In the showbiz industry, there are many people who desperately want to show their faces in front of the stage, hoping to reach the top of the showbiz industry and chase more fame and profits. But there are also some people who obviously have a good development, but prefer to give up the opportunity to become a superstar and choose to go behind the scenes. The artist I want to talk about today belongs to the latter, and his name is Guan Jiwei.
Looking at this name, it is estimated that most people are not very clear about this person. In fact, Guan Jiwei debuted in childhood, and played a Clever Little Ghost "Short Circle" who spoke Cantonese in the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", which was very impressive. You must think he is Chinese, in fact, he was born in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, he accompanied his brother to the interview, but did not want the director to choose him. It also made him a well-known child star, when Guan Jiwei was 13 years old.
The following year, "Seven Treasures" starred in the Library of Congress along with classic films such as "Ace of the Upside Down", "Spartacus", "Titanic" and "Die Hard". You know, the National Film Protection Agency will only select 25 domestic films every year, and place them in the Library of Congress for protection, as a "national treasure" for posterity. Therefore, American artists are proud to have their works enter the Library of Congress. It is conceivable that Guan Jiwei was very popular that year.
However, Guan Jiwei did not continue to make movies in the show business circle, but chose to go back to study. He didn't continue to return to the entertainment industry until he was 20 years old, but basically in Hollywood. The only domestically produced film is a cross-science fiction film directed by Liu Zhenwei in 2004 and starring Cecilia Cheung, in which Guan Jiwei and Zheng Yijian play a pair of good brothers who grew up in an orphanage, and Guan Jiwei is still a GAY in this film, and his appearance is a bit like Sun Yaowei. Although this film does not have the nonsensical and funny section of "Journey to the West" directed by Liu Zhenwei before, it is more exquisitely conceived and the ending is more unexpected than "Journey to the West". And there are some philosophical and thought-provoking effects, in short, this lesser-known movie is not inferior to the famous Hollywood "high IQ" movies.
Originally, Guan Jiwei should have the potential to become a superstar, but he was tired of the performance in front of the curtain, and chose to give up his identity as an actor and began to go behind the scenes. During this time, Guan Jiwei changed careers to become a martial artist and worshiped under Tan Daoliang. He also tried a variety of positions behind the scenes, he was also an assistant director in Jet Li's "Savior" movie, and this drama was nominated for the best fight scene at the 12th MTV Film Awards that year, and this award was based entirely on the box office of the movie, fully reflecting the audience's preferences, known as the "Oscar" of the public. This shows how good Guan Jiwei's talent is. He also worked as a special effects director and editing job in "X-Men", and he was really an all-round artist!
Not only that, Guan Jiwei also has a funny skill, speaking of nonsensical funny, everyone estimates that the first time will think of Zhou Xingchi, in fact, before Zhou Xingchi, Guan Jiwei had starred in the classic TV series "The Great Eunuch and the Little Carpenter" in Taiwan (many people may not have seen this drama, but its theme song <I was hit by youth> surely most of the friends after 7080 have heard), in this play Guan Jiwei has created this kind of funny movie form. Like his "Oh...... wow.......... Yes...... Words such as "punctuality" can later be seen everywhere in Stephen Chow's films! And his elongated deduction method "..... No....." Later, it was used many times by Zhou Xingchi.
Such a versatile person, now there is no news of him in the show business circle. The last time was in 2010, when he appeared on the 25th anniversary of "Seven Treasures", when he changed so much that the audience could not recognize him. However, a person like him, no matter in any industry, should be able to mix well.
