Taking stock of those maverick, arrogant and hot-tempered old Hong Kong actors, the most impressive impression is probably Zeng Jiang, the old drama bone
He has been in the entertainment industry for many years, is a well-deserved veteran, has played countless film and television characters, and has won countless awards.
Not only that, but in life, his story is also wonderful and eye-opening.
He is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of his role as "Yellow Medicine Man", and because of his performance in the films "The True Colors of Heroes", "Blood And Two Heroes", and "Across the Sea", he has established his position in the film industry.
However, because of his hot temper, he was "a tyrant" in the play, and he was arrogant outside the play, not only scolding the actor Yu Mulian, who had extremely high requirements for the play, but also left a rumor of "difficult cooperation" in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
In his emotional life, he married three wives, all of whom were as beautiful as heavenly immortals.
But at the age of eighty-six, he is still active in front of the screen, lamenting that interpersonal relationships are the biggest regret of his life.
In 1934, Tsang Jiang was born in Hong Kong into an acting family. He has heard a lot since he was a child and learned a lot of acting knowledge.
His sister was a big Hong Kong star at the time, Lin Cui (formerly known as Zeng Yi), who had the title of "student lover" at that time.
Therefore, as the brother who loves his sister, Zeng Jiang is in and out of the crew, and at the same time, he also gets the opportunity to be caught at a glance.
Some people squeeze their heads and don't get a corner, while others have luck.
Zeng Jiang belongs to the kind of people who have luck.
During another habitual visit, 18-year-old Zeng Jiang was caught in the eye by the director.
The director invited him to star in a love drama with actress Youmin, perhaps from a young age, he actually completed the performance well, invited by other directors.
And it is precisely because of this performance that he has great confidence in himself.
Later, he played an important role in "The Bird of the Same Age" and "That Little Love" and became a new star in the show business circle, just when everyone thought he would vigorously enter the show business circle.
He turned around and went to the United States to study architecture, and after returning to Hong Kong after completing his studies, he worked as a painter for three years.
Maybe some people are born to be actors.
After returning to show business, he still became a hit.
Although not the protagonist, each supporting role is vivid and even overwhelms the limelight of the protagonist.
And what makes him well known to the public is the one he played in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", who is arrogant and has a straight temper.
In the show business, his personality is the same, arrogant and straight-tempered, so many people are afraid to cooperate with him.
He pursued perfection in filming, once because an actress Yu Mulian was in a state for a long time, he directly broke his mouth and scolded, causing the actor to have no place to look at himself and cry loudly.
On one occasion, he and the "fourth brother" Xie Xian, two old men over eighty years old, had a verbal altercation in front of the media and were almost slapped by him.
This is him, a lonely, upright actor.
And his temper also spread from the front of the screen to his emotional life.
His first wife was the actor Lan Di.
In an era when the screen was still black and white, she was intellectual, elegant, beautiful, and recognized as a goddess.
Watching the TV series she participated in was a must-attend event for people at that time.
Like many celebrity couples, Zeng Jiang's union with her stems from the cooperation of acting.
They met for the first time in the crew.
At that time, Zeng Jiang was a returnee student, he was mature, tall and handsome, and his demeanor and deeds were the taste of a gentleman.
Their love affair has hardly been frustrated, it is logical, both people are so good, who has the confidence to compete?
After a few years in love, they got married.
Life after marriage is very sweet, the two have a son, love and affection, enviable.
But the sweeter it is at the beginning, the greater the gap.
After living for a few years, their contradictions gradually became exposed.
Zeng Jiangben is an arrogant and upright person, who is harsh on himself and the people around him.
Because of this, Lan Di's friends in the show business circle are gradually far away one by one because of Zeng Jiang's offense.
At home, she was also often tingled by zeng jiang's inconsiderate demands, torturing her scalp.
They began to quarrel, and it became more and more frequent.
Until the end, even the children could not be an excuse for their marriage, and their maintenance was finally completely cut off after ten years of marriage.
After the divorce, Lan Di never got the next relationship, and she died of a serious illness.
Zeng Jiang has been commented by the media: his desire for control is very strong, and even photographers will point out during the shooting process, often unconsciously revealing his conceited personality.
When filming Western films, he often belittled Hong Kong actors between words.
He once said: Hong Kong actors, there is no professional, into a class of chai dolls, only care about fun, never want to improve themselves.
His character is not only reflected in his acting, but also in his life.
The failure of the first marriage did not change his personality, but intensified.
Zeng Jiang's second wife, a columnist and famous model, Deng Gongbi.
She has a figure and appearance that makes all men blush, and she has a talent that ordinary men can't match.
At that time, there were countless people who pursued her, but the feelings were often not based on a passion.
Among the many suitors, she has a crush on Zeng Jiang, who is divorced and has a son, and always plays a supporting role in the play.
Ten years seems like a spell.
Coincidentally, in the tenth year of Zeng Jiang's marriage to Deng Gongbi, although they had a daughter, they still did not insist on the past and divorced.
The reason is still due to personality incompatibility.
A talented woman lives with an arrogant, personality-rich man, and the fireworks that collide are not intense love, but fierce quarrels.
Two people often quarrel over disagreements.
Eventually, the marriage also went to an end.
Zeng Jiang's third marriage is more like a surprise of fate.
His third wife, Jiao Jiao, was a famous actor and veteran voice actor, and a girlfriend of his first wife.
Previously, she had a marriage with Taiwanese actor Huang Zongxun. However, after marriage, the husband died unexpectedly due to a car accident.
After the death of her husband, Jiao Jiao left the sad place and went to Hong Kong to develop.
In fact, he and Zeng Jiang have known each other for a long time, but they have not had much communication, or zeng Jiang did not look at Jiao Jiao at the beginning.
Because Jiao Jiao and his girlfriend Lan Di often play mahjong at home, and Zeng Jiang happens to be the most disgusted with these, so the two know very little.
What really turned their relationship around was an accidental incident between the two of them.
Once, Zeng Jiang and Jiao Jiao happened to be on the same set, in order not to be stuck in traffic on the road to rush to the next set.
Zeng Jiang chose to drive a motorcycle to carry Jiao Jiao with him, and because of this accident, Jiao Jiao touched the scene and cried loudly on the road.
Maybe it triggered the softest part of his heart.
In the days that followed, the two often cared for each other, took care of each other, and sparked love.
In 1994, Zeng Jiang, who had two failed marriages, registered his marriage in Singapore with Jiao Jiao, who had lost her husband.
Although they were not blessed by the public, everyone felt that Zeng Jiang's temper was so strange that he would definitely not last the end, but Jiao Jiao still did not hesitate to marry him.
And the truth is that when you meet someone who really wants to take care of, Zeng Jiang's "hard temper" has quietly become "soft".
After marriage, they loved and harmonized for more than twenty years, and Zeng Jiang was also particularly gentle and loving to his wife, and the two have stayed together so far and have never been separated again.
Zeng Jiang once said: Jiao Jiao is an angel, a gift from heaven. Before I met Jiao Jiao, I didn't know what love was.
Now the two have been together for more than twenty years, and occasionally there are mouths, but it does not affect the feelings of the two, they have lived an enviable appearance.
Today, Zeng Jiang is eighty-six years old and still active in front of the public.
He was domineering, arrogant, and temperamental, which frightened his peers. Over eighty years old, he still quarreled with Xie Xian, and even almost slapped him.
But the arrogant, arrogant, and even a little weird images he created have been recorded in the hearts of generations of film fans like carvings.
As an actor, that's enough.
