There were "Four Little Dragons" in the film industry in Hong Kong.
Bruce Lee, Ti Lung, Jackie Chan, Liang Xiaolong.
After Bruce Lee, the most famous is Ti Lung.
is not only good in appearance, good acting skills, but also a master of Wing Chun.
even Zeng Zhiwei later said: "Four dragons, I know Ti Long the most, I am not afraid of Jackie Chan."
Dillon's handsome is that kind of tough and free and easy with masculine charm.
is the number one niche for Gu Long's adaptation of the film.
Jackie Chan was still a young man.
It can be said that Ti Lung is definitely one of the male gods in the 70s and 80s of Hong Kong film and television circles.
and David Jiang are hailed as the best "twin" in the history of Chinese film, none of them.
Ti Lung, now 73 years old, is the real eldest brother in the Hong Kong film industry.

Dillon was born poorer. How poor is
? In his words,
is so poor that they don’t even have a pair of shoes.
"Once in school, everyone lined up in the playground,
was so sunny, I fainted,
suddenly got excited, remembering a big hole in the sole,
was afraid of being seen, so I hurriedly bounced up. "
-Lin Bing "Interview with Dillon"
In order to make a living, he worked as a tailor.
But my heart is always unwilling to be so ordinary for a lifetime.
is also at this time, Shaw Films Company recruits artists.
The restless Dillon signed up with the mentality of a try.
also learned martial arts because of his outstanding looks.
In 1969, Ti Lung successfully entered the Shaw Film and Television Southern Actor Training Class.
At the age of 19, he is already heroic, with a narrow breath between his brows.
was discovered by Shaw's top director Zhang Che. It is said that he was selected among a dozen newcomers and formed a screen partner with David Jiang.
was selected by Zhang Che as the protagonist of "Blind Spot" when he debuted. This starting point is high.
How charming was Dillon back then?
1.83 meters tall and handsome and mighty appearance, just standing still, can become the cover of the magazine at that time.
was also selected as Shaw's "Meat Bomb" and "The First Beautiful Boy in Hong Kong". As Zhang Che's proud disciple,
is even more shocking in his ancient costume.
was the first knight in Hong Kong's martial arts film industry at that time.
He has portrayed many classic roles, such as Wu Song, Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang, Ma Xinyi...
It can be said that martial arts movie lovers watched Ti Lung back then. To what extent can
become popular?
Hong Kong was in the golden age of martial arts movies in the 60s and 70s, and Ti Lung was the prince of martial arts.
The martial arts film of the 70s is undoubtedly the best-selling Gu Long, and Gu Long loves Ti Long the most.
thinks Ti Lung is the most suitable actor to play Gu Long movies.
He and his excellent partner Jiang David starred in "The End of the World and Moon Knife", which is still a generation of ancient dragon classics.
and in 10 years, won the Hong Kong awards. At that time,
could also arrogantly allocate one hundred thousand remuneration to , and the money was deducted from his own remuneration to give another actor in the same group. This person
is the Wuma who was still holding 20,000 pieces.
And when Ti Lung was popular, Jackie Chan was just an unknown person.
Ti Lung met Jackie Chan when he was filming "The Pirate", and Jackie Chan was still acting as a stand-in.
Once when he was filming in the sea, Jackie Chan was seasick. He secretly told Ti Long, but he didn't dare to tell the director.
was concerned, and Dillon told the director.
Jackie Chan was very grateful to him and worshipped him as an "old bean" at that time. (The meaning of dad).
Gu Long was a frequent visitor in Shaw Brothers movies at that time, Jackie Chan often went to see Gu Long through Ti Long.
Gu Long was born to be addicted to alcohol like his life, Jackie Chan wantedGood script, often go to drink with him.
But Gu Long didn't like Jackie Chan's big nose and small eyes. After Jackie Chan was later signed by director Luo Wei, he was taken to see Gu Long.
At the wine table, Jackie Chan boldly asked to make an ancient dragon novel movie.
But Gu Long said coldly in front of Jackie Chan:
"Why would I write this script for him? If I want to write it, I have to find a nice one! The hero of my novel was shot for Ti Long and David Jiang. "
Jackie Chan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. He hid in the bathroom alone, then hugged David Jiang and cried into tears.
However, Gu Long gave Ti Lung face. With the help of Ti Lung, Jackie Chan starred in Gu Long's "Sword Flower Misty Jiangnan".
However, the response was mediocre. It seems that Jackie Chan is really not suitable for acting in ancient martial arts dramas.
Later, as long as Ti Lung and Jackie Chan's movies are released together, Ti Lung will definitely crush Jackie Chan.
It is said that Jackie Chan ran up in front of Ti Lung and joked aggrievedly: "Dad, I call you Dad, don't hit my film anymore."
did not expect the filming of "Drunken Fist 2" to start, Ti Lung starred in Huang Qiying, really acting Once Jackie Chan's father.
But everything changes faster than Dillon expected.
One day, Dillon suddenly found something was wrong.
The big producer who used to invite him to dinner in the past did not answer his phone.
Every time he finds a person, that person is always absent, and he always feels that those people are deliberately avoiding him.
It turned out that in the 1980s, TV shows became more and more popular, the Shaw Brothers declined day by day, and traditional martial arts movies plummeted.
Dillon is in an embarrassing situation with nothing to film, a bit of a heroic twilight feeling.
seems to be overnight, nothing. Jackie Chan gradually opened his own era of kung fu comedy.
that "Laodou" was also changed to "Brother Dragon".

"I used to be so red? How come I suddenly became a plague that everyone can't avoid?"
Dillon described his situation like this. All the directors and producers who
rushed to find him to make films disappeared.
Dillon, who was begging for help, was ignored by love, and even fell into serious self-doubt. When
was forty years old, Shaw, who had dedicated half of his youth, gave him a letter of dismissal.
said: "Thank you for your achievements for the company!"
Just when life was the most confused, my friend Wu Ma awakened the dreamer:
"Ti Long, you help people, ask you for help, big deal The same. Remember-don't ask for someone."
This made Dillon, who had been anxious, calmed down. After
left Shaw Brothers, Dillon finally waited for his first film "The Legend of Wesley."
After watching Wu Yusen, he caught the heroic temperament of him at a glance.
strongly invited him to play Song Zihao, the down-and-out elder brother of "The True Colors of a Hero".
At that time, Wu Yusen and Tsui Hark thought about it for a long time, and felt that Dillon, who had smashed the Hong Kong film scene back then, was completely out of action. Isn't
a true portrayal of Song Zihao after he was released from prison?
Di Long = Song Zihao.
"The True Colors of a Hero" was released in 1986, which shocked Hong Kong and swept Asia.
became the box office champion of Hong Kong movies that year and won the Best Picture Award.
has created a new era of Hong Kong film.
Dillon also won the actor with this film.
It can be said that with this film, the down-and-out hero turned over in one fell swoop. The classic line
, "I haven't been a big brother for many years", expresses all his heartache.
Dillon later recalled that he figured out this sentence for a long time. He said that there were three meanings:
, one was insecure status and identity crisis;
, two was not fulfilling the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother;
, three was hoping to stand up.
can be said that when he thinks, every layer corresponds to his true state of mind.
The sentencehas become a label of his life.
Dillon has his own chivalrous spirit.
Regardless of being a person and doing things, he always helps others with righteousness.
2018 "The True Colors of Heroes" was remake.
Dillon was asked in the interview if he would like to remake.
Ti Lung said that he didn't want to fry cold rice, so he didn't want to shoot again after taking pictures.
also said with emotion: "Things are not humans, where do you go to find a Leslie Cheung for me?"
Xu Ke once said: "On the rivers and lakes, what is a hero? If you want to count heroes, Ti Lung is definitely one."
This "hero" has not been a big brother for many years, but there will still be his legend in the world.
