Miss Understanding from Top Cinema (Original by topcinema, reproduction is strictly prohibited)
In film and television works, Fa Ge is personable. In private life, Fa Ge is very close to the people. He always helps take selfies with his mobile phone and take selfies with citizens who come across him and take photos with him.
But regarding Fa Ge, there is a very magical photo, which is a photo of Fa Ge holding a child-like Fan Shaohuang. It has been widely circulated on the Internet, and some people doubt the authenticity of this photo.
Finally, Fan Shaohuang, one of the protagonists in the recent photo and now a film and television actor, appeared in public for the first time and responded to the photo.
two words: really.
51-year-old Fan Shaohuang said that this photo was taken when Fa Ge was filming a movie "City Patrol Horse". He went to visit the class and took this photo.
"City Patrol" is an action movie directed by Yu Rentai and starring Chow Yun-fat and Chung Chu-hong. It was released in 1982. It was estimated that the filming took place within the previous year, when Chow Yun-fat was about 27 years old and Fan Shaohuang was about 10 years old.
Therefore, this group photo was taken 40 years ago, and it also inadvertently left behind a precious moment in the film and television industry.
Why did Fan Shaohuang go to the set to take photos with celebrities at such a young age?
Fan Shaohuang said that he was a visiting member at the time, "because my father, Fan Meisheng, was also in this movie."
Fan Shaohuang personally revealed that his father was Fan Meisheng, a famous martial arts actor at that time, and Bruce Lee at the same time. They are called brothers, so Fan Shaohuang is still Bruce Lee's adopted son.
Because of the story triggered by this photo, many netizens suddenly realized -
It turns out that in Fan Shaohuang's masterpiece "The King of Power", the "one-eyed snake" who acted in the same frame as him was played by his father Fan Meisheng. This film features father and son acting together.
As one of the representative action stars in the Hong Kong film and television industry, Fan Shaohuang has a handsome appearance, extraordinary skills, and outstanding temperament. He also has many masterpieces and famous roles.
However, with the decline of Hong Kong action movies and the lack of young action movies, he is no longer a high-profile action star. Now he has gone north to the mainland and filmed online movies and web dramas, which can be regarded as opening up another situation.
For example, in the recent movie "Snow and Ice Roundup", not only did he play the role of a tough-guy detective fighting gangsters, but he also didn't expect to see Fan Shaohuang in police uniform.
However, no matter what happens now, Fan Shaohuang's contribution to Hong Kong action movies is not small. Especially since he was practicing martial arts since he was a child, he insists on fitness and maintains a good condition for filming, which also allows people to see his dedication.
Fan Shaohuang came into contact with the film industry relatively early, because his father Fan Meisheng was a martial arts actor under Shaw Brothers. Another point: he was Bruce Lee's adopted son. He had met many film and television stars, even superstars, early on, and he had been influenced by his eyes and ears since he was a child.
The rugged-looking Fan Meisheng often played roles such as a brash man due to his limited appearance, and he has always been a supporting role in the film.
Unlike his father, Fan Shaohuang is not only handsome in appearance, but also smart since he was a child. In addition, he began to systematically study martial arts at the age of 13, which laid a solid foundation for becoming an action star in the future.
When mentioning Fan Shaohuang, one cannot avoid the aforementioned "The King of Power" which is in the same frame as his father. Back then, he worked together with his father Fan Meisheng (who played the one-eyed snake in the film) to create a character who was extremely powerful, indestructible, and resisted the evil forces of darkness.
In this film, Fan Shaohuang's real kung fu impressed the audience deeply. Although the film was once banned from broadcasting because of its large scale, Fan Shaohuang's name has become popular because of the film.
Xu Zhu, played by Fan Shaohuang, is also considered to be the version closest to the original work in history.
In 1997, TVB launched Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". Fan Shaohuang played the role of monk Xu Zhu in the play. His naive demeanor and unpretentious character were all performed by Fan Shaohuang in a lively, interesting and impressive way. .
There is also "Young Hero Fang Shiyu". Fan Shaohuang plays Hong Xiguan. His handsome appearance and heroic temperament also make many people like him.
After a period of silence, in 2008, the 36-year-old Fan Shaohuang participated in the movie "Ip Man" starring Donnie Yen. As a middle-aged man, he is not only still handsome, but also has a few more years of experience. Once he started playing, He is still the same neat and beautiful Fan Shaohuang.
In the two fierce fighting scenes in the film, Fan Shaohuang and Donnie Yen's fight was very exciting, with their fists touching each other. With his performance in this film, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor at the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards.
However, after the "Ip Man" series, there have been few good works in Hong Kong action movies for many years. Fan Shaohuang, who has not been able to make it to the front line, also wanders among various unpopular works, and even goes to nightclubs to sing and make money through commercial performances.
Fortunately, there are many opportunities in the Mainland now, including online universities and online dramas. This also gives actors like Fan Shaohuang the opportunity to continue shooting his favorite action movies, costumes, police and criminals, as long as it is an action movie that suits him, Fan Shaohuang will do it. Try to seize opportunities.
Now, in addition to filming, he also shows off his wife Jia Xiaochen, who is 10 years younger than him, and his two precious daughters. The daughters also have big eyes and are very similar to him.
Fan Shaohuang, who is now over 50 years old, showed off a photo of himself and Fa Ge from back then. He was filled with emotion and felt that it was a precious and memorable photo.
Therefore, he proposed that he had a wish, which was to take another photo like this with Fa Ge, and then ask Fa Ge to sign the photo.
However, what is outrageous is that Fan Shaohuang also hopes that Brother Fa can hold him and take another photo!
Faced with this "excessive" request, some netizens first posted a photo to satisfy Fan Shaohuang.
Chow Yun-fat, who is about to turn 70, is holding Fan Shaohuang, who is already over 50 years old. This scene is unthinkable. After all, Fa Ge is an old man now and his body is very thin. Fan Shaohuang is not afraid of touching Fa Ge's waist.
suggested that if there is still a chance to take a photo, instead of letting Fa Ge hold Fan Shaohuang, Fan Shaohuang should take a photo holding Fa Ge!
That way, it will have a more contrasting sense of time!
Time is always cruel. The handsome young men and boys back then are now old people and middle-aged men. However, they are self-disciplined and still active in the highly competitive film and television industry, which is enough to be admired.
If you have the chance, please take another photo together so that this wonderful fate in the film and television industry can continue.
Do you think it would be better for Brother Fa to continue holding Fan Shaohuang when taking a group photo again? Or is it better for Fan Shaohuang to hold Fa Ge?
