In the entertainment industry where appearance is supreme, modeling is indispensable, as the saying goes, a good appearance is not as good as having a good stylist, 5 points of appearance can also be dressed as 7 points or even 9 points through the shape, so the audience can also see the stars in front of the screen like a hundred flowers competing for beauty.
However, there are also several stars who are "unique", always with a pair of bald head shapes still mixed up, such as Zhang Weijian, Bao Bell, Le Jia, Xu Zheng, Ge You and other people, but in the field of bald heads, there is a person before them, he is Mai Jia.
Recently, some netizens took a photo of Mai Jia participating in the commercial performance slightly sad, the environment is simple, in the photo, Mai Jia wearing a classic bald head shape plus a suit, extra spirit, it is difficult to resemble, this is already a 76-year-old man, it does not look like it at all, at most more than 60 years old.
Nowadays, when it comes to comedy movies, everyone thinks of Stephen Chow, and for the older generation, the ghost horse movies of the Xu brothers and the comedy movies of the bald Mai Jia also occupied a lot of weight in that era, if it were not for the failure of stock speculation, Mai Jia would not have launched the entertainment circle.
<h1>Turning around a lot, homesick and dreaming</h1>
Mai Jiashang, formerly known as Mai Jiashang, was born in 1944 in an ordinary family in Guangdong, he was born in the era of war, his life was deeply at risk, and the domestic economic environment was very depressed at that time.
At that time, both the rich and the ordinary capable families were moving to a safe place, and Mai Jia's parents moved their family to Hong Kong in this situation, and at the age of 14, Mai Jia studied at the Chongxin English College at that time, until 1963, when he graduated at the age of 19, he went to England with his parents.
Unlike the bald Manga on the screen now, when she was young, Maggie had a thick black hair, and at that time the Beatles were popular, and Maggie's dress was also imitated in this regard, so it was very literary and artistic, and it was difficult to imagine that he would be linked to comedy later.
In his youth, Mai Jia studied at Brooklyn Polytechnic University in New York, majoring in electrical engineering, at that time Mai Jia wanted to become an electronic engineer, and after graduation, he also worked in a telephone company, if he worked step by step, Mai Jia could not succeed in this field, but later he chose comedy.
When he was in New York, Mai Jia missed his hometown very much, so he often ran to Chinatown to watch the films made in China, and there was still a certain gap between Hong Kong films and American blockbusters at that time, and it was precisely because of the long-term viewing that Mai Jia had the idea of making films and making special films.
People in that era dared to fight and fight, unlike today's young people, who had to think about leaving their jobs and held the idea of shooting films, in 1971, Mai Jia chose to leave and go to the film department of New York University for further study, and in the same year, Mai Jia entered the American film company to study on the ground and participate in the film production process.
After the systematic study and practice, Mai Jia held a passion for blood and took a thousand DOLLARs to prepare to return to Hong Kong to do a big job.
<h1>The Golden Age of Hong Kong Cinema</h1>
In 1973, When Mak Ka returned to Hong Kong, bruce Lee died suddenly, Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao were still rolling around on the ground, and the length of Hong Kong kung fu films was blank, and Mak Ka took advantage of this shareholder wind to meet a group of like-minded partners and established Pioneer Film Company, Garbo Film Company and so on.
What if I don't have any money? Then start with small-cost films, from "A Single Stick To the World" to "Iron Fist" are the foundation laid at the beginning, in 1979, Mai Jia cooperated with others to establish the New Art City Film Company, when New Art can be said to be a legend of Hong Kong films, what fire to shoot.
At that time, the first film of New Art City was "Best Partner", which was a big hit when the film was released in 1982, and the film shocked the majority of fans with a unique and crazy comedy method, and also rewrote the highest box office record in the history of Hong Kong films, and Mak Ka won the title of Best Actor at the second Hong Kong Film Awards.
Mai Jia's unique bald head image and Taishan dialect impressed the audience, he was also known as "the most handsome bald head", and has since become a well-known comedian, good films always have sequels, "Best Partner" 2, 3, 4 have been released in succession, Mai Jia was once famous.
With the fire of Mai Jia, there were also differences within the new art city, Huang Baiming liked to make family fun movies, Mai Jia wanted to make martial arts comedies, and Shi Tian wanted to star in the movie himself, and the disagreement could only disperse, so in the late 80s, the new art city began to fight its own war.
However, Mai Jia is not as good as Huang Baiming's New Year film, and he naturally wants to prove himself, so he joins hands with Hong Jinbao and others to shoot the classic action movie "Skinny Tiger Fat Dragon", but this is also Mai Jia's last few short-lived flashes in the history of film, the new art city disintegrated in the 1990s, and Mai Jia also began to retire.
<h1>Retired from the entertainment industry, turned to investment and failed</h1>
To tell the truth, in the film investment, Mai Jia does have a good vision, whether it is involved in investment or several films he directed are good, may be too high, see too far, the film has been unable to let go of Mai Jia, so he turned around to invest in real estate and stocks.
The real estate bubble of the 80s and 90s believes that people who know are very impressed, people who make money are happy, and those who lose are the most miserable, but Mai Jia is an extremely poor vision in this regard, if he is researched in investment, it will not be so disappointing, but Mai Jia is very "fan".
Can you imagine investing in this kind of expertise, Mai Jiaquan relies on the guidance of the so-called master? The most unlikely thing is the easiest to come true, and Mai Jia relies on the guidance of the master to invest and loses all his wealth.
This incident made Mai Jia want to end her life for a while, but fortunately with the company of family and friends, even if she fell from the sky again, Mai Jia finally walked out and started making movies again and returning to the entertainment industry.
In 2000, Mai Jia came back to participate in "The Big Winner" starring Nicholas Tse, Lin Xinru and others, and in 2001, he played Ji Gong in the TV series "The Legend of Jigong" directed by Huang Baiming, and later with Luo Jiaying and others to host "Three Skinheads" and other programs with good results.
Time has changed, even if there was a lot of scenery at the beginning, More than half a hundred years old Mai Jia can only set off other people's green leaves, career setbacks, Mai Jia family is extremely happy, in 2019, the son married in Hong Kong, it is reported that the daughter-in-law was pregnant at the time, according to time speculation, Mai Jia is now also a grandfather.
Brilliant, bumpy, the impact of Mai Jia in Hong Kong films believes that everyone will not forget, plain is also a blessing, I hope that 76-year-old Mai Jia can enjoy a stable life, the happiness in front of you is really happy.
