The just-concluded blockbuster drama "Mountain and River Order", in addition to being a delay drama, is also a very good martial arts drama. Twenty years ago, the five brothers of the Five Lakes Alliance gathered together to practice martial arts and create a arsenal that integrates the secrets of the world's martial arts.
Time is rushing, and the older generation's enmity and hatred are slowly surfaced along with the publicity of the truth of "Liulijia". When the mystery was revealed, the original Five Lakes Alliance had already collapsed, and it was almost sacrificed at the beginning.
So we learned a word — "old man of scrap." In layman's terms, many old people who have just appeared, almost just told the grievances clearly, they hurriedly went offline, and those glorious past events before they were born are still too late to recall, which is commonly known as this drama is very "wasted" old people.
In the real world, in 2021, in just 3 months, 4 old Hong Kong drama bones have left us. Many people have joked that 2021 is a "fierce" year and "waste" the elderly.
Today's entertainment industry is almost a traffic star and small fresh meat, and TVB has long been different from the past.
Who would have thought that it would be rare to see the old familiar faces of the past, but the news of their deaths, could not help but make people sigh.
And these 4 "ace supporting characters" represent 4 types of Hong Kong films, and their deaths evoke the unique Memories of Hong Kong films of our generation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="157" > the highest rank in the Hong Kong film industry, "Mother of Superstars - Li Xiangqin, the representative of TVB family ethics drama."</h1>
On January 4, just after New Year's Day, I heard the news that Li Xiangqin, an old drama bone, died of illness in the hospital at the age of 88.
Speaking of Li Xiangqin's name, many people may already be a little unfamiliar. But if you mention her work, or even see her photos, everyone will definitely have an immediate impression.
For many post-80s generations, Li Xiangqin is the loving mother in "Family Happy Affair", "The Strongest Thing" and "Flower Field Happy Event 2010".
In that era when "TVB production must be a fine product", whether it is a family ethics drama, a business war drama or a workplace drama, almost every department can directly hit people's hearts. And the familiar faces of those old TVBs have long been deeply engraved in the hearts of the audience.
Among them, the "Storm of Hearts" series reached a 50% rating at the highest time! Li Xiangqin played Mrs. Gan in "The Good Moon of the Storm House", and was nominated for "Best Supporting Actress" in the "2008 Ten Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony", and later won the "Most Outstanding TVB Female Artist" award.
She was 76 years old.
In 2011, at the age of nearly 80, she won the "Thousand Brilliant Performer Awards", which is equivalent to TVB's Lifetime Achievement Award, which not only shows the affirmation of her acting skills, but also fully proves her position in TVB.
In the talent-rich TVB, Li Xiangqin, as a famous supporting role in the Era of Hong Kong Films, can get such an honor, which has a lot to do with her personality.
Li Xiangqin, also known as "Sister Qin", her life is comparable to legendary film and television dramas.
Born in 1932, she has been an artist for nearly 60 years and has made countless masterpieces, although in her early years, she always showed herself as a "adulterous concubine"; since joining TVB, she has been a professional mother.
The reason why she is called "the mother (grandmother) of the superstar" is related to her liking to promote her descendants.
Li Xiangqin, whether inside or outside the play, has been the mother, mother-in-law, mother-in-law and grandmother of many well-known Hong Kong stars.
Among the former "Four Heavenly Kings" in Hong Kong, except for Aaron Kwok, the other three are the dry sons of the elderly Li Xiangqin.
Including Wan Ziliang, Lü Liangwei, Zhou Runfa, Ma Jingtao, Guan Juying, Zheng Yuling, Weng Meiling, Zhong Chuhong, Maggie Cheung, etc., as well as the new generation such as Lin Feng, Huang Zongze, Chen Fara, Li Zhiting, etc., are her dry sons and daughters.
Such a "grandma" level figure has fallen like this, and in the glorious moment of TVB dramas, her footprints are almost every TVB we love.
Unfortunately, the current TVB is no longer the TVB of the past, and I suddenly want to revisit "Storm of Hearts".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="174" > the real "heroic nature" - Lin Cong, the representative of TVB martial arts dramas</h1>
On January 31, Lin Cong died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 75.
This is another Hong Kong star that sounds strange and is known at a glance.
He has acted in many scenes, but most of them are not protagonists, because his personal image is relatively tough, so most of the roles in the works are villains, which is considered to be the "ace supporting role" in the film industry.
His most famous masterpiece is "The True Colors of Heroes" (1986) with Chow Yun Fat, Zhang Guorong and Dillon, which has become the most classic existence in the hearts of many post-50s and post-60s generations.
In 1988, he officially joined TVB and participated in many martial arts dramas as a "villain professional".
For example, "Chivalrous Journey", "Lu Xiaofeng's Legendary Ghost Mountain Villa", "Sword Demon Alone and Defeated" and so on.
Unfortunately, in the late 1990s, Lin Cong began to slowly fade out of the Hong Kong showbiz circle, developing to the mainland, and gradually turned to the background, working as a director and screenwriter.
This is also why many people are unfamiliar with his name.
Although he was never married and childless, Lin Cong's private circle in the show business was widespread, and Tang Zhenye and Ren Dahua were his friends. Tang Zhenye also rushed to Zhanjiang to attend his funeral and issued a speech.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="184" > the "gold medal green leaf" of Stephen Chow's series of films - Wu Mengda, a representative of Hong Kong comedy</h1>
On February 27, Wu Mengda left everyone forever due to liver cancer.
His last screen image was actually the "Grandpa Qinghui" link on "Ace to Ace 6".
In the show, he also revealed that he had a problem with his heart, and when asked if he would cooperate with Stephen Chow, he still had high hopes: "As long as I am still there, he has not retired, he will definitely have a chance."
However, who would have thought that in just a few days, the news that he was sick and hospitalized would come out?
On February 22, he was transferred to the oncology department for treatment and died on the afternoon of the 27th.
Now, that good wish has finally come true.
70-year-old Wu Mengda, known as "Uncle Da", has the reputation of "thousand-year-old green leaves". The classic films he has worked with Stephen Chow are the memories of countless people. As a famous comedian in Hong Kong, he used comedy to accompany many post-70s, post-80s, post-90s, and even post-00s childhoods.
Since 1990, Wu Mengda has participated in dozens of Chow Sing Chi films, and the two of them should be regarded as mutual achievements.
For example, "Gamble Saint", "Truant Weilong Series", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", "Deer DingJi", "The King of Destruction", "Nine Pin Sesame Officials' White Bread Qingtian", "Hundred Variable Star Jun", "God Of Food", "Shaolin Football" and "Journey to the West", etc., each of these movies is deeply rooted in our minds.
Together, Uncle Da and Stephen Chow opened and witnessed the golden age of Hong Kong comedy, leaving many golden sentences. His position in the film industry is affirmed by even the official media, and even 6 articles have been posted on the official micro-blog, and he has also mourned in the way of "revisiting the classic clip in 90 seconds".
The core of comedy is tragedy, Uncle Da's role in the movie, but always make people laugh out loud, and harvest full of positive energy.
Laughter is deeper than sadness, and even the feeling of coolness makes a deeper impression, and comedy is always more people willing to remember and share.
After all, everyone is willing, the memory of their youth is full of joy, although Uncle Da is a supporting role, it is remembered by many people.
Today's comedy industry has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and Zhou Xingchi's new movies seem to no longer be able to stir up too many waves.
When we are idle, we are always willing to pick up a comedy movie by Uncle Da and watch it, and relive the joy of our youth.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="201" > golden supporting character - Liao Qizhi, a representative of Hong Kong police films</h1>
For those of us who grew up watching Hong Kong films and Dramas, Liao Qizhi's name may not be familiar, but you can't not have seen his plays.
In 1980, he debuted by participating in "Shanghai Beach" and played a supporting role for Zhou Runfa.
Later, although for a long time thereafter, he remained anonymous.
But since 1992, Liao Qizhi has begun to go the way of police films, such as "Caged People", which won him the "1993 Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actor".
Including the later,000-known Criminal Investigation Files III, Infernal Affairs II, Kill The Wolf, Witnesses, Informants, Vanishing Bullets, and Anti-Corruption Storm, which we are familiar with.
What Liao Qizhi is best at is playing a low-level character. In many police films, he is usually not the one who finally wins, and even the ending is somewhat tragic.
And the photo of "TVB Old Drama Bone Late Scene Bleak" that has been circulating wildly last year is actually a still from his unaired work "Goodbye, Women's Street".
Liao Qizhi's death was really unexpected, obviously he was still filming, still active on the set, still shining.
A generation of golden supporting characters, just died.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="211" > conclusion</h1>
Could 2021 be a "murderous" year?
Since January, I have heard the news of the death of some old drama bones one after another, and I am infinitely sad.
Li Xiangqin is the representative of Hong Kong TVB family ethics drama, Lin Cong is the representative of TVB martial arts drama, Wu Mengda is the representative of Hong Kong comedy, and Liao Qizhi is the representative of Hong Kong police films, although they are all green leaves, but their sounds and smiles have long been engraved in our minds in the most brilliant era of Hong Kong films.
Once upon a time, Hong Kong opera + Taiwanese drama was the standard of life.
The post-80s who have not seen "Storm of Hearts", "Journey to the West" and "Infernal Affairs", their lives are incomplete, and those who have accompanied us through countless days and nights, in addition to those who are well-known film emperors, there are also their golden supporting roles.
They left one by one, making us sigh, is it a reminder to us that the glorious era of Hong Kong films has passed?
In fact, not necessarily, perhaps, Hong Kong films have entered a new period and are evolving in an unknown form.
The deceased is gone, all the way.
