When everyone is watching film and television works, they are always used to focus on the protagonist. But since there is a protagonist, there must be green leaves. Although some supporting role professionals have not been able to become "generation superstars", their dramas and character have influenced a generation of people in the entertainment circle, such as Jackie Chan called "Uncle Shrimp" The old Hong Kong opera bone Guan Haishan.
Guan Haishan was born in Guangzhou in 1925. He studied Cantonese opera since childhood, and then moved to Hong Kong with his family. In the 1950s, the Hong Kong film industry began to sprout, and many opera works were first put on the screen. Guan Haishan, who is well-known in the Cantonese opera community in Hong Kong, naturally became the first batch of film actors. He once played Lu Chengfeng in the 83 version of "Shooting the Eagles", and played the role of Obai in the 84 version of "The Deer and Ding Ji". Xiao 8 believes that netizens who like old Hong Kong movies are familiar with him.
Guan Haishan is called "Uncle Shrimp" in the circle, and this nickname is still from Jackie Chan. When Guan Haishan participated in Jackie Chan's film "Plan A", he often stooped and hunched over and looked like a shrimp, so Jackie Chan jokingly called him "Uncle Shrimp". From then on, this nickname followed him until he died of illness.
"Uncle Shrimp" participated in a number of film and television dramas in the 1980s and 1990s, and mentioned many newcomers in the film industry in their twenties at that time, and they all became the Hong Kong film and television industry. Big coffee. Even after the success of Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, and other big names, they still remember the support of "Uncle Shrimp". Andy Lau said that for decades, he has always kept Guan Haishan's saying "being a man before acting" in mind.
Zhou Xingchi mentioned in an interview that Guan Haishan is an unassuming old predecessor, and he had a lot to mention when he was a young actor. The book "Actor's Self-cultivation" that appeared in "The King of Comedy" was inspired by the "Six Lectures on Acting Skills" given to him by Guan Haishan.
Lu Liangwei and Guan Haishan have cooperated many times, and once played his son in the play. He also recognized Guan Haishan as a godfather outside the play. Many years after Guan Haishan's death, Lu Liangwei will still recall his godfather's care for him in interviews.
In 1991, Guan Haishan, who played a supporting role for a lifetime, won the Golden Statue Award and the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor. Xiao 8 feels that "Uncle Shrimp"'s acting career is complete. In 2006, the 82-year-old Guan Haishan passed away due to illness.
He loved to invest in real estate during his lifetime, and he also liked to collect antique art. The property he left behind made his wife and children a mess.
Guan Haishan had four relationships in his life, and he and the first three "wives" did not receive a certificate. The first "wife" had no children with him. He had 2 sons and 1 daughter with the "second wife", and the "third wife" also had a daughter. Only the last wife, Zeng Dirong, was the legal wife and was called " Shrimp sister".
After the death of Guan Haishan, the children of the "Second Tai" first questioned the division of the estate and suspected that the current wife forged a will. Subsequently, the "third wife" also joined the camp, insisting on going to court. The attitude of "Shrimp Sister" is also very tough. She said she refused to attend Guan Haishan's funeral with her former wife and children.
But in the end, the children of "Second Tai" and "San Tai" were still present at the funeral. The "Shrimp" also decided that the deceased would be the big one, temporarily letting go of grievances, and sent away peacefully with the predecessor. old.
At the funeral, several TVB staff members entered the mourning hall with cameras without permission. They planned to broadcast live. They were strongly opposed by Guan Haishan’s family and friends, and there was a little conflict. It was only after the small 8 textual research that the so-called "chaos in the mourning hall" on the Internet was actually a piece of cake.
In a blink of an eye, "Uncle Shrimp" has passed away for 14 years, and his wives and children have died after the inheritance dispute.
Some time ago, a reporter was there. Taipei came across Guan Cong, the son of Guan Haishan's "Second Tai". The 66-year-old Guan Cong was selling XO sauce on the street. When Guan Cong was young,Following in his father's footsteps to become an actor, he withdrew from the showbiz in the 1990s to join the business world.
Guan Cong said that his XO sauce is an exclusive secret, sold on the street in person, and also offers free tasting. He made his own stills into billboards, calling himself a "Hong Kong and Taiwan superstar." Although exaggeration of the advertisement is a normal operation, Xiao 8 still feels a touch of embarrassment.
Guan Cong said that his XO sauce "sells well" and can sell more than 200 bottles a month. Xiao 8 can't help but wonder, if the sales are good, why sell it in person on the street? Moreover, the monthly sale of 200 is not too much.
Guan Cong revealed that in addition to XO sauce, he is still investing in the jewelry business. That is the main source of income. It seems that making XO sauce is just an interest. Guan Cong said that he has never been in conflict with the world and did not participate in the inheritance dispute. Now, although his wife in Taipei has not obtained the certificate, they are very close to each other and live a blessed life.
Although not all of Guan Haishan’s children grew up next to him, Xiao 8 feels that from the perspective of Guan Cong’s "Buddha" life, Guan Haishan’s children have inherited his career Seriously dedicated, and low-key life style. I believe that in the film and television industry, there will be countless artists who will continue to pass on the positive energy of "Uncle Shrimp".
