entertainment industry pays attention to portals. If you are a queen actor of a major director, you will have a high status in the entertainment industry. At that time, Zhang Ziyi was born as a "mou girl", and there are also "Jing girl" Qiu Shuzhen in Hong Kong, who are actresses of the great director Wang Jing. Generally, actors who have become great directors will become popular in the future. It can be seen here that the casting of the great director is really visionary. Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are all examples.
In the middle of the last century, the “mentor-apprentice relationship” was popular in the Hong Kong entertainment circle at that time. The old Hong Kong star Zheng Peipei was the “famous teacher” and the master was the great director Li Hanxiang. She used to be the master of action movies, but later "Martial Arts" became lonely and withdrew from the mainstream of the market. Those "Xiaosheng" and "Hua Dan" were gradually forgotten, and no one looked for them to film.
In the 1990s, Hong Kong comedy rose, and the most popular is Stephen Chow. At that time, there was no box office for serious movies, and it might be worthless. However, Stephen Chow's "Wonderful" movie is very popular. Although it looks weird and very funny, it still makes a lot of money.
Now Stephen Chow is already a master of Chinese comedy, and he is also very successful as a director, setting a box office record for domestic movies. Wulitou culture has become a feature of Hong Kong movies and is now imitated. Even if Stephen Chow was very popular back then, it was a box office guarantee, but people in the entertainment industry looked down on him.
So Zhou Xingchi was very depressed back then. He felt that he was born at an untimely time. Why is he so good but not recognized by everyone? In fact, Zhou Xingchi's works are very similar to Chaplin, which looks funny, but the expression is very deep. Everyone just saw the funny side, and many people who greeted his achievements slandered him as a "clown."
Zheng Peipei went upstream at that time and made a film by Stephen Chow, and performed "Tang Bohu Pointing Autumn Fragrance" with Chow Xingchi and Gong Li. This incident aroused controversy back then, because Zheng Peipei was an "old star" and had a higher status. Making movies with younger comedy stars made the old directors unhappy.
But Zheng Peipei is very dedicated. Although she doesn't understand Wuliu, she looked for a lot of Zhou Xingchi's films to watch. In the end, the box office of this movie was very high. What do you think of Stephen Chow?
