Does anyone remember the fat cat Zheng Zeshi?

The last time the news about him was to donate 500,000 yuan to Wuhan.

The forgotten movie emperor fat cat and Hong Kong film love yi jianghu and Zhou Runfa eat box lunch together That hong kong film golden age, fat cat can blow up the sky and hong Kong film together to pounce on the street and then counterattack the glorious years of the glorious years to send charcoal Andy Lau and the deceased Hong Kong film love yijianghu

The last time, it was he who was photographed by the media with his fat body and gray hair, as well as his three disappearing jaws. It was rumored that he was plagued by diabetes and lost 30 pounds, so thin that he was out of phase, but his wife was seriously ill and needed money, and 69-year-old Zheng Zeshi continued to fight.

Someone worked hard for him, in fact, there is no need, the hardest days have already survived.

In the golden age of Hong Kong films, he rose to the film industry with the fat cat role of the "mentally handicapped youth" who spoke with trembling shoulders and often spoke incoherently, took the film emperor, and created his own company, only to meet the Decline of Hong Kong films from prosperity to decline, with a debt of 80 million, only to move into public housing with his family, that is, the legendary slum, live for ten years, and pay off debts.

When people were frustrated, there were no friends, and the brothers who called him brothers and brothers disappeared one by one, and only Andy Lau, who was not too familiar with him before, asked him to be the producer of his new film "Brothers", the real snow charcoal.

In the movie "Chasing the Dragon" directed by Wang Jing, zheng Zeshi's "lard boy" blocked a shot for Andy Lau's "Luo Ge", and the remaining breath said: "Luo Ge, leave a place for me, and I will give it back to you in the next life." This sentence was actually said by Zheng Zeshi to Andy Lau.

But in "Ancient Puzzle Boy", Chen Haonan said: Being a brother, there is this life, there is no afterlife. The same is true for Hong Kong films.

Zheng Zeshi made a film and lost his fortune in 1993, which was the year when Hong Kong films turned from prosperity to decline, before the unlimited scenery of Oriental Hollywood, the box office fell to the bottom overnight, and has never risen again. Zheng Zeshi can repay his debts, relying not only on Andy Lau, but also on the vast mainland market.

After that, Hong Kong films became more and more vigorous, and when the epidemic struck this year, it was already May, and there was only one film in Hong Kong, and Tian Qiwen, president of the Hong Kong Film Workers Association, said at a recent press conference: "I have been in film for 41 years, and when SARS was in 2003, I was not so afraid." ”

Director Zheng Baorui admitted in the "Guide also has a way" program of the Macao Radio and Television Co., Ltd.: "Hong Kong films are now more uncomfortable than death. ”

However, the vicissitudes and haggard Hong Kong films like the aging Zheng Zeshi were once chivalrous rivers and lakes full of blood, and they were also the rivers and lakes in the hearts of countless movie fans.

It's just that the peak era has passed, the sons and daughters of the story have gone in different directions, the once huge film industry is uncertain, and the fate of Hong Kong films seems to be dyed with the white hair of a fat cat like frost, and the future is between light and dark.

The only constant is the love and righteousness of Zheng Zeshi and his Hong Kong brothers.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the day when he and Zhou Runfa ate a box lunch together</h1>

Like Hong Kong stars such as Andy Lau, Zheng Zeshi is also from a bitter background.

In 1951, Zheng Zeshi was born in Shantou, Guangdong Province, a family of 6 children, and later moved to Hong Kong to make a living. When he was a child, his parents went out to work, and as the eldest son in the family, at the age of ten, he not only had to take care of his younger siblings, cook for the whole family, but also help make plastic flowers to subsidize the family.

At the age of 15, he was admitted to secondary school, and he only studied for one year, and his father's salary could only allow him and his brother to study, and he gave the opportunity to his younger brother to apprentice himself in a jewelry store. One study is five years.

A teenager in Lamma Island was a little better luck than Zheng Zeshi, who studied in middle school for three years, and then his father became ill and fell ill, and his family could no longer afford to provide him with schooling, so he could only step into society and find a job. This teenager is Zhou Runfa.

A teenager in the Diamond Hill wooden house area of Kowloon still got a grade of 1B3D2E (Chinese Reader A) in the Secondary 5 Examination even if he helped his family sell porridge every day. The teenager's name was Andy Lau.

The fate of several teenagers is linked by the gradual rise of Local Film and Television in the 1970s, and then their fates will be the same and intertwined.

But compared with Zhou Runfa, who did not like acting very much when he was a teenager, and Andy Lau, who worked hard to study drama in middle school but felt that his appearance was not proud, Zheng Zeshi was the person who made great ambitions in that teenager.

When I was a child, I wrote essays, and the other children wrote that I wanted to be a doctor, a policeman, or a teacher when I grew up, and only he wrote—I wanted to be a star, and the teacher's comment on him was "covetousness and vanity."

In 1972, the 21-year-old Zheng Zeshi, who was "greedy for vanity", ignored his family's opposition and resolutely ran to sign up for the first actor training class held by Longbow Pictures.

There is a louder name behind Longbow Pictures - Zhang Che.

Zhang Che was born in Hangzhou, grew up in Shanghai, but has the heroic spirit of a northern boy, he made "One-Armed Knife" for Shaw, full of vigor, becoming the first Hong Kong film to win a million box office, and also the pioneering work of hong Kong film new martial arts. Actors Wang Yu, Dillon, and Jiang David were all popular with him.

He said a philosophical sentence to Zheng Zeshi, "If you think you are a seed, you have to believe that there will always be a day of germination, but you have to keep irrigating it." ”

Zheng Zeshi, who had only read for one year in middle school, still understood.

In 1976, TVB held a performance competition, Zheng Zeshi won the first phase of the competition as soon as he participated, and fate finally gave this young man who had insisted on his dream for 4 years a slightly drunken dream. The night of Tseung Kwan O is beautiful, countless young people are running to this dream-building place, and one of the fat boys is smiling, as if he has found his own era.

When he was in a jewelry store, he earned 2,000 yuan a month, but TVB's salary was less than a quarter. The father objected, but the mother supported, "You go and try it, you are so young, you can't count it but a wish." ”

Zheng Zeshi decided to give himself a year's time, and he was not willing to waste a minute on the set. When others rested, he took the script and ran to the side to ponder.

TVB saw that he was attentive, fat and very pleasing, so it sent him to a show "Bang Bang Bang" as a long-term guest, in fact, to be funny.

However, for Zheng Zeshi, it was a major turning point in his life. Because the host of the program will let all of China remember his name - Zhou Runfa after 3 years.

At that time, Zheng Zeshi was just a nobody, and Zhou Runfa, who had acted in "Family Change" with Wang Mingquan, was already a TVB boss.

But every time Zhou Runfa came to eat at noon, he said to Zheng Zeshi: "Fat man, let's eat together!" "Zheng Zeshi's food is very large, he will accompany the big food to eat, if the meal is more than 10 yuan, the one who pays the bill must be Zhou Runfa."

In 1980, as soon as "Shanghai Beach" starring Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi was broadcast, it immediately swept the country, and everyone remembered Xu Wenqiang, who wore a top hat and a fluttering coat. But he still brings everyone to discuss the movie, the script, the acting.

Later, in an interview, Zheng Zeshi said, "At that time, I was still single, and Fa Ge was a good brother of mine, and when I met every day, I would naturally have a long-term relationship." Looking back now, my liking for him seems to be more than just friendship, but a kind of love. ”

In 1983, Zhou Runfa and Yu An'an married and asked Zheng Zeshi to be a best man, and the other two groomsmen, one will become Zheng Zeshi's best partner later, and the other will lend the most critical help when Zheng Zeshi is in distress - Lu Liangwei and Andy Lau.

There is a saying in Hong Kong, China, that "even Zhang Guorong has to wait 10 years." However, Zheng Zeshi starred in the first TVB series "Four-Eyed Detective" in the second year of his official entry, and participated in the first film "Grey Spirit" in 1980, and was still a producer and director.

In the 1980s, Zheng Zeshi's era arrived.

Hong Kong films have entered a period of great development, and the clown comedy star has become just needed, and Zheng Zeshi's fat and thick appearance is in line with the demand.

At the fattest time, Zheng Zeshi had 263 pounds, and once he got into a taxi, the whole car had to be shaken twice, a living comedy bridge.

In the years that followed, he acted in dozens of comedies, but what really brought his acting career into the golden age was not comedy.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > that golden age of Hong Kong films, fat cats can blow into the sky</h1>

In 1984, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for the first time by relying on his self-written and self-directed work "Unmarried Old Bean".

He played a divorced father in the film, interpreting a small character with a nest of pockets as both cute and sad. People were surprised, it turned out that Zheng Zeshi could act.

The boss Huang Baiming showed him the script "Sunset Samurai", and Zheng Zeshi proposed that if the old man was replaced by a mentally handicapped youth, perhaps the effect would be better, but what was the name of the role, the two people wanted to come and go, and decided to call it - fat cat.

Zheng Zeshi decided to direct the film himself, but he also needed a handsome male number two to improve the appearance of the film, and this actor was Zhou Runfa, who was still known as a box office poison at the time.

Zheng Zeshi played a young man with intellectual disabilities in the film "Fat Cat", and finally this tragic story film "Why Should I Have Me", which Zheng Zeshi wrote, directed and acted, triggered a hot discussion on Hong Kong Island in one fell swoop, and debuted in 40 movies, and Zheng Zeshi, who did not act in comedy for the first time, won the crown of the best actor at the Fifth Academy Awards in one fell swoop, and was ridiculed as the fattest film emperor in the history of Hong Kong films.

Zhou Runfa also kicked a breath with this film, but he really raised his eyebrows, and he had to wait until the Academy Awards a year later, when he won his first Golden Statue Emperor with "The True Colors of Heroes". The following year it was won again.

But in the end, it was a year later than Zheng Zeshi, who listened to him talk about acting every day.

After "Why Should There Be Me", Zheng Zeshi filmed the sequel "Fat Cat Wandering" with Maggie Cheung and Noon Ma, although the influence was not as good as the first one, but it laid the foundation for the subsequent Fat Cat series.

At this time, his single film salary has risen to 400,000, becoming one of the highest paid comedians in Hong Kong.

Soon after that, he met Lin Yanming, who was 14 years younger, and this tepid actress would accompany him to the end of his life, even if Zheng Zeshi was later in debt and bankruptcy.

Everything is going well, everything is in full swing.

At this time, the Hong Kong film is like a sunny day thunderbolt opening the sky curtain of the times. After the New Wave movement of Hong Kong films, this fiery river and lake began to create one miracle after another, and the wind rose, and even the fat cat was blown into the sky.

In almost all the important genres of Hong Kong films in the 80s and 90s, the name of Zheng Zeshi can be seen.

Xu Ke joined hands with Jet Li to shoot "Huang Feihong", Liu Jialiang is not GOOD, Yuan Xiangren, Yuan Xiangren still can't meet the requirements, Yuan Heping, the soundtrack comes from a generation of masters Huang Xia, the "General Order" that has been inherited for a hundred years has been adapted by Huang Xia, the drums have changed from far and near, from slow to urgent, from sparse to dense, just the soundtrack, it seems to have instigated thousands of troops and horses, plus Xu Ke's ghostly craftsmanship and home and country feelings, the film has been successful for a large part, and the rest is the casting of the gods.

In this theme movie, Huang Feihong's actor can be changed from Jet Li to Zhao Wenzhuo, Liang Kuan's actor is changed from Yuan Biao to Mo Shaocong, and the actor of Tooth Rub Su is changed from Jacky Cheung to Chen Guobang, only the role of Lin Shirong, from beginning to end, is Zheng Zeshi, not a second candidate.

But what makes Zheng Zeshi more "mighty" is another unique type of Hong Kong film - The Gangster Film.

"Po Hao", written by Xiao Ruoyuan and directed by Ma Dangxiong, was released and was known as the Hong Kong version of "The Godfather". Zheng Zeshi plays Fei Bo, and Lu Liangwei plays Lame Hao.

After the film was launched, it sold more than 38.7 million at the box office and won the Best Film Award at the Academy Awards, and Lu Liangwei and Zheng Zeshi were nominated for the Best Actor and Supporting Actor Awards respectively, and were thus called the Best Partner of hong Kong Gangster Films.

In "The Emperor of Shanghai", Zheng Zeshi played the golden Rong who promoted Du Yuesheng, and the brotherhood of the Hong Kong gangster film was interpreted by the two people.

At this time, Zheng Zeshi became one of the few actors in Hong Kong films who can control comedy, farce and tragedy at the same time, and can direct and participate in police films, literary films, gangster films and even erotic films.

Hong Kong films have always stood at the forefront of audiovisual pursuits, even if they are erotic films, they do not get rid of the background of madness. Bed scenes can be performed from water to flying in the sky, and any film of the same type in any country in the world will never use such a shooting technique as a Hong Kong film - hanging Weiya.

And Zheng Zeshi can face Jackie Chan in "Serious Crime Unit" here, which appears in these alternative Hong Kong action movies full of "strange tricks".

And when those movies flowed into the mainland as pirated CDs, they just bumped into the youth of a generation. Zheng Zeshi will never become a hero of the youth of teenagers, but he will definitely crash into the image of a generation's youth at some point.

The story of the rapid outbreak of Hong Kong films is a legend of the times that belongs exclusively to Hong Kong, China.

Filmmakers are used to watching the midnight premiere with the audience, and as long as the movie is finished, there is applause and scolding, and they know that the movie has succeeded and the box office has succeeded.

All kinds of heroes began to appear on the stage frequently. When the movie market was popular, everyone was as beautiful and outstanding as the fireflies in the dark night.

However, the stars of Hong Kong films who are standing at the top of the mountain would think that the Hong Kong films that are at the peak will give the next wave of the times to dry down.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > glorious years of fighting the streets with Hong Kong films</h1>

Zheng Zeshi is a generation of Hong Kong stars who rose with Hong Kong films, debuted for four years, the film salary grew from 800 to 400,000, and moved in a 300-00-pyeong mansion with his family.

It's as if the Hong Kong film rises all the way, and you can follow the Hong Kong film all the way up. But what if Hong Kong films decline?

Hong Kong films as a whole have flourished for more than 30 years, rising in the 1980s and entering the peak in the early 1990s, when legends always contain an impermanent fate, the myth of rapid rise is like a trend, it is easy to come and go fast.

In 1992, "Oriental Undefeated" sold more than 30 million, and in 1993, another "Rise of the Storm" could only collect more than 10 million, and when Lin Qingxia made another "Six-Fingered Piano Demon" in 1994, it was only more than 4 million. In 1992, "Huang Feihong 3" also had more than 30 million box office, and in 1994, "Huang Feihong 4" only grossed 4.9 million in Hong Kong.

What's more, as soon as Hollywood blockbusters came, the Taiwan market was gone.

Zhang Che, a great director who inspired Zheng Zeshi, said in 1988 that Hong Kong films have narrow themes and insufficient innovation, and in less than a year, they will inevitably decline. However, Zhang's prediction fell short. In the next 10 years, Hong Kong films are still full of heroes, but sooner or later they will come.

Some things start with comedy and end with tragedy.

And Zheng Zeshi happened to be a good coincidence, in 1993, he and a friend founded a film and television company and shot the movie "The Legend of the Hero After the Disaster".

The forgotten movie emperor fat cat and Hong Kong film love yi jianghu and Zhou Runfa eat box lunch together That hong kong film golden age, fat cat can blow up the sky and hong Kong film together to pounce on the street and then counterattack the glorious years of the glorious years to send charcoal Andy Lau and the deceased Hong Kong film love yijianghu

As a result, this film that almost copied the "Lame Hao" selling model and lineup became an important turning point in his life, the film itself lost more than 10 million yuan, coupled with the company's poor management, 80 million debts, other shareholders saw the bad situation and ran away, leaving Zheng Zeshi alone to clean up the mess.

When he opened his mouth to borrow money, many former friends avoided it at this time. He hoped that a popular star would help him make some films at the price of friendship, but the other party refused. At his most difficult time, Zhang Weijian, a contracted artist under the company, suspected him of randomly picking up films, wanted to terminate his contract with him, and asked for more than 2 million yuan in film remuneration.

Cowboy, the original author of "Ancient Puzzle Boy", said: "Righteousness is only a kind of human nature, and it is true in any circle, and things that test friendship may occur in each circle." ”

The glorious years only have a vague shadow, the former film emperor Zheng Zeshi fell from a high place to the abyss, mansions, luxury cars, everything that can be sold is sold, and the friendship is almost dissipated overnight. When his white-haired parents tearfully moved out of the mansion where they had just lived for a few years, Zheng Zeshi knelt down in front of his mother and wife in tears and said, "Believe me, one day I will let you move back again." ”

The forgotten movie emperor fat cat and Hong Kong film love yi jianghu and Zhou Runfa eat box lunch together That hong kong film golden age, fat cat can blow up the sky and hong Kong film together to pounce on the street and then counterattack the glorious years of the glorious years to send charcoal Andy Lau and the deceased Hong Kong film love yijianghu

But where is the world so easy, many directors see Zheng Zeshi's current situation and suppress the price code very badly. Zheng Zeshi only contacted two cameo characters, and the living expenses of his parents and wife and children became a problem.

Someone advised him to escape the debt, but Zheng Zeshi did not want to raise his head in the circle, and his mother said to him, "We are originally poor families, why should we be afraid." ”

In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Zheng Zeshi held several positions, not only playing a cameo role in the TV series, but also participating in the behind-the-scenes production, because he often missed the meal time, he bought several boxes of instant noodles to fill his stomach. The amount of time on set each day reached 17 hours.

But like The Hong Kong film, even the rotten ship still has three nails.

In 1996, he defeated Jackie Chan, Zhang Guorong, Li Ming and Liu Qingyun with the low-level policeman "Deadly Gan" in the film "Three Wounded Policemen", and won the Academy Award for film emperor again after 11 years.

The second year he won the film emperor, ATV remembered the role of "Fat Cat", so he invited Zheng Zeshi to star in "Fat Cat Zhengbiao", which was integrated into one of the "Top Ten Classic Dramas of ATV", in 1999, he starred in "Fat Cat Zhengbiao 2" with He Jiajin and Miao Qiaowei, and in 2000, he starred in "Fat Cat Searching for Relatives" with Sichen Gaowa Guan Lijie HaoLei, and three consecutive "Fat Cat" series made Zheng Zeshi popular again across the taiwan strait and three places.

From 1985 to 2005, Zheng Zeshi played a fat cat a total of 7 times in 20 years, from being unknown to becoming a movie emperor, from peak to valley, but no matter what the situation, he gave his all for every performance.

Hao Lei, one of the most underrated actresses who worked with Zheng Zeshi on "Fat Cat Searching for Relatives", once said: "Before every scene, he (Zheng Zeshi) will gather everyone together to change lines and talk about drama, never lazy." When it comes to family dramas, he will throw tears into the eyes when he plays for the actors. ”

Perhaps it is this innocent empathy that allows him to play the cuteness of a fat cat forever.

Zheng Zeshi, who has been acting as a fat cat for 20 years, once said:

I'm thankful that the audience called me Fat Cat, and if it's called until I die, I'm very grateful. That's what the audience remembers about you for the rest of their lives. Be able to have audience friends remember you until the day you left, "Fat Cat gone"... If there is such a day, I feel, it is my honor.

In 2007, Zheng Zeshi finally managed to turn around and buy two mansions in Happy Valley again, allowing his parents, wife and children to move into a new home.

He began to return to Hong Kong to shoot dramas at a low price, because "the ultimate purpose of my money is to one day live happily with my family." In 2016, he co-produced tvB's self-produced drama "The Gangster Under the Fire Line" with Huang Guangliang. The series broke the ratings of TVB's 8:30 TV series that year.

The year of the "salted fish turning over", he was 53 years old.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > send charcoal to Andy Lau and the deceased Hong Kong film love and righteousness in the snow</h1>

And his Hong Kong film jianghu is no longer there.

In 2019, the overall number of films released in hong Kong for the first time was 326, with Hong Kong films accounting for 46, down 7 again from 2018. What is more serious is that due to the impact of the epidemic, only one Hong Kong film has been filmed this year, and no new Hong Kong films will be filmed in the next two months.

Everyone seems to want to go back to the glorious years of Hong Kong films, after all, there is no going back.

But what about that Hong Kong film? Still there?

Zheng Zeshi said a sentence when he was down - "There are no real friends in the entertainment industry."

But really not? In 2017, Zheng Zeshi and Hua Tsai performed the movie "Chasing the Dragon" together, Zheng Zeshi posted a blog to celebrate the breakthrough of 400 million yuan in "Chasing the Dragon", saying, Thank you for the success, and Mr. Liu is a very good learning opportunity, thank you.

Zheng Zeshi has said many times that what he is most grateful for in his life is Andy Lau, who invited him to serve as a producer when he was in danger of bankruptcy.

Only by experiencing the coldness of the world and the warmth of human feelings can we pay more attention to true love.

When Andy Lau fell off his horse and was injured, the first person to see him was Zheng Zeshi.

Later, Andy Lau recovered from his injuries, and in the past few years, the films supervised by Andy Lau have Zheng Zeshi every time.

Does this scene look like a Hong Kong film?

What is the temperament of Hong Kong films? In my opinion, it is the romanticized blood, the scene in countless Hong Kong films, illogical, but let countless young people instantly gush blood upwards.

How can the Hong Kong film jianghu under this temperament really be impersonal.

The most well-known supporting role of Zheng Zeshi in this decade comes from "Ip Man", but why does "Ip Man" ask him to play the seemingly cowardly Detective Bo Sir, but does not drop the chain at the critical moment? Because director Ye Weixin still remembers that when he first entered the film and television circle to run errands, it was Zheng Zeshi who promoted him, from the field to the director.

Wang Jing complained about the conference, and Zheng Zeshi said on the scene: "In the years when Hong Kong films were at their lowest tide, it was Wang Jing's bad films that let us have food to eat!" ”

Isn't it? In 2000, a young director approached him with a god script and said that he wanted to pack up the movie emperor to make a movie. In the past two years, Wang Jing has been tossing and turning in many ways, and finally persuaded Lin Jianyue of Huanya to shoot. That movie is the last glory of Hong Kong films.

It's called Infernal Affairs.

Xu Anhua's art films have been slamming the street at the box office, and when no one can be found to invest, Wang Jing is the first to stand up and pay for it. In 2009, 7 million were voted for "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai", losing money. Wang Jing not only confiscated her hands, but also cast Xu Anhua's "Idle Fried Rice". And loss.

They asked him why.

He said: "Hong Kong films cannot do without Xu Anhua. When it came to "Sister Tao", Xu Anhua finally turned over.

There is such a clip in the movie: Andy Lau, who plays a film producer, comes to Beijing for a meeting, and at the meeting, he quarrels with Xu Ke and Hong Jinbao in front of the mainland boss for the budget, which has the intention of breaking up, and believes that the real boss had to add money to the project. Then the three quarrelsome people ate a meal of lamb to celebrate.

If there is no help from Hong Kong filmmakers, there is still today's Hong Kong film industry?

And Zheng Zeshi's most recent new work is "The Billion Inspectors of chasing the Dragon Fan", which was supervised by Wang Jing.

Zheng Zeshi said: "I know that this is Wang Jing's work, but I still have to buy tickets to watch the audience, I thank you for giving up your taste and contributing to Hong Kong films, I really thank you." ”

At this time, Zheng Zeshi has been successfully repaying debts for more than ten years. The value of several rooms purchased by the wife doubled in a few years, and in the blink of an eye, she earned back 13 million Hong Kong dollars. Zheng Zeshi also went from a bankrupt star to having money to replace his old car and drive a Mercedes,but still ate the crew's box lunch every day, and led his wife Lin Yanming to a nearby restaurant on weekdays, which is said to not exceed 200 yuan each time.

His hair and eyebrows have been grayed, his face is wrinkled, his eyes are drooping, and he has no "fat cat" style, but he is still very optimistic, saying that he always believes that if he can meet a good script, he can change the established impression of only acting comedy.

The first half of his life is the history of counterattack inspiration, a poor boy from a slum has become the envy of everyone in the spotlight, and the second half of his life is another counterattack legend. After passing the age of Hua Jia, he looked down on life: "Don't mind being proud and frustrated, because these will not be with you for a lifetime." ”

And the Hong Kong film legend he loved is disappearing, and the supporting role of the comedian who became famous with him, Cheng Kui'an, has been dead for many years, and before he died, he said that he was the most popular when he fell. Lee Shau Kee, who talked about The Hong Kong film, suffered from liver cancer before his death.

The older generation of stars gradually withdrew, and the Tasteless Food of Hong Kong Films was a pity to abandon them.

But the legend has existed after all, and the prosperity of Hong Kong films, the most moving thing is always the background in the story.

In this background, there are big coffees like Zhou Runfa, who spared no effort to support the newcomer Zheng Zeshi, and There was Andy Lau's charcoal in the snow to Zheng Zeshi, there was Zheng Zeshi's sympathy for Wang Jing, and Wang Jing's help to Xu Anhua...

The mutual support of this area of rivers and lakes constitutes a watch over the city of Hong Kong.

Of course, Zheng Zeshi has a moment of disappointment in this love and righteousness, but cold-blooded and warm-blooded cannot actually be summed up in simple bad people and good people.

And today's new generation of national films, they believe more in the power of industry, do not believe in rough love, the long story of Hong Kong films, like a leaf, quietly drifted away, shaped by the times, but also forgotten by the times.

The forgotten movie emperor fat cat and Hong Kong film love yi jianghu and Zhou Runfa eat box lunch together That hong kong film golden age, fat cat can blow up the sky and hong Kong film together to pounce on the street and then counterattack the glorious years of the glorious years to send charcoal Andy Lau and the deceased Hong Kong film love yijianghu

Just like Zheng Zeshi.

He recalled the past: to be an actor is to covet vanity, and I have coveted vanity since I was a child. In the mixed showbiz, you must come in with a heart of covetous vanity, and if you want others to appreciate you, this is vanity, and if you like this appreciation, you must covet vanity. But coveting vanity must also depend on conscience, on strength, not on means.

Decades have passed, the rivers and lakes have undergone profound changes, the audience has undergone profound changes, this is the era of traffic and vitality, is the era of hype, is the era of random baking your side singing and I appeared.

By strength? Out.

Zheng Zeshi is like a mirror, reflecting the vividness and loneliness of the magical world of Hong Kong films.

The peak era of Hong Kong films came fiercely and frenetically, just as they retreated.

The fat cat is still the fat cat, and the era is no longer that era.

There are always people who lament that the heroes are old, the rivers and lakes are not there, in fact, time passes, people come and go, but the rivers and lakes are always there.

The forgotten movie emperor fat cat and Hong Kong film love yi jianghu and Zhou Runfa eat box lunch together That hong kong film golden age, fat cat can blow up the sky and hong Kong film together to pounce on the street and then counterattack the glorious years of the glorious years to send charcoal Andy Lau and the deceased Hong Kong film love yijianghu

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Unfortunately, there are no hong Kong films anymore.

Only one love affair remains there. And "the time that disappeared was scattered in the wind, as if I couldn't afford to face it again." "#头条影视档案馆 #
