Chiang Sheng is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on April 27, 1951 in Taiwan, Taiwan.
In the mid 70’s the renowned Shaw Brothers Studio’s director Chang Cheh went to Taiwan looking for new talents. He met Chiang Sheng, Kuo Chui and Lu Feng there. In the 1976 those three together with Lo Mang took part in their pre- starting movie Shaolin Temple (not to be confused with the movie with the same title released in 1982 starring Jet Li). Two years later, in 1978, Chang Cheh presented the film Five Venoms, starring Chiang Sheng, Kuo Chui, Lu Feng, Lo Mang, Sun Chien and Wei Pai. All of them were still newcomers in HK movie industry, Chang Cheh didn’t include any great stars of the time in the cast, introducing new faces to the audience and the new formula of martial art movies – in this and subsequent movies not only one hero fights well, but any person of the main cast has his own style and great ability to fight.
The movie had a great success in Hong Kong and also in the West. Since then
the first five actors are known as “Venoms”. (Wei Pai played The Snake, but he
is referred as “sixth venom” because he took part only in a few subsequent
“venom” movies, while Chiang Sheng became an integral part of the troupe. He
played a disciple learning all five styles and referred as the “hybrid venom”
)
The team continued with the formula. Chiang Sheng, Kuo Chui and Lu Feng, all
with Chinese opera background, became action directors for Chang Cheh’s
movies. Soon Chiang Sheng also started working as an assistant director. The
cast, including the Five venoms, and also Wong Lik, Yu Tai-Ping, Johnny Wang,
Ku Feng, sometimes together with Alexander Fu Sheng, Ti Lung and others,
appeared in more than a dozen films. Among them there are “kung fu classic”
like Crippled Avengers, Shaolin Rescuers, Legend of the Fox, The Rebel
Intruders, filled with great martial art performance and wuxia entourage.
Chiang Sheng could not only enrich the movie with breathtaking acrobatic
exercise, but also bring the comic relief to it.
The Venom mob disbanded in 1981. Three of them – Kuo Chui, Chiang Sheng and Lu
Feng – founded a new production company in Taiwan. Chiang Sheng acted and
choreographed the action scenes in their debut film “Ninja in the Deadly Trap”
(a.k.a. “Ruthless Tactics”) Soon Kuo Chui went back to Hong Kong and wanted
Chiang Sheng to go with him, but Chiang Sheng’s wife insisted on his staying
in Tawan.
Chiang Sheng could not get worthwhile job in Taiwan, later on he divorced his
wife, he felt depressed, and became a hard drinker.
