How did the cynical "Big Flying Brother" in "Interpol 1977" grow up like this now?
On January 25, Hong Kong actor Lu Huiguang posted photos of a party with friends on social platforms, including many faces that we were once familiar with.
For example, "Brother Crow" Zhang Yaoyang, "Rogue Tycoon" Wu Qihua, etc., while Wu Tingye on the side is almost unrecognizable!
The impression of Wu Tingye is the upright temperament of "Liu Zhensheng", and he is also the "Du Kill" among the four villains, and he is still the "bandit" Ye Shiguan, and now he is 63 years old, and his whole person is so thin that he is skinny!
Looking at the hot pot on the table, but also a few bottles of Moutai are particularly conspicuous, just from the photos, several people opened 3 bottles of Moutai together, everyone drank very happily, and hugged each other with a smile and took a group photo.
And Zhang Yaoyang, who has also entered the threshold of 60 years old, although his hair has turned white, his appearance does not look much different from before, he is still as fierce as "Brother Crow" in the play, and his momentum is still there.
And several other people in front of the camera are also 60 years old, but aging is not very reflected on their faces, only Wu Tingye is alone, and many netizens don't see that it is him.
After pulling the photo in, you can see that the blue tendons on Wu Tingye's face, who is just over 60 points, are very obvious, and the whole person's face is uneven, the bone feeling is very obvious, and the spirit does not look particularly good.
Lu Huiguang also left a message below, saying "Today's all-male class!", but in fact, the relationship between Wu Tingye and Tony Leung is also very iron, and the two are still classmates!
But whether it is compared with Lu Huiguang and others or Tony Leung, Wu Tingye's career and feelings are very unsmooth compared to them.
When others have successful careers, get married and have children, he has been silently playing supporting roles in the entertainment industry, and now he is 63 years old and he is still single!
1, Stephen Chow's classmate, Tony Leung's friend, was once rejected by TVB for impulsiveness
Compared with Stephen Chow and Tony Leung, the name Wu Tingye is not a household name, and there are even many viewers who do not know him.
But when it comes to "I Have a Date with a Zombie", many people must still have an impression of Tsunachi's "True Enlightenment" of Wai Rou Nei, after all, he was also selected as the top five of ATV's "Best Supporting Actor" with this drama.
At the end of 1960, Wu Tingye was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong, and his original name was not Wu Tingye, but Wu Yushou.
His family is ordinary and his studies are ordinary, so when he grew up, he embarked on the path of being an actor like many people.
At the age of 20, he chose to join the 11th Radio Artist Training Course as a cadet, and his classmates at that time can now be said to be better than the other.
For example, "Star Master" Stephen Chow, as well as the actor "Tony Leung", and the tough guy Wu Zhenyu, but it seems that in front of these people, he has become a little transparent.
When his classmates embarked on the road to fame after graduation, he didn't even have to run at that time, but this is not to say that he has a problem with his personal ability, but he was directly rejected by TVB as soon as he graduated that year.
And when it comes to this past, Wu Tingye himself also feels very regretful......
Back in 1982, TVB, by the swimming pool in the company, many high-level executives appeared one by one, and the students were also called together.
It turned out that a variety show called "Bibo Le You" was being recorded at that time, and because the audience was too small at that time, the boss ordered the 11th batch of students who were about to graduate to be cheerleaders.
Ordered, those who wanted to go and didn't want to go rushed to the scene, Stephen Chow, Tony Leung, Ouyang Zhenhua and others were all present, but only Wu Tingye did not come.
Because he had just broken up with his girlfriend at that time and was sad at home, he was unable to reach the scene in the end, and when he finally graduated, he was the only one who was directly rejected by the company.
Originally, this was just a trivial matter, and Wu Tingye didn't care about it, until everyone else successfully signed a contract with the company, and he didn't realize that something was wrong.
Although he reacted quickly and hurried to explain to the teacher and leader, what ability can he have as a young student, the company is not there when it is needed, and he has difficulties to come to the company.
Sure enough, all his requests were rejected by the company, and he didn't expect that his impulse directly changed the trajectory of his entire life.
When others received the play, he was both out of love and unemployed, and a big boy was in tears all day long, but he still held the hope that the company would forgive him, and waited silently for 2 years.
But it turned out that he was thinking too much on his own, and there was no way, so he set his sights on ATV.
2. Entered ATV and became a "queen traitor", and so far single has taken care of his mother as his girlfriend
In 1984, at the age of 24, he chose to join ATV, the rival of TVB at that time, and became a trainee in that company.
This not only means that he needs to start learning again, but because he is from TVB, he may also be limited in terms of resources.
Looking at Tony Leung, a friend he met in the TVB training class at that time, he became a new star in the eyes of many audiences in 1984 with only two dramas, and he was just a primary school apprentice at that time.
Because his appearance reveals an evil spirit, and he himself is also very introverted and doesn't like to talk, so later Yawei arranged for him to be mostly villains.
In his first year in ATV, he was arranged to play the villain Sima Huangfen in the martial arts drama "The Four Famous Catches", but this role did not attract too much attention.
In the same year, he played a small villain in a police drama, but he still failed to attract attention, and in the following years, he began his own supporting role, and most of them were villains.
In a word, he has received a lot of dramas and works, but there are not many scenes.
Looking at Stephen Chow at that time, he became the "king of comedy" in people's hearts, and Tony Leung, Wu Zhenyu and others became "actors!"
But his friend Tony Leung understands that he is not incapable, but too low-key, not fighting or grabbing.
Every time the two go out to eat together, there will always be fans looking for "Wei Zai" to sign an autograph, and no one notices Wu Tingye, who frequently appears on TV, and for Wu Tingye, he has long been used to such a situation.
It wasn't until he was in his 30s that the name Wu Tingye finally became a little famous, such as Xu Fei in "Interpol 1997", and Zhang Sir in "Infernal Affairs".
In terms of relationships, although he does have many relationships, in his own words, each period of time is very short, and it is all this and that.
In the past, he also had the urge to get married, but in the end he still failed to enter the marriage, and his good friends thought that it had a lot to do with his personal personality.
One of the most well-known is the scandal he had with Zhang Wenci, who met when the two were working together on "I Have a Date with a Zombie".
Although the scandal has started for many years, although both of them have refuted the rumors, the scandal has not stopped.
Until now, Wu Tingye has not entered into marriage, he is still single, and in addition to work, he devotes all his body and mind to his elderly mother.
In an interview, he once bluntly said, "She used to take care of me, but now I take care of her, treat my mother like a girlfriend, and my mother is the best partner." ”
He has regrets emotionally and career, and after leaving TVB, his biggest hope is that he must make a drama in TVB.
And this wish has finally come true after 36 years of leaving TVB!
3, returned to TVB filming after 36 years, saying that he regretted it very much
In 2019, TVB's highlight "Iron Detective" attracted a lot of popularity from the audience as soon as it was released, and the hit rate of this movie is very high whether it is in the mainland or in Hong Kong.
There are not only Hui Yinghong, Jiang Haowen and others in the play, but Wu Tingye played the domineering battalion commander in the film, and he still looked very strong at that time, without any sickness.
In the film, he is murderous, coupled with his domineering smoking posture and personalized beard, so that the audience can once again see his acting skills.
Before starring in this drama, he actually received an invitation to a movie in the mainland, and the salary was very attractive, as high as 7 figures.
However, in order to make up for his regret, Wu Tingye directly rejected the 7-figure salary and chose to return to TVB for filming.
At that time, he also participated in an interview, in which he restored why he was rejected by TVB back then, and said that he regretted it very much and didn't understand why he did it back then.
If he had successfully developed in TVB back then, he might be an actor now, but there was no if, fortunately, he also fulfilled his wish back then!
Write at the end
In fact, in addition to filming in Hong Kong, Wu Tingye has also starred in many films and television in the mainland, such as "One Heart" in "The Moon Knife at the End of the World", Zheng Zainong in "The Laughter of the Hospital 2", and Fong Tianyou in "The Legend of Wing Chun......
Because of a wrong decision back then, Wu Tingye changed the trajectory of his life, but maybe this was not an accident but the arrangement of fate.
In recent years, there have not been many works by Wu Tingye, and he has devoted all his energy to taking care of his mother, relying on his mother for his life, and occasionally appearing in photos with many Hong Kong stars.
Seeing his recent photos, I have to sigh, our youth is also old!
