When it comes to Hong Kong comedies, many people will first think of Stephen Chow, the "King of Comedy" who was popular in the 1990s and beyond. However, before the rise of Stephen Chow's comedy empire, the name Xu Guanwen was already synonymous with Hong Kong comedy.

As the predecessor of the "King of Comedy", Xu Guanwen, with his unique interpretation style and social insight, not only conquered the laughter of countless audiences, but also deeply painted the spiritual outlook of Hong Kong movies. His films are not only meant to please the audience, but also convey sharp criticism of reality with laughter and a profound sense of social responsibility.

Xu Guanwen is now 82 years old, but he is still active in the entertainment industry. The Emperor's movie "Broken Hell" starring Hui Guanwen , Huang Zihua and Wei Shiya has won word-of-mouth since its release and the box office has reached nearly 100 million.

mentioned that the box office of the film will soon exceed 100 million. Xu Guanwen admitted that his lifelong dream is also to break the record. When he acted in the movie "Modern Bodyguard", he broke his third record, so he wanted to break the fourth record, so he asked Huang Zihua for help, but failed. , and he retired after that. He also agreed with Huang Zihua that they would perform together in the future. Unexpectedly, he had to wait for 32 years.

Xu Guanwen, who plays a Taoist priest in the movie, strongly agrees with the famous line in the movie, "Why worry about when to get off the bus? Why not just enjoy the scenery along the way." He said with a smile that he is already in his 80s after all, and he feels that his time is running out, so it is time to take care of himself. "Broken Hell".

The "breaking hell" in Xu Guanwen's mouth is to do what you like boldly and talk to your relatives if you want to. Although I didn't say "I love you" directly to my wife, I was close to this style and would also praise my children. .

Xu Guanwen told them to be prepared for life and death and not to be sad. "I said that after cremation, scatter the ashes into the sea in Saigon, because I have been fishing there since I was a child, and I turned it into ashes and gave it to them to eat! There is no need to buy a cemetery, those cemeteries are It’s expensive and popular. It costs over a million. Then just go to Saigon and look at the sea to mourn me!”

Xu Guanwen said that although his wife did not agree with scattering his ashes at sea in the future, he felt that the ashes could be made into ornaments like in movies and TV dramas. For example, Xu Guanjie also placed Xu Guanying's ashes in the back garden, where he could worship at any time. sacrifice.

Earlier this month, Xu Guanwen and Huang Zihua were interviewed by Gu Dezhao. When they shared the new film "Broken Hell", they talked about the topic of death. Huang Zihua said that if he went to the hospital to read the report, he would be very scared, but he would have a glass of wine like this (leave) That’s fine, I can honestly say that after waking up every day, I think about enjoying and being grateful for this world.

html The 282-year-old Xu Guanwen is a bit "afraid of death". He said that the older he gets, the more afraid he is of death. The reason for his fear is that he has only now seen how fun life can be. Technology has been advancing. There is news every day. When you turn on your mobile phone, there are many new things. You can also go to Mars to have tea in the future.

As we all know, the four brothers Hui Guanwen are all wizards in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. The third brother Hui Guanying became popular with "Mr. Zombie". He died of a heart attack at home in 2011. The time of death was the same as "Master" Lin Zhengying on November 8. day. Hui Guanying's last wish was to scatter his ashes into the sea, and his family eventually complied with his wish.

Xu Guanwen's film career can be said to be a road of struggle from obscurity to fame. He did not enter the entertainment industry smoothly at the beginning. Xu Guanwen's life in his early years was not satisfactory.When he was young, he studied sociology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. During this period, he also worked part-time as an advertising planner, captain of the debate team, and other jobs. He was busy and hard-working.

It was not until 1971 that he became famous through the TV show "Double Star Announcement" starring in the TV show "Double Star Announcement" with his brother Xu Guanjie, and his journey in the entertainment industry truly began. At that time, Xu Guanwen did not completely think that he was suitable for acting. Even when he received an invitation from director Li Hanxiang , he refused to play the role of a bandit leader, saying bluntly, "I want to play a handsome guy." However, this persistence eventually made him a member that cannot be ignored in the Hong Kong film industry.

Xu Guanwen's film career did not happen overnight. His first works were mainly romantic films, but these films did not satisfy him completely. It wasn't until he stepped into the field of directing that he truly found his own direction. In 1974, Xu Guanwen's directorial debut "鬼马双星" came out. This film had a unique style, a relaxed and ironic plot, and successfully made the audience laugh. It also marked his comprehensive transformation from actor to director.

Xu Guanwen's comedy style is highly personal and often in sharp contrast to other Hong Kong comedians. Different from the witty, exaggerated and fantasy-filled humor of Stephen Chow , Xu Guanwen is better at showing humor in a calm and serious way.

Xu Guanwen's comedy is not only an important part of Hong Kong film history, but also an important representative of Hong Kong film culture. In the golden age of Hong Kong movies, Hui Guanwen's works almost represented the highest level of local comedy in Hong Kong.

And his creative style also greatly influenced the subsequent generation of comedians and directors, including Stephen Chow, Ning Hao and others. Zhou Xingchi's tribute to Xu Guanwen's style in "The Great Star" and Ning Hao's reference in "Crazy Racing" are enough to prove Xu Guanwen's status as the "originator" of Hong Kong comedies.

However, Xu Guanwen is not an actor who relies on a single joke. His comedy works have a strong sense of the times and social nature, and there are profound philosophical thoughts hidden behind the superficial light humor. This creative method that combines humor and social observation is one of the reasons why Xu Guanwen has become a "comedy master" in the history of Hong Kong films.

Although Xu Guanwen gradually faded from the screen after the 1990s, his contribution to Hong Kong films, especially comedy films, still has a profound impact. In 1991, his dialogue with Stephen Chow in "The Big Banquet" was regarded as the handover ceremony of the "King of Comedy", marking the end of one era and the beginning of another.

Although Stephen Chow's film style gradually turned to deconstruction and satire, Xu Guanwen's concern for Hong Kong society and his depiction of various aspects of the market have always remained in the memory of the audience.

Now, Xu Guanwen has settled his funeral arrangements. However, Xu Guanwen's wife Zheng Jieying disagrees. The two have been married for 50 years and have a pair of children. They are also married and have children. The three generations are living happily together, so he should enjoy his old age and take more photos. For some comedies, children will take care of things in the future.
