The 1980s were the golden age of Hong Kong films. Among them, Zhou Runfa, with his outstanding performances in "Shanghai Beach" and "The True Colors of Heroes", exerted the charm of oriental men to the extreme.
The famous director Li Hanxiang said: "Zhou Runfa is Gary in the eyes of Westerners. Grant + Harrison. Ford, in the eyes of his oriental fans, he represents ideals, wisdom, and chivalry. ”
And today's male protagonist Gary. Grant, who is known as Hollywood's "most glamorous and romantic character" and "popular lover", is handsome on the screen, kind at heart, and exudes a mesmerizing confidence and calmness in every move.
As the royal male protagonist of the master of suspense Hitchcock, Gary starred in a series of thriller suspense films that became famous in the world film world.
As Gary himself put it, "Everybody wants to be Gary. Grant, even I thought about it myself. "But his life, the loss of his mother at an early age, the dropping out of school at a young age, five marriages, four divorces, is far less perfect than in the movie...
01
Gary. Grant was born on 18 January 1904 in Bristol, England. As the only son in the family, he is deeply loved by his mother.
Her mother suffered from depression from a miscarriage, which caused Gary's father a lot of headaches. As time goes on, it gets more boring. When Gary was ten years old, his father forcibly sent his wife to a mental hospital and lied to Gary, who was returning from school, into saying, "Your mother went on vacation."
Gary was shocked, why didn't her mother say hello to her and leave?
Gary's mind is full of question marks, and his mood is extremely low, and he reflects that "it may be that he did something bad to let his mother leave home." Three months later, Dad told Gary, "Your mother is dead." Suddenly, Gary burst into tears.

Before Gary's grief from losing his mother healed, his father took his mistress into the house and gave birth to his own child.
It is said that a child with a mother is a treasure, and Gary without a mother becomes grass, and in the eyes of the stepmother, Gary is the nail in the eye, the thorn in the flesh. She blew the wind in front of her husband every day, saying that Gary was not good, that it was not good, and that her father saw Gary and became angry, threatening to get him out of the house.
Instead of being tortured, it is better to fight hard and go out. When Gary was 14 years old, he was fed up with his stepmother's vicious words, so he pretended to be his father's signature to join the circus and walked the rivers and lakes ever since.
At the circus, Gary learned a lot of skills such as stilt walking, comedy performance, and so on. The bits and pieces that come from life fall into Gary's eyes and lay the foundation for him to create a different performance style in the future.
At the age of 16, Gary toured the United States with the troupe, and the free and prosperous atmosphere allowed him to stay on the American continent.
Imagine that a poor boy with no academic background and no family background began to "drift beautifully" in a foreign country, really relying on the strength of the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

The days of wandering the rivers and lakes are hard and tight, but they also honed Gary's personality of being a harmonious and well-behaved person, and his drift is ten years. Ten years of grinding a sword, at the age of 27, Gary auditioned for Paramount at the recommendation of a friend, and began his career as a dragon runner on the screen.
Insight into the world is learned, and human emotions are articles. The days of running the dock make Gary deeply familiar with the wisdom of the jianghu, coupled with a handsome appearance, humorous and playful conversation, Gary was appreciated by actress Maywest, and the two began to cooperate. Mewest was supposed to be a noble man in Gary's life.
It was really the grandfather who appreciated the meal, and as soon as the two films of "Nong Ben Amorous" and "I Am Not an Angel" were released, Gary began to become popular. The comedic style he honed in the circus in his early years, coupled with the humorous personality cultivated by life, made Gary's performance easy. In the following years, with his excellent acting skills and elegant appearance, Gary jumped to the top of the list of male stars.
The master of suspense, Hitchcock, admired Gary's acting skills, and under his creation, Gary and Ingri. Bergman collaborated on "The Beauty Plan" and with Audrey. Hepburn starred in "Enigma within Mystery", which is the masterpiece of Master Hee and also a classic film of Gary.

Gary, who became a late bloomer, has a well-known career, but in his emotional life, it is difficult to say a word.
When Gary first entered Hollywood, he got only a few small roles, was not financially rich, and could only share a room with others. Scott, the actor, became his roommate.
Scott often joked that he was Gary's "wife." The two began in 1932 and have been "living together" for ten years. Many reporters exposed that they were comrades, but the two insisted on denying it.
On the question of comrades, Gary's daughter later used the Spring and Autumn brushwork in her father's memoirs, neither acknowledging nor denying, but giving a very ambiguous statement from the side. This also makes people more curious about Gary's private life.
Gary's five marriages, four divorces, looking back at his vicissitudes of marriage history, he confessed: "They have always left me, and it is definitely not me who wants to leave them." ”
In fact, Gary made a common sense mistake, that is, as a human being, he was always good at examining the shortcomings of others with a magnifying glass and treating his own weaknesses with a microscope.
Gary lost his mother since he was a child, broke into the rivers and lakes, and experienced the cold and warm and hot world in the world, which made him emotionally unstable. The uneasiness caused by his early experiences made him always want to have control. As a result, he always has a strong desire to control his wife, even violent tendencies.
When Gary was 30 years old, his father revealed to him the truth about his mother's death. When he learned that his father had single-handedly sent his mother to a mental hospital, but he knew nothing, and thought of his mother's lonely and cold situation in the mental hospital, Gary almost collapsed.
Since then, Gary has chosen drugs to obtain temporary peace, but this has exacerbated the irritability in his personality, coupled with the words of his comrades, so that his married life is always in a mess, swinging the knife again and again, and going to despair again and again.
Finally in 1981, 77-year-old Gary, held hands with PR Miss Barbara. Even with a 46-year age difference, the two spent 5 years together.
The American "People" weekly magazine has done a special issue of Gary's review. Among them, Gary is very frank and said that the two women he loves most in this life are Grace. Kelly and Sophia. Rowland. He also joked that there are a lot of people who would think Audrey. Hepburn is single, ascetic but Grace. Kelly will let you go to this she does something while Sophia. Roland's European style is absolutely unmatched.
It seems that regardless of age, men love beautiful women and have not run away, the truth that has not been broken through the ages.
Although Gary starred in many films, many won Academy Awards. But he never won the Academy Award for Best Actor, which is also a big setback for him. Fortunately, in 1970, he won the Oscar lifetime achievement award, which made up for this shortcoming.
On November 26, 1986, Gary died of cerebral hemorrhage. In accordance with his will, the family scattered his ashes into the Atlantic Ocean. Since then, Hollywood's standard handsome guy has entered history...
