Chen Tingwei was mocked again.
Earlier, he appeared in a group of party photos posted by former Hong Kong sister Kou Hongping, he was wearing a lilac suit, through the sunglasses, still energetic, but after all, it was not like the old times, the Previous Sentence of the Hong Kong Media, which has always been poisonous, praised him for being stylish, and the next sentence was "Fat, Dress up as a local tycoon."
But Hong Kong media reports that even the age of Chen Tingwei, who was born on September 1, 1961 in Chaoyang, Guangdong Province, was 60 years old at the beginning of the month.
The age of a former artist, will the Hong Kong media still care? But Chen Tingwei also had a moment when the red river penetrated the fragrant river.
Twenty-nine years ago, director Chen Musheng, whose posthumous work "Fury Case" has exceeded 1 billion at the box office, was full of ambition, for the ATV director "Winner is King", the episode won the ATV ratings champion of that year, and successfully surpassed the WIRELESS drama ratings, becoming a classic example of at least several times in the history of ATV that has lost the wireless, Chen Tingwei became popular with the role of Shi Jiakang, and even the students in the mainland campus continued to practice his flying card stunt during recess.
In 1997, he was hand-picked by the then chairman of ATV, Lin Baixin, to star in "He is from Chaozhou" based on him, Chen Tingwei was in the sky at ATV's momentum, and was named the son of ATV by the media, when he was still the son of Shen Dianxiagan, who was dragged by the great beauty, and was closely followed by the gossip media, becoming a popular figure.
However, Chen Tingwei's star path was also changed by the rise of ATV in 1999 with Lin Baixin's sale of ATV and his transformation into the honorary chairman of ATV forever.
It turns out that the things of the world have never been still and deep, and the silence will bring you into the new wilderness.
The winner of the entertainment industry is the king, the loser is the coward, and many people and many things in that year have now become legends.
And the story of Chen Tingwei, the former atvest one brother of ATV, how many people still want to hear it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > the wireless era of ATV brothers: "man wolf wei", I am good</h1>
Before telling Chen Tingwei's story, let's talk about another Chaoshan man, this person is Li Ka-shing's "leading big brother" of Teochew people in Hong Kong, China- Lin Baixin.
Lin Baixin's father, Lin Xianzhi, was a famous businessman and banker in Shantou, and Lin Baixin was born to Lin Xianzhi and the second house, ranking ninth, with a total of 13 brothers and sisters in the family.
Although you are a rich second generation, Lin Baixin does not have the habit of a brother-in-law, and when he was a child, he studied with his father while working in the bank at home, and hung up on "love to fight to win" all day long.
In the late 1960s, when Hong Kong's economy began to take off, Lam found that there was a strong demand for industrial buildings at that time, while most real estate developers only focused on the development of commercial and residential buildings. The discerning Lin Baixin seized this opportunity, vigorously developed industrial buildings, and gradually risen, in the eyes of the young Chen Tingwei, all this should have nothing to do with him, but the road of life is a long journey forward, you will not know, who will become your future boss.
Chen Tingwei was originally born in wireless, and together with Shao Meiqi and Deng Cuiwen in the second phase of the 1984 training class, but the wireless talent was abundant that year, and Chen Tingwei was not reused after graduation.
In 1984, he played the role of Yu Youlu in the TV series "Mansion", which was his first TV series work.
In the next six years, he participated in dramas such as "New Za Master Brother Sequel", but they were all supporting roles.
The first time he really appeared in the wireless drama, he played the villain Shi Jiarong in "I Am Kind", he and Qi Haonan, played by Wen Zhaolun, the two roles were one born from a well-off and embarked on the evil road, and the other was born in a gangster to convert to the right path, which is also a rare classic treacherous role of Chen Tingwei.
But just when his wireless career was gradually improving, a small thing happened.
That year's Hong Kong sister election, wireless habits let different students hold the hand of the candidate Hong Kong sister to appear, Chen Tingwei for several consecutive years of holding the beautiful ladies have become the champion, one year hong Kong sister finals, Chen Tingwei was arranged to accompany a candidate Hong Kong sister to appear, see her that night is very nervous, Chen Tingwei constantly comforted her, before the appearance Chen Tingwei also kissed each other's face lightly, wishing her success.
However, because of his overzealous behavior towards Hong Kong sister, he was given the name "Human Wolf Wei" by the Hong Kong media.
Although everyone knows that Chen Tingwei is not a real wolf, this title is enough to discredit a small student, and Chen Tingwei's career in wireless is difficult to improve.
Once he drank alcohol in the crew, was seen by the male protagonist Wan Ziliang, enlightened him all night, and then he learned to master the measure, and would also use the nickname to mock himself, at the end of 1989, he also met the wireless beauty Zeng Huaqian when filming, the two fell in love because of the drama, and the nickname of "Human Wolf Wei" gradually became less and less.
Despite this, in 1991 he made the most correct decision of his life - to switch to ATV with his girlfriend Zeng Huaqian. There, he will meet the nobles of his life.
Again, as the old saying goes, at the critical juncture of fate, choice is more important than effort.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="128" > son of ATV: hand-picked by the boss, sub-vision</h1>
At that time, ATV had just entered the [Lin Baixin era] not long ago.
In June 1988, Lin Baixin purchased a 30.83% stake in Asia Television in the name of his family and became the chairman of the board of directors of ATV, officially opening the largest television war in the history of Television in Hong Kong, China.
It is rumored that joining ATV is not Lin Baixin's will, but the idea of his son Lin Jianyue.
The credibility of this statement is quite high, because lin Baixin has never shown the intention of entering the entertainment industry in the past, but Lin Jianyue has become a new Hong Kong film bigwig with "Infernal Affairs" in the future.
But the ownership of ATV, still become a landmark scene in Lin Baixin's business career, although the RATINGS of ATV has not been as good as TVB, and then changed hands many times, after many reforms still can not get rid of the fate of falling, but in the entire development of ATV, the only one who can be called to compete with the wireless court is probably only the Lin Baixin era.
Before the Lin Baixin era, ATV only had a few cases of "Heavenly Silkworm Change" and "Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" that suppressed wireless several times.
In order to reverse the disadvantages of ATV, Lin Baixin made enough efforts, first let his son Lin Jianyue personally go out as a lobbyist, invited Shen Dianxia, the host of "Happy Tonight", with a cash check of 2 million, and then invited Zheng Shaoqiu, Huang Rihua, Ren Dahua and other heavyweight stars to pass the ATV.
Then he joined hands with the three talents Huang Xia, Ni Kuang and Cai Lan to create the still unforgettable interview program "Tonight No Defense", and many Hong Kong-style beauties left the most sincere moments in this variety show.
However, what really made Lin Baixin lead ATV to start a turnaround battle was the self-made drama.
At that time, he gathered a vote of film and television elites, and created a large number of excellent dramas such as "Silver Fox", "King of drama kings", "Zombie Daochang", "Jingwumen" and other excellent dramas, and the ATV dramas with the deepest public memory, in addition to the early martial arts classics, the others are basically from the Lin Baixin era.
During this period, ATV students also emerged in an endless stream.
For example, in "Silver Fox", he was toyed with by Wu Girl in the applause, and died because of it, and then in "I Have a Date with Spring", he and Deng Cuiwen faked a fake play to really do it, making a lot of trouble in the city.
and Lu Songxian, who has been praised for performing the most classic version of Ling Fox Chong.
As for Zhang Jiahui, he was still far from being a first-line student at ATV.
But in the Lin Baixin era, there is actually only one male artist who can really be called the sub-vision, he is after jumping to Asia Television, because the identity of the Teochew people is "glue himself" Lin Baixin looks up to the front line - Chen Tingwei, the "human wolf wei" of this wireless era, will become the son of ATV.
In the early 1990s, TVB focused its creative direction on the filming of Jin Yong's martial arts dramas, and successively planned works such as "Nine Yin True Classics", "ZhongshenTong Wang Chongyang", "Legend of the Archery Hero", "New Divine Eagle Hero" and so on.
ATV knew that it was difficult to compete with the wireless martial arts dramas filmed by Li Tiansheng and others in the martial arts theme, so it took a different path and focused on the "gambling film theme" that gradually emerged in the film industry that year, the head cannon was "The Winner is King", and Lin Baixin's other major strategy was: while poaching the wireless, trying to create ATV's own head artist.
It was in this heat that someone grabbed the outlet.
Lin Baixin is indeed discerning. In 1990, a "Heavenly Love" let Chen Musheng's name be seen, but Hong Kong films were full of talents, and it was not Chen Musheng's turn to stand on the front desk.
At this time, Lin Baixin invited Chen Musheng back to ATV, and asked him to direct the first work, which was the work of the sub-vision heart, "The Winner is King".
Chen Musheng is good at creating audio-visual scenes and shaping the characteristics of personality characters in the play, if it were not for the action film wizard to join, Shi Zhikang's flying card stunt is not so perfect, it is difficult to say.
Many of the roles in the series that year were unforgettable, such as Zhang Jiahui played by Wan Qiwen, Nie Wanlong played by Qin Pei, Tu Tianlong played by Fang Gang, Hong Feng played by Wu Yijiang, and the performance of the film emperor Zhang Jiahui that year were not enough to emerge.
But the most critical role is still the male protagonist Shi Zhikang.
Many years later, it was just revealed that the role of "Shi Zhikang" was originally set to be played by Lu Songxian, and as a result, Chen Tingwei talked to director Li Peiquan and talked with the other party all night," "from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. to stop", and finally won the classic role of "Shi Zhikang".
Chen Musheng followed Du Qifeng in the wireless filming of Jin Yong martial arts dramas, and sure enough, the role of Shi Zhikang was also like a mixture of Ling Huchong and Guo Jing.
Shi Zhikang was originally just a waiter in the "casino", although he had a mother who was addicted to gambling, but he had no interest in gambling at all, but by chance, he was always surrounded by a master of gambling skills, and everyone was eager to pass on his lifelong learning to him.
In the end, he became the king of gambling, and he also became the person that everyone in the whole jianghu wanted to challenge. Even if he wants to go into hiding, it is still difficult to escape the fate of the winner as king.
This role opens with a handsome explosion in the late Stage of Mu Ne, and is played by Chen Tingwei as natural and charming, especially the flying card shot designed by Chen Musheng for him, which is even more handsome.
Coupled with the fact that Chen Tingwei himself was also very good at learning, taking the initiative to take the script to discuss acting skills with Fang Gang, who played the villain, at that time, Chen Tingwei just played the villain role of "I Am Kind", took the video tape to Fang Gang to see, Fang Gang commented: "I don't like your body language and movements, walking is not angry at all, like a lower third-rate generation, playing Xiaosheng drama can not be like playing the acting method of character actors, Xiaosheng drama is a play of male charm and demeanor. You first have to change the way you walk, and you have to walk at least like a family boy to attract the audience. ”
Fang Gang's comments are right to the point, and then Chen Tingwei continues to adjust, acting more and more expensive, especially in the gambling table duel is full of elegant charm like the children of the family, plus the gambling film is in the limelight, Shi Zhikang and "The Winner is King" are all on fire.
To what extent is the fire? Not only did the drama win the ATV annual championship, but even primary and secondary school students would learn to fly like the people in the play, and the poker was almost sold out, Shi Zhikang, absolutely worthy of the top stream of the year.
In 1992, "Winner is King 2: Invincible Under Heaven" was broadcast, and the ratings were still explosive.
ATV's team also set up a "winner studio" and filmed a spin-off movie such as "God of Gamblers", which was also starred by Chen Tingwei. However, due to the lack of Chen Musheng's participation, the response to this part was mediocre.
At that time, Lu Songxian also played two roles in the first and second parts of "The Winner is King", namely Jiang Baiqi and Di Xin.
In the third part of the series, the lead actor was replaced by Jiang Hua.
This series is so classic, so that more than 20 years later, wireless shooting gambling dramas, found ATV veteran Chen Zhanpeng as the starring, not only the protagonist's biological father's name is also called "Tianlong", and then turned against each other, the protagonists of the two dramas and friends pursued the plot of the gambling king's daughter, but also almost copied the bridge section of "Winner is King", when the audience ridiculed, is it really "ATV Eternal"?
After "The Winner is King", in 1993, Chen Tingwei filmed "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" based on Du Yuesheng, adding many action elements of ATV dramas, and after winning the championship, in 1994, he took advantage of the victory to shoot the second "Goodbye Huangpu Beach 2 · Resurgence". This time, the ratings were less than ideal.
Coupled with the gradual rise of Jiang Hua and Lin Weichen, Chen Tingwei simply went to Taiwan to develop between 1995 and 1997, shooting four TV series.
One of them also rewrites Chen Derong's star path.
At that time, "Huan Zhu Gege" once fixed the role of Chen Derong, but due to some investment problems, there has been no way to start filming, pushing off Chen Derong, who was waiting at home for more than a year, he really felt that there was no way to continue to wait, so he took over the tragic idol drama TV series "Lily in the Wind", Chen Tingwei played the rich businessman Lin Junyan in the play.
However, "Lily in the Wind" just began filming, "Huan Zhu Gege" announced the start of filming, Chen Derong lost the opportunity to become popular again in his acting career, but the gains and losses of the showbiz circle are not a momentary trend.
Chen Tingwei, who performed mediocre in the Taiwan puppet drama, received a call from a nobleman - in 1997, ATV began filming "I am from Chaozhou" adapted from Lin Baixin's life experience, and Lin Bo designated the protagonist - Chen Tingwei.
At that time, the whole drama was filmed in Shantou, which was a big stroke of Hong Kong drama.
And it turns out that Lin Baixin once again chose the right person, Chen Tingwei's performance of perfectly integrating the local atmosphere and the tycoon aura, steadily controlling the role, coupled with the breakthrough of the story, the drama became the at-home tv drama ratings champion at that time.
After that, ATV filmed a derivative drama "I am from Guangzhou", still starring Chen Tingwei, who was at ATV and officially reached its peak.
However, if a person's star path is given by chance, then once the sky passes, it may also drift away with the wind.
This time, the influence of Chen Tingwei's vision of the stars is still his noble Lin Baixin.
It is said that after Lin Baixin acquired ATV, the loss was close to 3 billion yuan, but he did not give up lightly. In 1995, Lin Baixin promised that he would never sell ATV in the next few years.
He also encouraged ATV employees, saying he was determined to break even and promised to list ATV after profitability and stability, and then give shares to all employees who had contributed to ATV. This kind of behavior is deeply loved by ATV employees, and everyone affectionately calls the boss "Limber".
It was under his creation that ATV's share of the local market once rose from 20% to nearly 40%, almost competing with wireless.
In 1996, ATV turned a loss into a profit, with a net profit of 12 million yuan, and entered the heyday under the leadership of Lin Baixin. If the good times of Lin Baixin's era continue, Chen Tingwei's momentum in ATV can be maintained for at least a few more years.
However, in the blink of an eye, everything has turned upside down.
In 1998, under the influence of the financial turmoil, ATV reproduced the financial crisis, and Lin Baixin, who faced internal and external troubles, could only sell atvesta equity to Feng Xiaoping and Liu Changle, and since then ATV equity has entered a period of continuous change of hands, and ATV has officially ended the Lin Baixin era.
After the new boss took office, the first big stroke was to buy "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" in 1999, and the ratings once surpassed those of wireless. The atvest executives who have tasted the sweetness are more determined to buy the policy of purchasing dramas, and the result is that the introduction of "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Big Mansion Gate", "Young Hero Fang Shiyu" and so on have achieved good results.
But everything goes back to the origin of time, and if you look at those subtle historical turns, you will find that everything must be placed in a longer timeline to be clearly seen.
It is precisely because of the great success of the purchased drama that the new boss has increasingly shrunk his investment in ATV's self-made dramas, and since then, ATV can be said to have no homemade drama classics, the tide of the past has faded, and the former small students have begun to drift away.
The first to leave was Chen Tingwei, the son of atvecta.
In 1999, Chen Tingwei filmed the last drama "Hai Rui Dou Yan Song" for ATV. Subsequently, it entered the mainland market.
And over-reliance on outsourced dramas at ATV, the quality of self-made dramas began to decline sharply, Lin Baixin dug up all the wireless artists back to wireless that year, ATV lost a large number of artists, the situation is not as good as a year. In the end, it is difficult to escape the fate of closing the stage.
The change in the pattern of the rivers and lakes is only in the blink of an eye. And fate cracks like a spider's web, and everyone has its own trajectory.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="131" > the days when Shen Dianxia's son was patted and dragged</h1>
During the ATV period, another big gain of Chen Tingwei was that when filming "The Giants", he met Shen Dianxia, who also passed from the wireless file, and the more they filmed, the more they contracted, and simply formed a mother and son.
Chen Tingwei also met many insiders through Shen Dianxia, and it can also be said that in ATV, Shen Dianxia is the second noble person of Chen Tingwei in addition to Lin Baixin.
It was also during this period that Chen Tingwei left the most famous gossip romance on the way to the stars.
In 1984, when he was still a model, he and Chen Yalun, who was also a model, broke up 4 years later, and the second relationship was with Zeng Huaqian, the two once had an ATV file together, Chen Tingwei declared: "Not she does not marry", and also gave Shen Dianxia, a dry mother, "daughter-in-law tea".
However, this relationship eventually ended in 1993 with Zeng Huaqian unilaterally announcing the breakup.
Zeng Huaqian even stated that she would "never fall in love with insiders again", of course, she still spread a scandal with Ma Ming later.
It is said that the reason for the breakup is that Zeng Huaqian complained that Chen Tingwei had "machismo" and did not care enough about her. There is also a rumor that Chen Tingwei cares that his girlfriend's career is stronger than his, and he also wants to break into his career, ignoring his girlfriend's feelings, and finally the two parted ways.
Later, Chen Tingwei explained: I can only say that I ask myself to be single-minded about love, not a person who spends a lot of heart, but there may be some "big men" who are not a person who takes care of his girlfriend completely carefully, and my accommodation and patience are also limited, and it is not easy for two people to be together, especially for a long time, to tolerate and include more, otherwise it is easy to have a disgusted and tired mentality.
Overall, breakups are done without losing grace.
But Chen Tingwei, who said goodbye to love affairs and atevision, did not know at that time that a person's stormy era had passed, and God never said hello.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="132" > Chen Tingwei: Success is also ATV, defeat is also ATV</h1>
When we pull the horizontal axis for a long time, we can still see the most ups and downs.
Chen Tingwei seemed to be very successful in the early days of his entry into the mainland, and in 2000 he was invited to play Nan Guohong in the mainland drama "Fast Mouth Li Cuilian", and played a rival role with Li Xiang, which became a hit in the ratings of that year.
Later, he played a leading role in "Zheng Chenggong", "Detective LeiMing" and other dramas, when Tang Guoqiang also matched him in "Zheng Chenggong", but unfortunately the response was mediocre.
After a series of setbacks, coupled with the continuous rise of small students in the mainland market, Chen Tingwei's film contracts have become less and less popular, and his popularity has gradually slipped. Slowly, fewer people were looking for him.
In October 2008, Zhang Jizhong invited Chen Tingwei to participate in "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" and played the role of "Yang Xiao", but due to Chen Tingwei's sensitivity to wig head coverings, he eventually gave up the performance and once again lost the opportunity to become popular in the mainland market.
He slowly faded out of view, filmed several film and television dramas, and there was no splash.
In 2016, he attended the meeting of "Chaoshan Smoke and Rain" and told the media that he had long turned to behind-the-scenes development.
On November 24, 2018, Chen Tingwei opened a Weibo, and there were only 30 followers in two days, and his first Weibo had only 8 replies.
Some netizens pity him, but he said: "Red is not red is not important, happy is more important." “
Asked if he had become a "spokesperson for the Chaoshan people", he smiled and said: "It is a great honor for everyone to give me this title, I come from this place, which is my hometown." For me, no matter where I go, I am still willing to say: I am from Teochew. ”
But his time was over.
In 2019, he also attended the final of the asian sister with no sense of existence, and was ridiculed for "fa fu" and "dressed like a local tycoon".
Although the popularity is no longer there, Chen Tingwei has never forgotten the benefactor of that year, after the death of Shen Dianxia, every year on Mother's Day, he will still commemorate Shen Dianxia. He said that when the god Shen Dianxia died, he was also around, and the last sentence that Shen Dianxia said to him was "I LOVE YOU", so every time he saw Zheng Xinyi in the future, he must also say "I LOVE YOU".
It seems that Chen Tingwei's life's star path is connected with ATV, the year he entered ATV, it was the beginning of Lin Baixin's ATV era, AND self-made dramas urgently needed the protagonist, it was a coincidence, and let him meet a Chen Musheng who was good at making the male protagonist charming. Chen Tingwei later filmed a mainland drama and a puppet drama, but never reproduced the style of ATV dramas, which shows that ATV dramas can indeed tap his charm the most.
But honor and disgrace, blessing and misfortune?
Once he lost ATV, the stage that suited him best, he also lost his former starlight.
At the moment when ATV announced the end, most of the artists had already found a way out in advance. The ups and downs of the world, the glory and disgrace of the past, in the coordinates of 10 years and 20 years, what is gained.
The change of the times has folded into a tide, submerging the former ATV in it, some people have passed the wireless file, some people have gone north, and some people have left the front of the screen directly.
And Chen Tingwei, who has long been gone, is increasingly forgotten by people.
There is nothing to lament, he has struggled to send out his own starlight in the best period, which is far better than many artists who have never met in their lives, and those who can be like the third brother Miao Qiaowei, who have been like a jade tree for decades, are rare after all.
Chen Tingwei, 60 years old, is already an absolutely well-maintained model among his peers, but people are accustomed to using Shi Zhikang's standards to look at him, but won't Shi Zhikang be old?
At that time, he starred in the theme song "Victory Hands Creation" "Victory Two Hands Creation" you may not have heard, but "Love to Fight to Win" you have definitely heard, in fact, this song has many local language versions, "Victory Hands Creation" is the Cantonese version sung by Ye Zhentang, the lyrics of "Love To Fight to Win" wrote, "Three points are destined, seven points rely on hard work, love to fight will win." The Cantonese version of the lyrics is equally inspiring, "Never complained about life, worked hard all my life, and won the victory of both hands".
This may be a footnote to part of Chen Tingwei's life's fate.
But life is like a drama, and another part of Chen Tingwei's life footnote is hidden in the theme song sung by Zheng Shaoqiu, who briefly passed at THEA at night, for "The Winner is King": If on winning or losing, Mo Qing wins or loses, fate seems to be arranged, try to have, turn a blind eye, gradually understand a new realm, laugh at the reason, this life has no boundaries, that gets that loss, and then passes a new realm. ”
At 00:00 on April 2, 2016, the ATV screen suddenly appeared blue.
ATV officially ended.
Hong Kong media went to interview Chen Tingwei, and he said with emotion: "I miss Lin Bo so much!" ”
Life's winter solstice flowers fail, spring blossoms, are the norm... Every disappearance has a cause and effect.
Chen Tingwei is from Chaozhou, and naturally should understand that no matter how beautiful the tide is, it must eventually obey the rise and fall of the sea.
