I believe that many netizens have seen the movie "Mr. Zombie", in the cognition of many viewers, Lin Zhengying is the protagonist of this movie, Qian Xiaohao is the male number two, and Xu Guanying is the male number three.
But when playing the ending song, the audience found that Xu Guanying's name was in the first place. In fact, this movie does not want to win Lin Zhengying, but actor Xu Guanying.
The famous comedic genius in Hong Kong film is also the first person to refuse to accept the Academy Awards. Because of his low self-esteem and unmarried life, he died alone at home in his later years, so we will talk about this actor today.
In the last century, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was extremely popular, and many film giants were born, but in fact, in the Hong Kong film industry where superstars gathered, the "Hui Four Masters" can also occupy a place, and Hui Guanying is the third of them.
Hui Guanying was born in Guangdong in 1946 and immigrated to Hong Kong with his parents when he was four years old. When he was a child, Xu Guanying was very inferior, and Xu Guanying was the worst of the brothers in terms of talent and appearance.
Coupled with the fact that the eldest brother Xu Guangwen taught them very harshly, this led to Xu Guanying's very introverted personality.
In 1971, his younger brother Xu Guanjie signed with PolyGram Records and debuted as a singer. His brother Xu Guanwen said that he entered TVB and became an actor. After that, with the help of his family, Xu Guanying entered the Shaw actor training class, and then officially stepped into the show business circle.
In 1974, under the call of Hui Guanwen, the brothers founded the Hui Brothers Pictures and launched the Hong Kong martial arts comedy "Ghost Horse Double Star" starring the three brothers, which won unanimous praise from the audience.
But even so, Xu Guanying is very non-existent in front of several brothers, Xu Guanwen's acting skills are better than his, singing has a younger brother Xu Guanjie, and behind the scenes, Xu Guanwu is in control, and his position is very embarrassing.
Until 1976, Xu Guanying starred in the movie "Half a Pound, Eight Two", in which he starred in a seemingly humble, but in fact very shrewd migrant worker, and finally won the recognition of the audience.
After that, Xu Guanying developed towards this aspect, starring in many small people living at the bottom of society, playing ugly and bullied unlucky people. The more miserable he was, the happier the audience laughed.
After that, Xu Guanying starred in the zombie comedy film "Mr. Zombie", in this movie, Xu Guanying's role is the most, whether it is the emotional line or the ending, it is around Xu Guanying acting.
But in the end, the audience regarded Lin Zhengying as the male number one, Qian Xiaohao made the male number two, and then Xu Guanying. Just because of his appearance, there is really no sense of existence.
With this film, Xu Guanying won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, but Xu Guanying refused to accept the award, becoming the first person to refuse the award. Only because in his eyes, he is the protagonist of this movie.
Since this film, Hui Guanying has not worked with Lin Zhengying until 1992's "New Mr. Zombie".
In the 1990s, the rise of Stephen Chow led to the decline of many comedians. Xu Guanying began to try to transform, involving the music world to become a singer, and has a lot of achievements in music.
Although Xu Guanying has a lot of prestige in film and music, he himself has always been very inferior. Because of his looks, he felt that he did not deserve love, so he has always avoided marriage.
It wasn't until 2004 that Xu Guanying fell in love with one of his Japanese fans. This was his only marriage, and he cherished it very much, and even sang to his girlfriend on the stage.
But when everyone thought he could be happy, he himself denied the existence of the relationship, and he felt that he looked ugly and could not bring happiness to the other party. In this way, the marriage has not yet blossomed, and it has quietly disappeared.
After that, Xu Guanying gradually disappeared on the screen and enjoyed his old age alone. In 2011, Xu Guanying died suddenly at home due to a heart attack, and when he was found, Xu Guanying had been dead for a long time.
A generation of film giants quietly left this world. He has never married a wife and had children in his life, and it is impossible to imagine that a person who has achieved such fame and fame can be inferior to such an extent.
Later, when Xu Guanying's brother Xu Guanwen was interviewed, he once said this matter, saying that his brother had come to this day, and he could not escape the blame. I didn't do well in a certain period of time, and I felt that my family didn't need to take care of my emotions and didn't take good care of my brother.
Now that Xu Guanying has passed away, it is no longer helpful to say that these things are no longer helpful. Fortunately, Xu Guanying's life is not idle, from the film decades of time, leaving dozens of popular classic masterpieces.
