Although the acquaintance is very shallow, it seems to be years! . In this issue, Xiao Xiang takes everyone into Chen Xunqi, the last all-rounder in Hong Kong, to learn about his legendary story!
If you like Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei, you must not miss Ashes of Time and A Chinese Odyssey. When you indulge in the mysterious, mysterious, magnificent, sad and agile melody in the film, few people know that Ren Woxing and Love, the pinnacle of Asian film soundtracks, were both created by Chen Xunqi.
Of course, it is certainly insignificant to judge Chen Xunqi only by his score, because he is the best score among Hong Kong film directors, the best producer in the score, the best coach among the producers, the best screenwriter in the coach's guidance, one of the most famous actors in the screenwriter and one of the most successful directors among the actors. ...
195 1 was born in Chen Xunqi. His family is very rich, and when he was young, it coincided with the golden age of Hong Kong's film and television industry. However, his father's business failure led to the decline of his family. At a young age, he can only step into the society early and stir up the burden of life with tender shoulders.
When I was a child, Chen Xunqi dreamed of becoming a movie star, but she was too thin to do it.
Until 15 years old, under the recommendation of relatives, Chen Xunqi studied under Wang Fuling, the "chief musician of Bernard Shaw", and then embarked on the "music point of no return".
Speaking of Wang Fuling, it's not enough to just pay homage to his classical music works, such as My China Heart and A Late Bell in Nanping. I can't get over it. Being carefully taught by this master is also the main reason why Chen Xunqi can create a musical legend in the future.
Before learning from Wang Fuling, Chen Xunqi was naive. In order to look more mature, he deliberately grew a moustache. Since then, the symbol of "moustache".
In order to keep healthy, Chen Xunqi studied Dragon Boxing, Manta Boxing and Wing Chun Boxing, and got a black belt in Taekwondo in his early twenties. Since then, he has devoted all his life's study to movies.
Legendary director Wong Kar-wai once commented on Chen Xunqi: "He is a real genius."
Under the guidance of Wang Fuling and Chen Xunqi's talent, he was quickly favored by major film and television companies. From the 1970s to the early 1980s, he covered more than 75% of the film and television soundtracks in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he could do whatever he wanted, no matter what genre.
It may not be impressive to generalize Chen Xunqi in such a general way, but when it comes to the soundtrack of Shaw's classic martial arts films such as Two Chivalrous Men, Tianya Yueming Dao and meteor butterfly sword, Chen Xunqi in his early twenties will be impressed.
Chen Xunqi, who is in his thirties, has become one of the "top musicians", earning even more than a first-line superstar. However, for fans, he is just a "most familiar stranger" who only knows his voice and doesn't know his name.
Unwilling to feel lonely in the music world, Chen Xunqi began to seek transformation, and at the same time wanted to leave more opportunities for newcomers, so he planned to seek a breakthrough in the directing world and set his sights on the "Bald Maijia" who came back from the gold rush in the United States.
When he heard that Pu mainly worshipped himself as a teacher for nothing, Mai was flattered at once, but he couldn't stand it, so he nervously accepted this "closed disciple".
Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, teddy robin, etc. In the "struggle room", the "seven eccentrics of the new art city" was formed, and from then on, there was another "moustache" with an open mind for advice.
198 1 year, Chen Xunqi and Golden Princess Group jointly established Yongjia Film Company. In the past few years, he has handed over the perfect answer sheet to the fans with high box office movies such as My Fair Lady, The Hollow Man and Beware of Little Hands.
At the same time, he also proved to the world that "moustache" can be brilliant without music!
At that time, Jackie Chan was famous for his works such as Drunken Boxing and Snake-shaped Diao Hands, but he was trapped in the bottleneck of action movies in the Republic of China and it was difficult to find a new breakthrough.
Jackie Chan saw Fashion Comedy Movies and Beware of Small Hands, and suddenly realized that he went to Chen Xunqi for advice, which led to the series of Five-Star Lucky Star and Never Give Up.
In the early 1990s, Chen Xunqi and Jackie Chan jointly directed Project Eagle and Thunderbolt, which not only pushed the director's career to the peak, but also improved his martial arts attainments.
In the 10 years when he devoted himself to directing, Chen Xunqi effectively "washed his hands". However, during that period, a large number of new talented musicians such as Hu Weili and Chi Wing Chung also appeared. Music stars of the same age, David Henry Hwang and Gu Jiahui, are in full swing.
1993, perhaps because of the unbearable technical itch, when Dong Shengyi was dissatisfied with the composer "Bao Bida" of the film "Love Endless" and then found Chen Xunqi to save the scene, he agreed without thinking, so this award-winning classic came into being.
In order to thank Chen Xunqi, Dong Shengyi paid a special tribute at the end of the film, and his admiration and gratitude were beyond words.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!
The news of Chen Xunqi's "returning to his old job" immediately shocked the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles. At that time, there were people everywhere, and looking for his music broke the threshold.
Returning to the Jianghu, as a former master of music, Chen Xunqi is low-key and calm, because he knows that if he wants to prove himself again in the new era of talented people, he must have the ability of continuous innovation.
At this time, a down and out "young man" appeared. He is Wong Kar-wai, whose works are the slowest, and is called "the most useless screenwriter in New Art City".
Contrary to everyone's opinion, Chen Xunqi liked Wong Kar-wai's unconstrained style, so he integrated it into his staff, dedicated the immortal work "Ashes of Time" to everyone, and created the famous song "Ren Woxing".
This sad song has been used in movies A Chinese Odyssey and A Chinese Odyssey, as well as Jackie Lui's version of the legendary swordsman and Felix Wong Yat Wa's version of Dragon.
In every classic scene, the audience will be impressed by the superb acting skills of the actors. Unfortunately, few people know the background music Chen Xunqi, and no one thanks him for baptizing your ears with pure music.
Later, Wong Kar-wai reached the peak of directing with Chongqing Forest and fallen angels, and the soundtrack still came from the moustache.
While pushing Wong Kar-wai to the top, Chen Xunqi once again chose to retreat from the torrent and disappear from the music scene again. The reason is simple: unwilling to be lonely, he wants to challenge a new field, which is to be a good actor.
From Ni Fei, the great villain with superb martial arts in the kung fu film "Be merciful", to the prodigal son in the martial arts film "Border Town", to Ren Tianxiang, a gentle man in the time drama "Tango", from a kung fu teenager to a patriot, people and drama can always be integrated every time their roles change.
With regard to the story of Chen Xunqi, three days of cooking wine can't tell the story of his legendary life: at the peak of grading, he made room for new people, and at the peak of directing, he spared no effort to support the younger generation!
In the past 50 years, Chen Xunqi has constantly broken through herself in new fields, and she can complete a gorgeous turn every time.
Nowadays, the 70-year-old "moustache" has experienced many vicissitudes, hiding all the legends in wrinkles. Perhaps, he can no longer "tango" and laugh at Border Town, but please remember this "most familiar stranger"!
