preface
In the film industry many years ago, not to mention that there are such a rich types of TV dramas now, even movie stars on the screen are very rare, if they can be famous all over the country from the screen, not to mention how beautiful it is.
In 1993, Stephen Chow, who already had some fame in the film industry, brought a "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" to the Chinese film industry, and once it was released, it won the box office championship of the year and created the peak of nonsensical comedy that year.
Even now, as long as the classic comedy is mentioned, it can piggyback on its name, even after 31 years, the name has endured, and it is still in the top 100 of Douban's must-see list of movies.
In the play, there is not only the perfect match of the leading actors Stephen Chow and Gong Li, but also the joining of many golden supporting roles and the "sacrifice" of the next book have created the legend of this drama.
Even if there are people in the back who want to remake, it is difficult to achieve the glorious record of the past.
Now, 31 years have passed in a blink of an eye, what has become of those actors back then?
Stephen Chow (Tang Bohu)
It can be said that the soul of this comedy should be Stephen Chow, if it weren't for the four talented teams he formed in the play, it is estimated that there would be no "autumn fragrance" plot in the back.
Stephen Chow's characters have always been played, and they are all hindsight that makes people feel pathetic, and when they watch it for the first time, they will always be shaken out of breath by the part where he points out the autumn fragrance.
However, in the aftertaste of change, it is always perceivable that his unbridled laughter is hiding his loneliness.
Stephen Chow won this battle, which completely broadened his comedy path a lot.
Looking at it now, this comedy superstar is now silver-haired, and he said with tears in his eyes on stage that he was already angry, and he couldn't help but sigh that the years are really ruthless.
Gong Li (Qiu Xiang)
At that time, when I watched it for the first time, I felt that there was a lot of chaos around her, and she was the only reserved character, and this kind of false and serious feeling was full of disobedience when I looked at it.
In addition to this feeling, the only thing worthy of praise is her appearance in the film, which is definitely the most amazing one, just the smile that lifted the hijab, as if it was directly piercing Tang Bohu's soul and directly penetrating the audience's heart, and I was excited to see it.
But looking back at her "serious" role, it just makes the movie more layered.
Now, Gong Li has become a veritable international superstar with her unique appearance and acting skills, and as soon as she appeared on the red carpet in Cannes, she let many media take photos collectively, and the influence of the superstar can be seen.
Zheng Peipei (Mrs. Hua)
In fact, compared with Gong Li at that time, Zheng Peipei's acting skills are a big cut off Gong Li, after all, where is her debut year, she has already become famous at that time, and she is also a generation of chivalrous women in the minds of many audiences.
Once, there was an interview about Zheng Peipei, and when I watched it, I couldn't help but admire this actor.
At that time, in order to make a comeback after the divorce, even if she had never been exposed to "Stephen Chow-style" comedy, she took it as usual, and then binge-watched Stephen Chow's movies, so that she could be accustomed to Stephen Chow's tone in this film.
And she played Mrs. Hua in the play, which was originally the identity of the patriarch, and she should have been a serious and funny character, but because it was difficult for Gong Li to complete the role of a harlequin at that time, this burden fell on Zheng Peipei.
In fact, this move has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the audience, why does the heroine have a supporting role to cover the role that the heroine can't do, not to mention that the supporting role's wrist is bigger than the protagonist.
But Zheng Peipei turned a deaf ear and still took on this important responsibility, and it was her abnormal role performance in the play that made the film even more funny.
After this drama, a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" helped her again, and her career was booming.
However, in recent years, she has rarely appeared in the public's field of vision, but she can often hear her information from Liu Tao's mouth, and everyone is waiting for her to appear again, who would have thought that when they saw her, it was an obituary issued by the agency.
On July 17, 2024, Sister Pepe left us forever, only to learn after her death that her condition had been very bad over the years, and finally died of atypical Parkinson's, and at the end she had to donate her brain for expert research.
She dedicated her life to the screen and contributed to medicine after her death, and we will always remember Ms. Cheng Peipei.
Lan Jieying (ex-wife)
Although she played an unknown supporting role in this drama, as soon as she appeared in the film, she was attracted by her cold temperament, and she could still see her excellent foundation without heavy makeup.
Among the eight wives she has married, it is not an exaggeration to say that her appearance occupies the first place, but she is idle at home all day long playing mahjong before finally abandoning them one by one.
After looking at her old photos, no one could help but exclaim that she was not at the peak of her appearance in the play.
In daily life, her simple outfit looks like a Hong Kong sister.
This time, I invited not only to let her help her work, but also to bury such a good actor.
However, I never expected that when she appeared in the public eye again, she would be unrecognizable, and her once beautiful big wavy curls had all turned silvery-white, and her face was even haggard, and she had no beauty at all.
Before she could recover, they received the news that she had died, at the age of 55, and she died at home.
epilogue
In the past 31 years, it has long been a matter of fact, watching some people become famous, some people are old, and some people are gone, and I can't help but sigh when I think about it.
But when I think about it again, I don't feel too sad that there is still this work left to remember them after they die.
May the deceased rest in peace and the living live well.
