On July 24, some netizens posted a group of Hong Kong stars' dinner photos.
Coinciding with Xie Tianhua's birthday, Wu Qihua, Zhang Yaoyang and other friends gathered in Hainan.
A group of people not only ordered a luxurious seafood dinner,
There is also Moutai wine on the table, and the decoration of the restaurant is extremely upscale.
After the dinner, several people were still unsatisfied,
Continue to take a yacht to the sea, life is not comfortable.
Nowadays, the Hong Kong film and television industry is sluggish, and many Hong Kong stars have developed in the mainland.
People like Zhang Yaoyang and Xie Tianhua are no exception.
The two once collaborated on the movie "Ancient Puzzle Boy", which swept all over Southeast Asia.
Also popular are Zheng Yijian and Chen Xiaochun.
And Zhang Yaoyang is the villain who makes people hate tooth itch.
More than twenty years have passed, Xie Tianhua still looks young,
Zhang Yaoyang, on the other hand, had all white hair and looked like an elder.
Brother Crow, who was once domineering, what has he experienced over the years?
Like many Hong Kong artists,
Zhang Yaoyang was born into poverty, and there were nine people in the family.
There are many brothers and sisters, and parents are busy day and night for their livelihood.
Sometimes there is no time to take care of children at all.
When he was nine years old, Zhang Yaoyang had a car accident.
It hit his head and made him forget a lot of things.
After recovering, he became taciturn,
Often a person sits on the hillside and looks into the distance,
I feel that I am out of place with bustling Hong Kong,
The melancholy temperament is very different from the future underworld bosses.
Zhang Yaoyang when he was a student did not love to learn, and his grades were not good.
His school has a lot of problem students,
Dragons and snakes are mixed, equivalent to a small society.
Fortunately, Zhang Yaoyang grew a big man, stronger than the average classmate,
Therefore, no one dared to bully him, but he never bullied the weak,
Always alone.
After graduating from middle school, Zhang Yaoyang, 18 years old, entered the society.
He was lucky, he had a good skin bag,
Successfully signed by the modeling agency, but also has a good income.
At that time, many sports brands came to him to shoot advertisements,
In order to better present the product, Zhang Yaoyang began to work out,
Developed a strong muscle, handsome face,
His inverted triangle figure makes him popular with more advertisers.
At this time, Zhang Yaoyang has obtained a good income,
Improved the life of his family, although not rich, but finally got rid of poverty.
However, the model is a bowl of youth rice, sooner or later will be eliminated by the market,
And the 1980s were the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.
Many movie stars have gone from being a superstar overnight.
In order to make more money, Zhang Yaoyang took his own information to the interview,
I just happened to run into director Lin Lingdong, who was preparing to shoot the Storm Trilogy.
Lin Lingdong is one of the ace directors of New Art City,
His first work became the fourth highest grossing film in Hong Kong film history.
Almost every work is a double harvest at the box office.
At this time, Lin Lingdong was ambitiously preparing to shoot "Dragon and Tiger Storm",
Intend to create their own violent realistic jianghu film,
He invited the most popular male protagonist, Zhou Runfa.
At that time, Fa Ge had just exploded with "The True Colors of Heroes",
He is almost a box office guarantee, and at the same time the top of the film's remuneration.
At that time, the supporting role also included the well-known director and actor Li Xiuxian,
After putting together these two trump cards, the budget was not enough.
In desperation, Lin Lingdong can only use a large number of new people,
At this time, Zhang Yaoyang's resume entered his field of vision.
As a model, Zhang Yaoyang is naturally very photogenic,
And his greatest potential is both good and evil,
Laughing is a warm big boy,
But when he wasn't smiling, his eyes were cold and chilling.
Lin Lingdong selected Zhang Yaoyang, who had no experience,
Let him play a villain policeman in the film,
There are also many rival plays with Zhou Runfa.
Although he is a newcomer, when Zhang Yaoyang faced Fa Ge,
The aura is not lost at all, impressive,
He also showed his villain potential with this film.
Lin Lingdong is very satisfied with Zhang Yaoyang's performance,
Turned him into his own royal actor.
Later, in "School Storm" and "Prison Storm",
Zhang Yaoyang has a good performance, and they are all villains.
Lin Lingdong's storm trilogy has maintained its previous level,
Once again received unanimous praise, Zhang Yaoyang was also seen,
Just debuted, he became the last newcomer to the attention.
And Zhang Yaoyang also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination for "Prison Storm",
Making him even more famous, Lin Lingdong signed him to the brand of New Art City.
In the years of New Art City, Zhang Yaoyang won a lot of film contracts,
He has worked with Zhang Guorong, Zeng Zhiwei, Zhou Xingchi,
The director has cooperated with Du Qifeng, Chen Jiashang, Xu Ke,
Basically, Hong Kong's top lineup was all involved.
But in these movies, Zhang Yaoyang is still mostly a villain,
And the scenes are not much, and they do not impress the audience.
The only thing to remember is that he was the villain.
Sometimes Zhang Yaoyang will be scolded when walking on the street,
Some people even threw stones at his house,
It made him cry and laugh, but it was very annoying.
So Zhang Yaoyang moved out of the house,
Start living alone, and at the same time he is eager to transform,
I want to say goodbye to the days of being scolded as a villain by others.
At that time, Zhang Yaoyang went everywhere to interview for new roles,
Want to transform through different types of movies.
At that time, there was just a literary film "White Rose" that was selecting the male protagonist.
And the heroine has set up a double golden shadow after Maggie Cheung.
At first, the film did not consider Zhang Yaoyang,
Because his villain's image is too deep-rooted, afraid that the audience will not buy it.
However, literary and art films generally do not sell well, so they use this as a selling point.
Zhang Yaoyang acted in literary and art films, and fell in love with Maggie Cheung,
The combination itself is very topical.
So Zhang Yaoyang became the male protagonist of "White Rose",
Starred in the only literary romance film in his acting career.
This movie is not Zhang Yaoyang's real transformation work,
Because the male protagonist is still a gangster,
It is only because of the encounter with love that the prodigal son turns back.
However, he still can't get rid of the entanglement of the underworld.
In the end, he still ended up with a fate of being cut off, and he failed to become a family member with his girlfriend.
This movie did not bring too much dividend to Zhang Yaoyang,
Even with Maggie Cheung's blessing, he could not become a big male protagonist.
In order to live, he had to star in the jianghu film again, playing the villain.
Next, he encountered the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series, which is famous in the history of Hong Kong films.
It is said that the film was only filmed for seven days,
And a lot of the actors haven't made a movie before.
And yet the movie is a mess.
From Hong Kong to the mainland to Southeast Asia,
Zheng Yijian and Chen Xiaochun became the most popular movie stars.
Especially Chen Haonan, played by Zheng Yijian, his medium-long hair has become popular,
Many boys have to walk in a row to get out of the momentum of the ancient puzzle boys.
However, how popular "Ancient Puzzle Boy" is, how hateful Zhang Yaoyang is,
The crow brother he played in the movie is the biggest villain,
Not only the woman who flirted with the big brother, but also often lifted the table,
Even angrily smashing the statue of Guan Gong, no one pays attention to it.
Guan Gong is a very valued deity in Guangdong,
Brothers and sisters must swear in front of Guan Gong,
Always sacred and inviolable, Zhang Yaoyang refused at first, afraid of retribution.
The director grinds hard bubbles softly and hard, and also gives him 66,000 red envelopes to eliminate disasters.
Coupled with the pressure of the contract, he reluctantly shot this shot.
Basically, there is Zhang Yaoyang in the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series,
And they are all the biggest villains, and the ending is all killed.
After "Ancient Puzzle Boy", Zhang Yaoyang could no longer get rid of the label of villain,
There are even children who chase after him and want to mix with him.
Zhang Yaoyang always helplessly warned them to study well.
"Ancient Puzzle Boy" has indeed brought Zhang Yaoyang greater popularity,
He has since become the first choice for villains in jianghu films and police films.
And several high-quality films were made.
In 2000, he won the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Supporting Actor for the film "Gunfire".
In 2001, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor again for "The Rush".
At this time, it can be regarded as the peak of Zhang Yaoyang's career,
However, two thousand years later, Hong Kong cinema began to decline.
The quality and quantity of films have dropped sharply, but the mainland film and television industry has begun to rise.
At the same time, Zhang Yaoyang has been deeply tormented in his heart,
He was originally introverted, but for many years he has been playing a grumpy gangster,
The incident of angrily smashing Guan Gong's statue made him grumble.
In order to make up for his own mistakes, Zhang Yaoyang spent a lot of money to reshape the golden body of Guan Gong.
I barely felt much calmer inside.
After 2005, Zhang Yaoyang shifted the focus of his career to the mainland.
Although it is still not the protagonist, the film and television industry in the mainland is well treated and has many opportunities.
He could feed himself and live a prosperous life.
However, in 2008, Zhang Yaoyang was injured while filming,
Causing the intervertebral disc to detach, the lumbar muscle strain is serious,
For a time, he could not move, and could only rest in bed.
During that time, the pain was often accompanied by Zhang Yaoyang,
It made him want to die, and even wanted to commit suicide,
All the work also stopped, almost quitting the entertainment industry.
But this recuperative life also allowed Zhang Yaoyang to find the lifestyle he wanted.
As he got better, he bought a piece of land on the outskirts of Hong Kong.
Here the view is wide, quiet and leisurely,
Zhang Yaoyang turned it into a small farm far from the city.
At this time, Zhang Yaoyang almost no longer picked up the film,
Fortunately, he made a lot of investments in his early years.
Nowadays, they all have good income, and they can enjoy a good life even if they do not make films.
After Zhang Yaoyang faded out of the entertainment circle, he was gradually forgotten,
The protagonists of the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series have also married and had children,
No longer the domineering spirit of the street shopping.
And Zhang Yaoyang once again attracted attention because of drug abuse,
In 2014, he was arrested by the police in Beijing.
Sentenced to twenty days of detention for smoking marijuana.
At that time, Zhang Yaoyang had retired from the circle for many years and was forgotten by many people.
And his screen image is dominated by gangster villains,
The news of his imprisonment came as no surprise.
And Zhang Yaoyang's most surprising thing is his bisexual relationship.
Zhang Yaoyang was in love with Li Lirui when he first debuted,
The other party is also a supporting actress in the movie "School Storm",
And won best supporting actress for this film.
But Li Lirui is a well-behaved girl from a good family,
After she won the award, she did not linger on the entertainment industry,
Instead, he chose to study abroad and returned to Hong Kong to continue his development after completing his studies.
Zhang Yaoyang and Li Lirui also fell in love after many years after filming,
And the two are still enemies in the movie,
One is a brutal villain and the other is a bullied schoolgirl.
Because "School Storm" was very popular at the beginning,
When Zhang Yaoyang and Li Lirui came together, they also attracted a lot of attention.
But Li Lirui also interacted with Wen Zhaolun before Zhang Yaoyang.
Although Wen Zhaolun is very popular, his reputation is extremely poor.
Zhang Yaoyang and Wen Zhaolun are constantly being compared,
Perhaps it was under such pressure that the two chose to break up.
After this relationship, Zhang Yaoyang was empty for a long time,
Until I met Taiwanese supermodel Ai Yongling.
Zhang Yaoyang, who was originally a model, and Ai Yongling stood together very right,
The two of them casually stopped at the magazine blockbuster.
Zhang Yaoyang originally held the idea of marriage to communicate,
Treat your girlfriend with every need and be very considerate.
However, after three years of dating, Ai Yongling had no intention of getting married.
Zhang Yaoyang was very sad and cut off the love thread again.
After two lost love, Zhang Yaoyang no longer has a stable girlfriend,
However, he has been on the news many times because of his many closeness with same-sex friends.
Originally, Zhang Yaoyang and Cai Zijie, a member of the Grasshopper Group, were often photographed,
The two often go to the bar to have fun together, and even hook up on the street.
The level of intimacy has exceeded the distance of friends.
Hong Kong media reporters have always been bold and use spicy words,
Let Zhang Yaoyang and Cai Zijie be very distressed,
They then moved their stronghold to Zhang Yaoyang's mansion.
Originally, this independent villa belonged to zhang Ziqiang, a former gangster of the century,
Later, Zhang Yaoyang bought it and made a special cover,
But the neighbors can still hear the songs inside day and night.
And Zhang Yaoyang was also photographed holding hands with male friends and going out,
And ride a bike together, walk together,
And this close friend is not Cai Zijie.
Just when the reporter labeled Zhang Yaoyang as bisexual,
He took the initiative to respond, indicating that he had a girlfriend,
And 25 years younger than himself, he interacted for the purpose of marriage.
But Zhang Yaoyang's villain's screen image, drug scandal,
There is also the homosexual storm, which has greatly damaged his image,
Although he has stopped filming, he is still criticized by the media.
Once Zhang Yaoyang in order to change the image, has actively done charity,
And personally went to poor areas to send found gold.
It's just that the action of personally sending money is a bit too deliberate,
Once again, it was ridiculed by netizens as showing traces too obvious.
Over the years, Zhang Yaoyang's figure has remained very good,
The inverted triangle figure did not deviate from the shape, and was stronger than when he was younger.
A few years ago he was photographed appearing at a dinner party.
Holding a graceful lady and singing, the movements are intimate.
It can be seen that although Zhang Yaoyang has to be completely white,
But still maintain the charm of a middle-aged man.
In recent years, Zhang Yaoyang has hardly produced any works.
He's like a lot of Hong Kong entertainers.
Borrowing the fame of the past to find gold in the mainland,
Appears in various micro-business, real estate, beauty salon activities.
Although it does not look decent, the income is indeed not cheap,
Zhang Yaoyang's life is indeed very moist.
Today, Zhang Yaoyang, who is 58 years old, can no longer see the fierceness in the movie of that year.
The whole person seems much softer.
Once at the best time of Hong Kong movies, Zhang Yaoyang became a star of attention,
However, it is also because of Hong Kong movies that he has become a semi-permanent villain.
Make all scandals seem logical.
In fact, what kind of person Zhang Yaoyang is, who knows?
