Wan Ziliang was a well-deserved big brother in people's hearts when he was young, with a big back to charm thousands of fans, but in his old age, he was blessed with a figure and relied on commercial performances to earn gold.
He also made a lot of noise because of the matter of receiving disciples, and the wind evaluation was destroyed, so can he still bear the title of "big brother"?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > was spat upon</h1>
In April 2021, someone released a video of Wan Ziliang's disciples, which triggered a discussion among netizens.
In the video, Wan Ziliang, 64, is leaning back in a chair, with Erlang's legs crossed, his hair slightly thinner, and his face has many wrinkles. But the innate domineering spirit in him is still there. The disciple he was going to take this time was 51-year-old Lin Jinggang. He's an actor, but the work is basically some inconsequential little supporting role.
At that time, it was the opening ceremony of the movie "Entrepreneurship Winner", next to all the crew, Lin Jinggang knelt next to Wan Ziliang, bi respectfully called out "Master", and handed him the tea in his hand. After Wan Ziliang took the tea, he did not drink it all, but left half of it, and then lifted the tea and poured it on Lin Jinggang's head.
The matter was not over, only to see Wan Ziliang draw another wad of money from his pocket, no more, no less than ten thousand pieces, directly to Lin Jinggang's forehead three times, and then gave him a red envelope.
Lin Jinggang had a serious expression throughout the whole process, and prostrated his head three times, and there was a warm applause around him, ending this ceremony full of sense of worship.
Two months later, Wan Ziliang once again took Wang Xue as an apprentice and performed a ceremony in the hotel's private room. Only to see him step on the chair, he took the wine glass handed by Wang Xueyu in a momentum, or poured half of it on his head first, and then drank it all.

Worship is a great tradition in our country, and this phenomenon is very normal. It's just that Wan Ziliang used money to smash the brain door of his apprentice and used tea toppings to make many netizens question too feudal superstition.
"I really think of myself as a big brother" and "What age is this" and other remarks emerge in an endless stream, and everyone thinks that Wan Zi liang relies on the old and sells the old, and uses his former fame to carry out prestige.
However, there are also people who support him, after all, worshiping the master does need to practice certain etiquette, which is also a rule handed down by the ancestors, and it is not intended to insult people.
The use of tea toppings is to hope that the apprentices will stay awake at all times; smashing the door of the brain with money means that they should not be confused by money and go astray.
Therefore, these behaviors have connotations, and they also represent a piece of Wan Ziliang's heart and the importance attached to the disciples. In the cross-talk industry or other industries, there are some specific etiquettes, but everyone clings to Wan Ziliang, which is really unfair.
From another point of view, there are so many people who are willing to worship Wan Ziliang as a teacher, which also proves that he must have superiority, otherwise how can people be convinced?
Speaking of Wan Ziliang, in fact, he is also a regrettable person, who originally had unlimited scenery, but because of his own thoughts, he directly fell to the altar, what the hell is going on?

Because of the poverty of his family since childhood, Wan Ziliang had to drop out of school early and go out to work. At the age of 19, he mistakenly entered Li's artist training class and then changed the trajectory of his life.
Wan Ziliang was young
Sometimes talent is more important than hard work, wan Ziliang is such a case, he was born for acting.
What is like acting, whether it is a small supporting role or a protagonist, he can accurately grasp the psychology of the role and perform into three points.
In just two or three years, Wan Ziliang rose from an unknown newcomer actor to a popular star, so he also won the appreciation of Run Run Shaw, and since then, the film has continued to open the screen mode.

Unfortunately, his luck is always a little worse, and when he first nominated the Golden Horse Film Emperor, he was narrowly won by Zhou Runfa. It wasn't until the age of 31 that the fourth nomination received this honor.
He is not only a powerful big brother image in film and television, but also a person with feelings and righteousness who will do his best to help his friends. Many people may not know that the reason why Zhou Xingchi can become a famous "star master" in the future is that there is also wan Ziliang's full help behind it.
Wan Zi Liang Zhou Xingchi
At that time, Wan Ziliang was already a well-known powerful actor, and Zhou Xingchi was still an obscure dragon set player, talented but not discovered.
Once Zhou Xingchi was acting on the set, just happened to be seen by Wan Ziliang, he saw at a glance that Zhou Xingchi had talent in acting, so he sincerely said to him: You are very talented.
This is undoubtedly a huge affirmation for Zhou Xingchi, who is hitting a wall everywhere, and it also gives him the motivation to continue to insist.
Because of this incident, their distance quickly narrowed and they became good friends. Wan Ziliang saw the potential of Zhou Xingchi and had the idea of promoting him.
Just at this time, Li Xiuxian was starting his own company to prepare for the drama "Thunderbolt Pioneer", and Wan Ziliang followed the trend and recommended Zhou Xingchi to him, giving Zhou Xingchi the opportunity to serve as the second male number.

Since then, Zhou Xingchi has been even more sharp, winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor with this drama, taking a big step to realize his ambitions.
Since then, Zhou Xingchi has regarded Wan Ziliang as his eldest brother and idol, and has great respect for him. The two have since cooperated in several dramas and formed a deep friendship. Later, when Wan Ziliang got married, Zhou Xingchi was still a member of the groomsmen group and accompanied him through the most important moments of his life.
Zhou Xingchi was the best man
On the wedding day of Wan Ziliang and his wife Tianyou, the stars gathered, bringing together the big people with heads and faces in most of the Hong Kong circle, such as Mui Yanfang, Run Run Shaw and others, as well as the media came to shoot the documentary. The wedding scene was also quite luxurious, perfectly matching his identity.
However, soon after getting married, Wan Ziliang had a sudden whim and embarked on a road of no return. Perhaps after years of filming, he gradually became tired of acting, so he decided to fade out of the entertainment industry, take out his savings to do business, and start the clothing industry.
But without experience and without understanding the concept of management, the wealth accumulated in filming was quickly destroyed by Wan Ziliang.
In 1999, when Zhou Xingchi was preparing "The King of Comedy", he thought of his nobleman Wan Ziliang, so he invited him to star in the movie to repay his kindness that year. Receiving the grace of people dripping water, it will be repaid by the spring, and now wan Ziliang is in the trough of his career, and Zhou Xingchi is naturally not an ungrateful person.
However, this act of goodwill has caused the relationship between the two to fall to the bottom.
Because when Zhou Xingchi directed his works, he often shot according to his own ideas, and once he temporarily changed the shooting plan, but did not notify Wan Ziliang in advance, resulting in him throwing a blank and wasting time.
This made Wan Ziliang feel humiliated and not valued, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally decided to leave the crew, which also represented the formal breakdown of the relationship with Zhou Xingchi.
Wu Mengda replaced Wan Ziliang
Later, Zhou Xingchi found Wu Mengda to replace Wan Ziliang, but on the cast list at the end of the movie, Wan Ziliang's name is still on the list, and it is written next to it: Special thanks.
From promoting Zhou Xingchi to needing the help of the other party to restore his career, only to break with him, Wan Ziliang seems to be no longer the big brother who can call the wind and rain.

Wan Ziliang had some feelings about the failure of business, and he knew that he had forced himself to a dead end.
"When I was doing business, I knew that the business world is not as simple as the screenwriter wrote, and the real world is much more cruel", looking at his current situation, Wan Ziliang has long regretted it and is angry at the decision he made.
Even if the career is not smooth, Wan Ziliang seems to have some ups and downs in love. As early as 1996, he and his ex-wife ended the four-year marriage relationship.
Soon after, he met his fan Guo Mingli in KTV and fell in love with her at first sight. The two split up and merged in six years, and their relationship became more and more stable, and finally ended their love run in 2002 and welcomed their son Wan Daqian.

Unfortunately, the happy life has not been enjoyed for long, and his life has encountered an unfortunate thing. Because of diabetes, Wan Ziliang's weight rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few years, he gained 60 pounds. As a result, his appearance has changed greatly, and he is not as handsome as he once was.
Actors not only need acting skills, appearance is equally important, coupled with Wan Ziliang's illness has seriously affected his normal behavior, helpless, he can only gradually rest at home.
Fortunately, his wife Guo Mingli did not abandon him and accompanied him to take good care of him.
Wan Ziliang fell ill
Later, under the company of Guo Mingli and the active treatment of Wan Ziliang, his condition finally improved, his body slowly recovered his health, and his weight also dropped a lot. But he has missed the best period for his comeback, and has almost been eliminated by the Hong Kong market in the case of rapid changes in the entertainment industry.
In 2019, Stephen Chow directed "The King of New Comedy", although he once had a conflict with Wan Ziliang, he still wanted to break this barrier, so he invited the other party to star in his own film again. But their feelings could no longer withstand a second blow, and this time Wan Ziliang decisively refused Zhou Xingchi's invitation and expressed his gratitude to him.
Although their relationship is difficult to return to the beginning, everything is changing, and the identity of the two has also changed, and this way of getting along may be the best for each other.
Wan Ziliang, who should have enjoyed his old age in peace, is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining the family with his own meager strength, and at the age of 64, he also attended commercial performances and sang vigorously, and interacted enthusiastically with the surrounding audience, without the shelf of stars, and it was impossible to see that he was a big brother-level figure.
Wan Zi Liang commercial performance
Although because of some things, some people's impression of Wan Ziliang has been greatly reduced, and there is no sense of worship before. But there are still people who regard him as their idol and are impressed by his superb acting skills.
At least he once had the scenery and was worthy of what he did, and that was enough.
