In the entertainment industry, many people who mention Xie Xian do not understand will definitely think that he is Xie Tingfeng's father. In fact, in addition to being Tse Tingfeng's father in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Xie Xian is also an evergreen big brother in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and even Jackie Chan has to call him "four brothers" when he sees him.
Xie Xian's status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is very high, so no one dares not to give him face. However, there are always exceptions to everything, and this time he met people who did not give him face very much, and even shouted: "Let Xie Xian climb to Taiwan to see me."
Xie Xian has always been hot-tempered in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and he did his own thing, but this time he did not get angry and obediently apologized and admitted his mistake. So what kind of big man did Xie Xian provoke this time? Why did you personally apologize?
It turned out that in 2015, when Xie Xian and Zeng Jiang attended the event together, they angered Xie Xian because of Zeng Jiang's words. Xie Xian got up and slapped Zeng Jiang directly, and after slapping the 81-year-old Zeng Jiang, the 79-year-old Xie Xian arrogantly said that Zeng Jiang was not qualified to have a temper in front of him.
When this matter was reported, Zeng Jiangyuan's brother-in-law in Taiwan, Wang Yu, learned of the incident and directly said: "Let Xie Xian climb to Taiwan to see me." Who is Wang Yu? Why did he dare to ignore Xie Xian like this?
In fact, Wang Yu, who was popular in the Entertainment Circle of Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 60s and 80s, was not at all inferior to today's A-list superstars. He was the first generation of martial arts superstars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the predecessor of Bruce Lee.
He not only created a precedent for kung fu films, but also left a strong mark on the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry, Jet Li and Jackie Chan are brothers in his eyes.
Not only that, he also joined the largest gang in Taiwan and became a key member. It can be said that he is not in the jianghu, but there are still legends of him in the jianghu. So how powerful is Wang Yu, and how wonderful is his life?
Wang Yu was born in 1944 in a wealthy merchant family in Shanghai, and Wang Yu, who grew up in a well-off family, did not study as well as other children and became a good child in the eyes of adults. On the contrary, it is a lot of trouble, which makes parents have a headache. Although Wang Yu does not like to learn, he is very fascinated by martial arts, such as fencing, karate, taekwondo he is very proficient.
Because Wang Yu loves sports very much, his father can only send him to the Shanghai Institute of Sport for study, and he also hopes that he will focus on what he likes and cause less trouble.
In this way, Wang Yu spent his life at the Shanghai Institute of Physical Education until the age of seventeen, and later because the family business turned to Hong Kong, Wang Yu went to Hong Kong with his parents, although he later entered the Department of Civil Engineering of Zhuhai College.
During his time at the school, Wang Yu was selected into the junior swimming team due to his outstanding swimming skills, and also won the championship of the Hong Kong Swimming Competition twice. Just when Wang Yu was proud of the spring wind, a verbal altercation with his teammates did not control his fiery temper and beat his teammates into the hospital. Therefore, the swimming team expelled Wang Yu.
Just when Wang Yu was upset about being expelled, he accidentally met Shaw Run Fu, the founder of Shaw Pictures, and Shaw Saw this young man, who was full of heroism, with a well-proportioned figure and strong muscles, which was very suitable for shaping the image of a hero.
Therefore, Shaw invited Wang Yu to sign a contract with his own company. In this way, Wang Yu stepped into the film and television circle, and the martial arts films in Hong Kong in that era were just emerging, plus Wang Yu's kung fu foundation was solid.
Run Run Shaw arranged for him the first film in his life, "Tiger Hero Annihilation", in which he played Lei Hu, but the film did not gain much fame after its release, but because Wang Yu was in the crew, he was willing to learn and work, and had a solid foundation in kung fu. Therefore, it was appreciated by Zhang Che.
So in 1967, directed by Zhang Che and starring Wang Yu, "One-Armed Knife" turned out to be a success, and the film broke the million box office as soon as it was released, which was undoubtedly a miracle in the era when movie tickets were a dime. The success of "One-Armed Knife" not only made Zhang Che a million directors, but also made Wang Yu usher in the peak of his career. For a time, Wang Yu's name also became synonymous with martial arts films, which established his position in martial arts films.
Since "One-Armed Knife", Zhang Che and Wang Yu formed a golden partnership in the Hong Kong film industry, and at that time, as long as their films were basically all on fire, such as "One-Armed Knife King", "Divine Knife", "Great Assassin" and so on, almost all of them became classics.
For a time, Wang Yu's fame had reached the point of reaching the pinnacle, how hot was Wang Yu at that time? Every time he stayed in a hotel, there were always thousands of fans outside the hotel blocking the door looking for him to sign an autograph. At that time, in addition to being sought after by fans, Wang Yu was also favored by many female stars, among which the news that Lin Qingxia had chased Wang Yu was also talked about.
In fact, before falling in love with Lin Qingxia, Wang Yu had a marriage. His wife's name was Zeng Yi (stage name: Lin Cui), who was a film queen level figure in the film industry at that time, and also a great beauty. Later, because the two gathered less and left more, the feelings became weaker, so the two divorced.
When Lin Qingxia was filming "Eight Hundred Heroes", she called Wang Yu and asked Wang Yu to teach her to practice driving. At that time, Wang Yu had just divorced his wife, and his mood was relatively lost, so he rejected her.
But Lin Qingxia did not give up because of this, and still called Wang Yu every day and used various excuses to ask him out. As the saying goes, "men chase women across the mountain, women chase men across the yarn", so Wang Yu finally compromised and agreed to be with Lin Qingxia.
But the relationship between the two did not last long, and the two broke up after only half a year, because although Wang Yu was already a big star at the peak at that time, his bad habit of liking to fight and fight could not be changed.
It was common to see the negative news of his fights on the front pages of newspaper headlines. At that time, Lin Qingxia's career was on the rise, and Wang Yu decisively proposed to break up in order not to affect Lin Qingxia's future.
After the two broke up, Wang Yu still lived a life of fighting that he was not used to. At this time, Wang Yu's popularity is also rising, although his popularity has risen, but his salary in the company has not risen at all.
Therefore, he went to the boss Run Run Shaw to talk about whether he could raise his salary, because wang Yu's contract with the company did not expire at that time, and the company completely pinched to death. Wang Yu knows that no matter how to talk about conditions and raise wages, the company will not rise, because the control is in the hands of the company, and he can only be reduced to a tool for the company to make money.
The more he thought about it, the more angry Wang Yu, sneaked into the company's data room and burned more than 100 artist contracts, you know, Wang Yu's behavior not only has to face huge compensation, but also to eat lawsuits. Fortunately, he was a relatively smart person who did not only burn his own contract, so even if the company wanted to investigate, it could not be determined that he did it.
It was also because of this that Wang Yu successfully broke up with Shaw Pictures, and since then, he has struggled to survive in Hong Kong, just when Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong, Wang Yu knew that he had no development opportunities in Hong Kong. Therefore, he decisively left Hong Kong and went to Taiwan.
After coming to Taiwan, Wang Yu did not know what to do at first, so he simply joined the local community, and in that era, fish and dragons were mixed and associations ran rampant.
Because Wang Yu dared to fight and dare to break through, he was quickly mixed with the position of backbone members in the society, and even worshiped the boss of the society. After that, Wang Yu participated in the community fight, thus offending other community forces and being severely injured, but Wang Yu was still able to retreat.
In 1976, Wang Yu returned to his acting career and took over the film "Wind and Rain Double Meteor" filmed by Luo Wei, in which he partnered with Jackie Chan, and it was precisely because of this film that two people who originally did not know each other intersected and finally became friends. Later, when Jackie Chan was squeezed by Luo Wei, he wanted to leave Luo Wei and join Jiahe Pictures, but Luo Wei always refused to let people go and played the set of Shaw Pictures.
Not only that, Luo Wei also called a group of small minions to teach Jackie Chan a lesson, and Jackie Chan pulled out his leg and ran, and later he could only find Wang Yu to help. After Wang Yu learned of this, he thought that he had let himself fall into such a field because of the oppression of Shaw Pictures, so he decisively helped Jackie Chan.
With the intervention of Wang Yu, Luo Wei had to release people, after all, Luo Wei knew that although he had strength in the entertainment industry for many years, compared with Wang Yu, a person who mixed society, his own strength was still not enough to see. In the end, Jackie Chan also went to Jiahe in his mind as he wished, and Wang Yu became the most respected big brother in his heart.
In 1990, "Burning Island" supervised by Wang Yu, Wang Yu invited Jackie Chan to participate, Jackie Chan did not say a word and went, compared to Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and Liang Jiahui are very embarrassed.
At first, Andy Lau and Leung Ka Fai did not want to star, but they were forced by Wang Yu's forces to participate. Although the film was full of big names, it ended up dismal due to production problems, and it did not bring much benefit to Wang Yu.
Later, Wang Yu gradually faded out of the entertainment circle and the community, thus turning to the business world, because Wang Yu had a unique vision, he made a lot of money by relying on real estate, and thus also opened his luxurious life.
Wang Yu once spent NT$100 million to buy 3,600 square meters of land, and then spent 300 million yuan to build a large villa like a palace on it, and finally, because he wanted to return to Hong Kong to accompany his elderly mother, he directly sold it for 300 million.
Someone once asked him that he had sold his hard work for many years, and you weren't sad? Wang Yu said, "The old ones don't come if they don't go to the new." From this incident, we can also see Wang Yu's freedom.
In 2015, when Xie Xian and Zeng Jiang participated in the event, they annoyed Xie Xian because they did not speculate with Xie Xian. Xie Xian stood up and slapped Zeng Jiang directly.
Not only that, Xie Xian also said arrogantly: "What qualifications do you have to put the score in front of me"? Later, after media reports, Wang Yu, who was a former brother-in-law, knew about it and said: "Let Xie Xian climb to Taiwan to see himself." Although Xie Xian's status in Hong Kong was very high, he did not dare to offend Wang Yu, and in the end Xie Xian personally went to the door to apologize to Zeng Jiang, and Wang Yu gave up.
Nowadays, after Experiencing Two Strokes, Wang Yu's life mainly depends on the care of his family, but despite this, Wang Yu's achievements in the film industry are indelible and have left the audience with very precious memories.
