As we all know, there are two ways for a person to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry: one is the second generation of the rich, and the other is the second generation of stars, which is especially obvious in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
In fact, many of the mainstays of the Hong Kong entertainment industry today are like this, such as Tse Ting-feng's father Xie Xian, Xiang Zuo's father Xiang Huaqiang and so on.
And the character told for everyone today is also a full-fledged veteran star - Guan Shan.
The audience friends of the younger generation of Guan Shan may be unfamiliar with this name, and occasionally they know only because he is the father of Guan Zhilin, the "first beauty of Xiangjiang", but in the 1960s he was a well-known Chinese film star.
He once won the International Film Emperor with the wonderful acting skills in "A Q Zheng Biography", and this is also the first international film emperor title in Hong Kong, but although Guan Shan, who has become the most popular actor in Hong Kong, is proud of the spring breeze, his personal life is a mess, and in his later years, he not only fell apart from his wife, his children turned against him, and even after his death, his ex-wife did not attend the funeral, and the desolation of the evening scene made people can't help but sigh.
Guan Shan, whose real name is Guan Bowei, was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in 1933, coinciding with the turmoil of the Sino-Japanese War, so Guan Shan began a life of exile when he was a child, and did not return to his hometown in the northeast until he was 14 years old to attend middle school, but guan Shan, who had a stable life after a few days, soon followed his father Guan Shidong through Beijing, Guangxi and Guangdong, and finally moved his family to Hong Kong to settle down.
Unfortunately, shortly after coming to Hong Kong, the successive deaths of his parents made Guan Shan lonely, and the language barrier coupled with the lack of academic advantages at first Guan Shan could only make a living as a dock worker and a bath lifeguard.
At the age of 19, Guan Shan came into contact with the movie that would change his life's fate - "Human Ghost Love".
The ups and downs of the plot and story deeply shocked Guan Shan also made him like the art of film, and when he returned home, he was still immersed in that strange world and could not extricate himself, as if Guan Shan, who opened the door to the new world, thought of his work in the iron factory and was unwilling, he did not think too much about it, he was determined to become an actor, but the actor was like his previous job as long as he was willing to sell his strength, after applying for the free film acting training class hosted by Huang Zhuohan, he decided to study hard to accumulate experience first. After five years of precipitation, he was finally successfully admitted to Great Wall Pictures.
After a year of acting training, Guan Shan finally became an actor in Great Wall Pictures, and his early experience made him much more able to endure hardships than his peers, and his efforts were seen by everyone in the company, including Yuan Yang'an, the director who suggested that he take the training class.
At that time, Yuan Yang'an was just preparing to adapt Mr. Lu Xun's book "A Q Zheng Biography", for which Yuan Yang'an found many actors to audition for the role of Ah Q, but they were not very satisfied, and at this time, Guan Shan, who had just graduated from the training class, appeared in his sight.
Guan Shan's appearance is very generous, and now he has learned more acting knowledge, plus he also has the experience of living in the countryside, such as tailor-made Guan Shan has become the best candidate for A Q, and it turns out that director Yuan Yang'an did not look away, Guan Shan won the Best Actor Award at the Swiss International Film Festival with "A Q", which is also the first version of A Q in the history of Chinese cinema, Guan Shan has since become popular.
In 1960, after becoming famous, Guan Shan threw himself into the new film industry owned by Yuan Yang'an of Bole, and became the hottest male actor in Hong Kong at that time with his films such as "Charming Holiday" and "Fishing Light Love".
Guan Shan met his future wife, Zhang Bingqian, who is also a popular movie star, in the new new film industry.
With the blessing of the name of the Emperor of Shadows, it is naturally not difficult for him to catch up with Zhang Bingqian at first sight, and the two soon fell in love and entered the marriage hall soon after.
In the 1960s, the Hong Kong film industry was in a golden age, and at that time, the film company was only Shao's family, and Guan Shan's Great Wall Film Industry was inevitably lonely, and seeing that the company's "west mountain was thinning" he took his wife Zhang Bingxi to shao.
When the red film emperor took the initiative to vote for Shaw's natural will not be treated badly, the first play transferred to Guan Shan was able to cooperate with the popular actress Lin Dai in the literary and artistic film "No Love", And Shao's mature operation made this film a great success and also allowed Guan Shan to officially gain a foothold in Shaw.
It is worth mentioning that the director of this "No Love" is Tao Qin, the director of the "Human Ghost Love", which is really no coincidence.
At the same time, Guan Shan's wife Zhang Bingqian slowly faded out of the film world after giving birth to her daughter Guan Jiahui Bracket (that is, Guan Zhilin) and lived the life of a husband and godson, with his wife's support guan Shan's acting career is also in the sky, and more than 20 films such as "Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage" and "Red Love" have cooperated with various first-line actresses and big directors, making him a "male god of literary and art films" in the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s.
It is said that "men become bad when they have money", not to mention the popular "dream lover" Guan Shan, after the fame and fortune, he also began to spread a lot of gossip, and slowly spent less and less time with his wife and daughter.
Zhang Bingqian gave up her popular career for Guan Shan to return to the family, but what her husband did made her disappointed, she attributed her misfortune to her lack of beauty, in this idea Zhang Bingqian instilled the concept of beauty supremacy to her daughter Guan Zhilin from an early age, but this could not save her failed marriage, the time for the family to get together was less and less, and the former tenderness and sweetness were also replaced by quarrels and contradictions.
Guan Zhilin grew up in such a paternal environment, and it seems not surprising that she made scandals in the future.
In the 1970s, due to Shaw's continuous oppression of artists and harsh contract conditions, many of the company's artists have jumped ship, and at this time, Guan Shan is no longer Shaw's top actor, and after thinking about it again, Guan Shan decided to leave Shaw.
After leaving Shaw's, Guan Shan did not sign a contract with any company but chose to stand on his own, and the cliff-like decline in resources made him keep going back and forth between Hong Kong and Taiwan during that period of time to shoot a large number of films, although he no longer had the courage to play some supporting roles, but with the accumulation of the early years, Guan Shan slowly shifted his career focus to the investment field.
At the same time, his wife Zhang Bingqian gave birth to her son Guan Shihua in order to save her husband, but she did not expect that this made the relationship between Guan Shan and his wife drop to the freezing point, and the pressure of work and the heavy family burden made him and his wife more and more contradictory, and finally the two officially parted ways in 1975.
After the divorce, Zhang Bingqian took her son to live in the United States, and Guan Shan settled in Taiwan with her lover and left her daughter Guan Zhilin alone in Hong Kong, and unlike the image of Dun Hou dedicated on the screen, Guan Shan is a playboy in private life.
So much so that when she saw her daughter sympathetically telling Qibo about her loneliness, she was responded by Guan Zhilin like this: Dad's emotional life is colorful, how can he feel lonely? Obviously, Guan Zhilin had quite a grudge against Guan Shan, his incompetent father.
At that time, Guan Zhilin had entered the entertainment circle with a good appearance, and officially debuted in 1981 with "Sweet Twenty-Four Tastes", leaving aside the name of "Daughter of Guan Shan", Guan Zhilin's beautiful appearance was also destined to make her popular in the future, and in the 1990 "Huang Feihong" series, Guan Zhilin became popular throughout Xiangjiang with the image of "Thirteen Aunts", and in 1998, she was rated as "the world's 50 most beautiful celebrities".
Perhaps influenced by her mother Zhang Bingqian's small words and deeds or because her father lacked companionship for many years, after becoming famous, she began to wander between the arms of major wealthy businessmen.
In 1982, Guan Zhilin and the rich merchant Wang Guojing met and quickly fell in love, the daughter's relationship in the father Guan Shan, who knows what a man is, seems to be nothing after all, but his father's strong efforts to prevent it made Guan Zhilin's rebellious psychology more and more intense, guan Shan once threatened suicide to be fruitless and had to agree to this marriage.
Facts have proved that Guan Zhilin's impulsive marriage was indeed a failure, even if there was already such a beautiful person around him, Wang Guojing still spent all day out drinking, and within half a year, he divorced hastily, and this year Guan Zhilin was just 20 years old.
After that, Guan Zhilin completely let go of herself and began to linger among the major rich merchants, and these rich merchants were also happy to spend thousands of dollars for them, and I don't know how Guan Shan, as a father, felt when he saw his daughter so depraved.
After fading out of the film world, Guan Shan still did not change his temperament, and there were still many young and beautiful girls in his sixties and seventies, which made his daughter Guan Zhilin hate him even more, until the 77-year-old Guan Shan stroke The relationship between the two eased.
In 2012, Guan Shan died of lung cancer, Guan Zhilinhao threw 4 million yuan to bury his father, and decades of grievances were resolved, but his ex-wife Zhang Bingqian never appeared from beginning to end, and the resentment against him can be described as deep into the bone marrow.
Guan Shan, who enjoys a lot of wind and fame and fortune, owes the most to his wife and daughter, and now Guan Zhilin, who is nearly a flower armour, is still single, which shows the influence of her original family, the Si people have passed away, but Guan Shan's contribution to the Chinese film industry is indelible, and he also wishes Guan Zhilin peace and happiness in the next few days.
