On the hot July 20, Ren Dahua was interacting closely with fans on stage. Suddenly, a strange man sprang out from the side, and Ren Dahua mistook him for an avid male fan, and was about to greet him, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest - he was stabbed. Shocked and confused, a question flashed in Ren Dahua's mind: Is this making a movie?
As Ren Dahua's friend, Wen Bixia immediately sent her greetings through Weibo after learning the news: "I hope Brother Hua will be ** as soon as possible." These two actors have co-starred in many films, Ren Dahua's acting skills are deeply popular, and Wen Bixia has attracted the attention of countless audiences with her style.
Going back 25 years, their collaboration on the movie "Shocking Change" won extremely high praise from the audience. Today, when netizens saw the news of Ren Dahua's assassination, they said that it seemed to be a reenactment of the real version of "Shocking Change". The story of "Shocking Change" begins with the suicide of Xu Zhandong's wife Stella, and revolves around the relationship between Miao Keyi (played by Wen Bixia) and Xu Zhandong (played by Ren Dahua) to unfold a suspenseful drama about money and human nature.
In the movie, the first meeting between the two is full of drama. Xu Zhandong was furious when he found out that his wife was cheating, and beat up Lin Guocai (played by Zhang Jianting). Afterwards, he planned to seize the car and escape, but unexpectedly took Lin Guocai's wife and children away by mistake and placed them on his friend Chen Biao's yacht. This small yacht becomes a turning point in the whole story, where a series of accidents occur.
Xu Zhandong, regardless of his own safety, sent Miao Keyi's son with a high fever to the hospital to ensure that he was safe and sound. At the same time, Miao Keyi was violated by the lustful Chen Biao, but fortunately Xu Zhandong returned in time and rescued her. In addition, when Chen Biao, who was greedy for money, asked Lin Guocai for a ransom of 10 million in vain, and tried to push Miao Keyi into the sea in anger, Xu Zhandong once again showed his bravery, saved Miao Keyi, and ** Chen Biao in the chaos.
Miao Keyi had mixed feelings about Xu Zhandong, the man who frightened her at first. From the initial vigilance to the gradual development of a good feeling, until finally found a sense of security by his side. However, when she returned home, she found that the mother and son had returned safely, but her husband Lin Guocai was not happy. She began to be suspicious, and gradually discovered that Lin Guocai not only deliberately dropped the ransom money to make her go without returning, but also deliberately damaged the brakes of the car, causing her to almost collide with the tanker truck while driving.
This series of contrasts made her realize that the husband who got along with her day and night was the real murderer who tried to harm her, while Xu Zhandong, who was a stranger, was the one who wholeheartedly protected her and her son. This stark contrast adds more dramatic tension to the film. The reworded text reads as follows:
Miao Keyi, who learned the truth, did not choose to call the police, but sought Xu Zhandong's help. Between dependence and responsibility, the emotions of the two naturally breed. However, life is far more cruel than they can imagine. Lin Guocai, in order to greedily occupy Miao Keyi's wealth, ruthlessly planned to kill his son. Miao Keyi was grief-stricken and asked Xu Zhandong to avenge her. Xu Zhandong, caught in it, ended Lin Guocai's life for Miao Keyi, and then surrendered to the police. "It's none of my business," he insisted. ”
The development of the plot is tight and gripping, until the final revelation is shocking: Miao Keyi has long known about her husband's infidelity, and Xu Zhandong's wife Stella did not commit suicide, but was pushed down from a tall building by Miao Keyi. Whether Miao Keyi's feelings for Xu Zhandong are used or true love are hidden in her sentence "Adong, I'm sorry". The complexity and entanglement of feelings make it impossible for people to see the truth.
Xu Zhandong did not expect that the person who killed his wife turned out to be the person he loved deeply. He did not avenge his wife, but avenged the murder of his wife. In the end, the three men and Miao Keyi walked towards the end of their lives together. The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and the intimate scene is used as an emotional transition, paving the way for Xu Zhandong's sacrifice.
After the movie was released, Wen Bixia received a lot of criticism for this intimate scene. Her father even reprimanded her harshly and severed the father-daughter relationship, which devastated her. Wen Bixia, who was born in a poor family in the New Territories, grew up in a difficult environment. Her father almost sold her due to gambling debts. This shadow prompted her to resolve to live independently, and cinema became her way to achieve her dream.
The cycle of fate always comes unexpectedly. At the age of 15, Wen Bixia met director Li Dawei and screenwriter Wen Jun, and successfully auditioned for their movie "Pretty Girl". This film allowed her to get a salary of 6,000 yuan, which greatly improved the family's financial situation.
Over time, Wen's efforts have come to fruition, and she has not only achieved success in the film industry, but also successfully built her own family and career. She used her story to prove the fairness and injustice of fate, and also made us understand that no matter how many difficulties and setbacks we encounter, as long as we persist in working hard and pursuing our dreams, we will one day be able to realize our ideals. At the crossroads of her life, she resolutely decided to step into the entertainment industry.
At that time, she was still a student with dreams, however, her inner desire made her brave to sign a contract with a brokerage company, and since then she has been shining on the stage of the entertainment industry. "Can't Stop Love" is her first work, and the cooperation with Andy Lau is even more eye-catching, and the performance of the two is as enviable as a golden boy and a girl. Although there was no spark with Andy Lau outside the play, this work has undoubtedly become a masterpiece of her acting career.
After the film was released, Wen Bixia's name spread all over the streets overnight, but her relationship with her parents was cracked because of her choice. In order to comply with her parents' expectations, she temporarily withdrew from the film industry and returned to school.
However, the dream of cinema in my heart has not been extinguished. Two years later, she was invited by producer Liang Li Shaoxia to make a comeback again. This time it is "Underground Love" with Tony Leung, and she returns to the big screen with a melancholy literary image. Subsequently, TVB's 1992 drama "Fire Rose" made her a household name. Three years later, she received an invitation from director Qiu Litao to star in the suspense movie "Shocking Change".
For this role, she admitted that it was to break through herself, and at the same time, she also felt that sacrificing for art was a cool thing. However, the release of "Shocking Change" brought her huge controversy, and she was labeled as a "star", which made her feel frustrated, and finally chose to leave the film and television industry and go to the United States to relax.
At the low point of her life, she met He Zuguang, a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. He Zuguang fell in love with Wen Bixia at first sight, and his companionship and care gradually caused her inner trauma. However, there are many good things, and He Zuguang's background has made their relationship face many difficulties. Under all kinds of pressure, Wen Bixia once proposed to break up. But He Zuguang told her firmly: "The Wen Bixia in my eyes is the you I know." "Finally in 2000, they had a wedding in Thailand, and Cinderella really married the prince.
Wen Bixia is very sober, she did not live the life of Mrs. Kuo like other actresses who married into wealthy families. She chose to continue her acting career, constantly challenging herself and breaking through herself. Her story tells us that no matter how many difficulties and challenges we face, as long as we have dreams and strong beliefs in our hearts, we can overcome anything. Although Wen Bixia was known as a "star" in the Hong Kong film and television industry in the early days, she was not bound by these labels.
Instead, she chose to move to the mainland to continue her acting career. Her husband, He Zuguang, has been supportive of her throughout this journey, providing her with tremendous support and encouragement. He Zuguang's support enabled Wen Bixia to constantly break through her limitations and create more colorful characters.
At that time, Wen Bixia was afraid after seeing the painful scene of her sister giving birth to a child and decided not to have a child. He Zuguang respected her decision and has been silently supporting her behind her back. Under the care of He Zuguang, Wen Bixia has always maintained a girl's mentality and lives freely.
In the Hong Kong film and television industry, it is not easy to find true happiness after being labeled as a "star" like Wen Bixia. However, through her own efforts and persistence, Wen Bixia slowly walked out of the shadow of the first year. She looked back at her work, regretting that the audience's focus was on those shots, rather than her portrayal of the "femme fatale" character and the film itself.
Wen Bixia, who was relieved, never appeared in explicit scenes again, and after "Shocking Change", her acting career was more focused on the tempering of her acting skills and the shaping of her role. Unlike the controversial Wen Bixia, Ren Dahua, who played the leading role, and other creators were in a different situation after "Shocking Change".
Ren Dahua once fell into a transformation dilemma because the villain role was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but he did not give up. He took over the filming of the suspense film "Shocking Change", and successfully interpreted Xu Zhandong, a man in love, and won the recognition and praise of the audience. After "Shocking Change", he successfully transformed with several gangster films, and won the Academy Award for Best Actor at the age of 55 with the literary film "The Thief of Time", establishing his status in the film and television industry.
Not only does he maintain enthusiasm and focus on acting, but he also constantly experiments with different types of roles and different shooting techniques. From misfortune and tribulation to sweet and bitter, he is also affectionate in and out of the play, and now he has a happy family and a happy life.
Another actor, Zhang Jianting (Lin Guocai), has a completely opposite attitude towards feelings with Xu Zhandong in the play, but he has a happy family like Xu Zhandong in life. Zhang Jianting is a famous director and screenwriter, who won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay as early as 1982 and 1984, and his representative works include "The Story of Hu Yue" and "Seven Days of Love". As both an actor and a director, he takes every role and every creative opportunity seriously, constantly trying and challenging himself.
In this movie, each character has their own story and emotional entanglements, but they all get out of the predicament and find their own happiness through their own hard work and perseverance. Whether it is Wen Bixia, Ren Dahua or Zhang Jianting, they all use their own experiences to prove that actors should focus on the tempering of their acting skills and the shaping of their roles, rather than being bound by labels. His performance is full of tension, and the comedic effect is exaggerated but very real.
Unlike Lin Guocai, who tried to murder his wife in the film, Zhang Jianting and Yang Nuosi, the daughter of Emperor Group boss Yang Shoucheng, have been married for 28 years, and they are still in love, with two sons and one daughter, and their marriage is happy and enviable. Huang Zihua plays the somewhat neurotic Maisir in the film, affectionate as the sea, and never leaves his wife in three sentences. However, unlike Ren Dahua and Zhang Jianting, who have a complete life, Huang Zihua, who is nearly 60 years old, has not yet married.
Although he has not achieved many achievements in film and television, as a generation of grandmasters of "Dong Du Xiao", he has been as famous as Stephen Chow and is known as the "Zihua God", which has influenced a generation. It is worth mentioning that Huang Zihua is very filial, in 2018, he bid farewell to the stage of stand-up comedy that has been active for 28 years, and gradually reduced his film and television works so that he could spend more time with his elderly mother.
Qiu Litao is a very talented director, although his appearance is ordinary, his works are deeply loved by the audience. He shoots a variety of films, whether it is literary or commercial, he can easily control it. He has set off many genre trends, such as 1993's "Eight Immortals Restaurant's Human Meat Char Siu Bun" created the popular character genre of **murderers, and 1997's "Yin Yang Road" has become a masterpiece of longevity ghost films.
In addition, he led a wave of Hong Kong suspense and emotional films during the filming of the movie "Shocking Change", which was loved by the audience. In recent years, Qiu Litao has continued to seek breakthroughs and filmed films such as the "Anti-Drug" series and the "Bomb Disposal Expert" series. In particular, the "Bomb Disposal Expert" series once again set off a boom in Hong Kong-made police and bandit films. Qiu Litao's transformation reflects the changes in the entire Hong Kong film market.
From Oriental Hollywood in the first decade of the last century to the decline of the Hong Kong film market today, some Hong Kong filmmakers have gone north to explore integration and innovation, while others have stuck to their positions and never forgotten their original intentions. But what is the same is that they are all constantly changing, adapting, and evolving. Although the saying that "Hong Kong films are dead" has been circulating for more than 20 years, Hong Kong filmmakers are still trying to create more high-quality works. It was as if a meteor was streaked across the night sky, fleeting.
With the gradual aging of Hong Kong film stars, the former glory seems to have become a thing of the past, and it is difficult to reproduce. However, this does not mean that the charm of Hong Kong films has disappeared. With the efforts of the new generation of filmmakers, Hong Kong films still have unlimited possibilities and continue to radiate new vitality and vitality. Let's look forward to the glory of Hong Kong films again and witness the eternal charm of film art.
