In the 1980s, a "Shanghai Beach" turned out to be popular with Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi, a TV series that has influenced generations of fans and is still talked about today. Although he did not play Xu Wenqiang, the role of Ding Li, who had a narrow heart, still opened the door of the show business circle for Lu Liangwei, a newcomer at the time.
After watching Lu Liangwei's life, you understand what a "winner in life" is. Lui Was born into the bottom and followed his mother from Vietnam to Hong Kong when he was young. From an early age, he was active and did not like to read, which caused headaches for his family. But the times have created Lu Liangwei. At that time, the Hong Kong film and television industry was booming, leaving enough opportunities for newcomers.
Like most stars, he attended unlimited training classes. With a good appearance, he soon received the blockbuster production "Shanghai Beach" and played the male supporting Ding Li. Although this character has been played by many stars many times since then, Lu Liangwei's "Ding Li" is still firmly remembered by fans.
Years later, Zhou Xingchi starred in "Gambler II. Gambling on the Beach", once again invited Lu Liangwei to play Ding Li, and successfully harvested a feeling.
After "Shanghai Beach", Lu Liangwei opened up and became one of the top pillars of TVB. At that time, Xu Ke, who had just emerged, invited Lu Liangwei to star in his pioneering work "First Type Of Danger", which was also Lu Liangwei's first contact with movies, laying the foundation for his subsequent big-screen career.
In the era when the television industry dominated the world, Lu Liangwei and Zhao Yazhi starred in a classic TV series "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", one of them played two important roles - Hu Yidao and Hu Fei. This TV series has made Lu Liangwei and Zhao Yazhi popular again, and the image of the two on-screen lovers is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing that the influence of TVB is like day in the sky, but Lu Liangwei, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, has seen the "sunset west mountain" of the television industry, the rapid rise of the film industry, coupled with the problems of TVB's own system, and the unhappiness of marriage, he resolutely left TVB and opened his own film road.
Finally, a generation of gangster classics "Lame Hao" was born!
If the West has "Scarface Star", the East has "Lame Hao", on the one hand is the "Godfather" Al Pacino, on the other side is "Ding Li" Lu Liangwei.
From Ding Li to Lame Hao, Lui Liangwei is one of the most successful gangster characters in Hong Kong cinema. "Lame Hao" gathered a large number of outstanding talents in Hong Kong films at that time. Mak Dang-hung, the "prodigy" of the Hong Kong film industry, gave up his position as a director in order to concentrate on writing the script. The whole film has a compact story and quite brilliant characters, which is a "group drama" classic that does not lose to "The Godfather".
Those supporting roles are still remembered, such as the beautiful leaf frieze; the greedy Zheng Zeshi; and the lustful Wu Qihua.
Xu Jinjiang, a thug who did not even have a single line, was extremely full and had a prominent personality.
Therefore, the most successful place of "Lame Hao" is the shaping of the character, those "character arcs" that are worth playing repeatedly, and the inner twists of the characters are the source of living water for the whole film.
From a refugee to a killer to a gangster, to a gangster, a generation of lame heroes and the development of Hong Kong society constantly collide with each other, integrating the fate of individuals into the changes of the times, so that in addition to the highly ornamental gangster elements, the whole film has a lot of sociological research value, which can be described as an epic masterpiece.
Madon-hsiung's script pays great attention to the two sides of the decision, that is, "decision-result", which can trigger the dramatic conflict, and through repeated choices, the audience also sees the inner transformation of the characters. When we explore what sequences cause changes in psychology and behavior, we look for the aura of the character arc.
The audience watched as Lame Hao's desire expanded infinitely, becoming the inevitable result of his personality, and the greater his power, the more dangerous it was. As a result, the expansion of desire triggers an irreparable fate of self-destruction. Crippled Hao eventually became a "lonely man" and suffered from rebellion.
After the release of "Lame Hao", the box office was a big hit, Ma Dangxiong won the best screenwriter of the year, and the film became the best film at the Academy Awards, unfortunately, Lu Liangwei and the film emperor passed by.
Although he did not get the movie emperor, a "lame hao" made Lu Liangwei the hottest tough guy male star in Hong Kong at that time. The next two films that are clearly commercialized, "Years and Years" and "Shanghai Emperor", are based on the popularity he accumulated in "Lame Hao" and consume feelings.
It is worth mentioning that at that time, the concept of "co-production" began to appear, and the film and television resources of the mainland and Hong Kong gradually converged, and a costume epic film with a high level of production level, "West Chu Bawang", was born. Zhang Fengyi starred in the "cunning" Liu Bang, Gong Li played Empress Lü, Guan Zhilin played Yu Ji, and the most brilliant was Lü Liangwei's "overlord" Xiang Yu.
"Xichu Bawang" is still a narrative classic that advances around the characters, it focuses on excavating the hearts of the characters, as well as those small things that are easy to be ignored in history, reflecting lightness in the grand, and reproducing a period of sadness of "Overlord Bijie" with the ingenuity of "four or two thousand pounds".
Lu Liangwei almost perfectly presented the overlord image of "Li Ba Shan Qi Qi Shi", leaving a deep screen memory for a generation of film fans and friends.
After "West Chu Bawang", Lu Liangwei's influence spread throughout the television and film circles, and continued to play many roles, but the image of the tough guy gradually became his "drag", which seriously limited the development of his role, with the shrinking of the Hong Kong film market, the accelerated development of the mainland film and television industry, coupled with Lu Liangwei's age, so he gradually faded out of the stage.
But in recent years, the 63-year-old Lu Liangwei has appeared on a mainland variety show, and his physical condition that looks like a 36-year-old has once again aroused heated public opinion. Lu Liangwei jokingly said that there is no "freshness" secret, that is, quit smoking and alcohol, go to bed early, get up early, and then exercise more.
In addition to his successful career, Lu Liangwei is also a legend in life. He married Zhou Haimei, a goddess of the early 20s, and married Kwong Meiyun, the queen of hong Kong sister song, two beautiful women, who created his legendary life.
After Lu Liangwei became popular because of "Shanghai Beach", Zhou Haimei, who was still a little girl, became his fan sister, and after entering the television industry, Zhou Haimei and Lu Liangwei met in "Small Island Storm", and the result was "fake drama really done", outside the screen, talking about love.
Soon, 33-year-old Lu Liangwei and 20-year-old Zhou Haimei registered their marriages in Las Vegas, USA.
I thought that the fairy tale was written here, but after marriage, the living habits of the two people are too different, often contradictory, a big man, a little girl, soon the sweetness of marriage disappeared without a trace, the two officially announced divorce, and public opinion was in an uproar.
After the divorce, Zhou Haimei also opened the gold of her career, from Zhou Zhiruo to the extermination of Shi Tai, achieving a legendary screen career.
And Lu Liangwei continued to work hard, married the second marriage to the hong Kong sister runner-up, a generation of singers Kwong Meiyun. On the wedding day, the two chartered the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, set up 40 tables, and invited TVB to broadcast the whole process.
But this sensational marriage lasted only 8 months, and Lu Liangwei and Kwong Meiyun were separated.
It is worth mentioning that both Zhou Haimei and Kwong Meiyun opened their new lives after divorcing Lu Liangwei, Zhou Haimei became a generation of actresses, and Kwong Meiyun bid farewell to the entertainment circle, began to engage in business, made a fortune through real estate business, and transformed into a strong woman in the business world.
But Lu Liangwei experienced a low point in his life after his second divorce. But when he was developing in the mainland, he met Yang Xiaojuan, a businesswoman. After the two met, Yang Xiaojuan used her resources to quickly drag Lu Liangwei out of the quagmire of business failure, and now Lu Liangwei's acting is pure entertainment and has long been in the business world.
The two have a son after marriage, and the former lame Hao has become a good man at home. Throughout Lu Liangwei's life, he is definitely a winner in life, ushering in the golden age of Hong Kong's film and television industry and achieving a number of screen classics. He has been a bully and a lame hao, married two beautiful women, and after middle age, he transformed into a businessman, and his life and career were both harvested. With such a life, Lu Liangwei really did not lose "Ding Li".
