met the actor Baiying at the party. He learned that he lived in seclusion in Shatin , and explained in detail the details of his cooperation with director Hu Jinquan .
The day is cloudy and the rain is continuous; the ground is slippery and the road is difficult to walk. When he drove to the club, the senior brother of Qi Xiaofu Wu Mingcai was there. A man was sitting next to him, tall, thin and clear, with a cold expression, a little familiar and unfamiliar, and couldn't remember it for a moment. Senior brother, what an elf, please tell me: " Shenxicheng , have you seen " Longmen Inn "?" After mentioning it, I remembered: Isn't this eunuch in the play Cao Shaoqin ? Eunuch Cao is polite! The eldest brother was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's him, Bai Ying!" Isn't he in Taiwan? Bai Ying said calmly: "I came to Hong Kong for 69 years and lived until now." I have been living in Xiangjiang for more than fifty years and have been a person in the film industry, but I have never met each other. What a strange thing! In the past thirty years, my body has disappeared, and I don’t know where I went? The eldest brother explained: "Baiying is not easy to socialize. She lives alone in , Shatian , and is happy. She only has to interact with me on weekdays." Baiying didn't say anything, but just smiled. Ask Gui Geng? Born in 4th year, he is from Beijing, and this year he is 81. We are the first among us and respectfully called Boss Bai. The filming of "Dragon Gate Inn" is only 25 years old, fifty-six years ago. His face is a little haggard, his eyes remain unchanged, and he is still as cold as yesterday. He lacks the evil and insidiousness in the movie and has more helpless vicissitudes.
81-year-old Bai Ying, with an intimidating momentum all over her body. When a senior film producer Wu Siyuan saw it, he immediately said: "Today, Hong Kong is filming underworld movies. The role of the godfather is the boss." The hawk's eyes are like a knife, and the person who touches the heart is chilling. It is not as good as the Marlon Brando in "The Godfather". It is indeed an actor who cannot be seen in a century. There are no Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is hard to find it in the mainland. Such talents have been hiding for decades, which is a waste of resources. Li Huimin Director recently planned to film "The Legend of New Longmen Inn". I had a sudden inspiration. Why don't you invite Boss Bai to come out and play Cao Shaoqin's father? I thought I was smart, but I touched the reef. What a great director Wu snorted coldly, "Shen Xicheng, you are stupid! Wouldn't it be better to ask Boss Bai to be Cao Shaoqin? Once you show your face, your aura will be suppressed and it will help you promote it!" One sentence woke up the dreamer, right, right, there is a Selling point. So he overcame the agent and begs Boss Bai to play. Bai Ying smiled speechlessly. The eldest brother is a worm in Baiying's belly and said, "If he doesn't speak, then it's OK!" So, Cao Shaoqin's role was temporarily finalized, and I have to admire Wu Siyuan's agility and deserves the reputation of a boy in the film industry.
"Longmen Inn" is Bai Ying's first performance, but he is very experienced and very experienced. Bai Yingqian said, "This is all planned by Director Hu, and I will only perform according to the rules." I thought Bai Ying was obsessed with 's seventh art , so she went to apply for a film company. Unexpectedly, he was young and frivolous. Back then, he only wanted to try the taste of a mirror, and never thought of becoming a star. When Hu Jinquan met him, he asked three questions and answered them one by one. Director Hu heard this and said, "You come to the Federal Company office building at 8 o'clock tomorrow night!" Bai Ying didn't care. The next night, he touched it and saw Hu Jinquan put two pieces of paper on his son and said, "You sign!" What's going on? Bai Ying was stunned. "If you want to be an actor, then sign it!" Bai Ying signed it without thinking.
On the second day, I went to work and didn't film. Instead, I made props and swords, wrapped wooden swords with aluminum light paper, and made them into real swords. I used them to shoot martial arts movies. I used the telescope wooden swords, and the close-up mirrors are used to use real goods. So, Bai Ying's daily job was to wrap his swords and do it for several months. One day, drama asked him to walk into the dressing room, and the female makeup artist personally put on makeup, drew his eyebrows and face, and finally put on a white-headed crown for him. (Why do you need to wear a white-headed crown?) I muttered in my heart, but I didn’t ask too much. Later I learned that in the movie, his role is a big eunuch who chased Zhongliang.Asked him that there was really no news at all beforehand? "No!" Bai Ying spread his hands: "Director Hu didn't tell us what to do. He was so special about filming. He never brought any notes or tools to the set, but just asked everyone to take their place. The photographer set the mirror position, the lighting engineer measured the lights, and the props master got the props, and asked the actors to rehearse one or two times, and said it was a dialogue, and it was OK, and it was a mic!" Bai Ying later took on films from other directors, and had never encountered such a free and easy way as Director Hu.
The federal company's pay is too small and it is difficult to support the expenses. Hu Jinquan went to Hong Kong to develop. In 1969, he came to Hong Kong alone, and the people and land were unfamiliar. Director Hu asked actor Feng Yi to take care of him. After Feng Yi arranged it, Bai Ying visited Run Run Shaw . "Boss Shao is very good and asked me to sign a long-term contract." Bai Ying Dutou (Shanghai language, meaning that it is not relevant to the current affairs), and only allowed to sign the department. He filmed a movie " Ghost Eunuch ", produced by Luo Wei and directed by Ye Rongzu, and was sold out in moderation. After a while, Hu Jinquan returned to Hong Kong. Bai Ying followed him and became a basic actor in King Quan Film Company. He played a major role and filmed " Yingchun Pavilion's Storm " and " Loyalty and Martyr's Picture ".
Until today, Bai Ying is still muttering about Hu Jinquan. Hong Kong director visited him and talked about their relationship as both teachers and friends, with tears in his eyes and sadness: "Director Hu and I later became confidants. He died too early, so we shouldn't have left so early!" When talking about Hu Jinquan's marriage, he shook his head. Later, Hu Jinquan met a female companion in Taiwan and had a very good relationship. Unfortunately, he died of illness in Taiwan due to a heart surgery error in 1997 at the age of 65.
I know Hu Jinquan when I was an editor at Dazhilu Publishing House in 1975. Jinquan Film Company was opened behind the publishing house, and next door was the car house run by Weng Wu. The three of us often to sacrifice . Later, he was going to South Korea to film "Empty Mountain Spirit Rain" and "The Storm of Yingchun Pavilion". Director Hu made room for the Laoshe column in the "Ming Pao Monthly" and I collected Laoshe information from Japan to fill the gap. After I came back, I asked him for his opinion: "It's good, it's pretty good." This inspired my desire to write.
Hu Jinquan's best friend is Li Hanxiang , supporting each other and teasing each other. In December 1996, Li Hanxiang suffered a heart attack and his soul was cut off from Beijing. Soon (April 1997), Hu Jinquan, who was in Taiwan, also left. When I was alive, a "Little Hu Xiao Hu" shouted; a "Han Xiang Han Xiang" shouted, which was so loud that it was so close to my brothers, and it was like a day when I didn't see her like three autumns. Today, the Kingdom of Heaven meets, why not join hands to create a "Longmen Fairy Tale" to fulfill the attempted ambition in the world? This year is Hu Jinquan’s 90 Mingshou . I would like to express my respect and longing for you with my little article Yaozhi ! Brother Hu, can you please drink one day?
