Twenty years in the Milky way, those golden supporting roles who should not be forgotten

since the beginning of this year, a large number of excellent Hong Kong films have appeared in front of us. For example, the Best Picture of this year's Academy Awards is an unspeakable film, as well as "treading the Blood to find the Plum", which is arranged for all the rest of the awards.

recently, it is mainly the world of the image of the Milky Way, and Boss du matches you Naihai's "threesome". Although the film has mixed reviews, these two people can also be called a golden combination of a generation, and the three young directors of the new generation of Galaxy are even more eye-catching. Based on the stories of the three real kings of thieves in the history of Hong Kong, I have personally booked it as the best Hong Kong film of the year.

in addition, there is also a dark horse-Lao Li. Director and screenwriter Zhaohuo turns the ordinary night of a convenience store into a fascinating one by turning it over and over again, which has fascinated all cult film lovers.

therefore, during this time, Hong Kong films are so grand that many Hong Kong film lovers who are interested in the world have begun to talk about the revival of Hong Kong films, and some even say that this year may be the big year of Hong Kong films. As a film lover who purely likes watching movies and has no intention of giving advice, he does not want to analyze these things. He just wants to complain a little bit. It seems that someone will say this every time there is a slightly better Hong Kong film.

in the words of my friend @ pharmacist, I can't keep my mouth shut about interesting things.

for these films, my focus is that they all have the same cast, and they are all actors of the older generation in Hong Kong. For example, Lin Xue appeared in the "threesome", "the Tree attracts the Wind" and "Lao Li" at the same time. Since this group of people did not play the leading roles, we called them "golden supporting roles".

so I intend to take this opportunity to talk about the golden supporting actors who are willing to be green leaves and finally successfully enter the public eye of Hong Kong films-- mainly the images of the Milky Way.

when it comes to the supporting role of Galactic Image, the first thing to say is Lin Xue. He is also the one with the highest recognition in this group. There is no doubt that he is the one who has participated in the Galactic Image the most times and the actor who has worked with director Johnnie the most.

"PTU" Lin Xue

in almost every movie produced by Galaxy Image, you can wait for Lin Xue to appear like a colored egg. Just like Grandpa Stan Lee made a guest appearance in a Marvel movie, the simple and honest dead fat man also turned himself into the mascot of the Milky way image.

although Lin Xue's appearance determines that he can only play a supporting role, a supporting role is by no means a failure. From the former running errands to the royal male match of Johnnie, Lin Xue's acting career is inextricably linked with the 20-year image of the Milky Way. So Lin Xue himself once said: the image of the Milky Way is home, Director du is the father, I can never lose the face of Johnnie to.

you can see how much Director du admires him from the degree of grabbing the scene every time Lin Xue is in the movie. Starting from the two full-length characters in Dark Flower and very sudden, they gradually become an important supporting role in Gun Fire and banishment and even become one of the protagonists in PTU.

Lin Xue has played a variety of roles, from a gangster to a bad cop, including individual killers and even passers-by, but his iconic fat figure and cute expression are always memorable in his short appearance.

it can be said that if it were not for the connection with the impression of the Milky way, he might still be an unknown name in the subtitles at the end of the film. Today, he has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor in Taiwan's Golden Horse Award for "gunfire."

although he did not win the award, he became a popular powerful actor. According to statistics, since the general weakness of Hong Kong films in 2000, Lin Xue has received a staggering number of more than 130 films in the past decade.

and in 2015, he was nominated for Best Actor at the 21st Hong Kong Film Critics Association Award for his role in the movie "early that Night, I sat on a Red VAN bound for Tai Po in Mong Kok". This is also the first time that Lin Xue has been nominated as an actor since her film career, but she was finally defeated by Liu Qingyun, who was eavesdropping on Fengyun 3.

Lin Xue, the picture is from the Shadow Man page. It should be the masterpiece of a bean friend

. It can be said that Lin Xue is already a more successful supporting role, and the only supporting role that is more influential than him is probably Zhou Xingchi's royal supporting role, Wu Magda. But in my opinion, there is a more successful supporting role in Galaxy than Lin Xue, who successfully jumps from the supporting role to the protagonist, which is Lin Jiadong, one of the three kings of thieves in "the Tree attracts the Wind".

although he is an unyielding protagonist in this film, he has starred in nearly 60 films since he joined the industry in 1988, mostly in supporting roles. Like many Hong Kong artists, Lin Jiadong started his acting career by joining a training course for wireless artists.

Lin Jiadong

Lin Jiadong

in the early days, he often starred in leading roles in TV dramas because of his handsome appearance. What I still remember is Yuan Chengzhi in Sword Stained with Royal Blood, full of childhood memories. Lin Jiadong's film career officially started in 2002, when he had just joined the ranks of TVB students, but he resolutely joined Andy Lau's Yingyi Entertainment and turned to the film industry.

since then, he has made more than a dozen films with his boss and best friend Andy Lau. Although he did not become a hit at once, he can be regarded as a sublimation of his acting skills. One of the more classic characters is undercover brother number two in Infernal Affairs.

until his bond with the Milky way gave him a chance to perform. In 2005, "the underworld" and the foolhardy Dongguan boy in the sequel "Triad 2: harmony is precious" won him the nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 11th Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Awards. "The arrogant and domineering omelet in banishment is also one of the impressive supporting roles, and the role of the perverted policeman with seven personalities in Detective is one of his wonderful performances.

Lin Jiadong

until 2013, when Liu Dehua invested in "the Storm," Lin Jiadong finally had a chance to play a leading role, playing the role of Tao Chengbang, who stood on the edge of good and bad, playing on the same stage as Andy Lau. But the worse thing is that the film is a bit grandiose, has gone too far, and is not a particularly flattering film.

and this time playing Ji Zhengxiong in the Story of the Wind can be said to be a big explosion of Lin Jiadong's acting skills over the years. Of the three kings of thieves, Ji Zhengxiong is the most silent and the most resourceful. He is not only ruthless and murderous but also cautious and changeable, and unpredictable. Although there are not many lines, his eyes, expressions, and movements are interpreted very appropriately by Lin Jiadong.

it is said that Xu Xuewen, the director of Ji Zhengxiong's part, thought of Lin Jiadong to play this role at the stage of screenwriting. Now that he is over 50 years old, he may be able to step out of his supporting role and play several classic protagonists with sufficient strength.

go on to talk about an older golden supporting role, that is Lu Haipeng, who has recently been ridiculed as the busiest grandfather in Hong Kong's film industry. In the threesome, he plays Zhong Hanliang's clinical patient but becomes a key figure in Zhong Hanliang's access to the handcuff key.

Lu Haipeng

this role in the film is endowed with a very profound meaning by Johnnie too. Compared with the intrigues between police and bandits, sentient beings are unrepentant about life, old age, sickness, and death, and he is just giggling. He feels like a fool. Maybe he is the real winner in life in the movie.

Lu Haipeng is quite legendary. Born in Guangdong, he only sneaked into Hong Kong by swimming when he was young, then surrendered to the police station and obtained the right of abode in Hong Kong. He is also from the TVB training course, and his classmates include the famous Chow Yun-fat and Wu Magda, as well as Johnnie, who often takes him to film later.

at that time, as the leading pillar of the wireless station, he was famous for being funny and playing other artists and celebrities. Impressive ones include the dads in the funny drama "Shrimp Daddy", in which Lu Haipeng and boiled tripe speak some rhyming dialogues.

Our magnificent teenage bridesmaid dresses make a great look for nearly any locale. Our beat gift is our unique selection.

after moving into the film industry, Lu Haipeng is willing to be the green leaf under the lens of Johnnie too. The louder in Dark Flower, the bald head in PTU, the master of Louis Koo in Judo Dragon and Tiger, Fu Jiantang in Wenque and Zhong Yuan in King of death, and successfully won the Best Supporting Actor at the 2012 Hong Kong Film Awards for this role.

Lu Haipeng

when he was young, Lu Haipeng often played some bad roles because he was fierce. Nowadays, Lu Haipeng's on-screen image always has the iconic white stubble, long or short, but there will always be some. But it must have been scraped off in the threesome.

after talking about Lu Haipeng, I have to say that another major supporting role in the trio is also Zhang Zhaohui, one of the golden supporting roles of Johnnie. Born in a wireless TV station, he has been starring in various TV dramas in his early years, and the image of Shengyong in "Veyron" has been well received by the acting circle.

in "Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre" by Wu Qihua class, which impressed me most, he played the role of bright left emissary Yang Kui, handsome and unrestrained, which became the object that I often imitated in my childhood. Of course, to mention a little bit, the most classic in this play is Zhao Min, played by Li Zi, who is simply a goddess of childhood.

Zhang Zhaohui

it was not until after 2000 that Zhang Zhaohui began to appear in more movies. In 2003, he played the role of sir in "Big Guy has Great Wisdom" directed by Johnnie To, and was nominated for a best supporting role at the 2004 Hong Kong Film Golden Horse Awards. This not only opened the door to the film world for him but also opened his career in a supporting role in the Galaxy.

he has created a series of classic marginal characters in Johnnie to's films. Although they are not protagonists, his diversified roles always excite the audience and make people feel that good and evil can switch between good and evil at will.

for example, there are some inexplicable barbarians in the list of judo dragons and tigers, and the uncertain character of Shi Su in two "underworld" movies. I still have a deep memory of what Shi Shi Su said to the police at the beginning; and the middleman in "banishment", who buys the news quietly in everyone's ear, the tone is cadence, high and low, which is very interesting.

Zhang Zhaohui

and in the recent "threesome", Zhang Zhaohui plays a rational director of brain surgery, in contrast to the powerful Zhao Wei. One believes that you should try your best and don't put too much pressure on yourself, while the other is eager to save the patient through his surgery.

I am also curious about Zhang Zhaohui, that is, it seems that all his characters have a strange accent, especially the teacher Su in the underworld, which has a slight feeling of stuttering in addition to the accent. But I haven't recognized the accent all the time, so I can dig it down again when I have a chance.

in addition, there is a supporting role, although he is not the official team of the Galaxy, his two Galaxy films fascinated me and completely reduced to his loyal fans. He is Zhang Yaoyang, who is very handsome with a gun.

"gunfire" Zhang Yaoyang

A model background, he was first discovered by director Lin Lingdong and filmed Dragon and Tiger Fengyun. Since then, he has turned to the film industry. During his career, he has made about 90 films. Because of his rough appearance and cold eyes, he is widely known for playing villains and gangsters, and more than 80% of the characters in his acting career are villains.

such as the fierce and domineering "handsome Brother" in the most classic "School style". This oneThe character is so popular that some people still call him "handsome Brother". In "The Prison", the prison guard played by Zhang Yaoyang is even more hopeless and is scolded as a "shit-eating dog" by Ah Zheng, played by Chow Yun-fat. When Fage bit his ear off, I don't know how many people clapped and applauded.

and he is in the "Gu Qianzai" series, first in the role of crow, and then in Dongxing Yaoyang. It is said that the crew at that time was very short of actors, so they had to let people live and die, and die and live again. But the only one who grasps the different roles out of his flavor is Brother Yao Yang, no matter the impulsive crow or the elegant and cruel Yaoyang is performed vividly by him.

Zhang Yaoyang

of course, these roles are not the main reasons why I like him. The main reason for liking him is that he starred in two films directed by Johnnie To, "Gun Fire" and "banishment". In these two films, Zhang Yaoyang plays the image of two superb shooters with reticent gunmen with long yellowed hair without saying a word. But in the face of the enemy, it is an extremely reliable, accurate position, it is simply a word: handsome.

especially in my favorite Galaxy movie banishment, every character is full of heroism, every bullet is romantic, and every gunfight scene is wanton and freely. and the whole story is full of righteous love, which fascinates me very much.

in my opinion, Zhang Yaoyang is a person with this temperament, so in these two films, he and Huang Qiusheng, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Jiahui, Lin Xue, and others are not defeated at all. Even in the scene of gunfire shooting against a killer with a sniper rifle, it has become one of the classic shootout scenes.

"banish" Zhang Yaoyang

in fact, over the past 20 years, in addition to the above-supporting roles, there are many supporting roles worth mentioning. For example, the fat always plays Wang Tianlin, the predecessor of the underworld organization, Jiang Haowen, who has been playing various bitter roles and dark skin, and Xu Shaoxiong, who always plays all kinds of small potatoes or timid little policemen. And Huang Haoran, who was strongly touted for some time but finally failed to support the wall in the end.

so if we have to sum up the movie miracles created by Galaxy over the past 20 years, apart from a series of directors and writers such as Johnnie to, Wei Jiahui and you Naihai, and a series of big-name stars such as Huang Qiusheng, Ren Dahua, Wu Zhenyu, Ren Xianqi Liu, Dehua and Liu Qingyun, we should not forget these supporting actors who are still shining in the positions of Green leaves.
