Hong Kong Film: How chaotic is Leung Ka Fai's acting career?

preached in the text. ——Tang Lei


Thousand-faced actor. The name

does have enough prestige.

but if you look closely. What

hides under it are messy footsteps and play paths.

is a bit taller and shorter.

alone for that matter.

Liang Jiahui is also the only one in the film industry.

But what kind of movies did he make?

We can first pick out those well-known and quality movies. For example,

generally includes " Hearing the Politics with Curtains ", " Fire Dragon ", " Prison Situation ", " Love in Other Towns Season ", " Lover ", "New Dragon Inn", " Chess King" ", " East Evil and West Poison ", " Black Gold ", " Gua Sha ", " Song of Everlasting Regret ", " Dragon City Years ", "Following", " My Teacher Career " , "October Siege", " Chills " and "Take Tiger Mountain" and other films. There may be a certain number of omissions in the list of

, ​​but it should basically include his more quality works. The genres in

range from history, prison, family, overseas Chinese, to rivers and lakes, local, martial arts, politicians, exotic, crime, suspense, action, police and bandits and new editions of red themes.

ignores the subject matter and roles, and the scope of the drama is really staggering.

But there are more than 120 works by Tony Leung Ka Fai.

Many people like to say that Andy Lau and make bad movies. In fact, in contrast, Tony Leung Ka Fai may be the one who doesn't cherish feathers the most in the film industry. In other works of

, ​​there is no need to explore the subject matter at all.

just need to look at the title to know the quality.

can be described as a "bad movie" award.

Some people may say that Tony Leung Ka Fai will be banned if he takes the best actor.

Everyone has to survive, so he has to make a lot of "bad movies" to make ends meet.

But these inexplicable films of his are not works from the 1980s, but mainly focus on the 1990s.

includes such titles as "Ghost Officer", " My Wife Is Not a Human ", "Qi Mom Is Not Easy to Do", " Wong Fei Hung's Smile Legend ", and "92 Black Rose vs Black Rose ", "Rose Rose Me" "Love You", " Neuroknife and Flying Tmall ", " Supreme Thirty-Six Strategies to Steal the Sky and Change the Sun ", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Wild and Dead Love", "One Thousand and One" The Dreamer of the Night" and "The Secret Life of Cixi".

Some people may say that "92 Black Rose vs Black Rose" won the best actor, "Nerve Knife and Flying Tmall", "Supreme Thirty-Six Strategies: Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Big names get together, why don't you tell others?

In fact, the movie emperor can't stamp the quality of the movie.

In addition, even if the Hong Kong Film Awards awards the best director, best screenwriter and best film to movies like "92 Black Rose vs Black Rose" or "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the movie The essence of it is still a spoof by the filmmakers, and nothing of value has survived except for commercial box office and spoof movies.

And these films appeared at the same time as Tony Leung Ka Fai's high-quality masterpieces at the peak of his career.

If you still don't understand, just pick two actors from the same period and compare them.

such as Tony Leung .

He participated in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", including " Yafei and Yaki ", "Genuine Wei Xiaobao's Fulfillment of the Gospel Girl", and " Dragon Gambler's Flag to Win " and other nonsensical things Funny movies, and even a few Jianghu movies that follow suit.

But in the 1990s, he was more of "Blood on the Street", " Hot Detective ", " Chongqing Forest ", "Evil in the East", "Rogue Doctor", "z20""Z Tricycle Man ", "Breakthrough", "Dark Flower", "Flowers on the Sea" and "In the Mood for Love" and other types of "serious" movies.

And the "spoof" type of movies, one is not as dense as Tony Leung Ka Fai, and the other is completely extinct after 1994.

is another example of Zhou Xingchi .

He became famous for his nonsensical "Gambling Saint", and the so-called "nonsensical" is actually a fine line from the concept of spoofing.

has been doing subtraction all the way since then, and even marked by " Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang " in 1993, it was funny and transformed all the way, until " The King of Comedy " successfully transformed, with few works but almost all of them. Classic, and even more epoch-making works like "Kung Fu".

In other words, almost any actor in the Hong Kong film industry will not have such an exaggerated "polarization" phenomenon.

And Tony Leung Ka Fai is still acting in "Extinct Iron King" even in the new century.

entered the 1910s and is still performing " Legend of the Gods ", " Chasing the Dragon 2" and " Chasing the Tiger and Capture the Dragon ", although there have been two "Cold War" and one "Outwit" in this decade. Tiger Mountain" comes to the bottom, but in contrast, the proportion of bad films is too high. More peculiar roles played by

and friendship will not be repeated here.

In fact, this problem has a great impact on his star path, but many fans don't think so.

mentioned before that Tony Leung has an excellent starting point and star fortune, but because of the choice of acting, the polishing of his acting skills, and even the practice of not cherishing his feathers, he has not been able to eventually grow into a giant actor in the film industry. Many fans express objection.

Their reasons are actually the same as the above. Movies such as "Nerve Knife and Flying Tmall", "The Thirty-Six Strategies of the Supreme Being", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" include not only Liang Jiahui, but also films such as Maggie Cheung , Brigitte Lin , Wang Zuxian , Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung , Tony Leung and other big-name actors participated.

But they couldn't see the other side. Which actor's work has the proportion of spoof movies as high as that of Tony Leung Ka Fai?

also has another problem. These people are all protagonist actors, and there will be a tailor-made movie every three or five years.

has a word for this situation that is very appropriate, one trade off the other. What impression will

viewers leave?

This problem is of course, in fact, Aaron Kwok also has it.

His types of films are also very complicated, but unlike Tony Leung Ka Fai, Aaron Kwok never accepts the type of "looks like bad films".

, ​​such as "My Wife Is Not a Human", "Mother Qi's Not Easy to Do", "Once Upon a Time with Laughs", as well as "92 Black Rose vs Black Rose", "Rose Rose I Love You", and "Wild Rose" mentioned above. Life and Death", "The Dreamer of One Thousand and One Nights" and "The Secret Life of Cixi".

These scripts are estimated to be handed over to Aaron Kwok's agent, and they will return the same way immediately.

Therefore, Aaron Kwok took the road of miscellaneous dramas, but instead raised the banner of quality. In

, ​​the continuous improvement of acting skills is one of them, but the factor of focusing on the quality of the script cannot be ignored.

's so-called "rotten" script is first of all inappropriate in terms of plot logic, which will lead to inexplicable character logic. How much nutrition can a performance based on this provide for the actors? Where can it be really wonderful?

As for "bad films are not bad characters". The truth of

is of course true, because after performing this thing, after reaching a certain level, it is actually very difficult to "rotten", unless you don't care, or the theme and role difficulty completely exceeds the actor limit.

But the quality of the work and the ability to perform are actually equally important.

The higher the proportion of good quality movies in the actor's work, the higher the ultimate achievement. This is an easy truth.

Of course we're just "after the fact".

Tony Leung's shadow road.

also responded to the words of director Li Hanxiang of , "I want to make you a star, but you run off to be an actor, which is useless!"

Of course Leung Ka Fai's goal, or to be a joker.

and his achievements are already very high.

But if we look back, if his play is not so complicated, he also pays more attention to quality.

with his superb acting ability. Will

take it to the next level?
