The four Hong Kong masters who played the role of "Big Brother" all have a strong aura that no one has surpassed so far.

Text: Si Qi said

I haven’t been a big brother for many years. I don’t like the cold edge of the bed. Don’t force me to miss you. Don’t force me to cry. I will fall out. I won’t be a big brother. For many years, I just want to love you well. I can’t go back in time, I can’t regret in life, I will love you tomorrow...

Many years ago, the song "Big Brother" by "Little Black Brother" Ke Shouliang truly said It expresses the sentiments of countless "big men in the world": Even if they have been in the world for many years, they will still be afraid of the "cold edge of the bed" and regret "I will love you tomorrow".

In movies and TV dramas, there are many actors who can play villains with their fierce faces, but there are very few who can truly interpret the temperament of a boss through their own image.

In this issue, we will take a look at the 4 "super bosses" among Hong Kong actors (in no particular order), all of them are so domineering that no one can match them so far.

When it comes to Deng Guangrong, today’s friends are certainly not very familiar with it. This is not the case for people born in the 1970s and 1980s, who all know his name well.

How awesome is Deng Guangrong?

He was the leader of Bruce Lee's development in Hong Kong. He was a supporter of big-name directors such as Wong Kar-wai. He was the nightmare of the "heartless man" Zheng Shaoqiu... and was recognized by everyone as the "big brother" who valued love and justice. A true man!

Deng Guangrong was born in Shunde, Guangdong in 1946, the fourth child in his family.

His father, Deng Bowen, is the leader of Guangzhou Zhigong Hall and is quite powerful.

When he was a child, Deng Guangrong was deeply influenced by his father, and he had a strong "jianghu flavor".

Coupled with his well-off family background, he gradually developed a character that was willing to give and to fight against injustice.

At first, Deng Guangrong dreamed of becoming a civil servant, but he was always considered to be involved with gangs, so he had no choice but to give up.

In the mid-1950s, Deng Bowen and his family moved to Hong Kong. Deng Guangrong studied at the New Law College and was an alumnus of the future film and television tycoon Yang Shoucheng.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, Deng Guangrong was already extraordinary, handsome and full of star quality.

At the age of 17, on the recommendation of a friend, Deng Guangrong starred in the first movie in his acting career, "The Student Prince", and has since entered the entertainment industry.

How handsome was Deng Guangrong back then?

Together with Qin Xianglin and Qin Han, he is known as the "three big and small students". He is as famous as the "fourth brother" Xie Xian. He can be said to be "so handsome that he has no friends".

Deng Guangrong is a real big brother in society. In the film and television arena, he can be regarded as an unsurpassed king in terms of appearance and temperament.

In his early years, Deng Guangrong mainly focused on youth-type films, especially the ones where he starred in Qiong Yao the most.

His main representative works include "Golden Christmas Night", "When People Return at Spring Dawn", "Flying Man and Flying Girl", etc.

When he reached middle age, as his hairline gradually became higher, Deng Guangrong began to wear a "big slicked back hair", and his masculine temperament increased instead of decreasing. Whether in real life or in movies, They all have a proper image of a boss.

In the 1982 gangster action film "Chinatown", although the plot is a bit cliché, Tang Guangrong and Huang Jinshen co-starred. Both of them are handsome boys, which added a lot to the film.

In subsequent crime-themed films such as "The Fight Again", "The World of Dragons", "The Sky" and "The Fight between Dragons and Tigers", Deng Guangrong performed the "gangster" to the extreme.

Even the co-stars such as Chow Yun-fat and Lai Ming are quite good, but they are inferior to him.

As for the role of the boss, because Deng Guangrong was originally a gangster (Lien Gongle’s identity), he is indeed suspected of "acting in his true colors", but his acting skills are also unquestionable.

Speaking of his status in the entertainment industry, it is even more awe-inspiring.

Back then, Deng Guangrong was also a member of the famous "Silver Rat Team". The members Zhang Chong, Xie Xian, Shen Dianxia, ??Qin Xianglin, Chen Ziqiang, and Chen Hao were all "true" "Big Brother", the resources cover half of the entire Hong Kong film and television industry.

That year, at Shen Dianxia's funeral, Zheng Shaoqiu had no choice but to attend due to pressure from public opinion.

As a godbrother, Deng Guangrong angrily scolded "Qiuguan" to his face: "Xinyi doesn't have a father? Why do so many uncles and uncles have to be responsible? Qiuzai, tell yourself, what have you given to Ah Fei over the years? , please tell me clearly today how you plan to take care of your daughter!"

You must know that on the day of the funeral, half of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, such as Xiang Huaqiang and Jackie Chan, were there, and the business world's big names were also in attendance.

The fact that Deng Guangrong speaks so righteously shows that he and Shun Dianxia have a very deep brother-sister relationship, and his true temperament is also fully revealed.

Today, the "real boss" Deng Guangrong has passed away for 10 years, but his legendary life is still popular among the people.

There is a saying in the world: "For boxing, Chen Huimin has, and for legs, Bruce Lee!"

Being compared with Bruce Lee shows that Chen Huimin is not in vain.

In the martial arts world, he also has an impressive record of KOing Japanese boxing champion Tsuyoshi Morisaki in 35 seconds in the "World Elite Fighting Competition", and his strength is quite impressive.

Unlike Deng Guangrong, Chen Huimin does not have a prominent family background. He was able to become a gangster in the past solely by relying on a pair of iron fists.

In 1944, Chen Huimin was born into a sailor family in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.

Since his father often sailed away, he grew up with his mother. He was very rebellious and worshiped martial arts since he was a child.

When he was a teenager, he began to come into contact with martial arts. He once practiced "Tan Jia San Zhan Quan" and "Western Boxing". He often hung out with gangsters, and got acquainted with the Hong Kong Triads during this period. 14K members.

After that, Chen Huimin passed the exam and became a prison guard guarding prisoners. Two years and eight months later, he became a real Hong Kong Royal Police Officer.

Under the special background of the times, Chen Huimin saw clearly the intrigues in the officialdom, but was expelled from the police station because of this. Since then, he has entered society and started his gangster career.

Beginning in 1967, Chen Huimin returned to the gang and began to collect protection fees. Because of his daring to break out and fight hard, he soon won the appreciation of the gangsters and was reused and promoted.

While collecting protection money, Chen Huimin also found love. The other person was a beautiful cashier who admired him very much.

And this girl later became his wife and even served in prison on his behalf. The two have been together to this day and can be called a model couple in the industry.

In the following years, Chen Huimin gradually rose to become the "Second Master" of 14K, the top figure second only to the Marshal "Double Flower Red Stick", and was known as the "Nine-Patterned Dragon" in the world.

By the age of 25, his strength has spread throughout Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and he has thousands of younger brothers.

In its heyday, the entire Tsim Sha Tsui was under his control. The most prosperous "Kimberley Road" at that time was even called "Chen Huimin Street".

In the early 1970s, with the death of Bruce Lee, Chen Huimin was spotted by film and television companies to fill his position as a kung fu superstar.

In 1972, Chen Huimin participated in the action film "Blood Love", starring with him including Deng Guangrong, Li Linlin and other popular stars.

Since then, Chen Huimin has successively participated in many gangster-themed films, portraying every detail of the "jianghu people" incisively and vividly.

For example, in "Dance Hall", he played the role of "Axi", a gangster;

In "Jia Zhi", he played the role of "grandfather";

Another example is "Brother Hong Xingbiao" in "The Killer";

"Uncle Mei" in "The Dragon";

"Young and Dangerous 3" The "East Star Camel" in "The Hand Covers the Sky"...

In her middle age, Chen Huimin has a better image and temperament, and she is more comfortable playing the role of a boss. In terms of his experience in the world of martial arts, not even the best actor can interpret the charm he has.

In recent years, he has retired from film and television, focusing on the wine business and living a comfortable life with his family.

When facing the media, whenever he talks about the past, he always responds with a faint smile: In the past, he fought in the west just to survive. After having a family, there is no such thing as a "big brother". Word! This society emphasizes "conquering people with virtue and respecting harmony as the most precious thing"...

Speaking of Wan Ziliang's "big brother" role, there are too many to mention.

Every time he appears, his powerful aura makes people shudder and at the same time worship him.

Able to interpret many classic big brother images, Wan Ziliang is not a real man in the world, but relies on his superb acting skills.

In 1957, Wan Ziliang was born in a family of nine in Taiwan named Hu. His family was very poor.

A few days after his birth, Wan Ziliang was given to a couple named Wan to be raised by his parents.

When Wan Ziliang was a few years old, he moved to Hong Kong with his parents. His adoptive parents loved him very much.

What’s worse is that when he entered junior high school, his adoptive father passed away early, and the backbone of the family collapsed.

In order to reduce the burden on his family, Wan Ziliang decided to drop out of school and move into society to start working. During this period, he returned to his alma mater to work as a secretary.

When he was 19 years old, it was time for the Hong Kong Li TV station to recruit students. Wan Ziliang applied with the mentality of giving it a try, and was successfully admitted with his handsome appearance and hard work.

Since then, Wan Ziliang became an actor and began to write his own film and television glory.

Since 1977, he has starred in hit dramas such as "The Sword of the Third Young Master" and "Xue Rengui's Conquest of the East", quickly becoming a popular niche actor on the front line.

After transferring to Shaw Brothers, Wan Ziliang was highly appreciated and reused by his boss Run Run Shaw. He starred in many films such as "Waiting for Dawn", "New Flying Fox Story", "Shui'er Samurai", and gradually established his career The position of "the best brother in the film industry".

It was not until 1984 that Chow Yun-fat became popular. The two competed for acting skills in "Waiting for Dawn" and both were nominated for the Golden Horse Award. In the end, Chow Yun-fat won.

Although Wan Ziliang lost the Best Actor trophy, his acting skills were eye-catching, and most viewers thought he crushed Chow Yun-fat.

In the mid-1980s, Wan Ziliang began to focus on the field of TV dramas and switched to TVB.

In 1986, Wan Ziliang starred in the TV series "Rogue Tycoon", playing the role of "Fang Jinchang" in the TV series.

After the show was aired, it immediately caused an unparalleled popularity The ratings were frenzied and he became the champion of the year.

Since then, Wan Ziliang has continued his efforts and starred in hit dramas such as "Journey of Life", "Contemporary Man" and "He Comes from Jianghu", becoming a responsible "TVB". Brother".

At that time, wherever Wan Ziliang went, there were huge crowds of people, which was extremely sensational.

It is worth mentioning that in the movie "The Love of Rivers and Lakes" released in 1987, Wan Ziliang Together with Chow Yun-fat, the two "big guys" once again staged a powerful showdown for movie fans.

This time, Wan Ziliang finally won the Golden Horse Best Actor trophy, and he deserved it. /p>

Returning to the film industry, Man Tsz-leung has created classic roles one after another with his unique image of a big brother.

Such as the gangster brother in "Carmen" and "The King of Gamblers". Tanaka, Jiang Tianyang in "Young and Dangerous"...

Unlike Deng Guangrong and Chen Huimin, the reason why Wan Ziliang can perform the "big brother" so well is mainly due to himself He has a handsome image and a strong aura.

He is a "big brother" in the film and television world. In real life, Wan Ziliang is also a highly respected eldest brother.

Because of his support, there will be the future "King of Comedy", Nick Cheung's "Generation Comedian", and Lin Jiadong's "Actor"

Now, Wan Ziliang is 64 years old, and his charm is no longer the same. His face is full of wrinkles, and his legendary story is written in every wrinkle. Today, if it weren't for Nicholas Tse's popularity, few people would know who Xie Xian is. < /p>

Anyone born in the 70s and 80s must be familiar with this legendary old man.

Speaking of Xie Xian’s status in entertainment, he dared to call Sammo Hung “Little Fatty”. He once slapped the "drama tyrant" Tsang Jiang and was known as the "Father of the God of Gamblers". He was nicknamed "Fourth Brother" by Jianghu people...

In 1936, Tse Yin was born into a wealthy family in Hong Kong. The fourth child in the family, his ancestral home is Guangdong.

He grew up with a golden key and was used to living a prosperous life since he was a child. However, his family fell into decline soon and his destiny was changed.

p>

When he was a boy, Xie Xian had no intention of studying and only thought about how to make money.

As he grew up, Xie Xian became handsome and stylish, and he looked like a perfect figure. Film and television star.

At the age of 18, Xie Xian was admitted to an actor training class and entered the entertainment industry after starring in his first movie "The Water Pipe Downstairs".

Who would have thought that this acting career would last more than 60 years.

Since then, Xie Xian has starred in excellent movies such as "Rouge Tiger", "Brothers in Need", "Flowers in the Rain" and so on with his excellent handsome image, and has become very popular.

Nowadays, when it comes to John Woo's "A Better Tomorrow", everyone can remember every classic scene in it.

But before that, Xie Xian’s version was the real king.

In 1967, Xie Xian was invited by director Long Gang to star in "A Better Tomorrow", which was joined by veteran actors such as Shi Jian and Du Ping. Once it was released, it earned an astonishing box office of HK$400,000. , to restore the sluggish Hong Kong film to glory.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xian founded "Xie Brothers Film Company", dreaming of making a career in the film industry, but with the rise of TVB, he had no choice but to declare failure.

In the late 1970s, Xie Xian "joined" TVB and presented the smash hit martial arts drama "Xiao Shiyilang"; soon after, he starred in "The King of Kings", in which Play the role of "Luo Sihai".

Compared with Chow Yun-fat's God of Gamblers series of films, "The King of Kings" is the real "grandmaster", with various kinds of skills that are dizzying and enjoyable.

After "The King of Kings", Xie Xian once again partnered with Wang Mingquan in the romantic drama "Love is Always Love", which once again broke TVB's ratings record.

In the following years, Xie Xian successively filmed film and television dramas such as "The King of Kings Returns" and "The Black and White Forest", and his popularity continues unabated.

In Stephen Chow's comedy "Shaolin Soccer", the scene between him and Ng Meng-tat can be called an acting textbook, so bad that it is outrageous.

It’s a pity that the “golden supporting role” has left and Ng Man-tat is no longer there.

In addition to his glory in the film and television industry, Xie Xian also has a lifetime of righteousness.

When Anita Mui was stopped by gangsters, he immediately called Xiang Tai and got out of the situation.

The most controversial thing about Xie Xian is the romantic debt he owed throughout his life.

But what has to be said is that although he is romantic, he is not obscene. Otherwise, his ex-wives and girlfriends would not be "good friends" after they separated from him, or even be "good friends" with him. Never said a bad word about him.

Today, Xie Xian is 85 years old. With the passing of time and the decline of prosperity, the former boss has gradually lost his luster along with the decline of "Oriental Hollywood".

Although the hero is late, the classics will be passed down forever!

In your mind, which other big names cannot be surpassed?
