Bruce Lee was promoted, Wong Kar-wai was discovered, Zheng Shaoqiu was severely criticized, what is his identity?
He was the discoverer of acclaimed director Wong Kar-wai and the mentor of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee's career. He, together with Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Huimin, said that he has been unhindered in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for many years. He takes love seriously and seriously, and has promoted many celebrities, and can be called a recognized predecessor in the industry.
He publicly questioned Zheng Shaoqiu at Shen Dianxia's funeral, but no one dared to stand up to stop him, and even Xiang Huaqiang and his wife had to back down to him. The Hong Kong gang had a close connection with him, and he later lived in seclusion for many years, but the legend of the rivers and lakes has always passed on his story.
Let's take a look at Deng Guangrong, the man of the year.
In 1946, Deng Guangrong was born in a wealthy family in Deshun, Guangdong, his father was a well-known local magnate, so when he was a child, Deng Guangrong enjoyed wealth and honor, as the youngest son in the family, he was even more favored. His initial ambition was to enter Hong Kong politics to become a **, but in real life, Deng Guangrong, who liked to fight since he was a child, was regarded by many as a gang member.
In 1963, when he was still studying, Deng Guangrong was instigated by his classmates to audition for the movie "The Student Prince". He stood out from thousands of auditioners and managed to become the main character. At that time, there were no Meitu filters available, but with his naturally handsome appearance, Deng Guangrong fascinated many audiences. Since then, he has successfully entered the showbiz, and has collaborated with popular actresses such as Xiao Fangfang and Chen Baozhu in a series of youth movies such as "Golden Christmas Night", "Happy Hour", and "Happy Angel".
In 1969, during the filming of the movie "Flying Men and Flying Women", Deng Guangrong and Shen Dianxia, who was the same age, hit it off at first sight, and the two had similar temperaments, so they decided to marry brothers and sisters with different surnames. Deng Guangrong took special care of Shen Dianxia's godsister, and even formed the famous Silver Rat Team with Xie Xian, Chen Ziqiang, Chen Hao and others.
The members of the Silver Rat team that year were all leaders in the industry, including veteran actors and gold medal directors, as well as the famous Shen Dianxia and Deng Guangrong with an underworld background. These seven figures have abundant resources in their hands and almost monopolize a large part of the market share of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Deng Guangrong went to Taiwan in 1972 to develop, and co-starred with many actresses such as Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao in many Qiong Yao movies such as "Love Run", "Seagull Flying", "Caiyun Flying" and so on. At that time, he was known as the three students of literary films, along with Qin Han and Qin Xianglin.
In 1977, when Deng Guangrong entered middle age, he had already gotten rid of the immaturity and youthfulness of his youth and showed the demeanor of a mature king. He co-founded Daei Film and Television Company with his brother and has trained many new actors in the industry. At the same time, he began to devote himself to the field of investment in gangster hero films, especially full of enthusiasm for playing the role of Jianghu Big Brother. In "No Drug, No Husband" and "Family Law", Deng Guangrong successfully created the image of a gangster in a sharp style.
Even if this kind of role lacks acting support, in fact, even if Deng Guangrong has no acting skills, he can vividly interpret the true colors of the gangsters.
When Deng Guangrong was young, he met Liu Rongju, the founder of Hong Kong's veteran *** organization, Liangong Le. Liu Rongju played a certain role in promoting Deng Guangrong's success in the Hong Kong film industry. In the 70s of the last century, Deng Guangrong officially joined the Liangong Music Society, and since then his status has gradually risen, and finally became the leader of Liangong Music, enjoying a lofty status in the rivers and lakes.
Bruce Lee initially developed in the United States, but later saw the rapid rise of the Hong Kong film industry, so he decided to return to China to develop. Deng Guangrong admired Bruce Lee's performance in promoting the spirit of Chinese martial arts, so he gave him a lot of resource introductions. It was with this help that Bruce Lee was able to open up the domestic market and become a well-known kung fu superstar.
Deng Guangrong not only appreciates talents, but also likes to associate with the world's heroes, he and Hong Kong tycoon Chen Huimin as brothers, but also has a close relationship with Fok Yingdong, Stanley Ho and other red businessmen. Although Deng Guangrong's status in the circle is unshakable, he has also had moments of regret.
In the year when Darong Film and Television was established, Deng Guangrong invited Cheng Gang to be the director and direct a film for the company. However, Cheng Gang always put on an arrogant attitude, which led to a slow filming schedule, and the film that should have been completed a long time ago could not be completed on schedule because of his delay. Even the budget has increased a lot from the initial expectations. After learning the news, Deng Guangrong was furious, rushed straight to the set, and gave Cheng Gang a slap. This broke the director's self-esteem, and in the end, Cheng Gang chose to quit, and the funds invested in the early stage also came to naught. Afterwards, Deng Guangrong said that it was the most expensive slap in his life.
In 1987, Deng Guangrong founded Ying Zhijie Film Company, and in 1990, he discovered Wong Kar-wai, a film genius. At that time, Wong Kar-wai was still working under Huang Baiming, but because he wrote the script too slowly, Huang Baiming angrily fired him. However, Tang Guangrong admired Wong Kar-wai's talent, so he recruited him to join his company as a director, and invested in two films, "Carmen in Mong Kok" and "The True Story of A Fei". However, unexpectedly, Wong Kar-wai became a loss-making director.
The box office performance of "Mong Kok Carmen" was ordinary, and what was even more surprising was that "The True Story of A Fei", which was released in 1991, actually caused Deng Guangrong to lose more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. This blow caused Deng Guangrong to be hospitalized, but the development of things was unexpected, "The True Story of A Fei" achieved extremely high artistic achievements, Wong Kar-wai became the best director with this film, Leslie Cheung also won the best actor award, and other supporting roles have also ushered in the peak of their careers. Only the big boss Deng Guangrong, he felt both helpless and relieved, after all, he is also Wong Kar-wai's Bole, who has cultivated this excellent Hong Kong director.
In 1993, Deng Guangrong retired from the film industry after completing his last film, "Black Panther World". As a senior in the Hong Kong film industry, he no longer cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but as long as the filmmakers are in need, they will ask him for help. Whether it is a friend in the circle or a senior who has died, Deng Guangrong always takes the lead in handling it and contributes money and efforts. However, Deng Guangrong, who has played the role of the eldest brother for many years, also has a shortcoming, that is, he has a hot temper.
In 2008, Deng Guangrong's godsister Shen Dianxia died. At the memorial service, he publicly accused Shen Dianxia's ex-husband Zheng Shaoqiu of being indifferent to his daughter for many years and failing to fulfill his father's responsibilities. At that time, Zheng Shaoqiu's face changed suddenly, and he looked very embarrassed.
The memorial service gathered many influential figures, including Xiang Huaqiang and Jackie Chan. However, no one dared to shut up Deng Guangrong, even if some people later thought that his actions were inappropriate, but everyone avoided direct criticism and only expressed their deep understanding of the love between brother and sister.
The 65-year-old Deng Guangrong passed away in his sleep in March 2011, and a generation of heroes bid farewell to their own rivers and lakes, and the former disputes between right and wrong also came to an end with his departure.
