Hong Kong cinema is the memory of a generation, especially the Hong Kong films of the 80s and 90s represent the glory of an era.
In that era, a large number of excellent movies emerged, such as "Ancient Puzzle Boy Series", "Police Story Series", "Wong Fei Hung Series", "Infernal Affairs Series", "Nonsense Series" and so on.
In that era, a large number of popular superstars emerged, such as male stars: the four kings, Zhang Guorong, Jackie Chan, Zhou Runfa, and Zhou Xingchi. Female stars include: Maggie Cheung, Zhang Min, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Qingxia and so on.
The brilliance of these films and the brilliance of these superstars are inseparable from the silent efforts of a group of people. They are called "green leaves" in a bit of a good way, and in Stephen Chow's movies, they are called "running dragon sets" and "dead running dragon sets".
It is this group of "dragon runners" who silently pay to achieve the cornerstone of the glory of Hong Kong films. It can be said that this group of dragon runners is the most qualified to represent the glory of Hong Kong films, and it is also the first to witness the loneliness of Hong Kong films.
Today we will look at the four "golden supporting roles" of that glorious era: Zeng Jiang, Wu Mengda, Wu Ma, and Ke Shouliang.
Zeng Jiang died: Jackie Chan sent a post late at night to mourn, and there is no longer a yellow old evil in the world.
On April 27, 2022, the famous Supporting Actor Zeng Jiang in Hong Kong passed away, and Jackie Chan posted a late-night tribute.
The article reads: "His image, acting skills and professionalism are examples for us to learn from." The professionalism that can be praised by Jackie Chan shows Zeng Jiang's dedication as an actor.
Zeng Jiang has played a lot of classic supporting roles, and everyone must be familiar with it.
Today I will only talk about his personality, very humble and low-key, and the professionalism is also very high.
A few years ago, there was a "slap on Zeng Jiang in public by Xie Xian", Xie Xian is Xie Tingfeng's father, a protagonist actor who once paid a dividend, so he developed a domineering personality of self-respect.
Once the two collaborated to dub a movie, Zeng Jiang took a very short time to successfully complete the work and was praised by everyone. Xie Xian, who was present, stumbled and could not enter the state,
At that time, everyone could not finish the work, which made Xie Xian very annoyed. The two are naturally superior compared.
After completing the work, at the celebration banquet, Xie Xian directly slapped Zeng Jiang. Perhaps it was accustomed to being a supporting role, Zeng Jiang did not fight back, and later the two used this as a joke and rounded the field. It can be seen that the generous mentality of the old man.
Who died in 2021 was Wu Mengda, one of the top golden supporting roles in Hong Kong and the golden partner of Stephen Chow.
Wu Mengda's contribution to Zhou Xingchi's "nonsense comedy" is very large, to make a metaphor, if Zhou Xingchi is Guo Degang, Wu Mengda is absolutely Yu Qian. It is Wu Mengda's "praise" in the movie that there is Zhou Xingchi's "teasing".
Who died in 2014 was Noonma, and his role in "Ghost of a Lady" Yan Chixia has become a classic.
Who died in 2003 was Ke Shouliang, who often starred in the supporting role of iron-blooded tough guys, and was a rare supporting role in the golden age. Ke Shouliang's status is very high, and he has a single "Big Brother" to invite Andy Lau, Ren Dahua and others to play supporting roles for him, and sing a single with him.
In 1992, Ke Shouliang used a motorcycle to fly over the Great Wall, and in 1997 Ke Shouliang flew over the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, becoming the first person in China's automobile stunts.
These four golden supporting roles can be said to represent many dragon runners in the Hong Kong film industry, who have played an important role in the glory of Hong Kong films, but after the decline of Hong Kong films, they have also gone to their own low points in life.
