On September 18, it was shockingly reported that the well-known voice actor Shi Banyu passed away on the Mid-Autumn Festival at the age of 66. When the bad news came, netizens expressed their condolences.

Shi Banyu is a drama star in the dubbing industry. Although he is not as well-known as the actors in front of the stage, his superb skills in voice performance and the expression of the character's emotions are enough to show a "drama talent" level of professional expression. .

As Stephen Chow’s royal dubbing, Shi Banyu’s voice can be called a classic. Beginning in 1989, Shi Banyu served as Stephen Chow's voice in the movie "The Gambler". Later, he dubbed Stephen Chow in many of his works. His voice complemented Stephen Chow's performance and entered thousands of households together.

Stephen Chow classic performance, Shi Banyu just right dubbing, making the lines widely circulated. In the part "There was once a sincere love in front of me, but I didn't cherish it..." in "Westward Journey", Shi Banyu perfectly blended the character's sincerity and a hint of hypocrisy, and added a little crying, Let this classic line be engraved in everyone's mind, and it will still be fresh in our minds after many years.

In addition to dubbing Stephen Chow, Shi Banyu also dubbed Tony Leung , Jordan Chan , Zhang Yaoyang and others. In "The Legend of the White Snake", Shi Banyu even dubbed 16 characters, showing professionalism and changeability. His voice control ability is admirable.

It is reported that Shi Banyu passed away due to sudden myocardial infarction and respiratory arrest. He had dubbed more than 300 classic works in his life, and Stephen Chow also wrote in memory.

In addition to Shi Banyu, on September 15, many parties confirmed that the well-known movie star Xu Shaoqiang passed away due to illness at the age of 73. Xu Shaoqiang also has a relationship with Stephen Chow.

Xu Shaoqiang attracted attention from the outside world for his early appearances in martial arts films. For example, in 1979, he starred in "The Transformation of the Silkworm", which became a hit. However, because of Xu Shaoqiang's dissolute and casual personality in his early years, he got into a lot of trouble, and his career also went downhill.

When he was at a low point in his life, Stephen Chow pulled him in. At Stephen Chow's invitation, Xu Shaoqiang starred in the villain "Zhao Wou-Ki" in "The Warriors", and his superb performance quickly made him famous.

It is said that the reason why Stephen Chow gave him this opportunity was because when Stephen Chow was not famous, Xu Shaoqiang helped Stephen Chow once.

Later, Xu Shaoqiang played the role of Dryad Lao Lao in the new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and played the villain Ding Chunqiu in "Tian Long Ba Bu: Tian Shan Tong Lao", which left a deep impression on people.

Xu Shaoqiang died of esophageal cancer at the beginning of the month, but the news of his death came out recently. Xiao Xu Shaoqiang’s 30-year-old third wife also passed away shortly after Xu Shaoqiang’s death, leaving behind a 19-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son. .

On September 9th, the film and television industry lost two senior actors with both virtue and art, namely Hong Kong's Li Haisheng and mainland's Jiang Gengchen.

They may have never met, but they both died on the same day at the age of 83, just like a coincidence of fate.

Li Haisheng's name is closely connected with Hong Kong Kung Fu movies. As Ip Man's disciple, Li Haisheng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very good at kung fu. In 1974, Li Haisheng was introduced to the film and television industry by his fellow junior fellow student Ti Lung, and since then he has devoted his life to action films.

He is not only an action actor in many classic movies, but also serves as a martial arts instructor. The movies he participated in include Jackie Chan's "Plan A", and his image as pirate Li Chujiu is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Li Haisheng’s kung fu amazed his peers. Sammo Hung once said frankly that the two people he admired and feared the most in his life were Bruce Lee and Li Haisheng. Sammo Hung and Li Haisheng used to compete in martial arts together when they were young, but Li Haisheng's real kung fu made him intimidated and full of awe.

Although famous for his martial arts, Li Haisheng also participated in many TV series in his later years, and contributed his final performance to the role of security guard "Uncle Shen" in the TVB sitcom "Love·Homecoming Happy Express".

Regrettably, although Li Haisheng retired from TVB at the end of last year and planned to enjoy his old age, he was unable to enjoy this peaceful time and passed away on September 9, 2024 due to bacterial infection. Li Haisheng's departure marks the end of an era of kung fu movies.

Unlike Li Haisheng, Jiang Gengchen’s career has always been low-key and restrained. Jiang Gengchen, born in 1941, entered the acting career after being admitted to the Beijing Film Actors Troupe at the age of 16, which lasted for decades.

In 1978, Jiang Gengchen made his debut in the movie "Boiling Mountains". Then in 1980, he collaborated with Liu Xiaoqing and participated in China's first action film "The Mysterious Big Buddha". The upright police detective he played left a deep impression on the audience.

Jiang Gengchen is not keen on chasing the position of the protagonist. He prefers to work quietly behind the scenes and create supporting roles. His acting skills are delicate and his character portrayal is precise. His role as Zhou Yu in the large-scale TV series "Zhuge Liang" left a deep impression on the audience.

After 2000, Jiang Gengchen almost completely retired and lived a low-key life, rarely appearing in the public eye. Even so, his characters and voices left an indelible impression on audiences.

In this era where fast food culture is prevalent and popular stars dominate the screen, the deaths of Li Haisheng and Jiang Gengchen make people miss the era based on strength. The two veteran actors have contributed countless classic moments to the film and television industry. Their acting skills are superb and they have selfless dedication to art, which is increasingly rare in the current entertainment industry.

With the departure of Li Haisheng, Jiang Gengchen, Xu Shaoqiang, Shi Banyu and others, movie fans not only lost four old actors, but also lost the last trace of nostalgia for that classic film and television era. Their performances and works will last forever in film history and will always be engraved in the hearts of the audience.
