It is rare for people with talent, sincere attitude and continuous creativity. In 1990, he founded Tianfang Production and filmed his entrepreneurial work "The Return of the Condor Heroes" the following year. He began to intervene in the investment and production fields of movies

proves the truth in the text. ——Tang Lei

Hong Kong movie.

The dross and essence come together, like rivers and mud and sand.

The reason is very simple.

Not many people with talent, sincere attitude and continuous creativity.

has many people who only regard it as a means of making a living or even a business.

This is of course also the norm in the world.

so there is no need to blame.

A hundred years of film history, like a flash of time.

has the last superstar.

each performs its own ways.

The first position is "controller", Andy Lau.

With this achievement boosted, Andy Lau made a concerted effort to release many works in succession, but each part suffered losses.

Later, due to huge losses, the company was mortgaged and worked to pay off its debts with a monthly salary.

Wait until the difficult period and introduces funds to restart the sky, but because of its business philosophy, it went to court and even was kicked out.

Looking back, it looks very much like a joke made by God and Andy Lau’s “movie dream”.

But he was never satisfied with just being an actor.

instead has a kind of almost stubborn obsession with "controlling movies".

In 2002, he founded Yingyi Entertainment, and together with other film companies, he jointly invested in movies such as " No Thieves in the World", " Jianghu ", " Jianghu ", "say I love you again", " Brothers' Life and Death Alliance ", " Fighting the Arena ", and " Taojie ", " Storm ", "Bomb Disposal Expert", "Drug Sweep 2", and "Hot Blood Choir" and other movies. During this period, he also discovered "Crazy Stone" with the "Asian New Star Director" plan.

But his name first appeared as producer in 2013 in "Storm", and the "Investment + Producer + Starring" model has officially taken shape since then.

has been in the film industry for more than 40 years. His representative career works include " Days of Love ", " Secret Battle ", " Infernal Affairs ", "Big Man", " Disciple ", " Voting ", "Taojie", and " Lost and Iron ". Unfortunately, his acting skills have not reached the top level, but in terms of business model, they are almost the most ideal type among actors.

For the foreseeable future, he pursues complete control of the movie.

The second place is "performer", Tony Leung.

Although he understood the truth that "actors are passive" very early, he never tried to "turn the guests on the spot", but tried his best to think and explore in the performance and find another kind of fun.

As a filmmaker with no extra ambition and great talent, his film path is undoubtedly very smooth.

, especially the encounter with Wong Kar-wai , can be described as a blessing and success for each other.

Whether it is " Chongqing Forest ", " East Evil and West Poison ", "Spring Light" or " Years of Love ", "2046", and " First Generation Master ", Wong Kar-wai has made a total of ten movies in his career, including Tony Leung, seven of which are Tony Leung, and five of them are Tony Leung as the absolute protagonist, and they have presented six best actors, including the Cannes Best Actor, who is particularly important.

Leaving Wong Kar-wai, there are still movies such as "The City of Sadness", "Dark Flowers", "Flowers on the Sea", "Infernal Affairs", and "Lust and Caution", which also shine brightly and won three more movie master trophys.

Whether you like him or not, if you don’t admit his talent, it can be said to be a narrow-minded vision and mind.

Of course, he also encountered a crisis of trust.

, especially after "The Grandmaster" in 2013, not only did the number of works sharply decreased, but almost every movie was trapped in the quagmire of "bad movies". This trend actually began after reaching the peak of performance level in 2007, including "Red Cliff (Part 1), "Red Cliff (Part 2), "The Great Magician" and "The Wind Listener". Compared with the previous one, the performance shines sharply.

He has also tried hard, such as ending his 20-year guest-host relationship with Zetung Film in 2018 and began to work with a new team. The movies that are filmed by Bi are " When the Wind Rises Again ", " Fox Hunting Action ", " Golden Finger " and " Unnamed ". Among them, "When the Wind Rises Again" is a revival work.

Recently, he said in an interview that he has reached the final stage of his performance.

seems to have the intention of retreating.

The third place is "latecomer", Donnie Yen .

He entered the industry not late, and in 1984 he started his film career with a movie called "Laughter Tai Chi".

But in the 1980s and 1990s, it cannot be said that they are unknown, but they are still low under the shadow of a number of action celebrities such as Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan , Yuanbiao and Jet Li . Even in the late 1990s, after Jackie Chan and Jet Li went to Hollywood one after another, there was still no improvement.

did not begin to usher in the dawn of personal career until 2000.

In 2002, he participated in " Hero " by Zhang Yimou . Although the ranking was particularly low, many people knew that in addition to Bruce Lee , Jackie Chan and Jet Li, there is also Donnie Yen who can fight.

to 2005, he participated in the Tsui Hark movies " Seven Swords " and Ye Weixin's " Killing Wolf " and " Dragon and Tiger Gate ". In 2007, he collaborated with Ye Weixin again to " Fuse " and launched " Ip Man " in 2008. These movies have re-incited the Chinese-language action movie market where superstars are absent and successfully established the status of "new generation of action superstars".

It has been more than twenty years since his debut.

Of course, he also enjoyed the glory of "latecomer". In addition to being named one of the "Ancient and Martial Arts Zhens", after Jet Li received hundreds of millions of pay in the 2007 war action movie "The Legend of the Constitution", Donnie Yen also reproduced this luxury feat in 2019's " Ip Man 4".

This is of course also a standard that most actors cannot reach.

But in other words, the career of an action actor is shorter than that of a conventional commercial actor, so it is actually fair.

Donnie Yen, who is filming "The Legend of Qiao Feng in the Legend of the Condor Heroes", ushered in the box office low of "Search and Rescue", and there was also news that "can't hold Ah Zhu". A realistic version of "Liang Po is old, can you still have a living?" is being released. Donnie Yen, who is 59 years old in the year, is seeking transformation.

The fourth place is " carrying the flag ", Aaron Kwok .

In the 1990s when Hong Kong movies were still in its prime, no one would have thought that a king on the stage would become the last "flag bearer" in the afterglow of Hong Kong movies.

There is a clear difference in his acting career.

All the 1990s, he appeared as a successful business idol.

Although he was nominated for the best supporting actor of the Academy Awards for the Silver Fox role in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in 1992, his performance in "Han of the Barefoot Boy " was full of spirituality, and "Romantic Storm" was regarded by the media as the annual bead of the Academy Awards Best Actor. Even the performance in "Han of " was remarkable, but he was always considered to be "average" in acting. At this stage of

, his greatest achievement in the film industry was that in 1998, he defeated the double-week monday in the box office with "The World of Wind and Clouds".

But in performance, compared with actors such as Tony Leung, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Liu Qingyun, , Wu Zhenyu , and Wu Zhenyu , the gap is even particularly obvious. For example, in the 2000 commercial action blockbuster " AD 2000 ", Aaron Kwok is still playing a youth idol role, while Wu Zhenyu in the same film became the best supporting actor for the Academy Awards with ten minutes of scenes. The gap in performance is indeed visible to the naked eye.

But the turning point came soon.

A shocking result.

In 2005, Aaron Kwok defeated Tony Leung with " Sanchakou ", and was nominated for the first time and won the Best Actor Award. The following year, he defeated Wu Zhenyu with " Father and Son ", and won the Best Actor Award again, shocking the film industry.

He himself went from being unbelievable to pressure gradually, and then began to have ambitions.

was especially appointed by the director of Tan Jiaming to play "Father and Son", and was taught by the director to "choose a more difficult role". He then went to "Favorites", " Floating City Tycoon ", " Chill War ", " National Witness ", "Hidden Plum", "Hidden Fight 2", "Break the Damn", "Wu Shuang", and "Mai Passerby", like an indefatigable performance machine.

To be honest, many people have a vague concept of "character difficulty", which also brings misunderstandings in their acting judgment.

The so-called "difficulty" refers to the complexity of the character itself and the creativity in performance required.

For example, "Father and Son", the actors require a "force field" in their bodies, a consistent decadent and vulgar urban flavor, and at the same time, they must have a compound form, illiterate embarrassment, rude towards the weak, cowardly facing the powerful, being a pimp and instigating their son to steal, with clear layers and natural transformation.

. I won’t give more examples. Interested movie fans can use the above works to analyze and verify them from the perspectives of role level, depth of entry, empathy ability, performance level, and emotional explosive power.

has both a commercial box office and a strong reputation. It can be said to be the most successful idol actor in the transformation of the Chinese film industry.

has reached its peak in personal terms, but it continues to move up.

carries the banner of Hong Kong shadow with quality.

If you want to watch a Hong Kong movie, you can be glad that "there is another Aaron Kwok".

is still creating more possibilities.

last one is "movie tycoon", Louis Koo .

To be honest, this word appeared about several years ago, but it has always felt that it is not in line with its reputation.

And as time goes by, this name really seems to be his.

Previously, Andy Lau said in an interview that many people said that they are model workers, but Louis Koo did a lot of things, even far more than himself, especially in the extension and radiation range of the film field.

This is a fact.

Earlier, Weng Ziguang also said that Louis Koo was building a "platform" of films. Inferring its meaning, it should be to provide the basic conditions for project cooperation for filmmakers in the industry, such as helping directors find investments and threading needles for specific projects. This is indeed an excellent idea, to communicate with each other and cooperate with each other.

So strictly speaking, Louis Koo's route is similar to Andy Lau to a certain extent, but it is not the same.

The latest movie " Tomorrow's War " has won the title of Chinese box office championship in Hong Kong's film history, which is also a gratifying one. It makes up for the shortcomings of Louis Koo's countless films over the years, but he has never had a personal top box office.

But the hidden concern is that the quality of the work is not strong enough, and from the perspective of the actors, there is insufficient persuasion.

may be more inclined toward science fiction movies and special effects production directions in the future.
