Chinese mainland produced the first TV series since 1981's "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", and Hong Kong dramas of that era have reached a very mature point. With the introduction of ATV (then called Li TV) in 1983 by Guangdong Television Pearl River Television's "Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", the mainland also set off an unprecedented Hong Kong drama fever, in addition to "Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", ATV's "Grace of the Earth" and "Chen Zhen" are also classics of the times. At this time, TVB is not far behind, and their films such as "Shanghai Beach" and "Thousands of Rivers and Mountains Are Always Love" have also quickly swept the mainland. The above films are all based on the background of the Republic of China, and the drama to be said today is the 83rd edition of the costume martial arts drama "The Legend of the Eagle Hero" introduced to the mainland in 1985.
The drama is regarded as a difficult peak for martial arts dramas to climb, and although some scene layouts and martial arts action moves are relatively simple and the shooting techniques are lacking, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece in the old age. Each actor with quite a personality has conquered generations of audiences with superb acting skills, twists and turns of the storyline, innocent love, heroic feelings of home and country, the spirit of heroic righteousness, fierce fighting, etc., each picture is still deeply infected by audiences of different generations.
The drama has been 38 years since its premiere, and Weng Meiling, the former ice and snow smart, cute and delicate Huang Rong, has been dead for many years, and the handsome young students Huang Rihua and Miao Qiaowei have become old people who have passed the age of flower armor. And the "five best in the world" who used to be old in the play are still old people, and all five of them are still alive.
The oldest of the five is Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang, and Li Jianchuan, who plays Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang, is the youngest of the five absolute actors.
He was just a licorice actor at the beginning, there was no trace of him in the entertainment industry, and his date of birth could not be found on the Internet, only that he was a classmate of the ninth training class with Huang Rihua and Miao Qiaowei. Miao Qiaowei is 63 years old this year, and Huang Rihua is 60 years old this year, referring to the age of the two, Li Jianchuan is probably in his early 60s today.
Liu Dan, played by Beiqi Hongqigong, is the father of Liu Kaiwei and the former grandfather of Yang Mi, who is familiar to young audiences. Liu Dan was born in 1944 and is 77 years old this year.
Many mainland audiences have just met Liu Dan because of Feng Jingyao in 1980's "Shanghai Beach". He has also become the "spokesperson" of Hong Qigong, who has starred in Hong Qigong many times. In recent years, Liu Dan is mainly active in tvB longevity short drama "Love Home", and now 77 years old, he is full of red light and full of spirits, looking younger than Hong Qigong 38 years ago.
Yang Zelin, played by Ouyang Feng, was born in 1938, 83 years old this year, and has played for three TV stations such as Jiayi, ATV and TVB.
Yang Zelin's villain role is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition to the western poison Ouyang Feng, such as the Southern Big Brother in "God of Gamblers", Jiang Beihe in Liang Chaowei's version of "Absolute Double Glory", and Takeda Yukio in Zhen Zidan's version of "Jingwumen" are also classics. Yang Zelin began to fade out of the film and television circle in 2000, and later filmed two TV series in the mainland, "Dancing Out of Life" and "Who is the Real Hero", after which he completely stopped acting and was reported to have moved to Canada.
Zeng Jiang, the actor of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master, was born in 1934 and is 87 years old this year. Zeng Jiang debuted in the mid-1950s and has been in the show business for more than 60 years.
Zeng Jiang is an old drama bone that the audience likes very much, and the inside and outside of the play are through a "crazy" word, and the actor Ishoe almost no match for him. Now 87 years old, he is still active in the entertainment industry, and he is still present in the recent hit "Detective Chinatown 2".
Liu Zhaoming, the master of the Southern Emperor One Lamp, is the oldest of the five actors, born in 1931, and he is now 90 years old. Three years ago, he also starred as the main villain in "Casino Heroes". He's still in good shape, but he hasn't been able to get out of the pain since his wife's death in 2012, and he said in an interview this year that he found the world empty since her death.
The villain played by Liu Zhaoming in "Ghost of a Woman" has become a classic character in Hong Kong movie costume films. He is an actor whose positive and negative roles can be interpreted to impress the audience incomparably, like Yue Buqun in Xu Guanjie's version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", deep, hypocritical, morally calm, like the role of "a brother" in "Falcon", it is difficult for people to associate with the lamp master who can break the light and the heart of Yu Bodhi.
