Xu Shaoxiong, 75 years old and known as "Benz Xiong", has been in the entertainment industry for more than half a century and has made many sets of popular film and television works.

The most powerful thing is that he has masterpieces in each period-

The dramas are: "Uncle Dong" in "Senior Brother Xinzha", "Xiangshan Nan" in "My Sheng Lady", and "Brother Huanxi" in "Apostle Walker......

Movies include: "Huang Qifa" in "Dark War" and "Fang Zhong Sir" in "Xinzha Senior Sister", etc., which can be said to accompany the growth of several generations.

Although all of them are supporting roles, Xu Shaoxiong plays every role in style, and his superb acting skills are praised by the audience as "a green leaf that is better than a flower".

And this good actor with a funny and humorous personality, in addition to being a good husband and father in private, his family background is even more shocking, no wonder netizens laugh at him as the "inheritor of family glory".

【Illustrious family background jade ruyi as a toy】

Xu Shaoxiong's background is very fierce.

The ancestor was Xu Baiting, the head of the four major salt merchants in Guangzhou, and the prince Xu Ying's official residence was an important minister of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Uncle Xu Chongzhi was a veteran of the Kuomintang and a confidant of Sun Yat-sen, who founded the Whampoa Military Academy with Chiang Kai-shek and others.

And the most well-known is that his aunt is Xu Guangping, the wife of Lu Xun, a modern Chinese writer.

However, Xu Shaoxiong bluntly said that there was nothing left in his generation, and he was silent: "Compared to them, there are really big trees with withered branches, and there are beggars in the clan, and I am withered branches and beggars, and I am really far from them." ”

Hong Kong-born Hui Siu-hung returned to Guangzhou with his father's family to do business when he was about 1 year old.

Although Xu Shaoxiong said that life was similar to that of ordinary children, his childhood toys were some sachets, jade ruyi and other palace items that are now placed in the museum: "At that time, those sachets, jade ruyi, etc. were really played with toys, and they knew a fart when they were young!" ”

[Childhood naughty twice almost died]

And this "Prince of Gaodi Street" said that he was very naughty when he was a child, and when he was 2 or 3 years old, he tried to play and accidentally poured a large pot of hot boiling water on his body, and his entire left body was almost burned.

"I still have the impression that the weather was very hot at that time, but I had to apply the ointment, as if I was wearing a cotton jacket on the upper body, because my father knew someone and found some foreign ointment, so it was fine, and then I heard from adults that some children were burned like this at that time, and they had already passed away."

Another time Xu Shaoxiong spread a mat at home and held a bamboo scholar to support the boat, but unexpectedly, the screen glass on the roof was knocked down by his long bamboo, and the glass went straight into his face, and since then he has an extra scar on the left side.

"At that time, the glass was not rotten, but I was, and the glass was stuck in the middle of my (left) face and between my eyes, and if I had been blind, I would have died, but I had not died."

The two experiences show that Xu Shaoxiong is destined to be blessed and fateful, but he said with a smile: "There is no way, life is hard, and it has survived until now." ”

[Sign up for the wireless art training class and look "strange" and be admitted]

In 1958, Xu Shaoxiong moved back to Hong Kong with his family, but his life changed, because he couldn't take the things with him in Guangzhou, his father, who was originally doing business, became a working boy, and everything started again, which also gave Xu Shaoxiong a taste of life for the first time.

However, he said that children are easy to get used to: "Fortunately, my father used to have some connections in Guangzhou, and when he returned to Hong Kong, there was a gold shop that was willing to give us credit first, and then pay us back when we made money, so we started to do business again." ”

Later, while helping in his father's shop, Xu Shaoxiong was greedy to apply for the wireless artist training class. He said that he spent 5 yuan on the registration fee at that time, and he was bent on visiting the TV station, but in the end, he didn't expect that even he was selected, and since then he has joined the first artist training class of TVB and started his career as an actor for more than half a century.

The first phase of the Wireless Artist Training Course

Xu Shaoxiong smiled and said: "I looked very nuclear at that time, like a thief, not as kind as now, at that time, being an actor had to be a beautiful girl, just like Hu Feng, Xie Xian, Xiao Fangfang, Chen Baozhu, etc., how could I have thought that I would be admitted, I later suspected that maybe there was no one who played a thief in that era, you are like a thief." ”

"I still remember that I had to take the test twice, the first time was to read the lines and look at the outline of your appearance, and after passing, the second time I had to act in some skits and singing, of course my singing voice was not good. But I didn't expect to look like a thief, and I couldn't enter the training class with a bad singing voice, so I was destined to complain. ”

asked if they were all from famous families, did their family oppose joining the entertainment industry at that time? Xu Shaoxiong bluntly said no, his parents are very open-minded, it doesn't matter: "As long as you don't do bad things, it's okay." ”

[Don't mind suffering, I've never thought of competing to be the protagonist]

And Xie Rixin, the head teacher of the training class at that time, had a sentence that Xu Shaoxiong still remembers: "He said: 'Stupid, stupid', if you are stupid, someone will look for you, if you are fine, no one will look for you, have you ever heard of 'Jing'?" I said yes, I haven't heard of 'semen'. In fact, what he means is that it doesn't matter if you suffer a loss, don't be afraid of loss, in the end, you will have benefits. ”

Attitude determines height, and it is this mentality that is not afraid of losses that really makes Xu Shaoxiong change an endless stream of job opportunities, coupled with the characteristics of being an entertainer by nature, which makes him loved by the audience.

Although he has been playing a supporting role for many years, Xu Shaoxiong doesn't mind at all, and he never thinks about being the protagonist.

He also has a personal opinion on this: "I never thought about being the protagonist, it's very hard, and I find trouble for myself." Maybe my personality is naturally lazy, I don't have to sleep, and you don't have to watch more, why make yourself so hard. ”

Don't mind being a supporting role all the time? He said: "I want to win or lose now, for example, if that drama is good at the box office, I have a role in acting, if that drama is not good at the box office, it's my business!" That's the main character's business, haha. ”

[Back then, blowing water with Chow Yun-fat's restaurant, praising Tony Leung for knowing how to enjoy and being diligent]

In addition to accompanying audiences of different generations to grow up, many actors he has worked with have now become actors, actresses and actresses; Look at the emperor, look at the after.

Talking about his collaboration with Chow Yun-fat and Cheng Yuling in "People in the Net", Hui Shaoxiong said that all the actors at that time were very good friends and very crazy, and they started work at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone returned to the restaurant at 12 noon.

Fa Ge used to be very friendly as he is now, everyone talks and laughs, often blows water in the restaurant, and is reluctant to leave after work, waiting for everyone to go to supper, as if there is no warmth at home: "At that time, I had a great sense of belonging, and I mingled up and down." ”

But it must be the "Uncle Winter" of "Senior Brother Xinzha" that made Xu Shaoxiong successfully enter the house, the character is kind and close to the ground, and it is very popular.

In the play, Xu Shaoxiong plays Tony Leung's uncle, and the two have a lot of rivalry scenes, he pointed out that Tony Leung was very diligent when he started, he would do his best to do a good job, and he would enjoy it when he played in private.

"He really enjoyed life, and I remember he invited two or two of me to Shangri-La for dinner, and at that time it seemed like a few hundred yuan for a set dinner per person. (Why would he invite you to dinner?) It's nothing, it's just that everybody can talk about it. ”

[Nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" at the Academy Awards for "Dark War"]

In terms of films, Hui Shaoxiong also has many masterpieces, and was nominated for the "Best Supporting Actor" at the Hong Kong Film Awards for playing the timid and fearful "Huang Qiqi" in "Dark War".

He admitted that he didn't expect it and felt very lucky: "I'm very lucky, I'm not the protagonist, movies and TV series are not the protagonists, they are all second-tier, but I have a lot of masterpieces, but many protagonists, many people don't remember which set of plays he played as the protagonist." ”

Xu Shaoxiong smiled and said that he remembered that "Dark War" took two years from the start of filming to the end of filming, and there was a long pause in the middle: "You know the character of Adu (Johnny To), he started work only when he thought of it, and he didn't start work if he didn't think of it, and when he asked me to start work again, I thought it was going to start a second play." ”

When it comes to Johnny To's fame and popularity, he will be rough on the set. Xu Shaoxiong bluntly said yes, sometimes the staff can't get it right all day, and it is indeed time to scold, but he pointed out that the other party rarely "greets" the actors.

"At most, sometimes when the acting is not to his liking, he will slap in and say, 'it!' There are really a lot of people who are afraid of him, but I'm not afraid. ”

The "Fang Zhong Sir" in "Xinzha Senior Sister" has established Xu Shaoxiong's funny image, and the sentence "Go Go Go" in the play has become a classic dialogue, and the classic degree is that the picture has already surfaced in his mind.

But it turned out that the phrase "Go Go Go" was improvised by Xu Shaoxiong: "At that time, I wanted to do something while walking, so I might as well just call two sentences, but I didn't expect 'Go' to come out again." ”

In another scene, Zhou Cong asked him how to write the word "Sir" in "Fang Zhong Sir", which has also become a classic scene.

Xu Shaoxiong didn't expect that so many people would like this scene, "This scene was originally in the script, everyone just took this scene very seriously, especially Uncle Zhou, everyone didn't think it was funny at the time, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good." ”

[Won the award at the TVB Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony for three consecutive years]

As for Hui Shaoxiong, the most powerful thing is that he won the award at the Wireless Thousands of Stars Award Ceremony for three consecutive years.

He first won the "Outstanding Actor Award" in 2012, and then won "Best Supporting Actor" and "Most Popular TV Actor" in 2013 and "Apostle Walker" in 2013 and 2014 respectively, bringing his career to the peak.

Among them, Xu Shaoxiong and Huang Zihua have cooperated many times in the drama "My Sheng Lady".

Regarding netizens' accusations that the two will spark when they walk together, Xu Shaoxiong also admitted that the two are very suitable, and laughed that this old friend is very strict and never sloppy in his work: "He is a demanding person, he will not be casual, I am just casual." ”

The following year, Xu Shaoxiong became popular all over China, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia with the "Brother Huanxi" of "Apostle Walker", even if he died in the play, the sequel would resurrect him.

Xu Shaoxiong didn't expect this character to become popular, and so far, whether in the mainland, or even in Malaysia and Singapore, the audience will call him "Brother Huanxi" when they see him.

But Hui has always modestly attributed the success of the role to producer Man Wai-hung, who said that he just followed what the other party told him to do, and did it by coincidence.

[Falling in love with Charmaine Sheh, a deed girl, made fun of each other's long-term singleness]

And the father-daughter relationship established between him and Charmaine Sheh in the drama "Make" continues outside the play, not only did She say in the variety show that she felt the long-lost father's love from him, and the two also signed a contract.

Xu Shaoxiong bluntly said that sometimes people are co-production, and the tacit understanding between him and A She is innate, and the two have co-starred as father and daughter many times, knowing that this filming of "The Inheritor of Family Glory" was only on the contract.

"Before filming started, she called me and said, 'Old Dou, I'll be your daughter again in this play.'" At that time, I didn't agree to take the film, she asked me to act, and then I said okay, okay, I said that it is better to simply go to the contract, and that's how they got married. ”

Xu Shaoxiong praised this deed girl for not only playing well, but also being righteous and unscrupulous, which is good to everyone.

Smile and ask if you will introduce some boys to Ah She, who is still single? He laughs: "One time I made fun of being single after so long, and she said, 'Hey! You underestimate me, old Dou! How do you know I don't? Actually, maybe not. ”

[Last year's marriage had a happy event in the family]

In addition to being a good actor, Xu Shaoxiong is also a good father and husband.

At the end of last year, his family had a happy event and was promoted to father-in-law, and he was asked if he was reluctant to regard his beloved daughter (Xu Huijing) as a "pearl in the palm of his hand"?

As soon as Xu Shaoxiong heard that his daughter had immediately revealed his signature smile with crooked eyes, he said chicly: "Maybe I have filmed many times to marry a girl, and it turns out that it feels really similar." Some people say that they are reluctant, they are all crazy, what is there to be reluctant to, what is so jealous! But of course it's fun. ”

Xu Shaoxiong also said that the relationship between father and daughter is so good that no matter how busy he is at work, he has not forgotten his daughter's birthday, "but my wife has it, and I don't remember our wedding anniversary." ”

However, it can make Xu Shaoxiong concentrate on fighting hard in his career, and his wife Long Yan is absolutely indispensable.

The two got married in 92, and after marriage, Long Yan married each other and taught children to take care of the family.

Xu Shaoxiong said that when he went to Singapore to take the stage, he met his wife through a friend's introduction, and was attracted by the other party's beauty, so he took the initiative to pursue: "She is a very beautiful girl!" ”

Ask what you feel is attractive to the other person? Xu Shaoxiong said humorously: "I think she is unlucky and blind, haha." ”

As for being married for many years, will there be a romantic side to his wife? Xu Shaoxiong smiled and said: "No, my shortcoming is that I don't know how to coax people." ”

However, he also said that if a marriage can last for more than 30 years, it is important to accommodate each other.

In addition, when his wife married Xu Shaoxiong, he already had a child who was a few years old, but Xu Shaoxiong not only didn't mind, but also regarded his stepson as his own for many years.

"We have a good conversation between father and son, and even though he is in Australia now, he calls back a lot. What's there to mind about, if you mind, don't like people, don't think so old. And we (with my stepson) are really good, no one asks him, he automatically calls me 'Lao Dou'. ”
