On July 30, the movie "Fury Case" was finally released. The explosive scene of the confrontation between the police and the bandits makes people feel a little addicted at first glance, and have the urge to find out.
At the premiere of the movie, many of Chen Musheng's friends came to the scene, including Jackie Chan, Wang Jing, Wu Jing, Lu Liangwei and so on.
This time, only the person who should have appeared at the premiere was missing - director Chen Musheng.
Last year, due to the advanced stage of nasopharyngeal cancer, a generation of famous Hong Kong director Chen Musheng passed away, and when he died, "Fury" was still in the post-production, and his life stopped forever at the age of 58.
Jackie Chan, who has worked with Chen Musheng on "New Police Story" and "Baby Project" and many other films, said: I will come to every premiere of his, so (this time) he can't come, I will thank everyone on his behalf, thank the audience.
The movie "Baby Project 3", which was originally planned to be made with Chen Musheng, was stranded and never had another chance.
Wu Jing, who came to the scene, was interviewed by reporters, and when asked about Chen Musheng, he was silent for a long time, with tears in his eyes, and choked up several times.
Perhaps, it is to remember the unforgettable time of the past when he was also a teacher and a friend, but because he was too sad in the middle, Wu Jing had to interrupt the interview.
After calming down, he was interviewed again, and a sentence made the audience also infected by this sentimental atmosphere, Wu Jing said: Chen Musheng, always in his heart. Thank you!
Time pushed back to June, at the press conference of "Anger", when the two leading actors Zhen Zidan and Xie Tingfeng took a group photo, they remembered Chen Musheng, and it was also difficult to suppress their sadness, leaving the "C position" to Chen Musheng, and now, the past has passed away, and at the press conference, there is only a chair that the director once sat on.
However, there may be many people who will ask Sister Hua: Who is Chen Musheng in the end, and how much charm is it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="14">02</h1>
Born in Hong Kong in 1961, Chen Musheng has many brothers and sisters in his family, and he is the oldest of the 6 siblings. There are genetic diseases in the family, all white heads, including Chen Musheng.
Therefore, the audience's most impressive impression of Chen Musheng is probably his conspicuous white hair.
When he was 7 years old, his mother fell ill and died, so that Chen Musheng suddenly became a child in a single-parent family, fortunately, his father's education of him has always made him very positive.
At that time, gangs were rampant in Hong Kong and social unrest. Father was worried that he would learn from the bad, and his greatest wish for him was: You should follow the example of the good guys and avoid the bad guys.
But a child whose heart is full of a sense of justice, which one does not want to be able to fight the sword to walk the rivers and lakes, fly the sword to take the bad man's head, kill one person in five steps, do not stay for thousands of miles, whisk away the clothes, and hide the merit and name?
The great "poetry immortal" Li Bai was still like this, and Chen Musheng's heart was even hotter, and he hoped that someone could come out to uphold justice, maintain peace, and punish bad people.
It is also this kind of psychology that makes him gradually fascinated by the world of martial arts, and has always fantasized that he can become a hero and punish evil and promote good. And what he wants to do most is Guo Jing in Jin Yong's novel.
In real life, it is impossible to be as happy as a martial arts novel, but in a special way, Chen Musheng found that it can be realized, that is, movies.
Chen Musheng lived in that era, which was the most vigorous era of Hong Kong cinema. Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, Du Qifeng, Wong Kar-wai, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen... Too many directors have sprung up, pushing Hong Kong cinema to the pinnacle.
In Chen Musheng's memory, the most difficult to forget must be three: Du Qifeng, Xu Ke and Wu Yusen.
In 1981, after graduating from high school, Chen Musheng went to ATV to do miscellaneous work, and after that, he jumped to TVB to work as Du Qifeng's assistant, filming "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", starring Lu Liangwei. and Liang Chaowei's version of "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens".
It can be said that the biggest influence on Chen Musheng at the beginning was Du Qifeng. Chen Musheng also admitted that Du Qifeng's layout, as well as on-site control ability and use of lenses, had a great impact on him, and later, he also imitated Du Qifeng in his own movies.
Du Qifeng was really good to Chen Musheng, fulfilled the responsibility of "master", not only took Chen Musheng to shoot, but also let Chen Musheng "practice his hands", filmed "Vinegar Big Husband" and "Killing Love", and waited until everything was completed before there was 1990's "Heavenly Love".

This movie, perhaps the most impressive, is the King of Heaven Andy Lau.
At that time, the idol baggage of the king was still very heavy, and from time to time he took care of the handsome, and asked the makeup artist to blow his hair again when filming. No less was scolded by Du Qifeng.
However, after the release of the film, it was a great success, and the box office reputation was double-harvested, winning more than 10 million box office, although it was inferior to Chow Sing Chi and Jackie Chan, but in the same type of film, it has been a good achievement. Andy Lau also won the "Korea's Most Popular Superstar" for three consecutive years with this film.
The emotional drama between Andy Lau and Wu Qianlian's wedding dress and blood rubbing on the motorcycle is still enjoyed by the audience to this day.
After that, Chen Musheng and Xu Ke collaborated on "New Crane Divine Needle" and continued to draw nourishment, just like the inspiration he got from Du Qifeng, he was constantly learning and constantly forming his own style.
In 1994, I went to ATV to shoot "Jingwumen", at that time, Zhen Zidan did not have his own masterpiece, and after the establishment of the company, the "Killing And Dancing" and "Legend of the Wolf Warrior" filmed at the box office hit the street, the action was smooth, but it was not successful.
On the contrary, it is not as good as the visual impact brought by "Jingwumen", the influence is also far-reaching, the feelings of home and country, the love of master and apprentice, although Zhen Zidan is deliberately paying tribute to his idol Bruce Lee, and there are many imitations of Bruce Lee's pictures in the film, but it does not affect the excitement of the whole play.
Zhen Zidan played a "turnaround battle" with this drama, perhaps, this is also the reason why after becoming famous later, when Chen Musheng has a movie shooting, as long as zhen Zidan is called, he will definitely be present.
It also includes "Fury", which was just released.
Like Zhen Zidan, there is Wu Jing. When Wu Jing first entered Hong Kong, he was still a lonely and nameless little actor. It is either a dragon set or a small supporting role, even in the movie "Kill the Wolf", which is well known to the audience, it is only a killer with few lines, and it is completely impressed by his excellent skills and professionalism.
In 2006, Chen Musheng found Wu Jing and invited him to star in "The True Colors of Heroes", and it was also in this play that Chen Musheng told Wu Jing that not only should he pay attention to beautiful martial arts moves, but also literary drama. A movie with martial arts and no inner drama is just an "empty shell".
The excellent performance of "The True Colors of Heroes" also made Wu Jing gradually enter the eyes of film fans, and began to let the audience realize that the mainland students who had martial arts actions on the screen could also be properly manipulated.
After that, Chen Musheng invited Wu Jing to continue to cooperate with "New Shaolin Temple" and "Whole City Alert", which gave Wu Jing more exposure.
As netizens said: Chen Musheng is the grace of knowing Wu Jing.
When Wu Jing filmed "Wolf Warrior 2", he specially invited Chen Musheng to be the guide, and when the film won the award, he also thanked Chen Musheng specifically.
After the big sale of "Wolf Warrior 2", many directors have thrown olive branches to Wu Jing, but due to injuries during filming, Wu Jing refused, only Chen Musheng, in the filming of "Dangerous City", invited Wu Jing to shoot, Wu Jing went without saying a word. Because he always remembers his commitment to Chen Musheng and 10 plays.
After making many movies, Chen Musheng's directing career is more or less regrettable. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director 5 times, but he failed 5 times and never won the award.
But no one can deny his achievements and influence in Hong Kong films, from "Baby Project" to "New Police Story" to "Sweeping Drugs" and so on, who says it is not a classic?
Unfortunately, Chen Musheng still left, leaving the last "Anger", but also left countless touching stories, quietly gone...
