One day in 2000, at 5:30 p.m., the security guards of the Hong Kong mall received a report that a lewd man with a DV was secretly photographing the bottom of the girl's skirt.
The matter was urgent, and the security guard quickly rushed to the mall and caught the suspect on the spot.
But no one expected that the "obscene man" who was pressed to the ground by the security guard and raised his head was actually the martial arts superstar who was popular throughout Hong Kong that year, Lin Zhengying's apprentice: Qian Xiaohao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4">01</h1>
"My life is up to me", this sentence is Qian Xiaohao's classic line in the TV series "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", which is also the deepest impression of many viewers on him.
Qian Xiaohao successfully portrayed a villain character who was extremely bad and deeply rooted in people's hearts.
When he shouted out, "My life is up to me", did he ever think that his future fate would be so many misfortunes?
Qian Xiaohao was not originally called Qian Xiaohao, his original name was Qian Jiahua.
There was a younger brother in his family named Qian Jiale.
From childhood to adulthood, his younger brother Qian Jiale has always been very good, on the contrary, Qian Xiaohao is more like mud that cannot be supported by the wall in the eyes of his parents and mothers.
Qian's father and qian's mother did not expect that his son Qian Xiaohao was actually a late bloomer.
"My brother is always luckier than me," Qian Xiaohao said silently.
In the 1970s, the people at the bottom of Hong Kong society lived in a very hard place, and Qian's father and mother went out to earn working hours during the day and secretly did some small business at night.
Qian Xiaohao and Qian Jiale watched the door at home.
The two brothers were sneaking around at home watching TV, when Hong Kong martial arts films were popular throughout Asia, And Qian Xiaohao was excited to see it, so he immediately picked up a stick on the ground and played a few tricks with his head and brain.
The younger brother Qian Jiale looked at it, "I will also do what my brother likes."
When Qian's father and mother came back, they saw such a scene, two naked little boys dancing knives and guns in the courtyard.
"Since you like to practice martial arts, then send you to learn martial arts."
The two brothers were sent to the Great Saint Split Hanging Gate.
The split hanging fist has a long history and is an ancient type of fist. The strict method of splitting and hanging fists and the interlocking routines were very popular in Hong Kong that year.
Qian Xiaohao went in to worship the teacher, the facial features are beautiful, the figure is large, he can eat in the boxing gym, this period of learning art Career Qian Xiaohao is very happy, what he learned is the real skill.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32">02</h1>
If you roughly summarize Qian Xiaohao's charm, it is: those who are more handsome than him, who act well, cannot beat him; those who can beat him, those who act well, are not as handsome as him.
In 1977, when Qian Xiaohao was only 14 years old and studied martial arts in a boxing gym for 4 years, he went to participate in kung fu ring competitions.
The duel between the masters is to fight for fame and profit, if Qian Xiaohao fails, he will only end up injured, and everyone will laugh at his inadequacy.
The competition in the ring was in full swing, and Qian Xiaohao loosened his muscles: no matter what, fight...
A fledgling little hairy child took the bronze medal in this ring match, and Hong Kong Wuxing was very optimistic about Qian Xiaohao.
He became famous in one battle, and the dream of martial arts was deeply planted in Qian Xiaohao's heart, and he wanted to be a kung fu star like Bruce Lee.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41">03</h1>
Some people just have a little "luck" in their fate.
In 1979, his nobleman Zhang Che came to him.
Zhang Che is a big director, the main film theme is more martial arts market, at that time Zhang Che just had a film called "Shaolin and Wudang".
However, I picked and jumped around, but I couldn't find an actor who played "Wei Xinghong".
This year, Qian Xiaohao just joined the Shaw training class for 2 months.
What is a Shaw Training Course? Equivalent to the current Aidou actor agency, after going in to learn acting, the director with resources will pick the actors he feels are suitable among these people.
If you are jumped on by a big director, you will change the trajectory of your life if you are not careful.
Zhang Che glanced at Qian Xiaohao.
"The boy is handsome and has good kung fu, and I look good to the eye."
Zhang Che is Qian Xiaohao's stepping stone to enter the film and television circle, a golden brick.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54">04</h1>
Unfortunately, although Qian Xiaohao successfully won the favor of Zhang Che, Zhang Che is old, and Hong Kong martial arts films need a young market, and Zhang Che can only lament that the years are not spared.
Zhang Che began to go downhill, and as his last disciple to close the door, Qian Xiaohao's situation was embarrassing.
At that time, there was a big brother in the Hong Kong circle named Hong Jinbao.
This big brother said one thing in the circle, saw everyone to help, and the popularity was so good that there was nothing to say.
The status of key people in the Hong Kong film and television circle is still high.
The master has fallen, Qian Xiaohao has no choice but to run to Phuket to travel and relax, and happened to meet Hong Jinbao, who is enjoying beautiful women on the beach in Phuket.
When the two people met, they shook hands, and Qian Xiaohao hurriedly introduced himself and said: I am Zhang Che's apprentice.
Hong Jinbao instantly felt that the young man in front of him was pleasing to the eye, and Zhang Che was also his good brother for many years.
In this way, the two people went to the hotel hand in hand to talk all night.
Knowing that Qian Xiaohao had no drama to shoot, Hong Jinbao frowned and made a phone call.
"There's been a zombie movie lately, I don't know if you mind."
This zombie film is the later popular hong Kong movie "Mr. Zombie".
Of course, Qian Xiaohao didn't mind, and there was a scene in his heart that he might not be able to steal the music.
But "Mr. Zombie" was very difficult to shoot at the beginning.
Before filming began, Hong Jinbao predicted that the film would lose at least 2 million yuan, but often the less optimistic things were, the greater the chance of counterattack.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="75">05</h1>
Qian Xiaohao entered the group to shoot "Mr. Zombie" as promised, the crew is too shabby, the actors are all running dragon sets, and the director looks even more unreliable.
"Let's take a look."
Qian Xiaohao had nothing to do anyway, and simply spent it on the crew and did not go anywhere.
Lin Zhengying carefully observed this young man for several days, felt, "Oh, not bad", and began to teach Qian Xiaohao the skills of acting and the tricks of portraying characters.
Qian Xiaohao played "Qiu Sheng" in "Mr. Zombie".
At first, "Mr. Zombie" only got 4.5 million yuan in investment, which is impossible to make a well-made big movie.
During the filming, the crew changed actors, venues, and scripts from time to time, and the original shooting date was delayed for several months.
Originally 4.5 million was a pitiful amount, coupled with the delay in filming, the crew's budget had long exceeded the standard.
Seeing that "Mr. Zombie" was about to be abandoned halfway, Hong Jinbao gritted his teeth and took out 3 million out of his own pocket.
"Take it and shoot it, anyway, finish the movie first."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="90">06</h1>
"Mr. Zombie" was successfully broadcast, and the market response was unexpectedly good.
Movies that were originally thought to lose 2 million yuan made a net profit of 20 million as soon as they went online.
"Mr. Zombie" is the king of "Hong Kong psychic kung fu films", and later most of the film and television drama themes borrowed the element of "zombie", and never surpassed the glory of "Mr. Zombie".
Qian Xiaohao became popular with the role of "Qiu Sheng" in the movie, and even overpowered the limelight of the protagonist Xu Guanying.
"Autumn Student" in the audience center: handsome and righteous.
The character setting is too brilliant, and it can only be said that Qian Xiaohao's luck is really good.
But "Mr. Zombie" star Hui Guanying didn't think so, so when he was nominated for "Best Supporting Actor in a Hong Kong Film," he angrily said he refused to accept the award.
"I am the protagonist".
As a disciple of Lin Zhengxiang, good things are always Qian Xiaohao, and bad things are always Xu Guanying. This is an unwritten rule broken by the Hong Kong film industry.
Qian Xiaohao, who is on fire, is a hot male protagonist in the Hong Kong film circle, and the heat is equivalent to Lu Han, who just returned to China that year.
The audience likes to watch him, and the box office is guaranteed.
Qian Xiaohao's career ushered in the "second spring".
So how red is he? Everyone knows Zhou Runfa, who was a supporting role for Qian Xiaohao.
The "Shao Family Class" was regrouped, and Qian Xiaohao had a backer. As a popular male star and the leader of Shao Jiaban, Qian Xiaohao's resources have been soft.
Shao Jiaban even hand-picked Qian Xiaohao to play the male lead of his own-funded movie.
"You act boldly, we pay to praise you."
Shao Jiaban is the capital behind Qian Xiaohao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="116">07</h1>
It can be said that "if people don't do it, they won't die", and Qian Xiaohao personally ruined his career.
After the zombie film was fired, the investor looked for money to make all the movies made by Xiaohao, all of which were the same, and the zombie films were the same.
"Zombie Turnover" and "One Eyebrow Road Man" are all the same type of themes.
People are not willing to accept the status quo.
"I want everyone to know that out of the zombies, I'm still a qualified actor."
All day long people said: Are you only going to play zombies, such remarks will once crush Qian Xiaohao.
"It seems that except for zombies, no one thinks that Qian Xiaohao has a second talent."
"I'm not reconciled".
Qian Xiaohao was desperate to prove himself, so he ran to play "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng".
Jet Li, a kung fu superstar, was the star of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" at that time, and the top male protagonist.
Standing with Jet Li, Qian Xiaohao can obviously only play a supporting role.
He was not reconciled, turned to the director and said: "You assign me a villain role, I think I can play the villain."
The big villain "Dong Tianbao" let the audience see a different Qian Xiaohao.
In the play, he has a strong personality but does not lose selfishness and narrow-mindedness, and Qian Xiaohao successfully portrays a villain role that people love and hate.
People who have come into contact with Qian Xiaohao say that he is a lively and active person with a fiery temper.
Qian Xiaohao's personality is not too good, he is happy when the wind is smooth, and once he encounters setbacks, his hidden personality will completely explode.
In 2000, when the supermarket was secretly filming, the female customer in front of her was wearing a skirt to select goods in front of Qian Xiaohao, and she did not realize that there was a "lewd secret shooting king" behind her.
Qian Xiaohao secretly hid the DV in the shopping bag and placed the shopping bag under the skirt of the child's female customer for up to 2 minutes when the female customer was not paying attention.
The security guard felt that his behavior was suspicious and arrested him for questioning, only to find that Qian Xiaohao's DV was full of secret photos of women.
Does this pay off?
Popular stars actually have this kind of fetish?
Qian Xiaohao was arrested on the spot, and his friends and girlfriends came forward to speak for Qian Xiaohao.
"Qian Xiaohao is not like this, he will not do such a thing."
Qian Xiaohao admitted directly in court: I did it.
Only later, Qian Xiaohao declared to the outside world that he didn't know what was wrong at the time, and he couldn't control himself, which may be mental pressure or it may be caused by drinking.
In the end, Qian Xiaohao only paid a part of the fine because the lack of evidence did not constitute a condition for detention, and the secretly photographed tool DV was confiscated and confiscated by the police.
After the candid shooting, Qian Xiaohao's career plummeted, and what bothered him over the years was more of the family affairs of his ex-wife and his son.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="156">08</h1>
In 1990, Qian Xiaohao met guo Xiuyun, the love of his life.
Guo Xiuyun is very beautiful, she is Miss Hong Kong, has starred in many movies.
In addition to being beautiful, Guo Xiuyun's family does jewelry business and is a proper rich family. As a mixed-Race Chinese-German child, Guo Xiuyun can actually look up to Qian Xiaohao.
When the two were revealed to be secretly married, the Hong Kong entertainment industry said it was very incomprehensible.
The rich family marries a poor boy with thousands of dollars, and this marriage is doomed not to last long.
After the secret secret marriage, the two soon gave birth to the crystallized eldest son of love.
However, in just 3 years, the marriage of Qian Xiaohao and Guo Xiuyun has fissioned.
Guo Xiuyun, who was already Miss Hong Kong at that time, actually ran to shoot a wind and moon film, and there were several films in one shot.
After the film was made, the Internet was full of indecent photos of Qian Xiaohao's wife "holding the pipa and half covering her face".
Guo Xiuyun never explained to the outside world why he ran to shoot a wind and moon film, but it was Qian Xiaohao who divorced Guo Xiuyun one step faster.
When you love, you are vigorous, and if you don't love, you are quick to cut the mess.
What is even more tragic is that after the divorce, the son was brought by Guo Xiuyun, and Qian Xiaohao looked at his own son who was gradually drifting away from him, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness.
Guo Xiuyun even changed the name of his son Qian Haoran to his favorite Jingfeng.
"I don't even know what my son's name is."
In the face of the media, Qian Xiaohao said sadly.
After Guo Xiuyun remarried, even his son's surname was changed to "Pang".
So Qian Xiaohao's son is now called: Pang Jingfeng.
Pang Jingfeng entered the entertainment industry after growing up and was also an artist.
"The bamboo basket hit the water empty", "lost the lady and folded", said Qian Xiaohao.
Qian Xiaohao later found a wife and also gave birth to a son. This time, he is really the "pro-son" with his own surname.
His second wife was named Qiu Qianming.
With the lessons of the past, Qian Xiaohao was obviously much more cautious about falling in love this time. He talked to his second wife for more than 8 years before getting married.
During the two people's dragging period, the media asked Qian Xiaohao when to get married, and he said that he was not in a hurry and took it slowly.
Feelings are to simmer slowly over a small fire.
After marriage, Qian Xiaohao's second son was born, compared with the eldest son who has entered the entertainment circle, the appearance of the second son is somewhat difficult to say.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="195">09</h1>
Now Qian Xiaohao basically does not appear on the screen, usually at home as a father, accompanying his wife and children.
On the contrary, his younger brother Qian Jiale has been active in the entertainment industry and his resources have been good.
The road of life should be slowly walked, step by step.
A moment of luck does not mean a lifetime of luck, Qian Xiaohao's first half of life went too smoothly.
Lin Zhengying also died for many years, Qian Xiaohao did not occasionally sigh when talking about Lin Zhengying: Master, I miss you.
For Qian Xiaohao, Lin Zhengying is not just a benefactor. The two have worked together for Hong Kong "psychic films" for so many years, and the hong Kong zombie theme has not been surpassed so far.
Mutual achievement is more suitable for the relationship between two people.
Hong Kong martial arts films are the memories of a generation, and Lin Zhengying's zombies are the memories of countless people.
Classics are never outdated, but the people who presented the classics at that time were all human.
