"There are three in the world, there is no time, there is no space, and there is no industry." The Apostle Walker is in the way of the world, wandering between light and darkness, between betrayal and trust, and struggling between undercover and police. In 2014, the TV series version of "The Apostle Walker" was born, which achieved the highest ratings in Hong Kong throughout the year. It set a record for the click through rate of TVB drama networks in the mainland. The word-of-mouth and popularity fermented at the same time, creating a classic. Now, two years later, with people’s nostalgia for the drama version, the movie version of "The Apostle Walker" is roaring. The characters are still fresh and plump, the story that reverses tightly every second, the intense excitement and blood fighting, and the rich and touching brotherhood. Everything is very Hong Kong and TVB. Every face inside is engraved with a deep TVB brand, projecting the glorious history of a generation of TV kingdoms – no matter year after year, TVB has always been singing and dancing, and the wind and rain have not collapsed.
New undercover liaison Wu Zhenyu 30 years ago TVB sharpened his acting skills
Because it was a brand new story, it was inevitable that the actors would be shuffled, but the new characters still had the blood of TVB in their bones. Wu Zhenyu’s QSir became the new undercover liaison, looking for the undercover agent sent out before Kang Sir died.
Wu Zhenyu is now synonymous with acting, and his acting skills were originally honed from TVB. He joined TVB as early as the 1980s. At this time, TVB, Jin Yong dramas such as "The Legend of the Condor Hero" and the Republic of China dramas such as "Shanghai Tang", are all classics in the classics, and they are still in full bloom today, accompanying the growth of generation after generation. It is a star-making factory. Artists training classes and Hong Kong sisters have elected a large number of superstars to the entertainment industry. There are not only "Five Tiger Generals" such as Tony Leung and Andy Lau, but also actors such as Wu Zhenyu and Ren Dahua who do not follow the usual path. It is still a mainstay today. Wu Zhenyu also has a large number of representative works during the TVB period, and series such as "Graynet" and "fellow sufferers" are well-known.
From "Baigu" to "Huigu" The TVB Frontier of Gu Tianle and Zhang Jiahui
Shao Zhilang played by Gu Tianle and Lan Bowen played by Zhang Jiahui are the most colorful strokes in "The Apostle Walker" and the most ingenious suspense setting in the movie – at first everyone thought Shao Zhilang was an undercover agent, but later Lan Bowen surfaced, and the truth and falsehood were sometimes false, making it impossible to guess. The contest between the two of them was evenly matched, but they cherished each other.
In fact, Gu Tianle and Zhang Jiahui were also in TVB at the same time. They represent the glorious history of TVB in the 1990s. During this time, TVB’s masterpieces have been produced one after another. Martial arts dramas such as the re-remake of "The Condor Heroes" and "The Eight Dragons of Heaven", criminal investigation dramas such as "Criminal Investigation Files" and "Forensic Records", professional dramas such as "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" and "Ambition of Fire", and business war dramas such as "The Big Times" and "Look at the Wind and Cloud" are in full bloom.
Gu Tianle has won the "Emperor" twice in TVB, and has also left many representative works. During the "Bai Gu" period, he was always synonymous with the most beautiful man in ancient costumes, "when I saw Yang Guo, I made a mistake for the rest of my life"; after tanning, his acting path was wider, he could laugh and scold "Pet Love", he could be well-dressed "Men of Heaven and Earth", and he could also play the time-travel drama "Seeking Qin". Zhang Jiahui and Guan Yonghe’s husband and wife’s "Four Great Talents in Gold Clothing" are still unforgettable, and he and Gu Tianle have long had a stunning cooperation in the classic business war drama "Genesis". This time, they joined forces again in "Apostle Walker", and the tension only increased.
She Shiman in TVB, the familiar uncle next door Xu Shaoxiong
The only remaining actors in the TV series of "Apostle Walker" are Ding Xiaojia, played by Shiman Cha, and Huanxi, played by Xu Shaoxiong. Ding Xiaojia continued the character of the good and evil, sophisticated but cute undercover in the drama version, and was responsible for gags and lively atmosphere in the movie.
Her acting skills are beyond doubt. After all, the two TV shows have not gained a false reputation, and they are still impeccable on the big screen. She has left countless classic episodes on TVB, mostly concentrated in 2000 to the present. Fashion dramas such as "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October", "Juedai Shangjiao", etc., have annotated the independent "Hong Kong girls": persistence and strength in their bones, high emotional intelligence, like to find their place in changes, and good taste in fashion trends. Costume dramas such as "Golden Branch Desire" and "Palace Heart Plan" have started the trend of palace fighting culture in Asia, and have led the direction of TV drama development for a long time.
In "Golden Branch Desire", there are a lot of tit-for-tat rivalries between Erchun played by She Shiman and Fu Ya played by Liang Zheng. Coincidentally, the sisters met again in "Apostle Walker", and TVB fans expressed their eagerness for the two of them in the same frame long before the movie was released. Unfortunately, in the movie, Liang Chen Qin played the happy wife, who was killed by the villain Li Guangjie as soon as he appeared, and there was no rivalry with She Shiman. The big drama of "crossing through and tearing up" that the audience expected was not staged, but interestingly, in "Apostle Walker", in terms of seniority, Liang Cheng became She Shiman’s "godmother".
"Brother Huanxi" Xu Shaoxiong joined TVB as early as the first stage of the artist training class. He has worked for TVB for more than 30 years. He has a prominent family background but loves acting alone. He portrays some uncles and uncles in TVB’s plays who are impatient and reckless, outspoken, hard-spoken and soft-hearted, love face and often make jokes vividly. He won the best supporting actor in "My Lady" in 13 years, which is the best affirmation of his long acting career.
Shidi Drama Bone Hong Kong Sister is all in battle, and the golden supporting roles are full of surprises
Chen Hao, who made a cameo appearance in "The Apostle Walker", is TVB’s well-deserved king of vision and is still TVB’s "first brother". His record is also very brilliant, starring in "The House of Soft Hearts and Storms" and other dramas that have repeatedly won the ratings. "Heaven and Earth", co-starring with Sheh Shiman, is shocking, challenging the limits of Hong Kong drama’s dissection of human nature, and won the Best Actor Award at the 17th Asian Television Awards with superb acting skills.
Lu Haipeng, the best supporting actor at the Hong Kong Academy Awards, is also a veteran of TVB and has a wonderful performance in "The Apostle Walker". He graduated from the third artist training class and is good at playing the scheming boss. His face is full of vicissitudes and tricks. Audiences may not remember his name completely, but as long as they see his face, they know that this play has been watched.
In "Apostle Walker", there are a bunch of TVB’s familiar faces sitting in the office of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, and every time the camera scans, it makes people smile. Wang Junxin was the runner-up of Hong Kong Sister in 2007, and her first performance was in Luo Jialiang’s "Rich Gate". Her acting skills are highly malleable, pure and enchanting, and she has been featured in almost every TV series in TVB in recent years, and fashion and ancient costumes are easily accessible.
Zhu Chenli is the new generation of flowers that TVB has promoted in recent years, and she is also the champion of Hong Kong sister in 11 years. Her first starring role in the TV series is the 12-year-old Taiqing drama "Celebrity and Famous Family". Her partner Wu Zhuoxi, Ma Guoming and other students play against Liu Songren and Chen Yulian. William Zhai is also a familiar supporting actor on TVB, and has taken on police roles in criminal investigation dramas and fashion dramas, such as "Policewoman Love War", "Defection", "Flying Tiger 2" and other dramas. Although there are not many scenes, they are often completed appropriately.
The brilliance of "The Apostle Walker" is largely due to the mature production of TVB’s team and the tacit cooperation of the actors. Director Wen Weihong himself is TVB’s gold medal producer and also directed the drama version of "The Apostle Walker", so he has found so many familiar faces of TVB, whether it is Shidi Shi, Xiaosheng Huadan, Gold Medal Green Leaf, behind every classic work, there are their figures. It is also because of them that the quality of TVB’s dramas can always be maintained in a good state, and the audience always feels very friendly. This time, they have used their flowing acting skills to complete a high-quality movie, which is another continuation of TVB’s glorious history.
The film, directed by Wen Weihong and produced by Wang Jing and Le Yiling, stars Koo, Zhang Jiahui, Wu Zhenyu, Sheh Shiman, Li Guangjie, Xu Shaoxiong and Zhang Huiwen. The movie "Apostle Walker" is being screened in major theaters across the country.
