I saw an issue of "Thirteen Invitations" today.
The guest interviewed was Wu Mengda, the golden supporting actor called "China's Morgan Freeman".
When he talked about the old friendship with Stephen Chow,
listened quietly, and his eyes were wet before he knew it.
As a golden partner in the past, it is somewhat embarrassing...
He said,
"I sometimes think about what caused
. Now,
There is a feeling of being old and dead...
……
I believe he is thinking too, but no matter what,
meets once, fate is not easy."
"Old and dead do not communicate"
These six words were uttered from his mouth,
seemed to have made a cut in everyone's memories.
Although Wu Mengda’s words are full of helplessness and regret, he even used those six words that are not appropriate.
But we still know that there is no contradiction between them, and there is no helplessness.
Their friendship is the same as most of us, just because of the different directions, so we walked away.
Wu Mengda said:
" I am very familiar with him, and we know each other very well. We (previously) have a tacit understanding, and we know what the other person is thinking with just one look. ."
Actually, when talking about the "tacit understanding" between Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, we should start from 1989.
The "Little Dragon Set" who has just entered the industry and a "passed" red star meet in a "Ghost", who knows that the future will create a legend together.
For Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda in life is more like a brother. For the younger Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda has also given meticulous care.
Wu Mengda called Zhou Xingchi Xingzi, and Zhou Xingchi called Wu Mengda Dago.
Da Ge does not know how to drive, he is always carried by Star Boy wherever he goes.
Xingzai is not very good at communication, and he always depends on Da Ge to weigh and communicate between him and the director.
The two often sneak into the dating sacred place late at night, eavesdropping on the words of other lovers for inspiration.
The two also have a common hobby, eating canned abalone on the set.
There are usually two in a can, Star Tsai eats the big one, and Da Ge eats the small one.
The turn of the year, but that's it.
In another year, "The Gambling" opened for them, defeating Jackie Chan and Xu Guanjie's movies at the lowest cost. Zhou Xingchi's long-term partnership with Wu Mengda also began.
From then on, he is the Pig Bajie in "A Chinese Journey to the West". He is the third uncle who wants to rely on his nephew's special functions and is greedy for money in "Gambling Saint". In "To do less work," he pretends to be Parkinson’s old undercover; he is the master Hai Dafu in "The Deer and Ding Ji", Hai Dafu; he is Bao Youwei, the nephew of Bao Longxing in "Nine Pins of Sesame Official"; he is The benevolent father in "Tricky Expert" and "Moon Stars"; he is the undercover undercover hiding on the set, scolding "Zhou Xingchi" 系 in "The King of Comedy"; he is "Shaolin Football" "In ", the coach who had lost confidence...
Regardless of the insidious and cunning behind-the-scenes boss in "The God of Cookery", he framed the evil and proud of the Queen of Cookery.
or《少林足球》 The helpless golden rightFeet, the feeling of collapse after learning that he was framed.
If you look carefully, whenever Wu Mengda expresses his emotions independently in the movie, the audience can clearly feel that he can handle diaosi and the boss with ease.
At that time, Stephen Chow's movie was accompanied by Wu Mengda. This pair of tacit partners felt very good just thinking about it.
In 12 years, they collaborated on 28 films. They created a new era of Hong Kong comedy movies and became a box office miracle.
I saw a particularly touching sentence before:
Wu Mengda is like Stephen Chow’s spiritual antidote, healing his loneliness.
In every classic movie of Zhou Xingchi, there is almost the golden partner Wu Mengda, although they are all supporting actors, but If this supporting role is missing, you will find the whole movie and it will be overshadowed....
We seem to have grown up watching their movies since childhood,
They are in "The Gambler" Eat a bowl of instant noodles at the same time;
is an undercover in "Fight Back to School"...
is hilarious in "The Deer Trip" People remember the dragon's claw hand with a hundred shots.
has very few scenes in "The King of Comedy", but it is unforgettable...
makes people laugh in "Nine Pins of Sesame Official" Can't stop...
In "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" , Zhou Xingchi plays Su Qier, and Wu Mengda plays Zhou Xingchi's father.
In "Jigong" , Zhou Xingchi starred in Jigong, Arhat, and Wu Mengda starred in Fuhu Luohan.
In "Shaolin Football", they let people know what is the difference between being a person and a salted fish if you don't have a dream.
Whether it is a hero or a rogue,
is funny with the struggle and inspiration of small people.
is always clean and warm.
never thought that "Shaolin Football" was actually the last cooperation of the best combination.
They worked hard to make the world laugh, but they were not bypassed by the years...
2004's "Kung Fu" was the starting point for the two people to "do not meet each other."
Actually, "Kung Fu" reserved a role for Wu Mengda, the one of Lin Zicong. It was just because the filming of "Kung Fu" was relatively bumpy. In the event of a SARS postponement, Wu Mengda's schedule could not be missed afterwards, so I missed it.
But we don’t know what the truth is.
But I know, Uncle Da stood up and stood up for the star in the public opinion storm of "poor character".
Wu Mengda said that Stephen Chow had approached him during the "Mermaid", but he was in poor health at that time, so he did not participate in the performance. This is the last known contact between the two people!
"As long as I am not dead,
he has not retired, we will still cooperate."
Wu Mengda also once in an interview with "Luyu Have a Date" Call Stephen Chow like this.
can actually understand it.
The so-called "Old and dead don’t meet each other", it’s not grievances, but time.
The friendship in the world is mostly not this kind of virtue?
Walk, and it will go away.
They played every state in life, but after all, they did not escape the shackles of this world.
Now,
On June 22, Stephen Chow just passed his 58th birthday.
吴孟达 is also about to step into the ancient rare.
Now the body is not as good as before, because of diabetes, heart failure, multiple hospitalizations and even ICU.
They are all old,
And the group of people who watched their movie,
smiled and grew up.
but the audience still expect them to cooperate again,
because there is no Wu Mengda’s Stephen Chow movie,
I always feel that something is missing.
What about you? Are you looking forward to it?
