Adam Cheng: a handsome man all his life.

1947 Adam Cheng was born in a scholarly family. His father is Professor Huang from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and his mother is a traditional housewife who educates her children at home. At that time, Adam Cheng's name was Huang Kezhong, and his parents had nine brothers and sisters.

It is said that Professor Huang is a romantic and unbearable lady Huang took Huang Kezhong and remarried to a gentleman named Zheng. Since then, Huang Kezhong has changed his name to Zheng Chuangshi. In this family, parents added three siblings to Zheng Chuangshi. At this time, Zheng Chuangshi's family had a large population and complicated situation. As the eldest of the family, he came out to travel in the society in his teens and took on the responsibility of helping his mother take care of the family early.

When Zheng Chuangshi was a child, his academic performance was not good, and he did not set a good example for his younger brothers and sisters, but he showed great acting talent.

Zheng Chuangshi, 1963 16 years old, was admitted to artists' training courses such as Daxi, Wentong and Nanguo (Xiao) successively, but his father did not support him to take the road of acting because the status of actors was very low at that time. Fortunately, his mother knew that he was definitely not the material for studying, so she secretly gave him a training fee.

Zheng Chuangshi, who entered the training class, was outstanding in appearance, energetic and handsome, and fascinated many girls in the class. However, the producer didn't like him and thought that the boy was not an honest man at first sight, so he didn't have any chance to perform at all, even in a group. Seeing that Elliot Ngok and Pei-Pei Cheng at the same time had made a circle with martial arts, they stopped. Young Zheng Chuangshi was unwilling to do nothing, so he chose to take part in the drama, and he also took Liang Ming, the head of Hong Kong drama, as a teacher to polish his acting skills and practice the basic skills of the drama stage.

Talent and hard work pay off. 1967, 20-year-old Zheng Chuangshi represented the Tsim Sha Tsui Neighborhood Welfare Association in the Hong Kong Opera Competition and starred in Brothers. Unexpectedly, he won the "best actor award" unanimously agreed by the judges. Decades later, Qiu Xian talked about the performance. "This is the first best actor award in my life, and it is precisely because of this that I have the opportunity to be signed by a film company."

Zheng Chuangshi, who entered the "Dazhi Film Company", took part in the film "Black Star", which was regarded as his official debut. The heroine who cooperates with him is Chen Baozhu, a famous "fan princess". Weiguang Jiang, the director of the film, thought that the name Zheng Chuangshi was too corny and had no memory, so he changed it to "Adam Cheng".

But at this time, Adam Cheng is still 108,000 miles away from the charming big star in our hearts.

In the film market in transition, Cantonese films are becoming more and more depressed. Adam Cheng, who can't speak Mandarin, can only work as a temporary worker in the company, earning 250 yuan every month and 50 yuan every year. It takes five years to sign. When he was down and out, Adam Cheng sang in a bar, and even asked his friends about making money by knitting sweaters. So he knitted sweaters all night and bought machines with his hard-earned money. Unfortunately, the machines were always disconnected and sweaters could not be knitted. The first enterprise in Adam Cheng declared a loss.

What is commendable, however, is that although he has no money and can't see the future, Adam Cheng has never given up his passion for acting and never lowered his actor's quality. Even though he only played a small role, he tried to take it seriously again and again. Who said that you must be a hero first, so that you can hone your acting skills, accumulate experience over time and walk more solidly?

1970, Adam Cheng was appreciated by Cai Zhengcan, a wireless TV station, and invited him as the host of the music program "Heartbeat", which also marked that he became a member of wireless. Later, director Cai Heping dug up the popular entertainment program Happy Tonight on Hong Kong Island, but he was just a handyman, responsible for singing, dancing, acting and imitating.

However, no matter what he does and how many shots he throws, Adam Cheng can keep full of enthusiasm. What has changed over the years is the identity of actors, singers and hosts. Constant is always careful thinking and serious practice. As time goes by, he has found the rules of the stage, and his sense of change is erupting. Especially in the imitation performance, it is really what it wants. The most famous one was that he wore a white navy uniform, a cocked military cap to cover his eyes, painted bright red lipstick and nail polish, imitated the famous Japanese singer Kenji Sawada, and sang "Oh GAL" swaggering, which caused a sensation on Hong Kong Island.

The program "Happy Tonight" keenly captured the plasticity of this young man, and also set up a fixed column "Strong Autumn Show" for him, which won Adam Cheng a Jianghu nickname "Dressing up for Autumn".

At that time, he had become a general in Happy Tonight, because he could sing, dance, act and do everything. He is very useful.

At 197 1, Adam Cheng had a chance to star in a TV series. "Warm Home" is his first TV series, and his good acting also won him the "Most Promising Newcomer Award".

1973 is the rising period of Adam Cheng's career. The classic novel "Qiong Yao misty rain" was shot by wireless, which is the first color long drama of wireless. Adam Cheng not only plays the first hero, He Shuhuan, but also sings the theme song of the TV series of the same name, which is the first time of its kind in Hong Kong.

However, what really turned Adam Cheng's career around was in 1976, when Wireless saw the great popularity of martial arts novels, and started shooting Jin Yong's famous work "The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man". Directed by Mr. Wang Tianlin, who will play Chen Jialuo in Hero? I have to mention Ms. Shen Dianxia, who has been entangled with Adam Cheng for half her life. Many people say that Adam Cheng won this role with her resources. It was also said that Adam Cheng was abroad at this time, and Mrs Selina CHOW and General Wang Tianlin called him back to Hong Kong immediately. We don't know what the truth is, but we know another thing. No one can be popular without skill.

Fortunately, Adam Cheng has a real skill. In Sword Book, he plays Chen Jialuo, Emperor Qianlong and Fu Kang 'an. Handsome and expensive in ancient costume, he unconsciously brought the audience into the rivers and lakes with strong empathy. Even Mr. Jin Yong personally praised "Mr. Adam Cheng and Miss Wang Mingquan, playing Chen Jialuo, Emperor Qianlong and Huo Qingtong, acting exactly like the characters in the book." What a high evaluation this is.

Adam Cheng finally became popular, and the position of the first niche in ancient costume on Hong Kong Island belongs to him.

1978, the shooting of Jin Yong's masterpiece "Eternal Dragon Slayer" began again. This time, Adam Cheng undoubtedly played the first hero and Zhang Wuji. He was very handsome. But with more than ten years of acting skills, he showed Zhang Wuji's chivalrous spirit and tangled mentality incisively and vividly. Mr. Jin Yong once again spoke highly of him and even splashed ink. "The chivalrous man on the screen is heroic and unscrupulous, and enters people's dreams."

1979, in order to suppress the old rival ATV, Wireless decided to shoot Gu Long's masterpiece Chu Liuxiang. It is said that the preparatory group at that time, considering the romantic and handsome candidates, everyone had no second choice but Adam Cheng. As a result, Adam Cheng, who was filming "Famous Sword", was recalled urgently and began to run on both sides without stopping. And it only took 10 days from filming to the first episode of Chu Liuxiang. High-intensity work made Adam Cheng's body unable to hold on. At that time, his girlfriend Shen Dianxia couldn't stand it any longer. She found the wireless high-level and asked Qiu Xian to have a holiday, but the reply was "He died better than me, otherwise he could not do the work."

As the most classic masterpiece of Adam Cheng, Chu Liuxiang, once released, not only helped TVB win the ATV championship, but also created a miracle of viewing on Hong Kong Island. When it was broadcast in Taiwan Province province, it was said that the audience rating was as high as 70%. Taxi drivers couldn't get off the bus to see Chu Liuxiang, and actors in Taiwan Province province demanded to stop "Chu Liuxiang" for fear of rice bowl protests, which led them to the Legislative Yuan. The original author, Mr. Gu Long, is even more jealous. "Taiwanese people only know Adam Cheng and forget Gu Long, as if Chu Liuxiang itself is Adam Cheng."

But anyone who has read Chu Liuxiang's original works knows that Chu Liuxiang in Mr. Gu Long's mind is the image of Bond, not the charming Confucian chivalry played by Adam Cheng, and Adam Cheng himself admits this. Including touching the nose and playing with a fan, these iconic movements are all original creations of Adam Cheng, but fortunately, he conquered the audience and even Gu Long. The following Chu Liuxiang Grand Finale, Midnight Orchid and A New Biography of Chu Liuxiang, the characters of this ancient master as a screenwriter are all tailored for Adam Cheng.

Xu Wenqiang, the first hero of another classic drama of wireless, was originally set in Adam Cheng, but the high-intensity shooting made Adam Cheng suffer from liver disease and had to resign. However, he recommended the fledgling Chow Yun Fat to the cast, so that Fage later knelt down at the award ceremony to thank Adam Cheng for his support.

What really let mainlanders know about Adam Cheng is 1990' s movie "Joking as a Dragon". At that time, the TV station considered the candidate of the first hero, Gan Long, and agreed to find Adam Cheng. In the words of Lao Liang's story, "Adam Cheng has a temperament that others don't have." Sure enough, as soon as the play was released, it instantly swept the country, and the charming "Grandpa Four" with a folding fan in his hand captured the hearts of countless mainland audiences. Together with elegant and classical Angie Chiu, it has become the most classic screen CP in everyone's mind for many years. Even in 1992, Adam Cheng was invited to sing his classic song "Take off the Stars in the Sky" in Zheng Da Variety Show, that is, wearing the costume of Master Gan Long.

Although Adam Cheng's heroic image is unparalleled, as an actor, a single role is a shackle, so the next role is very important to Adam Cheng.

1992 TVB filmed "Big Times" with the theme of Hong Kong's financial market. Adam Cheng plays Ding Xie, an extremely nervous and paranoid hooligan. He made the unreasonable strength of "everyone is dead, but I am not dead", and even became a nightmare for generations of Hong Kong people. It is reported that since "Big Times", whenever there is a new play in Adam Cheng, the stock will magically fall. By 20 12, this magical thing has happened 32 times, and Hong Kong people call it the "Ding Crab Effect".

It may be a joke to say that Adam Cheng is a poison in the stock market, and Hong Kong people have long loved and hated him. If we really love and hate him, it's just a few beautiful women.

There are many temptations around handsome guys. At that time, Hong Kong was full of beautiful women. Moreover, Adam Cheng also said that his personality is very similar to Zhang Wuji's, he is hesitant, and his handling is not decisive enough. What shouldn't be hurt is hurt.

Adam Cheng's first marriage took place in his training class. His wife named Lu Huiru gave birth to his first daughter, Zheng Anyi. But soon they divorced and the wife went abroad with her daughter. It is said that Adam Cheng is responsible for paying her daughter's tuition, but she seldom contacts him. He was embarrassed, too. "Walking in the street, I don't know each other."

The second relationship is with Sensen, the founding hero of Happy Tonight. They faked it in the funny drama Chang Ge and A Ying, but Sensen broke up with Adam Cheng under the pressure of parents' opposition.

This breakup has brought Adam Cheng a woman she can't live without, Fat Shen Dianxia. Feifei originally took a farewell letter to Adam Cheng for Sensen, but she thought it was a love letter. Seeing Adam Cheng crying after reading the letter, Feifei felt guilty, so she comforted her several times. After getting along many times, it unconsciously developed into a love relationship. This relationship was also questioned at the time. Many people say that Adam Cheng's motives are impure, and he took advantage of his obese position. Indeed, Feifei was already a popular star on Hong Kong Island at that time, while Adam Cheng was tepid, and their looks were very different, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

However, they fell in love on 1974, 1976, and the news of their love was published in Ming Pao. By 1988, they divorced and stayed together for 14 years. If there is no sincerity, how can we spend this long decade? Those who say that he took the opportunity to take the upper position just think that being fat is not valued by handsome guys is a bit shallow.

I was sincere at first, but then the affair must be true.

On the day when we were together, Feifei gave up her career and concentrated on managing the daily affairs for Qiu Xian. He went to Taiwan Province Province for development, and she also accompanied him. However, when filming the new Biography of Chu Liuxiang, Li Xiangqin invited Feifei to leave for three days to cut the ribbon for his hotel. When he came back, the rumor spread to chubby ears. Qiu Xian's password box has also been changed. Feifei 000 began to try, her hands turned white, the box was opened and things were seen. It turns out that he has a new girlfriend.

Taiwan Province actress Jinghua Guan plays KINOMOTO SAKURA, a female killer, in The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang. It was because of this play that she fell in love with Adam Cheng. However, in the face of Feifei's doubts, Adam Cheng denied it and even showed his sincerity by getting married. So they flew to Canada in a hurry and didn't even have time to make the wedding dress. They got married wearing only a blue cheongsam. "I'll give you three years. If there are no children, don't blame me." This is what Qiu Xian said to Shen Dianxia. Coincidentally, their daughter Zheng Xinyi was born in May 1987. However, marriage and children cannot bind a man with ulterior motives. He and Jinghua Guan are still separated.

Unable to accept a man who is physically and mentally separated, Feifei filed for divorce. They officially separated on 1988, and Adam Cheng left home cleanly. The following year, Adam Cheng married Jinghua Guan, and they had two daughters, Zheng Yongen and Zheng Yongxi. Since then, Qiu Xian has never had an affair. Although the family is low-key, they are loving and harmonious every time they appear in the camera. It's just that she feels sorry for that fat pistachio. She should have hated it for many years, and it took many years to forget and put it down. Even in 2002, her new program "Behind the Applause", he appeared as the first guest. At the end of the interview, she asked a deep-seated sentence, "Did you finally like me?" Although I got a positive answer, it hurts to think about it.

Abandoning his wife and daughter is a stain that can't be wrong, but whether he is ungrateful or not can only be evaluated by the parties concerned. After all, we are bystanders. What the public can directly contact is his acting skills and roles.

1993' s "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud" shows Qiu Xian's charm as a mature man. 1995, at the age of 45, he once again performed the legend of Xiang Shuai, still handsome. ...

In 2005, "Adam Cheng Family Story Concert" was held in Hong Kong Red Pavilion; In 2006, he won the "Golden Needle Award", the honorary award of Hong Kong music;

In 2007, Hong Kong media selected "Top 100 Hong Kong Classic TV Roles", and Adam Cheng monopolized seven classic roles; 20 16 16 10 was awarded an honorary academician by the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts on October 26th in recognition of his achievements in performing arts.

Wu Dairong, who has appeared in Hua Wuque, Fu Hongxue and other chivalrous men, made it clear that many of his actions in the play are imitating Adam Cheng.

In recent years, Michael Miu, who captured a large audience as a mature man, even admitted that he entered the profession because he liked Adam Cheng too much after watching The Sword. However, when Michael Miu was asked to play Chu Liuxiang, his heart trembled, because Chu Liuxiang of Adam Cheng couldn't surpass it, which was a classic.

Wu Zhenyu, the best actor, said that Adam Cheng exists in this world, so I think it's best not to play tricks on others. I really haven't seen anyone more like a hero than him, and even mainland actors are not as tangible as him.

There shouldn't be much objection to saying that he is the first person in ancient costume. His smart appearance, neat skill and look between eyebrows and eyes are honed day after day, which can be called a textbook. Nowadays, ancient puppet shows are popular. Young people might as well be modest and secretly learn from this grandparents, which will certainly benefit a lot.

The recent appearance of Adam Cheng is still in high spirits. He is over 70 years old. He can sing and dance well on the stage and stand among a group of young people. He is still the most eye-catching existence.

In the spotlight for more than 50 years and half a century's acting career, he has always kept his state at the best, and has always adhered to the duty of an actor. He dedicated one wonderful role after another and gave us one classic memory after another.

I have to say that as an actor, he is worthy of the audience.
