Who do you think of when it comes to Hong Kong's professional villains?
is He Jiaju , Cheng Kui'an , Li Ka-ki , Huang Guangliang , or "evil charm and crazy" Shan Liwen , "first pervert" Cao Charlie , or "first evil" Shi Jian?
The 1970s and 1990s was the heyday of Hong Kong film and television, and the reputation of "Oriental Hollywood" came from this.
In addition to the glittering of the decent actors, they have also made many villain actors.
It is precisely because of the scepter that the heroes can shine.
Li Zixiong is known as the "No. 1 villain in Hong Kong", and it is definitely not a false reputation.
lists the "bad guys" he has played, and each of them makes people feel cold and outrageously bad.
Nowadays, Li Zixiong is over 70 years old.
He played a bad guy in the first half of his life in order to save the poor and fragmented "original family".
After becoming a Beijing son-in-law in the second half of his life, he "returned to nature" because he found his life's love...
,
Many friends say that Li Zixiong looks very similar to Tony Leung .
In fact, in addition to being handsome, Li Zixiong is 6 cm taller than Tony Leung.
Li Zixiong has a height of 1.80 meters, has a clear contour on his face and a bright look.
Such a handsome young actor, it is understandable to take the idol route.
But when he was young, he rarely played positive characters and did not receive the dividends of high appearance.
The reason must start with his family...
In 1959, Li Zixiong was born in a peasant family in Hong Kong, and his ancestral home is Shenzhen, Guangdong.
Li Zixiong has 4 brothers and 3 sisters, and he ranks 8 in the family.
Li’s father and mother leaned against several acres of thin land, with their mouths facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, and raised the children with great difficulty.
Farmer families with more than one child and many daughters are naturally struggling.
What’s even more sad is that fate has never “freed” them because of this.
That year, Li's father sold his basic farmland in Hong Kong in order to return to Guangdong to make a living.
didn't expect that he would encounter a scam. Not only did he not get a penny, but he also lost the land on which he lived.
However, the disaster never came singularly. His wife soon suffered from severe lung disease and lost her labor force since then.
Fortunately, Li's father borrowed money from his neighbors to open a small shop, which made the family barely survive.
In Li Zixiong's childhood memory, it is even more difficult to eat a full meal, and wearing new clothes is even more luxurious.
He and his brothers and sisters are soaking in bitter water and walking through hunger.
After graduating from junior high school, Li Zixiong chose to drop out.
is not for anything else, just to work early to reduce the burden on the family.
Li Zixiong has a junior high school diploma and is handsome, so it is not difficult to find a job.
His first job was to assist in the inspection of goods in Hong Kong Customs .
This job is not only highly paid, but also respected.
will hand over most of his salary to his parents as soon as he gets paid. The few remaining parts of
are used to buy books and study by yourself and maintain the most basic life.
Because of his tall and handsomeness, Li Zixiong was brought into the advertising industry by a scout. After shooting the first cosmetics advertisement, he received a richer reward.
At the same time, it also laid the groundwork for him to enter the entertainment industry...
.
In the mid-1980s, "Oriental Hollywood" was in glory.
One day in 1985, the great director Tsui Hark accidentally saw a cosmetics advertisement taken by Li Zixiong.
This boy with a good temperament immediately made Director Xu's eyes lit up.
At that time, Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng , Huang Baiming , Shi Tian , Teddy Robin , Zhiwei , Mai Jia and others formed the "New Art City Seven Monsters", intending to make their own world in the Hong Kong film industry.
At that time, John Woo was depressed and it was difficult to have a future.
For this reason, my friend Tsui Hark pulled him to New Art City .
After Tsui Hark "knows the pearl with his wise eyes", Li Zixiong's life has undergone qualitative changes since then.
In the same year, Li Zixiong joined the crew of "The True Color of Heroes" and played the role of "Big Brother Cheng" in the film.
Compared with big guys such as Dilon , Zhou Runfa , Leslie Cheung , Leslie Cheung , he is undoubtedly a newcomer, and no one would have thought that he could perform the essence of "Big Brother".
But the fact is, Li Zixiong really did it.
In order to play this role well, he repeatedly studied the script and figured out the inner world of the characters, often sleeplessly. During the filming of
, he was often scolded by the director and ridiculed by his colleagues.
Fortunately, he finally persevered and from then on he reached the peak of his career.
In 1986, "The True Color of Heroes" was released in Hong Kong for only 4 days, and it achieved an impressive box office of 34.65 million.
Therefore, "outdated director" John Woo proved himself with his strength;
"outdated actor" Di Long became popular again after leaving Shaw Brothers ;
, Chow Yun-fat, who was named "box office poison", became popular all over the country.
The fledgling Li Zixiong won the Hong Kong movie " Film Awards " nomination for Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor, and the Taiwanese movie "Golden Horse Awards" nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
A non-professional actor can stand out among the works of actors with crowded movies. Li Zixiong's efforts are self-evident.
Now, "The True Color of Heroes" has become the ceiling of domestic gunfight films.
Regarding Li Zixiong's acting skills, there is a saying circulating in the market: is not afraid of Xiao Ma's infinite bullets, but is afraid of A Cheng shooting behind his back!
It can be seen from this that the "Acheng" played by Li Zixiong has become so bad that the hearts of movie fans.
1988, Li Zixiong could have embarked on the "good person" route with " City Special Police " directed by Johnnie To .
In this film, he plays the role of detective "Huang Weibang", with his temperament and image very positive.
In order to set off the protagonist's halo of Li Zixiong, Tsui Hark, Guo Zhui , Weng Shijie , Xiang Huaqiang and other bigwigs all matched them.
Become a popular actress Wang Zuxian plays a nurse and is willing to be a "green leaf" for Li Zixiong.
Unfortunately, the box office failed after "City Special Police" was released, and Li Zixiong failed when he became the starring actor for the first time.
In the same year, he joined hands with Chow Yun-fat to contribute the comedy romance film " Diary of the Real Man " directed by Chu Yuan , but he still failed to escape the fate of a box office defeat.
failed twice, and Li Zixiong was covered in the cloak of "poison".
failed repeatedly, but he was "unfairly accused".
Because of his acting skills, the audience has a good reputation in their hearts.
In the following years, although Li Zixiong had been having sex, he could not escape the curse of being a supporting role.
in works such as " Tianluodi.com ", "Love and Friendship", "Wind and Rain", his performance is remarkable, but he is often in a state of soy sauce.
It is worth mentioning that the directors all like his "bad guy traits" and will hardly let him play a positive role.
,
1990, Li Zixiong re-created the villain classic.
In " Bloody Street " directed by John Woo, Lee Zixiong, Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung form an "iron triangle" lineup, playing the role of "Xi Rong" in the film.
Xirong, who has been poor since childhood, has never been able to resist his best brothers, even pulling his gun to face each other.
This clip, I believe everyone can appreciate Li Zixiong's unfathomable acting skills.
After Jacky Cheung was injured, Xirong thought about it over and over again, and finally cruelly pressed him into the grass and shot him in the head.
In just two or three minutes of the play, Li Zixiong's acting skills reached the pinnacle.
The greed, selfish, cruel and other bad natures of human nature are vividly interpreted by him.
Because every bad guy portrayed by Li Zixiong is deeply rooted in people's hearts, he is nicknamed "Hong Kong No. 1 villain" by the audience. He deserves the title of
.
He is used to playing the villain and is also very outstanding in playing the decent. In "A Chinese Ghost Story 2 Human Way" directed by Cheng Xiaodong , Li Zixiong transformed into a "Zuo Qianhu" who is both righteous and evil.
When he first appeared on the camera, he believed in slander and killed loyal people, which was terrifying.
When he woke up, he ignored his mortal body and did not hesitate to be with the "Pudu Cihang" hard steel, and finally sacrificed his life.
Especially the he said at the end of his death, " If I don't go to hell, , who will go to hell?" further demonstrates the style of the hero.
In " Lame " directed by Madon Xiong , "Chen Dawen" played by Li Zixiong is also unforgettable.
As the number one follower of "Cuhao", he was calm and calm when encountering things and swears loyalty to his master to death. He is so righteous.
Originally, when Lu Hao was in trouble, he could protect himself.
But for the sake of brotherly loyalty, he chose to face the pain of prison with Chuhao.
The classic characters presented by Li Zixiong are far more than these.
is like in the fashion drama "The Man of Heaven and Earth", he is the loyal and treacherous " Ye Yongchang ";
time travel drama " Looking for Qin Ji ", he is the insidious and cunning "Zhao Mu";
martial arts drama "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", he plays the number one traitor "Yu Wenji"...
,
old saying goes: Life is like a play, and drama is like a life.
In the fiercely competitive and even tragic Hong Kong entertainment industry, it is difficult to make a name for itself.
Along the way, Li Zixiong finally gained his own place with his unremitting efforts.
With a slight achievement, he began to shoulder the burden of his family, not only to be responsible for his mother's expensive medical expenses, but also to take care of his elder brother and sister.
This made him fail after several relationships.
The main reason why several girlfriends left was that they disliked him for being too poor and having too heavy burdens on him.
In 1994, at the age of 35, he finally found true love and achieved success with Hong Kong local singer Fang Xiaohong.
Years, with the birth of his son, the family of three was in a happy mood.
After marriage, Fang Xiaohong quit the music scene and opened a wedding shop, focusing on running her own small family.
Fang Xiaohong hopes that her husband can take his heart back from the "big family". It is understandable to think about it.
But Li Zixiong, who insists on "taking into account the overall situation", could not escape unscathed.
Compared with ordinary people's brothers and sisters, Li Zixiong, as a film and television star, has a richer income and a higher reputation.
So he decided to do his best to make everyone in the family live a well-off life.
, the plate is too big, and he can't take it into consideration with his own strength.
Every time I see my husband "sacrificing his family and taking care of everyone", Fang Xiaohong can understand, but she is also very sad.
Over time, the relationship between the couple gradually became estranged.
After the millennium, Hong Kong's film and television industry has declined day by day, and "Oriental Hollywood" is no longer as glorious as before.
In 2005, Li Zixiong, who was over 10 years old, moved his acting position to the mainland and started a intensive work.
Due to the long separation between the two places, his relationship with Fang Xiaohong became even weaker.
In those years, he starred in film and television dramas such as " Dream Back to Qinghe ", "Highlights of Our Graduation ", "Hengfair 70 million", and received a lot of praise.
But he and Fang Xiaohong can never go back to the past.
In 2007, the marriage between the two came to an end, and Fang Xiaohong obtained custody of her son.
After the divorce, Li Zixiong was alone and devoted himself to acting.
is about to enter the year of Knowing Destiny , a young girl breaks into his emotional world.
When he took on the movie " Father and Son Detective ", Li Zixiong met unexpectedly with the post-80s actress Fatimai Yaqi.
Fatimai Yaqi was originally named Wang Yaqi . He was a Beijing girl born in 1982 and was 23 years younger than Li Zixiong.
Perhaps there is an "Oedafather complex". Fatima Yaqi has been in love with Zhang Tielin , who is 25 years older than her.
never thought that Zhang Tielin was a well-known "romantic emperor" in the circle and would never marry her.
After seeing Zhang Tielin's true face clearly, Fatimai Yaqi resolutely chose to break up.
After meeting with the crew of "Father and Son Detective", Fatimai Yaqi was deeply attracted by Li Zixiong's masculine temperament.
Before she started her career, she had watched many film and television dramas by Li Zixiong and was impressed by her superb acting skills.
has become a colleague now, which makes her feel even more touched. After the filming of
,
, the actors went their separate ways.
But since then, Fatimai Yaqi often takes time to run to watch Li Zixiong act.
is not for anything else, just to see your sweetheart.
And Li Zixiong also slowly discovered this little girl with admiration in her eyes.
Li Zixiong initially refused this "old and young love".
because he was worried about being criticized and was afraid that Fatima Yaqi would be attacked by a cyber attack.
Sometimes things like emotions must break through the worldly perspective in order to achieve the right result.
Learning that Li Zixiong was concerned, Fatimai Yaqi took the lead in expressing his attitude.
"I really like you, I'm not afraid of anything for you!"
A girl is so brave for love, let alone a real man?
In 2009, the two officially established a romantic relationship, but they were still opposed by their parents.
Li Zixiong’s parents’ attitude is very clear: it is difficult for an old man and a young wife to be happy!
Fatimai Yaqi's parents tactfully advised their daughter: If you marry into Hong Kong, what will we do in the future?
In response to the concerns of future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Li Zixiong said: After Yaqi and I got married, we settled in the mainland and respect your two elders.
Regarding the concerns of future parents-in-law, Fatimai Yaqi responded: Marriage is not a joke. Since I decided to marry him, I will not care about the age gap.
In October 2010, Li Zixiong and Fatimai Yaqi fought all kinds of difficulties and held a low-key wedding in Beijing.
2018, 59-year-old Li Zixiong had a child when he was old, and his happy smile instantly smoothed his wrinkles.
Nowadays, Li Zixiong is 63 years old, and it is basically impossible to tell that he is an old man over 60 years old.
In recent years, in addition to working hard to film, he also learned to do housework and take care of his children, and he was like a qualified "dad".
Conclusion:
Looking at Li Zixiong's first half of his life, he played all kinds of bad people in the play, but outside the play is a good man who is filial to the Gu family.
He used his indomitable will to support the happiness of his family, and used his acting skills to unite people and play to conquer the audience's attention, which deserves a big thumbs up.
Life abuses me thousands of times, and I treat life as my first love!
When the global economy continues to be sluggish, celebrities and ordinary people continue to forge ahead in difficult days and must not retreat. At the end of the article
, I wish you who have spent time reading this article will have a successful career and a happy family!
