Hello, everyone. I'm Mrs. Entertainment.
-
Welcome to join me in the entertainment news.
-
Thank you for watching and subscribing.
-
On October 14, according to reports in the Hong Kong media,
-
the radio show hosted by renowned producers Yang Shaohong and Jiang Meiyi recently aired an episode,
-
which featuring veteran actress Nan Hong and Cantonese opera star Long Guantian.
-
They talked about the days when they were acting together.
-
Nan Hong, who barely shows up, is 85 now.
-
Time has left its mark on her.
-
The skin on her face was loose and wrinkled, and she was showing her age.
-
But she was in good spirits, and her face was rosy.
-
Long Guantian also put on a lot of weight.
-
In particular, his face has put on a lot of weight.
-
His hairline receded.
-
He was almost unrecognizable.
-
They should be familiar to the ATV audience.
-
Nan Hong once played a gentle and kind master's wife in "The Good Old Days."
-
Long Guantian has appeared in "The Pride Of Teochew."
-
Talking about the feeling of filming "The Good Old Days" Nan Hong laughed and said that the scriptwriter killed her role too early.
-
But the scriptwriter had no choice.
-
Because it was only going to be 30 episodes, but it turned out to be over 100.
-
She also pointed out that many people still remember her character's name.
-
Speaking of her experience in the industry, Nan said she started work when she was a teenager.
-
She failed to get into her ideal school at that time, so she went to learn opera from Hong Xiannv.
-
Her stage name Nan Hong was given by her master.
-
Later, Nanhong followed Hong Xiannv to make movies and started as an extra.
-
Recalling this experience, Nanhong said that there was a scene to play Hong Xiannv‘s nanny, actors needed to lie on her master chest and said dialogue.
-
Most of them were afraid of her master.
-
But she could cry and finish her lines without a stop.
-
Even the director thought she was great.
-
Soon, Nan Hong became popular.
-
She signed with a film company and worked with Xie Jian, Jialing and so on.
-
It is worth mentioning that Nan Hong once played The First edition of "The Condor Heroes with Xie Xian."
-
In the play, Xie Xian plays Yang Guo and Nan Hong plays Xiao Longnv.
-
Unfortunately, because of its age, few people have seen the film.
-
When asked if Xie Xian, Hu Feng, and Zhou Cong had ever pursued her, Nan hong said no.
-
She emphasized that it was no joke.
-
Xie Xian said very clearly, he does not like people of Nan Hong's type.
-
And Nan Hong doesn't like his type of people.
-
And Hu Feng has already married.
-
Talking about her current husband Chuyuan, Nanhong said she had known him when she was an extra.
-
At the time, he had just joined the studio as a screenwriter.
-
They often chatted to each other as they were about the same age.
-
But they haven't held hands in nine years.
-
They didn't know what dating is.
-
Yang Shaohong and Jiang Meiyi could not help laughing after hearing this.
-
They counldn't believe it and joked that she kept making romantic movies and she didn't know what dating was.
-
Nan Hong went on to say that they were in love in that nine years, but they treated each other in a good manner.
-
They were so innocent that they only went to the theater for fun.
-
Although Nan Hong and Chu Yuan's love was very pure when they were dating,
-
in 53 years since they were married, they are quite affectionate.
-
They often attend events together.
-
"Hold your hand and grow old together," it should be about them.
-
Chu Yuan is remembered not as a film director but as a veteran supporting actor on TVB.
-
He played Cheng Feng's father in "Armed Reaction" and a director in "The Legendary Four Aces."
-
He is often seen in the series as affable and humorous.
-
Chu Yuan's significance to the Hong Kong film industry is not just a simple creator or artist.
-
Chu Yuan's own filmmaking experience is almost half of Hong Kong film history.
-
The direction of Chinese cinema at the time can be measured by the films he directed.
-
Chu Yuan has a solid foundation in literature and rich genres of films.
-
Although his heyday as a director came in the 1970s when he was making martial arts films at Shaw Brothers,
-
when he first got into the business, he was making feature films.
-
City movies, whose aim is to show Cantonese and Hong Kong life, adapted from sky novels were popular in the 1950s.
-
Chu Yuan's early representative works, "Grass by the Lake" and "The great devotion" are among the best.
-
In 1973, "House of 72 Tenants"
-
which brought together popular stars such as Yue Hua, Jing Li, and Shen Dianxia, which beat Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon"
-
It becomes the box office champion and one of the most classic Cantonese city love films.
-
In 1956 he had not yet met his wife, Nan Hong.
-
At that time, Nanhong was a young actress who made her debut in "The seventh Heaven" with Guangyi Film Company.
-
Two years later, Chu Yuan directed his first film, "Lake Grass" independently at Guangyi.
-
Nan Hong is one of the leading ladies.
-
They met through the film and spent more than half a century together.
-
In the late 1950s, due to limited funds, Guangyi Film company could not spend as much money as Shaw Brothers to make elaborate costumes or build a studio.
-
Therefore, they focused on small character comedies.
-
Huang Zhuohan appreciated Chu Yuan's talent and invited him to join Lingguang.
-
Chu Yuan shot "The Diary of a Big Man" and "Doomed Love" as expected.
-
"The Diary of a Big Man“ was reshot in the late 1980s, in which Zhou Runfa, Ye Qianwen and Wang Zuxian starred and directed by Chu Yuan.
-
It grossed tens of millions at the box office.
-
At the time, it was a big hit.
-
In the late 1960s, Cantonese films went from bad to worse.
-
Chu Yuan joined Cathay Film to make mandarin films.
-
Later, he joined Shaw Brothers to make martial arts films and his career reached its peak.
-
In the 1970s, there was a saying that Zhang Che, Chu Yuan and Hu Jinquan were the troika of Hong Kong martial arts films.
-
But there is a clear difference between Chu Yuan's martial arts films and those of the other two.
-
Let me make an analogy that's not quite right.
-
Zhang Che and Hu Jinquan were Jackie Chan or Donnie Yen in Chinese cinema at the time.
-
They can be identified directly with the labels Kung Fu, martial arts, and masculinity.
-
Chu Yuan was Ang Lee of today.
-
He attached more importance to literary drama than to martial arts.
-
Ang Lee made "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," but he also made "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lust, Caution."
-
Chu Yuan made Jin Yong and Gu Long's films, but he also made "Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan."
-
In this period of martial arts films, Chu Yuan's literary foundation once again established recognition for him.
-
Since the mid-1970s,
-
Chu Yuan has brought Gu Long's novels as "The Magic Blade" "Chu Liuxiang" " Jade Tiger" "Against the Blade of Honour" and "Sword Master" to the screen.
-
He made Di Long, Er Dongsheng and many other actors famous.
-
Gu Long's novels are very difficult to film.
-
Because his novels are too trivial and too bouncing.
-
Had his novel's moon descriptions been given to unimaginative directors,
-
they might have hung a fake moon the size of a pancake in the studio and shot close-ups for a few seconds.
-
Chu Yuan popularized the gorgeous novels of Gu Long without losing the natural temperament of the original works.
-
Anyone who has read the novel "The Magic Blade" probably remembers the meaningless questions at the beginning of the novel.
-
Chu Yuan deleted those questions.
-
Instead, he let Fu Hongxue to come out of the darkness as he read the poem.
-
"Some people come home late in the world. People are always sad at night. The world should also be sad."
-
This sentence was originally written by Chu Yuan, not in Gu Long's novels.
-
It's not hard to see why he could write "Ignore the issues in the world, laugh and be at ease."
-
Chu Yuan won the best action director award at the "Asia Pacific Film Festival" in 1979 for his work Murder Plot, which is adapted from Gu Long's "The Swordsman."
-
The film stars Jiang Dawei and Yu Anan.
-
After this film, Chu Yuan's career showed signs of slipping.
-
In the late 1970s, Hong Kong's new wave rose.
-
Hong Kong films were becoming increasingly diverse in subject matter and genres.
-
Shaw Brothers' martial arts films took a hit as audiences had more options.
-
Chu Yuan joined TVB as an actor after making several comedy films in the late 1980s.
-
Then there were images of white-haired old men with charming simplicity on the screen.
-
He's been in the film business for the better part of a century, and he hasn't won many awards.
-
Compared with Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan, Chuyuan did not have much luck.
-
He said in his acceptance speech, "Life has its ups and downs.
-
Whether you had a good day or a bad day, get up tomorrow and move on. Your luck will be different in different places."
-
The people he worked with in the 1990s began to become mainstays.
-
But he did supporting roles on TVB.
-
In his acceptance speech, he quoted "How the Steel Was Tempered"
-
"When you look back on the past, you will not regret for a mediocre life, you will not be ashamed for a wasted life."
-
After the new century, the two old people have lived in retirement.
-
Nan Hong gradually withdrew from show business.
-
She spent more time on other interests such as Guzheng,Erhu and painting.
-
Chu Yuan was also rarely seen in recent years.
-
He prefers to watch TV, eat and sleep at home.
-
In 2014, it was rumored on the Internet that Chu Yuan had brain degeneration.
-
Later, Nanhong clarified her husband's spirit is very good, just do not want to go out and do not want to participate in social gatherings.
-
He was photographed looking depressed simply because he didn't wear makeup.
-
He traveled on crutches because he was worried about safety.
-
Nan Hong and Chu Yuan are the model couple in the entertainment circle.
-
They lived together for 50 years and had a golden wedding, which was very admirable.
-
They showed us what true love is.
-
Wish them good health and a long life.
-
So that's it for today's video.
