Shi Tian, a veteran filmmaker active in the Hong Kong film industry in the 1970s and 1980s, died of cancer, and Huang Baiming, one of the founders of New Art City, revealed that he had heard from Shi Tian's younger son that Shi Tian had indeed died, and both sons were working abroad because their father was ill and returned to Hong Kong to accompany him.
In the eyes of Lin Junxian, Shi Tian is a godfather-level celebrity in the Hong Kong film industry, not only because Shi Tian is an all-rounder, but also because the new art city founded by Shi Tian and others has not only won the popularity of director Xu Ke, but also popular with big stars such as Zhang Guorong, Maggie Cheung, and Zhang Aijia. The most prosperous time for Hong Kong cinema was probably in the 1970s and 1980s, and many comedies starring Shi Tian were box office hits. In 1993, Shi Tian seemed to anticipate the decline of the Hong Kong film industry, turned to real estate, sold good ideas, and sold many houses.
Shi Nansheng revealed that Shi Tian actually had cancer two years ago, and later healed and recovered, and a year ago he also saw that he was still in good spirits, but then the cancer recurred and he was hospitalized again, and he also told Huang Baiming that the two of them drank tea together when they were discharged. What Shi Tian left a deep impression on everyone was that he played the fourth uncle in "Hero True Colors 2", his acting skills were very powerful, and the roles he played were vivid.
Zha Xiaoxin, a well-known media person in Hong Kong, revealed that Shi Tian's son confirmed that his father had died. Shi Tian, known as Chaplin of Hong Kong, died at the end of October, and the news of his death was heard by Huang Baiming from Shi Tian's younger son. The last wish is to deal with the affairs behind the scenes in a low-key manner, so the family has no publicity. Shi Tian is the founder of New Art City Pictures and has created many classic movies. Together with Mak Ka, Huang Baiming, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei, Teddy Robin and Xu Ke, he has been called the "Seven Monsters of New Art City" and has contributed many word-of-mouth box office win-win films.
Shi Tian and Pan Yingzi are the same age, both 72 years old, Pan Yingzi sent a message of mourning, expressing sadness and regret gushing into his heart, Shi Tian is very humorous and funny, his voice and smile appear in front of him like a movie picture. I met him when I was young, and I also collaborated on movies, and I admired That Shi Tian's brain was very flexible and often had great ideas. Pray that he will go all the way, leave the bitterness and happiness, and pass away from the Pure Land of Bliss as soon as possible.
Wang Manling, a veteran media person in Hong Kong, also sent an article to mourn Shi Tian, revealing that she often interviewed three big guys in the office of Mong Kok in the new art city that year, leaving many memorable clips! Media people deal with a lot of filmmakers, and Shi Tian was very popular in the 70s and 80s, and the company he ran was also very popular.
Director Li Lizhi also sent an article to mourn Shi Tian, the content he revealed has actually been reported by the media, it is estimated that he and Shi Tian are not very familiar, the first to send tribute is the actor Lin Junxian. Lin Junxian also revealed that Shi Tian is the president of the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will hold a memorial service for Shi Tian.
Shi Tian has made great contributions to the once prosperous Hong Kong film industry, although he later switched to real estate, but still interacted with the brothers he had worked with, and in 2016, he last starred in "My Grandfather is a Secret Agent" directed by Hong Jinbao, and also performed with Mak Ka, Hong Jinbao, Xu Ke and so on.
Shi Tian has performed in movies such as "Drunken Fist" and "Hero Nature 2", and he has participated in the production and distribution of classic masterpieces such as "Best Partner", "Hero Essence", "Ghost of Qiannu", "Happy Ghost" and so on.
Shi Tian's early image looks joyful, probably because of too thin reasons, the later period is much older, diagnosed with cancer, recovered after treatment, but still failed to completely cure, so the cancer recurred, leading to eventual death. Hope he goes all the way and without pain!
