There is a small male star in Hong Kong who debuted at the same time as Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung and has participated in countless movies, but his experience is even more exciting than movies.
He witnessed the rise of Hong Kong films, and he also confirmed the glamorousness on the surface of the film industry and the darkness behind it; he is not handsome but romantic, and he is full of women's debts; he is chivalrous and has brothers everywhere, and he is respectfully called the eldest brother everywhere.
He is the representative figure of Hong Kong movies, Eric Tsang .
Zhi Wei was born in a wealthy family in 1953. His father Zeng Qirong was the "Inspector of China" of the Police Station. Hong Kong had not returned at that time. Under the leadership of the British legal system, the Inspector was the highest position that Chinese people could achieve, and they were in glory for a while.
It was a chaotic era. The police took both black and white, accepted bribes and fed their own pockets. As the detective, he could be said to have a hand covering the sky, and his connections were naturally very wide. Whether it was a business boss or a senior political official, or a community group or a family of religions, he had to give Detective Zeng a little face.
Andy Lau The Inspector Renault, who played in Hong Kong movies several times, is a character as famous as Zeng Qirong, which shows how great the influence of the police detective was at that time. It was also such a connection that provided a lot of convenience for Tsang Eric Tsang to develop in the entertainment industry later.
Also deeply influenced by his father is also football talent. Zeng Qirong loves football very much. He is not only a famous football player, but also a coach of the Hong Kong football team. Under the guidance of his father, Zeng Zhiwei represented Hong Kong to play the Youth Cup in South Korea at the age of 16.
1972, my father retired, and Eric Tsang met his father's friend Liu Jialiang and started playing tickets in the film and television industry.
Eric Tsang, who is a football player, is short but flexible and has agile movements. He works as a martial arts coach, stand-in, and technician in the crew. He has no worries about food and drink and simply regards this job as a game.
Two years later, Zeng Zhiwei retired from the football team and began to look for a job. At the age of 21, he still couldn't change his playful personality. There were only two requirements for finding a job, one was that there were too many people and the other was fun. The crew met these two conditions, and he entered the film and television industry again.
But Zeng Zhiwei, who has no other skills, can only be a martial artist and a stand-in for the actress. Without a slender figure and handsome face, Zeng Zhiwei could not get any main role, which inspired his self-esteem and was determined to write a script and explore the small characters.
At that time, what Zeng Zhiwei often did was to find a seat in the teahouse next to the dock, and to drink tea while observing the pedestrians coming and going. The dock was crowded with people and dragons and snakes, and Zeng Zhiwei accumulated a lot of character materials through such observations.
1977 Zeng Qirong's corruption was exposed and moved to Taiwan to live. Zeng Zhiwei started to travel between Hong Kong and Taiwan, while accompanying his family while doing his career. There are many small figures in his creations in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It can be said that Zeng Zhiwei's career started very much and was greatly influenced by his father. His father's connections helped him knock on the door to the entertainment industry and inherited his father's narrow personality.
Zhi Zhiwei has also made many friends in the circle, and his path is getting smoother and smoother. His father's legendary experience and Zeng Zhiwei's own efforts are the catalysts for his script creation.
was also the beginning stage of Hong Kong movies. On the one hand, the market was huge, and the Hong Kong speed of making a movie in a few days is still amazing. On the other hand, the capital of the movie has a gangster background, and both actors and directors are in control. As a newcomer in films with connections between black and white, Tsang undoubtedly encountered his best era.
In the early 1980s, Zeng Zhiwei joined New Art City and became one of the seven-member creative teams. The other six were Mai Jia , Shi Tian , Huang Baiming , Tsui Hark , Shi Nansheng , and Teddy Robin . Which one is taken out and is a big director and producer today.
Tsang Eric Tsang is not inferior to these people. The movie " Best Partner " directed by him created a box office miracle that lasted 34 days, setting the first shot for New Art City. Shaw Pictures and Jiahe Pictures, which fought against New Art City, both suffered a crushing defeat. John Woo is Tsang Eric Tsang's defeat.
Then Eric Tsang participated in the "Happy Ghost" series of movies, and was deeply rooted in the hearts of people with his timid, lustful and humorous comedy image. Eric Tsang began to have his own place in the film and television industry.
The decade from the 1980s to the 1990s was the ten years accumulated by Eric Tsang. During this period, he participated in recent dozens of movies and directed ten movies himself, but he was not satisfied with always playing comedy little characters. As a screenwriter, he has written countless characters.
He wanted to present the characters in his works to the audience through his performance. Although he was well-connected, due to his image limitations, he never received a suitable script.
In 1992, Eric Tsang and his friends Alan Tam and Maggie Cheung co-starred in " Two Cities Story " and won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor in for their outstanding performance. This is the first professional recognition that Zeng Zhiwei has obtained in his acting skills. At this time, he has participated in more than 200 movies.

At this time, Eric Tsang was proud and blossomed in full swing. He was not only the director, producer, screenwriter, and host, but also organized the establishment of an actor association and a Hong Kong star football team. He often spoke on behalf of the Hong Kong entertainment industry and became a representative figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Zeng Zhiwei did not stop the actors. He no longer blindly performed face-scanning performances and began to carefully select roles and scripts.
In 1997, the movie "Sweet Honey" starring Eric Tsang, Maggie Cheung and Lai Ming became a classic in art films. He also won the Best Supporting Actor Award for the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards for this film, and won the Best Supporting Actor Award for the Hong Kong Golden Bauhinia Awards.
Zhi Wei finally got rid of fast food movies and became a professional male actor with texture, acting skills, and his own characteristics. Since then, he still maintains a high-yield state and contributes many classic roles. He is the undercover brother Chen, who inserted the undercover into the police station in "Infernal Affairs".
He is the down-and-out male protagonist Yao Renbang who lost his job in the middle age and lost his wife and children in "The Golden Rooster". He is the Japanese officer Masao Wada in "The Trial of Tokyo". He is the boss of "Hao Le" who witnessed many stories in "Xinjiekou".
Today, when Zeng Zhiwei, who is in his sixties and seventies, is still filming constantly. The 2017 Italian Udian Far East Film Festival awarded him the Golden Sang Award for his lifelong achievements in recognition of his contribution to the film industry.
Tsang Zhiwei has always maintained a positive and fun mentality when he was young. He is half working and half entertainment. He not only acts in movies and acts as a producer, but also has no delay in hosting programs. He has developed with Hong Kong movies, but this is not the entertainment industry but his life.
As the film industry develops better and better, film production becomes more and more professional, actors and celebrities have become valuable commodities under capital packaging and are favored by stars. However, even if Zeng Zhiwei is the best actor, he still maintains his original state of going to the set. He often goes over to help when he says hello.
It is precisely because of love and being loved that Zeng Zhiwei can maintain high-yield output of his works.
, Zeng Zhiwei, who spent most of his life in the entertainment industry, had two well-known marriages. At the age of 21, he married his first wife, Wang Meihua, under the urging of his family, and his wife was only 18 years old at the time and was also a singer and dancer.
At that time, Eric Tsang was still a big boy. After the wedding, he was just drinking with his brother and didn't go home for three days. At that time, both of them were too young and did not understand the meaning of family. After marriage, they continued to be busy with their careers, and Eric Tsang was even more busy with their homes in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Finally, after the two gave birth to two daughters, the marriage that lasted only three years also came to an end. Zeng Baoyi and Zeng Yongyi's two daughters were also handed over to their grandparents to raise.
was a young love that was just a wedding dress. This marriage like playing house was like a dream. Zeng Zhiwei didn't know how to become a qualified husband. He did not bring a sense of security to his young wife. He could only have fun in his heart. Fortunately, many years later, he and Wang Meihua could become friends when they meet again, and bless each other with a smile.
In August this year, Zeng Zhiwei's second wife Zhu Xizhen died of cancer in Hong Kong. She is an outsider and Zeng Zhiwei has been separated for more than 20 years, but she is in charge of his financial power.
Zhu Xizhen was very low-key. She also quietly married into the Zeng family and gave birth to two sons, Zeng Guoxiang and and Zeng Guoyou.
At first, the two were also loving, but Zeng Zhiwei's fickle and playful nature could not be suppressed. He began to drink and mess around again, but Zhu Xizhen was very open-minded and took her two sons to study abroad. Regardless of Zeng Zhiwei's private affairs, the two began a marriage in name only.
What Zeng Zhiwei needs is such a wife. He is grateful to his wife for helping him educate his son well, and he also takes his children back to Taiwan to be filial to his parents-in-law regularly. He even maintains a good relationship with the daughter born to his ex-wife. He doesn't care about his private affairs. Zeng Zhiwei handed over all his wealth to her, and the two live a life of non-interference.
Although as a husband, Eric Tsang did not give his wife enough care, as a father, he made the best efforts.
Zeng Zhiwei has four children, among which Zeng Baoyi and Zeng Guoxiang are the most famous. Zeng Zhiwei has devoted himself to the career and dreams of these two children.
Zeng Baoyi grew up with her grandfather. She is a good child with both good character and academic performance. Zeng Zhiwei is busy with work and cannot go back to see her often. Every holiday, Zeng Baoyi will send greeting cards to her father.
One year Zeng Baoyi’s greeting card content was not a blessing but a movie hero. She hoped that her father would play a hero rather than a comedy character. This greeting card made Zeng Zhiwei determined to transform and he wanted to be the hero in his daughter's heart.
Zeng Baoyi was once scolded for interfering in the relationship between Xiao S and Huang Zijiao. It was Zeng Zhiwei who took his daughter's hand and took the initiative to face it, and even said that he had to talk with his daughter and Xiao S. At that time, Zeng Zhiwei was just an ordinary father, who was trying his best to protect his daughter.
Zeng Baoyi is also very successful and has become an artist in film and television and hosting. Even if he is 47 years old, Zeng Zhiwei just said that his daughter is happy.
Zeng Guoxiang is a famous director. He has won numerous awards for " July and Ansheng " and " Youth of You in the Boy ". Behind his directorial journey is his father's strong support.
Zeng Guoxiang debuted as an actor, honing his acting skills through small roles like his father, then writing scripts and becoming a director. Zeng Zhiwei spared no effort to help his son through his own connections.
"July and Ansheng" directed by Zeng Guoxiang invited the popular Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun , as well as Faye Wong's daughter Dou Jingtong to sing the theme song. Zeng Zhiwei even found friends Chen Kexin and Ng Junru to serve as the producer of his son's movie.
This movie was nominated numerous times at the Golden Horse Awards and contributed to the double film queen. Eric Tsang, who sat in the audience, was happier than his son, and jumped up and applauded with excitement. The little giant Zeng Zhiwei in front of his children has supported the most beautiful sky for them.
Zhi Wei is chivalrous and heroic, but he has also caused a lot of trouble because of his lust and playfulness. Among them, the Lan Jieying incident has been a stain that he cannot explain clearly.
, once beautiful, Lan Jieying, even in the entertainment industry where there are many beautiful women, is very outstanding, but due to her mental problems, her journey is bleak and she even stays on the streets.
The beauty's inflictment is easy to arouse sympathy, not to mention that it happens to entertaining characters, and the Internet's attack on Eric Tsang is constantly heard.
Tsang Eric Tsang once denied this matter, but later after Lan Jieying passed away, the incident was no longer clear. Tsang Eric Tsang himself had a lot of gossip. The often unrestrained jokes about the appearance and figure of female celebrities also made him more suspicious. The videos of humiliating Joey Yung and Anita Yuen were dug out again, and the greasy and lustful powerful bosses became the label that Tsang Eric Tsang could not get rid of.
is in sharp contrast to the scandal. However, the title of a loyal brother is the name of a loyal brother. Even after becoming famous, Eric Tsang did not have the airs of a celebrity. His friend opened a sauna. Alan Tam felt that it was unwilling to cut the ribbon because he did not say anything and did not take any penny to help him stand up.
For old friends who worked hard in the circle, they even ran over to help with one phone call. Eric Tsang is also the spokesperson for the death of Anita Mui and . He presided over Amei's funeral, held a concert for Amei's tenth anniversary, filmed a commemorative movie for Amei, and was the only one who could do this for his friends.
It is precisely because Zeng Zhiwei always puts his friends first that he responded to the Hong Kong entertainment industry. The Academy Awards were even ahead of the award ceremony one day because it coincided with Zeng Zhiwei's 60th birthday so that celebrities would not run away. The birthday banquet was no less than an award ceremony, with stars gathering together and endless stars.
Now Zeng Zhiwei is nearly 70 years old, and he still maintains his vigorous energy and is active in the entertainment industry. Recently, he has not yet become a trendy Douyin. Looking back at his fifty years of acting career, he has excellent actors, screenwriters, directors, producers, and hosts. He has had bad movies and excellent works, and has won awards after playing supporting roles. He is the development history of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
The hoarse voice and a small person became his symbols. From the little person who was ridiculed to the respected elder brother, Zeng Zhiwei will not comment on whether he will be glorious or dirty along the way. Only the works will be left to the world and will be commented on.
