Ti Lung, patrick Tse, Cen Nie.
Patrick Tse, Tommy Ti Lung, & Jenny Tseng
BAGI penggemar film Mandarin sejak era 1970-an pasti mengenal nama-nama Patrick Tse, Tommy Ti Lung, dan Jenny Tseng. Yang pertama kondang lewat genre drama. Yang kedua, malang-melintang sebagai pendekar persilatan. Yang ketiga, biduanita sensual yang diperisteri bintang idola Alexander Fu Sheng. Setelah pensiun, apa saja yang mereka kerjakan? Ternyata anak-anak mereka sekarang mulai mengukir nama sebagai artis juga! PATRICK TSE Mantan pasangan artis senior Mandarin, Patrick Tse dan Deborah Ti, selain Nicholas Tse, masih punya anak yang lain lagi. Adik perempuan Nick tersebut nama panggilannya, si Thing-thing. Memang Thing-thing belum terjun menjadi penyanyi atau pemain film, namun sebagai gadis yang mulai berangkat remaja, ia pun sering masuk-keluar diskotik. Nah, ketika Thing-thing dan teman-temannya sedang bernyanyi-nyanyi di sebuah karaoke mendadak mereka diganggu oleh sekawanan preman muda. Demi mendapat telepon darri Thing-thing, spontan sang ayah, Patrick Tse, dan sang ibu, Deborah Ti, bergegas meluncurkan mobil mereka masing-masing ke lokasi untuk memberi bantuan. Karena itu, siapa bilang pasangan suami-isteri yang sudah bercerai akan mengurangi perhatian dan kasih-sayang terhadap putera-puteri mereka? Tindakan nyata yang dilakukan oleh Patrick dan Deborah telah mematahkan anggapan seperti itu. TOMMY TI LUNG Aktor senior yang pernah menjadi bintang spesialis film silat pada masa kejayaan Shaw Brothers, era 1970-an dulu, Tommy Ti Lung, sekarang memang sudah melewati usia parobaya. Pada masa mudanya dulu ia sering berduet dengan David Chiang dalam belasan film garapan Chang Cheh. Setelah uzur, ia sempat naik daun lagi setelah bermain bareng Chow Yun-fat dalam karya John Woo, Gangland Boss (judul aslinya, A Better Tomorrow). Seperti peribahasa dalam dunia persilatan, 'Gelombang Sungai Tiangkang yang di belakang mendorong yang di depan', maka dalam dunia perfilman juga terjadi alih generasi. _Pasangan bintang Ti Lung dan Thao Ming-ming, hanya mempunyai putera tunggal, Shaun (atau nama Mandarinnya, Than Cun-yen). Mengikuti jejak kedua orangtuanya, sekarang Shaun juga terjun main film. Ketika film debutnya dipreviewkan, Ti Lung dan isterinya, tentu saja menyempatkan diri untuk menontonnya, Bahkaan mereka tidak lupa mengajak serta teman karib mereka, pasangan aktor senior Kent Chen Ciang dan Ciao Ciao. Walau di depan wartawan yang mengerumuni mereka, Ti Lung berulang-kali mengatakan, "Terus terang akting Shaun masih agak mentah," namun terasa pula kalau rasa bangga Ti Lung akan prestasi puteranya tidak dapat ditutup-tutupi dengan sikapnya yang rendah hati itu. JENNY TSENG Bagi penggemar film Hong Kong sejak era 1970-an pasti mengenal bintang popular Alexander Fu Sheng yang mati muda karena kecelakaan mobil. Pasti juga tahu kalau bintang idola itu beristerikan biduanita sensual Jenny Tseng alias Chen Nie. Semenjak kematian Fu Sheng, memang Jenny tidak pernah diberitakan menikah lagi, namun diketahui ia mempunyai dua orang anak. Yang pertama, puteri-kandungnya, Melody, sedangkan yang kedua, putera-angkatnya yang diberi nama Shaun. Nampak kebahagiaan terpancar dari mantan artis yang tetap sensual dalam usia parobaya ini ketika ia dipeluk Melody dan Shaun. Gadis remaja bernama Melody yang berlibur ke Hong Kong saat liburan musim panas dari sekolahnya di Amerika, menyebutkan, "Kesempatan datang ke Hong Kong saya pergunakan sekalian untuk menyiapkan album perdana saya yang akan dirilis dalam tempo dekat ini." Seperti ujar pepatah, 'Buah jatuh tak jauh dari pohonnya', rupanya bakat orangtua, memang menurun pada anaknya |

david chiang Da Wei
David Chiang was born Yim Wai in 1947, the second son of two famed actors Yim Dut and Hong Wei. Later on his widowed mother having remarried with a movie producer she gave birth to another son. All three siblings were destined to a have a great movie career: the first Paul Chun as a renown character actor and the youngest Derek Yee as an actor/director. Young Wai received a college education in Hong Kong but had already started appearing in movies as a child actor. He also appears to have received some Peking Opera training - not enough to make him a top performer the likes of Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung but more than enough to gave him an unusual agility and solid physical skills. Following graduation, he started working as a stuntman in the movies. Chiang had graduated to fight-instructor by the time he was spotted by Shaw Brothers leading martial art director Chang Cheh, who brought him into the studio in the winter of 1966 where he then groomed him for a couple of years. By the time he emerge he was known as David Chiang Dai-Wai,. The meaning of his stage name and it’s origin appear to be rather obscure: Chiang he may have taken it for no other reason than it was a very recognizable name (because of Taiwan president Chiang Kai Shek) with a star quality feel to it. His original first name being Wai , “Dai” was added to make it mean “True Greatness”, “Dai-wai” being also the direct transliteration of the English name “David”, it may also have been deemed a suitable stage-name for him because his small frame and scholarly looks were evocative of the Biblical David of the David and Goliath famed. Having an English name may also have served to give him a suitable urbane and sophisticated air that played well with his deceptively scholarly, effete look. Vengeance, the first of Chang Cheh’s "Blood Brothers" movies pairing the deadly duo of Chiang and Ti Lung. It was also a watershed movie of Hong Kong martial arts cinema that defined and cemented Chang Cheh’s cinematic approach for years. With the sudden arrival of Bruce Lee in late 1971, the Blood Brothers movies lost some of their steam - their formula began looking tired and Chang Cheh appeared to be losing interest Still, Chiang remained very active by performing in a handful of Chang martial extravaganzas. He was continually paired with Ti Lung but the drama and the chemistry between them wasn't quite the same as in the old Blood Brothers movies. Chiang starred in his own self-production that he made at a frantic pacing. Chiang found his best work of the period with martial director Lau Kar Leung who had choreographed him in all the Chang Cheh movies of the early seventies. In the second half of the seventies as martial art films evolved towards more and more comedic, Chiang moved with the time, starring in a handful of such films. He also has done some TV work.

Chen Kuan ***
Born in Canton, Chen Kuan T-ai was one of Shaw's first real, solid trained, martial arts stars that could in essence be considered a master of martials arts by his peers. He landed in bit roles as a martial artist in his first films. Upon signing with Shaws, in 1970, he was featured in Jimmy Wang Yu's "Chinese Boxer".
Chen branched out as an actor with his tender roles in "The Tea House" and it's sequel "Big Brother Cheng", both directed by Kuei Chih Hung. These films gave Chen the 'legimate actor' status. After starring in the boxoffice successes "Challenge of the Masters" and "Executioners from Shaolin", both helmed by the legendary martial arts director Liu Chia Liang (Lau Kar Leung), Chen left Shaw Brothers. One of the only films of consequence he did away from Shaw Brothers was "Iron Monkey", a film he starred in and directed. Chen returned to the Shaw's screen with "Crippled Avengers", "Killer Constable", 'arguably his most powerful drama-martial arts role' ever directed by Kuei Chih Hung, and "The Master". Starring over 80 films and four marriages, he's still going strong and only makes occasional public appearences nowadays.

Jimmy Wang Yu
In the mid-60s the Shaw Brothers was attempting to broaden their offerings by producing more action films. Their reputation up until then was based primarily on dramas and romances, but the popularity of the Japanese Chambara films seemed to indicate that martial arts/wuxia films had the potential for a strong resurgence. So they began adding actors to their stable of performers in hopes of their becoming possible action stars. One of their hires was a former water polo champion from Shanghai by the name of Jimmy Wang Yu (which translates to "King Youth"). The success of King Hu's Come Drink with Me and then the film Jade Bow reinforced this strategic change. Wang Yu appeared in a few action films such as Temple of Red Lotus (1965), Twin Swords (1965) and Tiger Boy (1966) before he was to appear in a film called The One Armed Swordsman in 1967 that was to instantly make him a star. Wang Yu had already worked with the director Chang Cheh but this film was to make both of their reputations. Wang Yu by the way was right-handed, but tradition necessitated that he play the character left-handed. Chang Cheh revolutionized the martial arts or wuxia film by dramatically revving up the violence and introducing what could be called anti-heroes. Chang Cheh was also a strong believer in yanggang or masculine male and feeling that it had disappeared to some degree from Chinese film created tough, stoic male characters in his films. Wang Yu was his first prototype in doing this. Their collaborations also included the classics Assassin (1967), Golden Swallow (1968) and Return of the One Armed Swordsman (1969). In all these films Wang Yu plays a lonely, tormented, complex swordsman/killer full of anger but still generally an honorable guy deep down - generic roles that he was to copy many times in his film career. These portrayals made him a gigantic star. So much so that he was no longer satisfied with the salary that he was receiving from the Shaw Brothers. As this was happening another phenomenon was in the air in Hong Kong. Everyone was talking about Bruce Lee coming to Hong Kong after his televison success in The Green Hornet in the states. Shaw had refused to outbid Golden Harvest for Lee's services, but they intended to get a kung fu film out to the public first.Trying to keep him happy, The Shaw Brothers allowed Wang Yu to make this film, The Chinese Boxer. It is The Chinese Boxer (1970) that is generally given the credit as being the first film wholly dedicated to kung fu. Up until this time most martial arts films were based around the sword with some kung fu thrown in from time to time. This film was extremely violent and comprised only of hand to hand combat. This was a year before Bruce Lee made his appearance in HK and in a sense it began the kung fu period of the 70s. To some degree, it also served as a template for many of the kung fu films to follow - a loner seeking revenge and having to battle seemingly insurmountable odds to get it. It is also strongly anti-Japanese - another thread that was to run through many of Wang Yu's films. Even with the huge success of this film, Wang Yu broke his contract (though Shaw sued) and began making films on his own in Taiwan and then in partnership with Golden Harvest. Wang Yu produced and starred in a load of films over the next couple of years One Armed Boxer and Beach of the War Gods are considered classics but he began to be overshadowed by newer stars Bruce Lee, Ti Lung, David Chiang and others with better martial arts skills. As important as his films were, Wang Yu was never really an accomplished martial artist - though he used the camera/editing effectively to hide this. His swordsmanship is quite enjoyable, but his kung fu looks clunky and slow compared to many others that came after him. So his popularity started to dwindle though he still appeared in two international films Man from Hong Kong (1975) and A Queens Ransom (1976) and by the mid to late 70s he was no longer an essential part of the cinematic landscape. His later 70's films have been termed schlocky, but lots of fun by some - and they still have that Wang Yu feel to them that are different from any other films. There is no doubt that Wang Yu was a vital and extremely important part of the evolution of HK action films and he still has a loyal base of fans. Off the screen Wang Yu was also legendary - for getting into numerous public brawls, having many affairs and having ties to the triads. This last item was helpful when Jackie Chan was trying to break his contract with Lo Wei in the late 70's (Jackie later appeared in a Wang Yu film (Island of Fire) as a repayment. Back in the late sixties Wang Yu wooed famous movie actress Jeanette Lin Tsui who was married, with children, and was 12 years his senior. There was no divorce as the husband Qin Jan, a famed director of melodrama, happily obliged by hanging himself. The actress was already pregnant when Wang brought her to the altar. It's hard to imagine a star career surviving such a scandal, but Wang Yu did, although there is a one and a half-year gap in between The Return of the One Armed Swordsman and Chinese Boxer. The couple split-up in the mid-seventies after Lin accused him of beating her up, but Wang later explain that he hit her because she was involved with a lesbian. Their daughter is singer Linda Wang. Wang remarried with an air hostess named Kai-cheng and she's the one who raised the children born in the previous marriage. The couple separated around 1997 with Kai Cheng asking for divorce and Wang Yu refusing. She eventually started an affair with an up and coming young entrepreneur. Last December Wang Yu invaded the lovers love-nest accompanied by reporters and police. Then having utterly humiliated his wife in the most public of fashion, he was done with her.
