At the age of 22, he was taken by Chow Yun Fat. After 23 years of filming, I still haven't made a fortune. Where did he go?

Nowadays, this mode seems to be popular in the entertainment circle, with big IP novels, old drama bones and traffic stars shooting TV dramas.

Generally speaking, if the ratings of such TV series are low, the traffic will not be bad, at least the investment risk will be very low.

But it also attracted many viewers to vomit, completely disrespecting "artistic value" and pure "commercialism".

I have to say that the salary limit order issued by radio and television is to some extent limiting this behavior.

In fact, this model has existed for a long time, but at that time, traffic stars were not like this.

Chow Yun Fat, for example, has a lot of traffic and is also an "old play bone". At that time, the fledgling Liao Weixiong became popular.

Today, let's talk about this red Liao Weixiong.

Lv Liangwei and Chen Yulian's classmates are not as handsome as Lv Liangwei, so how could they become popular earlier than Lv Liangwei?

You may not have heard of Liao Weixiong, but his legendary stories are more exciting than novels, and even somewhat similar to Zhou Jie (as Erkang).

Liao Weixiong was born in Hongkong from 65438 to 0957, but he was from Guangdong.

From 65438 to 0977, Liao Weixiong attended TVB's artist training class.

But you know what? His contemporaries are Lv Liangwei and Chen Yulian, who are all-powerful figures in the entertainment circle in 1980s and 1990s.

In fact, Liao Weixiong is a more casual person. He never wanted to be a star. He once recalled chatting with Lv Liangwei:

You are the most handsome in the same period. Remember to support me when you are red.

Who knows, he found himself earlier than Lv Liangwei.

This is really surprising. Although this is just a joke with Lv Liangwei, on the surface, we still have to respect the objective facts. Lv Liangwei is indeed more popular than he looks.

But you don't know that he mainly participated in some supporting roles in the early days, and he had no condition to think about the protagonist at all.

1979 officially participated in the TV series, and Chow Yun Fat's "Man in the Net" made him quickly popular. I have to say, with the traffic bonus like Chow Yun Fat, it's hard to get rid of it.

In fact, I think there is another reason why Liao Weixiong is so successful in this TV series, and that is the role, a can.

As a new resident from the mainland to Hong Kong, "A Can" struggled in such a big environment, and there was a scene in which "A Can" swallowed 30 hamburgers in one breath. This news instantly became a hot spot at that time.

We don't know what it's like to eat 30 hamburgers in the later period, but this role is accurately and delicately grasped by Liao Weixiong, which reflects the real situation of "new residents".

You may not think that because of his outstanding performance, the name "A Can" has become synonymous with people who moved to Hong Kong from the mainland.

Just like when we watch "gambling movies", "Gambling God AG" is an unavoidable topic; Speaking of Xian Xia's plays, Li Xiaoyao, a troublemaker, is a classic that cannot be forgotten.

This is Liao Weixiong's performing arts. At the age of 22, Chow Yun Fat became popular before Lv Liangwei. This is not surprising.

After filming for 23 years, is he really willing to farm and raise chickens at home without wealth?

Later, he also participated in many works, such as Teapot Family, Fortune Superman, Flying Stars and Searching for Dragons, and even worked as a part-time host.

In fact, for Liao Weixiong, as long as he has something to do, he is not so picky.

He has no outstanding appearance, only a gentle temper and excellent acting skills, so he looks at Chow Yun Fat and Lv Liangwei all the time, and there is nothing to be jealous of.

Besides, Liao Weixiong is a person who is willing to try new things. He tried comedies and even played Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau in variety shows.

He didn't deliberately package himself. It is best for him to have something to do.

Can you imagine a big man dressed as a woman cooking on the show?

He did it, and this attempt caused quite a stir at that time.

But in the mid-1990s, he began to invest in beauty, and even started karaoke in the mainland, because he was a person with a serious "root-seeking" plot.

But none of them succeeded, and they were in debt. There is no way but to pay off the debt slowly through some supporting actors.

In 200 1 year, he finally made up his mind to "seek roots", settled in Guangdong and began to farm and raise chickens.

In 23 years, I went to agriculture before I got rich.

Don't laugh, people respect technology and focus on developing organic agriculture.

Is it like Zhou Jie who became popular in the early days, experienced various setbacks in the middle and finally went home to "seek roots" to develop agriculture?

I have to say, it's amazing.

What is even more unexpected is that because A Can is so classic, some media specially went to his farm for an exclusive interview to understand his current development.

I really can't believe that a TV station interviewed a "supporting role" decades ago, which only shows that A Can is really classic.

Liao Weixiong, 63, is not rich in his 23-year film career, but he has achieved everything we have been pursuing.

Now, Liao Weixiong is 63 years old, devoted to farming and raising chickens, and often dressed as a farmer, just like we go to the fields.

However, he also said that he loves acting and wants to try some role-playing when he has the opportunity.

At this time, he is purely interested, not a career.

I think this is what we have been pursuing! Do the work you like, even have some small desires, smile all day, be gentle with others, and never hide your nature.

Although, from the moment he stepped into the entertainment circle to his retirement, in the past 23 years, he has not been rich and expensive, or even accomplished nothing. In the end, he chose to "take root", return to nature and be his truest self, but he was real and happy.

I hope that one day, I can have such a realm and such an ability to return to the original point and take root.

Do you like this Liao Weixiong? Have you ever thought that one day you can find your true self like him?
