This comes from a scene in Lam Jiadong's "Underworld 2: Harmony Is Precious": the gang leader "Dongguan Zai" played by him comes out of a tea restaurant, climbs over the railing on the roadside in a dashing way, and leads his men to kill people.

Hurdle Master Lin Jiadong

Search "hurdle" on station B. The first thing that comes up is not the sport of hurdles, but Lin Jiadong.

This comes from a scene in Lam Jiadong's "Underworld 2: Harmony is Most Important": the gang leader "Dongguan Zai" played by him comes out of a tea restaurant, climbs over the railing on the roadside gracefully, and leads his men to kill people.

No one knows why this shot of only a few seconds has been praised, followed and even parodied by the audience.

is just like the popularity of and Zhang Jiahui's in the mainland. Just because of Hong Kong's unclear words, Zha Zhahui is well known to everyone.

is somewhat nonsensical.

However, if you look carefully at this hurdle action, it is full of "play" - casual, reckless, and arrogant, which makes people believe that this is indeed a street gangster.

Some people even joked that in order to perform this "cross" well, Lin Jiadong must have gone to the streets to practice.

Action breakdown

A bit actor who relies on hard work to rise to the top

He has been acting for 30 years, from a bit player in TV series to the best actor. There is no doubt about his superb acting skills.

Like many well-known celebrity actors, Lin Jiadong also participated in the TVB artist training class to make his debut.

In terms of appearance, he is naturally not as good as Tony Leung , Louis Koo and others. In terms of talent, he is not as good as Stephen Chow , but in terms of diligence and hard work, there are probably not many people who can match him.

was once called a "drama addict" because of his obsession with acting.

Despite this, he still worked as a supporting actor in various TV series for six or seven years, many of which were background roles without names or lines.

In the 1992 drama "The Big Era", Lin Jiadong played a stock trader, with only a few scenes showing his face. At that time, Liu Qingyun was already a first-line niche. Tao Dayu , who played the villain, soon started his journey to the leading role and quickly became a new generation of master killer. And Lam Jiadong had to wait for another 5 years before he finally became the leading actor.

In 1997, the performance of "Havoc in Guangchanglong" was a great success, making the audience take this actor seriously for the first time. Two years later, he starred in "Tea is Hometown Strong " and won the honor of being the emperor.

In addition, the Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Zhengming he portrayed can also be called classic characters in the history of TVB.

Entering the film industry and meeting the most important person in his life

From a bit player to a star, Lin Jiadong’s experience is a real inspirational story. If he keeps doing this, he may be TVB's gold medal TV actor today.

But if he stays in the TV industry, his acting skills will not be able to make further breakthroughs, and his career may not develop by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, after 2000, he did not renew his contract with TVB and decided to develop into the film field.

At this time, through the introduction of a friend, he met the noble man of his life - Andy Lau .

At that time, Andy Lau had been the "king" for many years, and his resources in the industry were unparalleled. He is very enthusiastic about supporting younger generations. Lin Jiadong can be regarded as his fellow junior, because he also came out of the TVB artist training class.

When Lin Jiadong entered Andy Lau's company, all his previous achievements in the television industry were wiped out. After all, the film industry and the television industry are very different in terms of industrial standards and industry development.

Like Andy Lau, he belongs to the "hard-working group". Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the two are very close to each other. As soon as he started working in movies, he received strong support from Andy Lau and got some good performance opportunities. For example, the silly straight man imitating Jacky Cheung in "Love is Like a Dream" and the undercover gangster who killed Tony Leung in "Infernal Affairs".

After the trial of several movies, Lin Jiadong has shown his ability to control complex roles.

But what really changed him was taking over the filming of Johnnie To 's "Underworld".

is also thanks to Andy Lau’s matchmaking. He has starred in several commercial films of Johnnie To and has a very close relationship with Sir To. When he learned that Sir Du was going to make an unusual gangster movie , he immediately recommended Lin Jiadong.

With his acting skills, he finally became the best actor

. Lam Jiadong lived up to expectations and delivered a vicious and terrifying character - "Dongguan Boy".

Of course, this has something to do with the training of director Johnnie To. Nick Cheung, who also acted in this movie, once said: After meeting Johnnie To, I really learned how to act. It can be said that I was completely transformed. The same is true for

for Lin Jiadong.

Compare the works before and after "Underworld", and you will find a change in him - he knows how to act with his eyes.

He is best at creating characters who are indistinguishable from good to evil and who hide deep evil. Sometimes without saying a word, he can intimidate people with his expressions.

This is the aura of an actor.

In 2017, Lam Jiadong won the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor for "The Big Tree Catches the Wind". Counting the time spent in artist training classes, it took 30 years for him to finally win the crown of Hong Kong movies. The lone gangster he plays is gloomy, cautious, vicious and ruthless, and is in no way inferior to any gangster character in film history. It is worth mentioning that this movie was also invested by Andy Lau.

So far, Lin Jiadong has participated in more than 100 film and television works. Now 53 years old, he is in a period of accumulation as an actor, and we look forward to him creating more classic roles.
