Once became famous
Lost myself
Wu Mengda was born in Xiamen on January 2, 1952. He moved to Hong Kong with his family when he was 7 years old. At that time, he lived in a government low-rent housing. A few people in his family were crowded in a small house. His strict father believed in “filial piety under the stick”. As the eldest son, Wu Mengda was particularly demanding, so Wu Mengda said that he “kneeled since childhood to grow up.” Wu Mengda also hid his father when he entered the entertainment industry, until one day his father saw Wu Mengda on TV while eating. He was furious at the time, and he didn’t eat the meal. He blamed Wu Mengda for not telling him when he went to the TVB artist training class. After negotiation, it was finally agreed that Wu Mengda would go to the company to help him during the day, and at night he could film and become an actor.
In an interview, Wu Mengda once said, “Being an actor must be honest and sincere.” This sentence sounds like nothing new. Like every actor’s “facade talk”, it was Wu Mengda who experienced four years of pain. Words from the bottom of the heart.
When Wu Mengda was a child, his only entertainment was to go to the cinema. At that time, the ticket inspector was not serious about checking the ticket. He paid two cents for a ticket, and then took two younger brothers to hide in the toilet first, and then secretly ran out to watch after the lights were turned off. the film. In 1970, Wu Mengda bought a TV set at home. He watched “Happy Tonight” every day and found it very interesting. In Wu Mengda’s view, the job of an actor is easy, easy and fun. So in 1973, he took the TVB artist training class with his father on his back. At that time, his classmates included Zhou Runfa, Lin Lingdong, Wu Runquan, etc. The four of them are called “Fast East Spring”. Wu Mengda’s grades in the class are very good, and he also became the deputy squad leader.
In the end, 22 students in the class really graduated, and 7 people signed the full contract. Wu Mengda is one of the 7 people. “There is a fixed salary every month. More than half an hour is considered two columns. 50 yuan per column, ten It’s your basic salary. I remember it was 500 yuan when I first came out to work.”
Wu Mengda later admitted that he entered the film industry because of greed for vanity. “At that time, I didn’t want to love the job of an actor. I just wanted to become famous. Later, he did have fame and fortune, but he lost himself.”
In 1979, Wu Mengda collaborated with Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi in The Legend of Chu Liuxiang. He played the role of Chu Liuxiang’s friend and drunk cat Hu Tiehua. This role made Wu Mengda popular in Taiwan, and the little-known Wu Mengda also became a “Da Ge”, and many people sought him after him. As soon as the door of the hotel was opened, there was a girl waiting. As soon as he had a meal, the table was full of people lining up holding cups to respect him. The inflated Wu Mengda began to live a life of drunkenness, drinking, gambling, and dating different women. Wu Mengda began to find all kinds of excuses for not returning to work in Hong Kong. This year in Taiwan, Wu Mengda thought he was floating above the white clouds, but when he opened his eyes, he had fallen into the abyss.
