In the lower Changkun.
"Nine Pin Sesame Officer"
Many film and television actors, the audience just remembers his character name, and forgets his original name.
For example, the many gold medal green leaves of Zhou Xingchi's movies, Pomegranate Sister, Wu Zhuangyuan, Daoyouming, Ruhua, and so on.
In 1994's "Nine Pin Sesame Officer", there are many classic bridges and classic roles, and many people only remember the roles in the movie, but do not remember the names of the actors, such as the villain Chang Wei's father, Admiral Chang Kun.
Chang Kun's actor is named Gu Feng
He was 64 years old at the time and had been working in the Hong Kong film industry for 30 years.
Many people remember the sinister and vicious Chang Kun because of "Nine Pin Sesame Officer", but they do not know that his actor Gu Feng is a living fossil of a Hong Kong movie.
[Gu Feng is also the patrol policeman who forced Hua Dan Qin Pei to run away in "Dao Ma Dan", the ghost officer who smoked a Red Mountain brand cigarette in "The Iron Fist of the Five Tigers of Guangdong" and "The Secret Life of Cixi", the gu order minister Su Shun who was sewn up, and so on. 】
Gu Feng, whose real name is Chen Siwen, was born in Shanghai on July 3, 1930, has a distinct mainland accent, and in the 1960s he used to sell singing at the Lai Yuen Amusement Park in Hong Kong for a living.
In 1965, at the age of 35, Gu Feng officially joined the Shaw Brothers Film Company as a basic actor, and has participated in more than 300 film and television works, including more than 150 Shaw films.
Shaw films are the first generation of hegemons in the Hong Kong film industry, and Shaw's road to hegemony is inseparable from the four major directors of Zhang Che, Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan and Chu Yuan. Among them, the earliest martial arts film grandmaster Zhang Che spent the longest time in Shaw and made the greatest contribution to Shaw.
In addition to movies, Zhang Che is most famous for accepting dozens of film stars as disciples, the most famous of which include Wang Yu, Dillon, Jiang David, Wu Yusen, Li Xiuxian, Qian Xiaohao, and so on.
Judging from the time of entry, Zhang Che's disciples were divided into six generations.
Some people believe that Gu Feng is also the first generation of Zhang Che's disciples, although he is only 6 years younger than Zhang Che.
However, whether Gu Feng is a disciple of Zhang Che or not, he did really enter the Hong Kong film industry through Zhang Che's films.
In the earliest, Gu Feng ran dragon sets in Shaw's song and dance films and Huang Mei tone films, such as playing a theater staff in Tao Qin's "Ten Thousand Flowers Welcoming Spring", playing a musician in Li Hanxiang's "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", playing a ghost soldier in Hu Jinquan's "Children of the Earth", and so on.
1966's "Three Heroes of Border City" was Gu Feng's first Zhang Che martial arts film, playing Li Juren, a villager in Horseshoe Village. With this film, Zhang Che's first generation of disciples, Wang Yu, Luo Lie and Zheng Lei, are all red, while Gu Feng and Wu Ma, who missed the age of Xiaosheng, can only play some small roles in the dragon set.
In the same year, Hu Jinquan's new martial arts film "The Drunken Man" made Zheng Peipei a martial arts queen in one fell swoop, Yue Hua, Chen Honglie and other small students were also popular, and Gu Feng played the subordinate of Jade Face Tiger (Chen Honglie), or Xiaolongtao.
In 1967, Zhang Che's "One-Armed Knife" became the first blockbuster in Hong Kong to break the million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, Wang Yu became the number one superstar of martial arts films, and Gu Feng was still a small dragon set, playing the father of one-armed knife (Wang Yu).
After making dozens of more movies, in 1969, Zhang Che made another "One-Armed Knife King", the male protagonist was still Wang Yu, and Gu Feng began to become the second boss of the villain.
In 1970, the second generation of disciples Dillon and David Jiang rose to become Shaw's twin stars; Dillon and Jiang David have cooperated many times, almost every time there is a figure of Gu Feng, and often play the most powerful villain, and the role status is further improved.
In "Thirteen Taibao", Dillon and Jiang David are the two male protagonists, and Gu Feng plays Li Keyong, the righteous father of the Thirteenth Taibao.
In "Revenge", Dillon and Jiang David play a pair of brothers, the eldest brother is killed, the younger brother avenges the big brother, and Gu Feng plays the role of the revenge villain Feng Kaishan.
With "Revenge", David Jiang won the Best Actor Award at the Asian Film Festival, becoming the first film emperor in Hong Kong.
Dillon and Jiang David, whose status in the film industry has been further improved, cooperated in a "New One-Armed Knife" in 1971, Dillon played the double-knife man Feng Junjie, and Jiang David played the one-armed knife Lei Li who finally avenged him. The villain who killed Feng Junjie and forced Lei Li to cut off his arm, Long Yizhi, was played by Gu Feng.
That is, from the end of the 60s, with Zhang Che's first-generation disciple Wang Yu gradually losing power and leaving shaw, the rise of the second-generation disciples Dillon, Jiang David and others, Gu Feng's status in Shaw and the Hong Kong film industry has gradually improved, and he has assumed the role of most of the major villains of martial arts films.
The various villains played by Gu Feng are not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely clever and city government; Although the final ending is very tragic, it can always hurt the protagonist very badly at the beginning, making the audience very addicted.
For example, the heavy cannon in "Boxing", Wan Tiankui in "Two Heroes", Lei Zhentian in "Golden Seal Vengeance", Yue Xihong in "Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles", and so on.
Of course, Gu Feng is by no means that kind of face-facing actor, and his acting skills are suitable for a very diverse range of roles.
In 1972's "Water Margin" and 1975's "Dang Kouzhi", Gu Feng played Song Jiang twice; In 1975's "Falling into the City", he played Li Hongzhang.
In 1973, Gu Feng also played the male lead in "Huang Feihong", playing the middle-aged Huang Feihong; In 1981, he played Huang Qiying, the father of Huang Feihong, in "Wuguan".
In 1982, Gu Feng played Wu Dalang in "Wu Song" starring Dillon, and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, and his acting skills were professionally recognized for the first time.
The following year, he won the award again for the literary film "The Girl To Be Sinned", becoming the first best supporting actor in the history of the Golden Horse Awards to win consecutively.
Chu Yuan, who has made the most ancient dragon martial arts movies, is the last of the four directors of Shaw to join Shao.
In the ancient dragon martial arts films directed by Chu Yuan, including "Meteor Butterfly Sword", "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", "Tianya Mingyue Sword", "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Chu Liuxiang" and other classics, Gu Feng's figure has been present.
Similarly, Gu Feng has also participated in many Jin Yong martial arts films.
In 1977's "Legend of the Archery Hero", 1978's "Sequel to the Legend of the Archery Hero" and 1983's "Yang Guo and the Little Dragon Girl", Gu Feng played Hong Qigong three times.

[Later, in the 1998 Chen Xiaochun version of the TVB drama "Deer DingJi", Hai Dafu was also played by Gu Feng.] 】
In 1985, Shaw announced the suspension of production, and Gu Feng, an old minister who had worked in Shaw for 20 years, was also unemployed on the spot like Dillon and other Shaw red stars.
However, Gu Feng soon found performance opportunities in other film companies.
In 1986, Gu Feng was featured in films such as Li Xiuxian's "Valet Parking", Xu Ke's "Dao Ma Dan", Yu Rentai's "The Dragon in the Jianghu", Chen Xunqi's "I Want a Golden Turtle Son-in-Law", Gao Zhisen's "Obsessed With Me", Xian Qiran's "Brother", And Chen Huiyi's "Zombie Turning Over" and other films.

After leaving Shaw, Gu Feng also worked hard in the Hong Kong film industry for 20 or 30 years, and cooperated with more film superstars.

Gu Feng has experienced more than 50 years of history in the Hong Kong film industry, not only witnessing the glory of Shaw's, but also witnessing the glory of the entire Hong Kong film industry from the 70s to the 90s, and then to the decline of the 00s and the dismal 10s, which is definitely a living fossil of Hong Kong films.
