The film market will soon usher in the most lively New Year and Spring Festival stalls, of course, can also be called New Year films. In fact, the concept of Chinese films first had a New Year's eve film thanks to Jackie Chan's big brother, whose "Red Fan District" was introduced to the mainland market and arranged to be released in the Spring Festival file, which won more than 95 million box office in one fell swoop, and at the same time achieved extraordinary results abroad, truly laying his international status. Now that 23 years have passed, let's take a look at the current situation of the former actors in "Red Fan District"?
1, Ma Hanqiang: Jackie Chan - went to the United States to attend his uncle's wedding, did not want to be entangled with small gangsters, the underworld, with the character of being able to fight and dare to fight, and finally with the assistance of the police, the bad guys were swept away.
Jackie Chan has long been in Hollywood, such as the 80s "Killer Trench" and "Cannonball Flying Car", but the results are not ideal, until the thrilling jump of "Red Fan District" really established its status as an international kung fu superstar.
Now the big brother in his 60s is still working hard, and the speed of filming is about to catch up with the peak, no matter what the quality, we will choose to see Jackie Chan, because he has brought us many good memories.
2, Yi Ling: Mei Yanfang - the supermarket that received Ma Hanqiang's uncle, originally wanted to run well, did not expect trouble, either thieves or small hooligans, and finally went to the toilet when the roof was directly lifted, but also by Jackie Chan brother to see, really too miserable.
The relationship between Jackie Chan and Mei Yanfang is very good, so good that she is basically bullied in Jackie Chan movies, such as the clothes are torn in "Miracle", and even play Jackie Chan's little mother in "Drunken Fist 2", this little mother is basically Mei Yanfang will mention it every time. As the daughter of Hong Kong, the eldest sister of the Hong Kong film industry, and the only film queen and the winner of the song queen, it is a pity that she left us too early, and I hope that she and her brother Zhang Guorong will be all right in the other world. At The birthday party of Dragon Fifth a few days ago, the appearance of her and her brother caused many people to miss.
3. Nancy: Ye Fanghua - in order to take care of her disabled brother, she went to work in the dance hall. At first, he bullied Ma Hanqiang with a group of small hooligans, and later after the misunderstanding was lifted, the two fell in love.
Ye Fanghua debuted as Miss Hong Kong, the first film was this "Red Fan District", and then also cooperated with Jet Li on "Black Man". Although her starting point is high, her development is not smooth, mainly because of the decline of the Hong Kong film market after that, if she debuted in the 80s, she definitely has a place.
In Hong Kong films, Ye Fanghua took the sexy route and acted in some erotic films, but the response was not great. She is a mixed-race beauty herself, so she chose to develop abroad in the late 90s, and she is featured in "Deadly Romeo", "Superman Prequel", and "Blade Runner 3". The most recent work is 2018's Predator. It is worth mentioning that she was once regarded as Zhong Chuhong by many people, but the two still looked more similar.
4, Ma Biao: Dong Biao - his supermarket is often harassed by small hooligans, and then witty sold it to Yi Ling, and then he got married and honeymooned, but he will really enjoy it, but it only hurts Yi Ling.
Uncle Biao and Jackie Chan's big brother are old partners, and they used to play his boss, but this time they were replaced by uncles. However, Uncle Biao's best partner is the fat sister Shen Dianxia, and the couple's husband and wife image in the "Rich and Powerful" series is very popular. In real life, Uncle Biao married a four-room wife, because Hong Kong did not practice monogamy at that time. Sadly, Uncle Biao died of a heart attack in 2006.
5, Stephen Lu: Lu Jianming - lent the car to Dong Biao for marriage, saying that it is his own treasure and should be well cared for.
Lu Jianming is actually a disciple of Zhang Che, who has participated in many Zhang Che's films, in addition to being an actor, he is more of a director and screenwriter, and films such as "A Thousand Years and One Day", "Moon Black Wind High", "Wrong Mandarin Duck", "Four Thousand Gold" and so on are all from him. It is estimated that many people regard him as a small supporting role, it is really a person who cannot be disguised. In recent years, Lu Jianming rarely directs plays, but likes to be an actor, Er Dongsheng's "The Sword of the Third Young Master" and Ye Tianxing's "Seven Mansions" have his presence.
6 and 7, little hooligans: Xue Chunwei and Chen Wenqing - first stealing things, and then going through with Ma Hanqiang, this kind of little hooligans encounter the real underworld immediately. (Xue Chunwei on the far left, Chen Wenqing who draws circles)
Xue Chunwei and Chen Wenqing are both members of the family class, in terms of stunts are first-class adepts, of which Xue Chunwei has also participated in films such as "Thunderbolt Fire" and "Police Story 3", in addition to serving as the action design of Jackie Chan films, he has also participated in films such as "Shaolin Football" and "Let the Bullets Fly", unfortunately, he died in 2011, "Let the Bullets Fly" is his legacy.
Chen Wenqing is also indispensable to Jackie Chan's international route, and his action stunts are also more powerful, participating in films such as "Thunderbolt Fire", "A Good Man", "Peak Moment", "Baby Plan" and so on. Nowadays, it is rare to see it, and it is estimated that it is still working behind the scenes!
8 and 9, Zhou Huajian and Du Dewei - the former is selling ice cream, the latter is buying ice cream, the camera is pitiful, pure friendship cameo.
Zhou Huajian had cooperated with Tang Jili in "Super Plan" before "Red Fan District", and this time the cameo was estimated to be a return to human feelings! After that, he cooperated with Jackie Chan in "Glass Bottle", and in the film, he knew that he was competing with Jackie Chan. Zhou Huajian's acting is really not good, or sing well! As for acting, it is more appropriate to leave it to Zhou Wenjian, who is somewhat similar to him.
Du Dewei still acted in many classics in the early days, such as Ah Wen of "Overlord Flower", Chen Longshi of "Corpse Heavy Land", Zuo Zijie of "Rogue Doctor", etc., but his first impression is Han Nuo of "The Eighth Pawnshop", which is also a childhood memory. And the song "Take Off" I believe you have heard it many times, more dynamic. Today, he is still active in the show business circle, and it is worth mentioning that he once had a relationship with Wu Junru.
10, Mrs. Zhang: Cheng Wei - mistaken by Jackie Chan as his aunt, but seriously, the black sister aunt did have a little surprise when she came out.
Cheng Wei graduated from the first wireless artist training class, there are more students, there are Chen Meiqi, Lu Youhui, Xu Shaoxiong and other people, in the early days also served as the protagonist of many dramas, after the 90s basically played some mothers and the like, but also many times starred in the role of empress dowager, grandma, such as Chen Xiaochun's version of "Deer Ding", "Palace Heart" and so on. She has been acting diligently for decades, and this persistence is the craftsmanship that some stars lack now, and she is still filming today.
11, Hua Ge: Yue Hua - simply put, it is an intermediary, responsible for matchmaking, as long as the supermarket transaction, he has money to take.
Yue Hua, Shaw's drunken man, TVB old drama bone, everyone is familiar with it, in the Shaw period, basically any role can be controlled, decent villains have no problem. When it came to TVB, the shaping president and the black boss were at ease, and he liked his role as a military grandfather in "The Righteous Sea of the Gangster". Unfortunately, the "military master" left us forever on October 20 this year.
"Red Fan District" gave mainland movies the term "New Year film", which won 95 million box office (mainland) that year, if you put it now, how many hundred million do you think it can be?
