On the shadow of childhood, Hong Kong ghost movies must have names, and the various ghost elements in the film are memorable.
But there was a strange existence back then. It could obviously scare you, but it had to use horror elements to do the most funny behaviors to amuse you.
It is a zombie movie in addition to Yingshu , and is also listed as a family comedy movie " Happy Ghost ".
I have to say that this series is really the name of the film.
It will use a lot of novel and bizarre jokes that are beyond imagination, and paired with a cool plot, which will make the audience laugh. The biggest selling point of
is also its lineup.
Li Lizhen , Maggie Cheung , beyond and other big names participated, and leaders from Johnnie To and Tsui Hark participated in the production.
However, when it comes to the "Happy Ghost" series, it has to be said that its founder Huang Baiming is.
He is one of the rare characters in the Hong Kong entertainment industry who has multiple identities and identities.
As an indispensable starring role in this classic series, he became famous by this and created the New Art City Company.
later even produced excellent works such as Leslie Cheung , Zhou Runfa , beyond, "Best Partner", "The True Color of Heroes".
When New Art City emerged, he fought against it with his own strength. At that time, the two mountains of the Hong Kong film industry Shaw Brothers and Jiahe .
Among them, Huang Baiming made the greatest contribution. He knew the wise and loved talents. The nobles he promoted have now become successful.
However, Huang Baiming was also confused, Stephen Chow is the pearl of the vast ocean.
In terms of emotions, Huang Baiming's complaints are relatively large, which makes it hard to describe after reading them.
Now, let’s look back at the story of Wong Pai-ming, he is definitely a rare existence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
This time, let’s talk about Huang Baiming’s story.
01. The foreign bank manager gave up his high salary as a screenwriter
In 1947, Wong Pai-ming was born in Hong Kong. His first job was a foreign bank manager, with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan.
However, screenwriter is Huang Baiming’s dream, and he resolutely quit his job.
First worked at a radio station in Macau for a year, then transferred to the Hong Kong Youth Arts Drama Club and became a professional screenwriter with a monthly income of only 1,000.
I don’t want to have a good and high-paying job, but I just went to be a broken screenwriter. Wong Pai-ming was often criticized by people around me for being "ill".
But the parties involved don’t mind, no matter how hard or tired they are, they are happy.
At that time, Huang Baiming created during the day and rehearsed and performed with like-minded friends at night.
From teenagers to twenties, this boring life is repeated day after day.
Because the screenwriter's industry not only requires brain cells, but also has strong psychological tolerance, and faces the situation where the manuscript is often rejected.
So, no one wants Huang Baiming's script, so he went to film and enrich himself.
1970, Wong Pai-ming, who had worked in the drama club for three years, entered Hong Kong Radio.
In the same year, as an actor, he made his mark in the Hong Kong circle.
For 6 years, Huang Baiming has accumulated a lot of money and wrote a good book " Huang Feihong ", and his reputation as a screenwriter has become popular at this moment.
However, at this time, Wong Baiming was no longer satisfied with being a screenwriter.
html More than 0 years of hardship have earned a little fame. He felt frustrated and unwilling to accept it. In979, he founded the "Struggle" film and television company with Maijia and Shitian , and became capital.
Chapter 0 says, "Struggle" is not easy to start.
In Huang Baiming's words, it is: "The three of us cobblers can't afford to hire big stars, so we have to be the screenwriter, and they are actors."
It was not until the "struggle" had fresh blood that gradually became stronger, and the name was changed to the famous New Art City now.
The founder headed by Huang Baiming is called the "Seven Monsters of New Art City" by the outside world.
From 1980 to 1990, they made the company very popular for 10 years, and once they emerged, they competed with Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, the two overlords in the film industry at that time.
is hailed by us as the most classic best partner, happy ghost, heroic character, and prison storm series, which is a good movie that has been released in these ten years.
For viewers who love Hong Kong films, these are all indelible memories of youth in their personal hearts.
It can be said that the movies that were made famous by Xinyi City are basically written by Huang Baiming.
During the "Best Partner", he not only put in full force, but also invited the top singer in Hong Kong music scene, Xu Guanjie to star in it.
finally gave back his unique vision. The series created a box office record for Hong Kong films. ranked first with more than 26 million that year, and was the first Hong Kong film to exceed 20 million box office.
and the movie " Take the wrong car ", which is the most prominent tragic film produced by Xinyi City. It not only sells well at the box office, but also wins numerous awards.
Such a great work, Wong Bai-ming only took two days to finish it.
spent another night discussing the first half with the director, and then spent another night to formulate the second half after returning to Hong Kong.
I just wrote a few classic scripts without any trouble. I didn’t want to write them and went to act, and I also acted one by one.
Wang Baiming relied on his talent to become a highly respected boss in the Hong Kong circle.
02. "All-round talent" loves to support
1984, a movie "Happy Ghost" made Wong Pak-ming truly move from behind the scenes to front of the scenes.
Through this series, Wong Bai-ming created a precedent for new-style ghost movies and also made several newcomers famous.
is the heroines of the film. A total of three people form a "happy girl". Under the praise of Wong Pai-ming, there are both big-name movies, and the subsequent records released also received good responses.
Among them, Jacky Cheung’s wife Luo Meiwei is a member of the “Happy Girl”.
When he was young, he was signed by Huang Baiming at first sight and became lucky to become famous with the "Happy Ghost" series.
When beyond was still an unknown underground band, Wong Bai-ming took a fancy to their potential and signed it to Xinyibao Records Company, which was established after Xinyi City.
So, the countless beyond golden songs we hear are all created with the promotion of Wong Pai-ming.
Later, Huang Baiming also made beyond guest appearances in other movies such as " Happy Ghost Rescue Happy Ghost ", and became addicted to actors.
Fege Before performing in "The True Color of Heroes", he was known as the "box office poison".
The result is still Huang Baiming’s wise eyes and knows the beads. When all the film producers avoided Chow Yun-fat in time, he directly extended a helping hand.
Wong Baiming first tailored a movie " Aura " for Chow Yun-fat, and the box office successfully exceeded 10 million, which made the outside world admire Chow Brother.
The next movie "The True Heroes" not only won the box office championship that year, but also made Fa Ge the best actor at the 6th Academy Awards, completely causing him to remove the label of "box office poison".
"A generation of superstar" Leslie Cheung has always been an actor and singer under New Art City and New Art Bao.
"Brother"'s works needless to say, too many are too numerous to count, but if Wong Pai-ming had no appreciation and support, he would not have collaborated with his boss on the series "Happy Events in Family ".
Because Wong Pai Ming once said in person that although he created countless stars, he admired Leslie Cheung the most. He not only acted like anything, but also never put on airs.
In addition, Angelababy can play HantianHappy Events .
Donnie Yen breaks the bottleneck period and becomes a generation of "kung fu masters" Ip Man , which is all about Huang Baiming's words.
It is precisely because Huang Baiming is willing to give these potential newcomers opportunities that he has accumulated a high reputation in the circle.
Many artists who want to be celebrities or encounter difficulties in transformation, New Art City has become their first choice.
However, when Wong Baiming was also misunderstood, the unfortunate person was Stephen Chow.
When the other party transforms from a host to an actor, he intends to use New Art City as a springboard.
result was not taken seriously, and even when he went to the company, he didn't see Huang Baiming.
However, it is because he was not signed that Stephen Chow was the only one who was so beautiful.
In just a few years, he shined with his own star comedy.
The movie " Gambling Saint " caused a sensation in Hong Kong. After that, Stephen Chow became popular from Hong Kong to the mainland. Any drama with his name would not have a bad box office.
So, when Wong Pai-ming filmed "Happy Events in Family", he had to ask Stephen Chow to save the scene because of the actor's problem, but he asked for a price.
Huang Baiming knew that this was Stephen Chow's revenge on him, but later he felt relieved about this matter. The
92 version of Home Youyou has a big box office success, and it became the second place in the top ten top-selling movies in Hong Kong that year with 49 million.
There was a happy event in the second part of the filming, and Wong Pai-ming and Stephen Chow let go of their grudges.
He directly hired Star Chow for a high salary of 15 million yuan.
Because I tried it once, I knew it was a great deal.
03. A successful career person, a scumbag in love, and a prodigal son who turned back
17 when he was 17 years old, Huang Baiming and his colleague Xu Wenjuan walked together.
The two of them were ignorant at that time, but they were just young people who had just graduated from school and entered society.
But after just a few months of love, I met my parents. I naively thought that they were true love, so I made a marriage contract.
After 7 years of long-distance love, Huang Baiming and Xu Wenjuan got married. The couple in the wedding photo is like a child who deliberately put on adult clothes, everything seems so immature.
In the words of the woman, they walked into the marriage grave in a daze.
After marriage, I am not like falling in love, but I am surrounded by sweetness all day long, but facing a mess.
Soon, problems with Huang Baiming and Xu Wenjuan arose.
After a stable life, when Huang Baiming wanted to change careers and become a screenwriter to make a movie, Xu Wenjuan was the first to stand up and disagree.
She was afraid that the entertainment industry mixed with dragons and snakes would pollute her husband, but in the end she compromised for Wong Pai-ming's dream.
However, after that, the couple spent less and less time together.
What’s more fatal is that becoming a celebrity is inevitably entangled with gossip.
Although Xu Wenjuan deliberately avoids all gossip magazine news and closes herself in her personal world, relatives and friends around her will always use it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
Once, a friend cut out Huang Baiming's scandal news and criticized her in front of Xu Wenjuan, letting her talk about her feelings.
In this way, Xu Wenjuan's psychological defense was completely broken.
She is naturally sensitive and suspicious, and she started to call Huang Baiming to check jobs every day. If she is not careful, she will pull her husband's braid.
Gradually, the couple quarreled every three days and quarreled every five days, which became common. In this case,
also gave Wong Pai-ming the opportunity to cheat.
Not only that, even his works also incorporate a large number of elements of cheating.
It’s like saying that there is a happy event in the family. All the problems encountered by the eldest son played by Wong Pai-ming are related to extramarital affairs.
Sure enough, art comes from life!
Since learning that he cheated, many viewers have greatly reduced their impression of him, and since then, Wong Pai-ming has become a "scumbag".
And my wife was so sad and angry that she couldn't think of her meal.
But even so, Huang Baiming was too lazy to go home. He hid on the set all day long, spent all his time after work, and was planning to divorce Xu Wenjuan.
However, seeing his daughter crying all day long, hoping that he and Xu Wenjuan would not be separated, Huang Baiming was unable to make up for it in the end. After
, Huang Baiming took the initiative to cut off his extramarital affair and returned to his family. It was not love, but because of his responsibility to the children, he chose to continue to maintain superficial harmony with his wife.
In June 1970, Huang Baiming learned that Xu Wenjuan had sudden bloating and needed surgery.
Xu Wenjuan's belly is very big, just like she is pregnant for 10 months.
The doctor told him to be mentally prepared because he had stage 4 ovarian cancer and his life would be in danger of his life during the operation.
At this time, a trace of evil thought flashed through Huang Baiming's mind, believing that this was God giving him a chance to do it again.
However, when he returned home, he saw the family photo placed in the living room, and couldn't help but burst into tears and began to curse himself as the most selfish man in the world.
Huang Baiming quickly sorted out his mentality and decided to let his wife survive no matter whether he lost everything or his future was ruined.
04. A couple who are inseparable from each other is inseparable from each other.
Huang Baiming has been very concerned about Xu Wenjuan's illness. Please ask the best doctor and use the best medical resources.
I heard that Chinese medicine is effective, so he would try the medicine himself and let his wife take it if he feels it’s okay.
After Huang Baiming's careful care, Xu Wenjuan's body had a miracle. She was originally covered in tubes and could walk normally.
Huang Baiming didn’t know which one would come first tomorrow or accident, so he took his wife on a family trip.
He would measure Xu Wenjuan's belly with a tape ruler every day. It was not until September that the real miracle happened.
The doctor said that all the rotten cells in the past ran away, and the tumor that was originally 9 cm large turned into a small acne, which means that Xu Wenjuan has almost recovered.
In 2012, Huang Baiming wrote this experience into a book.
has been eating and drinking and being taken care of like a "fool". Only then did Xu Wenjuan realize that her husband had paid so much for her.
Both parties began to reflect on the inappropriate things they did in their marriage back then.
The woman got rid of her sensitive problem, and the man never let his wife down again. They fell in love again and were inseparable.
In 2015, Huang Baiming appeared on a variety show rarely and presented a surprise to his wife.
After 45 years of marriage, this is the first time that Wong Pai-ming cooks for his wife.
I saw him put on the chef's clothes and followed the master to prepare a pizza flying cake that seemed simple and actually was difficult. After
, Huang Baiming changed back to a decent suit and waited nervously for the heroine.
When Xu Wenjuan arrived as promised and saw everything her husband prepared for her, she was shocked and happy, and moved.
This old couple, over 60, finally hugged each other affectionately, as if their love was invincible.
Now, although Wong Pai Ming has retreated behind the scenes, his contribution to Hong Kong movies is indelible.
is respectable, and also based on personal experience, I have reminded everyone of emotional emotions, that is, never let down the person who truly loves you!
