＂I am Chinese＂ Uncle Da’s last role before his death, just like his last Weibo
On February 27, a piece of news touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. Mr. Wu Mengda, a famous Hong Kong movie star, died of liver cancer at the age of 69.
The most exciting actor who grew up in Hong Kong with us in the video studio is gone! It also took away the youth of the post-70s and post-80s generation, the gold medal supporting actor who was so fascinating in the movie, and the memories of the golden age of Hong Kong movies for generations of Chinese!
The last big screen film that Uncle Da shot before his death, the main theme of the war blockbuster "Entrance to the Sea" with the anti-terrorism operation of the naval special forces as the theme has been pushed on the hot search! Fans are full of expectations for this film that will appear in this year’s National Day file. This is a film about the heroic and tenacious battle between a naval special forces in our country and overseas illegal interest organizations, and finally successfully recapture our country’s important marine scientific research achievements, defend national property and people’s lives. Uncle Da successfully played a patriotic scientist who mastered marine high-tech achievements in the film. This role is Uncle Da’s wish and echoes the last Weibo in his life "I am Chinese"
As Uncle Da’s last big-screen movie, "Sea Crossing", was highly anticipated. The reporter contacted the film’s producers and some staff, and also learned about a more authentic Uncle Da behind the scenes.
On the screen, every wonderful performance of Uncle Da actually comes from the dedication and dedication behind it.
The crew staff revealed that Uncle Da’s usual behavior is to "two without" on the set, one without a script, and the other without an assistant.
Without a script, it was Uncle Da who would try to figure out the characters and lines again and again before filming, memorizing them by heart. Every time the director came to the scene and told everyone about the next scene and asked the actors to match the words, some actors asked what the content of the scene was! The director would say: "You asked Uncle Da!" The content of each scene was carefully installed in Uncle Da’s mind. Because of his good homework, Uncle Da never brought a script to the scene.
Uncle Da is approachable from producers to directors, down to the production staff. Uncle Da respects every staff member, and his easygoing humility can always be integrated with everyone. He keeps saying, "Everyone works harder than me!" Someone asked Uncle Da, "At your age, you should bring an assistant to help you take care of the scene work!" Uncle Da quipped, "Isn’t every brother on the scene my assistant?"
The filmmakers who have worked with Uncle Da know one thing, as long as Uncle Da is in the group! Every day, the whole group will be invited to have afternoon tea, hamburgers + coffee, to reward everyone, and to agree to Uncle Da’s words that everyone is too hard! In the movie "Entrance to the Sea", the crew still maintains this tradition, and each time the guests are invited to spend nearly 10,000 yuan. When the whole team shouts "Thank you Uncle Da!", the 69-year-old Uncle Da smiles from ear to ear, like a child, he often says a sentence: "The actors can call it a day after the play! The staff work the hardest from morning to night!" No wonder Uncle Da is so popular! The audience in the play loves it, and the peers outside the play support it.
As we all know, Uncle Da’s heart had been operated on, and his body was already weak, but Uncle Da dedicated himself to the role as always for the film career he loved. When Uncle Da was filming the role of marine scientist in "Sea Clash", the production department of the crew was full of worries, because the film was filmed for the first time on the country’s most important weapon, the combustible ice mining platform, climbing from the sea to the platform as high as 100 meters, and the climbing stairs were built with simple scaffolds. A healthy young man was out of breath every time he went up, which was even more difficult for Uncle Da. The production department tried their best, but it could not be achieved due to the situation on site. Uncle Da did not complain. He climbed up and down again and again, and often needed to rest many times before he could move forward. The staff who took care of Uncle Da repeatedly advised Uncle Da to slow down and slow down, but Uncle Da always tried his best to stay optimistic! Persist and persevere!

In fact, behind Uncle Da’s insistence, we see the virtues of the artist, the reverence for the profession, and the love for movies!
Uncle Da’s classic interpretation is too much! Cao Dahua eats soft rice hard, Salted Egg Superman Ghost King Da, Bone Mianmao Hai Gonggong, Bajie reincarnation second master, he is gone but the happiness left to us is still there! Thank you, Uncle Da…
Uncle Da reserved the last wonderful performance for "Encounter to the Sea". We sincerely hope that this movie can live up to expectations and draw a perfect end to Uncle Da’s brilliant film career!… At that time, we will be reunited with Uncle Da in the movie…
Pretending to be happy and sad all his life, and tasting joys and sorrows all over his half life.
