Today, let’s talk about Zhou Xingchi, Master Xing.
has gone from being an actor, to dedicating countless classic "kings of comedy", to the director; from being young to full of silver.
, who has brought us endless joy with a number of classic comedy movies and original nonsensical funny styles, is 57 years old today.
01
If you don't have a dream, what is the difference with salted fish?
If you have to use one sentence to describe Zhou Xingchi, I think this sentence in "Shaolin Football" is the most suitable for Zhou Xingchi. If
has to add one more sentence to this sentence,
"One actor a year, a hundred years of Stephen Chow" deserves it! On June 22, 1962, Zhou Xingchi was born in the poor district of Kowloon, Hong Kong. His name was derived from his mother, from "The Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng": "Xiongzhou Wuli, handsome stars."
Zhou Xingchi’s childhood was not easy. His parents divorced when he was 7 years old. His mother took him and his sister and younger sister to maintain a difficult life, even doing two jobs alone.
Fortunately, the three of them are very sensible, which also makes mother feel gratified.
Because the three sisters are growing up, no matter how difficult it is, my mother will buy them some meat every week.
But he was always fooling around, eating two mouthfuls and vomiting in the bowl. His sister and sister were still willing to eat, and his mother was reluctant to waste it, so he had to eat all the remaining dishes, and Zhou Xingchi was beaten frequently for this.
Once, my mother hadn't paid her salary for two months, and finally got some money and bought chicken legs for their three sisters.
He took a few bites again and "accidentally" dropped the chicken leg on the ground. His mother was angry and distressed. He picked up the cane and started smoking him a dozen times, "Make you naughty, let you cherish it!"
cried It took a while before I started to eat. Mother picked up the drumsticks, reluctant to throw them away, rinsed them with boiling water and ate them by herself.
When he was sleeping, his mother asked him if it hurts. Are you still naughty in the future?
He smiled and said: "I'm going to bed, I'll have class tomorrow."
In 2001, when Zhou Xingchi and his mother were a guest on Phoenix Satellite TV, he talked about the past again.
Zhou's mother kindly said: "He was really naughty at that time! I don't know how much this meal came, so I don't cherish it at all." I gave it to us. Would you be willing to eat it if I hadn't deliberately got the chicken drumsticks on the ground?" He said, "Although I acted in countless acts, I want to say that my best act was when I was seven."
The young Zhou Xingchi is a totally boring, silent and unpleasant child.
will shyly hide behind his mother and dare not come out until he is 10 years old.
is such a shy child who suddenly became a whimsical actor
. When Zhou Xingchi wanted to be a kung fu star like Bruce Lee in junior high school, every day he took advantage of Zhou's mother to not pay attention, scrambled soybeans, and practiced "iron palm." After
worked hard for a while, he found the principal: "I can't study, my strength is martial arts, I want to start classes in school and accept apprentices." The result of
is obvious. .
After graduating from middle school, he ran through the classroom and worked as a power plant worker. It was also during this time that he met Tony Leung.
and they went to the TVB acting class. As a result, Tony Leung passed the exam once, and Stephen Chow was only able to get what he wanted after twice.
He wants to act, but the job before him is-host. He hosted very badly, very boring, very embarrassing.
Hong Kong media has always been very venomous, saying: "Even the host is so bad, how can you be an actor."
, but he has done this job for 6 years, 20 to 26 years old, the most passionate youth.
He cut out the newspaper and stuck it on the wall to stimulate himself. When
washes his face and brushes his teeth every day, he shouts into the mirror: "Come on!"
At that time Tony Leung had already emerged, while Stephen Chow was just running around in various TV shows.
"I wasted a liter of saliva to fight for a dead body role."
zIn 0z "The King of Comedy", Yin Tianchou's dialogue with the heroine is about his 6 years. :"Miss, if you insist on telling me to be a fool, can you not add a "dead" in front?"
, even if he plays a dead body, he has to think about the level of performance.
1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he plays a soldier, in a scene, he is about to be beaten to death by Mei Chaofeng. Before the performance of
, he took the initiative to discuss with the deputy director: "Can I block it with my hand and die with the second palm."
He played countless dead bodies. It was not until 1988 that he got a heavyweight "supporting role." After "Pioneer of Thunder", Stephen Chow won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.
His career as an actor has only then started to get on track.
In 1990, he used nonsensical performances in "Sacred Gambling" with a fascinating plot and exaggerated and funny details. In the end, the movie burst and broke the Hong Kong box office record.
Then he starred in "The Gambler" and "Play Back To School" series of movies.
From then on, Stephen Chow’s excellent works have continued, such as "Tang Bohu Pointing Autumn Fragrance", "A Westward Journey", "The King of Comedy", "Kung Fu", etc., especially the two parts of "A Westward Journey" in 1995, which have become masterpieces in the hearts of movie fans.
He broke all the hardships of life, tore the wounds into jokes, and moved such "little people" characters into his movies. It was once funny and absurd.
Yin Tianchou in "The King of Comedy" is the one who is "deadly running".
The trash picker in "Shaolin Football" is he who is unwilling to pursue his dreams.
The bandit in "Journey to the West" is the one who failed to catch love.
The father in "Yangtze River No. 7" is trying to make money.
But this man who accompanied us to grow up and watched the rise and fall of the Chinese film industry for 30 years. Except for filming and publicity, it basically disappeared in the entertainment industry. He was no longer seen on the
screen. After leaving the last sentence in "Yangtze River No. 7", "I really think I'm handsome", he turned behind the scenes and stopped acting.
has become the star of the myth in the movie circle. With the role of a migrant worker, he bid farewell to his career as an actor.
No matter how many years have passed, the three characters Zhou Xingchi are the most distinctive mark of the Chinese film scene, our most precious memory. That's why someone said: "One actor in a year, Stephen Chow for a hundred years."
But behind the Fengshen, there is endless sadness.
02
Is Zhou Xingchi's character really bad?
Zhou Xingchi, a figure who has been in the Chinese film industry for decades, used unreasonable behavior and thoughts to promote the nonsensical culture to the whole of Asia. It is precisely this person who has changed from a "star boy" to a "star master". But in the whirlpool of being disapproved by industry peers and being crazily pursued by movie fans.
has many people who like Zhou Xingchi’s movies, but people in the circle comment on him very negatively, saying that he loves money like life and does not keep promises, saying that he is arrogant and domineering, and there is no one who is defiant...
has the most discussion than Zhou Xingchi. Wu Mengda, the "Uncle Da" who works most tacitly, has not cooperated for more than ten years. This has made the outside world speculate that the relationship between the two is not harmonious. Many people think that it is because Zhou Xingchi is too difficult to get along with.
However, no matter how deep the misunderstanding of the outside world, or even some deliberate smears, Stephen Chow never responded.
"Golden Partner" Wu Mengda was interviewed to make some clarifications for him. In fact, the two wanted to cooperate several times, only because "Uncle Da" was unwell or the role was inappropriate. At the beginning of this year, when Wu Mengda was interviewed by the interview program "Thirteen Invitations", he also regretted that the once very tacit relationship has gradually drifted away. But Wu also said, "As long as I am not dead and he has not retired, he I will definitely work together again."
The accusations against him for his bad temper, disrespect for people, and "onset tyrant" are more from his almost strict and high requirements for his works. Even Stephen Chow himself said: "Some shots may be accepted by everyone if you NG once. If you NG a hundred times, you can see if anyone will be upset."
Cecilia Cheung said in an interview that he had been scolded fiercely by Stephen Chow. , But Zhou Xingchi on the side said in a weak voice, "But if I don't do a good job, she will scold me fiercely."
Zhou Xingchi invited Hong when he was filming "Kung Fu".Jin Bao was a martial arts instructor, but Sammo Hung left midway, claiming that he would never cooperate with Master Xing.
But on the other hand, director Li Ang, hero Jin Yong, and actor Zhang Yuqi showed great appreciation for Xing Ye.
Li Ang is even willing to be an actor for Stephen Chow. Jin Yong said that Stephen Chow’s films are well shot and he has a strong sense of protecting and respecting intellectual property rights. Zhang Yuqi said that Stephen Chow is a very serious director, professional actor, and comedy genius.
Zhou Xingchi, who has been denigrated by many people in the industry, is also very enthusiastic about social welfare.
5.12 After the Wenchuan earthquake, Zhou Xingchi made donations through Hong Kong charity organizations for the first time, but he did not want to disclose the amount of donations.
In addition, he has also actively filmed public welfare films for migrant children. For his own works, he has never been stingy with a penny of production funding.
Did you find out, the more successful Zhou Xingchi, the more people hacked him. After
arrived in "Shaolin Football", Zhou Xingchi has become the golden sign of the mainland box office, and anyone who invests can make a lot of money.
is also after "Shaolin Football", black Zhou Xingchi began to increase.
After filming "Shaolin Football", he and his co-worker Lin Xiaoming confronted Bo in court; filming "Kung Fu", and Sammo Hung had trouble with each other; the old club Xiang Tai publicly bombarded Stephen Chow on the Internet, Hong Kong movie tycoons Du Qifeng, Wang Jing, Li Xiuxian and others also stood up and said Zhou Xingchi was "poor, ungrateful, selfish and stingy". The intensified "week down movement" caused many artists under Xinghui to terminate their contracts and the team fell apart.
Chen Jia said: "Have you not seen the negative reports about Zhou Xingchi's temper tantrums are all on the scene? This is not because of bad character, but too serious about work!" What impressed you most was Huang Qiusheng's words of justice: You guys I always hear others say that he is not good. Have you ever heard him say that others are bad?
Others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through.
Faced with countless breaks and bad words, Zhou Xingchi did one thing: not to explain.
03
Compared with the prosperous film career, Stephen Chow's emotional life is hard to describe.
In his early years, he and Luo Huijuan talked about love affairs for three years, then went to hold hands with Zhu Yin, and rumored an affair with Karen Mok. In 2010, his girlfriend Yu Wenfeng, who had been in love for ten years, broke up with him.
Many years later, Bai Jingjing married her first love, Zixia also found her happiness, only Zhou Xingchi was left alone. Until now, Stephen Chow is still alone. In the
movie, he is laughing and joking, but in private he is very depressed.
is a comedic genius, but he looks so pessimistic about life-
treats marriage very sadly. When Chai Jing interviewed Zhou Xingchi and asked him when he would get married, he said in a desperate manner, "Look at me like this, is there any chance?"
Zhou Xingchi: Ten thousand years is indeed too long, so don't wait that long. There is something to do right away.
In "Journey to the West", he repeated "I love you for ten thousand years" from "Journey to the West" 18 years ago. Later, when he directed "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Stephen Chow followed the theme song "Life in the West". "Beloved", only added the sentence "From before to now, love is still there."
Chai Jing: Why use these words from many years ago?
Zhou Xingchi: Maybe I have an affection for these words.
Chai Jing: Can I understand that, I just want to say this sentence in my life at this time.
Zhou Xingchi was stunned: Do you feel this way? The boy
has grown old and understands his own mind back then. Using this song to express his feelings can be regarded as an account of himself and the past. Unfortunately, things are wrong.
Then, he said six words to Chai Jing: Thank you, thank you.
felt lonely at that moment, and there were too few people who could understand him.
is written at the end:
may have a sad face hidden under the mask of all the kings of comedy.
Maybe we can't understand Zhou Xingchi's loneliness and loneliness, let alone his life and choices, but we are always fortunate to have him in this era.
is the king of comedy in the minds of a generation;
is the supreme treasure, he is Yin Tianchou;
is Zhou Xingchi.
