"Bach Long Ma" Vuong Ba Chieu: The sand is ten times higher than Ton Ngo Khong and the scandal with Truong Ve Kien

When it comes to Tang Tang's teachers and students, the audience will immediately think of Ton Ngo Khong, Tru Bat Gioi, and Sa Tang. However, Tang Tang still had another disciple who also made an important contribution in the process of going to Tay Thien to ask for sutras, which was Bach Long Ma.

In the 1986 film Journey to the West, the actor who played Bach Long Ma was actor Vuong Ba Chieu. Despite the modest broadcast time, Vuong Ba Chieu still left a strong impression in the hearts of the audience because of his handsome appearance.

Wang Bo Zhao was born in 1957 in Nanjing, graduated from the Department of Acting, Shanghai Theater Academy. Among the cast of Journey to the West 1986, he was highly regarded for his education. It is known that "Bai Long Ma" graduated from the Performing Department of the Shanghai Academy of Drama (1982).

This is the top famous art school in China. Along with the Central Academy of Drama, the Shanghai Academy of Drama are the two leading drama and art schools in the country of billions of people. Every year, the number of candidates applying to the school is very much, but the pass rate is not high because the school has an extremely strict and difficult admission process.

It is known that many generations of famous Chinese actors were students of this school. Typically such as Luc Nghi, Ho Ca, Han Tuyet, Nie Vien, ...

Compared to Tang Tang Tu Thieu Hoa with 2 university degrees, Duong Tang Uong Viet was promoted to professor at the Department of Directing of the Chinese Theater Academy, Bach Long Ma Vuong Ba Chieu is considered to be equally educated. .

In 1984, the actor received an invitation to play Journey to the West by director Duong Khiet. At first, he thought he would be given the role of Tang Tang, but he did not expect that the role he took on was Bach Long Ma. When he learned that he only appeared in 3 episodes, Vuong Ba Chieu refused immediately because he was already a famous star, sought after by many directors.

However, because the director wholeheartedly persuaded him to offer the ideal remuneration, the actor finally changed his mind. Not up to the expectations of Ms. Duong Khiet, the character Bach Long Ma portrayed by Vuong Ba Chieu was praised by the audience as "the first handsome man to the West". This is also the role of a lifetime in Vuong Ba Chieu's acting career.

Years later, in an interview, the "Journey to the West" star revealed that at that time the salary he received for his role was 5,000 yuan/episode (equivalent to 17.5 million VND). Thus, after 3 episodes, Vuong Ba Chieu earned 15,000 yuan (VND 53.5 million). This remuneration is in the form of a pay-as-you-go film for the 6 years of "Sun Wukong" Luc Tieu Linh Dong.

Noisy scandal with Truong Ve suing and Nicholas Tse

The resounding success of Journey to the West brought the names of many actors to fly high, including Vuong Ba Chieu. After the role of Bach Long Ma, his career was spread more and more roses.

The actor continuously appeared in many famous Chinese films at that time such as: The Fate of a Daughter, Thanh Thuy Loan Dam Thuy Loan, Hiep Nu Thi Tam Muoi, ...

However, in the late 90s, when his future was wide open, Vuong Ba Chieu suddenly made a life-changing decision, which was to go to the US to look for opportunities. However, in the country of chess, the language and cultural barriers made the actor face many difficulties. Unable to access the Hollywood market, Vuong Ba Chieu had to earn m.oney to cover his life by working part-time at restaurants.

After living in exile for a while, "Bach Long Ma" decided to return to the country. But now, his reputation is no longer what it used to be. Instead of being sought after, the "Journey to the West" star had to accept weak supporting roles with little acting land.

In 2004, Vuong Ba Chieu was suddenly mentioned a lot in the press, but not because of a special work but because of the shocking scandal with Truong Ve Kien and Nicholas Tse. Specifically, the actor, born in 1957, accused two Hong Kong actors of intentionally assaulting and injuring him on the set of Tieu Ngu Nhi and Hoa Wu Que.

Vuong Ba Chieu said that Truong Ve Kien and Nicholas Tse had "itchy eyes" with him before, so they "borrowed" martial arts footage to handle him. According to some information, the cause of the scuffle was because Vuong Ba Chieu had a conflict with a disguised employee before. Truong Ve Kien and Nicholas Tse wanted to find justice for their compatriots, so they took revenge. However, Wang Bo Chieu later denied this.

This "fake movie" case caused Vuong Ba Chieu to be hospitalized for treatment for injuries to his face, left thigh, left kidney and many other places on his b.ody. Before Vuong Ba Chieu's accusations, Truong Ve Kien and Nicholas Tse stubbornly denied. These two actors also went to the hospital to visit the star Journey to the West. However, Vuong Ba Chieu still resolutely sued them to court and demanded compensation of 40,000 yuan (about 140 million VND). However, his petition was rejected by the court because there was not enough concrete evidence to convict him.

Married up to 3 times, in old age must open a shop selling geese meat

Not only has a career with many ups and downs, Vuong Ba Chieu's love life is also quite messy. He was married three times. At the age of 26, Vuong Ba Chieu married his first wife, actor An Tan. A year after the wedding, An Tan became pregnant. However, because she was at the peak of her career, she obeyed her parents to have an abortion.

Since then, An Tan's health has gradually deteriorated. Later, she became pregnant 6 more times but all miscarried. As the only son in the family, he needed someone to continue his family line, so Vuong Ba Chieu had to divorce his wife under pressure from his parents. After the failure of his first marriage, Vuong Ba Chieu moved to America to settle down and married a businesswoman. The two have a son together. However, this marriage soon broke up because his second wife did not want Vuong Ba Chieu to continue his acting career, but only wanted him to stay at home to look after the children.

After returning to the country, Vuong Ba Chieu knew Bach Kinh Mai, but because she was now married, the two only considered each other as friends. When the actor was hospitalized because of the incident with Nicholas Tse and Truong Ve Kien, Mrs. Bach Kinh Mai was the only one to take care of him.

In 2007, after Mrs. Bach Kinh Mai divorced her husband, the two came together. They have lived together ever since. Currently, Vuong Bach Chieu has turned 64. He still acts in movies and participates in a number of TV shows, but the number is not much.
