In 2014, the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" directed by Lu Yang and starring Zhang Zhen, Liu Shishi, Li Dongxue, Wang Qianyuan, Nie Yuan and others was released, with a Douban score of 7.6 points, which is already a very good result in domestic martial arts movies.
But the most brilliant thing in the movie is not Zhang Zhen and Wang Qianyuan, but Zhou Zhouwei, who does not have many scenes, and the master brother Ding Xiu, who he starred in, is also good and evil.
Monday became a "brother plus money" that spread all over the internet. But in fact, this "name" has been preemptively occupied by people as early as 8 years ago, and this person is Hong Kong actor - Zheng Haonan. The name "as early as 8 years ago, it has been preemptively occupied, this person is the Hong Kong actor - Zheng Haonan."
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="5">01</h1>
In the Hong Kong showbiz circle, it can be roughly divided into two types of people, the first type of people, starting from the nameless little dragon set, and finally becoming a big instrument, becoming a front-line big name that attracts everyone's attention.
Another type is more fortunate, debut is the peak, playing the main role at the beginning, but also less lucky, because after the "peak" gradually went downhill, and finally gradually forgotten by the audience.
Zheng Haonan belongs to the latter.
In 1985, in Lin Lingdong's "Eros One", 21-year-old Zheng Haonan starred as the male number one "A Qiang". The partner was Ye Qianwen, a popular singer who was very popular at the time and was being praised by the company.
With his wonderful performance in the movie, Zheng Haonan was nominated for best newcomer at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards just after his debut. This is the first time that Zheng Haonan has won a more weighty award, and it is also the last time. After that, the goddess of luck never held out her hand to him again.
This year, as far away as Yuki on The Big Island of Japan, he studied at the school founded by Shinichi Chiba, and after winning the Japanese karate competition, by chance, after watching the movie "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse" starring Jackie Chan with a friend, he also had the ideal of being an actor in his heart, and he only had one thought in his heart - I should go to Hong Kong. In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong was the dream of many actors.
At that time, she did not expect that she would meet Zheng Haonan in the future and "rub" out a short marriage.
In 1986, Oshima Yugali finally plucked up enough courage, put on a simple bag, and left Japan alone for Taiwan. Soon after, he was awarded the role of Zhu Yanping's "Happy Dragon and Tiger List", and under the recommendation of his teacher Kurata Hosaki, he co-starred in "Rich Train" with Hong Jinbao, and stepped into the Hong Kong showbiz circle.
After the performance, Oshima Yugali was photographed by Chen Xunqi, known as the "Hong Kong all-rounder", and invited her to star in her new movie "Best Thief Partner". Don't look at Chen Xunqi's usual acting is very humorous, but when she really becomes a director, her serious appearance often scares her into not speaking.
In the same year, Zheng Haonan, who had tasted fame and fortune for the first time, was facing a difficult choice.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="20">02</h1>
In 1986, Zheng Haonan, who had just been nominated for the Academy Awards, received invitations from two directors, one was Xu Ke and the other was Wu Yusen.
The former invited him to play the male number one of "Dao Ma Dan", while the latter invited him to play the male number three of "The True Colors of Heroes", which was later "Little Brother Ma", and it is said that when Wu Yusen wrote this character, it was tailor-made for Mark Zheng Haonan.
After thinking about it, Zheng Haonan still chose Xu Ke.
Looking back now, I can also understand Zheng Haonan's choice, Xu Ke and Wu Yusen are the top well-known directors in Hong Kong, but Xu Ke and Wu Yusen's status at that time was different, and Xu Ke's movies "Ghost Ma Zhi DuoXing" and "Best Partner" series were sold out, and the limelight was in full swing. Wu Yusen is just the opposite, shooting one, box office hit the street, becoming a "box office poison" that investors in the circle are afraid of.
One is male number one, the other is male number three, and it is self-evident who to choose.
However, perhaps Zheng Haonan could not imagine that because of this choice, he missed an opportunity to become popular and rubbed shoulders with the Emperor of Shadows.
Zheng Haonan chose to go to the "Dao Ma Dan" crew, "succeeding" Zheng Haonan to play the little ma brother, it fell on Chow Yun Fat, when Chow Yun Fat was also very frustrated, the same by the Hong Kong film circle as "box office poison", two frustrated people, plus a Dillon whose fame has gradually become less than before, thus creating a "legend".
Because Zhou Runfa's acting skills are too good, the more he acts, the more he feels, and the role of Xiao Ma Ge is also increasing, and later, the role is almost more than that of the lead actor Zhang Guorong.
After the release of the film, it was widely acclaimed, Chow Yun Fat and Wu Yu Sen both "turned over", the box office reputation double harvest, Chow Yun Fat also won the sixth Hong Kong Film Awards "Film Emperor" with the role of Xiao Ma Ge.
Although "Knife And Horse" was equally successful, it was far inferior to "The True Colors of Heroes" at the box office, and even less than half of its box office.
Frustrated in her career and proud of her love scene, not long after, a girl named Bo Anne walked into Zheng Haonan's vision.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="33">03</h1>
Born in Hong Kong in 1963, Bo Anne came from a well-off family, a British student, and a proper Bai Fumei. In that era when Hong Kong was rich in beauty, even if you stood with beauty such as Luo Meiwei and Yuan Jieying, you did not lose at all.
Later, he became the object of Zhou Xingchi's two invitations, and "chased" twice in the movie.
Zheng Haonan is also the only boyfriend she has publicly acknowledged. Once on "Tonight No Defense", Zhang Guorong once revealed that he had selected underwear for Bo Annie, and the host Huang Xia jokingly asked: So, Bo Annie is "lost" to you? As a result, Zhang Guorong immediately laughed and said: You are a vegetarian when Zheng Haonan is a vegetarian!
Unfortunately, this relationship did not last, and it was rumored that at that time, while pursuing Bo Annie, Zheng Haonan was also ambiguous with Maggie Cheung, which also became the "fuse" for him and Bo Annie to break up.
Just when everyone was speculating about the direction of the relationship between the two people, in 1991, Zheng Haonan suddenly announced the news of his marriage to Yuki Ōshima, which surprised people.
However, the marriage did not last long, only 3 years, and then it was declared over. The reason for the end, in The words of Zheng Haonan, is the problem of distance. At that time, Zheng Haonan often filmed in Hong Kong, and his wife often ran to Singapore, and the feelings gradually became estranged.
Oshima Yugali is also a "cruel man", after marriage, Zheng Haonan's acting career has not had a new breakthrough, and he has been sad all day. At that time, Hong Kong wind and moon films were rampant, and Oshima Yugali simply encouraged Zheng Haonan to devote himself to the filming of wind and moon films, hoping to find another way.
In 1993, with the encouragement of his wife, Zheng Haonan also began to "go to the sea", starring in his first wind and moon film "Rape of Hong Kong Strange Case", starring as a perverted yin magic lawyer. The film also brings together Qiu Shuzhen, who is praised by Wang Jingli, as well as Li Lizhen, Liang Jiahui and others.
After that, I couldn't control it and filmed a lot of wind and moon films one after another. Unfortunately, they could not let Zheng Haonan "counterattack". Until 1998, it was remembered by many audiences with the role of "Situ Haonan" in "Ancient Puzzle Boy".
After that, he once again starred in Wang Jing's Fengyue film "The Naked Lingchi of the Ten Great Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty", but unfortunately did not make many waves.
Frustrated for a few years, in 2002, after filming "Blue Blooded Man", Zheng Haonan gradually faded out of the show business circle and went to Malaysia, where he met his second wife Bao Ailing and ran a restaurant with the help of his wife.
After returning to the Hong Kong showbiz circle in 2004, he starred in "I Have a Date with Zombies" in Wang Fuxi.
The following year, he was invited by Du Qifeng to play the role of the killer "Wu Ge" in "Underworld 2". Is a tragic killer who recognizes money and does not recognize people, although he loves money, he also has his own stubborn principles. A sentence of "I recognize money and do not recognize people", let Zheng Haonan xi mention the nickname of "brother plus money", which is still enjoyed by the audience.
However, in the future, although I have starred in many works, there are few characters that are more impressive.
Because of filming, he fell ill, implanted more than ten steel nails in the body, until last year, he was not taken out, after 2015, Zheng Haonan rarely filmed, and gradually "disappeared" in the audience's sight.
Recently, I saw the news of Zheng Haonan again, it was already the news that Zheng Haonan and his friends were having dinner, only to see that he was drinking a bottle of beer for 5 yuan in the video, which was very grounded.
Some people also sighed: Honan Brother is old.
Yes, the gradual decline of Hong Kong movies, the former male gods are gradually getting old, the "crow" Zhang Yaoyang, who played the bad guys, and Zheng Haonan, who also starred in the most bad guys, are like this.
However, the classics they left on the screen are still there, and that's enough, maybe.
