Zhou Xingchi, known as the "once in a hundred years", is now very unwelcome. Not only did the audience complain about him, but many first-line stars also refused to make Zhou Xingchi's movies. The reason Lin Gengxin also said: mainly because it is too embarrassing. Actors who have worked with Stephen Chow know that he is too demanding. If a shot does not achieve the effect he wants, he will have to remake it all the time. It takes a lot of time. For the first-line stars, time is money!
Lin Gengxin had collaborated with Zhou Xingchi. He realized this when filming "Journey to the West: The Demon". A kissing scene was taken more than a dozen times. At the end of the filming, both parties were unable to enter the scene. It's really annoying. Stephen Chow's obsession with movies has also become the biggest obstacle to his directing journey, and many outstanding actors are unwilling to cooperate with him.
It is true that a shot is NG dozens of times, and which actor is not happy to change it. After all, not every actor can become Stephen Chow. What they want more is fame and profit.
