Who is the most popular Actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan who has played the villain?
Shi Jian, Liu Kexuan, Luo Lie, Gu Feng
According to Fu Fat's rough estimate, it is probably these four: Shi Jian, Liu Kexuan, Luo Lie, and Gu Feng.
In addition to these, there are also some villain professionals who are impressive, such as Cheng Kui'an, Huang Zhengli, He Jiaju, Yang Si, Wang Longwei, etc., who have created many villains with distinct images. However, in terms of "number of times", it is still a little inferior. Of course, this is only my estimate, if there are different opinions, welcome to leave a message to discuss.
In addition to the above, there is also an unknown actor, and the villain role occupies almost his entire career. You may not be able to name him, but seeing his big face may evoke many of your memories of old Hong Kong films. His name is: Edoshima.
Gangdo
Jiang Dao, formerly known as Ding Shunyuan, was born in Taiwan on June 17, 1942. There are few records of his life on the Internet, and a French-language film and television website briefly introduced him to him as a judo athlete and had competed in several national competitions.
"Five Ghosts and Souls"
At the end of the 1960s, Jiangdao entered the film industry. The first film he participated in was the black-and-white literary film "Big Aunt" (also known as "Autumn Frost Woman's Heart"). After that, he cooperated with the famous Taiwanese director Guo Nanhong many times and starred in kung fu films such as "Blind Girl Hook Soul Sword", "Ghost Gate Taiji", "Five Ghosts To Capture The Soul", but he played some small roles. In addition, he has also guest starred in some other Taiwanese films, including the large-scale fantasy feature film "Zhu Hongwu" and "Fan Lihua Moving Mountains and Overturning the Sea".
"The Golden Sword of Death", the fifth from the right is Jiangdao, and the posture takes off is Taiwanese actor Miao Tian
In 1971, Jiangdao came to Hong Kong and participated in "Jiahe's" "Golden Sword of Death". The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Taiwanese martial arts writer Zhuge Qingyun, starring Zhang Yi and Shi Jun. Although Edo's character ranks outside the male number ten, his rugged appearance attracts the attention of "Shaw".
"Female Catcher" Li Minlang, Zheng Lei, Jiang Dao, Yang Zhiqing
After that, Edo joined "Shaw". He has prominent features and a large body, and is a natural villain material. Edo quickly put in the work, starring Luo Lie and Shi Si in the kung fu film "Female Catcher". Unfortunately, the film was not released until 1975. In the same year, although another movie he starred in, "Invisible Woman", was released, but this movie did not stir up a little splash, and to this day "Tianying" has not repaired this film.
"The Enemy Chain"
In 1972, in the sister article "Qiu Lianhuan" of "Ma Yongzhen" starring Chen Guantai, JiangDao successfully met with another B-grade film king, Yang Si. It is worth mentioning that fu sheng, who became popular in the future, only appeared in this film.
The Five Tigers
"Shaolin Descendants"
After that, Enoshima completely opened up the situation. "Five Tiger Generals", "Thorn Horse", "Big Knife King Five", "Shaolin Children", "Shaolin Five Ancestors", "Hong Fist and Wing Chun", "Hong Xiguan", "Lu Acai and Huang Feihong", "Shaolin Tent Master"... JiangDao has starred in a large number of Zhang Che films and has also cooperated with Liu Jialiang many times. Of course, he plays almost all villains.
Golden Blood
Top 10 Killers
During shaw's service, Jiangdao also did not give up his job in Taiwan. He constantly traveled back and forth between Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even dabbled in South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, as long as "Shaw" did not start, he took over various films. Never picky eaters, just shoot when you give money. The indiscriminateness and number of his films are enough to rival Gu Feng and Luo Lie. This unprincipled approach to work once made him "infamous.".
"Ninja Film" co-produced by Enoshima
Jiangdao served in "Shaw" until 1985. After the suspension of the "Shaw" production, The work on Jiangdao did not stop, but became wider and wider. He joined the more notorious "General" and "Filmark" companies, mixed with Ho Chi-keung, Dung-en and others, and began an assembly line of bad film output. In addition to the performance, he also worked as a martial arts instructor, concocting a whole bunch of "foreign ninja films".
Edo participated in the filming
Although most of the films starring Edoshima are bad films, there are also some well-known films starring big stars. For example, the stars gathered to pay tribute to Zhang Che's "Righteous Courage", Dillon's "Hero Biography", Zhang Guorong's "Dragon And Phoenix Wisdom and Multiple Stars", Chen Xunqi's "Best Thief Partner", Li Saifeng's "Angel Action", Zhou Xingchi's "A Comic Book Breaks the World" and so on.
Movie starring Eejima
It is said that Eojima founded a company called Ko Sun in 1996 to specialize in distributing foreign films in Asia, the details of which are unknown. In addition, Edo has not stopped working as an actor, and he continues to continue his career as a villain in some low-budget films.
"Yang Jingyu"
One of Edo's most recent films is the 2019 main theme war film Yang Jingyu, in which he plays a Japanese military officer. The film was directed by Edu's old partner, Lu Xiaolong. In this film, Edo is still in good spirits, and his body bones seem to be very strong.
Esdao made more than two hundred films in his lifetime, and although the quality was uneven, his many villains left an indelible impression on the audience. Anyway, thanks to his contribution to the film industry. It is precisely because of the existence of these green leaf actors that the world of cinema is more exciting.
