Jackie Chan posted two condolences on social accounts in one day.
One is to mourn the death of the Hong Kong director Luo Qirui (" The Thief of Time "), and the other is to mourn the death of the senior Ni Kuang.
Jackie Chan wrote: What happened today (July 3)... I just learned that Senior Ni Kuang has also left. The Hong Kong talent in our hearts represents the splendor of an era. We miss you.
html On July 3, Hong Kong writer Shen Xicheng , who had a close personal relationship with Ni Kuang, posted on social networking sites to reveal that the famous writer Ni Kuang passed away. Subsequently, Hong Kong media reported the news that Ni Kuang passed away at noon that day at the age of 87.
After Huang Zhan and Jin Yong, Ni Kuang passed away, and now only Chua Lam is left among the "four great talents in Hong Kong".
Speaking of Ni Kuang, he can be described as a legendary figure in Hong Kong's literary and film circles. He is both a writer and a playwright. Many martial arts films in Hong Kong are also related to him. He also has a sister who is also a famous writer: Yishu.
Ni Kuang is also involved in the entertainment industry - his son Ni Zhen married a "beautiful girl of the generation", and he also became the father-in-law of Zhou Huimin, a beauty in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Ni Kuang himself is a person with a story.
Ni Kuang, formerly known as Ni Cong, also named Yi Ming, was born in Shanghai on May 30, 1935, and his native place is Ningbo, Zhejiang. In 1957, he came to Hong Kong and became a self-taught writer.
Ni Kuang’s writing speed was astonishing. There were no computers at that time, so he could handwrite thousands of words per hour. He also wrote serials for 12 newspapers at the same time. He was a cool and unrestrained man. After finishing his work, he would go out for a drink...
At that time, Jin Yong founded "Ming Pao" and was in urgent need of writers. With Jin Yong's encouragement, Ni Kuang showed his talents and began to write novels using " Wesley " in 1962. , writing the fourth article " blue blood ", the Wesley series of novels officially became a science fiction series.
Ni Kuang not only writes science fiction, but also writes about gods and monsters, romance, and martial arts. When it comes to martial arts, the most famous incident is that he once helped Jin Yong write "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". In addition, he also wrote He has contributed a lot to Hong Kong martial arts films, including the popular Bruce Lee "Tangshan Brother" and the classic "Fist of Fury", as well as the masterpiece "One-Armed Sword" directed by Chang Cheh .
Ni Kuang once used a couplet to summarize his two most proud things: "I have repeatedly written scripts for Zhang Che and once wrote novels for Jin Yong."
At that time, Jin Yong was going to Europe to participate in activities, but the serialization of the martial arts novel "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" could not be stopped, so Jin Yong found Ni Kuang and asked him to ghostwrite "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" while he was in Europe. At that time, Jin Yong specifically found Ni Kuang before leaving and made some requests, fearing that he would be too "unconstrained".
However, Ni Kuang blinded Ah Zi as soon as he ghostwritten "Dragon Babu" because he didn't like the willful and rude Ah Zi. As a result, when Jin Yong came back, he was helpless and could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
In the end, Jin Yong simply "find a way" to "give" You Tanzhi 's eyes to Ah Zi. Later, after Jin Yong obtained Ni Kuang's consent, he almost completely deleted the content written by Ni Kuang in "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", leaving only some traces of Ni Kuang's time.
However, being able to hand over his important works to Ni Kuang for ghostwriting is enough to show Jin Yong's trust and respect for Ni Kuang, as well as the relationship and friendship between the two.
Ni Kuang’s contribution to Hong Kong martial arts movies is even more important. In 2012, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards, which is enough to illustrate.
Two keywords are inseparable: martial arts movies and Bruce Lee.
In the 1960s, Ni Kuang was writing martial arts movie scripts, including the famous "One-Armed Sword" directed by Chang Cheh. "The One-Armed Sword" was also the first film written by Ni Kuang. Later, when he recalled, Ni Kuang said that he didn't know how to write any scripts at that time.
However, after "The One-Armed Sword" was released, it achieved word-of-mouth and box office miracles and became a landmark martial arts film. As a result, Ni Kuang successfully became a "prominent" martial arts film screenwriter.
In 1970, director Luo Wei found Ni Kuang, who was already a "famous screenwriter", and asked him to write a martial arts script for Bruce Lee who returned from the United States.
But at that time, Ni Kuang was the screenwriter of Shaw Brothers and could not write a script for his "rival" Jiahe. However, due to the favor of his friends, he finally "casually" wrote a script for Luo Wei in an anonymous form.
At that time, Bruce Lee was not famous yet, but who would have thought that it was this "casual" script and a small-scale movie that made Bruce Lee famous, broke the previous million-dollar box office record of "The One-Armed Sword", and made Ni Kuang and Chang Cheh famous? They were all greatly surprised.
In 1972, Ni Kuang continued to participate in the screenwriting work of another Bruce Lee kung fu film "Fist of Fury". This time, he tailor-made the script for Bruce Lee and created a classic "Chen Zhen" image: kicking "East Asia to pieces" The sign "Sick Man" is very relieving!
"Fist of Fury" became a hit, and Bruce Lee became a super kung fu star because of this film. Ni Kuang is undoubtedly one of the major contributors behind it.
Ni Kuang is the father-in-law of Zhou Huimin, the "beautiful girl of the generation". After his death, Hong Kong media interviewed his daughter-in-law Zhou Huimin. Her agent said that Zhou Huimin is currently in grief and hopes that the media will not disturb her.
Ni Kuang’s son Ni Zhen has always been a playboy in his early years, and there were constant scandals when he was in love with Zhou Huimin. At that time, Ni Kuang was always questioned by the media about his son and Zhou Huimin. At that time, Zhou Huimin was not married, and Ni Kuang once praised her: "Zhou Huimin is beautiful and capable. She is well-behaved and filial, and she is the best in the world as a daughter-in-law!”
Although Ni Kuang supported his son in his early years and was not considered a love interest, in 2008, Ni Zhen and a mainland woman were photographed kissing in a nightclub, causing a stir.
At that time, Zhou Huimin, who was at her lowest point, announced in an open letter that the two had become friends. Ni Zhen also wrote a letter. The two people's breakup statement at that time was written in a fresh style and was praised by everyone as a "breakup model essay."
But just when everyone was lamenting the breakup of the two, 7 days later, news suddenly came out that the two had registered their marriage at lightning speed. Like a nonsensical farce, it caused an uproar in the outside world. After marrying Ni Zhen, Zhou Huimin almost faded out of the entertainment industry.
For such a dramatic marriage, Ni Kuang later still supported his son Ni Zhen. He said that he was happy as a father-in-law and would wish his son and daughter-in-law to grow old together. When asked whether he would remind his son not to pursue other girls after marriage, he loved his son eagerly. Ni Kuang supported and said: "What does it matter? I don't think there is a problem."
In addition, Ni Kuang also mentioned this incident in a column titled "What does it have to do with me?" His son Ni Zhen never explained to him, There was no need for him to explain. Ni Kuang said that whether they break up or get married, it is always a matter between the two of them.
Although Ni Zhen was famous for being a playboy at the time, he was still inferior to his father Ni Kuang. He once wrote an article and mentioned: "When my father was 45 years old, I was 15 years old. I often didn't see my father come home for a month. I still Not like him enough.”
Although Ni Kuang and his wife Li Guozhen, who is 3 years younger than him, got married very early, during the peak period of Ni Kuang’s creation, half of his royalties were given to his wife’s family, and the other half was spent drinking and having a romantic affair. He also boasted in an interview that he became a romantic before the age of 45. .
But later, Ni Kuang chose to turn back.
One day, Ni Kuang realized his guilt for his wife, and later immigrated abroad with his mentally degenerated wife, quitting his previous drunken life, buying food, cooking, singing, and accompanying his wife, and started He had another kind of calm and indifferent old age life. He said that he was not done with his wife in this life, and hoped that there would be another life for her.
Ni Kuang once wrote his own epitaph: "Think more about the benefits of my life, don't talk about my death. Disadvantages afterwards. "
Today, Ni Kuang is reunited with his old friends Jin Yong and Huang Zhan. May heaven continue to be unrestrained.
