Zhou Xingchi is a very good actor and director in the past 30 years. How many actors are eager to appear in his works. Even if he plays a small supporting role, he may rise to the sky and become famous in one fell swoop. But there was an actor, but he rejected Zhou Xingchi.
When Stephen Chow was preparing to film "Mermaid", this young actor took a new script to Hong Kong to visit the star. Zhou Xingchi talked with him a lot of topics and worked together for a few days. Zhou Xingchi also read the script he prepared carefully. It was a superhero movie. Zhou Xingchi was very happy to watch it. He even wanted to invest a part of the money, but he refused.
is even more surprising that Stephen Chow wants to invite him to star in "The Mermaid." Unexpectedly, he was rejected by the young actor. His reason was that he wanted to be a director and shoot the script himself, but the shooting time of the two works was too close. This actor is Dapeng, and the script he took is "Pancake Man".
Dapeng rejected Zhou Xingchi's invitation, which was definitely a stupid decision at the time. But the facts proved that Dapeng's choice was right. After his director's "Pancake Man" was released in 2015, it became a hit with a box office of 1.156 billion. The nearly 2 billion box office made Dapeng a lot of money, and Zhang Chaoyang, who supported him, made a lot of money.
For Dapeng, in addition to the good box office harvest, perhaps he has more courage and confidence. He is too short of a work to justify his name. After graduating from university in 2004, Dapeng was impoverished, dreaming of chasing music, but suffered the shrinking of the recording industry. He had to think about food and clothing first, joined Zhang Chaoyang's company, and then hosted "Star Online" and "Dapeng Bing Ba Bing", and gradually formed his own comedy style, which gave him the courage to be a director.
In 2012, a network drama "Diaosi Men" was aired, and a large number of popular stars were invited to participate in the recording of the show. Just as everyone was talking about who is the Dapeng who can invite so many celebrities, he has declared his popularity and has become a popular artist.
We certainly don't know now, what kind of rhetoric was used by Dapeng to touch Zhang Chaoyang and let him use all his contacts to invite many celebrities to join him. "Diaosi Man" has indeed brought huge traffic and revenue to companies facing difficulties.
When Dapeng took the script of "Pancake Man" and put it on Zhang Chaoyang's table, perhaps Zhang Chaoyang did not promise lightly, but thought that if Dapeng suffered a fiasco, he might be able to stay in the company for a lifetime. Be a pony for him and work hard. In order to achieve this goal smoothly, he also made a cameo in the movie.
To Zhang Chaoyang’s surprise, "Pancake Man" was surprisingly successful, whether it was the lack of outstanding comedy films in Chinese films, or Dapeng’s personal style that brought long-lost laughter to the audience, this movie made Dapeng Become a hot star. At that moment, everyone cheered for Dapeng and wished a child who had been dreaming for a long time to finally come true. But for Zhang Chaoyang, what he has to consider is the day when Dapeng leaves, and there are still a few days left.
Counting from 2004, Zhang Chaoyang has supported Dapeng for 14 years, even when no one pays attention to him, he still supports him. From 2015 when Dapeng became popular, he has not left, and it has been 3 years now. In 2017, he also directed a hit movie "Sewing Machine Band". For a three-year period, all repayments should have been completed. Dapeng's dream is not limited to being a program producer. The sky he longed for was endless and infinite.
Therefore, when Dapeng announced that he had left Zhang Chaoyang, Zhang Chaoyang gave him a "prosperous future". The best friend is like this, who can share adversity and wealth together.
