Life is like a dream, the years are merciless, the years are like a glimpse of water, how many years are understated, each life for this long time, is just a period of fading past, many people are willing to stay in the years, so that they can stay in that most beautiful era. No matter how many times have passed, when people recall those classic old movies in the past, they will always remember those classic characters, whether they are protagonists or supporting characters, they will always remain in the hearts of the audience. Today's talk about this one, drama actor, once served in prison, played a supporting role in a lifetime, 74 years old is still shaping the classic, but died abroad after retiring immigration, he is Bao Hanlin.
Compared with today's hyped entertainment industry, the entertainment industry in the past eighties and nineties was how quiet, perhaps this is the reason, so many gold medal green leaves were born, and speaking of these supporting roles, the audience had to pull their eyes back to the Hong Kong actors of that era, although many stars still affect half of the entertainment circle today, but in a movie, without these licorice actors, this work will not be so profound, Bao Hanlin is the gold medal green leaf of that era. Born in Hong Kong in 1915, although she was born in the early 1990s, but for a person who likes art, even if the environment is very harsh, it still can't stop her love, in the 1930s, during the junior high school study at Huang Yan College, she began to perform dramas, during the War of Resistance, she participated in the Arts Association Drama Club, performed "Thunderstorm", "Sunrise", "Traviata Girl", "Wu Zetian" and other plays, this experience laid the foundation for his life's acting.
If he hadn't been born in that turbulent era, perhaps Bohanlin would have become a generation of superstars, but the war consumed too much of his youth. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Bo Hanlin went to Study in Britain, perhaps because of this sentiment, which caused Bo Hanlin to immigrate to Britain in her later years. A few years later, Po Returned to Hong Kong as an Education Officer at the Correctional Services Department, worked in Stanley Prison for many years, participated in troupe performances in her spare time, and in 1952, the Sino-British Society Chinese Drama Group was established, and in addition to actively participating in the front stage performances, she also served as a director, screenwriter and translator of plays, and served as chairman for many years. Bo Hanlin began to devote herself to the film industry in the sixties, and participated in many works, but because the film records of that era were not so complete, many movies could not be recorded, which is where Bo Hanlin regretted.
In the 1970s, Hong Kong tv dramas were popular, so Bao Hanlin was more involved in the filming of TV series, and joined TVB as an artist in 1975, co-starring with Huang Xingxiu in "One House, Two Groups of Threesomes". For the more nostalgic audience, It will be more familiar to Bao Hanlin, who also brought many works in the 1970s, such as playing a civil servant in the land administration office in "Under the Lion Rock" and "Grandmother's Prayer"; playing the uncle Long Keduo in "The Great Inner Heroes", who was executed by Qianlong in the finale of episode 57 for trying to monopolize the government; and playing a gangster who operated gambling, drugs, sex and other special industries in 1975 In the 1981 TV series "Blood Taiping Mountain", she played the rich young master He Tingfang, who was bent on getting his father's family property, but in the end he had nothing. These characters Are in place, making a special impression on the audience.
Since the 1980s, Bao Hanlin has re-filmed films, but he has also taken over some TV series, such as Wang Xuan, the prime minister in "Qin Shi Huang" in 1986, and Jue Chang'an, the grandfather of Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, in the 1987 ATV historical drama "The Thirteenth Dynasty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty". But one of the roles that Bo Hanlin really makes the audience remember is the 1989 movie "God of Gamblers", in which he played the gambling demon "Chen Jincheng" and fought against Fa Ge, this movie became a classic in the Hong Kong film industry, and Bao Hanlin also became one of the classic supporting roles, and then in 1994's "God of Gamblers 2", he still played the same role at the age of nearly 80. It can be said that some actors do not need much fame in their lifetime, as long as there is a role that is still remembered after many years, then he is a classic and remembered by history.
Bo Hanlin dedicated his life to the performance, most of the roles he played in his life were high-society figures, rarely played poor characters in the lower classes, some people wore dragon robes unlike princes, but Bao Hanlin was still noble in rotten shirts. Chen Jincheng in "God of Gamblers" has made Bao Hanlin, and I believe that no matter how many years have passed, when the audience recalls this movie again, they will still remember the wonderful performance in Bao Hanlin. At the end of the 1990s, Bo Hanlin gradually faded out of the entertainment circle because of physical reasons, in 2000, the whole family immigrated to the United Kingdom to live a retirement life, gradually disappeared from the audience's vision, when many years later appeared in front of the media again, it was the news of death, on July 12, 2007, Bo Hanlin died in London, England, at the age of 91. Throughout his life, Uncle Bao was deeply respected by the theatre industry and won the Golden Jubilee Contribution Award at the 1st Hong Kong Stage Theatre Awards and the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 11th Hong Kong Stage Theatre Awards.
Bao Hanlin belongs to the first generation of actors in the Hong Kong television industry, and the audience's evaluation of him is funny, humorous, personable, and likes to promote the younger generation, which is deeply respected by the younger generation. Therefore, after his death, many descendants mourned and remembered him. The 21st century is known as a century in which classics fade away, and many of the classic supporting characters of that year have gradually passed away, leaving the audience with a lot of sadness, sometimes when recalling some old movies, in a trance, time stands still, and the years are quiet.
