On August 23, the news of the death of director Chen Musheng attracted the attention of many Hong Kong film fans. And Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing, Xie Tingfeng, Gu Tianle and others also posted tributes on the online platform, recalling the bits and pieces of cooperation with the Famous Director of Hong Kong Films.

With the 96 version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", "Suzhou Second Tolerance", "Gunfire" and other works, Lu Songxian, who is widely loved by mainland audiences, also posted articles on social platforms to mourn director Chen Musheng, and at the same time lamented that the two major choreographers of "The Winner is King" have passed away.

Lui Songxian's post has reminded many viewers of the early years of TV editing and directing director Chen Musheng, and at the same time, many Hong Kong drama fans have recalled the Hong Kong drama classic - "The Winner is King".

At the end of the 80s, the emergence of "God of Gamblers" set off a "gambling film boom" on the big screen of Hong Kong films. The birth of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" also opened the prelude to the era of "new martial arts films".

After entering the 90s, the film boom of "gambling films" and "martial arts films" began to enter the TV screen.

In the early 1990s, TVB focused its creative direction on the shooting of "martial arts themes", and successively planned works such as "Shushu Mountain Strange Hero", "Nine Yin True Classic", "ZhongshenTong Wang Chongyang", "Legend of the Archery Hero", "New Divine Eagle Hero" and so on.

TVB's old rival "Asia Television" ATV focused on the "gambling film theme" and planned and filmed the "Winner is King" trilogy.

In 1991, ATV launched the first part of "Winner is King", which was loved by a large audience with its wonderful plot design and excellent performances of the actors. However, TVB's martial arts dramas have made Zhang Zhilin, Zhu Yin, Gu Tianle, Li Ruotong and others embark on the peak of their careers.

Although ATV's "Winner is King" is loved by the audience, several of the main actors in the series and the career development path are not very smooth. Now 29 years later, some of the main creators in the first part of "Winner is King" have passed away, some have a bleak career, and the highest achievement is the small supporting role in the film " Situ Shaoming".

Next, let's talk about the 7 creators in the first part of "Winner is King" and see how these people are now?

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >01, choreographer who died of illness - Chen Musheng</h1>

Speaking of this "Winner is King", it is impossible not to mention that Chen Musheng, the behind-the-scenes director of the play.

In his early years, Chen Musheng worked as a TV series director at TVB. At the end of the 1980s, Chen Musheng, with the support of "New Art City", participated in the filming of film works such as "Killing Love" and "Jixing Arch". And 1990's "If There Is Love in Heaven" made Chen Musheng's director name resound in the film world.

After becoming famous with "Heavenly Love", Chen Musheng was co-opted by ATV and returned to the work of TV choreographer again, planning this classic "Winner is King" for ATV.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Musheng in the early 90s not only planned the first two parts of "Winner is King" for ATV, but also filmed two Hong Kong drama classics for ATV, "Hong Xi Guan" and "New Jingwumen".

In 1996, Chen Musheng was widely acclaimed for his movie "Stormtrooper's Streets of Rage", and then was pulled into the banner by Jiahe, thus ending his tv choreography career and staying on the big screen of the movie wholeheartedly.

After "Who Am I", "SWAT New Human", "New Police Story", "Baby Plan", "Boy's True Colors", "Keep Talking", "Sweeping Drugs" and other works, Chen Musheng's film road has also risen step by step.

Unfortunately, in August this year, director Chen Musheng died of nasopharyngeal cancer, which also made those audiences who loved Director Chen's works feel sorry.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >02, disappeared "god of gamblers" Shi Zhikang - Chen Tingwei</h1>

In Hong Kong-made film and television works, if you mention the "god of gambling" on the big screen of the movie, Chow Yun Fat is definitely the first impression of the audience. And to mention the "god of gamblers" on the screen of Hong Kong dramas, "Shi Zhikang" played by Chen Tingwei must be the answer in the hearts of many viewers.

This "Winner is King" is like a "Laughing Pride Jianghu" cloaked in gambling films, and the role of Shi Zhikang is like "Ling Fox Chong".

Shi Zhikang was originally just a waiter in the "casino", because he met Qin Jian, Fang Zhen, Sun Yifeng and other "gambling masters" and learned a skill. Because he experienced one grudge after another, he and his former boss "Nie Wanlong" became a life-and-death opponent on the gambling table.

Such a growth experience can be said to be the same as "Making Fox Chong". Ling Hu Chong learned superb exercises because of his chance encounters with The Wind Qingyang, Xiang Qingtian, and Any Way I went. And the end of Ling Fox Chong is finally the opposite of the former benefactor. Because of playing this role that resembles Ling Fox Chong, actor Chen Tingwei has also been loved by many audiences.

In the early years, Chen Tingwei was an actor who graduated from TVB's artist class, and he was still a classmate of Aaron Kwok, Shao Meiqi and others. Because TVB has not been able to develop opportunities, Chen Tingwei jumped to ATV in 1990. As soon as he arrived at ATV, he starred in the male lead of this "Winner is King".

"The Winner is King" allowed Chen Tingwei to accumulate a lot of audience base, and subsequent works such as "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" and "I Am from Chaozhou" also gave him a good evaluation. At the end of the 1990s, the mainland film and television market developed vigorously. Chen Tingwei left ATV in 1999 to look for new opportunities in the mainland.

"Nan Guo Hong" in "Fast Mouth Li Cuilian" and "Thunder" in "Detective Thunder" have also become Chen Tingwei's representative roles on the mainland TV screen.

However, after entering the mainland, Chen Tingwei's career trajectory does not seem to be very smooth. After 2003, his figure began to disappear from the TV screen. At the end of 2016, Chen Tingwei, who had been silent for many years, made a comeback and starred in the movie "Chaoshan Storm".

However, the film has been hidden in the snow for many years and has not yet been released. Chen Tingwei's comeback road came to an end before it could begin.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >03, the ultimate villain "Nie Wanlong" - Qin Pei</h1>

In this "Winner is King", qin Pei, a powerful male actor, starred in the film's big villain "Nie Wanlong", which has also become a very classic role in the hearts of the audience.

When he was young, Qin Pei, with a handsome little face, became the male one and two candidates in many love literary and art films. However, with the increase of age, Qin Pei in the late 80s also embarked on the road of acting as a middle-aged villain step by step.

Qin Pei when he was young

In 1990, Qin Pei cooperated with Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda and others to co-starred in "Gamble Saint". The fierce "Hong Ye" role in the center of the film also made Qin Pei countless fans on the big screen.

In 1991, ATV prepared to shoot "Winner is King". In order to compete with TVB, ATV specially invited Qin Pei to be the main villain in the film. With the performance of "Gamble Saint" before, when Qin Pei played the role of "Nie Wanlong", he was also familiar with it and was comfortable.

In the early 1990s, Hong Kong cinema entered its final glory. At this time, although Qin Pei also participated in the filming of many television works, more often, he was still immersed in the movie screen.

At the end of the 1990s, with the decline of the Hong Kong film market, Qin Pei also chose to devote himself to the Hong Kong drama market, shooting Hong Kong drama works such as "Genesis", "Heaven and Earth", "Flowing Golden Years", "The Best Father of the World", "The Dignity of the Ninth Five-Year Plan" and so on.

After 2005, Qin Pei officially transformed the mainland film and television market with a "Li Wei Resignation Official". Later, TV works such as "Plan for The Plan", "Ambition of the Angry Sea", "Operation Without Borders", and "Jin Daban" also made Qin Pei widely praised in the mainland market.

After 2008, with the rapid growth of the mainland film market, Qin Pei also began to be active in mainland film works. In "Beijing Meets Seattle's Love Letter" and "The Situation Is Not Good", Qin Pei's appearance made many viewers shine.

In "Manslaughter" released last year, the snack bar owner played by Qin Pei left a deep impression on the audience at the end of the film.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >04, "Jiang Baiqi" with a bleak career - Lu Songxian</h1>

In "The Winner is King", Lu Songxian played Jiang Baiqi, who avenged his father. The accurate portrayal of this tragic role has allowed Lu Songxian to usher in a turning point in his acting career.

In 1990, Lui joined ATV as a newcomer. After experiencing the tempering of the dragon set of several TV works, Lu Songxian in 1991 won the role of the male number two "Jiang Baiqi" in "The Winner is King". And this role has also won him the love and praise of many audiences.

After "The Winner is King", Lui Songxian has starred in classic Hong Kong dramas such as "Sharpshooter", "Silver Fox" and "King of drama kings", and the popularity of the screen has gradually soared.

In 1994, Lu Songxian, whose career was gradually becoming popular, was recruited by TVB. So he left ATV and cooperated with TVB on "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu". And this work has also brought Lu Songxian's acting career to a new peak.

As he became popular on the TV screen, Lui Songxian also began to try to enter the big screen of movies. However, in the late 1990s, when the Hong Kong film market was declining, although Lu Songxian at this time also took over film works such as "Gunfire", "Kowloon Ice Room", "Rules", "New Sister Of Za", etc., only "Gunfire" was really affirmed by fans.

After 2000, Lui left TVB and began to travel in the TV market in the mainland and Taiwan, seeking new development opportunities. The repeated jumps in the mainland and Taiwan film and television markets have allowed Lu Songxian to obtain some drama contracts, but the continuous transformation of the development market has made him lose his fixed market audience.

After 2004, Lui's career gradually went into bleakness. Although he is still active in film and television works today, he rarely has roles and makes the audience remember it deeply. For Lu Songxian's name, the audience's latest character impression may be the "designer" in 2015's "Burning Heart".

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >05, humble heroine "Zhang Jiahui" - Wan Qiwen</h1>

In the early years, Wan Qiwen starred in the heroine "Zhang Jiahui" in this "Winner is King". It is a pity that this humble heroine image has not made Wan Qiwen's acting road set off too many waves.

Because she won the runner-up in the "Miss Asia" beauty contest in 1989, Wan Qiwen signed a contract with ATV and officially opened her own acting career.

In this 1991 "Winner is King", Wan Qiwen got the opportunity to play the heroine "Zhang Jiahui", but this humble hostess who has been silently in love with "Shi Zhikang" and has been rejected many times but has not changed the "licking dog nature", because the sense of existence is too low, did not let Wan Qiwen get too much audience popularity.

After "The Winner is King", Chen Tingwei, Lu Songxian and others have ushered in career turnarounds, but Wan Qiwen's acting road has not changed much.

After "The Winner is King", Wan Qiwen starred in TV works such as "Cello and Point 38", "New Jingwumen", "I Have a Date with Spring" under the arrangement of ATV. These Hong Kong dramas were widely acclaimed after they were launched, but Wan Qiwen fell into the spell of "drama celebrities are not popular".

In 1999, Wan Qiwen encountered a turning point in her life. This year, as the heroine, she starred in the new ATV drama "I Have a Date with Zombies", and the role of "Ma Xiaoling" in the drama also officially broke the spell of "drama celebrities are not red" and embarked on the peak of her career.

However, success is also the same, defeat is also the same, "I have a date with zombies" let Wan Qiwen embark on the peak of her career, but also let her fall into the trough of development.

In 2004, when Wan Qiwen was filming "I Have a Date with Zombies 3", she was forced to suspend her acting career because of the Weia accident and the death of a rib.

After 2008, although Wan Qiwen also chose to make a comeback, but today is different from the past, after the comeback, she can only play supporting roles and dragon sets in some works, and has long lost her former style.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >06, the eye-catching female number two "Nie Xitong" - Wu Qili</h1>

Compared with "Zhang Jiahui", who has a low sense of existence, the female number two "Nie Xitong" played by Wu Qili is much brighter.

Like Wan Qiwen, Wu Qili is also from a beauty pageant. Because she won the "Miss Asia" contest in 1990, Wu Qili was signed by ATV. In the 1991 "Winner is King", Wu Qili accurately grasped the demeanor and temperament of "Nie Xitong", a pampered and rich lady.

After "The Winner is King", Wu Qili won the favor of many film directors, and then entered the film industry, starring in film works such as "Two Houses and One Wife", "Flying Girl", "Youth Spark" and so on.

However, compared with her performance in film and television works, Wu Qili's private life seems to be more hotly discussed by the audience.

In 1999, the scandal between Wu Qili and Jackie Chan was exposed, and then the birth of "Little Dragon Girl" Wu Zhuolin made Wu Qili and Jackie Chan the focus of public opinion.

After experiencing this public opinion storm, Wu Qili's acting career also came to an end. After that, she also began to gradually fade on the big screen of Hong Kong films and Hong Kong dramas.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >07, "Situ Shaoming" who counterattacked the emperor of the film - Zhang Jiahui</h1>

Nowadays, Zhang Jiahui, who starred in "Situ Shaoming" that year, is undoubtedly the biggest winner in this "Winner is King".

In 1989, Zhang Jiahui signed for ATV as a newcomer actor. In 1991's "The Winner is King", he starred as Shi Zhikang's brother-in-law, Situ Shaoming, who works as a jockey at the horse farm.

At ATV, Zhang Jiahui actually starred in many works, but the response has been flat. In 1995, Zhang Jiahui, who had no success in his career, left ATV and switched to TVB.

At the end of the 1990s, Zhang Jiahui was favored by Wang Jing and began to transform the film industry. And Wang Jing's "Gambler 1999" also made Zhang Jiahui nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Around the new millennium, Zhang Jiahui followed Wang Jing to make many comedies, and also accumulated a good audience base, but the development of his career has been difficult to make a breakthrough.

In 2004, Zhang Jiahui left Wang Jing and transferred to Du Qifeng' men. And "Big Event", "Underworld" two-part series, "Banishment" and other works, but also let Zhang Jiahui's acting skills, has been further refined.

In 2008, Zhang Jiahui ushered in a turning point in his career. This year's "Witness" allowed him to win the Three Film Emperor Trophies of the Academy Award, the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Jubilee Award in one go. After the "Fierce Battle", "Sweeping Drugs", "Apostle Walker" let Zhang Jiahui step by step to the peak of his career.

After the release of "Winner is King" in 1991, it achieved good results. In 1992, Chen Musheng led the original team to shoot "Winner is King 2: Invincible under Heaven".

In 1993, Deng Yancheng took over this classic series and planned "Winner is King 3: Battle of Kings", but since this one, the "Winner for King" series has also begun to decline.

Now, with the death of director Chen Musheng, many viewers have recalled this "Winner is King" again. And the memory of Hong Kong dramas of that era is also like ripples, which rise in the minds of many people.
