Guan Ren's family, this is a family that can be called a Hong Kong martial arts family. After the ups and downs of the Xiangjiang martial arts world, it has stood for a hundred years. His family has been famous for many years, and it can be said that he is in the limelight for a while.
And Ren Shiguan is a typical representative of this martial arts family.
The ancestors of the Yuren clan have been friends with martial arts since the ancient Han and Tang dynasties. He is not only a master of martial arts in the world, but also a good master of film production. Ren Yutian was well-known in the Hong Kong film industry in the twenties and thirties, and he was in charge of many classic martial arts.
And Ren's daughter Ren Yan, in the middle of the last century, was the queen of Cleopatra, and she has been in the film industry for more than ten years. Shiguan was born in such a family, and since he was a child, he has learned the essence of his father's martial arts, and has made friends with masters of different sects, which can be described as a deep foundation.
Ren Shiguan first got involved in the film industry, and he was not happy at first. In the sixties and seventies, he traveled in Hong Kong manufacturers, and he was good at dancing with long sleeves, but it was difficult to get rid of the shackles of the role of a small match. It is difficult to find performance opportunities, and Shiguan has also had the idea of leaving in his heart.
Who knew that providence made people, and an unexpected opportunity in 1978 changed the trajectory of his fate.
In the comedy action film "Laughing Fist Tricks" directed and acted by Jackie Chan that year, Shiguan played the role of the villain "Ren Tianhua". He threw himself all into this evil and bloodthirsty villain, and his acting skills exploded, successfully showing a three-dimensional and complex character.
Ren Yan's Tianhua is violent, has a perverse personality, and is even more strong in martial arts, which is incompatible with the "Young Master Long" in the film. This brilliant performance of bold portrayal impressed the audience, and the world official really rose to prominence and became famous.
In the nineties, with the revival of martial arts films again, Ren Shiguan ushered in the peak of his acting career. At that time, Hong Kong-made martial arts blockbusters emerged in an endless stream, and Shiguan, the "villain expert", was in full bloom.
He frequently cooperates with popular movie stars and has created many popular villain models.
Whether it is fighting with Jet Li, fighting with Donnie Yen, or going back and forth with Stephen Chow, Shiguan can perform it with ease, portraying the personalities of different villains vividly.
During this period, his performance attainments were taken to the next level, whether it was martial arts postures, subtle expressions or eye changes, he was able to gain insight into and vividly restore the inner world of complex characters, which deeply impressed the audience.
These villain images created by Shiguan have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of fans and have become the representative works of his career. It is precisely with these contrasting, plump and three-dimensional villains that martial arts films can add countless spiritual enjoyment to the visual impact.
Shiguan can be said to be an important promoter in this.
In the 21st century, Hong Kong's film industry has been declining. The martial arts film craze has faded and is no longer mainstream. In this context, Ren Shiguan, an old artist, gradually faded out of sight.
Now it is rare to see him in the film industry, and this villain interpretation master has retired from the rivers and lakes.
The 76-year-old official is now uncertain about his life and death, and there is no news at all. We can only trace the glorious footprints and wonderful records of his film career, and remember his outstanding contributions to the portrayal of the villain on the screen.
The classic deeds perfectly interpreted by Shiguan have become a part of the collective memory, and those wonderful scenes of sabre-rattling hero duels, villains and decent battles of wits and courage are still touching and unforgettable.
Shiguan represents and presents the splendid prosperity of Hong Kong martial arts films in those years, and this eventful period has condensed into the vicissitudes of history with the witnesses of his era.
