She played a supporting role all her life, but gave birth to three male protagonists.
Recently, the most popular program is "Actors Please Take Place", which has attracted much attention when the program is still in the preview period, and it is frequently on the hot search after broadcasting.
In addition to the participating actors, the lineup of commentators on the guest seat is also quite large, in addition to Zhao Wei, Li Chengru, Chen Kaige and Guo Jingming last season, the addition of the famous Hong Kong director Er Dongsheng also brought a lot of highlights to the show.
The other four reviewers, the audience has already experienced their style. Therefore, the most topical issue this time is Er Dongsheng.
Just looking at the appearance, Er Dongsheng gave people a feeling of gentleness and elegance, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it really made people sweat.
As a senior director, he can't tolerate half a bit of sand in his eyes, and the comments on the actor are "fast, fierce, and poisonous", which can be described as a sharp point, even Guo Jingming can't help but cover his ears when he listens.
When commenting on Chen Youwei, who was born in Aidou, he said with a cold face: "Crying drama is like chewing gum, acting is not talented." ”
Later, he also added the knife and said: "Actors like you, do you know how many there are in China?" It is useless to rely on appearance alone, actors rely on strength. ”
Of course, the most cruel paragraph is still a comment on Zhang Dada, who came up and said: "Speechless, I feel like playing a thief." ”
In the face of Zhang Dada's explanation and misery, he did not appreciate it at all: "The explanation you just gave has no meaning to me", netizens directly exhaled after listening to it.
When Ma Su and Ni Hongjie talked about the midlife crisis of the actresses on stage, Er Dongsheng was slightly softer, and he told them the story of his mother.
Er Dongsheng said in a calm tone: "My mother ran from Beijing to Shanghai in the 30s to perform anti-Japanese dramas, she has never played a heroine in her life, she has played her mother from a very young age, and she is always painted like a cat." ”
However, Er Dongsheng suddenly turned sharp and praised his mother in a joking tone: "But she (Er Dongsheng's mother) is different, because she will give birth, she gave birth to three male protagonists."
After listening to this sentence, the audience knew that Er Dongsheng's mother was more powerful than him, and she was not only an excellent actor, but also raised three excellent sons.

Er Dongsheng's mother's original name was Luo Zhen, and her stage name was Hongwei.
Hongwei was born in Beijing in 1918, and she was a Manchu yellow flag bearer. However, when she was born, the Qi people no longer had much advantage, especially the Manchus at the bottom, and life was not good.
Hongwei is like this, she is the daughter of an ordinary family, since childhood family is poor, in order to make a living, she began to step into the society at the age of 12, and entered the song and dance troupe with her brother and began her own acting career.
In fact, in that era, the actors of the song and dance troupe had no status in society at all, and everyone liked to call them "dramas". But in order to support her family, Hongwei also has no choice.
Sometimes in the face of survival, honor and dignity are worthless.
In the 1940s, affected by the general situation, Hongwei bid farewell to the ancient city of Beijing, came to the bustling Shanghai, and debuted here as an actor, mainly participating in anti-Japanese dramas.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Hongwei fled to Hong Kong and participated in many performances of Chinese films, although that era was far away from us and we were very unfamiliar with Hongwei, but in fact, she dedicated many classic works, such as "Little Two Black Marriage", "Midnight Song", "Midsummer Night's Dream" and so on.
In these films, although Hongwei starred in supporting roles, her acting skills should not be underestimated, whether it is a little woman or an ordinary mother, she can maximize the restoration of the role itself, without the slightest sense of violation.
Although she has never played a female lead in her life, Hongwei's contribution to the show business circle is admirable. For this reason, in 1993, she received the Golden Horse Award for Special Achievement.
In the showbiz circle with few high-quality resources, the protagonists are always a minority, but the supporting roles are not worthless, and good supporting roles often play a role in finishing touches.
Hongwei has used her life to prove that even if I play a supporting role, I can stand on the highest podium.
Of course, behind the honor is a great dedication and a spirit of self-sacrifice.
In addition to no regrets in her career, Hongwei's married life, although there have been regrets, is still quite happy overall.

Hongwei has experienced two marriages in her life.
Her first husband, Yan Hua (real name Jiang Keqi), was also an excellent actor. Moreover, Yan Hua is also very accomplished in music, and has composed and scored music for many films.

Hongwei and Yan Hua can be said to be a match made in heaven, after marriage they have four sons and a daughter, of which the third and fourth sons are the well-known Famous Hong Kong actors Qin Pei (real name Jiang Changnian) and Jiang David (real name Jiang Weinian).
Unfortunately, the story of Caizi Jiaren did not have a happy ending, Qin Pei was 6 years old, Yan Hua suffered from liver cancer, and soon after he died.
To make matters worse, three days before his father left, Qin Pei's second brother also died.
That was also the most difficult time in Hongwei's life, raising a family of more than a dozen people alone, no matter what era, women alone to support the family, always make people feel very bitter.
Fortunately, God did not have a soft affection for her, and a few years later Hongwei met the famous Hong Kong producer and director Er Guang, and Er Dongsheng was the son of Hong Wei and Er Guang.
Two marriages, eight children, because of illness, ended up with only four left.
Some people may say that such a huge family will definitely be free-range, and as for how the children will be in the future, it depends on the personal creation.
On the contrary, Hongwei did not let it go because of her busy life and many children, and she was never absent in the most important stage of her children's growth, not only educating them to be good people, but also educating them to be a person with achievements.
Having such a mother is a great blessing in life.

It is precisely because of the mother's words and deeds and earnest teachings that there are later Qin Pei, Jiang David and Er Dongsheng.
In fact, in the era of underdeveloped information, few people know that Qin Pei, Jiang David and Er Dongsheng are half-brothers, and after their identities are exposed, they really surprise many people.
It is already rare for a family to produce one talent, but this family has produced three, how can people not be envious.
Er Dongsheng proudly said that my mother has cultivated three excellent male protagonists, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Let's start with Qin Pei.
Qin Pei was born in Beijing in 1945, because his parents were actors and influenced by the family atmosphere, Qin Pei showed outstanding artistic talent since childhood.
At the age of 3, Qin Pei got the opportunity to land on the screen and played a child in the movie "Slut's Heart", which is also a child star.
After that, Qin Pei became a regular on the set, and he was also one of the earliest child stars, and he appeared in films such as "Rose Blossom" and "Dark Night Cry".
Although the young Qin Pei still has some immature performances, these acting experiences have laid a solid foundation for him to become an old drama bone in the future.
Qin Pei, who has been in the film since childhood, knows that he has nothing better in his life except movies, and after graduating from college, he came to Baodao Taiwan, joined Yuanlian Film Company, and officially entered the Taiwan showbiz circle.
When he was young, Qin Pei can be called a young talent, he is permeated with a literary and artistic atmosphere, the instrument between the eyebrows is extraordinary, and soon after his debut, he was captured in the hearts of countless young girls, and he was also known as the "public lover".
Due to his profound acting skills, Qin Pei has never lacked resources, and has successively dedicated wonderful acting skills in films such as "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", "People in the Jianghu", and "Owl".
1986 was a turning point in Qin Pei's acting career, when he played a mental patient stimulated by the loss of his son in his brother Er Dongsheng's "The True Biography of the Epileptic Guy".
In the film, Qin Pei looks realistic, the details are handled very well, especially when the disease is onset, the patient's eyes are scattered, Qin Pei controls these details very precisely, and there is no trace of performance at all.

For his vivid performance, Qin Pei won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for the first time, and he also won the Best Supporting Actor at the 23rd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for this film.
That year, Qin Pei was 43 years old, had been debuting for a full 40 years, and finally won the most professional film award.
In 1993, Qin Pei created another peak, playing the uncle of a cancer girl in Er Dongsheng's "New Love", with this role, he once again won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Hong Kong Academy Awards.
Qin Pei, who debuted for half a century, has participated in no less than 300 movies, that is, he has created more than 300 different roles, and the TV series has accumulated more than 2500 hours, which is definitely a "labor model" in the show business circle.
Although there are countless roles portrayed, Qin Pei has never appeared in the embarrassing situation of "a thousand people", whether it is a famous rich man, or a small citizen in the city, whether it is a decent gentleman or a cunning villain, he has been shaped into three points, and truly achieved "becoming the role itself", rather than mechanically starring.
Today' Qin Pei, who has passed the age of Hua Jia, is still active in the show business and engaged in his beloved acting career, for which people call him the "evergreen tree" of the Hong Kong showbiz circle.
There is a saying that to achieve one thing to the extreme in a lifetime is to succeed, and Qin Pei has done it.

Qin Pei was successful, and his younger brother Jiang David was not bad, or even better.
Jiang David, born in 1947, like his brother Qin Pei, is also a child star debut, and when he was only 4 years old, he played his first role in life.
In the fourth grade of primary school, David Jiang's child star path reached its peak, and he successively starred in excellent works such as "Little Angel on the Road", "There is a Mouth Is Hard to Say", "Thousands of Miles to Find Relatives" and so on.
Although he is young, but he has quite a "drama bone" style, whether it is crying drama or inner drama, he can perform the essence, his understanding of the role, at that time has shown extraordinary talent, which is also destined to become an extraordinary actor when he grows up.
However, as an adult, Jiang David had a gap in his acting career, and he served as a martial artist for about two years because he met two well-known dragon and tiger martial artists.
Although he didn't shoot much in those two years, David Jiang has also been in the crew, and his acting skills have not regressed in the slightest, and because he is a martial artist, he always has a breath of jianghu qi.
In 1968, David Jiang was favored by director Zhang Che, and the following year he starred in the movie "Ranger", which was also the first male protagonist in his life.
With years of acting skills, plus two years of martial arts career training, Jiang David will be a young chivalrous guest dedicated to love, interpretation of the divine, thus opening up fame.
In 1970, David Jiang starred again in the film directed by Zhang Che, playing Guan Xiaolou who avenged his brother in the film "Revenge", this time he ushered in a new breakthrough, with which he won the Best Actor Award at the 16th Asian Film Festival.
David Jiang also became the first "Asian film emperor" in Hong Kong's history, when he was only 23 years old, he ushered in the highlight moment of his life.
Jiang David is also a prolific actor, debuted so far in more than 160 roles, compared to his brother Qin Pei, Jiang David played a role more recognizable, he is either a costume drama in the jianghu hero, or is a high-ranking official in the era drama, or a high-class elite in modern drama.
It is worth mentioning that in the "Nine Yin True Classics of the Legend of the Eagle Hero", the Huang Yaoshi played by Jiang David was a classic, and he interpreted Huang Yaoshi's arrogant and informal personality to the fullest, which can be called the most evocative "Huang Yaoshi".

Because of his handsome appearance and first-class acting skills, David Jiang is also known as "the millennium movie emperor who has fascinated thousands of young girls". Another person once commented: "The Hong Kong showbiz circle has not produced a Ginger David for many years." ”
It can be seen that Jiang David has a very high status in the show business circle, and compared with his brother Qin Pei, he has more than enough.

Compared with the two older brothers, Er Dongsheng's main achievement is in the field of directing.
In the early years, Er Dongsheng also debuted as an actor, and in his early 20s, he became popular in the show business circle with "The Sword of the Three Young Masters".

However, after acting for more than ten years, Er Dongsheng directly transformed into a director, and after that, he constantly switched between actors and directors, but if it was successful, it was still a director.
In 1986, Er Dongsheng directed his first film in his life, "The Legend of the Epileptic Guy", in order to study the characters thoroughly, he spent a lot of time and experience, spent several months to check the information, and also visited social workers to understand the real situation of mental patients, which can be described as well-intentioned.
His efforts have also paid off, with the film released to rave reviews and professional recognition.
In the end, the film not only received nominations for Best Picture at the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards, but Also Wong Chung was nominated for the Best Director Award and the Best Screenplay Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
However, Er Dongsheng's directing career also had a cold winter moment, in 1987, he directed the "People's Hero", although it used dillon, Liang Chaowei and other big-name artists, but the box office was very dismal.
After Er Dongsheng reflected, he felt that he had to become an actor again, practice the basic skills well, and then start again.
It can be seen that Er Dongsheng is a person who knows how to reflect and improve, so he will be deeply sad when he sees that those small fresh meats have no reverence for acting.
Er Dongsheng is an all-round filmmaker in the Hong Kong film industry, as an actor he portrays the role very successfully, as a director he is more successful, and he rarely uses the old drama bone, like to take the initiative to explore the potential and ability of newcomer actors.
There are not a few actors who have succeeded because of Er Dongsheng, Yuan Yongyi became an Academy Award film with his "New Can't Love", Shu Qi successfully transformed with his "Pornographic Men and Women", in addition to which he also pushed female artists such as Maggie Cheung and Cecilia Cheung to the throne of the film queen.
▲ Cecilia Cheung won the Best Actress Award at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards for her "Can't Forget" directed by Er Dongsheng
Many people say that Er Dongsheng is too harsh, especially for actors, which is definitely daunting, in fact, this is also related to his attitude to work.
No matter what film is filmed, Er Dongsheng will do a lot of preliminary work, so his films give people a sense of reality and shock, such as "The Disciple" and "The Night of Mong Kok", which are classics of Hong Kong films.
It is precisely because he is so serious and meticulous that Er Dongsheng is the director who makes the actors on both sides of the strait and the three places awe.
Therefore, no one will succeed casually, and if you don't work hard and have a good origin, it will only be in vain.

Whether it is Qin Pei, Jiang David or Er Dongsheng, they have all achieved good results in their respective fields and have become highly respected figures in the Hong Kong film industry.
Their success is naturally inseparable from the blessing of talent and hard work, but the biggest hero behind this should be their mother Hongwei.
From the film for decades, Hongwei has not been given the opportunity to play the leading role, but she has cultivated the sons of the three male protagonists, and she has no regrets in her life.
Hongwei is an excellent actor and a great mother, such a woman can be called a role model.
