On April 17, TVB's "traitor" Xu Zhongxin was interviewed and exposed the old things when he was doing martial arts.
What is quite surprising is that the fame is not great, but Xu Zhongxin's temper was so hot when he was young - he had a big fight with Jackie Chan in private, and even scolded Lin Qingxia in person.
Now when it comes to the past, he himself feels that it is inappropriate.
Nowadays, TVB's familiar faces are becoming less and less.
Therefore, the emergence of this old predecessor really makes Hong Kong film lovers a bit of a grandfather Qinghui meaning.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" >01, the jianghu people call "master brother" can only make cameo roles</h1>
Perhaps some friends are not familiar with Xu Zhongxin, in fact, his status in the Hong Kong martial arts circle is very high, and insiders vividly call him "master brother", because he is indeed the brother of many people in the circle.
Xu Zhongxin was particularly active when he was young, and his parents sent him to the "Oriental Drama School" when he was 8 years old, and the founder of this school was Tang Di.
In the early years of the Hong Kong martial arts people, they could not escape the 5 people in the martial arts circle, and Tang Di was one of them, and the most famous person under his disciples was Cheng Xiaodong, who later became the three major martial arts fingers in Hong Kong with Yuan Heping and Yuan Kui.
Although Cheng Xiaodong was older than Xu Zhongxin, his generation was not as good as Xu Zhongxin, and Xu Zhongxin became his brother.
Xu Zhongxin was very naughty at school, and when there was no class at night, he sneaked into the street to play, and even was chased by the store to the school for stealing things.
During the 7 years of learning art, the master was also particularly harsh on Xu Zhongxin, and disobedience would really beat him with rattan.
After completing his studies, Xu Zhongxin entered the martial arts industry as a "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master", and suffered a lot in order to earn money in his early years, taking on any role, and he can be seen in many of Shao's early films.
In 1966, in "The Drunken Man", he played a beggar who sang behind Yue Hua.
In 1969, as a teenager, he made a cameo appearance in the movie "Flying Knife Hand" as a child star, and had early collaborations with Zheng Peipei and Noonma.
But in fact, these small roles are just the prelude to Xu Zhongxin's entry into martial arts, and the roles he can remember are still the various evil characters in TVB.
In the 1970s and 1980s, during the booming stage of Hong Kong martial arts films, Xu Zhongxin was very busy, and he himself said that although he was busy but happy during that time, it didn't matter the size of the role, as long as he could make money, even if it was an evil person, it didn't matter.
In the 1970s, the series of movies starring Dillon, such as "Bright Moon Sword Snow Night Annihilation", "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Xiao Shiyilang" and many other works, all had Xu Zhongxin's cameo roles, or nameless heroes, or adulterous villains.
Later, in "Gold Chasing Action", Xu Zhongxin cooperated with Xu Jinjiang and played the gangster big brother Xu Biao, during which he had a lot of rival scenes with Xu Jinjiang, who played the policeman, and the two also had some simple action scenes.
In "Fierce Ghost Karaoke", Xu Zhongxin cooperated with Tao Dayu, a boldly conceived ghost film that set off a movie-watching boom at that time, but Xu Zhongxin only played an evil ghost who was wronged to death.
In "Gambler", he played the drug lord Biao Brother again, and "out of the old thousand" was discovered by Lu Liangwei.
I have to say that Xu Zhongxin is really very emotional when playing this kind of fierce and evil bad guy, and every look in the wood is bad.
These are the roles that Xu Zhongxin can be remembered, in fact, he will be more when he does martial arts instruction in the later stage, because he was injured in the early years of filming, Xu Zhongxin has long been unable to carry out difficult martial arts work, which is also a pity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" >02, "brother" has a hot temper</h1>
In 1975, Xu Zhongxin took over the position of Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist in the movie "Dart Flag Flying", the director of this play was NoonMa, and Jackie Chan was still only a small role in that period, and did not become a "big brother".
At that time, Xu Zhongxin rushed to the set in the crew's car, and the seat happened to be behind Jackie Chan, and before Jackie Chan got on the car, he put his foot on the back of the chair.
Unexpectedly, after Jackie Chan got into the car, he pulled his foot away, which made Xu Zhongxin very annoyed, and the two fought for this, but fortunately, the crowd separated the two in time, and did not make a big deal out of it.
The fiery Xu Zhongxin not only provoked Jackie Chan, but also Lin Qingxia.
In 1984, Xu Zhongxin signed a contract with TVB, and gradually opened his career as a martial arts instructor and martial arts instructor.
Everyone can understand the best way for Wu Xingren to transform in the later stages, but as for why he risked being a stand-in, he also said bluntly, because the money earned as a stand-in is twice as much as that of a martial artist.
If the martial master gave 1500 yuan, he would give 3000 yuan as a stand-in, and Xu Zhongxin could only take risks because of his livelihood.
Xu Zhongxin once worked as a stand-in for Zheng Shaoqiu, a popular young student at that time, and filmed a number of early films of Zheng Shaoqiu.
In 1983, Zheng Shaoqiu and Lin Qingxia co-produced the film "Midnight Orchid", and Xu Zhongxin entered the group as a martial arts instructor and special guest.
There is a scene in the "bone pool", Lin Qingxia is tied up waiting for Zheng Shaoqiu to come to the rescue, the scene of the drama in the place of dry ice, accidentally put into the water, chemical reaction splash, just happened to get Lin Qingxia's face.
At that time, Lin Damei was displeased and said to the dramatist, "What are you doing"?
This sentence made Xu Zhongxin hear, originally this matter had nothing to do with him, but out of some "righteous spirit", he was dissatisfied with lin Qingxia's tantrum at the time.
So when the shooting officially began, as a martial arts instructor, he deliberately NG to vent his emotions, and even scolded Lin Qingxia in person.
Zheng Shaoqiu saw the problem and took the initiative to reconcile, xu Zhongxin gave up.
Many years later, when he mentioned this past again, Xu Zhongxin also admitted that he had done something wrong at that time and should not be impulsive, and used this interview to apologize to Lin Qingxia.
Xu Zhongxin, who had a fiery temper, was finally "planted" in Zheng Shaoqiu.
When filming "Decisive Battle of the Imperial City", Xu Zhongxin was still Zheng Shaoqiu's stand-in, and one of the scenes was to quickly turn around and jump from upstairs and land on the ground, but when Xu Zhongxin landed, one foot stepped on the protective pad, resulting in the foot being broken on the spot.
Afterwards, Xu Zhongxin was urgently hospitalized, and he underwent physical therapy for more than half a year after the incident, but all of his cruciate ligaments were broken, and his proud martial arts were completely abandoned.
After that, not to mention the martial arts, even the basic fast walking and some slightly difficult movements, he could not complete.
When he said this, Xu Zhongxin, who was already an old man, sighed slightly, and there was a certain sadness in his eyes, and he could see that he still had deep regrets about the end of his martial arts career.
Since the "abolition of martial arts", Xu Zhongxin can only do martial arts instruction and teach people with his mouth.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" >03, Xu Zhongxin who teaches people with his mouth</h1>
He could not fight in person, but it did not affect Xu Zhongxin's continued development in the martial arts circle, and with a "wicked" face, he still left many classic images.
In 1996's "Dragon Tiger Arbor Street", he played the madman Hui, and the fierce god's evil performance left a deep impression.
Later, in many works, Xu Zhongxin played similar roles.
In 1993, when he partnered with Jet Li in "Huang Feihong's Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede", Xu Zhongxin played "Lei YiXiao", and there were many opponent plays with Jet Li, of which the difficult part, Xu Zhongxin found a stand-in, but the upper body fight was still completed by him.
Dueling with another martial arts master, Xu Zhongxin also talked about the process of shooting.
It is also common to be beaten by Jet Li when filming, after all, it is a movie, and Jet Li's fight is more real, and "fist to flesh" is inevitably injured by mistake.
But at that time, Xu Zhongxin had faded his "fiery" temper, and even if he was hit by Jet Li, he would laugh it off, and there was no other friction.
From Xu Zhongxin's experience, it can also be seen that he is a person with a low emotional intelligence, whether it is a small friction with Jackie Chan or Lin Qingxia, it may be avoidable to change to others, but Xu Zhongxin is straight to the point, and it is also this straight-forward personality, so that the Good Hong Kong media specifically love to ask Xu Zhongxin some tricky questions.
For example, who is better in the kung fu of Jet Li and Jackie Chan?
Xu Zhongxin bluntly said that he and Jackie Chan rarely cooperated, but he believed that although Jackie Chan's skills were flexible, they were more "ingenious", and the implication was that he was not real enough kung fu.
Xu Zhongxin's evaluation of Jet Li is relatively better, and the phrase "he is serious about his work" has summed up this praise.
Perhaps this is the true side of Xu Zhongxin, who had a hot temper when he was young, although he had converged a lot after he was older, but he was still not polite enough in his speech, if it were not for the early years of "martial arts being abolished", and if he could be more sleek, perhaps he would not play a small supporting role.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" ends ></h1>
So far, Xu Zhongxin has starred in hundreds of works, although most of these roles have been forgotten by everyone, but his image of a gangster and evil gangster is still remembered by many viewers.
Xu Zhongxin got married after signing a contract with TVB, when he and his wife met in Taiwan, and they walked hand in hand for 30 years, during which Xu Zhongxin did pay a lot to support his family.
Now, at the age of 68, he can enjoy the world.
Grandchildren and granddaughters let Xu Zhongxin very content, often accompany them to play, especially the little grandson, it seems to inherit Xu Zhongxin's martial arts genes, do martial arts actions to have a look, at a young age can already move the legs to the top of the head, even when taking pictures, children are very cool, hands in the pocket, quite a "big brother" look.
Xu Zhongxin said that the happiest thing he is now is to be able to enjoy the happiness of his grandchildren, and he is particularly happy to mention his grandson Xu Zhongxin, his eyes are full of warmth, and there is no fierceness, and it is rare for the big brother of the jianghu to show a warm side.
For his career, Xu Zhongxin said that he would continue to insist until no one hired him, and his words still carried the strength of the martial artists not to accept defeat.
I wish Xu Zhongxin to enjoy a peaceful family life in his old age.
