html Another superstar in the entertainment industry fell in July. Cheng Peipei, a classic supporting role in Stephen Chow's movies and a generational hit girl, passed away.
Zheng Peipei’s daughter wrote that her mother was a strong, caring, generous and selfless mother. Until the end of her life, she was still thinking about her children.
Indeed, Zheng Peipei’s death is somewhat surprising. In the public’s mind, she was once a strong and skilled beating girl.
Among the many characters she has created, "Mrs. Hua" is the most impressive. In 1993, she collaborated with Stephen Chow and Gong Li and starred in the comedy movie "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance".
Under the interpretation of Cheng Peipei, the image of "Mrs. Hua" who is both good and evil, laughing and scolding is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Stephen Chow also won the Hong Kong box office championship with this film.
When she appeared in this movie, she was almost fifty years old. Although she was not young, her movements were still crisp and clear due to her background in beating women in her early years, which was highly praised.
But as time went by, Zheng Peipei’s body began to decline. In 2019, she was diagnosed with “corticobasal degeneration”, and her symptoms were very similar to Parkinson’s disease.
She spent most of the last time of her life in a wheelchair. Although she was accompanied by her children, she still could not alleviate the pain of the disease.
I hope there will be no more pain in heaven and Ms. Zheng Peipei will have a good life.
Zheng Peipei is considered a classic supporting actress in Stephen Chow's movies, and there is also a supporting actor who is also remembered in memory - Ng Meng-tat.
Uncle Da and Stephen Chow have been working together for a long time, and their friendship is deeper.
Since the two collaborated on the TV series "The Great Hero" in 1989, Ng Mang-tat and Stephen Chow's perfect cooperation has set a precedent for nonsensical movies.
The two of them can be regarded as a pair that achieve each other. Without Stephen Chow's nonsensical style, there would be no golden supporting role of Ng Mang-tat. Without Ng Mang-tat's green foil, it would be difficult to achieve Stephen Chow's movie kingdom.
Uncle Da has always been willing to play a supporting role in front of the screen. In life, he is also relatively low-key. He has been married twice in his life and has five daughters. For the sake of his children, he has always insisted on filming to earn money.
In 2000, Ng Man-tat was given a "warning" by a doctor due to diabetes. In 2014, he suffered a heart attack due to high-intensity filming all year round and rushed to the doctor. At that time, it was detected that the heart failure was caused by a viral infection, and he was directly admitted to the ICU.
A year later, Uncle Da himself felt deeply in poor health and decided to take a break from the entertainment industry. "The Wandering Earth" became the "swan song" of his acting career.
Wu Mengda was diagnosed with cancer in January 2021. He died in the hospital due to liver cancer a month later.
Among Stephen Chow’s supporting roles, there is also Huang Yishan.
He is Hua Wen, the son of Taishi Hua in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", and also the Tongzhi Emperor in "Nine Grades of Sesame Officials". Huang Yishan is still fresh in people's memory because of his unique appearance.
In the play, he is a small character who brings joy to people, but outside the play, he is a good husband and father with a father's love.
Huang Yishan married his beloved wife in 1995. They gave birth to two sons after their marriage. Unfortunately, one of the sons suffered from a rare congenital disease, resulting in incomplete brain protein development.
However, the couple has not given up on treating their son for many years. Huang Yishan is even more crazy about taking roles, and even filmed 40 online movies in one year.
Recently, he opened his second foot washing shop in Shenzhen. He not only promoted it in person, but also carried a foot washing basin to explain. He is a hands-on boss.
When talking about "Nine Levels of Sesame Official", we have to talk about another golden supporting role, Yuan Qiongdan.
She is also the royal "harlequin" in Stephen Chow's movies, and the title of "Sister Pomegranate" has almost become Yuan Qiongdan's golden signature in the entertainment industry.
Although she also appeared in many modern dramas in the later period, there was no drama that could surpass the status of "Sister Pomegranate" and make the audience remember her again.
Now, she has focused her work on short videos and selling goods. You can often see videos of various delicacies and Hong Kong travel guides shared by her in a book.
In February this year, the 60-year-old was named a princess by the Philippines. She jokingly said that with this title, her husband, the "King of Glass", would kneel down to her.
I have to admit that Yuan Qiongdan’s life today is interesting and colorful.
There is another golden supporting role achieved by Stephen Chow - Huang Yifei.
He is 20 years older than Stephen Chow and entered the industry earlier than Stephen Chow. In the early days, Stephen Chow would call him "Brother Fei".
But the two of them also had an unpleasant experience.
When filming "Shaolin Soccer", there was a scene that required Stephen Chow to "headshot" him ten times in a row, which made Huang Yifei have a strong opinion of Stephen Chow, thinking that the star was deliberately making things difficult and disrespecting his predecessors.
After that, Huang Yifei once criticized Zhou Xingchi for being rude in public, and the relationship between the two also dropped to a freezing point, and there was no cooperation anymore.
But later, Huang Yifei also figured it out and reversed his evaluation of Stephen Chow, calling him an artistic genius.
It’s a pity that since 2008, the 66-year-old Huang Yifei’s physical condition has become increasingly poor, and he can no longer perform high-intensity filming and gradually fades out of the screen.
After living a semi-retired life, he gained a lot of weight and his appearance was very different from before.
Now at the age of 77, he still makes guest appearances in some online dramas, but his big belly and fat body make it difficult for him to move. I hope the old man can take care of his health and not overwork himself.
Among Stephen Chow's supporting roles, there is also a hidden billionaire - Tang Siu Chun.
Deng Zhaozun has filmed works such as Stephen Chow's "Domestic Ling Ling Qi" and "Various Star King". In terms of appearance, he is the most handsome among prime supporting actors.
He is also one of the best in terms of net worth.
Tang Siu-chun is the son of the famous Hong Kong Cantonese opera artist Tang Yongxiang. He inherited his father's inheritance of 420 million when he was 30 years old. After his mother Hong Jinmei passed away in 2019, he inherited another 1.5 billion inheritance.
Therefore, he has the capital to "squander".
He dated three girlfriends at the same time, and bought a house for the three of them in the same community. Each of them stayed with him 2 days a week, and he also allowed these three girlfriends to "coexist peacefully".
It is said that his monthly household income exceeds 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which shows that his family is rich.
However, some people commented that he lived a "transparent" life. He had a net worth of over 100 million but had no heirs in his life. He did not invest in the inherited property and used it all for his own food, drink and fun. He was said to be a prodigal and a prodigal, but it is fair to say that he was "smart". It's much better than those wealthy families who are fighting for family property and making trouble.
Chen Baixiang is also Stephen Chow's supporting role.
In his early years, he became a representative figure in Hong Kong comedy movies with "The Gambling King". Later, he collaborated with Xingye in many movies, from "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance" to "Truant Dragon", and his "mean man" image Deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The golden supporting role in the entertainment industry did not satisfy him. He began to invest in the "shopping mall". He once revealed to the outside world that he had gone bankrupt four times in many years of business.
Fortunately, he has a wife who knows and loves each other. Even four bankruptcies failed to change their determination to love each other and stay together. Although the two of them have never had any children, Chen Baixiang should be satisfied to have such a true love in this life.
Finally, let’s talk about Stephen Chow’s other famous green leaf - Xu Jinjiang.
He is the "Lord Leopard" in "Nine Levels of Sesame Official". He is a straightforward and cute supporting character.
In addition to cooperating with Stephen Chow, Xu Jinjiang has also filmed many film and television works such as Ouyang Feng in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the Golden Retriever Lion King in "Heaven Slaying the Dragon", etc.
But in fact, he is still a literary and artistic person who loves art. He loves painting and sculpture, and has even held his own art exhibition, which has been supported by many stars in the entertainment industry.
Weng Hong personally helped him host it. Zhang Jizhong, Huang Qiusheng and others were guests of this art exhibition. One of his calligraphy and paintings could fetch a high price of 800,000 yuan, which also shows Xu Jinjiang's artistic attainments.
Now at the age of 62, he is still healthy and energetic, especially the deep father-son relationship with his son is enviable. The father and son still love to travel, ride horses, drink tea and eat meat together, which is a rare blessing in life.
Sure enough, Mr. Xing has too many golden supporting characters under his command. I hope they can all live a healthy and happy life in the second half of their lives.
