There is no star who is unwilling to be the protagonist. If stars want to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, they cannot do without starring in a few works.
But there is one exception. He is Ng Mang-tat who has played supporting roles all his life. So how did Uncle Da become the golden supporting role?
Let the explorer take you to find the answer from Uncle Da’s videos!
The first "God of Cookery"
Stephen Chow has collaborated with Uncle Da in many works. Only in this "God of Cookery" did Uncle Da play a serious villain for the first time.
Chef Zhou, a superb chef, is famous in Hong Kong for his superb skills. After becoming famous, Master Zhou gradually lost his true heart in fame and fortune. Under the inducement of a sinister profiteer played by Uncle Da, Master Zhou auctioned the dishes he made at a high price. , but the food he made lost its proper taste, and he was eventually defeated by his apprentice Tang Niu and lost his position as the God of Cookery.
Master Zhou, who was kicked out and lived on the street, met the help of a young and charming girl when he was down and out. The two invented new dishes. Master Zhou, who finally found his true heart, regained the title of God of Cookery through hard work.
In this movie, Uncle Da is a profiteer who is bad to the core. He uses the utilitarianism of the God of Cookery to lure the God of Cookery into making mistakes, and kicks Master Zhou out after he loses the title of God of Cookery. It can be said that Uncle Da has portrayed the mean image of the capitalist to the core.
The second film "The Gambler"

As the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on it, and A Xing's superb gambling skills were noticed by two gambling kings from different regions. , in order to compete for Ah Xing, the two of them each used their own unique tricks, and eventually he was bought by gambling king Chen Song.
But on the eve of the Gambling King Competition, Hong Guang sent the beauty Qimeng to seduce A Xing. Chen Song saw that A Xing was bewitched by the beauty, so he kidnapped the beauty. A Xing, who was confused by the female sex, was worried about Qimeng. Without his superb gambling skills, he was about to lose to Hong Guang. At this moment, the third uncle came out of Qimeng from Chen Song. Ah Xing recovered his skills and won a great victory.
"The Gambler" is the first movie in which Ng Mang-tat collaborated with Stephen Chow. Although many parts of it are borrowed from Chow Yun-fat "The Gambler", there is no doubt that "The Gambler" is successful in nonsensical comedy. At that time, many movies could not compare with it. It is no wonder that "The Gambler", which was produced with a low cost, could surpass Jackie Chan's movies at the box office.
The third film "Truy School Dragon"
The "Truy School Dragon" series co-produced by Uncle Da and Stephen Chow is also a memory for many people born in the 1980s and 1990s. This film follows Stephen Chow's nonsensical and funny style and has become the brightest in the "Truy School Dragon" series. part of the eye.

Uncle Da has collaborated with Xing Ye in many classic works in his life. Although he is a supporting role in each of them, he also performed the supporting role deeply into the hearts of the people.
Let’s take a look at other films that Uncle Da and Xing Ye have collaborated on.
The fourth part " The Great Scholar Su Qier "

Su Qier, who got the news by chance, quickly went to protect him, and finally defeated Lao Zhao. In the end, Su Qier and Rushuang lived a comfortable life begging the world.
"Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" is not a pure comedy movie. It uses nonsensical comedy techniques to reflect the misery and injustice of society at that time.
The protagonist's indomitable spirit of going against the current also deeply infected the audience. The image of Su's father played by Uncle Da in it was serious and funny, but he also dared to accompany his son to go crazy in women's clothing, which left a deep impression on the audience.
The fifth film "The Deer and the Cauldron"
If you want to say who is best at nonsensical comedies, it has to be Stephen Chow and Ng Meng-tat. They both starred in the movie "The Deer and the Cauldron" together.
Although the image of Wei Xiaobao has been remade in many film and television dramas, the most classic in the hearts of countless viewers is Stephen Chow's version of Wei Xiaobao.
Uncle Da played a eunuch in "The Deer and the Cauldron". As the predecessor of the "fake eunuch" Wei Xiaobao, Uncle Da looked like a master at the beginning. Although he had a lot of laughs, the old eunuch Uncle Da still took Wei Xiaobao with him responsibly.

After struggling for a while, the Supreme Treasure finally put on the golden hoop and transformed back into the heartless Sun Wukong.
In this movie, the existence of Zhu Bajie and Ng Man-tat does not appear as much as in other movies in which the two collaborated. They only appear when the Supreme Treasure is looking for the past life and when the Zixia Fairy is rescued, although there are only a few scenes. , but Uncle Da’s Zhu Bajie still left a deep impression on the audience.

The seventh part " The Tricky Expert "
"The Tricky Expert" is a pure comedy movie, and Uncle Da's role in it is still very important.

But his stoppage aroused Xiao Jin's dissatisfaction, so Xiao Jin invited the prankster A Dong to teach Gu Jing a lesson. After a series of battles, A Dong was defeated by Gu Jing, and Hua Tsai also I live happily with my girlfriend.
In "The Trickster", Uncle Tat plays the father of Andy and Koo Jing. Although he doesn't have many scenes, his concern for his son in his comedy is very eye-catching.
The eighth " The King of Comedy "
"The King of Comedy" can be said to be a film about Stephen Chow's own experience.
Uncle Da plays an undercover policeman and the uncle who manages lunch boxes on the set. Stephen Chow plays Yin Tienchou, a walk-on who is keen on acting but has no acting career. He likes acting very much because he always has himself when performing in a group. He was disliked by the crew for his idea and was eventually fired from the crew.
Yin Tianqiu, who was forced to call it a day, asked Uncle Da, who was in charge of the lunch boxes, for a lunch box, but Uncle Da threw the lunch box on the ground and yelled that he would not eat it even if he gave it to the dog.

Under Yin Tianchou's guidance, Liu Piaopiao finally learned how to act in front of men, and became a popular lady in a nightclub.
During this process, Yin Tianchou and Liu Piaopiao also secretly fell in love, but the identity and financial gap between the two also kept each other away.
Later, Yin Tianchou, who had been despised by others, was appreciated by a popular actress. He thought he was about to get lucky, but he did not expect that his role was temporarily eliminated. The frustrated Yin Tianchou returned to the previous crew and accidentally discovered Uncle Da's undercover identity. Under a strange combination of circumstances, he helped Uncle Da solve the case.
After that, Yin Tianqiu never thought about becoming famous overnight, but continued to stay in his own actor training class.
In the movie "The King of Comedy", although Uncle Da only played the role of an undercover policeman who is fierce and not too polite, his seamless and tacit cooperation with Xingye still brought a lot to the audience. What’s interesting is that Uncle Da’s performance in the film is also relaxed and relaxed, and he is worthy of being a golden supporting role!
