As we all know, Stephen Chow and Andy Lau have never co-starred in the same movie since they collaborated in "Tricky Expert" in 1991. Even in Shaolin Football in 2001, Hua Zai only sang the theme song and never appeared in the movie. Show up.
Zhou Xingchi and Andy Lau are both superstars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. The Gamblers and Tricky Experts that they collaborated back then were also big box office sales. The two of them no longer cooperated because of speculation by the mass media. The most widely spread is that when filming "Tricky Expert", there was an incident that two people did not want to mention. To put it bluntly, a supernatural incident occurred. It is also this incident that caused the supernatural expert and the Feng Shui master to warn them that they cannot Cooperating again, so they never filmed together for more than 20 years.
Of course, this statement has not been confirmed by the parties, it was just speculation by the Hong Kong media. Nowadays, people are no longer as superstitious as they used to be, and this argument is obviously untenable.
We can find the reason from other places.
1, film types. At that time, Stephen Chow was a representative figure in comedy films, with his own style, and Xing Ye's movie must be the absolute protagonist. Hua Tsai is good at acting like punks and other characters, and there is no overlap between their types.
2, popularity. Master Xing has an almost invincible appeal in his comedy field. Huazi was also very popular at the time. Movies frequently appeared in the male number one, and music was one of the four kings. The popularity was a mess. Neither of them need to lower themselves in order to accommodate each other, the so-called king does not see the king.
3, Hua Tsai's early acting skills were young, and he was often easily robbed of the limelight in films such as "The Gambler". With these experiences, Andy Lau would definitely not play such roles again.
4. Maybe they both want to cooperate since the new century, but once both parties are worthy, and the coming age is also old, it is difficult to find a script suitable for both parties.
In fact, they have cooperated in "Shaolin Football", although only in the way of Huazi singing the theme song. But it is certain that the two of them have a good relationship and there is no contradiction.
It's a pity that in "Tricky Expert", Xingye left his first screen kiss to Andy Lau, but they didn't expect them to cooperate anymore! It makes people sigh!
