At the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1993, Leung Ka Fai took the trophy for best actor from Gong Li for half a day. The host also thought he was too excited, and quickly reminded him from the side: It is true!
Leung explains: "No, I want to see which film won the award. ”
That time, Liang Jiahui had two films shortlisted, namely "The Chess King" and "92 Black Roses vs. Black Roses" directed by Liu Zhenwei.
But he is really not Versailles, but because he really did not pay attention to which one won the award - he was about to give an acceptance speech, and he had to know which crew to thank, right?
What made him award was the nonsensical comedy directed by Liu Zhenwei; he defeated Jackie Chan in "Police Story 3" and Stephen Chow of "The Inquisitor".
In fact, to say nonsense, Zhou Xingchi is the representative figure, and his fame at that time has long been in the sky.
In the top 15 hong Kong box office in 1992, Stephen Chow's films accounted for 7 places, and one person won the top five at the box office. In particular, his "Inquisitor" broke the box office record of 50 million Hong Kong films.
But at this Academy Awards, Liang Jiahui actually "just" "just" with him in a nonsense movie - and "just" won.
Unexpected? But it makes sense.
Life is often like this, but things that seem to be stable will be lost, and there will often be some unexpected turnarounds when the mountains and rivers are exhausted.
Leung Ka Fai is no stranger to such things.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="12" > never thought he would act in a movie</h1>
Leung Ka Fai was born into an ordinary well-off family. Dad was an accountant and mom was a housewife, but before he went to elementary school, his mom worked as a school operator in a movie theater.
Liang Jiahui's father was more enlightened, and seeing that his son was restless and not very attentive to reading, he said to him: "If you really don't want to read, tell me that you can learn a craft." If you can't be a white-collar worker, you can be a blue-collar worker, but you have to master a technology. ”
The pressure of "one technology" is much smaller for Leung Ka Fai.
He had practiced sprinting and wanted to be a sprinter, but the coach said he wasn't fit for sprinting and had to give up. He continued his studies until he graduated from secondary school and went to the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute to study graphic design.
By this time, the "restless" Leung Ka Fai had long been tired of the decent class life, so after graduating from college, he looked at the wireless artist training class.
Ben expected him to be a technician, but instead he went to a training course. However, his visit to the artist training class was also an accident.
Like Andy Lau, Liang Chaowei and others, Liang Jiahui also accompanied his friends to register at that time, and as a result, his friends were not admitted but he was admitted.
The reason why he is willing to take the training class is also very "simple and rude", that is, he found that everyone can go to school here without wearing a school uniform, and they can also experience various roles, which is very fun.
Yes, he took the training class simply because it was fun.
It is worth mentioning that Liang Jiahui and Andy Lau were classmates who were admitted to the training class in the same year, and Liang Chaowei's friend who accompanied him at that time was called Zhou Xingchi.
Zhou Xingchi and the two of them went to the training class in the second year. Zhou Xingchi did not enter the exam at that time, and later reluctantly entered the night training class through other means.
Speaking of which, it is not surprising that many years later, this legitimate master brother defeated a "night training" master and brother.
Leung Ka Fai and Stephen Chow have somewhat similar experiences. They both had a theater near their home, and they had the opportunity to be exposed to movies since they were young; their idols were Bruce Lee, and Leung even climbed through the door of Bruce Lee's house and ran with Bruce Lee.
But the difference is that Stephen Chow is a training class to be a star, while Leung Ka Fai is purely accidental.
However, after entering the class, Liang Jiahui performed well, he and Andy Lau have always been the top students in the class, thus getting more dragon set opportunities.
The most impressive thing was that once they received the opportunity to play a role for Zhou Runfa.
Holding the thick script, the two studied it overnight - the other party is Zhou Runfa! Of course, you can't be too ashamed of yourself.
As a result, it took half a day to study and found that the two people played bodyguard A and bodyguard B respectively. Just standing on either side of Zhou Runfa, there was only one line: "Yes, Brother Long." ”
The two were not discouraged and began to design their own shapes.
Andy Lau designed a toothpick in his mouth, while Liang Chaowei wore a tall hat and put his hand into his clothes to do the action of pulling out the guy at any time.
The only thing they didn't expect was that their "intentions" were exchanged for a scolding from the director: "What are the two in the back doing?" Is a toothpick just finished eating? The one with the hat, do you think you're Napoleon? ”
A passion meets a basin of cold water. At that time, Liang Jiahui could not imagine in any way, and within a few years, he and Zhou Runfa created classic works such as "Prison Storm" and "Hero's True Colors 3".
Because not long after staying in the artist training class, he had an accident again.
Everyone else has to sign up for wireless after one year of school. In particular, Andy Lau soon starred in "Divine Eagle Hero" and became one of the wireless five tiger generals, while Liang Jiahui only got a letter of termination after only 9 months.
Or because of his unruly personality.
But he didn't really plan to be a star in a movie anyway, so if he didn't do it, he quickly found other things that interested him more.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="77" > inverted, and then reversed</h1>
After coming out of the training class, Liang Jiahui began to invest in "all his wealth" to run a magazine. He studied graphic design, which is always what he learned.
It's just that the results can be imagined, and the loss is a mess. The only thing that was a little rewarding was that he met Li Dianlang, who helped him make the cover girl.
Li Dianlang is the daughter of the great director Li Hanxiang.
It was during that time that Li Hanxiang was preparing to shoot a Qing Palace drama. And Liang Jiahui's thin and long face, small but very godly eyes attracted his attention.
As a result, there was no result with Li Hanxiang's daughter, but Liang Jiahui had a master-apprentice relationship with Li Hanxiang himself.
Liang Jiahui, who originally thought that he had "run away" from the film and television circle, inexplicably walked back to the big screen and filmed "Hanging Curtains and Listening to Politics".
And what is surprising is that this young man, who has never really acted in a movie, actually won the best actor award at the third Academy Awards with this film.
He won the award, a full 16 years before his classmate Andy Lau won the award for the first time.
Surprised? Surprised?
Imagine that there are artists in the entertainment industry who have revealed that they can increase their salary once in the last hot search. Then when he won the Academy Award, the film emperor should naturally be more continuous, right?
But Leung Ka Fai is an exception.
It seems that fate is so magical to him, waiting for him, always can make people unexpected ending.
Because of this film, Leung Ka-fai was "banned" by the Taiwan Provincial Film Market. The market has shrunk, and naturally no one dares to continue to look for him to shoot.
Once again, Leung "quit" the film industry. And this time he retired more thoroughly, because he didn't even have the opportunity to run a magazine, so he had to get some trinkets to go to Causeway Bay to set up a stall.
However, Liang Jiahui does not feel that this is the trough of his life, because he always remembers the idea instilled in him by his father: there is no trough in life, and do not give up at any time.
"Your life is still there. As long as you don't die for a day, there is always a chance for you to sprint, and one day your head can come out. ”
And it was during that time that Liang Jiahui reaped the love of his life.
The low tide of his career turned into a highlight moment in his life.
For so many years, Liang Jiahui had almost zero scandals.
Women are easy to grow old, and a few years later, someone pointed to the photos of them shopping together and said that Jiang Jianian and Liang Jiahui looked like a "big mother" together. But Leung ka-fai said: "I think my wife is getting more and more beautiful." ”
When asked what was the secret of his love preservation, Leung Ka Fai: "Because I love my wife." ”
They are truly in love.
The two people met at the most difficult time, Liang Jiahui spent 8,000 yuan and a marriage certificate he drew by hand to marry Jiang Jianian. Since then, Jiang Jianian has become The most powerful backing of Liang Jiahui and has never complained.
Quit the training class - walk back to the film circle - shoot is the film emperor - the film emperor has no drama to shoot - street stalls - harvest love.
The ups and downs of life are reversed and the cycle is just like this, and the script does not dare to design it easily, right?
But this is Leung Ka Fai's real life experience.
After "92 Black Roses vs. Black Roses", Leung Ka Fai won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards twice, becoming the actor who has won the most awards so far besides Liang Chaowei.
Not only has he defeated Stephen Chow, but his brilliance has never been inferior to that of the other party in the films he has worked with Andy Lau.
Such achievements are obviously inseparable from his experience.
However, his experience seems to be full of accidents, in fact, it can also verify the sentence "Behind every accident there is its inevitability."
He "accidentally" went to the training class, but if he was not interested in acting, he would not have achieved the same later; when his life was at a low point, he "accidentally" encountered love, but if it were not for Liang Jiahui's personality of loving tossing and turning, he would not have won the beauty and returned to the mountains so smoothly.
In particular, he "accidentally" won the best actor award and became a star at the beginning, but later Li Hanxiang criticized him: "I want to praise you as a star, and you just ran to be an actor." ”
Li Hanxiang criticized him because Leung Ka Fai always disregarded the image and took on all kinds of nonsensical, funny and even erotic types of dramas.
But it is precisely because of Liang Jiahui's stubbornness that he does not want to let the director portray him, he wants to understand the characters and experience different lives by himself, so he has a powerful drama bone that has been active since then.
It is gratifying that whether it is Leung Ka Fai or Stephen Chow or Andy Lau, they are still active today.
They have only been training for a year, but they are spending their whole lives to prove that they are worthy of the word "actor".
