He is less than one meter five, and a little hunchback, but the name shocked the whole of Hong Kong, is the founder of the first Chinese band, but also Andy Lau personally said to respect the father of the person, his status in the film industry is much higher than Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, a word can help Zhou Runfa out of the predicament, Andy Lau mentioned his name directly as the protagonist, so capable film industry big guys are still few, this person is Teddy Robin, according to the development of various fields can be the best of the all-rounder, Today we will talk about Teddy Robin, who has experienced various tribulations and finally stood at the top.
Teddy Robin's not easy main source of physical defects, he was born in Guilin, Guangxi, at the age of two or three broke the spine, and another because of tuberculosis bacteria into the bone infected with tuberculosis, when the hometown medical equipment can not cure this disease, the family decided to take him to Hong Kong to treat, in the hospital in Hong Kong Teddy Robin stayed for three years, every day to wear a very sticky plaster vest, and then he did a bone marrow extraction surgery, the success rate is only 2%, or can only local anesthesia, the operation process Teddy Robin can not stand the pain at all After being forced by several adults to press it to be successfully completed, after treatment, his life was finally saved, but his body stopped growing taller, which caused his height to stay at a height of less than one meter and five meters, and some hunchbacks.
This has also become Teddy Robin's biggest problem, because he often suffers from strange eyes from others when he walks on the road, and he will be ridiculed by his classmates at school, which does not make Teddy Robin inferior, but as he grows older, Teddy Robin's height defects become more and more obvious, and his hobby is playing football, but he also understands that in terms of his body, no matter how hard he tries to play football, he will not get everyone's recognition, one day Teddy Robin suddenly heard foreign rock music on the street, and the sound of the electric guitar made him intoxicated. Since then, Robin has fallen in love with rock and guitar, so he decided to go in the direction of music, Robin began to learn the art, and also learned to play guitar from his classmates and teachers at school.
In the early 60s, rock music completely swept the world, Hong Kong is inevitable, Robin took advantage of the situation to form a band called "Playboy", and himself as the lead singer, became the first Hong Kong Chinese band, in that era of not looking at the value of the face only to see the talent, the Playboy Band soon had a popularity, has released more than 20 albums in five years, completely popular throughout Hong Kong, became a hot band, Robin as the lead singer is even more popular, it is no exaggeration to say that Teresa Teng was his fan before his debut.
Members have their own things and lives after becoming famous, young pursuit of ethereal dreams have gradually faded, most of them have turned to behind-the-scenes work, Robin also became interested in the film, has always wanted to understand the production process of the film, and finally in 1970 Shaw found Teddy Robin, tailored a movie for him "The Price of Love", in order to learn Teddy Robin did not think about it and agreed, the film tells the sincere feelings of a hunchback deformed person and a blind girl, the plot is very emotional, Teddy Robin while acting, While not forgetting to learn the filming technology of film, but this is a college question, after the end of filming he mastered some of the basics, dedicated to the study of film Teddy Robin decided to give up everything he had in Hong Kong, to go to Canada while wandering while learning filmmaking.
Four years later Robin returned to Hong Kong with full of enthusiasm, ready to continue to show his talents here, he contacted a rich businessman who wanted to enter the film industry through his previous relationship, the two met, the rich businessman listened to his ambition and decided to invest and set up the "Zhucheng Productions" company, Robin served as a producer in the company, so he co-opted a very skilled little brother Zhang Guoming, the two got together to shoot the movie "Point Point Soldier", although this film does not have a traffic star, but Robin combines music and film, Bring the film to the fire, setting a box office high of 3 million.
After his supervision of "The Savior", "Mountain Dog", "The Story of Hu Yue", it became a representative of the new wave of Hong Kong cinema in the early 80s, and there was a small episode during this period, the male protagonist of "The Story of Hu Yue" was Zhou Runfa, but he had an appointment with TVB at the time, he secretly ran over to shoot, was discovered by TVB and was furious, ready to sue Zhou Runfa, and Robin and TVB high-level friendship is very deep, came forward to help Zhou Runfa settle this matter, solved a lot of trouble for him, then Robin was already famous in the film world, But he doesn't value these things, he wants to innovate, he wants to break through himself.
So he decided to break the comfort zone, leave his company, Robin went to the new art city, with Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Xu Ke, Zeng Zhiwei, Shi Nansheng formed the famous new art city seven monsters, he also supervised the production of a movie "Caiyun Qu", it is in this movie Andy Lau won the screen debut, "Caiyun Qu" is a youth film, mainly about the story of wireless training classes, before filming, Teddy Robin attended an award ceremony, a glance at Andy Lau as a concierge, he invited him to go to the " Caiyun Qu" crew audition, wanted him to be the lead actor, did not expect Andy Lau to say that he had already gone, because he looked slightly fat was rejected by the director, Teddy Robin let him go again and mention his name, so Andy Lau smoothly entered the crew under the protection of the big guy, and let everyone know.
I heard that at that time, the director selection even the Hong Kong goddess Guan Zhilin was brushed down, but how strict it was, at this time Robin did the supervising producer, acted in the role, and also did the soundtrack, he was almost his own director, in 1983, the sequel to "Ghost Horse Zhiduoxing" "I Love the Night" began filming, Xu Keding supported himself to take charge of the spoon, Robin was not afraid at all, after the film was released, it won more than 13 million box office, became the champion of the schedule, and also got eight nominations for the Academy Award, which robin has more than one director identity.
But as the fame of New Art City Company is getting higher and higher, this collective creation model hinders personal development, and at the same time, there are problems in the distribution of benefits, resulting in people's hearts being scattered, and finally several people completely broke up, Teddy Robin left New Art City after doing the soundtrack for "Dragon and Tiger Storm", during which Time Lau was also banned by the company because of a conflict with TVB, until he met Robin again, the two co-starred in the movie "Dragons Seize the Treasure", in the film Andy Lau played a display case to keep Charlie Chen, and Teddy Robin played a thief , coupled with Ma Yunlong, a fast gunner played by Xu Shaoqiang, the three staged a good scene of dragons fighting for treasures, which made the audience addicted.
It is also this drama that has become a turning point for Andy Lau and Teddy Robin, a step by step to the peak, becoming the King of Heaven film emperor, a former big brother in the film industry gradually faded out of the background, and then Andy Lau invested in a movie called "The Ring" as the boss, and invited Teddy Robin to come back to play the role of an old martial artist, it is this movie that makes Teddy Robin win the Academy Award for the first time, or won two awards, best supporting actor and best original film music, making his film and television dream more complete, In the acceptance speech, Teddy Robin's gratitude to Andy Lau made everyone see the friendship between the two for more than 30 years.
Andy Lau from a rejected young man to the Emperor of Heavenly King, indispensable to his own talent and efforts, but he has more respect for his own knowledge of the grace of Teddy Robin, he also personally said that he will respect Teddy Robin like his father, and now the elderly Teddy Robin has long retreated to the jianghu, have to admit that in the past, Hong Kong veteran actors rarely put their energy on publicity and hype, more immersed in the creation of works, it is this mentality that can leave us with so many classic works. Although Teddy Robin is not tall or handsome, he has a lot of hard work that many people do not have, God closed a door for him, but also opened a window, and finally wished the 76-year-old Teddy Robin good health.
