Some actors you may not be able to name, but you will definitely remember his face, and Liao Qizhi, who plays Xu Youcai in "Anti-Corruption Storm 3", is exactly the same. Good people, bad people, loyal and straight, what kind of character Liao Qizhi has dabbled in, except for the protagonist.
Flowers need the embellishment of green leaves, the protagonist needs the foil of supporting roles, liao Qizhi is a very competent "green leaf" actor. In Liao Qizhi's 38-year career, he has starred in a total of 156 film and television works, all of which are supporting roles but wonderful enough.
In 1978, Liao Qizhi participated in the wireless artist training class, and a year later, he signed a contract with TVB and started his acting career.
Because of the loss of looks, after graduation, Liao Qizhi could only play a small supporting role to show his face, and even ran several dragon sets in a drama.
Liao Qizhi, who wants to break out of a big career, has been an assistant in the recording studio, a photography assistant, and personally staged a tightrope walk in high heels for the sake of appearance, not to mention how much hard work.
Kung Fu pays off, from the beginning of the "check no this person" to the later TV posters appeared on his name and photos, although Liao Qizhi did not become popular overnight, but TVB dramas will leave him a position.
He has starred in film and television works such as "Father-Son Love", "Tianshan Tongmao", "Shadian Fish Murder Incident" and so on, and his acting skills are superb but he lacks an opportunity to really make him shine.
In 1993, he waited for this opportunity, with the role of mentally handicapped youth in "Caged People", he won the Hong Kong Academy Awards for best supporting actor for the first time, when he was 39 years old, which was considered to be a late bloomer.
He played an old eunuch in "Yang Guifei", a bit hunchbacked, although he bowed his knees in front of the emperor, but a look can make people's backs chill.
In the movie "Infernal Affairs 2", Liao Qizhi is a cold third uncle, and a harmonica performance when killing people and burying people is extremely shocking.
It is said that it was a temporary performance at that time, and there was no such scene in the script, and "Three Uncles" let him nominate him for the Academy Award for Supporting Actor and won the Chinese Film and Media Award for Best Supporting Actor.
The third time he was nominated for the Academy Award, he was because of the police officer who worked hard in "Kill the Wolf". The lame detective in "Witness" made Liao Qizhi once again lift the Best Supporting Actor Trophy at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
For the Hong Kong Film Awards, Liao Qizhi is a regular, nominated 5 times in 20 years and won 2 awards, which is the best recognition of this acting school in the industry.
He has played countless supporting roles, each of which has been pinched, but the role of "father" in life, Liao Qizhi is very bumpy and the most sad.
When Liao Qizhi was training in the artist training class, he met his classmate Chen Min'er, and after only three weeks together, the two agreed for life, registered for marriage in 1987, and soon had the crystallization of love.
After marriage, Liao Qizhi was a three-good man, especially sympathetic to his wife's efforts, and his wife Chen Min'er happily compared herself to "Empress Xi" and "Baby".
In 2001, Chen Min'er gave birth to her third son, Liao Wennuo, who suffered from depression during childbirth, thanks to her husband's intimate companionship.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and two years later, the third son, Liao Wennuo, was diagnosed with leukemia, and Liao Qizhi was "knocked" to the point of collapse by the head. In order to concentrate on his son's treatment, he pushed off most of his work, and rarely appeared in front of the audience during this period.
Two years later, the younger son was found to have cancer cells in his blood, the couple once again suffered a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Chen Min'er suffered from severe depression, and in 2006, the younger son died, and Liao Qizhi gritted his teeth and carried everything.
People can't always be immersed in sadness, Liao Qizhi is more energetic after facing life and death, and he is more energetic and returns to his career with a spirit of inspiration.
Unexpectedly, in 2013, the eldest son of 19 years old shouted "I am gay" and "prefer to be a woman" on social platforms, and also posted a number of transvestite photos, pushing Liao Qizhi to the cusp of the storm.
The couple later clarified that the eldest son was actually joking and actually had a girlfriend in private, which turned things around.
In life, fate has played more than one joke on him, but Liao Qizhi hopes to let people see positive energy from beginning to end.
In his work, Liao Qizhi leads by example and hopes that his work attitude will have a positive impact on future generations.
Today, Liao Qizhi is 64 years old and still plays a supporting role. He once said that "he has the talent to play supporting roles", and he has his own rhythm on the road of green leaves, wishing him to continue to enjoy the joy of acting in the next few days, good health, and peace of his family.
