Gu Guan Zhong: Ancient costume handsome man goes downhill because of 18+ movies, U70 sells chicken feet for a living

Once bright faces, capturing the hearts of audiences on the small screen of Hong Kong, actor Gu Guanzhong and his wife Chen Jingyun have now chosen a completely different path, which is selling chicken feet.

Gu Guanzhong: The symbol of "ancient handsome man" and his illustrious career

Gu Guanzhong, born in 1955, is known as one of the classic "historical handsome men" of Hong Kong television in the 1980s and 1990s. With his handsome face, romantic temperament and diverse acting ability, he quickly won the hearts of a large audience and became an indispensable face in many famous martial arts works.

Gu Guanzhong's acting career started quite early. He lived and worked in Singapore before officially joining TVB, Hong Kong in 1987. It was at TVB that his talent truly took flight and reached its peak.

The role that made his name and brought Gu Guanzhong to stardom was Hua Wuque in the film "The Two Most Honorable Knights" produced in 1988.

With the image of a cold, scholarly man with a complex inner life, Co Quan Trung excellently portrayed the classic Hoa Vo Khuyet, leaving a deep impression on the memories of many generations of audiences who love swordplay films. His romantic beauty and sharp eyes in this role became the standard for the image of "ancient handsome men" at that time.

After the resounding success of "Tuyet Dai Song Kieu", Co Quan Trung continued to affirm his position through a series of other impressive roles. He played the role of Pho Hong Tuyet in the film "Bien Thanh Lang Tu" (Mystery of the Condor Heroes) in 1989. Although not all of the films he participated in were great successes, his dedication and ability to transform into each character helped him maintain his appeal and respect in the profession.

In particular, when mentioning Gu Guanzhong, we cannot ignore his roles in famous TVB works such as "The Condor Heroes" (1995 version) (as Luc Lap Dinh), or his diverse roles in "Gia Dinh Vo Su" (Ups and Downs).

Downhill because of filming a movie banned for people under 18

With over 40 years of acting career, Gu Guanzhong has a huge fortune with over 50 TV series and over 70 movies. However, the actor's career also encountered storms, causing him to fall into a deadlock for a long time.

It was the mid-90s, when a storm of ho.t movie.s suddenly emerged in Hong Kong, replacing the long-standing trend of martial arts movies. Due to the burden of making a living, Gu Guanzhong had to go with the flow, gritting his teeth and playing handsome male roles in works of this genre.

Because of a long time struggling with daring films to make a living, the reputation that Gu Guanzhong had built up for so long also disappeared. Getting used to a new film genre was also a challenge for the famous actor. He never thought that an experienced actor like himself would face such challenges: "The director shouted "cu.t" and reminded me: "This is not a historical film", it's true that I'm too addicted to historical films".

Overcoming the difficult period of his career, Gu Guanzhong still devoted himself to acting, never thinking of retiring. He confided that any star will eventually decline, as long as he can continue to act, he is content even if it is just a supporting role.

In recent years, Gu Guanzhong has returned to TVB screens and often takes on deep villain roles or powerful middle-aged characters, such as in "Line Walker 3". Through this, the veteran star continues to demonstrate his versatile acting ability and a mature, attractive demeanor in his twilight years.

Simple love story with Tran Tinh Duyen and decision to leave showbiz

Gu Guanzhong's partner is actress Chen Jingyun, born in 1963. She was once a familiar face on ATV (TVB's rival), impressing audiences through films such as "Justice for All" and especially "I Have a Date with Spring" - an ATV classic. The couple has a private but strong marriage, together experiencing many ups and downs in their careers and lives.

In the context of Hong Kong's increasingly narrow and competitive entertainment market, many veteran artists face difficulties in finding roles and maintaining a stable income. Gu Guanzhong and Chan Jingyun are no exception to this trend.

With the desire to find a more simple life and a new direction for the future, the couple made a bold decision: selling their luxury apartment in Hong Kong for 13.5 million HKD (about 44 billion VND) to move to a smaller house in Zhongshan, mainland China.

New journey: "Transformation" into an online chicken feet seller

This decision marked a major turning point in the lives of Gu Guanzhong and Chan Jingyun. No longer being celebrated stars, the couple chose to join the booming livestreaming business in China. The person who helped them on this journey was Kenny Wong – another former TVB actor, famous for successfully switching to online business and becoming a famous "livestreaming tycoon".

According to QQ, on her personal page, Tran Tinh Duyen often posts many videos, saying that she and her husband went to the mainland to cooperate with Thai Ky Quan to sell chicken feet. In the most recent video, she appeared with a healthy appearance, a radiant face, and enthusiastically promoted the dish with her colleagues. In front of the camera, she spoke comfortably, lively, and interacted happily with the audience, completely different from the image of a gentle actress on screen.

The first time they tried selling chicken feet on social media, Tran Tinh Duyen and his wife could not help but feel bewildered and even have difficulty. Livestreaming requires communication skills, the ability to interact directly with customers and a dynamism that they never had when they were actors.

However, thanks to the enthusiastic support from friends, especially Thai Ky Quan, along with their sincerity and eagerness to learn, the two gradually got used to the job. They did not hesitate to share everyday stories, behind-the-scenes moments and introduce products in a simple, intimate way, creating great sympathy with buyers.
