In a 2001 interview, Cheng Expressed Great Dissatisfaction with the Two Men.
One is Huang Qiusheng, and the other is Zhou Xingchi, who has cooperated with him many times.
Talking about the reason, he said: Huang Qiusheng and Zhou Xingchi are both disciples of Li Xiuxian, but after they became famous, they forgot about Li Xiuxian.
Especially for Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Kui'an was very dissatisfied.
He said: At that time, he was nothing, no one knew him, it was Li Xiuxian who brought him up with one hand, and now he is red, but he ignores the teacher.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding of Zhou Xingchi, but the personality of the taciturn Zhou Xingchi has not explained the misunderstanding, has been saddled with the crime of "ungratefulness", until many years later, after understanding the truth, netizens slowly understood Zhou Xingchi, at the same time, also understood Cheng Kui'an.
At the tail end of the winter of 1955, a family in hong Kong's New Territories welcomed its second child.
The birth of the child did not give the couple much joy.
Because every time a child is born, it means that the family has one more mouth to eat, which is tantamount to adding a burden to a family that is not rich.
However, parents still gave their children a nice name - Cheng Kui'an. It means peace and security.
After that, the family gave birth to three more children, and the family had more mouths to eat.
The child was waiting to be fed, and even sleeping became a problem. The four boys slept in one bed, and in the cold winter, the four brothers had to play with "scissors and stone cloth", and whoever won slept in the middle, because it was the warmest "turf".
The children of the poor are in charge of the house early.
My brother dropped out of school early to earn a living and went to work at Shaw Film Company to do some porter work.
At the age of 13, it was also Cheng Kui'an's turn.
Cheng Kui'an, who was forced to drop out of school, also entered the Shaw Film Company under the introduction of his brother, and he could get a salary of 60 yuan per month.
Although the family is poor, the parents never treat their children badly, especially when it comes to food. Have a bite to eat and always give it to the child first.
So Cheng Kui'an is tall and strong, and he is handy in chores at Shaw Film.
It went on like this for a few years.
At the age of 17, Cheng Kui'an was no longer satisfied with his current life. How long will these days pass? He has to make more money in order to supplement the family, so that his younger brothers and sisters are not like himself, drop out of school early, and taste the bitterness of the world.
Cheng Kui'an resigned decisively from Shaw Films.
But what can you do if you resign? No education, no background, the only thing that can be "sold" is the inexhaustible strength on the body.
Soon after, Cheng Kui'an entered a bar under the introduction of a friend and worked as a security guard.
But after going to work at the bar for a while, Cheng Kui'an found out that the so-called "security guard" is the thug of the bar, ready to fight with people at any time.
At that time, Cheng Kui'an had no way back. What's more, the conditions offered by the bar are very tempting: you can get 600 yuan a month, which is 6 times that of a month's work in Shaw's films.
High risk, high reward.
After working for a while, Cheng Kui'an used the money he earned to marry his wife, and soon after, the wife became pregnant. Seeing that Cheng Kui'an was about to be upgraded to become a father, he was immersed in joy all day long, waiting for the birth of the child.
You can often walk by the river where there are not wet shoes. Bars are mixed, three teachings and nine streams, naturally there is no shortage of troublemakers.
In order to settle the trouble for the boss, Cheng Kui'an took a group of little brothers to cut each other.
Killing people pays for their lives, and debts are repaid.
Cheng Was thus arrested and imprisoned. There was more than one person fighting, and if Cheng Kui'an "confessed" to the gang of little brothers, he might be sentenced less, but Cheng Kui'an, who was the most moralistic, still took all the responsibilities alone.
On the day of the prison, the child was only born two days ago.
Cheng Was originally sentenced to 4 years in prison and was released after only two years of good behavior in prison.
The bar boss looked at Cheng Kui'an very moralistically, and during Cheng Kui'an's imprisonment, he also took good care of Cheng Kui'an's wife and children, and would regularly send money to alleviate the urgent needs of mother and son.
After being released from prison, Cheng Kui'an changed his past and decided to set an example for his son.
It is okay for people to be poor, but they must not break the law.
In 1977, Cheng Kui'an returned to Shaw Film Company to work as a miscellaneous worker, with a salary of 25 yuan per day, and there was no guarantee that he could start work every day, but the family lived in peace and happiness.
At that time, Cheng Kui'an's family lived by the sea. There is an endless stream of people who come to the beach for fishing and leisure, and one of them changes the fate of Cheng Quian.
This person was Liang Xiaolong, who was doing martial arts at that time, and later became popular throughout the north and south of the river by playing the role of Chen Zhen.
Liang Xiaolong likes to fish and is familiar with Cheng Kui'an's brother in Shaw Movies, so every time he goes to the beach, he will stay at Cheng Kui'an's home.
One day, when Liang Xiaolong saw Cheng Kui'an, he said to him: It is not a way for you to always do handyman work all day, so it is better to be a dragon and tiger martial artist with me, at least make more money.
But Cheng Kui'an was also very ignorant, Wu xing had never done it, only fighting.
Liang Xiaolong said again: It doesn't matter, I will let you do whatever you want.
In this way, Cheng Kui'an was taken by Liang Xiaolong to the path of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Division.
With the promotion of Liang Xiaolong, Cheng Kui'an can occasionally play soy sauce in film and television dramas, playing some passers-by without lines.
The salary is also much higher, sometimes you can get 120 yuan a day.
In 1985, Li Xiuxian was preparing to shoot his new film "Jiren Tianxiang", and saw Cheng Kui'an in the crew, with a fierce face and a tall horse, which was a good seedling for playing the villain.
So I asked him: I have a villain role here, do you want to play it? The salary is not much.
Since it was an invitation from a big director, Cheng Kui'an had no reason to refuse.
After entering the crew, Cheng Kui'an learned that there are 200 yuan a day to take.
Although there are not many lines in the role, sometimes there is a line: up.
However, as long as there is a drama, Cheng Kui'an is also very happy.
Of course, due to no acting experience and no professional training, in the crew, Cheng Kui'an was scolded by Li Xiuxian. Sometimes eighteen generations of ancestors are greeted.
But Cheng Kui'an is still very grateful to Li Xiuxian and regards Li Xiuxian as a teacher, because without Li Xiuxian, there will be no "future" for Cheng Kui'an.
Due to the natural appearance advantage, coupled with Li Xiuxian's cultivation, since 1986, Cheng Kui'an has gradually gained some fame. The underworld gangster who plays him is three points into the wood and is loved by movie fans.
After successively starring in "The True Colors of Heroes", "Blood Double Males", and "Best Friend", the film remuneration also began to rise, and at the most, it could earn 200,000 to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars a day.
Of course, it is also very tiring, and I have to run five or six crews a day.
At the end of the 1980s, Stephen Chow, who had been running a dragon suit for many years, also starred in "Thunderbolt Pioneer" under the discovery of Lee Xiu-yin, nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 25th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards, and began to emerge in the entertainment industry.
Since then, under the recommendation of Li Xiuxian, Zhou Xingchi has successively starred in movies such as "A Comic Breaks the World" and "Gamble Saint", and the nonsense style has gradually formed.
Of course, in the movie starring Zhou Xingchi, there will be no lack of Cheng Kui'an's figure. One is responsible for being funny, and the other is responsible for being "tricked".
Zhou Xingchi gradually became popular, and also became Li Xiuxian's "cash cow", was "sold" to Xiang Huaqiang's "China Star" company, acted in many movies, but got a very low remuneration. This unequal income also made the relationship between Li Xiuxian and Zhou Xingchi also begin to stiffen, and eventually parted ways.
But in Cheng Kui'an's view, Zhou Xingchi's behavior was a kind of "betrayal", and the two did not cooperate later.
In 1993, when Zhou Xingchi filmed "Jigong", there was a line in it: Li Xiuyuan, I swear to kill your whole family.
It was also interpreted by the outside world as a "finger-pointing scolding" of Li Xiuxian, and vented his anger in the movie. But in fact, fans who know the allusions know that Ji Gong's name was Li Xiuyuan before he became a monk.
After watching the movie, Cheng Kui'an, whose knowledge and culture level is not high, will misunderstand.
In 2004, when filming, Cheng Kui'an suddenly felt unwell, but he still finished filming with dedication. When I went to the hospital for examination, I found that I had nasopharyngeal cancer.
After falling ill, Cheng Kui'an constantly fought against the disease and insisted on chemotherapy. The mental state of the whole person is not very good, but once the body has improved, he began to be busy with the filming of the movie.
Because at this time, Cheng Kui'an, after breaking up with his first wife, married another wife. The wife and son are still waiting for Cheng Kui'an to earn money to support the family.
In August 2009, Cheng Kui'an, who had been fighting nasopharyngeal cancer for 5 years, missed his mother too much and still could not bear the torment of illness and left.
At the memorial service, many of his friends came to the funeral. Including Chen Baixiang, mentor Li Xiuxian and so on.
In their minds, although the "big fool" Cheng Kui'an looks a little fierce, he is actually a good person in life.
Lan Jieying because of the sexual assault by the big guy, the temperament changed greatly, many people are afraid to avoid it, but Cheng Kui'an will secretly run to the restaurant where Lan Jieying often eats, instruct the staff, after Lan Jieying comes to eat, the account is recorded on his head.
In order to make Cheng Kui'an feel at ease, cheng Kui'an's Hong Kong star football team also took the initiative to raise funds so that Cheng Kui'an's younger son could complete his studies.
Life is hurried, the longest is not more than a hundred years, although Cheng Kui'an was only 54 years old when he died, in the minds of fans, he is the most classic "big fool", but also the most adorable "gangster gangster".
The classics will always remain, and hopefully, the "big fool" in heaven will be all right.
