In the 1990s, Stephen Chow began to rise in the film industry, and he was even more outstanding in the local box office in Hong Kong. However, in general, Star Master can only be ranked third at this time, because he is not small compared to Jackie Chan and Jet Li’s all-Asia market. gap.

The success of "Shaolin Football" in the Japanese and Korean markets eliminated the title of "Asia's third-rate" star for Xing Ye (which was blocked by Korean media at the time).
