was an important role with special significance for the Hong Kong entertainment circle in the 1980s and 1990s.
He was one of the few martial arts actor with real combat experience at that time. He was once famous with Bruce Lee, and he was known as "the fist has Chen Huimin and the leg has Bruce Lee".
He is a witness and profiteer of the golden age of Hong Kong movies, especially action movies, gangster movies, and police movies. It is precisely because of the popularity of genre movies that he will get out of the "jianghu" and join the film industry.
He is also a line of defense for the "underworld" to infiltrate the entertainment circle. His "abandoning the black society" is, to a certain extent, a microcosm of the two forces of Hong Kong society and the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
has worked in clubs, made movies, practiced kung fu, played in arenas, dealt with all three religions and nine streams, experienced the heyday of Hong Kong movies, listened to Chen Huimin talk about the past, and those rumors about the Hong Kong entertainment circle have all Another taste.
Ⅰ The death of Bruce Lee
According to official reports, Bruce Lee died of cerebral edema, a rare drug reaction caused by the prescription analgesic Equagesic. But because of Bruce Lee's lofty status in the hearts of the Chinese, fans cannot accept his untimely death. There are still many speculations about the cause of his death to this day.
Chen Huimin once had a relationship with Bruce Lee on both sides. In his opinion, Bruce Lee's sudden death was related to his strong and competitive character.
Bruce Lee is by far the most prestigious Chinese idol. His achievements were made by him, and even more so by him.
In that era, a Chinese wanted to make a name in the European and American territory, the only way was to be stronger than them.
has developed muscles, powerful strength, and swift attacks, Bruce has already possessed, but it is still not enough. Only when
is stronger, faster, and more fierce, can you completely conquer opponents who are born taller and stronger than yourself.
For this reason, Bruce Lee not only has to perform high-intensity strength training, but also takes various drugs to combat the pain and injuries caused by this. In fact, the body function is in a critical state all year round.
Chen Huimin, who has actual combat experience, has a very clear view of Bruce Lee's situation, "You are never too big to fight when you are small."
turned out that the "smaller" one won. So, what is the price?
Ⅱ The disgrace of Lan Jieying
Like Bruce Lee, the death of Lan Jieying also left movie fans with infinite grief and memory. However, unlike the reason why fans are concerned about Bruce Lee's sudden death, an interview video of Lan Jieying during her lifetime is the biggest suspense she left to the public. After the
video was exposed, some people said that XXX refers to XXX, and some people said that it is not XXX, but XXX, and XXX was wronged. Some people say that the entire video is forged in order to gain attention.
The deceased is already dead, it is useless to say more. However, it is a fact that Lan Jieying was sexually assaulted by a certain filmmaker during his lifetime.
Chen Huimin did not shy away when talking about this matter, but in his concept, there is no "rape", only "hidden rules."
Lan Jieying's life has been extremely embarrassing.
has beauty, and beauty has not become her weapon in the entertainment circle, but has become the source of all evil for her humiliation and ridicule.
has acting skills, and acting skills have not become the capital for her to settle down, but because of her identity as an actor, she cannot live like a normal person.
At the beginning of 2018, she finally regained her confidence, facing the camera, saying that she is still more suitable to be an actor. However, in November 2018, she died in her own home.
in the next life, just wish she was an ordinary person.
Ⅲ Andy Lau's grievances
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. One thing that Chen Huimin once confirmed gave us a glimpse of the bitterness behind the "king of heaven" Andy Lau.
Hong Kong’s associations have their unique social, cultural background and related political systems as their support, so “Yes” and “The concept of "not" is simply summed up. Since the 1970s, Hong Kong's associations have gradually embarked on the path of "regularization". The younger brother opened ice rooms and sold seafood, and the older brother started multinational business and opened film companies. Hong Kong movies In the heyday of the 1980s and 1990s, the hard work of the filmmakers was the greatest credit. The infusion of funds from the community was also an important reason.
The inextricable relationship between Hong Kong film and the Hong Kong community , So that the movie star standing at the forefront is often the object of the game between the two sides. The sensational Mui Yanfang was slapped in the face and Carina Lau was kidnapped (introduced below), and there were social forces involved, and Andy Lau was not immune to it. Difficult, has been used by the gang to use guns and threats to film.
IV Carina Lau was kidnapped
Regarding Carina Lau's kidnapping, Chen Huimin basically restored the whole process of the matter. The
kidnapping was not planned, but just a temporary intention of a few young and Dangerous. Because she wanted to chat with Carina Lau, Carina Lau did not stop. Several talents kidnapped Carina Lau and took nude photos.
Chen Huimin found the young and Dangerous Boys, asked for the photos, and gave them to Tony Leung.
After he was released from prison, he found that there was another one at home. In order to get money, the young and Dangerous boy sold the photos to the magazine. After that, everyone knows that the unscrupulous magazine published the photos and caused an uproar.
Chen Huimin also deliberately Emphasize two points. First, Carina Lau did not offend a certain elder brother, and second, did not rape.
V Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Donnie Yen, who are the real "Kung Fu Kings"
because Chen Huimin was born in a "training family" and has also been in the ring. He has had many actual combat experiences, so in his eyes, those martial arts actors who are "hands and feet" in the movie are almost weather.
He admires Bruce Lee, admits that Bruce Lee is better than himself, and believes that Bruce Lee is a real "kung fu superstar" ". However, "If you really want to fight, it's hard to say who can beat it." "
He called Jackie Chan a "good brother", thinking that Jackie Chan's kung fu is more inclined to a kind of "acrobatics", which is a kind of movie kung fu that blends film shooting techniques and juggling techniques.
He has the title of "the strongest in the universe" by Donnie Yen. Disgusted, he said that he was "bragged" and said that Yen Zidan is "small" and it is difficult to beat a big opponent in the ring. It can be seen from
that Chen Huimin's views on certain people and things in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are quite personal.
For example, he himself has martial arts skills and understands the price a person has to pay in order to achieve the ultimate in martial arts, so he can see the "crisis" behind Bruce Lee's prosperity. After Bruce Lee died, he gave up his high-income In boxing, he is involved in the ranks of action actors with relatively less stringent physical fitness requirements. It is also his heart that has a lingering effect.
For example, he has beaten the ring and once won countless applause for defeating opponents in the ring, so he is "The understanding is confrontational.
However, the movie is not an arena, and the kung fu in the movie cannot be equal to the kung fu in the arena. The kung fu in the movie is not only to fight, but more importantly, it is played well and beautifully.
Jackie Chan’s Kung Fu It looks very fancy in his eyes-it is just such fancy kung fu that makes the audience enjoy it.
Donnie Yen's "one hit ten" seems to be bragging in his eyes-it is this kind of bullishness that makes The audience was full of enthusiasm.
For example, he said that Lan Jieying was not "rape."
However, from a broader perspective, Lan Jieying’s situation is a true portrayal of all Hong Kong actresses of that era. When resources and power are infinitely concentrated When in the hands of men, women’s pursuit of freedom and equality has become empty talk-they don’t even dare to refuse, so why should the public accuse them?
Chen Huimin’s blunt words are just men’s blunt words.
and his right Carina Lau’s view of being kidnapped was finally attributed to the young and Dangerous boy’s unethical and typical society thinking at work.
If his statement is the closest to the facts, then the one who stabbed Carina Lau the deepest is Magazine. It was the news media’s lack of bottom line and integrity in order to win sales, which caused the kidnapping of Carina Lau to turn from a personal grudge into a social incident.
Chen Huimin Jin, born in 1944He is 75 years old, and whether it is the underworld years of horror and the film career with ease, it will always be a fragment in his memory.
There are Hong Kong stars that you and I are familiar with, and there are hidden bitterness and humiliation behind them.
There are Hong Kong movies that you and I used to be fascinated with, and there are also dark areas where the sun can't reach.
There is the entertainment "big melon" that you and I are still struggling to find the answer to this day, and there are also the unremitting pursuit of generations of Hong Kong filmmakers.
The guide to eating melons in your circle has always been "the one who listens is dark, while listening is clear, the speaker is intentional, and the listener has the heart." Not only the entertainment industry, but also the society, it is also true. Whatever you have in your heart, you will see something in your eyes. .
Chen Huimin believes that Bruce Lee would only take a lot of painkillers if he is kind, but without Bruce Lee's "eagerness", the Chinese kicking the door to Hollywood might be delayed for at least ten years.
Chen Huimin said that the kung fu of Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen is not true kung fu, but without the bold creativity and advanced technology of action actors, there would be no brilliant Hong Kong action movies.
Andy Lau dared not call the police by the gang with the finger of a gun. It sounds sad, but if he had not experienced the "swords, guns and swords rain" of that time, how could Andy Lau now live a legend and become the "king of heaven" in the "king of heaven" "?
There are also Carina Lau and Lan Jieying. They have experienced such a chaotic era when female stars are regarded as "vases". Later, they face it calmly or choose to stay away. Isn't it a kind of uncompromising? The entertainment circle of
looks very familiar, because there are such a group of people who come and go, they love acting, are eager to succeed, and work hard for their dreams. The entertainment industry of
looks very strange, because the world is changing and the people are changing. There is nothing new in the sun, but the sun is fresh every day. The Hong Kong entertainment circle that Chen Huimin was familiar with has finally passed...
