He was once a gangster gangster, and served as a guest actor during the crew, and has been associated with the entertainment industry ever since.
At the peak of his career, because of the bad market conditions, he tried to turn around with gambling, but he fell deeper into it, and there were still unfinished debts when selling assets, and his former friends left him.
After paying off his debts, he became rich in ten years by "digging holes for gold", and now his family is happy and persuades people to be kind.
He is "Big Brother B", Wu Zhixiong.
At the end of 1953, Wu Zhixiong was born in sprout pits in the east of Hong Kong Island.
Compared with the prosperity of Hong Kong, Sprout Pit is just a slum, and most of the residents live in temporary tin wooden houses, and the living environment is extremely simple and simple.
Wu Zhixiong's parents are low-level workers, in the long run, in order to improve the family conditions must have labor, so his parents have 8 children in a row, Wu Zhixiong ranked fifth.
It is so easy to raise children, although at that time this aspect was not yet rolled up, but the most basic degree of eating and wearing always had to keep up, and the money earned by the two low-level workers could meet the basic life of a family of 10 people.
So Wu Zhixiong dropped out of school after reading the second grade and spent all day outside the village.
At that time, the underworld forces were rampant, the slums were particularly rampant, and the parents were too busy with work to discipline, and soon Wu Zhixiong joined the gang.
In 1966, 13-year-old Wu Zhixiong came to Causeway Bay to join the gang and Hetu.
At that time, hehetu's power was extremely large, because hehetu produced a "stupid guy Tai", Chen Tai.
At that time, the "five hundred million inspector" Lü Le had not yet retired, and many of Lü Le's fields were attended by Chen Tai, so Hehetu also grew.
After Wu Zhixiong joined, he also ate a wave of community dividends, although he was not tall, he was a good fighter in fighting, and he was even more moralistic to his brothers, and when he was 15 years old, he had a place in Causeway Bay and became a small leader.
In order to make himself more prominent, Wu Zhixiong also deliberately tattooed an eagle with teeth and claws on his right arm.
In 1976, at the age of 23, Wu Zhixiong became the causeway bay speaker of Hehetu, many gambling stalls and green buildings in Causeway Bay were watched by him, and his younger brothers exceeded a thousand, and on the acres and three points of land in Causeway Bay, who came had to give a few thin noodles, and the scenery was infinite.
At that time, gangsters were full of people from all walks of life, such as film companies wherever they went to make movies, they had to pay protection fees to local communities, otherwise there would always be all kinds of troubles on the set.
Of course, the most convenient thing is to directly invite a powerful gang boss to cover his own shooting scene, and let the gangsters solve it themselves, a bit similar to the caretaker home invited by the ancient rich and noble family.
In the 70s, TVB invited the powerful Wu Zhixiong to watch for himself, and at the same time watched for TVB, he formed an indissoluble relationship with the entertainment industry.
After getting acquainted with the tvB crew, Wu Zhixiong ran several times in TVB's "People in the Net" and "Frenzy" and other episodes to earn extra money.
Later, TVB's brother company Shao Shi took a fancy to Wu Zhixiong's fist and foot kung fu, so he pulled him to Shaw's crew to become a martial artist.
In this way, while watching the scene for the crew, he also worked part-time as a martial artist, and the two incomes enriched Wu Zhixiong in material terms.
Material is full, but emotionally it is still alone, of course, with the arrival of fate, everything will naturally come naturally.
That day, when Wu Zhixiong was drinking afternoon tea, a waitress in the tea restaurant appeared in front of him.
Only to see that although the man was only a waiter, his behavior was generous, he spoke softly, coupled with Swen's pure appearance, a look of knowledgeable dali, such an image of a virtuous wife and a good mother, it was like a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of traditional parents.
Although Wu Zhixiong is a gangster, he still maintains a traditional concept of the concept of family in his bones. So, under the unremitting efforts of Wu Zhixiong, the waitress became his girlfriend.
In 1980, after Wu Zhixiong's girlfriend gave birth to his eldest daughter, the two of them married.
Although she was very rich in materials after marriage, her wife would be able to buy it for her if she liked Wu Zhixiong; but Wu Zhixiong still lived an underworld life, with two beef knives on his body for many years, and his wife spent every day in fear, and every night she had to see Wu Zhixiong go home before she could sleep.
As the saying goes: "I often walk by the river, where there are shoes that are not wet!" ”
Just when his wife was about to become pregnant again, Wu Zhixiong went into the cell because of deliberate injury, and every time his wife came to visit the class, Wu Zhixiong had no face to face.
During Wu Zhixiong's imprisonment, the family sat on the mountain and ate the sky, and the originally solid small family gradually fell into decline.
After his release from prison, Wu Zhixiong can be described as empty-handed, his men have long been scattered by birds and beasts, and the territory before entering prison has also been occupied by others, which is simply a true portrayal of "people walking tea and cooling", just like the "crows" in "Ancient Puzzle Boy" said: "None of the people who come out of the mix are moralistic." ”
In order to earn income, Wu Zhixiong once again picked up the two beef knives that had not left his body for many years and fought again.
Improving the current situation of poor money, Wu Zhixiong also wants to develop into a serious industry and does not want to repeat the mistakes of that year.
In 1987, Lin Lingnan and Lin Lingdong's "Prison Storm" began filming, in order to make the film more realistic, it was necessary for a gangster who had been imprisoned to be a guide, in addition to needing a large number of horse boys to act as a group performance, but also to teach actors to speak "black words".
At that time, Xiang Huayan, the "second-generation dragon leader" of New Ngee An, was arrested for his involvement in organized crime, and no one in the jianghu dared to act as this guide.
In the end, Lin Lingnan could only come to Wu Zhixiong to take on this heavy responsibility, and Wu Zhixiong and Lin Lingnan were close friends for many years, so they gladly agreed. This time Wu Zhixiong is purely to help his friends complete the film shooting, who knows that he officially stepped into the entertainment circle because of this participation.
At that time, Wu Zhixiong taught several Chow Yun Fat, Leung Ka Fai two starring and other important supporting roles "black words", while at the same time letting more than 200 of his horse boys perform in a friendly performance, he played a big guy in prison "Blind Snake" in the movie. In addition, he also won the qualification to sing the movie interlude "Light of Friendship" for his wife's girlfriend "Fat Mother".
After the release of "Prison Storm", it won more than 30 million box office and excellent word of mouth, which can be described as a double harvest, and Wu Zhixiong's "blind snake" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at the same time, he has also learned a lot of film production knowledge, and has officially stepped into the entertainment circle since then.
In 1988, watching the "Prison Storm" sell well, Lin Lingdong took advantage of the hot iron and cooperated with Wu Zhixiong again to launch "School Storm", which won nearly 14 million at the box office.
In 1990, Wu Zhixiong participated in "The Last Big Guy in jianghu" starring Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda, which may be the title of this movie that made him feel inspired, so after filming, he officially withdrew from jianghu.
In the film circle in recent years, Wu Zhixiong found that many people like to watch gangster-themed jianghu stories, and at that time the comic market was hot, so he found his good brother Cowboy, and after many days of discussion between the two sides, the storyline was fixed.
In 1992, the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" comic was born in this way, and many of the initial themes of the comic were taken from Wu Zhixiong's personal experience, it can be said that in the first "Ancient Puzzle Boy", Chen Haonan's prototype character was Wu Zhixiong.
In 1994, when the great director Liu Weiqiang was buying newspapers in newspapers and periodicals, he accidentally found that many people were flipping through the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" comics on the newspapers and periodicals, and after a closer look, they found that if they were made into live-action movies, it would be promising.
After returning to the set, just in the time of small talk with Wu Zhixiong, talking about "Ancient Puzzle Boy", Wu Zhixiong laughed when he heard Liu Weiqiang say "Ancient Puzzle Boy", and finally told him that many of the plots in this comic are based on his experience.
In this way, Zheng Yijian and Chen Xiaochun starred in the first "Ancient Puzzle Boy" began filming, under the guidance of Wu Zhixiong, the two of them can speak fluent "black words", in the movie like a typical jianghu person.
And Wu Zhixiong also personally went down, playing the role of "Big Brother B".
In 1996, before the release of "The Ancient Confused Boy in the Jianghu", many film industry bigwigs were not optimistic at the time, and the schedule of the film was relatively poor, and Chen Weiqiang was worried that the box office data on the day of the premiere was too ugly and did not go to work.
But who could have imagined that the film industry bigwigs are not optimistic about "Ancient Puzzle Boy", when the schedule is poor, it can still win more than 20 million high box office, and Wu Zhixiong also relies on "Big B Brother" to become popular.
Liu Weiqiang saw the big hit of the movie, and took only 11 days to shoot "Ancient Puzzle Boy 2: Raptors Across the River" in only 11 days, and once again won more than 20 million at the box office.
In 1998, the "godfather of the late Portuguese period" Bunyaju was in power in Macau, and he invested in an autobiographical film called "Haojiang Storm", in which the protagonist played by Ren Dahua was the prototype of The BengYaju, and Ren Dahua's nemesis in the film "Mola Bing" was played by Wu Zhixiong.
Afterwards, The Broken Tooth Colt was sentenced, and this movie became one of the evidences for his arrest, which was really laughable.
Speaking of Macau, we have to mention its specialty, the gambling hall. Wu Zhixiong also went to Macau to gamble, but this bet made him fall off a cliff.
It turned out that as early as 1997, the financial crisis broke out, and Wu Zhixiong's company was greatly affected. Faced with a bottomless pit of losses, Wu Zhixiong thought of coming to Macau to gamble and tried to turn around in this way.
You may have heard of losing family property from the gambling hall, and it is rare to hear that you can win a fortune from the gambling hall, and Wu Zhixiong is not spared.
In 1999, Wu Zhixiong, who owed a huge gambling debt, smashed pots and sold iron, not only the house was gone, but his wife's gold and silver jewelry was also sold, but this was not enough to repay the debt.
Visiting the people who used to call brothers and brothers, everyone avoided it, not only did not borrow money, but also friends were gone, which was simply worse.
There is also a friend who has feelings and righteousness and money in Wu Zhixiong, Gu Tianle.
When no one paid attention to Wu Zhixiong, Gu Tianle stood up and paid off Wu Zhixiong's debt, leaving hundreds of thousands of yuan in living expenses to Wu Zhixiong's wife.
Why would Gu Tianle help Wu Zhixiong pay off his debts? Legend has it that when Gu Tianle was banned, Wu Zhixiong once came out for him, which can also be regarded as a true portrayal of "the grace of dripping water and the retribution of the spring".
With the support of Gu Tianle, Wu Zhixiong regained his strength and became a man again, settled down his family and went to the mainland to pan for gold.
He came to the mainland to cooperate with friends in the catering business, but he did not make much money and could only make ends meet.
In 2009, Lee Shau Kee, who was one of the "Thirteen Taibao of Tsz Yun Shan", brought business to Wu Zhixiong, and under The bridge of Lee Shau Kee, Wu Zhixiong frequently appeared in the night show by virtue of his "Big B Brother" fame.
Since then, Wu Zhixiong has begun his "cave walking" career, taking over nearly 600 commercial performances in ten years, and the appearance fee has also changed from the initial 7,000 yuan to the later 50,000 yuan, and the peak period can perform 28 times a month, earning a lot of money.
It can be seen how deeply the "big brother B" is in the hearts of the people in the mainland.
I have to say that in the early years, when I co-created "Ancient Puzzle Boy" with the cowboy, it was just a whim, who thought that this unintentional move had become their future source of income.
Although the catering business that initially came to the mainland was tepid, Wu Zhixiong was very persistent in the catering industry.
With money, he began to show his ambitions and opened his catering empire.
During the commercial performance, he invested in 38 bars, and then cooperated with his brother-in-law to open a chain of theme restaurants, opened a number of Hong Kong-style hot pot restaurants in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and in addition, opened a number of "Zhixiong Kitchens" under his own name.
Many celebrities will find that their orders have been waived after eating in the "Zhixiong Kitchen".
In the "Zhixiong Kitchen" Shenzhen store, the walls are hung with photos of Wu Zhixiong and the celebrities, which can't help but make people sigh that his circle of friends is so strong.
Nowadays, Wu Zhixiong has a successful career and a harmonious family, and often uses his own personal experience to persuade people to do good deeds and not to go astray.
