At the 2019 Hong Kong Film Awards, a male actor said this on stage: "The older you are, the more panicked you are, because when you are middle-aged, you are most afraid of not achieving anything."

At the 2019 Hong Kong Film Awards, a male actor said this on stage: "The older you are, the more panicked you are, because when you are middle-aged, you are most afraid of not achieving anything."

This sentence actually "hits" many people's hearts.

Yes! Nowadays, when many people open their eyes every day, they start to work hard for "mortgage loans", "car loans" and "family". Reality has wiped out the dreams of "youth" by many people. As they get older, they find that they have done nothing. Although they are still so hard on the surface, they are so hard that they can't sleep when it's late at night.

Actor, this seemingly "advanced" profession is actually a "poor path". How many people have exhausted their youth on the "road" of actors and have only barely managed to make ends meet. As for fame and fortune, they dare not think about it.

This male actor said at the Academy Awards , not only expresses his own current situation, but also expresses the reality that many people dare not "face up to it". This male actor is Yuan Fuhua .

Among the "late-achieving" actors, many people say that Zhang Jiahui is the representative of it. She became an actor at the age of 20 and ushered in the "Neck Kar-hui era" at the age of 41. In terms of "fame achievements" and "box office appeal", Zhang Jiahui is indeed the "big guy".

When you understand Yuan Fuhua, you may also look at this "old actor" with admiration

Yuan Fuhua, who has been poor since childhood, has been working half a job since childhood. He knew that he had made money to support his family at a young age. Later, his family really couldn't afford the tuition. Yuan Fuhua, who had just finished junior high school, knew his parents' hardship at that time, so in order not to make things difficult for his parents, he dropped out of school and went to work in society.

Because he was very young at that time, Yuan Fuhua could only do some casual work, such as washing dishes in restaurants, cleaning warehouses, etc. Although it was hard, he was very happy every time he got the wages and saw his parents' smile.

1988, one day, Yuan Fuhua saw a Hong Kong drama troupe recruiting amateur actors, and went there with a try-making attitude. Later, he joined the drama troupe as he wished. After that, Yuan Fuhua started from low to performing on stage. It took Yuan Fuhua 5 years to get his own position in the drama troupe, and he followed the drama troupe to performing abroad on behalf of Hong Kong twice.

After years of troupe performances, Yuan Fuhua has accumulated rich performance skills, but due to his low education, he has always affected his development. Later, with the recommendation of the head of the troupe, Yuan Fuhua studied at the "Performance Department" of the University of Hong Kong and obtained a "master's degree".

1999, Stephen Chow prepared the movie " King of Comedy ". Every movie in Stephen Chow has a characteristic, which is to select actors for the roles. This "King of Comedy" is no exception. At that time, Stephen Chow also went to the troupe where Yuan Fuhua was in to select actors. It happened that someone was performing on the stage at that time. It was this coincidence that Stephen Chow fell in love with Yuan Fuhua on the stage at first sight.

After stepping down, Stephen Chow sent an invitation to Yuan Fuhua. At that time, Yuan Fuhua was very hesitant because he felt that he had never acted in a movie and was very stressed. But the head of the drama troupe privately told him: "Many people want to have the opportunity to work with Stephen Chow. If you have this opportunity, don't push it. Go and try it!"

In this way, Yuan Fuhua completed his movie debut and played the underworld boss at the end of the movie in "The King of Comedy", and his sentence: "Aren't you a takeaway?" was also remembered by many viewers.

However, Yuan Fuhua did not use this cooperation with Stephen Chow as a "springboard", and he honestly returned to the drama troupe to continue his work.

In fact, since 199, with the development of film and television, all Hong Kong drama troupes began to "decline" and their performances decreased a lot. During this period, many drama troupe actors changed careers. In order to support their families, Yuan Fuhua also made a decision when she was 33 years old - to become an actor.

Louis Koo : Brother Hua (Yuan Fuhua) deserves his reputation for being the "Best Supporting Actor", Andy Lau : If Yuan Fuhua does not win the "Best Supporting Actor", then " Bomb Disposal Expert 2" will not need to be filmed.

33 years old This age is already a difficult hurdle for the entertainment industry that is "youth" and is also the "golden end" of an actor, not to mention that he debuted at the age of 33. It is conceivable how courageous Yuan Fuhua had to make this decision at that time.

may be because he entered society since childhood, making Yuan Fuhua look very "old". He is 33 years old, but he looks like he is 43 years old.

Due to age and appearance issues, Yuan Fuhua's career as an actor is very unhappy. Several Hong Kong TV stations are unwilling to sign a "newcomer" in their thirties. Fortunately, Yuan Fuhua has the title of "Master of Performance", so education is still very important) and has also won him the opportunity to be a "special actor" on the TV station.

Even though Yuan Fuhua is willing to be a supporting role and a green leaf, he has very few opportunities. Although the supporting role of Green Leaf seems to be a small role, the competition for this "post" is no lower than the protagonist, because major TV stations also have many senior actors of Yuan Fuhua's age.

It was like this, several years passed intermittently. At this time, Yuan Fuhua's age was over 40 years old. He also thought of giving up and becoming an actor, and then finding a stable job to "for the rest of his life". Later, Yuan Fuhua's other half gave him encouragement, expressing his belief in him and not giving up.

Finally, in 2016, Yuan Fuhua waited for an opportunity. The movie " Trees Try Wind " was preparing to start in Hong Kong at that time. The starring actors such as Lin Jiadong , Richie Richie , Chen Xiaochun , etc. have all been confirmed. One day, Yuan Fuhua received a call, which roughly means that a character in the movie "tree Wind" wanted him to come and try the show. In this way, Yuan Fuhua played a bribe-taking official "Chen Ke".

Because of this opportunity, Yuan Fuhua also figured out a truth: TV series are all in the era of idols, and the older they are, the fewer opportunities they are. However, due to the theme factors of the movie, even if they are older, there are still opportunities, because the characters match . Since then, Yuan Fuhua began to develop into the film industry.

2017 Hong Kong Film Awards, Louis Koo's favorite player Jiang Haowen was both shortlisted for the "Best Actor" of the Academy Awards for "The Great Trees Came to Wind" and "The Great Musician: Soundtrack for Love", but unfortunately he lost to Eric Tsang 's "Sleepless Night" by Eric Tsang . At that time, he went on stage to receive the award, Eric Tsang said a very ironic sentence: "Hizai , there are many dramas, I will kill you ten movies in one movie."

Although Jiang Haowen generously said afterwards: "I understand Zhiweigra wants to encourage me, I know" . It can also be regarded as giving Zeng Zhiwei a step forward. However, as the boss, Louis Koo heard Tsang say this in the audience. Although he smiled, his face was obviously unhappy.

Therefore, in 2018, Louis Koo directly invested in two movies to promote Jiang Haowen, namely " Cuisi " and "Movie Maniac". Since the themes of these two movies are not mainstream commercial movie , it is almost certain to lose money. So when the media interviewed , Louis Koo said: "I hope everyone can see Jiang Haowen's acting skills. He can not only play supporting roles, but also play the leading role."

Later media also said: Louis Koo must also exert his anger for Jiang Haowen regardless of cost.

Of course, Louis Koo did not make it clear that it was because of Eric Tsang's award speech at the Academy Awards that he made the decision to promote Jiang Haowen on the show, but this decision "made it" for Yuan Fuhua.

"Tuesi" is a transgender "transgender" theme work. It mainly tells the story of the male protagonist played by Jiang Haowen who has a family after getting married, but he has always "years for" himself to become a "woman". In the movie, Jiang Haowen and Hui Yinghong play the couple in , , and the two have a "collapse crying scene". The wife is unwilling to divorce her husband for the sake of her family, and her husband wants to become a "real woman". It can be said that their acting skills are impeccable.

Aside from Jiang Haowen and Hui Yinghong, Yuan Fuhua, who played the supporting role "Brother Dingling" in the movie "Tuesi", also "snatched the show". In order to play this role well, he really made friends with many "transgender people" and guessed their "words and deeds" through communication, including the inner feelings of changing their "new identity".

Originally, the movie "Chisi" was Louis Koo who wanted to win the "Actor of the Actor", but unfortunately, "Chisi" was not shortlisted for the "Best Actor/Female Supporting Actress" and "Best Screenwriter" were also shortlisted for the 2018 Golden Horse Awards and the 2019 Golden Horse Awards.

and Yuan Fuhua also became the "best male supporting actor" on the stage. He was very excited and said: I am a native actor in Hong Kong. The art of Hong Kong film accompanied me to grow up. I witnessed the glory of Hong Kong films. If I were to become an actor, part of the reason is that Hong Kong films were able to win the glory of this actor at the Academy Awards. I have persisted for more than 30 years, so I was very excited and moved to be able to go to the podium this time.

Lou Tianle was not present on the day Yuan Fuhua received the award in Taiwan, but the organizing committee connected Louis Koo. When he learned that Yuan Fuhua won the "Best Supporting Actor", Louis Koo smiled and said: Brother Hua (Yuan Fuhua) deserves his reputation for "Best Supporting Actor".

On the day of the Hong Kong Academy Awards, the media also asked Andy Lau as a judge "Do you think Yuan Fuhua can continue the good luck of the Golden Horse Awards?" And Andy Lau also joked about : "My new movie "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" invited Yuan Fuhua to star. If he did not win the "Best Supporting Actor" tonight, then "Bomb Disposal 2" would not need to be filmed."

Although it is a joke, Yuan Fuhua later played a supporting role in "Bomb Disposal 2". In terms of weight, it is not enough to influence the filming of the movie, but it can be seen that Andy Lau really "recognizes" Yuan Fuhua's performance.

and Taibao performed with each other in the "comrade" movie " Uncle. Uncle ", but unfortunately they missed the "Best Actor" Award for Golden Horse Awards. Although they lost, they successfully signed Louis Koo's "World One"

As they won the "Best Supporting Actor", Yuan Fuhua gradually made a big splash in the film industry. 2018 was his busiest year. He also wandered around multiple crews and starred in 6 movies in a year.

2019, Yuan Fuhua was 54 years old, and he was almost retired at this age. Regarding this question, Yuan Fuhua also expressed to the media: "This age is just right, and my career as an actor has just begun."

Soon, Hong Kong new director Yang Yaokai found Yuan Fuhua and said that he had watched his "Tuesi" and acted very well. He said that he had a work of similar themes in his hand, and asked Yuan Fuhua if he was interested.

When Yuan Fuhua finished reading the concept of the work and read half of the script, he hesitated. Because this "Uncle Uncle" is not only a simple theme of "old gays", but also several bed scenes and kiss scenes of two "old gays". This scale is much higher than "Tues".

However, when he learned that the actor who played another "old gay" was Taibao, Yuan Fuhua agreed.

At first, the first actor that director Yang Yaokai thought of was Taibao, and he flew to Taiwan to communicate with Taibao. At first, Taibao opposed it, and the reason was the same as Yuan Fuhua. It was too large and it was difficult to accept it at the age of time. In the end, Taibao's wife convinced him to star in the role.

In October 2019, the movie "Uncle Uncle" appeared on behalf of the Chinese-language film at the "Busan Film Festival", which not only received flowers and applause, but also made Taibao and Yuan Fuhua famous in Korea.

2020, the movie "Uncle Uncle" was officially released in Hong Kong in May, and Taiwan successively achieved both reputation and box office successive results. The Douban score was as high as 7.6 points, and more than 40,000 people scored a 4.0 rating. This evaluation is already very impressive for a movie with a special theme.

in the movie Taibao and Yuan Fuhua are just right, but they don’t feel uncomfortable to watch. Both of them convey the desire to be loved. So when you look at the 60-year-old Taibao and Yuan Fuhua, put aside all secular prejudices and snuggle together to hold on to each other and hold on to the “happiness of late”.

The two conquered the Golden Horse Award judges with their superb acting skills that were not superficial in "Uncle. Uncle". Both were shortlisted for the "Best Actor" of the Golden Horse Awards in 2020. In the end, Taibao won the grand prize with "higher skills".

Personal opinion, the flat-headed brother thinks that Yuan Fuhua acts better, and that kind of "shyness" is very natural, and every look reveals something, and this acting is not simple.

Perhaps it was the reason why Yuan Fuhua had won the "Best Supporting Actor" with a similar movie "Tuesi"! So this time the Golden Horse Awards did not favor him again.

Although he missed the "Best Actor" trophy, Yuan Fuhua's "good luck" has just begun.

Not long after returning to Hong Kong from Taiwan, Yuan Fuhua successfully joined Louis Koo's "World One". At this point, he is no longer the "Yuan Fuhua" who refused to sign the contract with Hong Kong TV station .

Louis Koo opened the show and promoted Yuan Fuhua and designated his new movie "The Jokes" to sprint for the 2022 Academy Awards

who said that 57 years old must be the age of "end of the West", Yuan Fuhua was the first to refuse, and Louis Koo, as the boss, did not agree. So after signing the contract, Louis Koo started to help Yuan Fuhua's acting career.

In the first half of 2021, Yuan Fuhua first made a guest appearance in "Hong Kong film box office champion" "Serious Case of Rage".

and then played the leading role in " Hand Cigarette " released in September. This "all-member evil" movie brings together a group of actors with extremely high "cost-performance ratio" such as Lin Jiadong, Yuan Fuhua, Taibao, Baizhi , Qian Xiaohao , etc.

Currently, this movie has been shortlisted for the 7 grand prizes of the 2022 Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards . With the market reaction and reputation of "Hand Cigarette", at least half of these 7 grand prizes will be won by this movie.

According to statistics, in 2022, Louis Koo will have 9 movies starring in it, but he designated Yuan Fuhua's upcoming movie "The Joke" to represent the "World One" to compete for the Academy Awards. Just look at this point, you can know that Louis Koo is very "reassuring" about Yuan Fuhua's performance.

In February 2020, Yang Shoucheng and Louis Koo discussed the topic of "how to save Hong Kong movies", so in May 2020, the two in Hong Kong said in high profile: Emperor and the world's first two film and television companies have joined forces to cooperate with 10 pure Hong Kong movies in two years.

And this "Joker" is one of them.

movie story: Revolving around the story of a single-parent father, Brother Hua (Yuan Fuhua), who is slightly mentally retarded, who works hard to get his eldest son Wen Shao. It shows the "difficult" of a single-parent family and the "impact" it has on the children from multiple angles. There are laughter and tears in it, and it conveys many positive ideas.

Although this "The Joke" is a low-cost work, the "warm tragedy" cannot be underestimated. Moreover, the movie itself expresses a "single parent phenomenon" and has certain educational significance. Although the movie has not been released yet, it is said that Yuan Fuhua's "cry scene" in it is very outstanding.

It seems that Yuan Fuhua has a "profession" at the 2022 Academy Awards.

Summary: Perhaps not everyone has Yuan Fuhua’s “fortune”, but his achievements today cannot be separated from “persistence”. When you read Yuan Fuhua’s experience, can you learn something from him?
