The Hong Kong film industry in the last century was known as the "Oriental Hollywood". Not only was the annual output of works extremely considerable, but the number of filmmakers was also very large. After several waves of washing away the sand, some still called the wind and rain. They stood in the film industry and remained unsuccessful. Some chose to retreat in a certain period of time and were eventually covered by the dust of time.
The male actor in the article was very active in the 1960s and 1970s. He was not only the first disciple of Zhang Che, but also one of the earliest figures in the Hong Kong film industry who specializes in the role of police. However, due to his early retirement from the film industry, he also became one of the actors "covered by the dust of time", and he was Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong’s original name is Jiang Peijun. He was born in April 1947. He is originally from Shanghai. He is the brother of the well-known Hong Kong actor Wang Qing (Dakou Qing).
Wang Zhong worked in an acrobatic troupe before entering the industry. He joined Shaw Brothers Film Company as a martial artsman in the 1960s. Later, his mentor Zhang Che helped him participate in more than a dozen films including "The One-Armed Knife King", "The Iron Hands are Relentless", "Body Guard", "Thirteen Taibao", "Revenge" and "Ma Yongzhen", and together with Wang Yu, Zheng Lei and others, they were called the first generation of disciples of the Zhang family class.
Since the 1970s, Wang Zhong has not only continued to cooperate with Zhang Cheung, but also participated in many "Hong Kong Strange Case" movies, especially "Police" in 1973, which not only made him successfully transform into a fashion actor, but also laid the foundation for his image as a police officer on the screen, which also gave him sufficient confidence to direct several police and gangster films such as "Golden Finger", "Step the Line", and "Storm Car" in the 1980s.
Most movie fans regard Lee Xiuxian as the "professional police officer" in Hong Kong movies. In fact, Wang Zhong's police image became famous in the film industry earlier than him. In addition to "Police" back then, he played the role of an agent in Li's TV series "The Real Man" and "The Big Accuse", Chen Liji, the old miserable Chen Liji in the New Wave movie "Pointing to the Bingbing", and Chen Zhong in "The Enforcer", etc., are all deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In 1985, Lee Xiuxian's police and gangster film "Rogue Guard" also invited Wang Zhong to serve as the director, which shows his status as [leader].
Since entering the industry, Wang Zhong has planned and produced five films including "One Way Road" and "Blood in Blood", and has also directed seven works. However, except for the box office of "Long and Short Foot" (starring Chow Yun-fat and Wang Zuxian) in 1988, the box office exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars, the results of other films are barely strong and careless.
In the 1990s, Wang Zhong's film production began to drop sharply. His only work was "The Martial Arts Principal Su Qi'er" co-starring with Stephen Chow and Zhang Min. In the film, he played the role of Mo Laosan, the elder of the Beggar Gang who passed the dog-beating stick to Su Can, and then retired.
In 2005, Wang Zhong, who had been in the film industry for nearly 13 years, came out again at the invitation of director Johnnie To. He played the role of one of the "Heliansheng" talks in the first part of "Ho Society". At this time, Wang Zhong was gray and completely different from the once energetic police role. A few years later, Mai Junlong and Huang Jingfu invited him to play the action movie "The Defence Team: The Defence Team is Destined! friend! 》 (played as the owner of a tea restaurant), and disappeared again.
By this year, Mr. Wang Zhong is already 73 years old and has already passed the stage of pursuing fame and fortune. Perhaps for him, it is more important to live a peaceful life than to come back to film!
