Just recently, it was confirmed through the media that Shen Wei, a well-known veteran actor who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, died of illness in Guanghua Hospital at the age of 71. After this news was announced, countless netizens have left messages, wishing him a good journey! According to his friend Yang Yi, Shen Wei did not suffer too much when he left, and left this world peacefully. Although everyone has a lot of reluctance for him, it is a lot of relief to hear that he has not suffered too much pain! In fact, since April 2019, the media reported that Shen Wei was sent to the hospital for treatment due to illness, and once transferred to the ICU ward, he had already pinched a sweat for him. Later, after learning that he was discharged from the hospital after his recovery, he participated in the TV series "Layout" with Zeng Jiang and others last year, and judging from the photos of the shooting scene that were circulated, Shen Wei's mental condition looked very good, so that everyone was very much looking forward to him continuing to bring wonderful performances!
Unexpectedly, on June 9 this year, the bad news that Shen Wei died of illness was reported, which really shocked everyone, and many audiences who have always loved to watch his performance were even more sad! Perhaps for many young netizens, as well as netizens who are not very concerned about Hong Kong dramas on weekdays, Shen Wei is not familiar with Shen Wei, but as a famous gold medal supporting role in the show business circle, Shen Wei was once the "green leaf" of superstars such as Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, etc., making many classic film and television works more interesting, and many of the supporting roles he starred in received even less attention than the protagonists!
For example, Shen Wei's wonderful performances can be seen in classic Hong Kong film and television works such as "Police Story 3", "Yi Gai Yun Tian", "Supreme Supreme", "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", "Dao Ma Dan", "Big Trouble Guangchanglong" and so on. Just like many netizens have sighed in the past two days, because Jackie Chan participated in the talk show "What to Do!" Talk Show" mentioned the "Police Story" series, and then watched "Police Story 3" again. When I saw that shen Wei, the actor who played the role of "Provincial Port" in the film, was greatly praised, I did not expect to receive the news of his death, and it was really difficult to accept that such an excellent actor left!
In fact, many netizens may have known from the 70s of the last century that Shen Wei has entered the show business circle since the 70s of the last century and in the early days of the rise of the Hong Kong showbiz circle, which is to witness the process of the Hong Kong showbiz circle from the rise, to the glory and now gradual decline with a group of old actors. But I don't know, his road to fame is also very bumpy!
Just over 10 years after entering the show business circle, because he had not been exposed to performance before, and had not encountered "Bo Le", Shen Wei has been silently playing some small supporting roles, dragon sets, etc. Until 1984, after playing the good and evil "Ah Tai" in "Provincial Hong Kong Flag Soldier", he not only won the 1985 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor award with his outstanding performance, but also successfully achieved fame. In addition, in the same year, he performed very brightly in "The Working Emperor", which made many directors favor him.
According to incomplete statistics, Shen Wei has starred in or directed more than 200 film and television works, which can be said to have made a very great contribution to the development of Chinese film and television. Although Shen Wei has played supporting roles in most film and television dramas, the actors who have worked with him, such as Yang Ziqiong, Wang Zuxian, Zhou Runfa, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, etc., have praised his acting skills, saying that they have a very pleasant cooperation with him, and when they play opponents together, they can always complete the shooting quickly.
With his superb acting skills, Shen Wei not only starred in many positive roles, but also played some villain roles in films such as "The Last Boss of the Jianghu", "Weilong Detective", "Police Story 3", etc., and because these villains were interpreted too vividly, they left a deep impression on the audience, and even won the titles of "Evil Man in the Film Industry" and "Gold Medal Green Leaf"! Nowadays, as a recognized excellent actor, he has left the world and left us as a recognized excellent actor who has brought countless high-quality film and television dramas and brilliant roles to the public, in addition to thanking him, I also hope that he will go all the way!
