Whether you want to admit it or not, in Zhou's nonsensical comedy, no actor can play Stephen Chow. Andy Lau's own acting skills are fine, but in front of the comedy master, everyone who plays is like a pupil, and he is destined to be crushed by the star. Because of this, Andy Lau never dared to cooperate with Stephen Chow.
Now when we talk about the films they collaborated with, "The Gambler" and "Tricky Expert", what basically comes to mind are Zhou Xingchi's funny and nonsensical images, but for Andy Lau's performance in the film, it does not seem to have much impression. When I saw these two works for the first time, I felt that Andy Lau came to play a supporting role. He was responsible for completing the auxiliary tasks, and the outstanding part was given to Stephen Chow. But many people don't know that At that time Andy Lau was obviously more popular than Zhou Xingchi, how could he be a match for others?
In fact, "The Gambler" Andy Lau is the absolute number one male protagonist, and Stephen Chow is the second male protagonist. He assisted the Uranus. In the period of "Tricky Expert", because Stephen Chow was already popular at this time, Wang Jing arranged that they are both the first male lead, and their roles in the play are basically equal, so that both teams are very satisfied. What's interesting is that the directors of these two dramas are both Wang Jing. He suffered too much from Andy Lau and Stephen Chow's acting. In fact, he saw it in his eyes and felt very helpless. In the eyes of Fatty Wang, Andy Lau was always pressed by Zhou Xingchi. He acted very hard, but thankless.
In fact, in one of Stephen Chow’s classics, his nonsensical comedy style has been unique, with his own unique film rhythm and language. Therefore, no matter who participates, they are actually cooperating with Zhou Xingchi and following his rhythm. There is no way to change it. Andy Lau’s own movie style is not obvious. He may be brilliant in a serious movie story, but in nonsensical comedies, his performance is destined to be drowned in Zhou Xingchi’s laughter. This is helpless, but it is also a Have to accept the reality.
So we can understand why, besides Andy Lau, no other big-name actor has played with Stephen Chow for so many years, but only the golden supporting roles of Wu Mengda and Chen Guokun have partnered with him. The reason is that as mentioned above, no one can beat Stephen Chow in a comedy. The harder other actors act, the more ridiculously naive they may appear in front of the proficient performance of Master Xing. Under such circumstances, who would be willing to step on thunder? Andy Lau has suffered twice, and his team does not allow him to do such stupid things.
