There was a time when he did not promote "subculture" and did not advocate cynicism, he pushed the "hero hero" to the height of history, and conquered the audience with a masculine spirit.
The boys born in this era are all muscle-dominating, mantis arms as a car, and their eyebrows are full of chivalrous courage and the loyalty of the righteous.
This is the big man in the "Shaw" era.
And in the "Shaw Boy", we have to mention this heroic "big brother"
- Dillon.
Know the name "Dillon", because of the TV series "Central Plains Dart Bureau", this Taiwanese martial arts drama invited a number of Hong Kong actors to participate, there are Dillon, Noon Ma, Yuan Biao, Dillon played the male number one Zhao Tianhao, but the role is not as much as the female number one Yang Lijing.
At that time, I thought that Dillon was a Taiwanese, and later watched the movie to know that this was an authentic Hong Konger, and the degree of popularity was to know Dillon people who knew Dillon through watching "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" could not imagine at all, this baton Zhang Tielin played the elderly Qianlong Emperor's "Emperor Amma", more dashing than the young Qianlong Emperor, it is said that handsome even the martial arts novel master Gu Long praised and maintained, for which jackie Chan, who had just debuted, scolded and cried.
Meet Zhang Che. Become an actor
Dillon, whose real name is Tan Furong, was born on August 19, 1946 in Xinhui, Guangdong.
Entering the film circle in his early twenties, dillon recalled to Wei Junzi that after graduating from high school, he did a tourist business at the Peninsula Hotel, and at that time, he liked the films of the big director Zhang Che, so he ran to learn kung fu, practice bodybuilding, and prepare for being an actor.
However, at that time, Shaw's company had rules, that is, when the actor must be able to speak Chinese, the reason is very simple, Shaw's boss is a mainlander, can only speak Cantonese, it is not easy to pass.
But director Zhang Che did not struggle in Mandarin, as long as he is optimistic about the talent, he will still be admitted. Dillon met Zhang Che during the exam, and all his performances satisfied Director Zhang and entered the actor training class. Then there are all kinds of learning, including driving, dancing, martial arts, etc., and when the homework is done well, you can become an actor in the film.
This is a threshold, it is Zhang Che's eclecticism that has completed Dillon, so Dillon has always introduced Zhang Che as his own Bole.
At that time, doing tourist business, there were two thousand Hong Kong dollars per month, but there were only five hundred yuan in the film company, and the income was reduced, fortunately, the family was very supportive, especially Dillon's mother said that "these years have been a little harder", supporting Dillon and Shaw to sign an eight-year contract.
After entering Shaw, Dillon's fate was initially linked to Zhang Che, and from 1969 to 1975, Dillon's film works were almost all directed by Zhang Che.
When filming "The One-Armed Knife King", Dillon played a small role, only one line, but to use Chinese to say it, Dillon repeatedly practiced, it is said that he practiced tens of thousands of times at home, but when he said the lines on the set, he still caused a lot of laughter, and finally had to use dubbing. Although Zhang Che's style is strong, he is very patient with newcomers, and for Dillon's lines are not very good, he will give fewer lines at the beginning and slowly increase the confidence of the actors.
Be the protagonist. Play the bad guy
The time to run the dragon set is not long, Dillon became the protagonist, starting from "Bodyguard", but also opened the "double hero" mode of Dillon and Jiang David.
There is a saying that "Zhang Che Thirteen Taibao" in the jianghu, in fact, the number of people who have made movies with Zhang Che is innumerable, many people regard Zhang Che as a master and a master, the first generation of disciples is represented by Wang Yu and Wu Ma, the second generation of disciples is Represented by Dillon and Jiang David, the third generation of disciples represented by Li Xiuxian and Fu Sheng, and there are also the fourth and fifth generations, but the most influential is the first three generations. In addition to the actor, director Wu Yusen was greatly influenced by Zhang Che, and the American director Quentin Tarantino is also a fan of Zhang Che.
During the filming of Zhang Che's film, Dillon and David Jiang had a relatively harmonious relationship, in Dillon's own words, "competition is benign". Judging from the content of the movie, Zhang Che still pays attention to balance, and the most beloved are Dillon and Jiang David, but the scene is still averaged, and other disciples will be arranged to play a balancing role in the play, as for who can shine, it depends on personal creation.
In 1973, when filming "Thorn Horse", Zhang Che openly solicited negative roles, but in the era when heroes and heroes occupied the screen, not many people were willing to play bad people, and they were very reluctant to play bad people, afraid of destroying their own screen people and affecting development.
Dillon felt that this was a breakthrough in acting, so he decided to be the first person to eat crabs. In the movie, Dillon played the bad guy, Jiang David played the hero, Chen Guantai played the mangfu, the result was still the "bad guy" brilliant, Dillon thus won the 11th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards "Excellent Actor Special Award", brother 19th Asia Pacific Film Festival Excellent Acting Award.
"Thorn Horse" pushed Dillon to the first peak of his career, and his drama path gradually became more limited to Zhang Che's films.
Dillon Red. Jackie Chan cried
In 1974, David Jiang and Dillon were their own directors, and starred in each other, so that they had "Drug Addicts" and "Motorcycle", but the influence was average, and both of them felt that it was more appropriate to be a director and an actor.
In 1974, Dillon starred in The Assassin of Death, directed by Monte Herman. In 1975, he participated in "Falling into the City", directed by Li Hanxiang. In this way, Dillon opened up more drama paths, contacted more directors, and li Hanxiang also cooperated in "Yingtai Weeping Blood", all of which played the Guangxu Emperor.
It is said that at this time, Dillon and Jiang David began to make trouble, stemming from the "storm dispute", one side of the limelight overshadowed the other side, it is inevitable that there will be some knots in the heart, even if they do not want to compare, people in the film and television circle, it is inevitable to be on the "weapon spectrum" of others, it can be said that they can't help themselves.
In 1976, Dillon participated in "Tianya Mingyue Knife", which opened the "Iron Triangle" era of Gu Long's original work, Chu Yuan's director, and Dillon's starring role, and successively filmed "White Jade Tiger", "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Bright Moon Sword Snow Night Annihilation", "Three Young Masters' Sword", "Chu Liuxiang", "Xiao Shiylang", "Bat Legend", "Ghost Mountain Villa", etc., laying the foundation for his hero image on the screen, which was not only loved by the audience, but also deeply recognized by Gu Long himself.
At that time, not long after Jackie Chan entered the industry, director Luo Wei took Jackie Chan to see Gu Long, but he did not expect Gu Long to say: My script was written for Dillon, not for you.
Jackie Chan was quite devastated, and he ran to the bathroom and cried. This passage has been mentioned many times, and the details are not easy to examine, but it can prove that Dillon was red at that time. This was the second peak of Dillon's career.
From 1978 to 1986, Dillon worked with directors such as Chu Yuan, Zhang Che, Cheng Gang, Bao Xueli, Sun Zhong, Ding Shanxi, Li Hanxiang, tang Jia, etc. He also went to the age of confusion in the right place, and then on the screen as a hero who jumped up and down, punched and kicked, it was not very appropriate, and a new breakthrough was waiting for him.
Play Big Brother. Called the Emperor of Shadows
In 1986, Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa's "prove themselves" turnaround work "The True Colors of Heroes" was released, and the degree of popularity and influence need not be repeated.
Zhou Runfa rounded the title of Golden Statue Film Emperor and threw off the title of box office poison, and Wu Yusen finally broke free from a series of routine comedies and began the road of the master of violent aesthetics.
Although Dillon's limelight is not as strong as Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong, he has won the Golden Horse Film Emperor with his stoic and restrained acting skills, and has changed from a generation of heroes to a big brother on the screen, and the phrase "I should not be a big brother for a long time" has become a classic colloquialism.
In the same year, Dillon starred in "The True Biography of Heroes" directed by Huang Baiming, and then starred in "People's Heroes" and "Heroes 2".
In the 1990s, Dillon's work began to decline. In 1993, he played Fu Hongxue for the fourth time in Chen Xunqi's "Prodigal Son of border city" ("Tianya Mingyue Dao", "Bright Moon Sword Snow Night Annihilation", "The Sword of the Three Young Masters"), which is a reliving of a heroic dream.
In 1994, in "Drunken Fist 2", huang Qiying, played by Huang Qiying, was the father of Huang Feihong, played by Jackie Chan, who was ashamed of Gu Long because of Dillon, and this time they finally "walked" together. In 1999, he participated in "Meteor Language" and won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 19th Hong Kong Film Awards.
There are fewer and fewer plays. Memories are beautiful
At the same time, Dillon began a small screen journey, participating in the TV series "Bao Qingtian" in 1995, and then participated in "Central Plains Dart Bureau 1 and 2", "Integrity Action", "Bodyguard", "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3", "Yangmen Tiger General" and so on. In the new century, his works in film and television have become fewer, and a generation of heroes and big brothers have become the protagonists of beautiful memories.
It was during the filming of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" that Zhang Che died of a serious illness, and Dillon let his son Tan Junyan attend the funeral. In fact, Zhang Che and Dillon had a misunderstanding in his later years, did not appreciate Dillon's kindness and gifts, and wrote a letter of complaint to Dillon.
However, Dillon said at any time that Zhang Che was a "benefactor" and "BoLe", and it was expected that his character of retreating from difficulties and Zhang Che's dead-end personality would be different.
It is worth mentioning that Dillon's wife Tao Minming is also a Shaw actor, the two were married in 1975, love so far, there is an only son Tan Junyan, and later became an actor, in 2015 participated in the TV series "Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou".
Come to think of it, Dillon has participated in so many Gulong movies and played many famous roles, but he has not acted in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" ("Ghost Villa" is from the Lu Xiaofeng series, but the movie is adapted into the story of Chu Liuxiang; and Shao's Lu Xiaofeng is starring Liu Yong), which can also be regarded as letting his son help "complete", although Tan Junyan played Ximen Chuixue.
Today is Mr. Dillon's 71st birthday, and I wish Dillon a happy birthday!
