In the 1980s and 1990s, the Hong Kong film industry was full of talents, and the replacement and elimination of movie stars were very intense.
For example, Leung Ka Fai made his debut as an actor, but after a period of time, he went to the street to set up a street stall;
Donnie Yen was hit by the fire of "Jingwumen", but due to poor image management, he could not receive dramas, so he had to go to Hollywood to develop .
Big-name movie stars like Jackie Chan , Stephen Chow are also afraid of being stereotyped by their roles, and constantly try to play roles that change their images.
and often act as a villain in movies, it is considered a "big taboo". Not only is the salary generally lower than that of the leading actor, but it is also easy to be defined as a villain actor, and it is difficult to turn over in the entertainment industry.
But there are also special cases . Some excellent movies will work hard on the script to give each character a distinctive character.
Aiming at the villain in the film, it will also be carefully shaped to construct a unique, characterful and plump character image, so that the audience can deeply feel its powerful aura, distinct personality, or its richness. connotation.
For example, the top ten Hong Kong movie classic villains, each of which is unforgettable.
to see if there are any characters you like -
(note: the following rankings are in no particular order)
10, Wan Ziliang, classic villain: Deng Jiayong Just like , she can comb her big back, and she can suppress Chow Yun-fat's movie star with a powerful aura.
In " Jianghu Love 2: Heroes ", Wan Ziliang and Chow Yun-fat had a meeting in a nightclub. The villain Deng Jiayong played by Wan Ziliang played on the scene with a madness, killing Chow Yun-fat's protagonist Li Aji to death suppress.
Looking back at the series "Jianghu Love", Wan Ziliang, who was the eldest brother in the Hong Kong film and television industry at that time, voluntarily gave up the male No. 2 Lin Dingguo in the film and chose to play the villain Deng Jiayong.
One is to support the younger generation Andy Lau;
is unwilling to repeat the image of a good person created before;
"Jianghu Love" is a Hong Kong-made gangster film created by McDonald's and Huang Tailai imitating the "Godfather" series.
In these two works, the male lead Li Aji and the male lead Lin Dingguo are both face-masked images, but the villain Deng Jiayong grew up from a small gangster to a big crocodile, with a gradual growth process.
Wan Ziliang is a good actor who can control both positive and negative roles, and can seamlessly switch between small people and big people.
In the film, he vividly showed Deng Jiayong's shameless and vulgar conduct, his willingness to retaliate, and his ruthlessness by any means necessary to achieve his goals.
With this role, Wan Ziliang is well-deserved to be on the list, and there are many classic roles he has created, such as Tony from " Mong Kok Carmen ", Wu Jincheng from " Big Head Boy ", and Jiang Tianyang from "Young and Dangerous" series Wait.
9, Brigitte Lin , the classic villain: Undefeated in the East well known to the audience.
It wasn't until she met Tsui Hark in the 1980s that she slowly discovered her neutral side, especially in "Dao Ma Dan", where she debuted with short hair, which made people shine.
In 1992, Tsui Hark and Ctrip Xiaodong filmed " Swordsman
: The East is Invincible", Tsui Hark decided to let Lin Qingxia play the role of the East invincible, which made Jin Yong very dissatisfied, and made a special call to express his firm disagreement.
Under Tsui Hark's insistence, Brigitte Lin was under tremendous pressure in the end to create an undefeated image of the East that amazes the entire Hong Kong film industry.
In the novel, the undefeated old man in the East is reshaped into a careerist with great martial arts and lofty aspirations.
After encountering Linghu Chong, Dongfang Invincible showed the gentle side hidden under the strong appearance.
's grim image is just a disguise. In his heart, he also has the yearning for a free life and the pursuit of ardent love.
And he used the most decisive way to express his love and hate. With the jump to the bottom of the cliff, the Hong Kong film industry also set off a wave of rush to shoot martial arts movies.
Brigitte Lin also relied on this role to start the second spring of her acting career. She starred in as many as a dozen martial arts films throughout the 1990s, and created many characters similar to Dongfang Invincible.
8, Tony Leung, the classic villain: Zhou Chaoxian
997 " black gold ", although the starring is Andy Lau, some people say that this is a one-man show belonging to Tony Leung.
This is a movie created by McDonald's and McDonald's , a Hong Kong-made movie about Taiwanese gangsters.
Zhou Chaoxian, played by Tony Leung, is a Taiwanese underworld celebrity who masters both black and white resources.
The negotiation scene in the film is particularly exciting. It tells that a government development project is about to be tendered. Zhou Chao first convened a few underworld elders to hold a meeting to discuss, and wanted to win the project. During the period of
, he used all means to severely crack down on those who held dissenting opinions. The sentence: "Who agrees? Who opposes?" has long been a widely circulated emoticon package in the circle of friends.
In the gang, the Zhou Dynasty was first of all a good brother who could benefit the middle-aged elders;
In the officialdom, he was also a politician who knew how to manage his image and was very good at showing off.
In contrast, the image of Fang Guohui, head of the investigation bureau's mobile team played by Andy Lau, is much bleaker.
So, while Black Gold isn't an airtight gangster classic, Tony Leung's performance is impressive and takes the film up a notch.
Tony Leung began to play this kind of heroic role in the late 1990s, but compared with the big D brother he played in "Underworld", we can see the obvious difference in performance, which shows his profound skills.
7, He Jiaju , classic villain: Datun
There are "four villains" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, they are: He Jiaju, Cheng Kui'an , Huang Guangliang and Lee Shau Kee , and He Jiaju has become the "four villains" first.
The Datun he played in " prison situation ", although not the big villain, nor the underworld big brother who can hold the power, but he is bad to the bones, and it is a little person who gnashing his teeth.
Datun is also an ordinary prisoner in the prison, but he has his own small circle and is familiar with all the rules in the prison.
He likes to bully new prisoners. In order to exclude dissidents, he is willing to collude with prison guards. In order to achieve his goals, he can use any means. This kind of villain lurking around is the most terrifying.
He Jiaju's most iconic image is his contemptuous smile and evil little eyes.
He has run a newspaper, worked as an agent, director, screenwriter and producer. He has acted in more than 300 movies, and has played the image of a masked villain countless times.
But the performance in "Prison" is absolutely phenomenal, and the interpretation of the image of a villain who is afraid of chaos in the world is quite in place.
During the glorious period of Hong Kong movies , a large number of gangsters and violent movies emerged, and "villain" actors like He Jiaju were like a duck to water, and they have created countless roles.
But after 2000, with the downturn of the Hong Kong film market, the number of films He Jiaju participated in gradually decreased, and it rarely came out after 2005.
He Jiaju passed away on January 27, 2015 at the age of 66.
6, Qian Xiaohao, classic villain: Dong Tianbao
Qian Xiaohao, as a close disciple of director Zhang Che , was highly praised by Shaw Brothers as soon as he debuted, but after Shaw Brothers stopped production in 1985, his acting career also ushered in A major turning point.
In the 1990s, Qian Xiaohao became more and more marginalized in the entertainment industry. At this time, he got the opportunity to turn over and play the villain Dong Tianbao in " Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng " directed by Yuan Heping .
From the story of this film, we can see the screenwriting skills of Academy Award screenwriter Ye Guangjian.
Zhang Sanfeng (Zhang Junbao) is the founder of the Wudang School in the late Southern Song Dynasty and a famous figure in history.
And Dong Tianbao is a character created by the movie, but he exists as the opposite of Zhang Junbao, whose character and values are completely different from Zhang Junbao.
Zhang Junbao is kind, optimistic and open-minded, with little fame and fortune. He can hardly find any shortcomings in his body, and he has no pursuit in life. He likes a peaceful life without competition from the world; The desire for wealth, status, and power, he is more pragmatic, has a clear purpose, and can use any means to achieve it.
Although the ending of the movie is that the wicked Dong Tianbao was defeated by Zhang Junbao, the audience seems to have given more favor to Dong Tianbao, which is the scary part of the movie.
Because a "perfect person" like Zhang Junbao is only our ideal, and we are more like Dong Tianbao, who spends his life chasing fame and fortune.
Although Dong Tianbao is a villain, we can see his own shadow in him to some extent. More importantly, Dong Tianbao in the film is more persistent and successful than many of us.
Therefore, Dong Tianbao's words: "My life is up to me" roared, and it is still a buzzword on the Internet today.
5, Xiong Xinxin, classic villain: Feilong
Tsui Hark's last martial arts movie in the 1990s was called "Knife", and the villain Xiong Xinxin played in the film was called Feilong.
As a realistic martial arts film with a strong Cult style, Feilong is definitely the strongest existence in the martial arts world. He believes in the philosophy of the weak and the strong, and treats everyone as a "pig" under the knife. Knife fast.
Among the many roles played by Xiong Xinxin, in addition to "Ghost Foot Seven", "Flying Dragon" has the most character. He is arrogant, arrogant, never concealed, simple and direct, and domineering.
But Feilong also died under the knife faster than him in the end. In fact, he just lost to time. The replacement of old and new is also the law of the rivers and lakes. No matter how fast the knife is, there will always be a time to slow down.
In 1995, when Hong Kong movies began to decline, "Knife" only received 4.9 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.
Many people can't accept the unordered, non-legal arena in the film, because it is too real and alludes to the cruelty of the real world.
But people still remember this movie in the end, and it became the most unique work of Xiong Xinxin and Zhao Wenzhuo in their acting careers.
4, Leslie Cheung , the classic villain: Ouyang Feng
Leslie Cheung participated in Wong Kar Wai 's " Dongxie West Poison", at the beginning played the role of Dongxie Huang Yaoshi .
But Wong Kar-wai has been filming for a long time without much progress. Under the pressure of Taiwanese filmmakers, Wong Kar-wai asked Liu Zhenwei to concoct a " Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 1993 in 27 days. New Year's Eve show.
I didn't expect this "shoddy" comedy to achieve unprecedented success. The image of Ouyang Feng played by Tony Leung is even more deeply rooted in people's hearts and has become a classic character loved by movie fans.
This made Wong Kar-wai anxious. He didn't want to see that when the audience watched "Evil in the East and Poison in the West", Ouyang Feng of the West Poison would make people laugh as soon as he appeared.
Therefore, he finally persuaded the actors to switch roles. "Western Poison Ouyang Feng" was given to Leslie Cheung; "Dongxie Huang Yaoshi" was given to Liang Jiahui; Liang Chaowei, who originally played Ouyang Feng, became a blind swordsman.
Fortunately, Leslie Cheung, who has excellent acting skills, can seamlessly switch between the pros and cons.
Wong Kar-wai gave Ouyang Feng a new interpretation. He gave up his love in order to walk the rivers and lakes to pursue his dreams. When he looked back, he realized that he had lost the most cherished person in the world.
As a result, Ouyang Feng became narrow-minded. He was jealous of people who were happier than him. Because of jealousy, he began to destroy and kill, and eventually became a "Western poison".
3, Zhang Yaoyang, classic villains: handsome brother , crow
model, 181cm tall, handsome and handsome Zhang Yaoyang, his image is enough to become a popular niche in Hong Kong's golden age.
But he "choose the wrong path" from the very beginning. He did not enter TVB and started from TV dramas, but was discovered by director Lin Lingdong of and became an important actor in his "Wind and Cloud" trilogy, and successfully shaped it in 1988 The image of the handsome brother in " school situation ".
"School Situation" is the earliest realistic gangster film in Hong Kong. Because of its large scale, it was deleted by the Hong Kong Electric Inspection Office, but the whole film is still bloody, violent and shocking.
The gang leader Chisha is the source of all violence. He manages his own territory very "duty", allowing evil to infiltrate the school, and reaching out to those students who are not deep in the world.
Brother Chia is not as wicked as Deng Jiayong, nor does he have the unparalleled martial arts like Dongfang Invincible, but he is very real, just like the gangsters who are active around us, even one look is very penetrating, making people feel Involuntarily, a sense of fear arises.
"School Situation" aroused strong repercussions from Hong Kong society after its release that year. While it won 13.74 million box office, it also promoted a wave of government governance of social security.
And Zhang Yaoyang was also stereotyped by this role, and the crow , Lei Yaoyang , etc. played in the "Young and Dangerous" series are the continuation of this image.
2, served as the official , the classic villain: Yan Zhendong
The historical Huang Feihong has four sons and two daughters. The enemy, Guiyanliang, was killed with a musket.
When Tsui Hark created "Once Upon a Time", he used it as a blueprint to create the character "Iron Cloth Shirt" Yan Zhendong.
Yan Zhendong is also a martial arts master with unique skills. But in order to live, he had to sell martial arts on the street, do the most humble job, and taste the warmth and coldness of the world.
Under the tempering of life, Yan Zhendong's values began to change.
He no longer insisted on justice, gave up his own principles, broke through the bottom line again and again, and finally became a fighting tool under the hands of gangsters.
Yan Zhendong was already dead when he saw the evil happening and was able to remain indifferent. He gave up his principles and his own dignity.
Therefore, in the final duel with Huang Feihong, Yan Zhendong is no longer as calm as before.
His "iron shirt" didn't work anymore, and in the end he went mad because of his defeat and was shot and killed by a foreigner.
Before he died, he said, "No matter how good our kung fu is, it is still no match for a foreign gun."
Yan Zhendong represented the Chinese people who lost faith in that era. Although he had a strong body, he did not have a firm mind and soul.
Although Ren Shiguan later created such classic images as Monk Yankong, Ren Woxing, and Yue Xihong, none of them had the depth of Yan Zhendong.
In fact, the actors, characters and films listed above by Pigo are the most outstanding works in Hong Kong movies.
can draw the conclusion that if the villain in a movie is very successful, then it is definitely a classic movie.
1, Andy Lau, the classic villain: Lin Kun
htmlAfter 12000, Andy Lau's acting skills have already been perfected, and he is no longer an "idol faction" that is inferior to the previous one.
In 2007, he participated in Er Dongsheng 's crime film " disciples ", playing the villain Lin Kun - a Hong Kong drug lord who is as cunning as a fox.
Lin Kun runs an electrical appliance store on weekdays.
If it wasn't for drug trafficking, he is just an ordinary person with a family and children, and a sense of responsibility.
But Lin Kun's values are distorted. He doesn't think it's wrong for him to sell drugs, and thinks it's a fair and reasonable business.
This kind of logical self-consistency is the most terrifying. Many people in the society hold similar distorted values, and only step into the abyss of crime.
Andy Lau once joked that he has never played the villain, even the terrorists in " dark war against " or characters like Lin Kun in "disciple" have a kind side.
Maybe many viewers will think that Lin Kun is not a villain, or even a "villain", because he is a person who has a sense of responsibility towards his family and is affectionate towards his brothers.
But he is indeed doing business that endangers the society. This character reflects our society. Many people have such two sides.
