Most people give affirmation to Zhou Xingchi's works. Many people say: "You don’t know Stephen Chow when you’re young, and it’s a good time to read it! Every little person is very representative!" But did you know that Stephen Chow has only won the Golden Statue Winner once and was nominated 7 times Lost 6 times!
for the first time: in 1991, lost to Leslie Cheung
In 1990, "Gambling Saint" became the annual box office champion in Hong Kong. It can be said that this movie is an important work of Stephen Chow's journey of nonsensical comedy. In 1991, Stephen Chow was also nominated for the Golden Image Award winner for his role as Zuo Songxing in this movie. But unfortunately, he met Leslie Cheung, Leung Ka Fai, Jacky Cheung and Xu Guanwen at that time. These are all excellent actors in the film industry, and no one is wronged to lose. In the end, Leslie Cheung won the laurel of the Golden Statue with the role of Xu Zai in "A Fei True Story"!
second time: in 1992, lost to Zeng Zhiwei
In 1992, "Play Back To School" was released in Hong Kong for the second week, breaking the film "Hong Kong Midnight Show", "Hong Kong Four O'clock Show" and "The Second Four O'clock Show" "Wait for all box office records. This is the first time Stephen Chow has got rid of the role of the younger brother, and it has once again nominated Stephen Chow to be the winner of the Academy Awards. And this time, along with Stephen Chow, also nominated Lu Liangwei, Andy Lau, Chow Yunfa, and Zeng Zhiwei. At that time, many people thought that even if it was not Stephen Chow, it would be Chow Yun-fat, but they did not expect that in the end, Zeng Zhiwei won the first place with Zhiwei in "A Tale of Two Cities"!
third time: in 1993, lost to Leung Ka-fai
. In 1992, the remake of the classic Cantonese opera "The Dead Officer" was not so humorous compared to Stephen Chow's usual dramas, but it revealed the interpretation of human nature everywhere! Stephen Chow also won the best actor at the 37th Asia Pacific Film Festival for this film, and was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards in 1993. And this time, he lost to Leung Ka Fai's "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose"!
fourth time: In 1995, I lost to Tony Leung
. "Domestic Lingling Paint" released in 1994 is the most parody of all 007 works, but it also incorporates many Chinese elements. This wonderful combination makes It won the third place at the box office that year, and Zhou Xingchi was nominated again for the best actor of the Hong Kong Film Awards. It's just a pity that at the same time, Tony Leung, who had just transitioned to a literary line, was also nominated. Tony Leung's "Chongqing Forest" won Stephen Chow's "Domestic Lingling Paint"!
Fifth time: In 1996, I lost to Qiao Hong
. Many people know that, although "Journey to the West" is a classic in the hearts of many people today, some of the lines in it are talked about by everyone. But when the movie was first released in 1995, the box office was not high, and it was regarded as a relatively unsuccessful work among Zhou Xingchi's works! So in 1996, Stephen Chow was nominated for the Academy Awards again but lost to Qiao Hong, who had an outstanding performance in "Forty Women", it is not surprising!
Sixth time: In 2005, once again lost to Tony Leung
Tony Leung is one of Stephen Chow's opponents in the Golden Image King. As long as Stephen Chow meets him, he will lose! In 2004, Stephen Chow’s "Kung Fu" made the world’s eyes shine brightly. Except for the protagonist Xingzi, each small character has its own unique charm. Juan's charter wife, the Huoyun Cthulhu who is obsessed with martial arts, and the stupid Fatty Cong are all impressive. The evaluation of this movie was very high at the time, everyone thought Stephen Chow was stable this time! But in the end, what was unexpected: Tony Leung once again won Stephen Chow with "2046"!
Although the opponents are all great, but nominated seven times and lost six times, it must be a bit uncomfortable for anyone with an open mind! Fortunately, Xingye paid much more attention to the work itself than fame and fortune, and then he still brought many classic works to everyone!
