Recently, Deng Zifeng posted photos of him and friends gathering privately on social platforms, including "Prince" Zheng Zhongji, "Funny Emperor" Zhang Daming and "Ghost Talent Screenwriter" Gu Dezhao.
These four Hong Kong stars can sit together intimately because they have a tacit cooperation in "Dragon Wai 2003" 19 years ago.
However, compared with that year, their appearance has changed significantly, and Deng Zifeng's body shape is still as strong as before, but his face has a little more wrinkles and spots.
Zhang Daming is already slender, and having experienced cancer, he is more like a weak tree that has been hit by a storm.
The biggest change is Zheng Zhongji and Gu Dezhao, when they were young, they were originally thin and fat, but now the two people's body shapes have changed, Zheng Zhongji's facial contours have become rounded, and Gu Dezhao is as thin as the two, although he also smiled, but it was still difficult to hide his tired state.
Some people say that "it is difficult to buy old age to be thin", but if people are too thin after aging, it is easy to look old, Gu Dezhao's two sideburns and beard have all turned white, he and Zheng Zhongji are actually only 7 years old, but his appearance seems to be 20 years older than Zheng Zhongji.
Many fans can't help but worry about him when they see Gu Dezhao's state, but Gu Dezhao has also responded to the weight loss, he is specifically for the nutritionist proposed to lose weight, not sick.
Gu Dezhao, the "hexagonal warrior", has been using his strength to transmit warm energy to everyone, which makes him reluctant to tell too much about his bitter experience, just as he used to wear many hats for the cause he loved.
In "Long Weiwei 2003", whether it is Zheng Zhongji's Long Wei, Zhang Daming's Golden Boat and Deng Zifeng's Deng Sir, their roles are all more than Gu Dezhao, but in addition to playing a small supporting role in the film, Gu Dezhao is also the director, screenwriter and producer of the film.
The laughter of this film continues, and there are many memes that can still feel the funny deep in the bone marrow when you watch it now, such as the scent of strawberry, mercy for marrying a black prince, and grinding in a hot spring.
However, the hilarious comedy "Long Weiwei 2003" is not Gu Dezhao's famous work.
Gu Dezhao became famous in the entire industry with "Family Happy Events", only 27 years old, and he had ideas, enthusiasm and energy at that time.
Gu Dezhao is not only the screenwriter of this drama, but also makes a cameo appearance in the film.
The emotional line between Maggie Cheung's He Liyu and Stephen Chow's Chang Huan is being taken care of by Gu Dezhao, who uses several funny and sad times to reflect the different moods of men and women in love.
He Liyu lives in the plot of the movie all day, and Chang Huan constantly cooperates with He Liyu to act in Hollywood blockbusters, but he was initially not out of love, but for possession.
Maggie Cheung and Stephen Chow played cos, which made Wu Junru and Leslie Cheung next door envious, Wu Junru proposed to Gu Dezhao that he wanted to pinch his beard, and Leslie Cheung also wanted Gu Dezhao to help him and Mao Shunjun play crazy.
Gu Dezhao's works enrich the layers of characters through the absurdity of the plot, and at the same time, he skillfully outlines the sense of joy with various details, and he transitions various comedy bridges to the extreme madness.
The screenwriter is the soul of a film, he and the director and actors need to have a tacit understanding, once the director and actors do not believe in the screenwriter's ideas, the work will be greatly reduced.
Stephen Chow once questioned the fledgling Gu Dezhao, which hit Gu Dezhao very hard, and later it was Gu Dezhao's teacher Gao Zhisen who constantly encouraged him to let Gu Dezhao write the wonderful plot of "Family Happy Events".
If people want to succeed, they must learn to trust others, after all, a person's strength is limited, and Gao Zhisen's trust in Gu Dezhao has made "Happy Events in the Family" and "When Peach is Ripe".
Gao Zhisen is the first important noble person in Gu Dezhao's life, Gao Zhisen's father is a seaman, when he wanted to see his father when he was a child, his father was at sea, and he saw that his mother was supporting this family by the back.
Therefore, Gao Zhisen has been seeking a sense of family happiness in his works, such as the changing attitude of the three brothers to love in "Family Happy Events".
Gu Dezhao's ancestral home is in Shandong, and their family concept is more important, and when eating, they must wait until everyone is together before they can eat.
The love of his father, mother, and sister surrounded him, and Gu Dezhao grew up in an atmosphere of love, and even his sister helped him plan his academic career at first.
Gao Zhisen and Gu Dezhao were able to hit it off when they first met, completely because they are both people who value family, but their personality backgrounds are different.
Because Gao Zhisen lacked the security given by his father when he was young, this led him to not be too tolerant of the people around him, and when he found out that Gu Dezhao cooperated with Stephen Chow in "Tang Bohu Points Autumn Fragrance" without his consent, he expelled Gu Dezhao from the division without hesitation.
After the cooperation between Gu Dezhao and Gao Zhisen fell through, when he cooperated with Stephen Chow again, he knew how to protect himself.
Gu Dezhao had long heard that Stephen Chow had a bad temper on the set, so he proposed to Stephen Chow that it was okay to let him film, but he couldn't be angry with him.
Stephen Chow also couldn't help it on the set, but he could only swallow his anger silently because of the promise he had made to Gu Dezhao before.
Their partner's "Tang Bohu Points Autumn Fragrance" received praise, although Gong Li's Qiu Xiang was repeatedly questioned, but Gu Dezhao's Wen Zhuangyuan became a CP between piercing intestines and Hua An.
The scene of their sympathy shows Gu Dezhao's new interpretation of classical themes, which has affected the language expression of many people.
After that, many works tried to imitate this film, but Gu Dezhao's tricks and joy were not learned by everyone.
Gu Dezhao is not only good at finding inspiration from ancient poetry, he also borrows ideas from comics.
In Douban's high-scoring movie "The King of Destruction", Gu Dezhao once integrated the plots of the comics "Human Murder Weapon" and "Devil Man" into the film, making this comedy about the counterattack of waste wood more of the perverse style of comics, and its rhythm is smoother and constantly stimulates people's senses.
In the most prosperous era of Hong Kong films, Stephen Chow and Gu Dezhao can be called "golden partners", Stephen Chow not only gave Gu Dezhao the opportunity to show his screenwriting talent, but also discovered Gu Dezhao's acting talent.
Gu Dezhao played Tang Niu in "God of Food", Gu Dezhao performed the sense of contrast on Tang Niu, initially he gave people a silly aura and a murderous aura after "transformation", which made the audience can't help but be on this role.
Gu Dezhao is an all-rounder, but he is not as good as Stephen Chow as a director, one is that he is more modest to people, which makes him more compromising than the strict Stephen Chow when he is a director.
For example, Gu Dezhao was the director and screenwriter in "Glass Bottle" starring Jackie Chan, and the script he wrote was originally very romantic, but because Jackie Chan himself is not a delicate and sensitive person, he is better at loving while fighting.
Therefore, the film still tailors a martial arts scene for Jackie Chan, which is paired with the pure Shu Qi to present a full sense of discord.
In addition, being a director must also have enough commercial sense, Wang Jing is a leader in this regard, he is bold and careful, and he has penetrated the audience's psychology.
Wang Jing invested 14 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot "Naked Lamb", and Qiu Shuzhen's costume cost 200,000 yuan, which is definitely a big production in the same period of film.
In fact, Gu Dezhao is not unable to write about the fragrance of women, his creation of "When Peach is Ripe" is no worse than "Naked Lamb", Li Lizhen and Qiu Shuzhen, her innocence is more affinity, and Qiu Shuzhen's beauty is cold that rejects people thousands of miles away.
Jane's breath is elegant and fresh, she has fluffy hair, soft body and glowing eyes, she likes to look at men clearly and trustingly, which makes the man first intoxicated in ecstasy, and when the excitement in his heart subsides, the painful memories of his previous life completely dissolve in the fire like snowflakes.
The women in Gu Dezhao's works can not only arouse men's desires, they will also make men's hearts give birth to pity, that beauty is as delicate as a peach, and it is still unfinished after appreciation, and the taste is worth cherishing for a lifetime.
Gu Dezhao's career has developed day by day and mature, and it is said that a person's character should not only be judged by his achievements, but also by how he treats his former mentor.
Gu Dezhao participated in the program hosted by teacher Gao Zhisen in 2012, the two talked about the past, Gu Dezhao was grateful to Gao Zhisen for promoting him all the way, Gao Zhisen still remembered that Gu Dezhao was not afraid of him who reminded him to eat every day, and the two men swept away the past grievances and reunited in the middle of talking and laughing.
But Hong Kong's films have entered a period of decline, no matter who can escape the arrangement of the times, Gu Dezhao's self-written and directed "Traveling Superman" is a portrayal of his wishes.
Gu Dezhao, like Hong Kong movies, fell into a trough of fate.
In 2006, Gu Dezhao's mother committed suicide by jumping off a building because she could not bear the torment of kidney disease.
Mom has always been most concerned about Gu Dezhao's career, and whenever Gu Dezhao's new movie is released, her mother will go to read film reviews, and once there are bad comments, her mother will be more anxious than Gu Dezhao.
Gu Dezhao has always wanted to make excellent comedy, in order to make the audience laugh, but also to make his mother laugh, his mother is the "uncrowned king" in his heart, and his mother's death gave Gu Dezhao an unprecedented blow.
Doom picks the sad person, Gu Dezhao's nephew missed his grandmother too much, and also committed suicide by jumping off the same position the next year, and the successive impermanent people made Gu Dezhao begin to doubt life, and it took him several years to come out of the shadow of pain.
As a screenwriter, Gu Dezhao always felt that it was wrong not to want to, because a screenwriter without ideas is a failure, but in life, on the contrary, Gu Dezhao realized that those who do not want are blessed.
Now, Gu Dezhao has a new identity in "Popcorn Week" - the host, no matter which guest visits, he can accurately find the point that the other party cares about most.
He praised Wu Junru for bringing new strength to Hong Kong with newcomers to make movies, saying to Koo Juji: "A singer who sings well is usually a good actor, and he said to Cheng Xinyi: "I am so happy that you can achieve today, because I hugged you shortly after you were born." “
Gu Dezhao's encouragement to everyone is simple and warm, because his blessings come from the heart, and such an artist who works seriously and treats others with love should indeed explode again.
Do you remember Gu Dezhao?
