Hello everyone, welcome to Noisy Place.
This is a place that tells the story of old drama bones and the Wen gu Chinese film scene.
Today I want to come to the story of the big villain "Ji Chunhua".
Ji Chunhua died on the morning of July 11, 2018, at the age of 57.
The famous actor Ji Chunhua died of illness on the morning of July 11, 2018, at the age of 57. It was such a brief piece of news, coupled with that "fierce and evil" face, that made me feel a great sadness in my heart. Because I remember him saying that he wanted to be able to act until he was sixty.
In Ji Chunhua's life, he played most of the villains, and the image of the evil person played by him was still fresh in the audience!'
Vulture "Shaolin Temple"
The vulture in the movie "Shaolin Temple", the "poisonous man" Ma Ning'er who wears armor and can't enter the sword in "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", Duan Yanqing, who ranks first among the four evil people in the 2003 mainland version of "Tianlong Babu",
Duan Yanqing
We often say, "Actors have their own muscles and bones." If you don't have the power of the villain character, you can't play it. This is not something that all actors can do, looking at the entire showbiz circle can do only a few, Ji Chunhua he counts one!
If you like him too, you might as well listen to his story with the old noise.
Ji Chunhua when he was young
Ji Chunhua was born on July 20, 1961 in Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou Hanzi, when he was seventeen years old, Ji Chunhua was still a professional athlete in the Zhejiang Wushu Sports Team, his dream is also to become a professional martial arts athlete, if not filming, his martial arts career will also be suspended as a coach.
However, Tiangong is not beautiful, he had a serious illness, when drinking medicine, because of the use of aluminum containers to boil Chinese medicine, resulting in aluminum pot and Chinese medicine had a magical chemical reaction, after drinking the medicine, the disease is good, hair and eyebrows disappeared,
17.8 years old, a spiritual boy of Ben Erzheng, is the age of hard and free, but this sudden change has made him very inferior, wearing hats and bowing his head everywhere he goes.
You should know that people in the eighties were not very friendly to the attitude of "bald heads", and always felt that bald people were not like good people, like small hooligans, and the athletes at that time had requirements for the image, after all, they wanted to go out to play on behalf of a team.
What he did not expect was that a decision of the Sports Committee completely crushed Ji Chunhua, and he was called into the office by the leader, because of the problem of his image, he was dissuaded.
Ji Chunhua in the bald period
Ji Chunhua, who left the sports team and returned home, thought that his martial arts career would end, and he was depressed all the time.
He did not dare to go out, did not dare to accept the strange eyes of others,
As the saying goes, sai weng lost his horse, and it seems that he was destined to be in the dark.
Directed by Zhang Xinyan
In 1982, Director Zhang Xinyan directed the film "Shaolin Temple", because Zhang Xinyan was from Zhejiang, so he especially hoped to find martial arts actors in the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Committee to participate in his films.
Filming is not comparable to the performance on stage, height is a certain requirement, after watching a circle, I feel that the actors in the sports committee at that time are small, at this time the coach remembered Ji Chunhua, maybe it is also an opportunity!
Although he left the team, the friendship with the coach was still there, and the coach called him to participate in the actor selection, at this time, Ji Chunhua was still inferior because of the bald image problem. Originally he didn't want to go, but he couldn't help the coach, so he gritted his teeth, put on a hat, and went anyway.
At the scene, director Zhang Xinyan screened a circle of people, somewhat disappointed, because the sports committee at that time were all southerners, so the height was generally relatively small, which did not meet his expectations. He glanced casually behind the coach, saw The prominent Ji Chunhua, and quickly asked the coach, is he also your team member? I see him ok! The coach asked Ji Chunhua to go up and try it, and let him take off his hat.
Ji Chunhua was reluctant to do so, but when he saw the coach insist, he simply went on!
Zhang Xinyan asked him how old he was, he said nineteen, asked him how tall, he said one meter seven three, in the process of auditioning,
Sure enough, the unique image, coupled with Ji Chunhua's unique temperament, exuded an unconcealed charm between his hands and feet, and he was taken a look at by Zhang Xinyan.

Time passes for two months,
Ji Chunhua himself did not take it seriously, until the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Committee received a telegram from Zhang Xinyan, asking Ji Chunhua to go to Henan to shoot "Shaolin Temple".
But who knows, this has just reported, and he was sent to the army to learn to ride a horse!
Shaolin Temple crew
20 days later, Ji Chunhua was sent to the crew of the movie "Shaolin Temple", although he was sent to the crew, but Ji Chunhua felt that he was a martial arts practitioner, and he was not willing to be an actor at all, but when he heard that he could show his martial arts skills in the movie, he agreed!
Ji Chunhua has not made a movie, and does not know what acting is, even the three-word line "kill me" also talks about unfavorable so, acting is completely based on a wave of stunned energy, in the play Ji Chunhua played the role of "Vulture" has a jaw,blazing eagle claws, jumping from a high place down the classic action, in order to shoot this action, the director asked Ji Chunhua to jump down from the dam at the mouth of the garden, to know that there was no Weiya at that time, and the dam had a slope, only by jumping out of the slope, it could fall on the paper skin on the ground, otherwise it would definitely be injured At that time, there were 7 provincial athletes in the crew, and in order to win glory for the Zhejiang team, he didn't even think about directly agreeing!
Not only that, in order to fit the name of the role of "Vulture", he designed a set of eagle claw actions for this purpose.
It is such a stunned boy who is obsessed with martial arts that he successfully starred as a powerful villain.
His "wicked" image has also become a household name!
At that time, the professional villain type, it can be said that since Ji Chunhua's screen debut, the professional villain actor of this Chinese film has officially had a representative figure!
At that time, shooting martial arts films was very hard, earning 1 to 2 yuan a day, and sometimes not earning as much as ordinary workers in a month.
But Ji Chunhua is happy, although he can no longer be an athlete, with his true kung fu, he may be able to continue to expand his martial arts career in the movie, if he can play a national hero once, he will also make a lot of money!
After that, he took acting as a career and officially became a martial artist, starring in "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin".

In 1986, Ji Chunhua and director Wu Tianming filmed "The Yellow River Hero", and Zhang Yimou was also preparing the movie "Red Sorghum" at the West Film Studio, which had a bandit role called Flower Neck, but it was not decided! On the set, Zhang Yimou was very interested in the polished bald image of Ji Chunhua, thinking that he was a bandit, he was the "flower neck", the next day, Zhang Yimou asked the assistant director to go to Ji Chunhua's guest house to invite him to perform, but Ji Chunhua felt that this was not suitable for himself, "Red Sorghum" is a literary and artistic film, I am a martial arts actor, can not get this artistic work. Several invitations have been rejected, this Zhang Yimou is also stubborn, and Wu Dao renter is not successful, Zhang Yimou thought of Ji Chunhua's nobleman "Zhang Xinyan" director, under the persuasion of Zhang Xinyan's director, Ji Chunhua was relieved! So there is the bandit in the movie "Red Sorghum" who is also good and evil, and would rather die than a traitor, the bald three cannons!
The film's bald three cannons, although they are heroic and righteous in the end, still appear as a bandit, which is not counting the heroes that Chunhua really wants to play in his heart. However, a natural villain face, after being stereotyped, there is really no director who dares to break this convention.
Many directors think of him when the movie has a villain role! Why wouldn't he want to change his image?
Forced by this helplessness,
Therefore, Ji Chunhua has become a villain professional, and it is impossible to play a big hero, and he wants to make his own martial arts
Continuing to shine in the film, he began to hone his acting skills, practicing all kinds of bad laughs and evil expressions.
Fang Shiyu Sequel
In 1993, the "Fang Shiyu Sequel" directed by Yuan Kui, Jet Li invited Ji Chunhua to play the role of "Yu Zhenhai", although he played a supporting role, but the big villain played by Ji Chunhua appeared, the aura was not lost to the previous old partner, more than ten years of villain experience, for this role, gave an evil charm, in the movie, Yu Zhenhai put Fang Shiyu, the whole step on the feet and laugh loudly. That laughter destroys the decay, coupled with the Hong Kong-made martial arts film, the unique exciting soundtrack, telling Chunhua will be the classic moment of the villain, interpreted to the extreme.
Become a person in the line, and know the suffering in the line.
Celebrities, especially martial arts stars, can only suffer in the stomach.
In "Fang Shiyu Sequel", there is a scene in which Jet Li has to continuously hit Ji Chunhua.
And to punch to the flesh, the final film's positive and negative showdown on the screen villain was beaten, the audience was happy, but ji Chunhua was pulled by a rope and hit Jet Li more than a hundred times.
In the final film, Yu Zhenhai was killed in the anti-Qing restoration chair when his left leg was upright, and many people said that this pre-death shape was cool. But everyone didn't know that this was not a shape at all, but Ji Chunhua really broke his leg when he was filming the scene before, and in order not to affect the shooting, Ji Chunhua simply hit the plaster splint, and hurried back to the set to continue shooting. If you are careful, you will find that in the film, Yu Zhenhai uses his right foot when stepping on Fang Shiyu's face.
Wuxing can be a low-paid and high-risk industry in the showbiz industry, and most martial arts are only eating youth meals, and whether they can survive depends on the hard work of youth, or add a luck but most of them are not so lucky.
Therefore, Ji Chunhua is very cherished, so no matter the size of the role
Very serious and dedicated, willing to sacrifice themselves.
The Five Ancestors of New Shaolin
In the 1994 movie "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", he still played the main villain in the movie, Ma Ning'er, who became an abominable monster after being refined into a golden "poisonous man" by the western demon monks. In order to meet the appearance requirements of the role, the staff must apply a layer of glue to Ji Chunhua's body, then glue cotton, and then coat with white chemical paste.
Every time a shot was taken, the staff would brush another layer of yellow paint on his body, Beijing was very cold at that time, and there was no heating equipment on the scene, Ji Chunhua could only stand in front of two large 4K lights to heat up, for a long time, the chemicals in the paint
Penetrating into the skin, causing Ji Chunhua to be poisoned again, it is no exaggeration to say that each of Ji Chunhua's works.
Almost all of them are fighting for their lives.
In order to be able to play longer on the screen, Ji Chunhua will insist on exercising every day.
On the one hand: in order not to let their own kung fu fall behind,
On the other hand: it is another goal that he can play until the age of 60 and then retire.
The big bad guy on the screen, the reality is a person with good character.
A very easy-going person, his friend Du Yuming once commented:
Teacher Ji Chunhua has never found an assistant in his life, and all the work is done by himself, because he feels that if he insists on what he can do, he will not trouble others, and he thinks that looking for an assistant is to satisfy his own vanity.
"I usually don't go wrong with things planned. Man, it's better to be busy."
He said so;
Around the Spring Festival in 2018, Ji Chunhua felt unbearable back pain, went to the hospital to diagnose the terminal stage of lung cancer, and then concealed his condition.
On July 11, 2018, Ji Chunhua died of illness in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, at the age of 57, only three years away from his dream of "playing to the age of 60".
He once said: "Well, I played the villain, I died the most, but a friend told me, 'You are dying to promote the Fa, you are telling the world not to do bad things, and there is only one way to die if you do bad things.'" ”
This gentle to the extreme villain, he should not be forgotten by people, listening to his story, remembering his role, should remember his name - Ji Chunhua, a legendary actor who acted and moved the audience,
In the history of Chinese martial arts films, his name is also destined to be engraved on that peak!
