Zhou Xingchi is an actor that everyone is very familiar with. With his unique funny and nonsensical style, Xing Ye brings a lot of laughter to everyone. However, when Zhou Xingchi first started filming, Zhou Xingchi's status was very low, and he was called "Xingzi", but now everyone talks about Zhou Xingchi using "Xing Ye". But as for how Zhou Xingchi's title of "Master of the Star" came from, no one has studied much. In fact, there are many different opinions about this title.
First of all, this title is related to Stephen Chow’s success that year. At that time, there was a saying in Hong Kong that "successful on two Mondays", referring to Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat and Jackie Chan, who were regarded as box office guarantees at the time, as long as there were these three people. Participating movies will sell at the box office. Since Stephen Chow starred in "The Gambler", he has become a popular actor and his status in the circle has also risen, so he is respected by many people as the star. Another way of saying
is that in "Sacred Gambling", Zhou Xingchi, who has a special function, helped Wu Jun win money from betting on horses. Later, Wu Junru called Zhou Xingchi to help her three times. This film had a great influence at the time, and people gradually accepted this title.
The third argument is related to a movie, this movie is directed by Tsui Hark, and more than 200 well-known celebrities and actors participated in "The Big Banquet" with zero pay. In the movie, Zeng Zhiwei said: "It turns out that Stephen Chow is the master star." After the film was broadcast, the term "master star" spread.
There is another saying that because Zhou Xingchi's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, Sammo Hung half-jokingly said at an actor party: "The star can no longer represent your current status. You have to be called the star." "Sambo Hung is a big brother in the Hong Kong film industry. After he called Master Xing, the name spread in the circle.
According to Zhou Xingchi himself, everyone called him Master Xing and he didn't change it himself. It was a celebration banquet and the reporter said that he wanted to take pictures. Dasha (Cheng Kui'an) said next to him, Master Xing, taking pictures, it won’t be good in the future. It's called Xingzi, so it's Xingye. So when the reporter saw me, they all started calling me Star Master.
no matter what the reason is, it shows that Stephen Chow had a pivotal position in the circle and his influence was also very large, otherwise there would be no such title.
