On August 1st, several old drama bones in Hong Kong had dinner together.
Each is a very familiar supporting role in the early Hong Kong drama,
Again, each of them is old
Roland is 86 years old this year, while Hu Feng is 90 years old.
But Roland looks very energetic, and his white hair looks very fashionable.
Speaking of Roland, the first character that everyone thinks of is probably Qiu Qianshi,
The character is ugly, sinister, paralyzed, with thinning hair,
Even the biological daughter is calculated, which is the childhood shadow of many people,
It is also a classic image that cannot be surpassed.
"Condor Heroes" has been remade many times,
Changed countless children and aunts,
But Roland's Qiu Qianshi is still the standard answer,
Everyone's imitation refers to her version.
Roland in life debuted at the age of four, unmarried all his life,
Having experienced war, life is more exciting than drama.
Luo Lan, whose original name was Lu Yanying, was born in 1934 in a wealthy family.
His father was a lawyer and later went to sea to do business.
The factory at home is very big, producing soap and wax to sell to large hotels,
Well-paid and decent, a rich man.
Roland's mother was a woman smuggled from Indonesia,
Some southeast Asian features can also be seen in her facial features.
Parents have a huge disparity in status, but they break the world together,
In the twenties and thirties, it was a moving love story.
Roland's life as a child was sweet and happy, carefree,
It is Miss Qianjin who is dressed in fine clothes and food at home.
At the age of four, Roland was chosen to make a cameo appearance in a movie.
At that time, she was still the Miss Qianjin in the family,
The other party asked her father to let her appear on camera.
For Roland, it was just a game.
However, the good times did not last long, and the war began when Roland was seven years old.
As the richest family is the most vulnerable to looting,
Roland's family was no exception, having been ransacked after the war began.
Fortunately, the family is safe and sound, and my father can still support the family.
It's just that the standard of living is much lower than before.
However, in the second year of the war, my father died.
The top pillar of the family collapsed, and there was no guarantee of life.
The mother went out to work to earn money to support the family,
But Roland dropped out of middle school because he couldn't afford to pay the tuition.
At that time, she also had to look for work everywhere to make money.
But because she was too young, she hadn't done any work.
Couldn't find the right job.
One day Roland and the little sisters were hanging out, and on the way they met a crew that was selecting actors.
She was successfully photographed by the staff and got a chance to be a dragon set actor.
This performance allowed Roland to get ten yuan in compensation,
At that time, Hong Kong white-collar workers were only two or three hundred a month.
The ten dollars was much higher than my mother's daily salary.
So Roland wanted to make money as an actor, but was opposed by his mother.
As a former aristocrat, in the eyes of my mother, acting is a profession that is despised,
Even if she fell, she did not allow her daughter to be an actress.
But the reality of life is in front of us,
Coupled with Roland's constant persuasion of her mother, she eventually became an actress.
Originally Roland was just acting as a dragon suit actor,
Her appearance is very recognizable, and she is willing to work hard,
I got a lot of opportunities and finally let myself and my mother live a stable life.
It wasn't until the age of 26 that Roland was photographed by Huang Zhuohan, the owner of Guangling Film.
Signed her up and named her Roland.
During the Light Ridge period, Roland also failed to become the heroine,
But the company discovered her gorgeous side,
Let her play many exquisite roles such as Katsuhime and Futai.
It was also during this period that Roland left a lot of beautiful images,
She wears a cheongsam with delicate makeup and the most fashionable curls.
However, in Roland's twenties, the most beautiful age,
She did not become popular, and she was always a tepid supporting role in Guangling.
Ten years later, Roland is nearly forty years old,
She left Guangling, switched to TVB, and began another star road.
TVB has always been known for its various colors of Hua Dan,
Every year, Hong Kong sisters with potential will be signed,
There are also various beauties discovered by the scouts, which can be described as the spring color of the garden.
Even if the machine is turned on every day, the resources of the heroine are not enough,
Roland, who is nearly forty years old, is even less likely to become the heroine,
And TVB's positioning for her is her mother-in-law,
Since then, she has embarked on a green leaf journey of decades at TVB.
Roland has played Qiu Qianshi twice,
The first time in Andy Lau's version of "Eagle Hero" in 1983,
The second time in the 95-year Gu Tianle version of "Divine Eagle Hero",
She is also one of the few actresses to play the same role in two plays.
And she has a lot of friendship with the two male protagonists.
Andy Lau once said that when he was on the set,
Even if the role is not much, Roland has always been immersed in the role,
He was impressed by the fact that every minute and every second was contributed to the character.
Later, Andy Lau became a top star, and when he opened the concert, he also invited Roland as a guest.
And hold her hand tightly on his chest,
Sang a song "Only You in My Heart" to her.
Roland also specially put on a delicate cheongsam and put on gold wire glasses,
An elegant and noble appearance is enough to see her attention to Hua Tsai.
The two attended the award ceremony together, and Andy Lau also personally helped her to the stage.
See her as a very respectful elder.
When Roland and Gu Tianle cooperated, they also touched him with their professionalism.
There was a shot of her about to slap Gu Tianle.
At that time, Gu Tianle was still a fledgling little fresh meat,
And Roland is a great predecessor who has been filming for thirty years.
But Roland practiced carefully and repeatedly, for fear of hitting him in the eye.
Gu Tianle also gave her his private number,
Let her have anything to find herself at any time,
Every year Chinese New Year's Eve will accompany her to dinner,
See her as an elder who is as important as a mother.
The reason why Roland can get the respect of the two male protagonists,
Because she also made an unknown effort behind her.
Qiu Qianshi's most classic shot is the spit jujube launch,
In order to practice this skill, Roland specially bought back a bunch of dates,
Practicing the jujube stunt at home, blowing both cheeks hurt.
Although in the shot, there will be no close-up of this action,
Will also use other ways to show the power of Qiu Qianzhi jujube,
But Roland still insisted on entering the role, practicing at home to be satisfied,
Perhaps it is this kind of professionalism that has touched the younger generations.
In addition to Qiu Qianshi, Roland's most impressive role is the dragon woman in the ghost film,
In 1993, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the first time for "July 14th".
In 1997, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress again for "The Dragon Woman of July 13th".
Since then, the door to ghost films has been opened for her.
In the movie, Roland often stares at the big brass bell-like eyes,
Under the turquoise light, with the eerie music appears,
Creepy, her appearance will be accompanied by death.
Because Roland performed too realistically, many viewers were frightened,
So that he could not play, and when he saw her, he scolded her.
There are also viewers who are scared to go to the toilet at night because they have watched Roland's movies.
Until she grew up, she was seen as a shadow of childhood.
This also proves Roland's excellent acting skills, portraying the character into three points,
She also stood out from the crowd of gold medal supporting roles with ghost films,
With her own mark, in the more than five hundred films she has since starred,
Ghost films accounted for a third, giving her the title of Ghost Queen.
Such market recognition has also greatly alleviated her economic pressure.
TVB has always been known for its low remuneration in the industry.
Ouyang Zhenhua once said that in the 90s, his income was only a few thousand yuan per month.
And the sales that do a good job in the mall have tens of thousands of wages,
Ouyang Zhenhua is already the head man of TVB,
Not to mention how low a supporting role like Roland is paid.
Ghost films open up new markets for Roland,
Let her receive a lot of movie invitations,
She was the heroine in the movie "Burst Cop".
In this movie, Wu Zhenyu and Gu Tianle serve as the two male protagonists,
Roland plays a widowed old man with a mental disorder.
She often regards the two male protagonists as her two grandsons who she has not seen for many years.
A series of funny and heartwarming stories have taken place.
In previous ghost films, Roland also played the old man who lost his grandson many times.
But the previous characters always became crazy perverted and terrifying,
This time she became a loving and lovely old man,
It can also be regarded as justifying the title of his ghost queen.
That year's "Burst Police" became a big hit,
Wu Zhenyu and Roland were nominated for the best male and female protagonists, respectively.
In the end, Roland won the best female lead crown,
The best actor of that year was won by Andy Lau.
Although he holds the Emperor of Shadows trophy,
But Andy Lau was even more excited to see Roland win the award.
It was also the brightest moment in Roland's acting career.
She was sixty years old, the oldest actress in the history of the Academy Awards.
But this award did not help Roland transform,
Hong Kong's film and television industry began to decline,
There are fewer and fewer high-quality works, and the market for elderly actresses is getting smaller and smaller.
She still can't get rid of the invitation of a large number of ghost films,
He also plays supporting roles in various TVB dramas.
In the movie "Sister Peach" starring Andy Lau and Ye Dexian,
Roland starred in his own character, playing a graceful and luxurious big star.
The director of this role originally wanted to invite Japanese retired actress Momoe Yamaguchi to star,
But due to various reasons, the trip was not able to take place,
Later, Xiao Fangfang was invited to star, but she insisted on not making a comeback.
Finally, the ghost queen was invited, which made Roland a rare gorgeous time in the film.
This "Sister Peach" has won numerous awards, and Andy Lau once again won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Ye Dexian also won the award at the age of 65, breaking Roland's advanced age record.
In addition, Roland does not have too many impressive works,
And Roland, like many Hong Kong actresses, has chosen to be single.
Some netizens once said that Roland starred in too many ghost films, and no one dared to marry, in fact, it was not at all.
Originally, Roland had been in love many times when he was young,
Many times she was forced to break up because of her status as a star.
When Roland turned on the machine, he was often too busy to see anyone,
Sooner or later, I have to shoot a scene, and at first the man can understand,
But after a long time, I couldn't stand it, and finally broke up.
There was also a blind date, the other party was an ordinary working class,
Hearing that she is an actress is very stressful,
Feel that her month's salary is not enough for her oil,
The economic pressure of strong women and weak men makes the other party give up directly.
But Roland didn't think about finding insiders.
Only because when she ran the dragon suit in her early years,
I heard two male actors discussing the matter of finding flowers and asking Willow,
And these two male actors are already married, which makes her feel contempt,
I feel that men in the entertainment industry are not very at ease.
After many years of being single, Roland gradually got used to the life of a person,
She even suffered from phobia of male-female relationships,
Completely gave up on finding a boyfriend.
However, recently she and Hu Feng have spread out a twilight love,
The other is her long-time friend, and the two are often inseparable.
Hu Feng is also a gold medal bone of TVB, two years older than Roland,
When I was eighty-nine years old, I still had concerts.
Thirty songs in a row are still full of energy.
Regarding this twilight love, Neither Hu Feng nor Roland responded,
It's just that during the dinner, the two can avoid suspicion that there is no group photo.
Today, Roland has entered semi-retirement,
But it still continues to make films, but has drastically reduced its work.
Roland in life is very approachable,
There is no star shelf at all, often visit the market,
She chooses public transportation such as subway and bus for daily travel.
When encountering fans taking photos, those who come have never refused,
He has a very open and gentle personality.
In addition, Roland is also active in public welfare,
She is often active in community volunteers, helping others as much as she can.
It has also funded hope primary schools in the mainland for many times,
It's just that her fame is not big and hasn't been reported.
When the epidemic in Wuhan last year, Roland low-key donated one million,
Netizens were touched.
The living conditions of Hong Kong supporting actors have always been worrying,
Although there is some fame, Roland's film remuneration will not be too high,
This million must have been her savings of thrift,
Such generosity and kindness have made many popular stars ashamed.
Seeing roland's example,
Probably understand why Gu Tianle accompanies her to dinner every New Year,
Why did Andy Lau ask her to be a guest at his own concert?
Roland earned himself respect with his actions.
Today, the 87-year-old Roland is still childless and childless.
But she has worked hard to shoot dramas in her life, leaving countless classic works,
There are also top male gods who honor her like sons,
Isn't it worth it for a lifetime like this?
