In 1973, "Enter the Dragon" appeared on the big screen. After the film was released, with its sharp fights and unique kung fu style, it instantly caused great repercussions around the world.
At this time, Chiba Shinichi, who was far away in Japan, was deeply impressed by Bruce Lee's kung fu charm after watching this film. After thinking about it all night, Chiba Shinichi decided to go to Hong Kong in person to visit "Kung Fu Superstar" Bruce Lee.
So, after getting up the next day, Shinichi Chiba put on his most decent suit and got on a plane to Hong Kong.
But what Chiba Shinichi didn't expect was that when he got off the plane and walked out of the airport, a piece of news was inserted on TV: The famous film and television superstar and kung fu master Bruce Lee died suddenly at a friend's house on July 20....
The sudden bad news made Chiba Shinichi unbearable. He came here with admiration, but he didn't expect that as soon as he set foot on this land, he heard this sad news. So, he didn't stop any longer, and got on the plane back to Japan in despair.
Many years later, Shinichi Chiba, who has become an action superstar, suddenly received a phone call while eating at home. The voice on the other end of the phone told him that they were directors from Hong Kong, China, and wanted to ask Chiba Shinichi to go to Hong Kong to make a martial arts movie.
After hearing this, Chiba Shinichi's thoughts couldn't help but go back to the past, and he saw the figure that made him yearn for and worship so much that he couldn't help but say "good" three times in a row!
As a result, the classic role of the screen generation "Xiongba" was released.
1.
Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, 1939. A young boy named Kachiho Maeda was born here.
The name Kashiho Maeda accompanied the little boy for a long time, and later, after he entered the entertainment industry and became an actor, he changed his name to Shinichi Chiba.
When Shinichi Chiba was born, his family conditions were not bad. You can eat fresh ingredients that can be used to make delicious dishes, and you can also wear clothes that are shiny and comfortable.
And the economic resources that support all this come from Chiba Shinichi's father.
Shinichi Chiba's father was a military man. When Shinichi Chiba was born, his father was serving in the Army Flying Corps and was a test pilot specializing in testing the flight performance of aircraft, with a very good and stable income.
Later, after the army was disbanded, Chiba's father lost this stable income and was forced to work in the fishermen's union. And the living conditions of Chiba Zhen's family have plummeted as a result, falling into poverty.
It is said that "poverty makes people miserable, and pain makes people precocious", and this sentence is very suitable for Chiba Shinichi.
Because when he was 6 years old, he already felt the importance of money, and began to learn to help his mother share some of the worries of life.
At first, Chiba Shinichi didn't know how to share it. It wasn't until every time he saw his father hand over all his wages to his mother, and his mother was happy, he understood how to share the burden.
So, starting the next morning, Chiba Shinichi ran to the milk shop and asked the shopkeeper if he wanted him to help deliver milk? The shopkeeper saw the immature Chiba Shinichi, and he was distressed and funny, but in order not to hurt the little boy's heart, the shopkeeper agreed, and asked Chiba Shinichi to help him deliver milk, and he paid Chiba Shinichi some meager remuneration.
After earning some extra money by delivering milk, Chiba Shinichi also has some experience in making money. Immediately, in the process of delivering milk, he looked elsewhere.
Among them, there is one job that Chiba Shinichi feels is very suitable, and that is to deliver newspapers. It doesn't take much effort to deliver the newspaper, and it doesn't delay his work of delivering milk, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.
So, in the process of delivering milk, Chiba Shinichi took on the odd job of delivering newspapers.
It was in this part-time job that Shinichi Chiba finished his elementary school and officially entered middle school.
In middle school, Shinichi Chiba gave up his part-time job and became obsessed with sports, joining the school's gymnastics team and training in various sports such as volleyball, track and field, and baseball.
Rigorous training, combined with Shinichi Chiba's own sturdy and tall physique, allowed him to excel in all sports.
This kind of excellence couldn't help but make Chiba Shinichi's physical education teacher look at him differently, and the idea of letting Chiba Shinichi go to the Japanese National Gymnastics Championships rose in his heart.
Shinichi Chiba was also very interested in the idea proposed by his teacher, after all, he was crazy about practicing gymnastics in order to compete in the Olympics one day.
Therefore, after some deliberation, the school decided to strengthen the training intensity of Chiba Shinichi and conduct professional guidance and training.
As the saying goes, there will be a reward for your efforts!
When Shinichi Chiba was in the third year of junior high school, he won the Japanese National Gymnastics Championships in one fell swoop with his excellent skills and strong physical qualities, laying a solid stepping stone for his future sports dreams.
And because of this, after graduating from Chiba Shinichi High School, he was successfully admitted to Nippon Sports University and successfully became a student of the Department of Physical Education.
However, although Chiba Shinichi's journey is going well, problems also arise in this suitability.
First of all, the first problem that made Chiba Shinichi feel difficult was the tuition fee for his university.
The income of his parents can only barely support the family's life, and even if he can grit his teeth and squeeze out a little for him, he can only barely make up enough tuition and miscellaneous fees, which is not a little short of the huge amount of tuition.
In order to continue his dream and make up enough tuition, Chiba Shinichi finally chose to go to the construction site to do part-time work in his spare time as an excavator.
As everyone knows, it is precisely because of this high-intensity physical work that he indirectly lost his sports dream!
2.
In 1958, Shinichi Chiba, a sophomore at Nippon Sports University, practiced vaulting training during class.
At first, this project that was often practiced, Chiba Shinichi completed it smoothly, and nothing went wrong. But after practicing many times, perhaps because Chiba Shinichi, who had spent too much physical strength on the construction site, suddenly felt a little swinging in his body during the practice.
After many times of practice, Chiba Shinichi was familiar with the techniques, so he didn't take it seriously. But what Chiba Shinichi didn't expect was that when he jumped up from the vault and was about to complete the final landing, an accident happened! His legs did not stand firmly on the ground, and this caused his knees and waist to be hit when he landed, which instantly made Chiba Shinichi feel unbearable pain.
Afterwards, when Chiba Shinichi was sent to the hospital for treatment, the attending doctor gave Chiba Shin a verdict on the spot: the injury was serious, and he was forbidden to exercise various sports and participate in various sports-related sports competitions in the future.
Let this result undoubtedly give Chiba Shinichi a blow in the face! His dreams and future dissipated like a wisp of green smoke in an instant. He couldn't accept such a result!
So, with boundless grief, Chiba Shinichi packed his bags and prepared to go home, going to the harbor where he was born and raised to silently heal his pain.
But as the saying goes: the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
When Shinichi Chiba was walking on his way home, he saw a poster. The poster reads: Toei is looking for actors, welcome to apply.
Seeing this information, Chiba Shinichi was stunned in place for a long time. He doesn't know if he has the potential to be an actor, and he doesn't know if he will be selected if he signs up!
However, in the end, Chiba Shinichi still figured it out: no matter what the outcome is, his situation will definitely not be worse than the current one.
So, Chiba Shinichi gave up the idea of going home and turned around and went to Toei to register.
And at this time, the advantages of Chiba Shinichi's sports students are highlighted. The masculine and healthy spirit is like standing out from the crowd of candidates, and it is liked by the examiner at a glance.
In this way, Shinichi Chiba was successfully admitted to Toei Company.
Later, Chiba Shinichi learned that there were more than 26,000 people who signed up with him at that time, and only about 20 people were selected in the end.
Being chosen among so many people, Shinichi Chiba couldn't help but be surprised and admired by how lucky he was.
After that, Chiba Shinichi entered the actor training class held by the company and began to learn acting.
In 1960, Shinichi Chiba, who came out of the actor training class, immediately got a chance to appear in a TV series with his excellent image.
Although it is only a small accessory role, it is the first role of Chiba Shinichi, and he officially started his career as an actor with this role.
Perhaps because of the unhappiness on the road of sports, Shinichi Chiba's luck is concentrated on the road of an actor.
In the same year that he finished his first role, a great Japanese director approached Shinichi Chiba and asked Shinichi Chiba to star in his movie "The Detective of the Wind Workshop" as the leading actor.
With this movie, Chiba Shinichi became popular overnight and successfully opened up his popularity.
After that, after Chiba Shinichi starred in several movies and TV in succession, he transformed into an action actor because of the global flourishing action, and successfully hit a market.
However, for Chinese audiences, knowing Chiba Shinichi is all because of the role of "Xiongba" in "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World".
And that was in 1998.
In 1998, director Liu Weiqiang called Chiba Shinichi who was far away in Japan and invited him to play "Xiongba". Chiba Shinichi readily agreed, and then flew to Hong Kong and began his journey of "dominating professional households".
is also because the role of "Xiongba" is too successful, Chiba Shinichi was nominated for Best Actor at the 18th Hong Kong Film Awards, becoming the first foreign actor to be nominated in the history of the Academy Awards.
