Follow me, don't have to pay the "overnight party"!
When it comes to the heyday of Hong Kong action movies, it was the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, the Pearl of the Orient was undoubtedly the largest manufacturer of action movies. The powerful Shaw Film Industry is not to mention, such as Jiahe, Huanya, China Star, Galaxy and other film and television companies have also emerged, forming a hundred flowers of the film era. After the cultivation of major film and television companies, many action stars have emerged here.
Bruce Lee needless to say, he was a pioneer in the development of action movies, and his influence was irreplaceable. For example, Tan Daoliang, Liu Jiahui, Fu Sheng, Chen Xing and other famous stars, their contributions to the Hong Kong film and television industry are also indispensable.
Wang Yu
The one we want to talk about today is the indispensable master of Hong Kong kung fu movies - Wang Yu, whose style of work is mainly comedy, ghost horse and other genres, so that the audience can enjoy the thrilling fight feast at the same time, can be relaxed.
In 1975, Wang Yu, a young man from Jiangsu, was already a Hong Kong national. At that time, under the promotion of the great director Liu Jialiang (who was also his master), he starred in a kung fu film called "Shen Da", which achieved good box office results after its release, and he became an overnight hit.

It was only at this time that everyone found out that before this, Wang Yu had actually signed a contract with Shaw Film 3 years ago, but he did not have much achievement and fame.
In the previous Wu Siyuan directing and shooting of "Dangkou Tan", in fact, Wang Yu has already dedicated his film debut, but unfortunately, as a newcomer, he can only serve as the protagonist Chen Guantai's martial arts stand-in as a "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master" in the film.
The so-called "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master" sounds domineering, but in fact it is a stand-in who fights hard but has no face.

At the beginning of Shaw's family, Wang Yuyin recognized the famous director Li Hanxiang as a "righteous father", under his careful promotion, and then starred in "Northland Rouge", and has since become famous.
Speaking of Li Hanxiang, he is a heavyweight director involved in the land and Hong Kong circles, and his influence in the film circle is comparable to that of Shaw's director Zhang Che. With the support of such a well-known "righteous father", coupled with the deep appreciation of Liu Jialiang since "Shen Da", Wang Yu's future in the film and television industry is bound to be unlimited.
Facts have proved that Wang Yu has done it, he not only "meets noble people" from the art road, but also pays enough efforts to be the biggest cornerstone.

In all the crew, he belongs to the "hard-working type", no matter how hard and tired, he will never hang on his mouth, but silently do his part and strive to improve his ability to perform.
He performed one classic movie after another. The "Ghost Horse Kung Fu Movie" he opened up has injected new elements into Hong Kong action movies, which are highly sought after and loved by fans and friends.
For example, in classic action films such as "Young Chinese New Year's Eve Six Rooms", "Hong Xiguan", "Kung Fu Kid", "Huang Feihong and Lu Acai", "Deer DingJi" and other classic action films, Wang Yu has a good "funny" performance, and his superb martial arts skills have also been recognized by everyone, as for the box office, it is even more profitable for film and television companies.

At that time, he was the fragrant bounty of Shaw Pictures, a rising star following the action superstar Wang Yu, and a key training object of Shaw. Of course, it is also a piece of Shaw's placed in the most critical part. It is said that he was originally called "Wang Zhiquan", and it was precisely because Shao wanted to create a second Wang Yu that he gave him the stage name "Wang Yu", which shows the high degree of attention paid to him.
After the pawn crossed the river, his strength did not lose to the big car, and on the road of acting, Yi Wang Yu Road cut through thorns and thorns, completing the perfect transformation from a small person to a superstar.
Wang Yu, who has achieved a bumper harvest in his career, has also ushered in his own love. In the process of filming "Shen Da", Lin Zhenqi, who played "Golden Lotus", touched his inner "fawn" and deeply broke into the world of love. With the continuous getting along, the two slowly came together because of the drama.
Wang Yu and Lin Zhenqi
In most of Wang Yu's film works, he almost plays a funny and funny hero. But when it comes to love, he is very serious and serious.
During the period of dragging with Lin Zhenqi, in terms of caring for him, he did his best to take good care of him, "taking care of everything". However, what makes him feel uncomfortable is that this girlfriend seems to have a "sense of crisis" at any time, a heart shaped like glass, and it is broken when it is broken.
Ping Su, compared to Lin Zhenqi's plays, Wang Yu is often busy going home at night, and sometimes because the filming place is in a foreign country, it is difficult to return home even once in ten days and half a month. In the case of gathering less and leaving more, "glass man" Lin Zhenqi was even more difficult to sleep and eat, and several times he secretly swallowed sleeping pills to save his life, fortunately, the rescue was timely, so that he would not disappear from the incense.

One day in June 1976, the Glass Man staged the "cutting vein" drama again, and when Wang Yu arrived, she had already collapsed in a pool of blood, and was sent to the hospital to be painstakingly rescued by doctors before her life was saved, and a human tragedy was prevented.
Many tragedies have been stopped, and it is the guardian of the god of luck. But this time, it made the infatuated Wang Yu begin to rethink the feelings between him and Lin Zhenqi. After several meditations, he finally made up his mind.
Lin Zhenqi
On the first day of the Chinese New Year of the following year, the two could not even wait for the end of the New Year before they broke up peacefully, and a "bad fate" ended.
Years later, Wang Yu also slowly understood a truth: although he is also a person in the circle, what Lin Zhenqi wants is a stable family and a happy life as plain as water. And himself, he could not give up the stage, unwilling to take off the star-studded giant star ring.

From the perspective of love, Wang Yu is a person with the most love, although after he and Lin Zhenqi broke up, he was also exposed by the media to have had a relationship with a number of girls, but it has to be said that his first relationship is the most important fragment in the history of his relationship. Loved, hurt, maybe called complete.
The twisted melon is not sweet, and sometimes, letting go leisurely gives each other more space, so that both parties can pursue the happiness that truly belongs to themselves.
As we all know, in Wang Yu's film career, he has a "best partner" and the brother with the best friendship, this person is Fu Sheng, a kung fu superstar who is strongly praised by Shao. However, when he was popular, he died young due to a car accident, and his life was fixed at the age of 29.
For Fu Sheng, 1983 was the end of life; for Wang Yu, it was a difficult journey from heaven to hell.
At about 10:30 p.m. on July 6, Fu Sheng, his brother Zhang Zhensheng and younger brother Zhang Zhanpeng rode in a white Porsche sports car, while Wang Yu and his friends sat in another car, headed for the clear water bay road set to shoot an action movie called "Wulang Bagua Stick".
When Fu Sheng's car passed a bend, because brother Zhang, who was driving, did not control the speed of the car, the white Porsche crashed into the cliff next to it like a crazy wild horse. Only to hear a "bang", the front of the car has been seriously damaged, and Fu Sheng, who is sitting in the co-pilot, has serious injuries to his head and chest, and his breath is dying.
Fu Sheng had an accident with the vehicle
In the early morning of the next day, Fu Sheng, a generation of kung fu superstars, died of massive bleeding in the hospital.
After the incident, all the spearheads were directed at Wang Yu, and then the media hyped up, the matter was even more confusing. Most people believe that Fu Sheng's death was caused by crazy racing with Wang Yu.
Watching his friend die, Wang Yu tearfully regretted his mistake. Faced with questions from the media and fans, he chose to be silent. In my heart, in addition to the word "sad", I can no longer find a second suitable word to describe the five-thousand-year-old Chinese culture.
Shao's hard-earned youngsters died because of "racing" with Wang Yu, who was cultivated at the same height, and how Shao's senior management viewed this issue was obvious.
Pull a hair and move the whole body! After Fu Sheng's death, coupled with the overcapacity of Hong Kong films in the mid-1980s, Shaw had no choice but to close the film company and establish TVB to focus on TV dramas.
At that time, Wang Yu, who was full of guilt because of the death of his friend Fu Sheng, was depressed and began to sink into drugs and alcohol, becoming a notorious bad artist.
Carrying all the Wang Yu with wrong behavior, wang Yu did not seek to continue to sign after Shaw's transformation, and in 1985, Wang Yu officially left Shaw Pictures, which single-handedly shaped his star.
Heroes will always be late, and beauty will not escape twilight!
After retiring from Shaw's family, Wang Yu, who gave up on himself and carried a name of infamy, became the "eye nail" of all film and television companies, and he was afraid to avoid it. And his "righteous father" Li Hanxiang and "master" Liu Zhongliang, brother-in-law Cheng Xiaodong, can only sigh at this "decaying wood".
Wang Yu, who had no drama to shoot, had to change his career in order to make a living, during which time he bought insurance, set up a stall, and worked as a construction worker in the worst case.
Middle-aged Wang Yu
After fading the aura, the former star no longer has a bit of superstar light, and it lives in the rolling red dust and survives. What accompanies him the most is endless loneliness and self-blame.
In order to pass the boring time, he relies on drugs; in order to get rid of loneliness, he lingers in the fireworks willow alley; in order to find a little sense of existence, he is addicted to gambling...
The bad Wang Yu was ruined, and he had no intention of saving himself! When he was poor and had no living expenses, he actually went to the door to find the big director Wang Jing to "wag his tail and beg for pity". However, Wang Dao was also "generous" and immediately sent thousands of oceans to support him...
What human feelings are cold and warm, what people's hearts are back! In Wang Yu's eyes, it is as plain as water, and surviving is the right way in the world.
Unable to walk out of the cocoon, he reversed the biological clock, disrupted the rhythm of life, and his body deteriorated.
Just 25 years after the departure of his friend Fu Sheng, after several years of torture, he was admitted to the hospital for acute hepatitis on May 5, 2008, and then died on May 15, at the age of 53. The person who handled the aftermath for him was his brother-in-law Cheng Xiaodong.
One life, one spring in the grass. Although there is a saying that "yes or no read the Red Chamber", it is not necessarily possible to find an accurate answer from it. Wang Yu's desolate and depressed death in the evening scene is self-inflicted or tricked by fate, just like leaving blank space when painting, and waiting for posterity to comment.
Those who like old Hong Kong movies have a corresponding understanding of many stars in this regard. I have to say that due to the influence of the times, most actors do not have much cultural heritage at that time, and they can compete for a place and shine in the fiercely competitive film and television circle, mostly out of diligence and noble pursuit of acting careers.
Net chart: The back wave pushes the front wave
This kind of person is a conscientious actor, which we call "drama bone". Some netizens commented that it is not that the older one can be praised as a "drama bone", and a good actor must have that "bone" in order to be invincible when the old wave and Sina alternate with each other.
It is true that the netizen's summary is very incisive, and Xiaosheng admires it. But from the current reality, whether in Hong Kong or the mainland, many old drama bones have been replaced by "small fresh meat" and fiercely patted on the beach.
The reason is that four words can explain: what the times want! Just as Chairman Mao said: The future is yours!
Net map: Time is fleeting, and memories are eternal
As an old fan of action movies, at the moment when traffic is king, the older and fewer the stars with real kung fu, occasionally an action movie, special effects account for more than half, and the actor's acting skills are even more dare not compliment. Even so, but still that sentence, if you want to rummage through the lost youth, re-watching the old movie may be able to find some memories.
