According to Hong Kong media reports, , one of the founders of , Shi Tian, , passed away in September. Shi Tian’s youngest son Dickson confirmed the news that his father died of cancer, saying that Shi Tian hoped to deal with his funeral in a low-key manner when he died. Therefore, his family did not announce the news of Shi Tian’s death. It was not until November 2 that the news of Shi Tian’s death was known to everyone.
Shi Tian’s former friend Huang Baiming also came forward to accept an interview and expressed respect for Shi Tian’s last wishes. He hoped that he would go well and would not hold a memorial service with a group of friends in Xinyi City for the time being. He planned to make arrangements after Shi Tian’s family finished handling the funeral.
Huang Baiming also revealed in the interview that he only found out that the other party was suffering from cancer when he contacted Shi Tian for the last time. At that time, Shi Tian said that he was still in the hospital for treatment and would make an appointment to drink coffee after the treatment was over. Huang Baiming didn't dare to bother the other party when he learned that his friend was seriously ill. Unexpectedly, when he learned about his friend's news, he was already separated forever.
After Shi Tian's death, actor Lin Junxian forwarded the death message on social platforms to mourn "God is jealous of talent", and director Wang Jing also posted a long article to express his feelings, "A Hong Kong filmmaker has left another powerful general."
Shi Tian is not a native of Hong Kong. He was born in Tianjin and moved to Hong Kong to live at the age of 3.
Because he loved acting and reading since he was a child, Shi Tian joined the South China Experimental Theater Troupe of Shaw Brothers in 1968 for training. As soon as he graduated, he starred in many films such as "Youth Love", "Peach and Plum Spring Breeze", " Northland Rouge ", and became popular after filming "Snake-shaped Hand" and "Drunk Fist" with Jackie Chan .
His most well-known character is the fourth master in " Heroes 2", and he is not inferior to the same stage as Zhou Runfa .
Later, Shi Tian was tired of working for the film company, so he simply formed his own company with screenwriter Huang Baiming and director Mai Jia . This was the original New Art City.
The team then expanded to seven people, adding Tsui Hark , Eric Tseng , Teddy Robin , and Shi Nansheng . These people have become the mainstay of Hong Kong movies and are known as the "Seven Monsters of New Art City".
They led New Art City to break the monopoly of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe on the Hong Kong film market at that time. All the comedy films were hits, and they also made Maggie Cheung , Wang Zuxian , Brigitte Lin , Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and others famous, and made outstanding contributions to the Hong Kong film industry.
It is sad that after the 1990s, Xinyi City disintegrated due to internal discrimination and other issues, and Shi Tian also retired from the entertainment industry and stopped being an actor.
Shi Tian's last public appearance was at the 2017 Academy Awards award ceremony. At that time, he was full of hair and his temperament was still there in a suit.
Although he always talks about "Hong Kong movies are dead", he really saw these former legends leaving us one by one, and realized that that era was really a thing of the past. I hope Shi Tian will go well!
