In "The Legend of Ah Fei", the classic gambler image created by Liang Chaowei does not have a single line in the whole process, which exceeds the aura of the protagonist Zhang Guorong in just three minutes, but few people know that at first he refused to star
Because the gambler he hated the most in his life, just three minutes reminded him of the childhood shadow of the family breakdown
In 1962, Liang Chaowei was born in Hong Kong, his family environment is very bad, his father is a full-fledged drunkard and gambler, every time he loses money, he will quarrel with his mother at home, and even fight with his family, so Liang Chaowei has a sense of fear of the family since he was a child, when he was ten years old, his parents divorced, his father did not even say hello and left, and his mother raised him and his sister alone
Because his mother was busy working to earn money, he borrowed the brothers and sisters to send them to his uncle's house, but his education method often made Liang Chaowei and his sister frightened, and the uncle could not resist what he did, otherwise he would be severely punished
Divorce was a very rare thing in that era, and the neighbors around them often pointed out to them behind their backs, which made a teenager more and more inferior, he "closed" himself off, his personality became very withdrawn, he did not want to contact people, and if he wanted to vent his emotions, he said in the mirror in the house
In Liang Chaowei's future film "Chongqing Forest", the 663 he played often talked to himself alone, which is the true portrayal of Liang Chaowei in that year
In order to reduce the burden on his mother, liang Chaowei dropped out of school at the age of fifteen and began to work to earn money to subsidize the family, newsboy accountant, handyman, sales of electrical appliances, etc. He tried
Fortunately, during this time of breaking into the society, he got acquainted with Zhou Xingchi, and the similar encounters between the two made them good friends, the difference is that Zhou Xingchi hoped to become a big star like Bruce Lee since he was a child, and Liang Chaowei only wanted to work part-time to make money, and he could not bear the soft and hard bubbles of Zhou Xingchi, so the two applied for the wireless artist training class together
But I didn't expect that in the end, Liang Chaowei was hired, and Zhou Xingchi failed to pass the examination several times before entering the night training class, and the distance between the two was thus widened, and Liang Chaowei's luck in the training class could be described as very good
First he hosted a children's program with Stephen Chow in "430 Shuttle", and then he was selected by Run Run Shaw, and Formed with Andy Lau, Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, and Tang Zhenye, the hottest "Wireless Five Tigers", while Stephen Chow stayed up in the children's program for five years before he first came out
In 1984, Liang Chaowei starred in the TV series "Deer Dingji", the supporting role was Andy Lau, and the Wei Xiaobao he played was innocent, cheerful, kind and righteous, and even the original Jin Yong said that Wei Xiaobao, played by Liang Chaowei, was the best
Zhang Weijie, who starred in "New Brother Za" in 1987, was recognized by many audiences, and there was a saying circulating at that time, "Everyone knows Wei Xiaobao, people see people love Zhang Weijie", which is enough to see his influence at that time
Then he starred in TV series such as "Absolute Double Pride" and "Chivalrous", and became a first-line popular student in the Hong Kong television circle, and his brilliance was more than that
Liang Chaowei once said, "I can have today's achievements can not be separated from two people", one is Chow Sing Chi, who forced him into the show business circle, and the other is Wong Kar-wai, who really let him learn to act
In 1986, Liang Chaowei left TVB to officially enter the film industry, starring in the first film "Underground Love", which made him nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor
Later, with the movies "People's Heroes" and "Killer Butterfly Dream", he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor twice, but although he has already achieved high achievements, he only stopped the award for best supporting actor
Compared with Zhou Xingchi, who was far behind him in his early years, in 1990, with "A Comic Book Breaks the World" and "Gambler", he established the status of "Star Master" in a nonsensical style, which made Liang Chaowei, who had been unable to find a breakthrough, lose confidence in acting
Until he met Wong Kar-wai, many people knew that in the show business circle, countless actors love and hate director Wong Kar-wai, like him because he can win the grand prize with Wong Kar-wai, hate him because he is very strict with actors, there is basically no script for filming, and even after filming, the actors do not know what the movie is about
Wong Kar-wai's first film with him, "The Legend of Ah Fei", a scene of eating pears, Liang Chaowei NG 27 times, this time made him feel broken, went home and began to cry and bluntly said that he would not act
Liu Jialing was particularly distressed after seeing it, and also called Wong Kar-wai to fight for Liang Chaowei, and when the movie was released, Wong Kar-wai reserved the last three minutes for him
In the film, he did not have a line, just in a narrow space to simply comb his hair and change clothes, a short shot let Liang Chaowei find confidence again, understand that he can still act like this, and since then he has officially opened his road to film emperor
In 1994, in "Chongqing Forest", Liang Chaowei played the tormented and affectionate police officer Liu Liusan, who directly let him win the golden statue of the golden horse
Then the jianghu samurai of "East Evil West Poison"
Lai Yiu-fai of "Spring Breaks"
Zhou Muyun of "Fancy Years" and "2046"
Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs", his film emperor award won soft
Especially in "Fancy Years", with Maggie Cheung's acting skills, Liang Chaowei's melancholy and aura eyes easily bring everyone to a love story full of helplessness and loneliness, and this film also won him the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival in France, becoming the second Cannes film emperor in China
Liang Chaowei, who met Wong Kar-wai, was lucky, because under his lens, he discovered the unique charm of Liang Chaowei's hidden freedom, affection and story
Even Andy Lau, the King of Heaven who was rumored to be at odds with him, was amazed by his performance in the film, and at the peak of Liang Chaowei's career, Liu Jialing, who had accompanied him for many years, was made a big joke by life
In 2002, Hong Kong's East Weekly magazine published an indecent photo of Liu Jialing when she was kidnapped on the cover, which instantly caused quite a stir in society, and all this has to go back to 1990
At that time, Zeng Zhiwei invited Liu Jialing to play cards, but unexpectedly he was hijacked by gangsters on the road, encountered the darkest three hours of her life, when calling the police, Liu Jialing only said that she was robbed, but after returning home, she saw Liang Chaowei rushing from the set in a panic, Liu Jialing could not help but hold him and cry
During this time, she could not get out of the psychological shadow, Liang Chaowei put down all his career at home to accompany Liu Jialing, originally thought that things had passed, but 12 years later, the haze swept back again, Liu Jialing once again became the center of public opinion, Liang Chaowei once again put down all the film in his hand and accompanied her
He even said to Liu Jialing, "This circle is so complicated, let's leave."
After that, Liang Chaowei found friends in the circle and stood up to resist the unscrupulous media together, and at the venue, Mei Yanfang, Jackie Chan, Zeng Zhiwei, zhang Guorong, all gave a fierce speech, and Liu Jialing also bravely stood up under the encouragement of Liang Chaowei
Perhaps it is Liang Chaowei's unconditional companionship and trust, Liu Jialing knows More clearly Liang Chaowei's feelings for herself, so when Liang Chaowei repeatedly appeared in scandals, her performance was also very free, and when Liang Chaowei attended the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony, he held Liu Jialing with his right hand and Maggie Zhang in his left hand to respond positively to these scandals
In 2008, Chao Wei and Liu Jialing ended a twenty-year long love run and entered the palace of marriage, this "silent" man used his quiet way to provide Liu Jialing with a safe harbor, this big boy who changed his life because of the breakdown of his family from childhood also had his own happy family at this moment
