After the broadcast of "Brother With Thorns and Thorns", Chen Xiaochun turned red again.
In a competitive program, led by Chen Xiaochun, the five-person group of the Greater Bay Area composed of Xie Tianhua, Zhang Zhilin, Lin Xiaofeng and Liang Hanwen lay flat on a daily basis, making the audience addicted.
Others are singing, the Greater Bay Area five-person group is reminiscing about the past; others are working overtime training, the Greater Bay Area five-person group is masked to "steal water"; others are competing for songs, the Greater Bay Area five-person group has been lying flat and has begun to roll back...
Zhang Zhilin, who has always been known as the "Great Immortal", fought in the Buddhist department, and netizens can still see the strange. But for some post-80s and 90s generations, the former "red people" have never been this style of painting.
Gone with the Wind will also sing and dance rap
Many people know Chen Xiaochun from "Ancient Puzzle Boy", and a little younger may start from "Deer Ding". All in all, the stereotype of Chen Xiaochun is that he is an actor.
But in fact, Chen Xiaochun is a singer who sings and dances.
Chen Xiaochun was born in Guangdong in the 1960s, and before he finished junior high school, he followed his parents to Hong Kong. Poor family, Chen Xiaochun has done a lot of casual work, and he experienced the hardships of life prematurely at the age of ten.
In the 1980s, Hong Kong's entertainment industry developed rapidly, and Chen Xiaochun, who liked to dance, signed up for the TVB Dance Artist Training Class. Not because of any dreams, but simply because dancers are paid more.
In 1985, Chen Xiaochun entered the Leopard Boy Group and was recommended to Tan Yonglin, Mui Yanfang, Chen Baiqiang, Zhang Guorong and other concert accompaniment dancers. Looking back at the concert video of that era, there is Chen Xiaochun dancing behind the superstar.
After dancing for six or seven years, Chen Xiaochun attracted the attention of the owner of the Star Factory, Wish, because of a song "Flowers in the Water". Xu Wish invited Chen Xiaochun, Zhu Yongtang and Xie Tianhua to form a trio group "Wind and Fire Sea", officially starting the road of singing and dancing singers.
Therefore, in "Brother Who Cut Through Thorns", Chen Xiaochun and Xie Tianhua appeared on the stage again, and the reunion of the wind and fire attracted the memories of everyone.
Although the program group showed the audience Chen Xiaochun's lying flat persona, from the perspective of the completion of the stage recently broadcast, the five-person group in the Greater Bay Area is undoubtedly handsome. It is conceivable that beyond the lens we see, it is the artists of that era who are serious and hardworking to the profession.
The red man was also unknown
Memories belong to memories, in fact, the wind and fire did not become popular in that year. In the 1990s, the stars of the Hong Kong music scene were brilliant, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Faye Wong... You can't count them. Although there is no shortage of commercial performances in the sea of wind and fire, the popularity has never gone up. There is no future in the combination, and if you want to survive, you have to develop film and television songs.
Chen Xiaochun's first official appearance was Late 9 Dynasties 5 directed by Chen Desen, and he was co-partnered with Chen Hao, the later expert. The film is very large-scale, telling the story of the young people in Hong Kong in the early 1990s who were full of confusion and wantonly squandered their youth.
Chen Xiaochun's many years of experience at the bottom of society has allowed him to play the role of Ah Bao in the film very well. With this role, Chen Xiaochun won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards.
To some extent, this film also inspired the later "Taipei Late Nine Dynasties and Five Dynasties" and "Waiting Alone".
Although it won the award, "Late Nine Dynasties and Five" is an experimental small-budget film after all, with a bit of a "stain" of adult films. In the following years, Chen Xiaochun could only take some supporting roles to accumulate experience.
Regardless of the theme and role, Chen Xiaochun plays everything and has its own characteristics. Yu Lo, the salty and wet male girlfriend in "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", The lesbian who likes to spoil in "Guy Forty", the ruthless bodyguard Dragon Five in "God of Gamblers 3" ...
Those characters are the exclusive memories of a generation
1996 was chen Xiaochun's explosive year, and the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series was broadcast, and three movies were released in a row. The righteousness in the film made the audience boil, and even affected the values of a generation of teenagers. Unlike girls who like Causeway Bay boss Chen Haonan, most of the boys prefer the pheasant played by Chen Xiaochun.
Hit the hardest knife, soak the most beautiful girl. Hong Xing helped the most righteous pheasant and pushed Chen Xiaochun to the cusp of the storm. Film critics said that "Ancient Puzzle Boy" brought bad teenagers, and the reporter took Chen Xiaochun's early experience and equated pheasant with Chen Xiaochun. At that time, Chen Xiaochun was not as Buddhist as he is now, and there were many conflicts with the media under his temper. The media grabbed the handle and sneered at him as Gu Qiuzai himself.
In fact, although the original work of "Ancient Puzzle Boy" tells the story of the Hong Kong gangsters, the author wants to convey brotherly friendship, and when he sees it, he will find that it is a work with warning meaning, warning people not to go astray and fail Shaohua.
The popularity of the film has had an impact on the starring actors, including Chen Xiaochun - their image has been stereotyped. After that, Chen Xiaochun failed to successfully turn over as the protagonist, and he shined in the supporting role position, and there were romance films, horror films, and action movies, and the roles were all remarkable, but none of them could fire the pheasant.
After that, Chen Xiaochun turned to the TV screen and brought Wei Xiaobao from "Deer Ding".
Originally, Chen Xiaochun played Wei Xiaobao, and most of the voices in the outside world did not agree. First, his image of Gu Qiuzai is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and second, the people who played Wei Xiaobao at that time were handsome men such as Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi, and Chen Xiaochun's appearance was really not in line with the mainstream aesthetic.
But no one expected that Chen Xiaochun's version of Wei Xiaobao had become a classic of a generation. His performance has always been natural and vivid, blending Wei Xiaobao's sleek chicken thief with the mountain chicken's insistence on jianghu righteousness. From time to time, the inner small theater that lets go of itself is full of laughter.
For many post-80s and 90s generations, Chen Xiaochun's Wei Xiaobao is full of childhood memories.
After "Deer Ding", Chen Xiaochun walked on two legs in TV and movies, and successively brought the selfish doctor in "Hot Hand Rejuvenation", the somewhat mean manager Xia Li in "The Next Stop Tianhou", and the demented and simple cousin in "Ghost Horse Rhapsody"... There are many characters, each of which has flesh and blood, but by this time the Hong Kong film industry has gradually declined.
"The Next Stop Tianhou"
Fortunately, while acting, Chen Xiaochun's singing career finally ushered in a turnaround, and in 1999, he won the Hong Kong Award for the year with the song "God Save Me" and "No Such Life". In 2003, Chen Xiaochun's Mandarin album "Count You Cruel" was sung in the streets of the mainland. During that time, you casually walked into a store, and there was definitely a song "Count You Cruel" on the song list in the store.
With the image of a bitter love man created by Bao Xiaobai and Bao Xiaosong for Chen Xiaochun, Chen Xiaochun's singer career ushered in a climax. Presumably, every lost love after 8090 has heard the song "Exclusive Memory" with tears.
In middle age, Chen Xiaochun's identity changed from being a popular person to Ying Cai'er's husband and Jeasper's father. Less singing, still playing.
Two years ago, Chen Xiaochun played the role of a gangster again, but whether it was Zhuo Ziqiang in "Tree Trick" or Ah Chun in "Black and White Labyrinth", he lost the anger of the pheasant brother who cut your whole family every minute, and had more of the calm of the hero's twilight.
Now that Chen Xiaochun has returned to the stage again, singing and dancing can no longer see the expressionless face of the original face, and after half a life, he is finally happy and happy.
