42-year-old Nicholas Tse appeared at the film festival, the love of his life, supporting half of the sky in Hong Kong films after Edison Chen

The Shanghai Film Festival and Weibo Film Night followed, which is a grand event for Chinese filmmakers.

Zhang Ziyi, Shu Qi and other big flowers are beautiful.

Shen Teng, Wu Jing and other mainstays in the film industry have accumulated thick and thin.

Juniors such as Wang Yuwen, Wang Ziqi, and Zhang Zifeng have also begun to take shape.

But to say that the most eye-catching style is Nicholas Tse, among the many modest male stars, his white hair is particularly eye-catching.

With white hair and a white suit, he is a maverick.

It would be a little weird if others wore it like this, but he was so and so, but it was even more determined.

Some people say that in recent years, Nicholas Tse's calm and detached temperament has become more and more like Faye Wong.

01, Gemini

Edison Chan and Nicholas Tse were once the stars of hope for Hong Kong films, inheriting the past and the future.

If Hong Kong films are rivers and lakes, then Edison Chen is a genius, and Nicholas Tse is a local talent.

The same handsome two people met at school at the age of 15 and began a delicate fate in their lives.

Nicholas Tse's father, Xie Xian, is a well-known talent in Hong Kong, handsome, spendful, spendthrift, will make money, and can spend money.

Xie Xian is addicted to gambling, it is common to owe millions of debts, he has a high salary, he earns money to pay it back, he can pay it off at the beginning, and then he will pay it back more and more.

Nicholas Tse's mother Deborah, the champion of the Asian sister beauty pageant, is unique, and gave birth to him and his sister Xie Tingting.

In the mid-80s of last century, Xie Xian owed nearly 20 million yuan, seeing that he and his wife did not earn enough money, he set his sights on his son with pink makeup and jade, Nicholas Tse.

Nicholas Tse began to shoot advertisements at the age of 2, officially appeared at the age of 6, debuted at the age of 16, became popular at the age of 19 because of the record "Thank You for Love", because he has been surrounded by magnesium lights since childhood, he has always loved and hated the entertainment industry.

Love the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry, but hate the shackles exposed to the public's eyes.

Compared with him, Edison Chen is much freer, and not long after the two met in international school, Nicholas Tse began his path as a trainee.

A few years later, his father and Edison Chen, who has a lot of connections in the entertainment industry, also entered the entertainment industry because he liked it, and signed with Nicholas Tse in the same company.

Nicholas Tse is handsome, at the beginning of his debut, there was only a kind of lonely courage of a young man, relying on hard work and hard work, the clothes and temperament were average, and singing and acting were also said to be too strong.

His rebellion is reflected in smashing guitars on stage, but in life, he still obeys the rules of the entertainment industry.

Edison Chen has a good temperament and appearance, what is rare is a sense of relaxation, acting and singing effortlessly can do the best, compared with Nicholas Tse's best efforts, he is like a game.

He is also rebellious, and his rebellion is reflected in meeting a reporter who is secretly filming, and can directly walk over and smash the camera.

Similar in age, and in a company, the two have become increasingly intimate, going out on the street together, playing together, buying clothes together, and being like brothers.

The two collaborated together on "Flying Dragon Regeneration" and "Half a Cigarette", and also starred in the "SWAT New Humans" series, which can be described as a momentary success.

Edison Chen's recognition in acting skills was much higher than Nicholas Tse at that time, and he was also known as the leader and successor of that generation.

02. The story of three people

Handsome, maverick, relaxed attitude to life, Edison Chen has never lacked Yingying Yanyan around him, and the beauties of the younger generation are more or less friendly with him.

Maggie Q even left a generation of male god Wu Yanzu for him, causing the two friends to turn against each other, but the young and frivolous Edison Chen never took anyone seriously.

Nicholas Tse's love history is not too much, the first love he met at the age of 15 was Dai Sicong's daughter Dai Xinwei, and later had an affair with Lin Xinru and Zheng Xiuwen.

In 2000, the celebration of "In the Mood for Love" ended, he held hands with Faye Wong, all the way, he was looking for his sister, and he seemed to be looking for someone who could protect himself since he was a child.

In 2001, at an awards ceremony, Faye Wong sat in the first row, Nicholas Tse performed "Perfume", in order to enliven the atmosphere, he walked down from the stage, but did not look at Faye Wong, but walked directly next to Edison Chen and Cecilia Cheung.

Her interaction with Edison Chen and Cecilia Cheung is lively and warm, holding the microphone and singing with Cecilia Cheung, 3 teenagers, all like flowers.

Faye Wong, who was sitting in the first row, was expressionless, just looking back at them meaningfully.

Cecilia Cheung has many shortcomings, bad personality, emotional instability, and little reading, but she is really good-looking, acting has spirituality, and is known as "Maggie Cheung's successor".

With each other for a long time, it is difficult not to be moved by her.

No one knows when things started, but in 2002, Nicholas Tse officially announced the end of his relationship with Faye Wong and had an affair with Cecilia Cheung.

In 2003, Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong got back together, but this experienced the "top bag" of Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung, and the two broke up again at the end of the year.

In 2004, Faye Wong and Li Yapeng announced their relationship and married in 2005.

At the same time, Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse also reunited because they participated in Chen Kaige's "Infinity" at the same time.

Chen Kaige's movie seems to have a kind of magic, and Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting also became husband and wife because of his "Search".

Although Nicholas Tse seems to be free, after breaking up with Faye Wong, he has always wanted to get back together, but Li Yapeng took the lead and he had no choice but to give up.

After that, he officially fell in love with Cecilia Cheung, and he quickly became husband and wife with Cecilia Cheung after Faye Wong got married.

He has been following Faye Wong along the way.

It's just that in my heart I can't compare to living a good life, Cecilia Cheung married Nicholas Tse and gave birth to a child, even if she can't get by, she may be able to survive to the end.

If there is no Edison Chen.

03. If the computer is not broken

In 2008, Edison Chen's computer broke, and during the repair process, intimate photos of him and many actresses on the computer were exposed.

Including dozens of actresses such as Gillian and Cecilia Cheung at that time, the male stars involved involved were even involved in half of the entertainment industry.

As soon as this matter came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and the actresses involved became the target of public criticism, avoiding them for the two, they were semi-retiring, and the relevant male stars also acted low-key.

In order to calm the situation, Edison Chen announced his indefinite withdrawal from the entertainment industry.

Although Hong Kong films have passed their heyday, at least there were still a large number of excellent young actors in Hong Kong at that time, but this matter directly brought the young generation of actors to a pot.

For Nicholas Tse, best friend and closest lover, this is an awkward choice.

But fortunately, it was before marriage, in Cecilia Cheung's crying confession, in the eyes of children, he chose to advance and retreat with Cecilia Cheung.

Cecilia Cheung stopped for two years and gave birth to a second child.

On May 8, 2011, the two happened to be on the same flight, and Cecilia Cheung actually took the initiative to ask to change seats, so next to Edison Chen, talking and laughing, and taking selfies.

This is equivalent to a slap in the face to Nicholas Tse, and he has become the biggest laughing stock in the world.

The following year, Nicholas Tse Cecilia Cheung divorced, in 2013, Faye Wong divorced, and in 2014, Nicholas Tse Faye Wong Century reunited.

Nicholas Tse finally came together with Faye Wong, whom he had admired almost all his life.

04. Half of the country

Cecilia Cheung is no longer filming, Gillian and SA and other stars have semi-retired, Edison Chen has withdrawn from the circle, and the Hong Kong circle has suddenly looked deserted.

Andy Lau, Koo Tianle, Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, Kwok Fucheng, Leung Ka-fai and others are suddenly the youngest filmmakers, in the past 10 years, Hong Kong films are almost they appear in various films in turn.

Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong are in love, the years are quiet, they concentrate on the study of cooking, and they have no ambition to fight for filming.

Due to the general environment and the lack of leading figures, people no longer have much expectations for the generation of Hong Kong films.

"Why don't Hong Kong films work" has become a must-talk topic when talking about Hong Kong films for more than 10 years.

Edison Chen is too old to watch, and he surrounds his wife and children every day, happy and ordinary.

There will always be people who talk about Edison Chen's almost perfect appearance from time to time.

A unique youthful spirit.

The acting skills of the clever hand Tiancheng sighed with emotion that if he was still there, what height it should be, and the genius's early exit was regrettable.

But Nicholas Tse, as a local talent, is rarely mentioned, and it seems that his upper limit has long been well known.

But 10 years later, as soon as he made a move, he broke his ceiling in "Angry Case", and the villain he played was not as blunt and deliberate as he was young.

Some are quiet natural and natural character emotions, he unconsciously, surpassed himself, he may still not be a genius, but he has indeed reached the realm of ease, among men of the same age, he is close to the top in all aspects.

When male stars of the same age are a little old, he still has exquisite skin and flesh, tendon meat, six-pack abs and physical strength to perform the play without a stand-in.

In terms of acting skills, it is indeed not embarrassing and not pretentious.

Speaking of resources, in the 10 plays of the emperor in 2023, he will participate in at least 3, but these are not the most important, the most important thing is that he strung together Hong Kong films.

"Customs Front" he shared the stage with Jacky Cheung and Wu Zhenyu, and also served as a martial arts instructor, so that the old filmmakers continued to shine.

"Wireless Mission" brings the newcomer Chen Weiting and newcomer Yang Tianyu of the same generation to fill the actor echelon.

"Rage Spreads" with Andy Lau is director Guo Zijian, although Guo Zijian has previously directed "Antiques Bureau Middle Bureau" starring Li Xian, and he is close to 50 years old, but he is not too out of the circle of works, which can be regarded as using the fame of an actor to push the director.

"New Police Story 2" cooperates with Jackie Chan, continues the frontier, the actor and director are single, and Asa is on the big screen, this kind of movie is most suitable for group portraits, obviously it is indispensable to bring newcomers.

As Jackie Chan said, he is the one who can take over the banner of action movies.

This year, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "year of Nicholas Tse", but his identity has long been not a simple actor can summarize.

If Edison Chen hadn't withdrawn from the circle, he might have been an excellent filmmaker, but for the industry, what he can do may not be higher than Nicholas Tse.

Before the death of director Chen Musheng, he pinned his hopes on the revitalization of Hong Kong films on Nicholas Tse.

In 2011, Chow Yun-fat said to Nicholas Tse that "Hong Kong's films in the next 30 years depend on you."

Although it was 10 years late, he finally took responsibility, and Chow Yun-fat was not wrong.

After a long 10 years, 15 years after people regret the loss of Edison Chen, Nicholas Tse has supported half of Hong Kong films.
