In the Hong Kong film industry in the 1980s, there were not many people who could play on the same stage with Chow Yun Fat and Lee Xiu-yin, and they were not inferior;
Wan Zi Liang is one of them!
His slightly chubby figure, shiny hair, and powerful acting skills;
Loved and sought after by many people!
In the movie, Wan Ziliang often plays a "big brother" level figure,
In reality, he is also regarded as the eldest brother by Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Weijian, Lin Jiadong and others!
How beautiful was the former Wan Zi Liang? Let's take a look back today!
Wan Ziliang, whose original surname is Hu, was born in Taiwan in 1957;
Because there are too many brothers and sisters in the family, life is very difficult;
His parents gave him to a couple surnamed Wan for adoption.
Wan Zi Liang followed his adoptive parents to live in the New Territories of Hong Kong,
His adoptive parents regarded him as his own, and the family was happy.
19-year-old Wan Ziliang is sunny and lively, handsome,
He quit his temporary job at school and was admitted to the Hong Kong Lai TELEVISION Artist Training Class.
Compared with other actors' dragon set career for many years, Wan Ziliang is lucky,
His strength is also obvious to all!
The first drama starring was "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", in which he played the role of Xie Xiaofeng.
After that, Wan Ziliang starred in Xu Anhua's film debut "Crazy Robbery".
In 1982, Shaw Company threw an olive branch to Wan Ziliang,
Wan Ziliang left Li and joined Run Run Shaw's film and television empire, starring in nearly 10 movies in a row.
In the martial arts film "Rulai Divine Palm", Wan Ziliang played the "Fire Cloud Evil God" who was highly skilled in martial arts, and Cream Xiaosheng Er Dongsheng played his apprentice;
In "The Legend of the New Flying Fox", he played the big hero Miao Renfeng, and competed with Hu Yidao, played by Liang Jiaren, to test martial arts, and his heroic style of love and hatred and envy and hatred won unanimous praise!
Huang Rihua, who has just become popular, plays the younger hu fei in the play.
Whether it is Er Dongsheng or Huang Rihua, in front of Wan Ziliang, the acting skills are still a bit childish.
Wan Ziliang has a chivalrous wind in his body, playing a martial arts predecessor and a high person, which is more suitable;
This is also one of the reasons why Run Run Shaw loved him so much.
In 1984, Wan Ziliang collaborated with Chow Yun-fat on his first film, Waiting for dawn.
Set against the backdrop of the fall of Hong Kong, the film tells the story of the friendship between two men and a woman, as well as emotional entanglements.
It was a very rare anti-Japanese and anti-oppression film at that time.
Wan Ziliang and Zhou Runfa, with this film, were also nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
In terms of acting skills, Wan Ziliang is better;
In terms of roles, Ye Jianfei, played by Zhou Runfa, sacrificed himself to save others, which can resonate more;
In the end, Zhou Runfa won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
At this time, Zhou Xingchi was serving as the host of a children's program and occasionally ran a dragon set in TV series.
In 1987, Wan Ziliang and Li Xiuxian starred in the police film "Brothers", and with their rebellious and outstanding performance in the play, they were once again nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, but unfortunately lost to Chow Yun Fat again.
Wan Ziliang is already a well-known figure in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and many film companies have favored him.
Because of the filming of the TVB drama "Journey of Life", Zhou Xingchi got to know Wan Ziliang;
Wan Ziliang deeply sympathized with Zhou Xingchi's bad luck, and was also impressed by Zhou Xingchi's efforts and talents, and regarded him as a brother.
With the "blessing" of big brother, Zhou Xingchi has obtained a lot of resources;
When Wan Ziliang starred in "The Wind Catcher", he specified that He wanted Zhou Xingchi to play a supporting role, so Zhou Xingchi had the first movie in his life.
According to director Li Lizhi's recollection, Zhou Xingchi had great respect for Wan Ziliang and liked to peek at Wan Ziliang's script;
Because Wan Ziliang is accustomed to making key notes on the script, the more five-pointed stars represent the more important the scene; whenever Zhou Xingchi sees 5 stars appear, he will play with twelve points of spirit.
Later, Wan Ziliang recommended Zhou Xingchi to Li Xiuxian, but he did not expect that Zhou Xingchi won the Best Supporting Actor Award with "Thunderbolt Pioneer", and since then he has opened the nonsense mode.
It can be said that Wan Ziliang is a noble person of Zhou Xingchi and a person who should be thanked in his life!
Wan Ziliang and Zhou Runfa collaborated again on "Jianghu Love", as well as "Jianghu Love 2 Hero Good Man",
The villain he plays, Deng Jiayong, is fierce in heart, hides a knife in his smile, and the limelight even covers Zhou Runfa, and the shiny big back has become an indelible classic image.
In 1988, Wan Ziliang starred in Taiwanese director Tsai Yangming's film "Big Head Boy" (also known as "Big Brother"), and finally won the Best Actor Award at the 25th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and the Outstanding Acting Achievement Award at the 33rd Asia-Pacific Film Festival for the role of Wu Jincheng.
After that, with "Carmen of Mong Kok" and "Brother Precious", he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor respectively.
Wan Ziliang's early emotional experience was not rich,
In 1985, he fell in love with Deng Cuiwen, known as "Little Weng Meiling", and later broke up because of personality incompatibility.
In 1992, after three years of falling in love with TianYou, Wan Ziliang ushered in his first marriage;
At that time, the wedding sensation was all over Hong Kong, and the wedding car used The Car of Rolls-Royce, Run Run Shaw, No. 6 in Hong Kong;
Shaw personally testified of the marriage, and the groomsmen were Zhou Xingchi, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Weijian, Ren Dahua and others.
Unfortunately, four years later, the two divorced due to personality incompatibility.
In the 1990s, there were two Hong Kong dramas that spread across the taiwan strait and three places, one was "Giant" and the other was "Big Time".
In the end, "Giant" won the TVB annual ratings championship in 1992, which shows how hot it is!
The young Zhang Weijian, the handsome Lin Junxian, the old drama bone Wan Ziliang, and the joining of Hong Kong sister have made this family business war drama a god in one fell swoop.
Le Yan, played by Wan Ziliang, is optimistic and emotional, very business-minded, and this role has become the memory of a generation.
When the "Four Heavenly Kings" were red through half the sky, Wan Ziliang had cooperated with all of them, such as "Cousin, You Play", "Legend of the New Brother of the Casino Tycoon", "Urban Hunter", and "Pig Label Family".
The back wave of the Yangtze River pushed the front wave, and the "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series starring Zheng Yijian and Chen Xiaochun ushered in a wave of small climaxes;
Wan Ziliang played the Hongxing boss Jiang Tianyang in the movie, the aura is too strong, after many years, the big brother style is still the same, have to be admired.
Wan Ziliang, who has gained fame and fortune, gradually withdrew from the film industry, focused on doing business, and founded the "Wanshi Clothing" brand.
The store opened to major cities in China, and every time a new store opened, Wan Ziliang would personally come to the scene to cut the ribbon, and the scene was popular and leaky.
Unfortunately, fish and bear paws cannot be combined, and doing business is not the same as acting.
SARS in 2001 and the financial crisis in 2008 brought Wanshi Clothing out of business, and factories and stores were all closed.
Wan Ziliang's second marriage was with a flight attendant who was 16 years younger than him;
Back in 1996, 23-year-old flight attendant Guo Mingli and her colleagues were hanging out in Singapore and happened to meet Wan Ziliang, who was filming in Singapore;
Guo Mingli is a loyal fan of Wan Ziliang, and was attracted by his handsome appearance when he first saw Wan Ziliang's movies at the age of 12.
Seeing his idol for the first time, Guo Mingli couldn't hold back his excitement and asked for a group photo;
Under the introduction of friends, Guo Mingli and a group of sisters gladly accepted Wan Ziliang's invitation to sing karaoke, which was a casual contact, but the two sparked a spark.
In 2002, the two married, and after marriage, they had a son, named Wan Daqian.
Today's Wan Ziliang, for the sake of his family's life, is still active on the big screen, and last year he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor with "Mai Luren".
In the Spring Festival of 2022, Han Han's "Four Seas" also had his participation.
Although the figure is blessed, without the courage of the year, the inland cave collectors are full of storms in the city;
But he is still a legend in the Hong Kong film industry, forever "big brother"!
