On February 27th, 20021,the popular actor Ng Man Tat died in Hong Kong at the age of 70.
From February of 10, when I was shooting a poster for a movie, I suddenly suffered from heart discomfort, and then I was admitted to the hospital due to illness on February 2 1 0, and then I died of liver cancer. The torture of the disease left no message for the uncle.
His social platform finally stopped at the sentence "I'm from China".
During Dashu's anti-cancer, many netizens also focused on Stephen Chow. Until Dashu entered the ICU, the reporter was still asking Tian Qiwen about Stephen Chow.
In fact, it's understandable that everyone wants to know what's going on in Stephen Chow. After all, the golden combination of Ng Man Tat and Stephen Chow is the youth of several generations.
It's just that they haven't cooperated since 200 1 shaolin soccer, with an interval of 20 years, so the news of their discord has been heard many times over the years, but what caused the golden combination to stop cooperating is still a mystery.
In fact, in an interview a few years ago, Dashu also mentioned this issue. He said that if they had a chance to sit together, he would like to talk about their past.
What special past still haunts the tree?
10 2, Ng Man Tat was born in Xiamen. Because of his father's work, my uncle moved to Hong Kong with his family at the age of seven. He didn't like studying since he was a child, so he only went to junior high school.
Although there is a shop that makes high-grade medicinal materials at home, it is not enough to support this family of seven, so grandpa who likes movies often skips tickets to watch movies. When checking tickets, he hid in the toilet and ran out after checking. Every time I go home from the movies, my uncle must imitate in front of the mirror.
1973, Ng Man Tat, who was 2 1 year old, stood out among thousands of people and entered the third TVB artist training class in Hong Kong.
1979, the legend of Chu Liuxiang became popular in Xinmatai and Taiwan Province province, which raised the male No.2 Ng Man Tat to a very high level. Dashu said that those years were the most absurd time in his life.
After becoming famous, he gradually degenerated, drank and gambled with girls every day, lost all his savings in less than a year, and owed 300 thousand gambling debts, which was hidden by the company.
Fortunately, with the help of Chow Yun Fat and others, Ng Man Tat came out of the trough.
1987, at this time, Ng Man Tat has returned to the state of continuous film appointments, while Stephen Chow is still the host of children's programs.
The two met through a TV series called Heroes on Earth. After contact, the tree knew that Xing Zi actually lived opposite him. Because Dashu can't drive, Stephen Chow became his "driver".
Although Uncle is older than Master Xing 1 1 years old, in this way, the two of them became friends who talked about everything. Gradually, they simply talked about acting from their parents, and the occasion for chatting changed from the car to the coffee shop.
Perhaps neither of them thought that in a few years, they would open a new chapter in Hong Kong comedy movies.
The following year, Ng Man Tat and Stephen Chow once again collaborated on a TV series called "He Comes from the Jianghu". Through the cooperation of this drama, they completely became friends who talked about everything.
Because neither of them is the main line of the play, they have figured out how to shoot it to make it look more interesting.
In order to make the performance closer to life, Ng Man Tat and Stephen Chow went to various crowded places to observe people's state, until one night they disguised as lovers and went to a place where young couples dated. It seems that the uncle and Master Xing are chatting, but in fact they are eavesdropping on others.
After absorbing the essence of "Wulitou", Dashu and Stephen Chow successfully grafted it into the performance. The outstanding performance once overshadowed the protagonist's limelight, and its unique performance style also attracted the attention of director Liu Zhenwei.
1990, Liu Zhenwei invited Dashu and Stephen Chow to star in the movie Gambling Saint. Dashu said that the writers particularly disliked them at first, because many things written by Dashu and Stephen Chow were changed beyond recognition, but the theme remained.
During the filming of Gambling Saint, whenever they are particularly satisfied with their "nonsense" scenes, Uncle and Stephen Chow will hide and open more than 100 pieces of canned abalone to celebrate, and Uncle will give Stephen Chow the big one for himself to eat the small one.
Because "Gambling Saint" is the pioneering work of this golden combination "Wulitou" film, what they care most about is the audience's reaction.
After the film was released, Uncle and Stephen Chow chose a midnight performance and sneaked into the cinema to see the audience's reaction.
What they didn't expect was that their performance made the audience laugh. On the way home, Uncle and Stephen Chow were ecstatic because they succeeded.
In the end, The Gambling Saint, which was completely different from Chow Yun Fat's gambler, grossed over HK$ 40 million, making it the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong that year.
After the success of Gambling Saint, Ng Man Tat and Stephen Chow ushered in the golden age of their careers. At the busiest time, Da Shu filmed Andy Lau in the morning, Tony Leung Chiu Wai in the afternoon, Yam Tat-wah in the evening and Stephen Chow in the early morning.
Although there are many leading actors to cooperate, it has not affected his cooperation with Stephen Chow at all.
From a gambler in 1990 to shaolin soccer in 200 1, the two experienced close cooperation in 10 years.
It was not until 2004, after the release of Kung Fu directed by Stephen Chow, that everyone discovered that Uncle Da was gone.
In fact, Dashu revealed during his lifetime that Stephen Chow's Kung Fu did have his role, and Dashu also made a schedule for Kung Fu from May to July, but he didn't expect to encounter SARS until mid-July.
But Stephen Chow can wait, but Dashu can't, because the schedule behind him has been arranged. In order not to delay other crews and pay high liquidated damages, Dashu had to give up this cooperation.
But no one expected that the 20-year cooperation between the two broke down.
In the past 20 years, Dashu has participated in many film and television works. He appeared in 32 TV plays and 24 movies.
Over the years, Da Shu has kept his performance correct. When filming The Wandering Earth, Jason Wu once praised the doyen for "never using scripts for scenes, because he memorized each other's conversations."
Except for lines, big trees are no less physically active than young people. When filming The Wandering Earth, Dashu and other young actors all wore exoskeleton clothes weighing several tens of pounds. Even Jason Wu said that wearing this thing to hang Weiya felt that he had half a fan of pork, but the 66-year-old tree didn't "complain".
A few years ago, Uncle Da said in an interview with the Beijing News that he wanted to write an autobiography, Ng Man Tat. In Da Shu's imagination, this autobiography is a tragicomedy. The protagonist used to be a very good actor, but he has Alzheimer's disease. He has a lovely side and a sad side.
Uncle said that in this autobiography, he would try to find the actors he had worked with before, but unfortunately this wish could not be realized in person.
At 5: 25 pm on February 27th, Tian Qiwen told us the news of Dashu's death through the media.
Fortunately, in the last stage of my uncle's life, the doctor kept giving him medicine, so my uncle walked peacefully.
In the last few seconds of his life, the tree heard the cries of relatives and friends. He opened his eyes with his will and gave everyone an expression. This was the last time he saw the world.
