Khuong Dai Ve: Photo Emperor used to eat the same tray with the husband of the Queen of England, Jackie Chan must also be jealous

In the 70s - 80s of the last century, Khuong Dai Ve was the legend, the name representing the faction of strength and flow, the one who called the rain to call the wind on the image of Hong Kong. At that time, Jackie Chan was still a kid struggling to find his way to fame, could only stand and look at Khuong Dai Ve from afar with eyes of both admiration and envy.

Khuong Dai Ve's real name is Khuong Vy Nien, English name is John Chiang, born in 1947 in Suzhou, father is Nghiem Hoa (real name: Khuong Khac Ky) - a famous actor in the 40s.

Coming from a family, at the age of 4, Khuong Dai Ve became a child actor, then took the stage name Nghiem Vy.

Thanks to his natural, not timid acting, the child actor Nghiem Vy was quickly promoted in the movies: Miss Mai, Beautiful Spring... In elementary school, Khuong Dai Ve had to study and act at the same time. movie, very hard.

In high school, Khuong Dai Ve was no longer interested in studying, he was suspended twice, until he was 17 years old, he graduated from high school. Therefore, Khuong Dai Ve decided to leave school to find a job.

He worked through many jobs such as office worker, selling antiques... but there was no stable and long-lasting job.

Later, Khuong Dai Ve followed his father Qin Bai to Taiwan to work as an assistant in a film company, and at the same time followed Luu Gia Luong to practice martial arts.

Later, when the American movie The Sand Pebbles went to Taiwan to shoot outside, Qin Bai had a supporting role in the film and he introduced Jiang Dawei to be a martial artist.

Can't be a martial artist for life

In 1967, Khuong Dai Ve and Luu Gia Luong returned to Hong Kong to make a Cantonese martial arts film. Due to his small and short appearance, Khuong Dai Ve is often invited to act as a substitute for ... actresses.

Khuong Dai Ve was introduced by Master Duong Giai to join Shaw company (Thieu Thi) as a cascadeur. At that time, Duong Giai was a martial arts director of director Truong Triet.

When filming the martial arts movie Kim Yen Tu, there was a scene where the character broke a window, jumped from the second floor, no one dared to accept this scene, but Khuong Dai Ve only made one take, which made director Truong. Triet satisfied.

Director Truong Triet asked Duong Giai, who is this young man, knowing that Khuong Dai Ve is Nghiem Hoa's son, Truong Tri decided to give him more acting opportunities.

Since 1968, Truong Tri has been quietly training promising young faces, and Khuong Dai Ve and Dich Long are two bright actors who caught his eye.

In 1970, when the main actor Vuong Vu left Shaw, Truong Tri immediately supported Khuong Dai Ve and Di Long as replacements.

Truong Tri invited Khuong Dai Ve to sign a contract as an actor, but Khuong Dai Ve did not immediately accept because he was working as a martial arts teacher at that time, with a monthly income of 4,000 - 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, much higher than the salary of an actor. normal contract.

After a few days of thinking, Khuong Dai Ve also agreed to sign a 3-year contract, because he thought he came from an artist's family, his brother Qin Bai created a reputation in Taiwan, he could not be a martial artist. forever.

After observing Khuong Dai Ve and Dich Long "from head to toe", Truong Triet discovered: Khuong Dai Ve was cold and quiet, while Di Long was handsome and open. If you combine the two, their opposites on the silver screen are sure to attract audiences.

Di Long's handsome face is very suitable for the role of a great knight. Meanwhile, Khuong Dai Ve's feisty and impulsive physique is suitable for playing a romantic role.

However, because of box office revenue, Truong Triet prioritized Dich Long to play the male lead role in films such as Tu Giac, Unknowingly Tie Thu, Winged Tiger... Khuong Dai Ve only played the main male role.

Less than a year later, Truong Tri boldly assigned Khuong Dai Ve to take on the male lead role in the movie Du Hiep Nhi.

Truong Tri found that the eccentricity, strength, and a bit of arrogance in Khuong Dai Ve's person suited the main character.

Thua triumphed, director Truong Triet continued to carry out a series of martial arts films: Vengeance, Thirteen Thai Bao, Little Killer... all played by Khuong Dai Ve and Dich Long as the main pillars.

Crowned the Emperor Photo when he was not yet 23 years old

In 1970, the film Vengeance attended the 16th Asian Film Festival held in Indonesia, and Khuong Dai Ve won the Outstanding Actor Award.

That year, Khuong Dai Ve was not yet 23 years old. He even shared a meal with Prince Philip - husband of the Queen of England...

After receiving the award, Khuong Dai Ve was ridiculed by the public as "The Emperor is shrinking", because he is quite modest in height. This proves that some people are still conservative and do not accept the prominence of an actor without appearance.

However, his award has a special meaning as it is the tall, majestic "portrait of the great knight" that Vuong Vu previously portrayed.

At this time, it was rumored that Di Long was jealous of Khuong Dai Ve because Dai Ve was awarded the prize. Between the two actors, there was a "face-to-face disapproval" incident.

In the fall of 1970, Gia Hoa film company staged the movie "The Great War of the Blind Knight" by the film company, played by Vuong Vu.

Shaw company immediately found a countermeasure, on the one hand suing Gia Hoa for copyright infringement of the work of Doc Ty Dao, on the other hand, for Truong Triet to make the film Tan Doc Ty Dao, starring Dich Long and Khuong Dai Ve.

In February 1971, The Great War of the Blind Knight and the New Toad were shown at the same time, shocking the press for a while.

Remember in 1968, when Vuong Vu acted in the movie Doc Ty Dao Vuong, Khuong Dai Ve was still an unknown martial artist, did not expect that three years later they would have the opportunity to differentiate between high and low talents.

What surprised everyone the most was that when Vuong Vu and Khuong Dai Ve met in Taiwan, the two did not quarrel but became close friends, even co-founding the Vuong Khuong film company in 2018. 1977. The duo co-directed and acted in the movie Single Ti Song Hero.

By the end of the 90s of the last century, the Hong Kong film industry fell into a period of stagnant development, actors fell into unemployment.

Witnessing that tragic situation, Khuong Dai Ve decided to retire from his career right at the top of his glory, taking his wife and children to Canada to live, spending all his time with his small family.

It was not until the last few years that Khuong Dai Ve returned to Hong Kong because he missed his job too much. Unfortunately, in the entertainment industry, which is a "cold tea person", Khuong Dai Ve has been absent for so long, so his reputation and position are no longer the same. While Jackie Chan has become a Hollywood star, the veteran actor can only take on small roles on the screen.

This year, Jiang Dawei is 76 years old, but if you see his latest pictures, maybe everyone will be shocked. Because the male actor is still as good as ever.
