In the 1970s, "Chinese Kung Fu" became an 8-level high-frequency vocabulary, and there was a burst of "Bruce Lee Wind" all over the world.
Some people compare him to a dragon in the martial arts world, and some people call him a symbol of the times.
Someone inherited his kung fu, some inherited his spirit.
has a child who accidentally watched a movie by Bruce Lee, and since then he "learns without a teacher".
He practiced iron palms according to the folk prescriptions, and kept putting the mung beans in the pot with his hands. He was not stopped by his mother until his hands were "rough and fleshy".
The other kids laughed at him: "Do you think your bones are amazing, martial arts wizards, the next Bruce Lee?"
is not the next Bruce Lee, his name is Stephen Chow, he does not need to be the next Bruce Lee, because his name alone is enough The weight is heavier than sandbags.
One actor a year, one hundred years Stephen Chow
"Actually I am an actor", Stephen Chow has been working hard to become an actor recognized by others all his life.
In 1962, Stephen Chow was born in the poor district of Kowloon, Hong Kong, which is the so-called slum.
Zhou Xingchi’s mother, Ling Bao’er, had gone to college. When she named Zhou Xingchi, she based it on the sentence in "The Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng": “Xiongzhou Wulie, Jun Caixing.”
Ling Baoer’s marriage life was not smooth, so, She put all her hopes on her children.
Zhou Xingchi’s father likes to drink, eat, drink, and gambling, so he is barely able to make ends meet.
For this reason, Ling Baoer and his wife often quarreled and even fought. However, the skin trauma on their bodies was far inferior to the spiritual trauma suffered by the children. Those days were like a dark cloud covering the children's heads.
According to Zhou Xingchi's later recollection, he said that watching his parents fight when he was a child was very interesting and entertaining.
He took that period of family incompatibility lightly, and he might be squatting in a corner at the time, carefully observing, "Why did mom and dad fight again?"
When Stephen Chow was 7 years old, Ling Baoer finally decided to divorce her husband. Since then, Zhou Xingchi has added a name "child of a single parent family."
Ling Baoer obtained the custody of Zhou Xingchi, plus the other two children (Zhou Wenji, Zhou Xingxia), because of the pressure of life, she had to work two jobs a day.
Feeding the children is the most important thing.
One of them is a cashier in a restaurant, and every time Stephen Chow eats a bowl of hot noodles from his mother after school.
Therefore, Zhou Xingchi has a different kind of affection for "mian". It is not difficult to find that many movies he starred in inevitably have the scene of eating noodles, which are childhood memories and memories of his mother.
and he is also a famous "Opedi", unlike other stars, he will also bring Ling Baoer at the movie award-winning celebration.
Zhou Xingchi is not talkative, and since he was very taciturn, he prefers to use actions instead of words.
He once showed the love of being a father in movies, which may be a yearning for his lack of fatherhood in his childhood.
Mother Ling Baoer always asked Zhou Xingchi if she wanted to go with him before going to the street. Zhou Xingchi always lowered her head and shook, sucking his index finger with his mouth. He would rather stand by the window and watch the street scene for two hours.
He likes to delve into the behavior of passers-by, the various attitudes on the street, just like watching how a group of ants build a palace. This part of
has also become an element in his movies. For example, in "Kung Fu", the Minzu Building, everyone looks ordinary, but in fact they are hidden and have their own unique skills.
One year, Stephen Chow watched Bruce Lee's movie "Big Brother Tangshan", and after that he regarded Bruce Lee as an idol.
He is determined to be a martial artist or an actor.
Zhou Xingchi would practice Kung Fu foolishly when he was young, and would not stop using the mung beans in the pot with his hands. He wanted to practice an iron palm, but the result was that his entire hand was "skinned and fleshy."
If you can act in a drama one day, how happy it will be!
Later he told Ling Baoer this idea: "I want to become a Kung Fu star like Bruce Lee." His mother Ling Baoer didn't hit or stop him, but said: "It's difficult for a family like ours."
Zhou Xingchi blurted out:
After graduating from high school, Zhou Xingchi had to stop because of the heavier burdenHe only subsidized his family with his studies. He worked in a teahouse and a hall, and worked as a worker in an electronics factory. However, he never forgot his dream of being an actor. When
was 19 years old, he met Tony Leung through his sister. He told Tony Leung about his dream of being an actor, and the two applied for an artist training class for TVB.
It is embarrassing that Tony Leung was admitted, but he did not. To him, Tony Leung's talent is a blow. He loves acting so much.
but he refused to give up. After two exams, he finally entered the TVB training class as he wished. At the same time:
Tony Leung continued to play, including "Youth Station" and "Underground Love", and participated in "People's Heroes" in 1987 Won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards. And Stephen Chow can only take over the "430 Shuttle" left by Tony Leung-a children's show host.
It seems that Stephen Chow did not shine in acting. He hosted from the age of 20 to 26. A child of
6 years of hostess
6 years of nationality and nameless
6 years of youth
Anyone might ask a question: Am I not suitable for acting (doing what I like)?
If a person has worked for 6 years in a position that he does not want to be in, his ideals and ambitions may be wiped out.
But he is always looking for opportunities to act, who told him to like acting so much!
He was waiting around the station for dispatch every day, “learning to be a churro-tiao, gagging with others. For a dead body role, he spent a liter of saliva to fight for it.”
he got the 1983 version of "The Eagle Shooting Hero" A corpse character in Biography. The role of
is set to be killed by Mei Chaofeng in the palm of his hand, and the whole journey takes less than a second.
However, Zhou Xingchi felt that even a gangster should have his own way of death, so he ran to the director: "Can you stop it with your hand and die." The director told him to leave quickly.
He had a low self-esteem in those years. After waking up every day, he looked in the mirror to cheer himself up: "Come on, you are the best!"
Mr. Lu Xun said that the sorrows and joys of human beings are not the same and no one can replace them. He survived the bitterness of those years.
worked hard to live up to it. Finally in 1988, Stephen Chow ushered in the first opportunity in his life. He was invited by Li Xiuxian to play a car thief in the movie "Pioneer of the Thunder" and won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Supporting Actor And the best newcomer double nominations, the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards Best Supporting Actor Award.
, who was sitting in the audience, heard the host name Zhou Xingchi when presenting the award, and carefully asked the person next to him, is it me? When
came to the stage to accept the award, Mandarin was also very poor, saying "I will continue to work hard (work hard)".
However, you never know how desperate he was in acting. On the set, he was the one who was scolded the worst. It really complied with the saying that people are inferior to dogs.
The famous line in "Journey to the West"-he is like a dog. This sentence
comes from Li Xiuxian scolding Zhou Xingchi on the set. Because Stephen Chow acted very seriously, Li Xiuxian thought it was too much, and pointed at Stephen Chow’s nose and cursed: "Acting is not hard work, why are you working like a dog?" After
"Pioneer of Thunderbolt", Stephen Chow began to show "different" colors. Because his light is unique.
has won the Hong Kong box office champions successively starting from "Gambling Saint".
was also dubbed by the media as "Success on Double Mondays". The other two were Chow Yun-fat and Jackie Chan. The three of them were hailed as box office guarantees.
Karen Mok is very clear about this: "His comedy is not just a comedy, but it is actually very deep. In addition to making you laugh, it also talks about a lot of philosophical things."
However, although Stephen Chow is popular, it still looks like the sea. One of his boats, rain and wind blow, no one wants him to reach the end.
He just wants to act, but why so many people make things difficult for him.
Li Xiuxian saw Zhou Xingchi become famous overnight and made Zhou Xingchi shoot several movies at a very low price (700,000). At that time, other film companies paid Chow Xingchi a few million, or even nearly 10 million.
Stephen Chow did not say much about this. The major film companies in Hong Kong wanted to sign him, but Stephen Chow did not nod his head.
Until Li Xiuxian tore his face, he did not ruinDropped his own contract with Stephen Chow, but directly "sold" Stephen Chow to the "big guy" Xiang Huaqiang.
In other words, after Stephen Chow filmed Xiang Huaqiang, he still received 700,000 pieces.
In the box office of the Hong Kong film market in those two years, 7 of the top 10 high-grossing movies were from Stephen Chow, all with a box office of more than 30 million yuan, and he could only get 700,000 yuan.
Zhou Xingchi wanted to get rid of the Xiangshi Group. He tried to immigrate to Canada without success.
The Canadian Immigration Service believes that Stephen Chow is involved in gangs. They received anonymous reports from people in the Hong Kong circle, saying that Stephen Chow was an actor to help Hong Kong gangs launder money.
A money tree wants to fly solo, it seems to be a pipe dream. In order to get rid of the Xiangshi Group, Zhou Xingchi set up his own company by asking for 8 million pieces of compensation when filming "A Happy Family" for Huang Baiming.
In 1995, he invested in the filming of "Journey to the West", but it was a mess.
Hong Kong people may not have thought that "Journey to the West" could still be filmed like this? How could Monkey King have love? It was so sad?"
However, many years later, with the rampant piracy market and the popularity of the Internet, "A Story of Westward Journey" became One of the most highly rated classic films by mainland audiences has even affected the emotional concepts and expressions of an entire generation to a certain extent.
After that, he acted in several movies he didn't like. Wang Jing, who followed Xiang Huaqiang, couldn't wait to squeeze him dry, such as asking him to favor Zhang Jiahui, starring in a supporting role in "The King of Thousand Kings 2000".
He urgently needs to get rid of Xiangjia. Someone might say that giving you 700,000 is not enough?
The amount of money may not be important in Zhou Xingchi's eyes. The important thing is that he wants to act in his own scenes, he wants to make his own scenes, and at Xiangjia, he is just a tool for making money.
For this reason, Stephen Chow began to plan "Shaolin Football". At that time, Xiang Huaqiang threatened all investors in Hong Kong, and only Lin Xiaoming stood up to support him.
Facts have proved that Lin Xiaoming is correct. In 2002, "Shaolin Football" swept the Academy Awards and was a great success.
He expressed his respect for Bruce Lee in the movie, and even practiced son Chen Guokun often asked Stephen Chow about Bruce Lee's movements. At the end of the movie, Chen Guokun's goalkeeper role was injured and ended-it is Stephen Chow's tribute to Bruce Lee.
Sorry, everyone, I have to take a break. It doesn't matter, you are just a person leaving, and the spirit will always be here.
But "Shaolin Football" is banned in mainland China, Zhou Xingchi escaped Xiang Huaqiang, did not escape the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
Zhou Xingchi is still experiencing strong winds and waves.
At that time, he personally wrote several review books in accordance with the requirements of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which was a bit ugly, like a grandson.
No matter how the outside world guessed the reason for the ban of "Shaolin Football", he still remained silent. After
, the success of "Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River Seven" completely established his position in the film industry.
In 2009, Xiang Tai bombarded Zhou Xingchi in an interview section, and then Wang Jing publicly criticized Zhou Xingchi for being "difficult to communicate", and Huang Baiming said that he was "the lion speaks loudly."
"Isolate, withdrawn, incapable of life, living in my own world".
This reminds me of the scene of the protagonist's trial in "The Outsider": he was standing there, without saying a word, and others tried him, not talking about the real situation of the murder, only caring whether he looked like a moral person" Normal person".
Why is there basically no one in the Mainland criticizing Stephen Chow, it is the Hong Kong director who is scolding him?
is because Hong Kong people are accustomed to go northward in groups, but Stephen Chow is a person without the concept of factions. He does not have friendship with others. This makes those Hong Kong directors very dissatisfied and feels that Stephen Chow is impersonal. After
finished filming "Kung Fu", Master Xing's hair was completely white, but he got his wish. Subtitles appearing after the film of
"Kung Fu":
starring Stephen Chow
screenwriter Stephen Chow
producer Stephen Chow
director Stephen Chow
His talent is to make the supporting role the protagonist
Stephen Chow is no longer satisfied to be an actor and act so many plays, he knows well. How important are the characteristics of each actor to the director.
In his films, no supporting role is not eye-catching. For this reason, he often pursues perfection.
In "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", Gu Dezhao vomited blood for 3 days.
When filming "Shaolin Football", in order to pursue perfection, Zhou Xingchi asked to use a real beer bottle to smash an iron-headed master, and he stopped after 9 times. Huang Yifei was stunned on the spot and was in a coma for a long time.
In a dancing scene in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Zhou Xingchi changed his mind every minute, but he always felt bad, so Huang Bo acted 30 versions.
He is more real, just like his lines in the movie.
You don't need to be so serious, crazy! How did you know? Many people say that to me.
-"Domestic Zero Zero Paint"
He made all supporting actors a Maxima. As for how far he runs, it all depends on his ability. The supporting roles of
have become popular, even now, eight of the ten people on Zhu Yin’s Weibo call her the Zixia Fairy.
Chen Baixiang, Wu Mengda, Jiang Bao, Huang Yifei, Chen Guokun... They have also acted in other movies and TV series, but you will find that they are all passersby.
They don't have particularly strong talents, and they lose their aura without Zhou Xingchi.
Regarding the termination of the actor's contract, Zhou Xingchi said that he always chooses actors according to the script, instead of looking for roles specifically for which actor needs to be used.
His silence is solitary and shy
He just wants to make a good trick, but others don’t wait to see him
Li Xiuxian has claimed to the public that Stephen Chow is an ungrateful villain, but Zhou Xingchi mentioned Li Xiuxian all kind words:
I am very grateful to Mr. Li, because of this He didn't give the opportunity to others, but gave it to me. Without Mr. Li, I might be nothing.
Some people even talked about "Jigong" filmed by Stephen Chow in 1993. There was a line in it: "Li Xiuyuan, I will kill your whole family."
said that this was evidence of his ungratefulness, and it was Stephen Chow's personal attack on Li Xiuxian through a movie.
However, before Jigong was a monk, his real name was Li Xiuyuan.
Zhou Xingchi’s withdrawn, being himself
told Huaqiang’s wife that he did not know how to repay. Wang Jing said Zhou Xingchi was stingy, Chen Baixiang said Zhou Xingchi’s character was not suitable for friends, and Li Xiuxian said Zhou Xingchi was too good at calculating people.
Others say that Master Xing has nothing to do as a member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, but the "Mermaid" is to warn humans to protect ecological civilization, and he uses his actions to practice.
▲ Zhou Xingchi was insulted by foreign interviews
However, Huang Qiusheng once commented on Zhou Xingchi:
"You only see so many people saying that he (Zhou Xingchi) is not good, but did you see him come out and say something to others?"
Shyness
Ling Baoer said:
used to take Zhou Xingchi out for dinner, as long as there were outsiders, Zhou Xingchi used the menu to cover his face in childhood and finished a meal like this.
He is too shy to make sex scenes!
Er Dongsheng planned to find Stephen Chow as the protagonist when he was preparing for "The Erotic Man and Woman", but the film needed to be undressed. In the end, Zhou Xingchi and Er Dongsheng could not get together. Later, Leslie Cheung temporarily finished filming the movie.
Liu Zhenwei said:
"He is often misunderstood as a big name to be cool. In fact, he is a very ugly (shy) person. When filming "Journey to the West", I saw him sweeping the floor with a migrant worker with a broom. Yes At the end of work, I wanted to talk to me and secretly stuffed a note under the door of my hotel room. In fact, Xingzai is usually afraid of contacting strangers and is not proactive enough, so he is easy to be misunderstood.
He has always been like a child, and his feelings are also
when he is 28 years old. In 1988, Stephen Chow fell in love, and the woman was Luo Huijuan, an actor who was also on TVB, who was also called Juanmei.
fell in love in 1988 and broke up in 1992 due to the intervention of Zhu Yin.
In 1990, Stephen Chow acted in a total of 11 plays. At that time he was still When I was in love with Juanmei, I was too busy. Later Zhou Xingchi said in an interview with Chai Jing: "If I can come back, I hope I will not be so busy. "
Juanmei caught up with the time when the star was the most handsome, and Zhu Yin caught up with the time when the star was the most beautiful.
In 1995, Zhou Xingchi and Zhu Yin had a crack in their relationship, and the two spent exactly 3 years together.
Regarding the reason for the breakup, Zhu Yin, 9 years younger than Zhou Xingchi, said in an interview in June that year that it was because Zhou Xingchi's love mind was not mature enough.
"He is a good person. In the past few years, I have mentioned breaking up several times. He cherished me and never agreed. But this time I was determined to do this. At first, I thought the problem was with me, but later I realized that it was him. She’s mentally immature.”
Zhu Yin said, it was she who had taken the initiative to break up.
kept talking to the media, but never said it.
But for things like feelings, we cannot say who is right and who is wrong. Besides, as a man, Stephen Chow must take greater responsibility.
In November 1999, Luo Huijuan participated in a diving activity in Singapore. Her eardrum was severely injured, resulting in complete loss of hearing. Two weeks after the
incident, Zhou Xingchi learned the news from the reporter, and he asked the reporter for relevant news reports. Then he wrote a short sign: "Sister Juan, I have learned of the accident, and I am so concerned, I wish you a speedy recovery!" When Luo Huijuan received it, she said: "You see the truth in adversity!"
Today’s Zhou Xingchi has no wife and no children. Looks very lonely.
His ambition was never a laugh from a blogger.
When Stephen Chow started as a screenwriter, producer, and director, he gradually projected his life philosophy onto the characters in the movie.
He hopes that the audience will remember not only "nonsensical", but also the various forms of the world. What character
comes to life in his hands, even when he sees him on the screen, he will laugh, like an old friend reunited after a long time, just smirk: Hey, who told you to make me feel very happy back then!
When I was a child, I smiled and watched Zhou Xingchi's movie. When I grew up, I would laugh and cry. The protagonist of
, how like himself.
The small role in Zhou Xingchi's movie is not hard, not without talent, but why hasn't everyone been recognized? He was even pointed at the nose and scolded a bloody head, "Eat lunch and go shit!"
In "Shaolin Football", Ah Xing has a strong vajra legs, but he is reduced to street art.
In "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrant", Tang Bohukong has the ability to hide his name for Qiuxiang and become Hua'an with the job number 9527.
"The King of Comedy" Yin Tianchou performed earnestly and his eyes were in the drama, but he always messed up things because of accidents.
is often a test for the protagonist because of setbacks.
The road ahead is still long, how can I give up.
As long as there is a battle that can be fought well, it can win everyone's approval.
No one cares about your past bitterness, but someone will see your efforts and give you a result.
There will be long winds and waves, and there will be times when the clouds are sailed straight to benefit the sea.
Zhou Xingchi’s theory in the movie may be: if you swallow the bitterness of
's life, continue to infect your surroundings with a smile, and one day there will be light.
told the audience: Can't live? I raise you! I teach you!
Once, after a female reporter interviewed Zhou Xingchi, she asked him to write a note on the back of a photo.
According to her memories, for a moment, Zhou Xingchi showed a sad expression, and then wrote a few words crookedly: "Why persist, think about it."
If you
feel a lot of pressure in life,
trouble
, hold on again. !
That generation has grown up. When "Mermaid" was released, many netizens who watched the movie said that they owed a movie ticket to Master Xing.
I think
is not
because we owe Xingye’s movie ticket
to see his movie
but his movie
is really good!
I didn’t know what I liked in the play at first
, and then I’m already in the play
