For audiences who love Hong Kong films, such hot actors as Dillon, David Jiang and Er Dongsheng must be familiar. But when it comes to their old rival Gu Feng, just saying the name may be relatively unfamiliar to everyone, but if you add Chen Xiaochun's version of "Deer Ding" in the scheming Hai Dafu, you will definitely issue an exclamation like "it was him"
Sea rich
He is the actor with the highest appearance rate in Shaw's films that year, has participated in the performance of more than three hundred film and television works, created countless classic roles, is the royal supporting actor of Shaw's famous director Li Hanxiang and Zhang Che, and his amazing acting skills have allowed him to defend the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor for two consecutive years, saying that he is the "king of Shaw's supporting roles" is by no means excessive, today we will understand the old Shaw drama bones that focus on supporting roles
Gu Feng, formerly known as Chen Siwen, was born in Shanghai in the 1930s, and then moved his family to Hong Kong to live due to livelihood problems, in the early years, he got a job selling songs in the Liyuan Playground with his own distinctive rural tone, but the meager income made it difficult for him to maintain his life, and later under the introduction of friends, he entered the film industry that was developing at that time
In 1965, he was valued by Shaw's famous director Li Hanxiang, Gu Feng officially joined Shaw to become a basic actor, in that era of eating by acting skills, although he did not receive professional training, but with the experience of singing on stage, Gu Feng quickly mastered the know-how of acting, reaching the point where he could understand the role at a glance at the script
In The most brilliant time of Shao's family, Gu Feng starred in hundreds of movies and more than fifty TV series, acting is old and spicy, good and evil, whether it is the prince general or the low-level characters are all out of the question, take Zhang Che's classic film "One-Armed Knife" trilogy, Gu Laozi actually starred in three different character images
Initially, Gu Feng starred in "One-Armed Knife" Fang Gang's father Fang Cheng, which is a positive role that integrates loyal and beloved sons, and in the follow-up "One-Armed Knife King", Gu Feng changed his previous decent image and played a villain who showed his bald head, Hercules Jiao Feng, who did things fiercely and murderously, and then to the "New One-Armed Knife" in the last part of the trilogy, Gu Feng even integrated the positive and negative images of the first two roles
In the play, Gu Feng plays the famous hero Long Yizhi in the jianghu, who is full of benevolence and morality on the surface. Behind him, in order to maintain his position as the first in the martial arts, he instructed his subordinates to rob the dart bureau to plant bribes, provoking the contradiction between the chivalrous Mandarin Duck Double Knife Lei Li and the Huwei Mountain Villa, and then he came forward as the elder of the jianghu to reconcile, breaking the double knife with three sticks, forcing Lei Li to cut off his right arm and withdraw from the jianghu, and playing the sinister and treacherous and moral villain image into three points
From the decent role of Fang Cheng in the first part, to the fierce villain role Jiao Feng in the second part, to the big villain behind the scenes who played Dillon Jiang David in the applause in the third part, Gu Feng can be said to be a layer of progressive performance of what it looks like, did not let the audience have the slightest sense of jumping, although Gu Feng has become familiar with acting skills, but has not been able to play the main role due to image problems
However, this can not stop Gu Feng's love for acting, in the next period of time. Gu Feng is even more gone on the road of supporting roles, Yue Xihong, who used thirteen righteous sons in "Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles" to eliminate dissidents, Feng Kaishan, the curator of the Guoshu Curator who designed to kill the Peking Opera Wusheng Guan Yulou in "Revenge", and Wan Tiankui, the underworld master who guarded King Kang in "Two Heroes"
Regardless of the role of the role in the play, he will carefully ponder the characteristics of the character, the villain image created is treacherous, sharp, sinister, fierce, complex and changeable, and even the word "bad" has allowed him to perform different characteristics, but at that time, such a powerful actor with online acting skills did not even have a starring film, which could not help but make the audience feel sorry and uneven for him
On the contrary, as a party, Gu Feng still calmly starred in various supporting roles, not only helping Zhang Cheli to win a number of disciples, but also constantly walking through various types of films, perhaps it is this mentality of playing every role seriously regardless of fame and fortune, so that his acting skills have won the recognition of the public and the judges
In 1982, Li Hanxiang's "Wu Song" was nominated for the Golden Horse Award, because Gu Feng portrayed the image of the timid and cowardly Wu Dalang in the film, he won the first Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor in his life, and the next year he took advantage of the victory to defend this honor again with a feature film "The Girl To Be Sinned"
However, Gu Feng, who has gained a firm foothold in the film and television circle with Shao's martial arts films, is really well known by mainland audiences after cooperating with Xingye, and when it comes to the cooperation between Gu Feng and Xingye, it is necessary to start from the movie "Righteous Courage and Heroes", when Gu Feng starred as Cao Gong's old friend and Xingye played the little brother who was betrayed by the boss, the two did not have any intersection in the play
It was not until 1992 that the two were in the same frame for the first time in "Comic Weilong", which was their first cooperation in the true sense, and then in the "Nine Pin Sesame Officers" starring Stephen Chow, Gu Feng quickly went out of the circle with the role of Admiral Chang Kun, knowing the law and breaking the law, shielding his murderous son; bribing officials, buying officials with power and money, and the Admiral in the film was simply a typical representative of corrupt officials, and such a characteristic character made him deeply impressed in the hearts of the audience
Then in 1998 he starred in the role of Hai Dafu in "Deer Ding", in fact, this is not the first time he played this role, as early as 1983 Wang Yu's version of "Deer Ding", he has already vividly interpreted the role of Hai Gonggong in front of the audience, he played Hai Dafu's face is pale but full of evil, although his eyes have been blind but can not stop the killing, this role also allows him to have a new representative role in the hearts of mainland audiences
After the beginning of the new century, Mr. Gu has rarely appeared in movies because of age problems, from the one-man triangle in the "One-Armed Knife" trilogy. Flip-flops dad to the flip-flops in "Baby Project". Countless films that we are familiar with have the word Gu Feng appear in the list of supporting roles, which can really be described as a "brick and stone" level actor
In 2011, after starring in the last film "Long Live I Love HK (Hongkong)", the actor who witnessed the rise and fall of Hong Kong movies officially ended his acting career, he played supporting roles for more than 50 years, and dedicated his good youth to the acting career
Now that he has entered the age of mao die, Mr. Gu has paid no attention to the right and wrong of the show business circle, but just talked to Shaw's old friends about the old days, talked about the spirit of the year, and occasionally had new dynamics, he was also full of spirit and smiles, hoping that our Old Master Gu could always be healthy and healthy like this
