Character Evaluation
Adam Cheng Media Evaluation
The chic turns and elegant smiles are classic memories that Adam Cheng left to the audience. When the wild heroes and tragic knights are rampant on the screen, he uses a gentle and elegant costume image to satisfy the audience's complex of rivers and lakes. From President Chen to Qianlong, from Zeng Aniu to Chor Lau Heung, Adam Cheng’s world of the world, Wen Tao Wulue replaced the gun and live ammunition, and elegant and elegant replaced the bloody wind. In the eyes of the knight who dances with the sword, the unrestrainedness and tenderness of the world will always flow.
" Legendary Chien Lung " is based on the word "joking", and uses a romantic narrative to show a brand-new image of the emperor. With the subtle plot, thrilling and dangerous martial arts action, coupled with a romantic emperor with both civil and military skills, I don't know how many audiences have been dumped. A folding fan, a long sword, a chic demeanor, and a graceful figure, no matter how dangerous the situation is, his smile will always be calm and fascinating. Private visits in microservices, anti-violence and Anliang, but also the helplessness of being in the emperor’s house; the society and the ambitions can hardly conceal the lingering lingering affection of the children. In this way, the image of the emperor with the taste of the rivers and lakes is printed on Adam Cheng's body, and it is also deep. It is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
Another classic image of Adam Cheng is Chor Lau Heung, a romantic hero in Gu Long's works . This role has also made Adam Cheng popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. His interpretation of the thief Chor Lau Heung is handsome, civilized and versatile, and is well-received. Different from the romantic Qianlong, this time Adam Cheng is dressed in white to win the snow, less calm and heavy, but more witty and humorous. Of course, the romance is still the same, and the flowers around him are still beautiful; the beauty is still the same, and the sword is also good in his hands.
Adam Cheng seems to have such an ability to play all roles into classics, acting as an insurmountable role model. In the world of martial arts, time only wants to stay on Adam Cheng, so from the 70s to the 90s, until now, the handsome Pian Pian Xiangshuai in our sight has never been old. He is a strange man who walks out of the ancient picture scroll. After a period of bustling and noisy, he turns to be a man in the painting, instantly condensing the audience's eternal heartbeat.
In 1992, Adam Cheng portrayed a challenging character-Ding Crab in " The Greed of Man ". In this star-studded TV series, Adam Cheng used his excellent acting skills to play this extremely character and slightly crazy character into a three-pointer. The character's age span of nearly 30 years has been dealt with clearly by Adam Cheng. His care for family members, support for friends, brutality for betrayal, and madness for despair have all become indelible classic images in the hearts of the audience under his interpretation.
Another classic image of Adam Cheng is Xu Yongbang in " Cold Blood Warm Heart ". Different from previous roles, this time Adam Cheng played an out-and-out little character, a kind and honest policeman. There is no outstanding talent and no sharp personality. In the play, Adam Cheng uses his steadfast acting skills and a kind and honest look to warm people's hearts with this simple and natural role like a brother.
Adam Cheng is still active on the TV screen. At 60 years old, he is still a loving father, simple brother, humorous friend, and affectionate partner. In 40 years of TV life, Adam Cheng has become a symbol of Hong Kong TV and a face of viewers from all over the country recalling Hong Kong serials . With his TV screen, he will never be lonely, because there is a glorious past when he is still turning around. In the still charming smile, it seems that he has lived through the changes of the years.
Adam Cheng circle evaluation
James JSWong : I haven’t learned Qiu Guan’s Drunken Sword for a long time, but watching Qiu Guan’s sword dance performed on the radio station celebration-he is truly unprecedented in his style of dance; every movement of his is full of beauty and really convinced. Qiuguan, the'Master of Liyuan'. After watching Wujian for many years, there is only one that makes him think that he can match the master of Peking Opera, Ye Duanzhang, and that is Adam Cheng. Ye Duanzhang's sword dance moves like the embroidery of Ming and Qing Dynasties, elegant and dignified, and exquisitely beautiful. Adam Cheng's Drunken Sword is elegant, light, and brilliant. Compared with Ye Duanzhang, each has its own merits, which is amazing.
Wu Zhenyu : There is Adam Cheng in the world. I think it's better not to go to the class to get an axe. I really haven't seen anyone more like a hero than him, even the mainland actors do not have his body and spirit.
Justin : Qiuguan’s professionalism is extremely admirable. Thank you for getting Qiuguan’s guidance and guidance during the filming process. Qiuguan’s way of pointing people is very special. He will not tell you directly that this or there is not right. He will suddenly say a line of yours. At that time, you may not be able to react. But when I went to the show, I discovered that it turned out that it was the best way to act in his way. In addition, Qiu Guan's profound knowledge is also shocking. He can talk from the Dutch navy to the Spanish sailing fleet, and even point out which dynasty each chair comes from.
Tan Youye ( Director of the 2008 version of " The Legend of the Book and Sword "): Adam Cheng is very dedicated. As an actor, as soon as the camera is aligned, he should enter the state immediately. Adam Cheng's performance is indeed very good.
Louis Cha : Screen warrior, rustling heroic style, Jialuo Wuji, in a dream.
Shen Baofeng : A generation of Tianjiao descended to China, galloping in the art world. The charm is infinite and never grows old, and the reputation will not be diminished.
Gu Long : Taiwanese only know Adam Cheng and forget Gu Long, as if Chor Lau Heung itself is Adam Cheng.
Character Dispute
In 2008, when Lydia Sung passed away, Qiu Guan did not appear on the scene. The ex-husband, who has been divorced for 20 years, is sentimental and has no obligation if he does not. In fact, the autumn official memorial service also asked for leave to attend. During the two years when Feifei was seriously ill, I visited the hospital more times. To outsiders, crying Xinyi is filial; crying Qiuguan is hypocrisy. Xinyi smiles, is strong; Qiuguan smiles, is unfeeling. If Qiu Guan did not return to Hong Kong, he was evading; when he returned to Hong Kong, Qiu Guan was forced to be helpless. Qiuguan's silence is a guilty conscience; Qiuguan speaks as an excuse. This is the so-called "blame at every turn" that makes people laugh and cry.
On March 2, 2008, Lydia Sung's memorial service "Fat Sister, We Will Miss You Forever" was held in the Red Pavilion. When Fat Sister’s friend Kwong Wing Tang came to the stage to deliver a memorial speech, he excitedly criticized Fat Sister’s ex-husband Adam Cheng for not having a good time. Father’s responsibility, Qiu Guan came to the stage to confess, and it became the focus of the memorial meeting. But Fat Sister’s friends, such as Zeng Zhiwei , Luo Jiaying , Pamela Pak Wan-Kam, and her good aunt Nancy Sit , all supported Qiu Guan and believed that Qiu Guan had not neglected to take care of him. Xinyi.
