are Hong Kong's "four heavenly kings" Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Liming.
also has "Double Mondays" Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan.
also has Leslie Cheung who runs through the entire era. The Hong Kong entertainment circle of
's era was the easiest time for movie stars to get ahead, and it was also the most difficult time for them.
And this young man named Ekin Zheng, with a face, killed the king of heaven!
He had nothing but "handsome"
In the autumn of 1967, an ordinary family in Hong Kong welcomed their second child, and they gave him a nice and easy name, Ekin Cheng.
does not have those bloody plots, even if Ekin Cheng’s family conditions are not superior, but the family enjoys a very warm life, which is the envy of countless people.
But the peaceful life, after all, was broken by the stars of the entertainment industry.
was already in 1984, and Ekin Cheng was also 17 years old. At that time, Ekin Cheng was popular among girls at school. There was no other reason, just one word, handsome!
And the reason why Ekin Cheng was chosen by scouts is just one word, handsome!
So he filmed the first commercial in his life "Ice Cream House". After
tasted the sweetness, Ekin Cheng shot several commercials one after another, and the "Sunshine Lemon Tea" should be familiar to the general public in Hong Kong.
But at that time Ekin Cheng wanted to sing, what should I do?
coincidentally, TVB had a rookie singing contest in 1986. Ekin Cheng successfully entered the top 100 and joined the TVB training class. Three months later, Ekin Cheng was eliminated successfully. The reason for
is simple: too shy, not talkative, and nervous with stage fright.
At this time, Ekin Cheng really "has nothing but handsome." Of course, Ekin Cheng has no self-knowledge, and he doesn't think he is handsome at all.
Sometimes, it is really doomed to hit the prosperous sky.
Ekin Cheng, who was "retired" from TVB, once again encountered the "wireless" training class enrollment. Without any accident, the handsome Ekin Cheng successfully entered the TVB artist training class and officially began his acting career. During the internship period of
, Ekin Cheng had been asked him to go filming. He had filmed everything from "Laser Youth" and "Genghis Khan", but at that time he really had "nothing but handsome" and ended in failure.
Then he took over Zhou Xingchi's children's program "430 Shuttle", which lasted three years.
If you change someone else in the past three years, you may be very anxious. For example, Stephen Chow is anxious to be the host. He thinks about how to get ahead, but Ekin Cheng is not in a hurry. For him, work needs to be fun, he needs to like it, and money. Enough is enough.
Nowadays, some people think that they might have to find ways to buy hot search to create momentum, but Ekin Cheng doesn’t need it, he doesn’t even need to take the initiative to fight for it. In 1990, the famous director Li Guoli approached him and asked him to shoot "Tian Ruo Feeling."
so he should be on fire.
Moreover, the founder of TVB Run Run also personally listed Ekin Cheng as a star to focus on building and training.
"He is worthy of the status of the four kings"
In 1993, when Ekin Cheng was in TVB for a long time, the famous director Wang Jing approached him.
You must know that Wang Jing was in the limelight at the time. I don’t know how many people were rushing to make his movies, but he signed five movies with Ekin Cheng at one time, and declared to the public: I must hold him until he is popular. !
And the reason Wang Jing said is even more jaw-dropping: Ekin Cheng is the most temperamental actor I have ever seen, more fan than Andy Lau.
At that time Andy Lau had starred in many movies and television, and was named one of the four kings, and Ekin Cheng was a newcomer in the film world. It can be seen how amazing the reasons Wang Jing said are.
still remember when Wang Jing was filming "Super School Overlord" there was a very good cameraman, his name is familiar to everyone, Liu Weiqiang. After
finished filming this movie, Liu Weiqiang left a sentence to Ekin Cheng: "If I want to make a movie, I will definitely find you."
because he thinks Ekin Cheng is like a hero who came out of a comic!
then soThe matter came to Liu Weiqiang's first movie "Young and Dangerous in the Rivers and Lakes" after he founded the company.
also has a small episode here. Wang Jing asked Ekin Cheng to shoot Young and Dangerous, but Ekin Cheng was unwilling. So Wang Jing asked him to choose one from the ethical film "Immoral Gift" and the gangster film "The Young and Dangerous." Ekin Cheng really chose "Immoral Gifts", and in the end Liu Weiqiang was forced to get him back by coaxing him with his face.
At that time, Wang Jing smashed the pot and sold iron to raise money to shoot the young and Dangerous. Liu Weiqiang also tried his best. Everyone thought that the young and Dangerous would be a big seller. But what they did not expect was that the young and Dangerous were more popular than they expected. many!
Ekin Cheng, because Chen Haonan became popular overnight, and the bustling discussions in the streets and alleys were all about "Brother Haonan". With just one movie, Ekin Cheng quickly climbed to the front line of the film and television industry, enviing others! Since then,
has filmed films such as "Dark War 2" and "The First Commandment", and even won the Best Actor Award at the Korea International Film Festival.
At that time, Ekin Cheng was regarded by the Hong Kong media as the "Fifth King of Hong Kong". Liu Weiqiang said that he did not start a job and a large number of people had no food. Even Jacky Cheung, one of the four kings, said in person: He is worthy of the fourth. The status of the king.
One can imagine how popular Ekin Cheng was back then!
What about "short-lived", everything is happy and happy
After filming "Young and Dangerous", Ekin Cheng has filmed so many movies, but no film can touch the peak of Young and Dangerous.
As a result, the faces of those Hong Kong media who had just finished holding him changed, and Ekin Cheng instantly changed from the "fifth king" to "a flash in the pan."
But Ekin Cheng himself said about this: “It’s enough to shoot one or two movies a year. The money you make can take several years. You don’t need to fight like that. Just be yourself quietly.”
even his agent said. Ekin Cheng is good at everything, but has no ambition.
He did not rely on the young and Dangerous for taking credit. Instead, he apologized to the Chinese audience in subsequent interviews. He didn't try to climb up, saying that he would let go. How many people can let go of "Hong Kong's fifth king" Status?
Someone may argue that this is not to let go, but that his fame has passed.
Then you really missed Ekin Cheng’s concert in February this year. The first stage of this concert was forced to add extra performances due to the heat. The six days of performances were full, and the last few shows were hard to find. The highest ticket price was once When the price reaches 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, 10,000 people will sing at the end of the concert! Everything about
tells us that if Ekin Cheng really cares about the status of the entertainment industry, he can make a comeback at any time.
can be Ekin Cheng in reality, just a sunny uncle who likes to enjoy life.
He is keen to go out and play. Chen Xiaochun said: "Ekin loves to travel and calls him from time to time. He said that he is in Egypt and Europe. Enjoying life is an indispensable part of him."
Passionate about playing games at home, it also endorses the genuine "Legend of Blood", not a pirated version but a genuine version, this is the humanity of a star!
Everyone’s pursuit is different. Most of us like a life that is worshipped by others, but some people like a life that is plain and ordinary.
is just like Ekin Cheng’s childhood dream: if I grow up, I will buy many toys together!
No, didn't he succeed?
Just as Ekin Cheng said to us: Just be yourself quietly.
END
A good actor is not dealing with us himself, but his work dealing with us.
For example, Zhou Xingchi, you didn't even get to know him personally, but you know many of his movies.
For example, Wang Chuanjun deleted Weibo after it became popular with "I'm not a medicine god" and said, "The actors should hide."
An actor can't get through, mainly related to his works. Leslie Cheung has passed away for so long, but his popularity is still growing slowly. This is a typical example.
Hao Nan brother is a lifetime Hao Nan brother, "Young and Dangerous" has become a classic, how can Ekin Cheng be forgotten?
