Preach in words. - Don Tears
In the history of Hong Kong film, there are three actors with very similar routes.
It rose to prominence in three decades.
Some people have been prosperous for a long time, and some people have been extremely popular.
But either way, it's actually extremely successful.
After all, the Stars of Hong Kong's film industry are shining, and it is not easy to stand out.
So no one can ignore them.
The first generation of idols was Andy Lau.
After graduating from Secondary 5, he applied for the TVB Art Training Class and was admitted as a student of the 10th Art Training Class.
In 1981, he graduated with first class results, signed a contract with TVB to play a dragon set and supporting roles, and was reused wirelessly after starring in "Falcon" in 1982.
Wireless is actually very realistic, because there are many artists, and resources will be preferentially tilted to Red Star.
Andy Lau began to develop film and television dual lines.
The third film began to play the main role, and after collaborating with Wang Jing in 1986 on "Magic Emerald", he began to run wild on the road of commercial films.
This question can be seen at a glance from the observation of the work.
Before "Magic Emerald", "Caiyun Song" talked about the changes of the times and the values of young people, "Run to the Fury Sea" was Xu Anhua's literary and artistic film, and then "Home in Hong Kong", which was the first time, also talked about the topic of the times, "Destruction" counted as a commercial action, another love, a literature and art.
However, throughout the 1990s, 86 films were made, including "Magic Emerald", of which only five niche themes, namely "The Inner Story of the Law" and the sequel, a drama film of Tianmu, a work by Zhu Yanping, and all the others were commercial entertainment films.
The brilliance of commercial box office capabilities followed.
Therefore, although the 1990s were the world of "double Weekly Formation", Andy Lau also had the highlight moment of the title of "Five Superstars" or "Four Heavenly Kings of the Film Industry", although in the end it could not be stabilized.
After two thousand years into the heyday, in 2000 with "Dark War" the first Golden Statue Film Emperor, the same year won his first Hong Kong box office annual champion, in 2002 and 2003 two consecutive annual champions, in 2004 with "Infernal Affairs 3" the first Golden Horse Film Emperor, with "Big Guy" and then the Golden Statue Film Emperor, it is called the limelight, and then in the 10th century with "Sister Peach" two Golden Horse, three Golden Statue Emperor.
Regardless of box office, popularity, and awards, the standard is extremely high.
It can be called an idol model.
The second generation of idol actors is Zheng Yijian.
He debuted just ten years later than Andy Lau, and then rose in the mid-nineties.
In 1992, she entered the film industry with "Modern Call Girl".
After five consecutive supporting role films, in 1994, he began to play the main role in "The True Colors of New Heroes" with Wang Jing, which was on a par with Liu Qingyun.
Then the box office performance was actually average, six consecutive films, the highest box office was only eight million.
However, in 1996, with "Ancient Puzzle Boy", it soared to the sky, and four works of the year entered the top ten of the box office.
In 1998, he cooperated with Aaron Kwok on "The Majesty of the Wind and Clouds", and won the annual championship as a double master, which is a remarkable innovation, and then in 2000, he cooperated with Andy Lau in "Decisive Battle at the Top of the Forbidden Purple", which is also a double master, and in 2003, he cooperated with Dawn in "Double Male" as usual.
So on the whole, in terms of box office results alone, the second half of the 1990s was only under The Double Zhou Cheng, Jet Li, and Andy Lau.
However, when it comes to status, because of the treatment of the two masters three times, it can be called the fifth heavenly king.
In terms of works, he is more extreme than Andy Lau, sixty-one works, in addition to suspense, thriller and love each account for one, the rest are all commercial entertainment movies.
In terms of awards, he has been nominated for the Golden Horse Film Emperor once, and won the Best Actor at the 12th Bucheon International Fantasy Film Festival for "The First Commandment".
There is a highlight period, at least there is a film emperor award, which is also a sense of career consummation.
It is also a momentary junjie.
The third generation is Gu Tianle.
He debuted in 1994, directly attacked the film and television double line, signed a contract with Huaxing the following year, and began the development of film and television songs.
Slightly later than Zheng Yijian's debut.
Coincidentally, regardless of film and television, he started as a supporting role for Zheng Yijian, so from beginning to end, his coffee position was smaller than Zheng Yijian.
In the 1990s, he went around, or played a role or played a leading role in small-budget commercial films, and in the early two thousand years, he began to make comedy movies, more famously "Hedong Lion Roar", and at this stage began to cooperate with Liu Qingyun.
Since 2004, it has been praised by director Du Qifeng, and good film resources have emerged in an endless stream, from "Judo Dragon and Tiger List" to two "Underworld", to Jackie Chan's "Baby Plan", Andy Lau's "Disciple", Zhen Zidan's "Fuse", Xu Ke's "Iron Triangle", Zhang Aijia's "A Good Father" and Chen Musheng's "Keep Talking", all of which are of high quality.
Later, there was Mai Zhuang's "Eavesdropping" series and Zheng Baorui's "Accident", Du Qifeng's "Drug War" and Chen Musheng's "Sweeping Drugs".
In the past decade, its resources can be described as "bursting".
Although it has not reached the top of the Hong Kong box office, it has entered the top ten of the box office list a lot of times.
Gu Tianle's performance has always been weaker than Andy Lau and Zheng Yijian's predecessors, but he is very resilient, quite like The style of Andy Lau's crazy playing in the 1980s and 1990s, and the "appearance density" is often staged on the big screen.
In recent years, he has grown amazingly, and he can already play double male drama with Andy Lau.
He is also not as attracted to some niche scripts as Aaron Kwok, but aims at comedy, police and action.
The route is very clever, not and the acting problems are deadlocked.
This is three decades, a popular, two long-lasting idol line actors.
Their trajectories are surprisingly similar.
They all laid the foundation of popularity with a large number of commercial entertainment films, and then became popular.
The other is that they all have a close working relationship with Wang Jing.
Although the simple idol route will bring about the inertial impact of performance, as well as the criticism of word of mouth.
But this road is not something that any actor can walk.
In the history of film for decades, there are only three.
Peak popularity is extremely strong.
The popularity of Andy Lau and Gu Tianle has continued to grow red.
It's rare.
