There has never been a shortage of legends in this land of Hong Kong, a number of Xiangjiang actresses have made the audience remember for many years, and the myth of the four heavenly kings will be pulled out from time to time to tell a bit, in order to inspire the little fresh meat to learn from the predecessors and make good progress. However, who excavated these legends in the entertainment industry is actually a more interesting thing to pay attention to.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="2" > 76-year-old, why is he concerned by the whole of Hong Kong</h1>
Recently, the well-known Hong Kong director Zhang Guoming broke out the recent situation of an elderly male star named Teddy Robin, saying that although Teddy Robin is 76 years old, he is still in good health. Why does this man, who is completely unfamiliar to mainland audiences, attract so much attention in Hong Kong? It starts with the name "Robin Teddy.".
Like other stars in the entertainment industry, Teddy Robin is a stage name.
Teddy Robin, whose original name was Guan Weipeng, was born in 1945 in an ordinary family in Guilin, Guangxi Province. When he was young, Guan Weipeng moved to Hong Kong with his family, formed a band and served as the lead singer because he loved music, and accidentally entered the entertainment industry.
In the dinner photos posted by Zhang Guoming, he called Teddy Robin his super good friend, Teddy Robin has long hair, and he can indeed see the style of some rock stars. Many netizens also commented that Teddy Robin did not look old at all, hoping that he would always be healthy. In addition, some people said that Zhang Guoming and Teddy Robin dinner with beautiful women as companions, it seems that Teddy Robin heterosexual relationship is still good.
Then again, Teddy Robin, who has faded out of the circle for many years, has been paid attention to because he has single-handedly excavated the two mainstays of the Chinese entertainment industry, Andy Lau and Chow Yun Fat.

Still pulling back the time to the 1960s, Teddy Robin and his friends formed a band called "Teddy Robin and playboy band", which was the first Chinese band in Hong Kong in the true sense. Although Teddy Robin broke his spine at a young age, resulting in a bacterial infection, his height remained in his childhood, less than 150cm. But with the blessing of the halo of rock stardom, as the lead singer, his stardom is very good.
The band signed with a record label and released an album, probably because it was the first Chinese band on the market, the album sales were quite gratifying, and the band quickly became popular. As the lead singer, Teddy Robin got the opportunity to appear in the movie. In the early years, there was no professional actor training institution in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and red or red could basically be used as an important benchmark for selecting actors.
Probably because of this, Teddy Robin, who is less than 150cm tall, has participated in many movies such as "The Price of Love", "Dragons And Treasures" and "My Night", and successfully completed the identity conversion from rock singer to actor. With the passage of time, the development of Hong Kong's entertainment industry has become formalized, and artist training classes have emerged, which has provided many professional actors to the circle.
Teddy Robin, who has a height defect and is not a professional actor, realizes the change in the direction of the wind and begins another transformation attempt. As an actor, he is less than 150cm tall and will indeed be limited by many roles, but if he transitions to the background, this restriction will be gone.
Teddy Robin began to study filmmaking, and the first supervising film was called "Point Point Soldier", co-directed by Zhang Guoming. Since then, he has also supervised the production of many other high-quality films, and more importantly, he has gradually turned into the background, and has tapped a lot of potential newcomers for the entertainment industry.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="2" > Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat were all carried by him</h1>
At that time, Andy Lau was still an unknown small actor, and in various film and television dramas, he mainly ran dragon sets.
At an awards ceremony, Teddy Robin noticed Andy Lau and asked if he wanted to make a movie. The picture of Andy Lau and Teddy Robin appearing together in "Dragons Andy Robin" is regarded as a classic scene by many fans.
In addition to Andy Lau, artists such as Chow Yun Fat and Xu Guanjie have also been promoted and helped by Teddy Robin. In the 1990s, Robin Teddy faded out of the entertainment industry and moved to Canada with his wife. In 2010, Teddy Robin was invited to make a comeback with a cameo in the movie "The Ring".
Interestingly, the investor of this movie is Andy Lau, and many people speculate that behind Teddy Robin's comeback, it is indispensable to Hua Tsai's promotion and efforts. From musician to director to executive producer, Teddy Robin has changed his identity all the way, but he can do his best in each identity, no wonder he has faded out of the entertainment industry for many years and is still remembered by the audience.
In addition, as a person with a congenital deficiency of 150cm in height, Teddy Robin almost has the kind of resentment and cringe temperament caused by congenital problems, which may also be related to his mentality. In the talk show "No Defenses Today", Teddy Robin frankly admitted that the height problem did bring him a certain inconvenience.
"But you see, my arms are as long as yours." Speaking of which, Teddy Robin and Huang Xia's arm were compared, and there was no obvious difference in length between the two arms. Perhaps it is precisely because of this mentality that Teddy Robin has started from the musician all the way, switching different identities and succeeding.
