Deplored! The Hong Kong film industry has taken another martial arts actor, he is the "madman star" Chen Xing, died at the age of 82, in fact, Chen Xing died on September 4, until November 18th. Chen Xing was once a member of the Shaw Zhang family class, is one of the second generation of Zhang Che's disciples, and Dillon Jiang David belongs to the same disciple brothers, under normal circumstances, Dillon Jiang David in the film is played by him, is a strong action master, boxing", "Double Hero", "Thirteen Taibao", "Unsung Hero", "The Great Duel" have wonderful performances.
If you don't know it yet, then I say that he is the vengeful father in the cult film "Mountain Dog"; the arrogant "madman star" of The New Art City's signature work "Best Partner"; the big brother of the robbery gang in Xu Guanwen's classic comedy "Modern Bodyguard"; and the black eagle Hu Dali of Zhang Che's "Shanghai Beach Thirteen Taibao". Chen Xing has witnessed the glory and decline of Shaw's films, leaving us with many good memories and going all the way.
Zhang Che is known as the "Hong Kong film generation tyrant", once single-handedly reversed the Hong Kong film from the female-dominated route to the male masculine route, which can be described as indispensable, while his films focus on the sense of flesh and blood violence and hard bridge hard horses, and are also known as the originator of violent aesthetics. Zhang Che not only created many new types of films, but also the disciples he cultivated have also become the backbone of later Hong Kong films, Wu Yusen, Wang Yu, Dillon, Jiang David, Chen Guantai, Fu Sheng are the most famous, as well as a group of practical masters such as Qi Guanjun, Sun Jian, and Di Wei.
With the departure of the "mad star" Chen Xing, Zhang Che's deceased disciple has one more, Fu Sheng was one of Zhang Che's most beloved disciples, Zhang Che's son, Liu Jialiang's apprentice, rich family's son, Shao's kung fu xiaosheng, Zhen Ni's husband are all his labels, even When Shao Yifu attended his wedding, he sighed, and he had everything at a young age. Unfortunately, Fu Sheng was young and vigorous, liked to drive a flying car, and eventually died in an accident, and died at the age of 29.
1978's "Snake-shaped Diao Hand" and "Drunken Fist" created a new genre of kung fu comedy, and Jackie Chan's superstar road began, in fact, as early as 1974, Zhang Che's "Hong Fist and Wing Chun" began to explore this genre, coincidentally, Fu Sheng's master in the film was also Yuan Xiaotian, but at that time Zhang Che was still too conservative and did not have much comedy content. Of course, what Fu Sheng was best at that year was the kung fu comedy genre, with first-class funny skills, performance with spirituality, and shaped the roles of Fang Shiyu, Nezha, Guo Jing, Jiang Xiaoyu and so on, which was deeply loved by everyone. Unfortunately, he died in 1983, and if he had not died early, he might have been a kung fu superstar.
Then there is Jiang Sheng, who left in 1990, only 39 years old, also died young, Jiang Sheng is the fourth generation of Zhang Che's disciple, zhang Che was collected in Taiwan Province, along with Guo Chai, Luo Mang, Wei Bai, Sun Jian, Lu Feng and others, their most representative works are "Five Poisons" and "Mutilation", which is a classic of Hong Kong film cult films, especially "Five Poisons", which is praised by Quentin.
Jiang Sheng is the most spiritual one among the fourth generation of disciples, he is a little disciple in "Five Poisons", and the two completely different personalities in "Mutilation", at first dashing and righteous, followed by demented cuteness, the vivid appearance of acting, at the same time, his movements are coherent and smooth, and the fight is particularly light and good-looking. Compared with being an actor, Jiang Sheng prefers behind-the-scenes work, and the action design of films such as "Broken", "Shaolin and Wudang", and "Fork hand" are all his.
Zhang Che died on June 22, 2002, and most of his disciples came to give him his last journey at the funeral, and Luo Lie, as his first disciple, was absent because he also left on November 2 of the same year. To be precise, Luo Lie was only half a disciple of Zhang Che at that time, and participated in zhang Che's works relatively few, such as "Golden Swallow", "Flying Knife Hand", "Iron Hand Ruthless" and so on. Luo Lie portrayed heroic and positive roles in the early days of Shaw, and began to slowly change in the later stages, with its own good and evil qualities, favored by many directors, in addition to Zhang Che, he participated in many works by directors such as Hu Jinquan, Luo Wei, Xu Zenghong, Chu Yuan, He Menghua and so on.
Many people should be more familiar with his performance in Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s, generally the existence of villain bosses, such as Li Zhifei in "Miracle", the general in "Police Story 3", and the bandit leader in "Zhongyi Qunying". At the same time, Luo Lie also has achievements in the field of TV dramas, such as Hachier of "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", "Yangmen Female General", "Winner is King", "King of a Thousand Kings Re-emerges", "Sword And Whistle Jianghu" and so on. Luo Lie's acting skills are impeccable, but his reputation is not very good, because he deceived Le Yun and was named a "scumbag". Now that the two are long gone, the past has become a passing cloud.
There was one person who did not show up at Zhang Che's funeral that year, that is, NoonMa, who was the first generation of Zhang Che's disciples with Wang Yu, Luo Lie, and Zheng Lei, who did not show up that year because he was filming in the mainland. Noon Ma was Zhang Che's assistant director in Shaw at that time, and he was also the most severe one who was scolded, but it was also during Shao's period that Noon Ma learned the film knowledge of editing and directing, paving the way for later becoming a director, and directed dozens of films in his directing career, with relatively high evaluations such as "Shaolin Hero", "People Are Scary", "Exorcism", "Righteous Courage" and other works.
Of course, many people more recognize the identity of the actor of the noon horse, he is Yan Chixia of the Demon Guardian Road in "Qiannu Ghost", Jackie Chan's right-hand man in "Miracle", the master who fights with Chen Youdou in "Uncle Zombie", Ling Wanfeng who routines Zhang Yaoyang with Zhou Xingchi in "Love Saint", etc. It is worth mentioning that he is also present in the TV series "The Fission of the Great Qin Empire", "Touched and Reminded", and "Dashengkui".
Old Master Noon Horse is a living fossil of Hong Kong films, a golden supporting role in the Hong Kong film industry, witnessed the glory and loneliness of Hong Kong films, and actively promoted the integration of mainland and Hong Kong films, so when he died in 2014, Tang Guoqiang, Yin Li, Jin Qiaoqiao and other mainland filmmakers also went to mourn, and there were 8 big men such as Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Dillon, Jiang David, Yue Hua, Shi Tian, Tang Jili and Zeng Zhiwei to help him.
Zhang Che and his Zhang Jiaban have made important contributions to Hong Kong films, carrying many good memories of us, and finally I just want to say, "Mad Star" Chen Xing, all the way!
