1. In the 90s, the Hong Kong film industry was prosperous and brilliant, and "Crazy Boy 1" stood at the top by chance
In those exciting 90s, the Hong Kong film industry was like a shining pearl, with directors as a source of creativity, shooting a variety of films with a wide variety of genres, and audiences were full of endless love and anticipation for new and interesting content.
As a giant in the Hong Kong film industry, director Wang Jing has created more than 10 masterpieces in just one year, and his astonishing production speed is a legend in the industry!
In such a free and open creative environment, the "Crazy Boy" series came into being and has become a unique landscape in the history of Hong Kong cinema.
In particular, the production conditions of the first "Crazy Boy 1" were extremely difficult, and even the live radio did not achieve the desired effect, all the actors used improvisational methods, and the position of the camera was even more elusive.
However, amazingly, the film was successfully filmed and released in only seven days, which instantly aroused an enthusiastic response from the audience and quickly became popular in Hong Kong.
Director Wang Jing himself did not expect that this seemingly rough work would be able to profoundly affect the youth of several generations. The hot-blooded stories depicted in the film, as well as the touching love scenes, deeply touched the hearts of the audience.
After watching the film, many young viewers even chose to embark on the road of crime and devote themselves to underworld organizations, which shows that the far-reaching influence of the "Crazy Boy" series is really impossible to ignore.
It was such a poorly made but unexpectedly hugely successful film that ushered in a very distinctive golden age for the Hong Kong film industry. The directors were able to unleash their imagination without any constraints, which gave birth to many classics.
And the "Crazy Boy" series is undoubtedly an outstanding representative of it, which has had a profound impact on the life trajectory of countless audiences.
Second, the ups and downs of the little stammer's life course
In the "Crazy Boy" series, one of the characters loved by the audience is the little stutterer played by Li Zi. This innocent and lovely girl made wonderful appearances in the first to third parts, and the love story between her and the male protagonist Chen Haonan earned enough tears from the audience.
Li Zi herself became famous for playing this role and became a high-profile film and television star at that time.
According to director Wu Zhixiong, the prototype character of the little stuttering character is based on the real experience of his own wife. This kind and gentle woman finally suffered a misfortune in the movie and died at the hands of the wicked crow, which made the audience grief.
However, in real life, Laizi's encounter is not as flawless as portrayed in the movie. In 2007, when his 5-year-old brother was in a serious car accident, his life was in jeopardy, and the huge cost of treatment was like an insurmountable mountain in front of her.
As a female star who was so popular in the film industry at that time, Li Zi couldn't afford to bear this heavy burden even if she had the heart to help.
At this difficult moment, Ma Tingqiang, known as "Hong Kong's second-generation lame man", stepped forward and did not hesitate to lend a helping hand to Li Zi and went all out to help her through this difficult time.
In the face of this deep gratitude, Li Zi finally made a major decision - to marry Ma Tingqiang, and resolutely announced her retirement from the entertainment industry, which is diametrically opposed to the tragic ending in the movie, and she found her own happy home in real life.
Since then, this former golden boy and girl has embarked on a new journey in life. She is no longer the female star who shines in the film industry, but has transformed into a shrewd and capable business woman.
She decisively gave up her acting career and devoted herself to the management of her career, showing a different style and charm.
Compared with the bumpy fate of the little stutterer in the movie, Li Zi's life can be described as full of twists and turns. From an innocent and kind girl, who has gone through the test of life and death, and finally found the other side of happiness, her life course is undoubtedly more exciting than the plot of the movie.
This kind of ups and downs in real life undoubtedly makes the character of Little Stutter more emotionally deep. When the audience is enjoying the movie, it is inevitable that they will think of Li Zi's real experience, so as to have a deeper resonance and emotional identification with this character.
3. The emotional adventures of Karen Mok, the daughter of the pastor
In the "Crazy Boy" series of films, another female character who has left a deep impression on people is the pastor's daughter played by Karen Mok. This girl with a tenacious personality who dares to be an enemy of anyone in order to protect her beloved boyfriend Pheasant has always been firmly with every corner of the story of the "Crazy Boy" series.
In real life, Karen Mok's love life is also full of legends. Before participating in the "Crazy Boy" series, she had an unforgettable love affair with Stephen Chow, the king of comedy at the time.
Subsequently, she started a nine-year romantic love run with the famous actor Feng Delun.
However, in the end, Karen Mok chose to enter the marriage hall with her foreign boyfriend, whom she had known since she was 17 years old. After countless emotional twists and turns, Karen Mok finally found her own happiness, and she expressed her satisfaction and cherished this hard-won happiness.
This colorful emotional journey makes the character played by Karen Mok more realistic! Just imagine, the woman who showed courage and courage on the screen must have gone through countless ups and downs in real life, right?
In stark contrast to the character played by Karen Mok, another film superstar Qiu Shuzhen, portrayed Ding Yao in "Crazy Boy". She is both beautiful and ambitious, and has an unusual personality.
Sometimes gentle as water, sometimes ruthless, it finally reveals the insidious cunning in her heart.
However, unexpectedly, Qiu Shuzhen herself also ushered in a major turning point in her life in 1991. It was in that year that she tied the knot with Shen Jiawei under the recommendation of the well-known actor Leslie Cheung, and resolutely decided to quit the showbiz.
Such a life experience undoubtedly makes the audience appreciate Qiu Shuzhen's superb acting skills in the film, and can't help but think of her various situations in real life. Compared with Karen Mok's wandering, Qiu Shuzhen chose a stable family life.
This choice also gives Ding Yao's role a deeper connotation.
Overall, the wonderful performances of the two outstanding actresses Mok Wenwei and Qiu Shuzhen in the film left an indelible impression on the audience. And their emotional experience in real life undoubtedly enriches the inner spirit of these characters, so that the audience can understand the inner world of these characters more deeply in the process of enjoying the movie.
Fourth, the life experiences of other actresses
In addition, there are many other female characters in the "Crazy Boy" series, although there are relatively few scenes, but they also leave a deep impression on the audience.
Among them, the role of Keen is played by Chen Xiuru. In the first part of "Crazy Boy", she played the girlfriend of the pheasant, but she had a relationship with Chen Haonan because she was drugged by Liangkun, which led to the conflict between the pheasant and Chen Haonan's brothers.
Although this role is not the main role, Chen Xiuru has won a warm welcome from the audience with her excellent acting skills. However, since the release of the film, her subsequent works have received a mediocre response, and she finally chose to marry a wife and emigrate overseas, and there has been no news since.
And Fang Ting, played by Li Shuxian, also plays a pivotal female role in the "Crazy Boy" series. The image of Jiang Tiansheng's star girlfriend she created in this work, although the role is limited, but with her unique charming charm, she has successfully made countless audiences unforgettable.
It is worth mentioning that in 1995, Li Shuxian won the runner-up of the Miss Asia beauty pageant. then stepped into the stage of his acting career, but the influence of his works was generally unsatisfactory. Until 1998, she resolutely chose to tie the knot with kung fu superstar Lu Huiguang, and had two sons after marriage, and since then she has faded out of the film industry.
Compared with the life trajectories of the two actresses, Li Shuxian and Fang Ting, it seems bland. Although they have left a deep mark on "Crazy Boy", they have always kept a low profile in their lives off the screen.
Whether they choose to start a family in a foreign country, or say goodbye to the entertainment industry and return to their families, the situation these women face in real life is very different from the fate they show in the film.
The experiences of the above two actresses undoubtedly reveal the true face of many ordinary characters in the film and television industry. Not everyone can be like the protagonist in "Crazy Boy" and make memorable moments in the movie, and then become a shining star.
Some people are only insignificant characters even on screen, and their real-life situations are often uneventful.
The life journey of these ordinary actresses may be a vivid portrayal of the huge gap between film and reality. When the audience enjoys the movie, they are often affected by the fate of the protagonist, but they often ignore the hardships of those supporting actors.
Only by in-depth understanding of the real lives of these actresses can we truly feel that the glory in the film is not for everyone.
5. The chic life of "Thirteen Sisters" Wu Junru
In the "Crazy Boy" series, another female character who is loved by the audience is the "Thirteenth Sister" played by Wu Junru. This woman with a cold personality and a majestic atmosphere between her eyebrows has deeply attracted the attention of many audiences with her uninhibited temperament.
However, what is surprising is that in real life, Wu Junru's own personality has a striking resemblance to the thirteenth sister. Since 2004, she has started a long career of living together with the famous director Chen Kexin, and has not yet entered the marriage hall.
She once confessed: "I don't need a marriage letter, because it's just nostalgia for the past." "
So far, the precious daughter of this loving couple has reached the age of 16, however, although Chen Kexin has repeatedly expressed his affection and proposed to Wu Junru, unfortunately, he still has not been able to win the heart of this extraordinary wife.
This kind of spiritual outlook of pursuing true self and bravely breaking away from the shackles of traditional concepts is reminiscent of the tough and indifferent female character she created in "The Man Who Troubled Boy in the Rivers and Lakes".
There is no doubt that it is precisely because Wu Junru has this tenacious perseverance and open-mindedness from the bottom of her heart that she can interpret the role of the thirteenth sister so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. She brings out the personality traits of this female character vividly and unforgettable.
In addition, Wu Junru's choices in real life undoubtedly give a deeper connotation to this role. She chooses to be independent and refuses to be subject to the conventional rules of society, and this firm belief is highly consistent with the character traits of the thirteenth sister.
In the hearts of the audience, the role of the thirteenth sister is like a mirror of Wu Junru, reflecting many characteristics in her heart. And Wu Junru's various actions in real life further enrich and deepen the image of this character.
There is no doubt that there is a striking similarity between Wu Junru and the character of Thirteen Sisters in terms of personality traits and outlook on life. This close connection not only makes Wu Junru's performance skills more exquisite, but also makes this role one of the most classic female images in the audience's minds.
Compared with many actresses who have entered the marriage hall or experienced twists and turns in their love life, Wu Junru has chosen a unique path. She maintains a long-term and stable partnership with the famous director Chen Kexin, but she politely refuses the shackles of marriage, and this kind of spiritual outlook of pursuing her true self and freedom is even more reminiscent of the cold and arrogant female characters she created on the screen.
It is precisely because of Wu Junru's persistence in emotional freedom in real life that she has established a deeper connection with the role of Thirteen Sisters. While appreciating this role, the audience can also feel the unique temperament of Wu Junru more deeply.
Therefore, we have reason to believe that it is Wu Junru's own uninhibited uninhibition that makes the role of the thirteenth sister she created one of the most representative female images in the "Crazy Boy" series of movies.
In the popular Asian film "Crazy Boy" series, there is a female character who is loved by the audience - KK, the girlfriend of Da Tianer, who is played by the powerful actress Tan Xiaohuan.
This woman full of a sense of justice and love and righteousness, for the man she loves, she is not afraid to challenge her brother, her heroic performance is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every audience In fact, Tan Xiaohuan's own life journey is as bright and charming as a movie character In 1994, this woman with extraordinary temperament won the crown of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, and since then she has stepped on the Avenue of Fame, whether in the field of acting career or music, she has achieved remarkable results.
In the emotional world, Tan Xiaohuan seems to be a little impulsive, and has announced her retirement from the showbiz several times until 2007, she finally found true love, tied the knot with her husband Cai Qiangrong, who is engaged in the insurance industry, and has lived a happy life since thenSoon after marriage, Tan Xiaohuan resolutely decided to leave the showbiz and join her husband to run a small stall selling fish balls However, who would have expected that this inconspicuous small stall would gradually grow and become a well-known chain brand "Slag Brother", with six branches in Hong Kong for a period of time!
This inspirational story can't help but remind people of Tan Xiaohuan's role in "Crazy Boy" In the film, in order to support her beloved, KK did not hesitate to turn against her brother, showing a rare chivalrous courage, and in real life, Tan Xiaohuan also successfully got rid of the excessive pursuit of fame and fortune, and chose a new life path, from the former Hong Kong sister champion, to today's small business operator, her life trajectory is undoubtedly impressive, perhaps because of this, Tan Xiaohuan can interpret the role of KK so vividly, she portrays this kind and brave female image vividly, making the audience unforgettable In addition, Tan Xiaohuan's counterattack journey in real life, undoubtedly injected a deeper connotation into the role of KK, she returned from a bright and dazzling star, to an ordinary life, but always maintained a positive attitude, this transformation is a perfect fit with KK's personality traits in the movie.
Obviously, there is a deep and close connection between the two characters of Tan Xiaohuan and KK. Regardless of their age, they all show a rare and touching kindness and courage, which not only inspires respect from the audience, but also makes them establish an indelible image of women in the hearts of the audience.
Chapter 7 Looking back at the bright actresses in classic Hong Kong films
When we re-examine the deeply rooted female characters in the "Crazy Boy" series, we can't help but sigh that their fates in the film are different, and their lives in the real world are equally colorful.
Some female stars rose to fame with their roles in the film, and then stepped into wealthy families and gradually faded out of public view, such as Li Jiaxin. She created the image of a gentle and innocent middle school teacher in "The Battle of the Troubled Boys", and had an emotional entanglement with the male protagonist Chen Haonan.
However, in real life, after Li Jiaxin chose to marry into a wealthy family, she rarely appeared in public.
while the other part of the actresses chose to leave the showbiz and devote themselves to family life. For example, Li Zi and Tan Xiaohuan, the former accidentally met "Lame Hao" because of his younger brother's car accident, and finally chose to marry him, thus bidding farewell to his acting career;
At the same time, there are also some actresses who have experienced ups and downs on the road of relationship, but finally found their own happiness, such as Karen Mok. The actress who played the "pastor's daughter" in "Crazy Boy" once had a relationship with Stephen Chow and Feng Delun, but finally chose to marry her first love when she was 17 years old.
No matter how the trajectory of their lives changes, the stories of these actresses leave a lasting impression. The distinctive characters they played in the film not only had a profound impact on the audience, but also changed the direction of their own lives to a certain extent.
Through the life journey of these actresses, we have to sigh that the stories in life are often more ups and downs than movies. Their joys and sorrows, successes and setbacks are all true depictions of life.
The magical and imaginative fictional scenes in the movies can certainly attract us to delve into them, but the real stories that happen in real life can resonate and move us deeply.
The extraordinary life journey experienced by these outstanding female actors has undoubtedly injected a deeper and richer connotation into the "Crazy Boy" series of films, and when we are keen to appreciate those tense and exciting plot developments, we can also truly feel the grandeur and ups and downs presented by the real world.
