Speaking of Wei Xiaobao in The Deer Tripod, who is the first thing that comes to mind?
Stephen Chow? Zhang Weijian? Or Chen Xiaochun? But in fact, there is a person who has played Wei Xiaobao before these people, and he became popular with this role, and today he has become a legend in the world of Hong Kong movie kings. This person
is Tony Leung.
In his version, the second male Kangxi is played by Andy Lau.
This is not the most powerful. The most powerful is that he has played Wei Xiaobao twice, and he has also played the supporting roles of Zhang Weijian and Chen Xiaochun, who later played Wei Xiaobao, in his movies.
Now let's take a look at the specific situation.
"Authentic Wei Xiaobao's Dedicated Ditch Girl"
This movie is directed by Ke Shouliang, an early Asian flying man.
Although Ke Shouliang’s movies are not too classic, they have also learned Wang Jing’s Hong Kong-style funny techniques. The more famous ones are "Curry and Chili", "Aviation and Yaji", starring Zhou Xingchi, Jacky Cheung and Tony Leung ( Jacky Cheung appeared twice), both are a good hand in comedy. And another feature of his movie is that the last villain must be played by himself, which is a way to save money.
And this film was also starring Tony Leung, and it brought in Zhang Weijian, who was more talented in comedy at the time and was praised by Wang Jing. From this we can see that the relationship between Ke Shouliang and Wang Jing is definitely good, because I remember that in Wang Jing's "The Gambler", Ke Shouliang has guest starred as the villain.
The reason for looking for Tony Leung was that the role played by Tony Leung, Wei Xiaobao, was very successful, and this film is about Wei Xiaobao’s journey to modern times. The thinking is already very advanced, but I don’t know if I paid the copyright fee to Jin Yong.
In addition, Kangxi's actor invited Tang Zhenye, who is also the Five Tiger General, who also starred in Wu Yingxiong in Zhou Xingchi's version of "The Deer and Ding Ji" the previous year.
Tony Leung plays the role of Wei Xiaobao for the second time. He is bolder and nonsensical in image. It may be influenced by his good friend Stephen Chow's performance as Wei Xiaobao.
And the focus is still on the second male number Zhang Weijian. He also played Wei Xiaobao in the later TV series "Xiaobao and Kangxi". He can be the offspring of Wei Xiaobao. Together with the originator Wei Xiaobao, he will do his best in this film. The comedy has been played to its extreme, and the help of many sexy beauties is also the icing on the cake, making this gimmick full of entertainment.
"Hong Xingzai: The Great Storm"
A movie directed by Wang Jing screenwriter Qiu Litao. At that time, due to the wave of "Young and Dangerous" by Wang Jing's company, a series of "Young and Dangerous" official biography came out one after another, and this film is One of the rumors, the original team has not changed much.
At that time, Tony Leung was signed by Wang Jing, so he tailored this Young and Dangerous movie for him.
is different from other young and Dangerous movies. In order to present Tony Leung’s melancholic character in the script written by Wang Jing, this rumor is deliberately expressed in a martial arts style.
perfectly blends the modern young and Dangerous arena with the martial arts style, and the starring actors Leung Tow Wai, Li Ruotong, and Chen Xiaochun are all actors who have played Jin Yong's martial arts dramas. From Wang Jing’s works, we can more or less feel Wang Jing’s The obsession of the martial arts world.
and the more interesting ones are the male number one Tony Leung and the male number two Chen Xiaochun. Although Chen Xiaochun has become famous for his pheasant brother, but in front of the actor Liang Chaowei, he can only play a supporting role. You must know that even if it is as popular as the then Ho Nan brother and Liang Chaowei Cooperation will be suppressed. It can be seen that Tony Leung's influence in the 1990s was actually not lower than that of the four kings.
And Tony Leung is the originator of Wei Xiaobao, and the only person who has played Wei Xiaobao twice. Chen Xiaochun, as the offspring of Wei Xiaobao who has been late for several years, is naturally reasonable for him to be a supporting role.
can be seen from these two movies. As the only person who played Wei Xiaobao twice, and let the future generations of Wei Xiaobao play him as a supporting role, it is natural to have today's achievements and prestige.
