On the 23rd, Hong Kong actor Liao Qizhi was reported to have stomach cancer and announced an "indefinite suspension of work".
Hong Kong film fans and TVB fans are worried about this green leaf drama, because the news does not sound very optimistic.
But no one expected the bad news to come so quickly.
At 8:32 p.m. on March 28, 2021, Liao Qizhi died of stomach cancer at the age of 66.
You must have seen him in the movie more than once.
But I may not know this familiar face well.
In a word, Liao Qizhi may be the closest Hong Kong film to the existence of the sweeping monk.
01
What we know about Liao Qizhi is:
The bottom layer of intellectual disability.
△ "Caged People"
The King of Turbulence.
△ "Informant"
Gang members.
△ Infernal Affairs 2
Adulterer.
△ "Legal Strongman"
Die to be chosen as an ambitionist.
△ "Election Campaign"
On the awards, the Academy Awards nine mention two, the best supporting actor.
On word of mouth, director Du Qifeng, the famous swear cannon, also praised: "He is a good person and a good actor, and he is a model for Hong Kong filmmakers." ”
As an actor, he, remarkable.
However, Iliao Himself, what he wants us to know is that it is superfluous, and he does not want us to know.
This is his Weibo.
No V certification, seven thousand fans, two blogs.
Thank you for your attention.
A thank you for the nomination of the Academy Awards.
This is his norm.
Come to Guangzhou to shoot a play, take a bus to the crew.
Asked, he said, "One thing that I find very common. Out of the train station, can't get a taxi, just want to take the bus is no problem. It was night, and the bus wasn't too crowded, so I sat down. ”
In my own neighborhood, I often buy vegetables downstairs.
YouTube netizens who live in the same community broke the news that they are "friendly and modest, but the mood does not seem to be very good."
It was his refusal to expose.
The reporter asked him if his birthday was difficult because it was only two days away from the death of his youngest son.
He pointed out that the online birthday was wrong.
The reporter tried to ask for the real date, and he recognized the laughter and shook his head vigorously - "It will not be deliberately clarified, nor is it needed." ”
Even, the stills circulated on the Internet, and they were rumored to be poor.
He also calmed down and did not say a word.
Debunking rumors?
It wasn't until the brokerage company couldn't see it that it came forward to declare it for him.
In him, being a good actor doesn't seem to be anything remarkable.
Everything was like what he told Huo Jianhua.
How to be a good actor?
"You can do a good job, you can be a normal person."

Unfolding Liao Qizhi's resume according to the timeline is not like a star, but more like an ordinary person who honestly plays a good job.
In 1954, Liao Qizhi was born.
In 1979, at the age of 25, Liao Qizhi entered a wireless training class.
In 1980, he debuted with "Shanghai Beach", which was a match for Zhou Runfa's version of Xu Wenqiang.
There are countless dragon sets during this period.
In 1993, he returned to the public eye and won the Academy Award directly for his supporting roles.
Caged People.
In 2003, the youngest son, Nono, was diagnosed with leukemia.
In 2006, Nono passed away.
During these three years, he accompanied the sickbed, took good care of him, and hated not being able to fulfill Nono's every wish.
Liao Qizhi bore the pain, the digestive pain, and he did not let himself be knocked down.
His work is still being produced.
Liao Qizhi played a supporting role, but there was almost no sloppy failure.
His performance is first and foremost accurate.
The same is the police.
In "Kill the Wolf", he uses frequent fragments of body language to highlight a "manic".
"Cordon" emphasizes a "loyalty" with a step-by-step and tight look.
The Father is "merciful."
Division, "Strict".
But accurately, it is only the first layer of performance.
Today, director Lin Chaoxian learned of Liao Qizhi's death and posted an article recalling the ending scene of "Informant".
At that time, Liao played an informant who was beheaded by the enemy family to the point of insanity. In the last scene, he was filmed in the Temple Street Song Hall to watch the singer sing, because he was insane, he listened and listened, and he would mistakenly think that the singer was his ex-wife.
Lin Chaoxian's original words were:
"Uncle Zhi's performance made us all stunned. He is crying and acting, but in fact, he is crying and laughing while staying, three emotions are disrupted to do, warm when laughing, sad when crying, lonely when staying, a shot falls straight, a song "Whenever changes" Time, once and again repeatedly play three emotions, each emotion into the wood three points. We looked at the mon and prayed. ”
After that, he asked Liao why he thought of acting like this?
Liao replied that he had watched a documentary the day before filming about people who had been criticized for being insane, and one of them was crying and laughing like that.
But Lin Chaoxian clearly saw a deeper layer.
He wrote:
"To perform this kind of emotional drama, you must use the deepest pain in your heart, and you don't mind taking out the most painful and painful in your heart to perform a play, this is professional." Uncle Zhi is such an actor. Uncle Zhi, we will miss you very much, please rest in peace. ”
Sir only felt that after reading this passage for the first time, he only meant something.
Later, listening to Liao's acceptance speech of the second Academy Awards, I felt that there were several points of great significance.
For example, as soon as he took the stage, he called Nono's name, even though he had been dead for a long time.
For example, he mentioned nono, "Although you are not by my side today, this trophy has your share." ”
Sir really wants to decrypt the deep code of Liao Qizhi's performance.

In fact, if we look at the world with a slight cold eye, we feel that "leaving" is tantamount to the last major test of a star's acting career.
How will people remember him?
How to be brilliant in sound and light before death, the viewer will only quickly purify in the depths of memory and complete the most straightforward sentence.
Placed on Zhang Guorong, it is a separate chapter in the history of Chinese film and television art.
In Wu Mengda, it is a silhouette of HuanXinyu in Hong Kong movies.
In Liao Qizhi, this answer is unified to the minimalist.
Today, his Weibo coded up a thousand-storey high-rise building, and the fans shouted "Three Uncles" in unison.
"Ever since Infernal Affairs, I've been calling you Uncle Three"
Naturally, there are actually many highlight moments of Liao Qizhi's performance.
However, the third uncle, undoubtedly the most representative, is not one of them.
First of all, it grows in the infernal road character atlas, which is a dazzling spot of Hong Kong films in the era of the times.
Secondly, it can be called a classic example of the aesthetics of the actor's own efforts.
Finally, in the interpretation of this role, it contributes to the ultimate reason why Liao Qizhi is a liao qizhi as an actor.
This is also the most distressing part of actor Liao Qizhi.
To clarify this topic, Sir has no choice, and must make this matter clear.
The early death of Liao Qizhi's youngest son, Nono.
At the funeral, Liao Qizhi and his wife shared their memories of the past few years with Nono, as well as their experiences when Nono left.
Finally, a promise to my son— a promise, and we'll see you again.
He chose to be strong, he chose faith.
But as a father, the pain in his heart did not stop so easily.
A tweet on Facebook revealed that he "repeatedly read whether I did something wrong and caused Nono to have this disease." ”
I even suspected that the glue paint I bought to repair the roof released toxic substances. (Harmful gases such as formaldehyde can cause leukemia)
Liao Qizhi is religious.
Such a great sin, but he carried it on his own. That torment is unimaginable.
According to Huo Jianhua, during his cooperation with Liao Qizhi in 2010 on "Strange Man and a Branch of Plums", it was common for him to come to the set early and listen to a Walkman when he made up.
After asking, I learned that it was playing a poem that Nono had sung before his death.
By this time, it had been three years since Nono's death.
In another interview, the reporter asked about Nono.
Liao replied frankly, chatting with him in his heart every day.
What to talk about? What he saw and heard, or the tacit understanding between the two of them.
He stressed, "It's normal. ”
At this point, Nono had been gone for ten years.
However, this seemingly strange wedge may tell us what kind of actor Liao Qizhi is.
Back to Uncle Three and Harmonica.
In this scene, the Ni family is cleaning up the portal. In the limited field of vision illuminated by the headlights, the shovels are up and down, the iron collides with the earth and stones, and the rustling sound conveys a terrible proposition about being buried alive.
At this time, there was a burst of harmonica, and the empty valley footnote - "Friendship is long".
Murder and friendship.
Tense and melodious.
Black and light.
All elements allude to the ancient Chinese aesthetics of yin and yang.
Regarding the origin of this classic, it is not so much a sudden thought:
The crew was busy, and then everyone heard the harmonica, and just when it was strange, Liao Qizhi walked up to the two directors and said lightly, I want to play the harmonica. Liu Weiqiang and Mak Siu-fai felt very dazed, and then asked him what he meant. But he didn't explain, so he went to the side and played the harmonica again. ”
Rather, Liao Qizhi retrieved the common memories of him and his son.
This harmonica piece was learned little by little while he was at Nono's bedside.
These things can be used to feed back acting.
This is what makes Liao Qizhi distressed.
After a little life experience, we understand that after suffering great trauma, as an instinct, people will tend to build a high wall along the emotional boundary, closing themselves off to protect themselves.
On the big screen, wong Kar Wai's film world, there are autistic masters.
In reality, there is no shortage of top actresses who said to themselves after the Internet storm that "I have long quit my emotions."
Liao Qizhi crushed this instinct for self-preservation.
He licked and tore the wound over and over again, licked it, tore it open, and he allowed himself to indulge in pain, and the pain became the deepest part of the performance.
What's more, this exclusive memory can even be shared.
Even today, the news of his death spread, and screenwriter Zhuang Meiyan recalled Liao like this.
When collaborating on "Wild Boar", Liao's partner Lin Jiaxin played a mother who lost her son.
When Lin Jiaxin was pondering this mood, Liao actually walked over and inspired Lin with his own personal experience.
This actor is so cruel to himself.
When he performed, he did not hesitate to stab himself with scars and blurred flesh and blood, and created a massacre for himself.
He never let go of Nono, and Nono never really left.
Now that he has revisited his second Academy Awards acceptance speech, Sir really understands.
At that time, he burst into tears:
"Although you (Nono) are not with me today, you have your share of this trophy."
Every minute of Liao Qizhi is in the play.
Sir looked forward to reuniting with him again in Liao Qizhi's works.
