A lifetime of acting in the world is bad, willing to make green leaves and red flowers.
There are thousands of masterpieces left in the world, and the legendary film road has come to an end.
This should be a true portrayal of Zeng Jiang's more than 60 years of deduction.
At 12:14 on April 27, the old drama bone of the Hong Kong circle quietly went to another world in his hotel room.
At the age of 87, he has been struggling in his hospital bed for nearly a year, and his departure may be a relief for him now.
When it comes to Zeng Jiang, most people probably have two words quickly flashing in their minds: bad guy and Xie Xian.
Indeed, Zeng Jiang has been playing villains all his life, and most of the time he has made the audience hate so much that his bad guy image has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
As for Xie Xian, it is natural that the "slap incident" made the two drama bones make headlines together, and the media created a "century war" posture, which made netizens watch a wave of hilarity.
From this point of view, Zeng Jiang's "external image" is indeed not very good, his fame is not as good as many first-line actors, and his honor is not as good as that of the film emperors and kings in the Hong Kong circle.
But don't forget that it is precisely with an old drama like him as a match that the protagonist can shine.
Playing a villain, but interpreting the connotation, this is true in the play, and it is even more so outside the play.
Looking closely at Zeng Jiang's acting career over the years, although it is not a legend, it is also wonderful enough.
If you count the time, 67 years have passed since Zeng Jiang filmed his first play.
It was 1955, and the 21-year-old Zeng Jiang first appeared on the screen, and he was the protagonist from the beginning.
However, what is surprising is that after acting in his debut film, Zeng Jiang did not take advantage of the heat to develop in the circle, but turned around and went to the University of California, Berkeley in the United States to complete his architecture studies.
After further study and then career, it is extremely difficult for a young person in his early 20s to make such a decision. In contrast, most of today's new generation of stars are constantly lost in vanity fair and spotlight, giving up the opportunity to pursue connotation.
Of course, Zeng Jiang chose to give up his career as an actor to study architecture not just to improve himself.
In his time, the status of the actor was more than what he is now than one heaven and one underground.
At that time, most people still felt that drama was a drama after all, and it was inferior after all, so Zeng Jiang chose a relatively decent profession.
But after a few years of going around, he was back on the screen.
No way, a lot of times what you really love has to use everything to pursue. Only when you give something can you get something.
Zeng Jiang, who returned to the film and television circle, once again "put on the battlefield" and prepared to do a big job, but the reality was not as he thought, and many movies in a row were mediocre, and he did not really become popular in the circle for many years.
By the early 1970s, he had watched as his descendants began to emerge, and he still didn't make too many waves.
Until he starred in the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Archery Hero", the role of Huang Yaoshi.
Zeng Jiang played Huang Yaoshi's righteous and evil and a lonely arrogance to the fullest, and was known as the most classic "Huang Lao Evil".
After this corner, Zeng Jiang really became famous, and finally found his own positioning.
Since then, he has gone further and further down the path of the villain.
Whether it is the fierce adoptive father in "Across the Sea" or the Thunder Tiger in "Lame Hao", the audience can see it and grit their teeth.
Of course, Zeng Jiang has not played a decent role, and the uncle in "The True Colors of Heroes" is Yi Bo Yuntian, but he has strung too many bad people to let the audience form an inherent impression.
In short, Zeng Jiang belongs to the late stage actor, after the age of 45, his career began to take off, and even appeared frequently in Hollywood at the peak, and in the later stage, Zeng Jiang's status in the Hong Kong circle is already a proper predecessor, and it is not too much to say that he is on par with Xie Xian.
However, compared to his career, his emotional path is more exciting.
In 1964, when filming "The Great Circus", he met his first wife, Lan Di.
At that time, Lan Di was a generation of red flowers, a proper goddess-level existence.
Of course, zeng jiang when he was young was not bad, tall and tall, and had a handsome face that fascinated everyone.
The two are the same male and female protagonists in the play, and soon sparked a spark of love, and then entered the marriage hall, Lan Di chose to live behind the scenes for the sake of the family, becoming a solid backing for Zeng Jiang.
But unfortunately, the two can come together because of love, but they can't stand the test of time, and the ten-year marriage ended.
After divorcing Lan Di, Zeng Jiang soon fell into a career downturn, leaving only supporting roles to play.
It was also during that period that Zeng Jiang met the beautiful writer Deng Gongbi, and his second marriage began.
But what was different from before was that this time it was a model of strong women and weak men, and Zeng Jiang often could not raise his head in front of Deng Gongbi.
Most of these marriages will not work together to grow old. So, another decade passed, and Zeng Jiang was single again.
By the time he married his third wife, Jiao Jiao, he had entered middle age, but this time he finally met the right person, and the two walked together for a long time.
Looking back at the life of the old drama bone Zeng Jiang, the career has been considered complete, the feelings are even more colorful, and marrying three wives is also a complete child.
In the later stage, even Xie Xian, who was in trouble with him, visited him personally, and the two laughed and hated each other.
Living like this is not worth it.
