In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong films were inseparable from the Taiwanese market, and a large number of Taiwanese actors went to Hong Kong to develop, and many Hong Kong actors were invited to Taiwan to open up the performing arts market. We all know that among the Taiwanese actresses who went to Hong Kong for development, the best performing performances are not Wang Zuxian, Lin Qingxia and Wu Qianlian, while the Taiwanese actors, Wang Yu, Ke Junxiong, Qin Xianglin and Zou Zhaolong and others have also left a deep impression. In fact, there are three male actors among them, not only have they cooperated with big directors and big stars, but they are also comfortable with the positive and negative angles, but they are not often mentioned for various reasons, so who are they?
Wu Xingguo: Wu Xingguo was born as an opera actor, and from an early age he studied Peking opera with Li Jintang, one of Taiwan's "four old students", and it did not take long to be pushed to the position of the protagonist, in the 1980s, Wu Xingguo was already a big name in the Taiwan opera industry, and his performance footprints were all over Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
In 1993, Wu Xingguo was favored by female director Luo Zhuoyao when performing in Hong Kong, and played the role of Shi Yansheng, a close confidant of Li Jiancheng, in "Seducing Monks", and was praised for his evil and crazy performance style. In the same year, Wu Xingguo also attracted the attention of Xu Ke because of Xu Xian in the Peking Opera "The Legend of the White Snake", and was invited to play the role of Xu Xian again in "Green Snake", many people thought that Wu Xingguo was only in his early 30s when he starred in this film, but in fact, he was 40 years old at this time, and he had to say that the collagen on his face was really good.
In 1994, Wu Xingguo released five films, spanning the arts and businesses, and the types of characters were not duplicated. Among them, huang Zhiqiang directed the police film "The Most Wanted Criminal", In which Wu Xingguo showed the image of a righteous mainland public security, and the new martial arts film "94 One-Armed Knife Love", Wu Xingguo played Wang Ning, the son of Bai Fuguo, who carried a deep vengeance in the blood sea. And this year's "Western Chu Bawang" and "Red Roses and White Roses" proved that he could also take the road of ancient costumes and literary and artistic drama. However, in these 5 works, his most brilliant role is not the villain in "God of Gamblers 2", who looks good from the outside, but is full of conspiracies and tricks, and even kills Gao Jin's wife and children, and finally Gao Jin's knife to him is really relieved.
In addition, Wu Xingguo is also good at playing big people, like the tycoon Feng Jingyao in "New On the Beach" and Chiang Kai-shek in "The Song Dynasty". However, Wu Xingguo later returned to his favorite Peking Opera stage, and he also founded a contemporary legendary theater in Taiwan, aiming to promote the development of Taiwan's native Peking Opera and cultivate more outstanding inheritors, and Peking Opera actor Sheng Jian is his eldest disciple.
Lou Xuexian: Audiences familiar with Hong Kong films in the 1990s may still have a little impression of Lou Xuexian. He first debuted as a fashion model, and his starting point for joining the Hong Kong showbiz circle is not low, his first film "Twelve Hours of Shocking Heaven" was cooperated with Tam Wing Lin and Andy Lau, in addition to participating in Jackie Chan's "Simple Mission" and so on.
Lou Xuexian's performance style is atmospheric, and it is difficult to say what he is most suitable to play and what is not suitable for playing. However, Lou Xuexian's most memorable role should be Ryuichi Wasagawa in the Hongkou Road Venue in "Jingwu Hero". He killed Huo Yuanjia in the competition, but in the end he was beaten by Chen Zhen who came to kick the pavilion, strictly speaking, this character is not a villain in the traditional sense, he is still a good man, bent on playing a dignified competition with Huo Yuanjia, but because of the interference of the Japanese military circles, he carried the black cauldron, and finally died at the hands of Tsuyoshi Fujita, which is generally a more cup-and-cup character.
Do you remember Gong Tianbao in "The Rampaging of the Burning Island"? This character is somewhat similar to the character of Wang Yu in "Burning Island", and as the plot develops later, its image gradually shifts from the initial negative side to the front.
In the past few years in the Hong Kong film industry, although it seems that the development situation is quite good, in fact, there are more supporting roles than protagonists, and he has starred in many three-level films to limit the development of his drama path, making him determined to be an ordinary person. Lou Xuexian, who returned to Taiwan, devoted himself to science and technology and quit the show business for 10 years, but it is said that because he could not afford huge family expenses, he returned to filming to supplement the family, and the last time I saw him was the boss behind the scenes in "The Comeback of the King of Horns 2".
Qin Hao: Qin Hao, an actor from Taiwan, is also a martial arts actor and has become famous in Taiwan before entering the Hong Kong film industry. The first Hong Kong film he participated in was 1991's "Gamble Zun", in which he played a traitor who was originally Wan Ziliang's protégé, but later wanted to take away everything around him, and this role also put Qin Hao on the road of an uncontrollable villain.
Qin Hao's image and drama path are actually similar to Zou Zhaolong's, his appearance is cold and temperamental and he appears to be kong wu powerful, relying on fierceness and arrogance to play a villain, and in the image, he looks like an evil person, and he raises his eyes to make people feel afraid across the screen.
However, at that time, Zou Zhaolong was mainly attacking the villain in the martial arts action movie, and Qin Hao was all types of all-you-can-eat. Like the liming brother in Twelve Lesser temple streets who has no one in sight and is bent on putting twelve less than the land of death, many viewers hate it to the teeth, and the who chase Ren Dahua in The Love of the Glass Gun and the killers who go out with the prince in The Legend of the Prince are representatives of its cold-blooded anti-angle. In addition, he also participated in a Taiwanese film "School Bully" starring Jin Chengwu and Lin Zhiying, in which he portrayed the image of the head of the leper, which is also three points into the wood.
During the development of Hong Kong, Qin Hao and Hong Jinbao, Jacky Cheung, Ren Dahua, Wan Ziliang have acted in rival plays, but also with Andy Lau has cooperated many times, although he played more villain roles than decent roles, but he was able to achieve a place in the Hong Kong film industry with such a huge competitiveness, and even in the star-studded "Burning Island" and "Five Lucky Stars" series can win roles, it is indeed very difficult, but also a testimony to his acting strength.
Around 1995, Qin Hao returned to Taiwan to develop, during which he participated in the filming of several TV series, among which the noble and domineering Ouyang Invincible in "Central Plains Dart Bureau" was regarded as a classic in Qin Hao's screen role, which is still evocative to this day. But soon, he went to the sea to do business and disappeared, and he left very thoroughly.
