On August 4, Chen Baixiang, a well-known veteran actor, publicly announced his retirement, saying: "I am 72 years old, the same year as Tan Yonglin, I should retire." ”
Chen Baixiang is the "golden supporting role" in Hong Kong, although there are few opportunities to play the main role, but he plays his supporting role no worse than the protagonist, which is also a classic memory in the memory of countless audiences.
And now Chen Baixiang, who is already in a very good state, his hair is still dyed red, and he looks as if he is only in his 50s.
I have to sigh that Chen Baixiang is so old, his body is still so tough, and it is estimated that it has a certain relationship with his good mentality.
Chen Baixiang and his wife Huang Xingxiu have been married for 43 years, even in such a big dye vat as the entertainment industry, Chen Baixiang has never had a scandal, and the relationship between the husband and wife has always been as loving as ever.
However, the only pity is that the couple has not had children so far, although each has their own way of life, but in their later years there are no children under their knees, and there is always some lack of happiness.
In fact, in recent years, Chen Baixiang has rarely filmed, except for occasionally participating in the hosting work, until this time announcing a complete suspension of career retirement.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the Miss Hong Kong pageant, it should be held very grandly, chen Baixiang, who has been the resident host of Hong Kong sisters in previous years, said that he would not participate in this year's hosting.
It seems that this decision is still a bit sudden, but Chen Baixiang is 72 years old after all, a lifetime of traversing the Hong Kong entertainment industry, when he was young, he was busy with his career, and now he must also want to accompany his wife Huang Xingxiu more, and settle down in his old age.
Chen Baixiang's show "Fortune to Laksa" once created the highest ratings history for TVB, and no similar program has been able to break the record for more than 20 years.
His wife Huang Xingxiu is also a famous actor of TVB, with a heroic eyebrow, beautiful atmosphere and sassy, and the image of the heroine played by her is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The older generation of actors always take acting very seriously and have their own beliefs, and the same is true of Huang Xingxiu.
However, it is precisely because of too much investment in filming and playing, Huang Xingxiu also fell injured and could no longer have children, becoming a lifelong regret.
It was when filming "Thirteen Sisters", Huang Xingxiu was only in her 20s, but she was already very serious about filming and was very strict with herself.
Sometimes, even if the director already feels that it is OKAY, Huang Xingxiu himself feels that it is not good enough, and will take the initiative to ask for a new one.
But in the middle of the filming of "Thirteen Sisters", Huang Xingxiu suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain on the set, and went to the hospital to check that he had peritonitis.
Huang Xingxiu originally had to recuperate well, and his condition should be recovered quickly, but in order not to delay the filming progress of the crew, Huang Xingxiu still took the illness to shoot the whole drama before going to the hospital for treatment.
But at this time, due to the delay in the timing of treatment, Huang Xingxiu was diagnosed with a series of diseases such as uteritis and spondylitis, and the uterus and fallopian tubes were infected.
Huang Xingxiu stopped work and entered the hospital for treatment, underwent 6 surgeries in 3 months, and gradually recovered under the slow conditioning, but she could no longer get pregnant.
There are also many examples of old actors who are as dedicated as Huang Xingxiu, and the old drama bone Chen Baoguo played a blind glass flower in the 1986 movie "Divine Whip".
The name Glass Flower also comes from because the blind eye of this character is glassy.
But at that time, the shooting conditions were not enough, and the stylist could only grind a white button thinly, and then Chen Baoguo stuffed it into his eyes.
The shooting time is not short, Chen Baoguo wears this button all day, the damage to the eyes is very large, often the acting skills that have been worn are inflamed and red.
But Chen Baoguo has been insisting on finishing the scene before rushing to the hospital for examination, almost blind and completely invisible.
However, after treatment, fortunately, there is no complete blindness, but some sequelae.
Later, many years later, her friend Ni Ping revealed in the interview program that in fact, Chen Baoguo's eye had long been invisible.
Later, after Huang Xingxiu was injured, she continued to shoot dramas, creating many classic roles, and at that time, she also became a well-known Hua Dan in Hong Kong, and was also known as the "first heroine of TVB".
However, because of the waist injury, Huang Xingxiu rarely filmed scenes in the later stages, until after filming the play "Southern Fist Cai Li Fo", Huang Xingxiu announced that he quit the show business circle and announced the news of his marriage to Chen Baixiang.
For a while, everyone was surprised by Huang Xingxiu's "flash marriage" operation, and later learned that Huang Xingxiu and Chen Baixiang had already talked about love in private and were secretly married in the Philippines.
Chen Baixiang sang well when he was young, and formed a band with his friends, Tan Yonglin also joined in, originally the development of the band was quite OK, but Chen Baixiang chose to propose a band to do business.
Tan Yonglin is also a very patriotic and excellent artist, who once wrote the exciting words of "after 97 years, there are occasional Chinese hearts and hands", he also has his own career in the mainland, and he is very identified with the identity of Chinese in his bones.
With a flexible mind, Chen Baixiang opened a garment factory, and his assets soon had tens of millions, and he had many luxury cars and mansions under his name.
However, the good times were not long, Chen Baixiang's company only lasted for 3 years and went bankrupt, and Chen Baixiang had to come back to the show business to make money.
Zhou Xingchi's famous classic work "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", there is Chen Baixiang's participation, although only as a supporting role, Chen Baixiang also played the same outstanding.
Later, Chen Baixiang revealed himself, "At that time, the remuneration of the starring and supporting roles was the same, so I would definitely choose to be more relaxed." ”
When Chen Baixiang saw Huang Xingxiu's first glance, his heart was violently shaken, and almost instantaneously, Chen Baixiang decided to "definitely chase her in hand."
Unlike Chen Baixiang's love at first sight, Huang Xingxiu was slowly moved by Chen Baixiang's thoughtfulness.
When they first met, the gap between the fame of the two was still very large, but Chen Baixiang had not given up and silently pursued Huang Xingxiu.
After Huang Xingxiu was hospitalized and unable to have children, Chen Baixiang did not choose to abandon Huang Xingxiu, he kissed Huang Xingxiu's forehead on the hospital bed, solemnly promised her: "I will be good to you for the rest of my life." ”
At that time, the traditional concept was to have children and pass on the incense, and Chen Baixiang's parents also had objections after learning that Huang Xingxiu could not have children.
However, Chen Baixiang was stunned to withstand the opposition of his parents, and the incomprehension of his friends around him, and he insisted on his commitment to Huang Xingxiu.
Chen Baixiang also spent 43 years to prove that the love between him and Huang Xingxiu, even if there are no children, but as long as the two people love each other enough, they can withstand the long years.
Although Chen Baixiang's appearance is not that handsome and handsome, his face has a good dramatic effect, which is very suitable for being a comedian.
He has partnered with Andy Lau in 4 movies, when Andy Lau was still a handsome cream boy, and he was only responsible for "playing handsome" in the play, and most of the laughs were borne by Chen Baixiang.
Therefore, Chen Baixiang was also called by the media at that time as "a comedy genius who did not lose to Stephen Chow".
However, Chen Baixiang is born to be a person who likes to toss, acting well, he picked up the music he gave up initially, and also released a single "I to Lat", which was also popular.
Chen Baixiang also founded the Oriental Charm Company with Jackie Chan, Mui Yanfang and other big coffee, the company began to develop well, and also successfully listed, the highest market value of 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
But this time Chen Baixiang's entrepreneurship still ended in failure, he became obsessed with DBo, lost tens of millions of net worth, and went bankrupt again.
But Chen Baixiang did not seem to be trapped by successive blows, he quickly walked out, continued to return to the show business circle to shoot, and won a high honor.
Chen Baixiang's good mentality, in addition to his own natural optimism and positive mentality, there is also his wife Huang Xingxiu's inseparability.
Since quitting the circle, Huang Xingxiu has been at ease at home to handle the family's size affairs, even if her husband failed to start a business, she did not say a word of serious words, but very supportive Chen Baixiang to do what she wanted to do.
Mutual understanding and mutual tolerance may be the reason why their marriage can go so far.
Although Chen Baixiang has not come to the mainland to develop, he has always loved the motherland in his heart, unlike his screen image, which is full of "oil-headed and slippery brain" comedians, in private, his three views are very positive.
He dared to reply to the host who asked the tricky question in the interview, "Are you Chinese?" "I also dare to express my patriotic position directly in public."
When most Hong Kong artists chose silence to protect themselves, Chen Baixiang directly expressed his support for the motherland with actions.
Even if he is insulted by many Hong Kong netizens, he does not care, and Huang Xingxiu does not care, she fully supports her husband's remarks and behavior.
Chen Baixiang's good friend, the well-known director Wang Jing, is also a firm defender of the motherland, when the actor he cooperates with has a problem with an unclear position, he will contact the cooperation for the first time, directly delete the contact information, and say, "Never agree, never come and go." ”
Even if such an approach affected her box office, Wang Jing did not retreat and still firmly defended the justice in her heart.
So far, Wang Jing's "Little Fish and Flowers" is still a classic memory in the minds of generations, and his adaptation of traditional martial arts dramas and the exchange of tragedies and joys before and after the plot have made many people feel uneasy.
On August 27, Chen Baixiang and his wife Huang Xingxiu held a grand banquet to build the 43rd anniversary of their marriage and invited many friends in the circle.
Chen Baixiang's younger brother lamented that he had always taken the conjugal feelings of the eldest brother Chen Baixiang as an example, 43 years of mutual affection, and no children, how many couples could do it?
Such a good artist and husband are really rare to see, and I also wish Chen Baixiang and Huang Xingxiu good health and enjoy their old age in peace.
