A few days ago, I accidentally saw an old Hong Kong movie called "Rob the Groom". This film is based on traditional Sichuan opera, the story is very exciting, and the actors are even more amazing. The heroine is played by Xia Meng, who has the appearance of a country and a city, while the actor is played by a picturesque male star Gao Yuan.
Nowadays, when the name Gao Yuan is mentioned, some friends may feel strange.
However, in the 1960s and even the 1980s, in the hearts of many film fans, he was the number one costumed beauty man in the Hong Kong film industry.
Looking at Gao Yuan's old images now, you will still feel that he is indeed handsome, and his elegance and handsomeness are really rare in the world. The so-called flower beauty man is just the old appearance of Gao Yuan, right?
I remember when I was a child, I watched two horror movies in Hong Kong, one "Painted Skin" and one "Red Bat Apartment", and the male protagonists of the two films were actually Gao Yuan.
Both movies have scared me enough. But the tall and handsome also makes me unforgettable.
Gao Yuan is a native of Suzhou. Born in 1935 into an acting family. His mother was a star in the silent film era of Chinese films, while his father, as well as his uncles and aunts in the family, were all Fans of Peking Opera. Therefore, Gao Yuan has lived in an environment full of artistic atmosphere since he was a child. But when he was a child, he did not want to be an actor, and he was active since he was a child, but he hoped to develop in sports.
Takato's film dream began in 1953.
This year, Gao Yuan came to Hong Kong from Shanghai. His uncle Jiang Shi and aunt are both professionals in the Hong Kong film industry, one is a cinematographer and the other is a director. Seeing that Takato was handsome, extraordinary-looking, and tall, he suggested that he be an actor and recommended him to several film companies.
The first film that 18-year-old Gao Yuan made on the screen was "The First Coming", in which he played a small accountant, the performance was still young, but the appearance was very high. Since then, as a small student on the screen, he has begun to cooperate with big beauty stars such as Zhu Hong and Chen Sisi, and his acting skills have become more and more mature.
In 1957, at the age of 22, Gao Yuan, together with Xia Meng, starred in the movie "Rob the Groom". Gao Yuan successfully shaped the image of Li Yu, an ancient prince. And his handsome and flowing style, gentle and elegant temperament, immediately attracted the attention of all the audience. And his cooperation with Xia Meng is so tacit, there is no sense of violation. Thus becoming popular, becoming the number one costume student in Hong Kong.
In Gao Yuan's film experience, he plays most of the amorous princes, handsome staff and thin prodigal sons (such as Zhou Ping in "Thunderstorm"), which are related to his super high appearance.
In the memory of more fans, most of the characters he left the deepest impression on everyone are the appearances in costume plays, such as Wang Chongwen in "Painted Skin", Wang Richeng in "Trial wife", Xu Wenxiu in "Three Phoenixes Seeking Phoenix", and Xue Meiting in "False Son-in-law Riding the Dragon". These characters are almost all polite and talented. And Gao Yuan's performance, whether it is the look or the action, is quite classical, so everyone thinks that he is the best candidate for the costume student.
However, why is it that such a beautiful, fresh and handsome movie star has been reprimanded by The famous Hong Kong beauty Chen Sisi as having no demeanor?
Chen Sisi, who was a goddess in the Hong Kong film industry at that time, was Gao Yuan's ex-wife.
These two people, one handsome and one beautiful as a flower, stood in one place, it was simply a painting. The screen is the same frame, and it is also beautiful. Everyone thinks that they are a pair made in heaven and earth.
Therefore, at that time, their wedding was extremely sensational.
But often this kind of marriage, which seems to outsiders to be very right, will not last long.
Because such a handsome and golden man as Gao Yuan, of course, there will not be only one Chen Sisi who is devoted to him.
Before associating with Chen Sisi, he also had a relationship with another big beauty in the Hong Kong film industry, Lottie.
I remember that at that time, Letty went to Taiwan to shoot a drama, and she was not at ease with Gao Yuan, so she instructed her girlfriend Chen Sisi to "keep an eye" on Gao Yuan for her.
As a result, Chen Sisi did have a "fixed eye", and it did not take long for the two to get married.
After this, Lottie also married in a hurry and was combined with another male star, Chen Hou. But it didn't take long for the marriage to end in divorce. After the loss of marriage, Leti had a high affection, and the two had the tendency to rekindle their old love, but they were soon discovered by Chen Sisi and cut off the signs. Not long after this, a generation of actress Lottie died unexpectedly at home.
Lottie's departure was a big blow to Takato. And his marriage to Chen Sisi has always been in a state of instability. After this, Takato met a beautiful woman who resembled Lottie, and the two lived together and gave birth to a daughter. In the face of this situation, Chen Sisi also thought about saving the marriage, and even used the method of forcing death, but it still did not help.
The pair on the Hong Kong screen chose to divorce in 1975. On the day of the divorce, it was raining heavily, and the two went through the divorce procedures, but Gao Yuan did not propose to "escort Chen Sisi for a ride", but threw Chen Sisi alone in the rain. So much so that Chen Sisi loudly reprimanded Gao Yuan for being "a man without grace."
I don't know if it was to punish this ungraceful man, Chen Sisi later chose to remarry, and actually married Gao Yuan's uncle and became his aunt.
Today, Gao Yuan is 85 years old, and the beautiful teenager of the past has also entered the old age and is dying of old age. For everything in the past, whether it is the experience of a brilliant star or the faltering married life, it should only be another movie in life, right?
Gao Yuan has been abandoning his film since the 1960s. Therefore, people can rarely see his figure through the silver screen again. And fans who like him can only relive his old style through those images he used to have in the movie. And for you, the most memorable thing for everyone is which role has Gao Yuan played?
