Today I suddenly think of a Hong Kong and Taiwan singer I particularly like. He is one of the most popular singers in my parents' time. My mother is a die-hard fan of his. I have listened to his songs since I was a child. Fourth, there are three elder brothers above who are also great people. When it comes to this, everyone should know who he is. He is - Xu Guanjie.
Speaking of him, some friends may not be familiar with him. He made comedies of the Xu brothers in the 1970s and 1980s, but you must have seen the version of "The Swordsman" directed by Tsui Hark, in this film In the play, Xu Guanjie played Linghu Chong, especially famous for Huang Zhan's lyrics and composer, "A Laugh in the Sea", which was sung by Xu Guanjie in the first edition, and later became Huang Zhan Luo Dayou sing. Why did Xu Guanjie sing this song? Because Xu Guanjie’s position in the Hong Kong music scene at that time was supreme, we now listen to Cantonese songs. Many people recall that Leslie Cheung sang well, Jacky Cheung sang well, Alan Tam sang well before, and then Xu Guanjie and Luo Wen. At that time, Cantonese songs were not available in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s. It was a bit similar to the current duo, lower and vulgar. At that time, the mainstream in Hong Kong belonged to this very rich person. People played British jazz, almost He also sang Mandarin songs, the old Shanghai fan, the bottom sang Cantonese songs, but Xu Guanjie used his personal strength to form bands and so on, and carried forward Cantonese songs, and he turned many things in Cantonese songs into life. A feeling, he has a song called "Silence is Golden". Many people wondered, saying that this was not sung by Leslie Cheung. No, it was actually Leslie Cheung's cover of Xu Guanjie. Xu Guanjie first sang "Silence is Golden". At that time, this song, It is very popular in Southeast Asia, so Xu Guanjie was the absolute big brother in the music world.
At that time, Xu Guanjie’s eldest brother, Xu Guanwen, brought Xu Guanjie over to act. As a result, Xu Guanjie showed a lot of comedy talents that other people could not imagine. He not only interprets the roles in "Half a Catty" and "Modern Sky", but now has a movie. The Hong Kong comedy that is often shown on the movie channel is produced by Huang Baiming. It is called "Happy Anniversary in the Flower Field". In this film, he plays Xiaobawang Zhoutong. Everyone finds that Xu Guanjie can not only sing, but this comedy is very well performed. So at that time, Xu Guanjie came, think about being able to sing and his brother's talented screenwriter and director, so the two solid cornerstones of Xu's movie are their brothers.
So the best green leaves have to be said, Xu Guanying, the third of the Xu family’s four Jerry’s, and Xu’s brother four, you have to see that there is a different kind of person, you don’t look like a mother’s. It's ugly, you can't say it's ugly. Just look at this person's life, just look like this. Therefore, Xu Guanying often plays this unlucky, bullied, and useless role in comedy films. There is a second child Xu Guanwu who rarely shows up in the Xu family. This Xu Guanwu's business is mainly to design martial arts movements and be an executive director, but he occasionally shows up. I remember that he played a hotel owner in "Half a Catty", this The character seems to be the only public appearance in the film in my memory.
The four brothers of the Xu family have set off ups and downs in the Hong Kong film industry. I think the biggest contribution is the link between the past and the next. His previous Cantonese films were almost dead in Hong Kong. After the early Hong Kong martial arts films, no film could keep up. So, relying on the comedy movies of the Xu brothers has revitalized the lingering situation of Cantonese movies and brought out the later comedy style. We are now looking at the generations of talented people who have led the way for hundreds of years. Zhou Xingchi’s After the nonsensical comedy film came up, it replaced the comedy style of the Xu brothers. Looking back, it can be seen that Zhou Xingchi’s many nonsensical performance styles are inspired by the Xu family’s comedy style. Now the Xu brothers have retired. Jianghu, Xu Guanjie withdrew from the music scene and moved to Canada in 1992. Although they have faded out of public view, they have left us with valuable wealth.
