It is reported that Chen Musheng was found to be suffering from advanced nasopharyngeal cancer during the filming of the film "Anger", so he didn't have the energy to make the film later. So far, Hong Kong films have lost another excellent director. Looking back at Chen Musheng's life, it can be described as a magnificent one. Four people have the greatest influence on him.
loves Bruce Lee the most, but was forced to make "Jing Wu Men"
Chen Musheng liked watching movies very much before entering the industry as a young man, and preferred action movies, and Bruce Lee had the greatest influence on him. Chen Musheng liked Bruce Lee's "Jing Wu Men" the most. He was very happy after reading it. Not only did he imitate Bruce Lee's actions when he went home, he would also learn how Bruce Lee barked.
may be fate. After Chen Musheng entered the industry, he moved to Asia Television and produced two TV series, "Hong Xiguan" and "Jing Wu Men". But Chen Musheng himself said that the production of "Jing Wu Men" had nothing to do with his liking for Bruce Lee. In fact, she did not want to shoot because he liked Bruce Lee too much and did not want to destroy the classics. But there was no way. ATV signed Donnie Yen , and the company decided to shoot "Jing Wu Men". He had no choice but to accept this job. It can be said that Bruce Lee made Chen Musheng fall in love with movies, and he also entered the industry, who was not a professional.
lead the way Wang Tianlin and Du Qifeng , starting from "Snow Mountain Flying Fox"
, like many Hong Kong artists, Chen Musheng first entered the line through the Hong Kong Radio Television Station, and soon he began to serve as Johnnie To's assistant director. Many introductions have written that "If there is love in the sky" is Chen Musheng's first time as a director, but it is actually wrong.
Chen Musheng learned a lot in wireless and Du Qifeng, and he was also more concerned by the company's executives. In 1985, TVB started filming "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", starring Lu Liangwei, Zeng Huaqian, and Zeng Jiang, Zhao Yazhi, Xie Xian and other actors, starlight Yiyi, The lineup is strong. Wang Jing’s father, Wang Tianlin, is the producer, and Wang Tianlin also supports the younger generations, letting Chen Musheng and Du Qifeng serve as directors.
didn’t expect to shoot the highlight of the ending as soon as he became a director. It was also the most expensive scene in the whole show. In order to simulate the snow scene, the entire Shaw Mountain was sprayed white, which was a big test for Chen Musheng. After he successfully completed it, this was Chen Musheng's first time as a director.
In 1990, Du Qifeng had left wireless, and Chen Musheng still followed him. At that time Huang Baiming, Qi Jiazhen and Du Qifeng jointly formed a company called Baijiafeng, but Huang Baiming had Yonggao and Dongfang busy at that time. So there is no time to take care of it, Bai Jiafeng is actually Du Qifeng presiding over the work, and there is "If there is love in the sky".
This movie was produced by the late directors Lin Lingdong, Wang Jing, and Du Qifeng. It is obvious that the three major producers wanted to support Chen Musheng. However, there is another significance in "If there is love in the sky", that is, Wang Tianlin was about to retire at the time. The movie is also a retirement gift dedicated to Wang Tianlin.
It is worth mentioning that the theme of "Heavenly Love" was actually set by Chen Musheng. He liked to play motorcycles at that time, and there was a team called Huadi in the team he was playing with. He had very good car skills, so Andy Lau The name in the movie is also Huadi. The great success of "Heavenly Love" also made Chen Musheng's fame, and Du Qifeng was the leader of Chen Musheng. It's just that despite Du Qifeng's help at the time, Chen Musheng still didn't make up his mind to leave the TV station. He really liked filming TV series and worried that he could not make a movie well. After all, the last two films of "Heavenly Love" were not as successful as the first one.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of "If there is love" Andy Lau rode a motorcycle Wu Qianlian to the church, hurriedly on the highway, blood dripping from his nostrils, and blowing on Wu Qianlian's body. In order to have such an effect during the filming of this scene, Andy Lau's nostrils were stuffed with a big blood bag. Although Andy Lau was holding back very hard, he thought it was worth it.
Good boss He Guanchang, strengthen Chen Musheng’s confidence in making movies
"Tian Ruo You Qing 2 lost. In 1996, Chen Musheng shot "The Stormtrooper Rage on the Street" and fought a beautiful turnaround. After the film’s success, Jiahe’s boss, He Guanchang, told Chen Musheng that you have filmed all kinds of subjects, but now it seems that fashion action movies are your best choice. Stop making other types of movies.
Chen Musheng listened to He Guanchang's words, and since then he has determined his own type and style, and has completely got rid of television and concentrated on making movies. It can be said that He Guanchang helped him determine the direction of the director and gave him the opportunity. After "The Stormtrooper", he arranged for Chen Musheng to be the director of "Who Am I", cooperating with Jackie Chan , and officially opened his action movie Director career.
It’s just that Chen Musheng did not work for Jiahe all the time. After "Who Am I", he filmed "Special Police New Human" and cooperated with TVB. When it came to "Baby Project", it was a film cast by Huayi Brothers. It keeps changing, but the genre is indeed always a fashion action movie.
From Bruce Lee, Wang Tianlin, Du Qifeng to He Guanchang, Chen Musheng can have such high achievements in the field of film, and these four enlighteners, teachers, and guides are indispensable. Of course, there are also many close partners, such as Louis Koo, who has collaborated most with him. The two of them also have a "War of Contradictions" that has not been released, and "Anger" once again cooperated with Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse , which became his posthumous work. Director Chen Musheng went all the way!
