In 2018, when TVB broadcast the drama "Hollywood Has a Big Old Man", I believe that there are many plots, scenes, and characters in the play that make people feel similar, which can be identified as some classics of the Hong Kong Cantonese feature film market in the last century, such as stars, movies concentrated in the series, such as the film "Jade Girl Tim Ding" mentioned in the play is the classic in the Cantonese feature film of that year, and the role of Shu Qi played by Cai Hanyi at that time is the well-known actor Lu Qi of the classic Cantonese feature film. Speaking of which, Since Lu Qi faded out of the film circle in 1987 and moved to Taiwan, he rarely appeared in public again, and this distinction (seclusion) has also been nearly 32 years, and Wang Manling, a senior media person, has posted a photo with Lü Qi, which not only caused everyone to discuss, but also set off a wave of remembrance.
The 77-year-old Lu Qi is a well-known male star in the Era of Hong Kong Cantonese feature films, once a Shaw actor, and he and Chen Baozhu had the title of "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" at that time, which can be described as famous at home and abroad. Lü Qi was admitted to the Zhonglian Actor Training Class in 1958, joined Shaw in 1959 as an actor, began to appear in his first work in 1960, and from 1960 until 1987, he appeared in nearly 100 films in 27 years, of which in 1965 with "Gongzi Amorous" became a hit, and since then he has become a popular student in the Cantonese feature film market. In addition to filmmaking, Lu Qi also founded a film company, wrote scripts, and later directed and acted in his own films, including many Fengyue films, which is definitely a very versatile filmmaker and has made great contributions to Hong Kong films.
During The period when Lü Qi was active in the film industry, his best partner was Chen Baozhu, the two were known as the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" at that time, and worked together on more than 20 films - the two became the best screen couple with "Don't Forget Tonight", and then "Fan Princess" and "Charming Bird" laid the position of the two screen lovers, the most representative of which is "Jade Girl Tim Ding", which has now become a memory of a generation, and it is still considered to be a classic in the classic.
And when Lü Qi and Chen Baozhu cooperated frequently, resulting in the two people having feelings, but Chen Baozhu hindered Lü Qi's family from being unwilling to be a third party, so he cut off the love thread and avoided the United States, and then from Chen Baozhu quit the entertainment circle, he never had contact with Lü Qi until today, 13 years ago Lü Qi was interviewed and said that he was very worried about Chen Baozhu, Chen Baozhu politely responded to thank you and care after knowing it, and this only budding feeling could only be stopped.
Lu Qi quit the film and television industry in 1987 with his last work, "Destiny with Peach Blossoms", and then left Hong Kong with his second wife Ling Dai to move to Taiwan. Lü Qi has experienced two marriages for most of his life, raised three sons, the first marriage began in 1960, divorced in 1973, married his second wife Ling Dai in 1987, so the age gap between his eldest son and the two sons born later is larger, the eldest son Tang Jinruo (Lü Qi's original name Tang Jueming) is now 58 years old, the second son is now only 30 years old, and the youngest son is 26 years old.
Since moving to Taiwan, Lü Qi has given up his career in film, which can be understood as starting a new life, living a semi-retired life, of course, he did not eat the old money, and his daily life was more based on investing in properties and stocks. After fading out of the film and television circle, Lü Qi is very low-key, rarely shows his face in the entertainment circle, and even if he is recognized in daily life, he will deny that he is Lü Qi, so in the past 32 years, or not without The news of Lü Qi, it is really rare to see his figure.
And this time Lü Qi appeared, or because the veteran media person Wang Manling went to Taiwan to visit relatives and friends, had the opportunity to meet with Lü Qi, the two talked freely for an afternoon, Lü Qi rarely mentioned the work "Gongzi Sentimentality" that made him a hit that year, and thanked Shaw and Huang Manli for their help again. Compared with these, everyone is more concerned about The recent situation of Lü Qi, from the photos posted by Wang Manling, the 77-year-old Lü Qi has a good mental outlook, his body is still very tough, and he will have a feeling of being unharmed.
Lü Qi is the memory of a generation, but also the representative of Hong Kong's classic Cantonese feature films, and later many movies and TV series filmed in Hong Kong, including the previously mentioned "Hollywood Has a Big Old Man", as well as the characters in works such as "Difficult Brothers and Difficult Brothers" are all reflecting Lü Qi, which shows his influence, and now that he has learned that he lives well in Taiwan, his body is still very healthy, which also makes many fans feel relieved and wish him good health!
