One day in 2003, the koi in Chen Baixiang's home died overnight, and an ominous premonition enveloped him. Sure enough, a week later, Zhang Guorong jumped from the terrace on the 24th floor of the hotel. The fish raised by the "brother" himself preceded him a week and left.
At that time, the "Tan Zhang Hegemony" was in full swing, and Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong competed with their respective fan camps to the point of personal attack.
For the good buddy Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang once publicly said something against Zhang Guorong, which was published by the media.
To this end, Zhang Guorong specially invited Chen Baixiang and Tan Yonglin to his home and served them coffee and cake. Zhang Guorong asked, "Brother Lak, why do you say that?" I have a good relationship with you. Chen Baixiang said: "No way, no matter how good it is, it doesn't matter, I am a black and white person." You are my friend, he is my better friend. I'm going to do it for him. ”
Before leaving, Zhang Guorong said that he was going to move and gave Chen Baixiang more than a dozen koi.
A week later, Chen Baixiang, who learned of the bad news, was full of regrets, and he blamed himself very much, and publicly said in front of the media: I owe Zhang Guorong an apology. Unfortunately, the Si people have gone, leaving a sigh in the human world.
The public is familiar with Chen Baixiang because of his comedic talent, but few people know that Chen Baixiang first debuted as a singer, and Tan Yonglin had to call him big brother on singing skills.
Musical talent, blockbuster
Before he was four years old, Chen Baixiang's family had a house and a field, and each of his brothers and sisters was followed by a servant. Unfortunately, not long after, the family was broken, and the mother rented a small grocery store, and one person pulled and pulled the belt to grow six babies.
Life is hard, Chen Baixiang has known how important money is since he was a child, he began to work part-time in the fourth grade, because he was born with a good voice, some people recommended him to go to the bar every night to sing, and the monthly income of 400 yuan was a rich income at that time. In order to reduce the burden on his family, he dropped out of school at the fifth grade.
18-year-old Chen Baixiang formed a band with Peng Jianxin, Ye Zhiqiang and Chen You, and when they watched the singing competition, they picked up a registration form for the abandoned band with "loosers" written on it, and then they named the band after the name they picked up, which was also the predecessor of the Wenna Band. Later, Fa Xiao Tan Yonglin joined the band and became the second lead singer.
Two years later, they competed in amateur singing competitions and won back the championship trophy. Later, at the 1971 Hong Kong Youth Music Festival, this playful band actually beat the popular Lotus Band, which was the band of the singer Hui Guanjie at that time.
Just as the band soared, Tam was going to study in Singapore. The band disbanded and everyone went their separate ways.
Years later, music brings friends together again. Chen Baixiang, 29, and Tam Wing Lin signed up for a singing competition held by WIRELESS. As a result, Chen Baixiang's rank was above Tan Yonglin, and it should be known that Tan Yonglin had been debuting for 5 years at that time and was a professional singer of "Poly Gold" Record Company.
The excellent results of the competition allowed Chen Baixiang to sign with Hong Kong Wireless (TVB), and since then he has become colleagues with Tam Wing Lin and Cheung Kwok Wing, which also involved him in the "Tan Zhang Battle".
After Zhang Guorong's death, Chen Baixiang did not want the same thing to happen to himself and Tan Yonglin, and in order not to compete with his good brothers, he chose to do business.
The belief that everything must start from scratch and not be afraid of the difficulty of everything at the beginning has allowed him to break out of another piece of the sky in the business field.
Turn to the mall, the waves are terrifying
As early as the dissolution of the band, 21-year-old Chen Baixiang recognized a fact. The reason why I was dumped by my first love girlfriend is only one reason - poor. She is the first miss Hong Kong, or the top ten of miss world, and she has nothing, just a kid who plays music...
So what makes it more profitable? A: Go to the sea to do business.
After some market research, Chen Baixiang set his sights on fashion manufacturing. He co-founded a garment factory, cut the bed, beat the buttons, the edge of the car, he learned all the skills he could learn, starting from six sewing machines, in just two years to develop to 3 factories, 400 sewing machines, more than 2,000 workers.
The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and looks at the arrogant young man.
Chen Baixiang, who is in his 20s, quickly earned tens of millions and bought his first car. The first thing after picking up the car was to take Tan Yonglin out on the waves.
There are waves when the tide rises and falls, but unfortunately, it did not take long to surf, and Chen Baixiang's business was "overturned" by a wave.
The continuous expansion of garment factories is overloaded, because the business expansion rate is too strong, and the quality of clothing is difficult to guarantee. Coupled with Chen Baixiang's continuous acceptance of orders, the result was a jeans business, which became the last straw that crushed the garment factory, and the garment factory that had been painstakingly operating for more than two years collapsed, and Chen Baixiang had to file for bankruptcy.
If you have money, you have freedom, and if you don't have money, you can't even go bankrupt. At that time, Chen Baixiang had to pay 30,000 yuan to the Bankruptcy Office, and only after they checked the accounts and determined that the applicant was not suspected of fraud could they determine bankruptcy.
But at that time, he was so poor that he couldn't even get 30,000 yuan, and finally Tan Yonglin took out the down payment for the house and paid Chen Baixiang a bankruptcy filing fee.
Returning to the original point, Chen Baixiang began to think about where he would go next, except for the millions of raincoats that were backlogged in the warehouse, he had nothing.
But the cattle man was the cattle man, he was alone, took this batch of goods away and flew high, went to the world's richest Middle East at that time, hooked up with the pirates in a small grocery store, made deals with the pirates, and gave the pirates a commission of 1 DOLLAR for each piece of clothing sold.
The Middle East is a desert area, and it can't rain two or three times a year, who will buy a raincoat? Chen Baixiang fooled the pirates and said that this was a fashion costume, and it took a total of three or four years to sell the goods, which was a desperate situation.
Before going to the Middle East, relatives and friends advised him that it was a foolish thing to risk his life to do business with pirates, and an oversight would cost him both his life.
But he was not afraid at all: "I only have 1 life, I have no money and no life." "Let me ask: How many people who dare to make a deal with pirates with guns can come back alive?" Chen Baixiang counted one.
At the age of 44, Chen Baixiang started a second venture. He co-founded the "Champion Technology" company with Tan Yonglin, Mei Yanfang and Zeng Zhiwei, and became a trendsetter in the era of science and technology because of the invention of the Chinese pager. After the company's successful listing, Chen Baixiang's personal income reached tens of millions.
This money came too quickly, and the huge income soon allowed Chen Baixiang to live a life of eating, drinking, and enjoying luxury. But the heavens did not seem to see him well, and soon due to investment mistakes, he became poor again.
Once Chen Baixiang bought the futures index, the day plunged 4,000 points, assets also followed a big dive.
Chen Baixiang suffered a stock market crash, the company went bankrupt, and he went bankrupt for the second time. What is called "returning to the pre-liberation in one night", Chen Baixiang has a deep understanding.
After thinking about the pain, he began to reflect on himself, he saw that there was too much uncertainty in the stock market, although the profit was large, but the risk was too high, the speculation component was too large, and there was no down-to-earth work to make him feel at ease, so he gave up the idea of getting rich overnight and began to work hard.
Before, he chose to do business because he felt that singing made too little money, but the failure of two businesses let him know that it was not easy to start a business, and this time he set his sights on the film and television circle, which proved to be an incomparably correct decision.
Stepping into film and television, the wind and water are booming
In 1978, Tan Yonglin, Zhong Zhentao and Chen Youzheng starred in the comedy film "Catch Up and Run Jump Bump", because Chen Baixiang sang well, and the brothers pulled him to perform together. After that, Chen Baixiang and Huang Xingxiu starred in the song and dance TV series "Youth Boom".
<h1>In the film performance, Chen Baixiang is humorous and funny, and his funny and unruly style of nonsense is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he plays Andy Lau into a supporting role without a little attention. Later, he played against Zhou Xingchi, the master met, wonderful, and the audience evaluated his comedic talent as not losing to Xingye. </h1>
He is Duolong in Zhou Xingchi's version of "Deer Ding", "My admiration for you is like a gushing river, endless..."; he is Zhu Zhishan, one of the four talents in "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", who appeared in the whole L and splashed with real ink to paint the creative plot that made the audience addicted.
For the realistic comedic effect of the film, Chen Baixiang insisted on not using a stand-in, he dedicated himself to art, hoping to create a joyful experience and convey optimism to the audience.
People commented that Chen Baixiang's supporting role was "gold medal green leaf" and "the strongest auxiliary". But in fact, Chen Baixiang originally played most of the main roles, because an income distribution system allowed him to turn into a supporting role.
At that time, the income of playing the main role and supporting role in Shaw was almost the same, but the time and energy paid by the actors were very different. "It's a system issue. I'm too good at calculations. I will never be a male protagonist again. ”
The advantage of acting in a supporting role is that there are many opportunities, the drama is wide, all shaw directors of the film Chen Baixiang participated, and he has a share in each movie, even if it is only one day.
The sweat of diligence is poured out of the fruitful fruit. Chen Baixiang has starred in more than 60 movies and more than 100 TV series.
Chen Baixiang admitted that he could really enter the film circle because he was stained with the light of his wife Huang Xingxiu. When she was filming films directed by Wang Jing, Chen Baixiang has always been her driver, taking care of her before and after saddle, and getting acquainted with people on the set as soon as she came and went. Later, when Wang Jing filmed "Flower Heart Big and Little", she asked Chen Baixiang to star, so Chen Baixiang sat on a flying carpet that flew into the movie world.
A person will always meet someone who changes the trajectory of his destiny, and Huang Xingxiu is the angel who flew into Chen Baixiang's life.
Do not abandon, do not give up, and foam at each other
Huang Xingxiu, known as Xiugu, is one of the second generation of three flowers that TVB won in the early 80s, and his fame is not lost to Zhao Yazhi. She played Tie Xin Lan in the drama "Absolute Double Glory", which caused a sensation; in "Tianlong Babu", she played the two roles of Aju and Zhong Ling, which attracted attention. It is recognized as the "first beauty in ancient costumes".
At that time, Chen Baixiang and Huang Xingxiu fell in love at first sight. They are willing to stay with each other without giving up.
After Chen Baixiang went bankrupt for the first time, he ran to the Middle East alone, fell to the point of being unable to protect himself, and it was Huang Xingxiu who silently took care of his mother and became his safe haven.
Many people feel sorry for Huang Xingxiu, but such an excellent girl followed a dragon runner. However, Huang Xingxiu was optimistic about Ah Lat and believed that he was worth entrusting for life, and in 1979, they registered for marriage.
They have not had children since they got married, and Chen Baixiang once declared that he did not want children, but only wanted to live in the world of two people. However, many years later, Huang Xingxiu revealed the truth, it turned out that once she was filming too hard, stomach pain but did not follow the doctor's instructions hospitalization, a month later re-examination found tumors, after the operation of the body is no longer suitable for childbearing.
If you do not depart, I will not abandon you. Chen Baixiang still held her in the palm of his hand and said affectionately: "She is not a human, she is simply a fairy." God gave it to me. ”
Life is like a stock line chart, there will always be ups and downs. It is a blessing to have relatives to accompany you, and to share honor and disgrace.
In June last year, there was a "revision storm" in Hong Kong, with physical clashes in the streets and alleys, and the police were not safe. Chen Baixiang took the lead, and several friends of Tan Yonglin and Zhong Zhentao stepped forward and publicly "supported the police force, protected the rule of law, and kept tranquility."
He and his wife personally went to the front line of the police station and sent milk tea to comfort the heroes who protected the family and the people. Someone once threatened on the Internet to burn down Chen Baixiang's house. In response, Chen Baixiang responded: "I have no high church, no children, my relatives only have a wife, the only thing I worry about is that they will deal with her, but she is tougher than me in her thinking and supports me 100%. ”
In October this year, Chan received a phone call from the Chief Executive's Office congratulating him on his bronze Bauhinia Star, the only Hong Kong entertainer to be awarded this year, and the Chief Executive personally wore the medal for him. "Real hero", "Lat Song is awesome! Netizens praised and applauded.
Glory to the lover, Chen Baixiang frankly said: "If there were no her, there would be no me today, so I will cherish her for the rest of my life." ”
A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. Chen Baixiang did what he said, and he only took one scoop of water for three thousand weak water. Chen Baixiang has been in the entertainment circle of red wine and green all his life, but he has always been clean and self-righteous, married for 41 years, he has never cheated on a scandal, and has lived into a clear stream, worthy of the reputation of "virtue and art".
Now, they pet pet into children. On chen Baixiang's 70th birthday, the couple went to the racecourse to cheer for the love colt "Wang Wang Bao Foal", and the competing foal successfully ran first. When the reporter asked how much prize money was won in this horse race, Chen Baixiang smiled and said: "The prize money is not important, the feeling of winning on the birthday is very good, thanksgiving, good luck in a lifetime!" ”
Looking back at the past, Chen Baixiang was at the helm of the boat of life, he rode the waves in the ocean of life, he also experienced the waves, he also enjoyed the wind and the sun, let the wind and clouds change, and what remained unchanged was his cherishing of love and righteousness.
You accompany me to a room of two people three meals for four seasons, I promise you a heart of two people three lifetimes. The world is worth it, and the love is priceless.
