To be honest, I was a little caught off guard. I saw someone in the circle of friends commemorating Wu Mengda (Uncle Da), and confirmed the authenticity of the news as soon as possible. At that time, I really hoped that it was a rumor, but unfortunately, the news was true.
According to @The Paper and authoritative media, on February 27, Hong Kong actor Wu Mengda died of ineffective treatment of liver cancer at the age of 68. After confirming this news, I didn't believe it.
How can you leave just by saying that? Although Ng Mengda was seriously ill at the beginning, he was at least still alive, but now he has quietly left. From then on, Ng Mengda has no more Ng, only the classic supporting roles he left behind.
Frankly speaking, Ng Mengda is indeed an excellent actor. Without him, there might not be so many classics, and our childhood would not have been so much joy.
He and Stephen Chow are indeed a perfect combination, and their acting works have left us with full memories.
Regarding Wu Mengda’s memories, we are almost familiar with the days when we were with Stephen Chow. Before we met Stephen Chow, we were not familiar with him. After leaving Stephen Chow, we still had nothing to do with him. In other words, he and Stephen Chow achieved each other's peak in acting.
After the two separated, netizens hoped that they could cooperate again, but it was impossible now, and it became a lifelong regret for each other.
Today, Xiaobei sorted out Wu Mengda's life with a sad mood, hoping to evoke memories of his friends and let us always remember every classic he left in the world.
Ng Mengda’s life can be divided into three aspects. If Stephen Chow is taken as the node, it can be completely divided into before knowing Stephen Chow, after knowing Stephen Chow, and after leaving Stephen Chow.
Before meeting Stephen Chow
Zhang Ailing once said that you should become famous as early as possible.
In this regard, Ng Mengda did better than Stephen Chow. Ng Mengda became famous earlier than Stephen Chow. In 1979, Ng Mengda played the second male lead "Hu Tiehua" in " Chu Liuxiang " and became a hot star.
Becoming famous is a great thing for some people, but it is not a good thing for Ng Mengda, because he became famous too early, and he was completely alive in his own world.
At that time, many performances were looking for him. Because he was famous enough, many bosses coaxed him and gave him supreme respect. He was very popular at that time. In the eyes of many bosses, he was the God of Wealth. They called Uncle Da one by one, and were very pious.
At that time, Wu Mengda did have this capital. It is said that he toured Taiwan for a whole year and earned more than 100,000 US dollars. Because it was too easy to make money, Wu Mengda completely lost himself. At that time, he ate, drank, gambled, and died of drunkenness. He thought this kind of life would continue, but he didn't expect it to be just a dream.
Excessive indulgence made Ng Man-tat quickly suffer. He was penniless when he returned to Hong Kong. Of course, this was not the worst. Because he was hidden by TVB in Hong Kong, Ng Man-tat started gambling again. He quickly owed another 300,000 gambling debts in the casino, and was collected every day, living in a very painful life.
If you have been poor, there is nothing, and there is nothing to be rich all the time. What’s scary is that you were once very rich and suddenly have nothing, and that’s how Wu Mengda is.
During that time, he almost collapsed and even thought of suicide. It was during this period that Tony Leung became popular. week Runfa became popular, but his glory disappeared.
If he keeps like this, then he may not be able to leave so many classics for us. Fortunately, he met Stephen Chow, who is also a supporting role. From then on, they appreciate each other and opened a new era of Hong Kong movies.
and Stephen Chow collaborated with
After Stephen Chow and Ng Mengda became familiar with each other, the two often studied performances together and sought reality in life. They worked hard to polish their acting skills and forged a deep friendship.
Some people say that Stephen Chow is Ng Man-tat's noble person, but I think this is too one-sided, because from another perspective, Ng Man-tat is also Stephen Chow's noble person.
"Love the country and love beauty" has a lyrics: Of course, red flowers are matched with green leaves. Simply put, without the green leaves, the red flowers will not be so stunning.
Each of us is willing to be in the status quo and seeks opportunities to change our destiny, but you must know that opportunities are prepared for those who are prepared. If Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat have not carefully honed their acting skills, then even if the opportunity comes, they will not be able to seize it.
1990, theirs will come. Director Liu Zhenwei tailored a play for them - " Gambling Saint ". It is said that this movie was only filmed for a month, and there were no big-name stars. It was just that the two of them actually made the box office hit a new high. At that time, he defeated the same movie as Jackie Chan and and became everyone's favorite movie.
Because of this cooperation, they have made a total of 26 movies in the next 11 years, becoming popular big stars. Stephen Chow became popular at this moment, and Ng Mengda became popular.
I thought they would continue to work together until they could never make a movie again, but things were unpredictable. After filming "Shaolin Football" in 2001, they never cooperated again.
Later, Stephen Chow invited Ng Mengda when filming "Kung Fu" and "Mermaid", but he declined due to physical reasons. Netizens hoped that his health would be better and he would cooperate again, but unexpectedly this was the result.
As for why Stephen Chow didn’t cooperate with Ng Man-tat, we naturally have no way to know. Perhaps they all had no choice but to do so, because the era when non-cooperation belonged to them was gradually disappearing.
After leaving Stephen Chow
and Stephen Chow separated, Wu Mengda did not develop well. He used to consider scripts, but now he doesn't choose scripts directly. He takes almost all bad scripts. He was once the audience became the king of bad movies. Not only that, he also took on online game endorsements and live streaming sales, which was really bad.
Why is this happening? The reason is just for the sake of broken silver, but the broken silver can relieve the world's melancholy. Wu Mengda needs money too much, and the reason he needs it is because he has to raise too many people.
Anyone who knows Wu Mengda knows that he has rich feelings throughout his life, has had three marriages and five children. In addition to these, I also have to support my mother. To be simple, all the expenses are on him. When
becomes popular, several movies may make a lot of money, but if they are not popular, it will not be so easy to make money. If you want to maintain normal expenses, you can only accept bad scripts and endorse the game.
Ng Mengda's life was brilliant, but this glory came at a price. In order to live, he has been working hard to take on roles in his later years. This busyness has caused great harm to his body.
Two days ago, Wu Mengda suddenly felt heart discomfort at the work site, but he still insisted on completing the shooting. I thought it was a heart problem, but I didn't expect it was a liver problem. Once I discovered it, it was in the late stage. Although I had to rescue it with all my might, I was still unable to make it happen.
Now, Uncle Da has gone west. I hope he will walk well along the way and hope there will be no more pain in heaven.
