[Reposted article]The much-anticipated Hong Kong blockbuster “When the Wind Rises Again” is directed by Weng Ziguang. The two great movie stars Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung collaborated for the first time, and their acting skills are soaring! Among the gold-winning cast members lined up, Xu Guanwen performed extremely well. He had a 5-minute English monologue, which was powerful and touching. Director Weng Ziguang was moved to tears by his speech.
“When the Wind Rises Again” brings together a group of actors who are most capable of acting in Hong Kong movies. In addition to the two major movie stars Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung, Tam Yiu Man, Tai Bao, Jin Yanling, Tse Kwan Ho, Eddie, Bai Zhi and Yuan Fuhua are all Golden Horse Award winners. Hui Guanwen, Chun Xia , Zhang Jicong and others have also been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards, with a strong lineup and glittering gold.
Xu Guanwen, 80 years old this year, is the most senior veteran among them. He was the winner of the Best Actor in the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards, and his acting skills are obvious to all. This time, playing the special commissioner of the ICAC in “When the Wind Rises Again”, there are many wonderful scenes with Tony Leung’s wily schemes, and there is also an unforgettable 5-minute monologue in English. In this play, he faces a whole table of actors playing the role of high-ranking police officers in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. All eyes are on him at close range. A turbulent atmosphere.
Director Weng Ziguang was very excited and satisfied to invite Xu Guanwen to participate in the performance. He revealed that because Xu Guanwen has a deep affection for Hong Kong movies,“His existence is of special significance to Hong Kong people. He has a 5-minute English dialogue solo in the film. I believe everyone will be as fascinated by watching it as I am. I hope this will write film history. At least it left a memory of me as a movie fan.”According to the staff, Weng Ziguang was moved to tears while filming, completely infected by Xu Guanwen’s acting skills.
Hui Guanwen said frankly that he experienced Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s, and participating in the filming of “When the Wind Rises Again” was like going back in time. However, in the early days, he actually declined director Weng Ziguang’s invitation; after reading the script, he was especially moved by the English dialogue. Later, he even modified some of the English lines on his own, making Weng Ziguang feel that those words seemed to be his own heartfelt words to the Hong Kong audience. Among his long lines are:“I don’t want our city to have to bribe firefighters to save someone from a house fire. I don’t want our city to have to bribe paramedics to send a sick mother to the hospital.”He interpreted and presented with his calm acting skills, which was convincing and moved the audience.
Hui Guanwen’s film career spans more than 50 years, and his acting skills are still strong. The last time he starred in a movie was the 2016 Taiwanese film “Bon Voyage” by Chung Meng-hong, for which he was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, and his skill has not diminished; It has been nominated for the Asian Film Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards one after another. It can be seen that the sword is not old, the acting skills are profound, and the performance is still eye-catching!
