In fact, this fat old man is not simple. Now, he is the father of the great director Jing Wong. In the past, he was the "great director" Wang Tianlin.
0 1 Meet a noble debut
Wang Tianlin 1928 was born in Shanghai, then went to Hong Kong with his uncle, and entered the film industry with his uncle's help. Perhaps even Wang Tianlin didn't know that he would meet two outstanding people in Hongkong, which changed his life course.
Hong Liang was his first nobleman. At that time, Wang Tianlin was only a small recording role in the film industry. Hong Liang saw his talent as a director and said to him: You should take the road of directing and treat him as a "field record".
In the process of recording, I got to know Hong (my uncle), the second nobleman, and was highly valued by him, and was soon promoted to deputy director. Under the impetus of Hong, he accumulated a lot of necessary directing knowledge and skills, which laid a good foundation for his solo career in the future.
In 2002, he began to direct independently.
1950, Wang Tianlin started his career as an independent director. That year, his "Flying Sword of Emei" won a good reputation, and his directing career was out of control.
From 1950s to 1980s, Wang Tianlin directed hundreds of films and was regarded as a "prolific director". Because he can control all kinds of movies, he also won the title of "king", which shows how awesome he is as a director!
It's just that the real rise of Wang Tianlin began with joining TVB. That year, the "Dianmao" film company closed down, and Wang Tianlin turned to operate a wireless TV station. From then on, he began his career as a director accompanying Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts novels. Lu Xiaofeng, Xiao, Xiao Dao, Chu Liuxiang, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Condor Heroes are all written.
It is these "masterpieces" that not only established his position as a "gold medal producer", but also gained a large number of stars in Hong Kong. It can be said that the prosperity of Hong Kong's film industry in the 1980s and 1990s was inseparable from Wang Tianlin. In recognition of Wang Tianlin's achievements, he was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award" by the Hong Kong Golden Bauhinia Award in 2002, which was regarded as an affirmation of his life.
In 1990s, director Wang Tianlin chose to retire, even if he appeared on the screen, it was only a guest appearance.
Bring out the eight directors.
If making hundreds of films has contributed a lot to Wang Tianlin, bringing out eight famous directors is the pride of his life. While working for TVB, Wang Tianlin also taught many film skills to his disciples, namely Lin Lingdong, Lin Delu, Du Qifeng, Huang Jianxun, Sze Yu Lau, Jing Wong, Long-Cheung Tam and Pan Jiade.
Among them, Du Qifeng was deeply loved by Wang Tianlin. Du Qifeng once said, "He is not only a master, but also a turning point in my life. Without him, I can't be a director. "This shows how much help Wang Tian has given him.
Jing Wong is the son of Wang Tianlin. In the 1990s, Jing Wong made many films and became one of the most famous directors in Hong Kong. It is perhaps the proudest thing in Wang Tianlin's life to cultivate such an excellent son!
And such a "big brother" director also ushered in his own "death" on 20 10. That year, more than half of the people in Hong Kong's entertainment industry went to pay their respects, with four directors, Lin Lingdong, Chen Musheng, Du Qifeng and Yau Nai-hoi, and four actors, Ceng Jiang, DAMIAN LAU, Xie Xian and Felix Wong Yat Wa, as the dead bodies. This shows that the old man's position is extraordinary.
