Although Shen Chong refuted Wang Yang on his lips, he actually regretted that Chen Peisi did not win the award. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the shortlist for Best Supporting Actor, Tian Feng and Sun Yue are both senior veteran actors, and whether they win the award or not will not help their careers much.

Sun Yue is already UU years old, he is similar to Ge Cunzhuang, both are known for playing villain roles, won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor in 19, and he is the most familiar role to future fans, is the dumb uncle he played in "The Wrong Car" in 1983, and he also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for this movie.

Tian Feng's qualifications are older, he participated in Taiwan's first film after World War II, Heli Mountain Fengyun", and later moved to Hong Kong, joined the Shaw Brothers, and Zhang Che, Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang and other big directors have a very good relationship, played a large number of supporting roles, he has been active until the beginning of the 21st century, like Song Zihao's father in "The True Color of Heroes", the spider spirit in "Green Snake", are all familiar roles to fans.

Although Zhang Guoqiang is young, he will focus on TV dramas in the future, and he has no achievements in films, and the most familiar role for mainland audiences is playing Murong Fu in Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon Babu" in 1997.

If Chen Peisi can win the award, he will definitely leave a good impression on the superiors, and he may have the opportunity to make more movies in the future, instead of relying on sketches to show his comedy talent.

And Xu Shaoqiang won this award, Shen Chong was actually quite surprised, not because of his acting skills, but because he was a year ago, and the jury in Hong Kong and Taiwan should have a bad impression of him.

Xu Shaoqiang is tall, agile, has excellent acting skills, and has a good image and temperament, he is a very rare film talent, Shen Chong has always felt a pity in his previous life, such good material, he has acted in dramas for decades, he has always been half-red and not black, perennial supporting roles, and there is not a single heavyweight work, those directors in Hong Kong are really eye-catching

After crossing over, I realized that it was not that others had no eyes, but that this guy had wasted himself.

Xu Shaoqiang originally worked as an accountant on the stock exchange, and in 1971, when the Shaw Brothers opened the first performing arts training, he signed up, but when he went to the Shaw Brothers Cinema in Clear Water Bay after work, half of the class time had passed, so he had to quit, and two years later he made a comeback, signed up again, and failed to graduate, but he successfully signed a contract and became the basic actor of the Shaw Brothers.

He is extremely talented, he has never studied martial arts, and after learning from Liu Jialiang and Tang Jia for a short period of time, he played with knives, guns, swords, and halberds, and soon got Chu Yuan's appreciation, since "Meteor Butterfly Sword", he has been looking for him to film, and has made more than ten movies adapted from Gulong martial arts novels in a row, and he was the first among his students, when Chu Yuan filmed "Xiao Shiyi Lang", he once wanted to promote him as the protagonist, but was rejected by Fang Yihua on the grounds that the Taiwan market only recognized Dillon, but even so, when Shen Chong crossed, He is already one of Hong Kong's well-known kung fu stars.

At the beginning of 1979, Xu Shaoqiang signed a contract with Li's TV station to shoot the "Shen Shengyi" series of TV series, at this time in Hong Kong, the TV series was filmed and played, and five episodes were played every week, and the crew worked very hard, starting at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and stopped work until midnight, almost every hour of continuous rotation, so once the TV series was started, it was difficult for the actors to have the time and energy to go out to hunt wild food and make extra money.

However, Xu Shaoqiang doesn't care, as long as he has the opportunity, he will go out to play and make crazy money, when he was playing "Crazy Robbery", he was not only playing "Shen Shengyi" at the same time, but also took time to go to Chu Yuan to play "Peacock Dynasty......

Working so hard is nothing in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Andy Lau is also like this, and is praised as a model worker, but Andy Lau, who has ordinary acting skills, has become a king, but Xu Shaoqiang has always been a second-rate star, the key to this is that Andy Lau is clean, self-disciplined and self-loving, and has a very high professional quality, while Xu Shaoqiang is not only romantic, but also alcoholic.

Xu Shaoqiang had been divorced once because of an affair a long time ago, and now although he is married again and has a child, he goes to the dance hall to drink three or four hours of flower wine every day after getting off work from Li's TV, and then goes home to sleep, the nightlife is so rich, naturally he has no time to think about work, so whether he is making a TV series or a movie, he never brings the script home, he always goes to the set to find the drama essentials, and then temporarily memorizes the lines.

In "Crazy Robbery", he played a madman who was mistaken for a murderer, mainly relying on his actions and expressions, plus there were not many scenes, and the filming was completed in three or four days, because the on-site performance was extremely good, Shen Chong didn't care about his professional attitude, but pondered to praise him in the future.

However, in the second half of 1979, after "Silkworm Transformation" became popular all over Hong Kong and Taiwan, Xu Shaoqiang's lack of professionalism was exposed.

first drank too much and disappeared for a day, and when he came back, he didn't apologize, but asked the crew to revise the working hours, which made Li's TV station very angry, but for the sake of ratings, the crew endured it and agreed to his request, but after half a month, Xu Shaoqiang disappeared again, and Xiao Sheng, the producer of "Silkworm Transformation", was anxious to jump off the building, and after a check, he learned that he went to the drama again, this time he went to Jiahe to shoot "Famous Sword" for Tan Jiaming, and then inquired, and immediately became angry - the protagonist of "Famous Sword" is Zheng Shaoqiu, and Xu Shaoqiang is the villain supporting role......

This is a hero, but Li's "Yun Feiyang" has to give HR "Chu Liuxiang" a hand, as a villain, spreading it will inevitably affect the face of the TV station and the ratings of "Silkworm Transformation".

So Li's TV station sent a lawyer's letter to Jiahe, and at the same time sent a few big men to escort him back from the Jiahe studio, and then arranged for someone to keep an eye on him to prevent him from disappearing again, but as the saying goes, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, one is not careful, Xu Shaoqiang disappeared again, this time he went like a yellow crane, there was no news, and he couldn't find it in the whole city......

Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Sheng had no choice but to change the script and change people, and add a "Silkworm Transformation" protagonist Yun Feiyang's magic skills will change the setting of appearance, although this change caused a sensation in the city and attracted much attention, but after a few days, the ratings plummeted, and the TV station suffered heavy losses.

Xu Shaoqiang didn't know whether he was instigated by others, or he was enthusiastic, and when the dust settled and reappeared, he actually held a press conference, condemning Li's TV station for being unkind, and promised him that he could go to the drama and act in movies before signing the contract, so he should not send a lawyer's letter to Golden Harvest, let alone come to the set to arrest him back.

This incident caused an uproar in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it was disturbed for several months, until the beginning of 19ru, under the mediation of Zhang Ying, an old-timer in the circle and known as the "South China actor", the two sides shook hands and made peace, but this kind of behavior not only hurt their own popularity, but also broke the rules of the industry - take people's money, eliminate disasters for others, sign a contract, you should live, there are opinions, you can discuss, you can terminate the contract, even if you go on strike, what is the reason for unilaterally playing missing? If you are missing, you will bite the boss in turn, who will dare to ask you to act in the future?

In the film industry where capital is king, you can be unruly丨You can spend all your time drinking, you can have no one in your eyes, but you can't let the boss empty both people and money......

When "Silkworm Transformation" was at its most popular, Taiwanese filmmakers competed to ask him to act, and the highest price was 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, and his worth was not low Zheng Shaoqiu, but after this incident, everyone retreated.

Shen Chong is not a fan now, but a big boss, the butt decides the head, he looked at Xu Shaoqiang, who was giving a speech on the stage, hesitated for a while, and still didn't decide whether to hold him or not.

His acting skills are really nothing to say, he plays a hero on TV, with a graceful bearing, a master's demeanor, and he plays a madman in "Crazy Robbery", his eyes are fierce, creepy, and the two images with great contrasts are easy to come by, and he is not struggling to win this award.

However, this guy's character is really problematic, if I remember correctly, he will soon get into trouble again, and get together with Mi Xue's sister, Shen Chong himself is also a big carrot, of course he doesn't care about extramarital affairs, the problem is that Mi Xue's sister is 17 years old, Xu Shaoqiang made her belly bigger as a married man, this kind of behavior is too amorous.

After Best Supporting Actor, it is naturally Best Supporting Actress, and the award of this trophy is also the two old-timers that Shen Chong found regardless of the atmosphere of the scene, one is Wang Lai, and the other is Li Zhuozhuo, who cooperated in "Crazy Robbery".

Wang Lai has been acting since the fifties, and has acted in hundreds of plays, with countless roles, both good and evil, and a variety of styles, known as the "Thousand-Faced Actress", which is a face often seen in Shaw Brothers old movies, in Shen Chong's memory, she has won a total of 4 Golden Horse Awards for Best Supporting Actress, which can be described as super green leaves.

And invited Li Zhuozhuo to present the award, mainly because of her qualifications, from Shanghai in the 30s to Hong Kong in the 80s, she is completely a living fossil of Chinese films.

The age gap between the two is a bit big, and there is also no topic to talk about, so they will soon start to be shortlisted

"The Best Supporting Actress at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, the finalists are:

Zhang Aijia, "Legend in the Mountains......

Liu Xiaoqing, "Little Flower......

Li Lie, "Tales of a Small Town......

Zhao Yazhi, "Crazy Robbery......

Ni Yilin, "Ah Cradle" ......"

Shen Chong looked at Wang Yang, who didn't speak, and asked narrowly, "Old Wang, who do you think will win the award?" ”

"You kid, how about you set me up?" Wang Yang's prediction just now was wrong, his old face was a little unbearable, and he said with a dark face: "I know two of these five people, and the other three people haven't seen any movies, how do you know who won the award." ”

"I thought you would say that Liu Xiaoqing won the award." Shen Chong said with a smile: "It is said that you like her very much, after watching the sample film of "Little Flower", you slapped the table and asked people to transfer her from Chengdu to Beijing Film Studio. ”

"Liu Xiaoqing is a rare good actor, Chinese films need such talents." Wang Yang said prickly: "It's too wasteful to throw her in Sichuan to feed the pigs." ”

"Didn't she study music?" Shen Chong was taken aback and asked: "I heard her say that she learned piano and went to work in the Art Troupe of the Chengdu Military Region after graduation, how did she become a pig farmer." ”

"A little girl in her twenties, how can she not love vanity, how embarrassing it is to raise pigs." Wang Yang showed a smile and said: "After graduating from middle school, she was assigned to work on a farm, and the Chengdu Art Troupe only seconded her to perform a play, and after the performance was over, she went back to continue raising pigs." ”
