In 2021, many people left, and many things happened. Among the people who left, there was an actor named Ng Mengda . This actor, who has never played the protagonist in his life, is a star in the hearts of many people. Wu Mengda's most glorious years were his 10 years of partnering with Stephen Chow and . As an old actor who is nearly 10 years older than Stephen Chow, Ng Mengda had already achieved some success in the 1970s. Because his classmates in the actor training class had big shots in the film industry such as Zhou Runfa and Lin Lingdong , Ng Mengda's early career development was also smooth. If it continues to develop according to the initial situation, it is estimated that Ng Man-tat would not have too deep "chemical reactions" with his younger generation Stephen Chow.

Destiny is an unimaginable thing, especially for Ng Man-tat. After a smooth development, Ng Man-tat lost his career direction under the impact of material desires. So for a period of time, Wu Mengda himself no longer had the direction of his life. Later, with the help of his friends, Ng Mengda returned to the entertainment industry. After returning again, as a former veteran actor, Ng Mengda could only do some supporting roles. In order to live, Ng Mengda could only be willing to do these not-so-glorious jobs. At this time, Ng Mengda, who was in a low period of career, met the depressed Stephen Chow.

is different from Ng Mengda. After entering the entertainment industry, Stephen Chow has been on the edge. When Tony Leung, who debuted together, had become the " wireless five tigers ", Stephen Chow could only be the host of children's programs. Although he was full of dreams, Stephen Chow still couldn't find a breakthrough in his career. At this time, Stephen Chow met Wu Mengda, an important nobleman in his life. The two people's love for acting is deeply rooted in their souls. They often study how to perform together during the breaks of filming TV series. Due to continuous exploration and practice, while combining the experience of their ancestors, the two quickly explored a new set of performance methods. In the words of Ng Man-tat, their performance characteristics are mainly anti-traditional.

The father-son relationship performed by the two is separated from the seriousness of the traditional father-son relationship. They interpret the father-son more like a pair of friends. In the tacit cooperation between the two, they have made new explorations in traditional performance methods. With the blessing of this new performance method, Stephen Chow quickly broke through his career bottleneck. In the early 1990s, Stephen Chow became one of the most successful film stars in the Hong Kong film industry. Due to its outstanding box office appeal, Stephen Chow's status can be on par with veteran superstars such as Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan , Jet Li overnight. At this stage, Ng Mengda became an indispensable "scenery" in Stephen Chow's films.

The partner of Stephen Chow and Ng Mengda is one of the most classic golden partners in the Chinese film industry. The performance of the two is full of tacit understanding. This tacit understanding not only comes from the two's years of cooperative relationship, but also comes from their deepest souls, their attitude towards life and work. During Stephen Chow's acting career, Ng Mengda has participated in almost one of Stephen Chow's most classic works. The most representative ones include the "American Journey to the West", which is known as the pinnacle of nonsense, the movie " King of Comedy " with autobiographical nature, and the later Stephen Chow's transformational work " Shaolin Football ". The successful exploration of "Shaolin Football" also laid the technical foundation for Stephen Chow's successful creation of the movie "Kung Fu".

But what makes movie fans sigh is that "Shaolin Football" is actually the last work of Stephen Chow and Ng Mengda. In the 20 years since then, Ng Mengda never appeared in Stephen Chow's movies again. It is slightly different from Stephen Chow's brilliant film career, Ng Mengda has been playing the role of Green Leaf all his life. As the gold medal green leaf in the Hong Kong film industry, Wu Mengda not only achieved good results in cooperation with Stephen Chow, but also had wonderful cooperation with superstars such as Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau , Shi Xiaolong . His recent impressive work is his participation in the milestone work of "The Wandering Earth", a domestic science fiction film.When this film was released, it happened to be against the movie " New Comedy King " directed by Stephen Chow.

is just this encounter, and the two former partners have become opponents now. Stephen Chow and Ng Mengda have responded to rumors about why the two stopped working together after "Shaolin Football". Although both of them are avoiding their conflicts, there is one fact that deserves attention from movie fans. That is, after a period of development, the status of the two has changed differently. Through early accumulation, Stephen Chow gradually became an actor and upgraded to the director and the boss behind the movie. Wu Mengda himself has always insisted on the role of an actor. Different development directions also destined to conflicts in the relationship between the two.

So later Stephen Chow asked Wu Mengda to cooperate with him, but there was actually not much problem. After all, the two are already in different social situations and different career demands. However, during the period before his death, Wu Mengda repeatedly emphasized in an interview that as long as he does not die and Stephen Chow has not retired, the two will definitely have a chance to cooperate. However, Wu Mengda's wish became an eternal regret with his death. This regret is not only Ng Man-tat himself, but also Stephen Chow and many movie fans.

Also as iconic figures in the Hong Kong film industry, Stephen Chow and Ng Mengda represent two different groups. Stephen Chow can be a representative of inspiration. Through hard work, he achieved his career and realized his dream of a movie star. Wu Mengda is the kind of representative who is willing to be a green leaf. He does not seek to become a big hit in his life, but wants to complete his work diligently. Compared with Stephen Chow, Ng Mengda represents a larger part of the Hong Kong film industry actors. These people may not have great fame in their lives. They are willing to play repeatedly for many big stars. As Wu Mengda said in an interview, he had to go to several sets a day when he was the busiest.

This is a portrayal of his lifelong work. Ng Mengda has worked with many movie superstars, and in his life, he has only won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards . However, Wu Mengda has become the memory of many viewers for Hong Kong movies. In the world of light and shadow, Wu Mengda, like Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, is an outstanding representative of Hong Kong movies. Without Wu Mengda's contribution, the achievements of these superstars, and the glory of Hong Kong movies for decades.

Now, with the departure of Ng Mengda and others, Hong Kong movies have really gone to a dimness. As early as 20 years ago, some people began to criticize Hong Kong movies, but because of the persistence of Ng Mengda and others, Hong Kong movies are still a force that cannot be ignored in the Chinese film industry. However, with the departure of these old actors, Hong Kong movies are destined to become history, and eventually they will become the most brilliant memory in the Chinese film industry.
