Zhou Xingchi's movies have always been a typical example of the "undefeated myth." In the 1990s, Stephen Chow's comedy films were unique, and his humorous performances attracted many fans. Later, Hong Kong movies gradually declined, and Zhou Xingchi also began to be a director.
After Stephen Chow directed every movie is also a classic of word-of-mouth and box office double harvest. Back then, "Kung Fu" was not only a film success, every character was very successful. Thinking about it now, every character in the film has a deep memory. Gang boss, charter wife charter father, shampoo boy, dumb girl, fat guy, martial arts master, fire cloud evil god. After so long, I still remember the main characters in the film very clearly.
"Kung Fu" is the name of the movie, so the content is naturally inseparable from Kung Fu. To talk about martial arts masters, peerless martial arts. You must recall many of Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels. In his novels, there are a lot of peerless magic, and these kung fu also appear in "Kung Fu". Stephen Chow once gave Jin Yong 60,000 yuan for "Kung Fu", and Jin Yong was confused: What are you doing with the money. You may not know that there is still this story.
Recently, a "Kung Fu" staff member talked about an interesting fact about the movie "Kung Fu". He told everyone that in the movie "Kung Fu", one shot is worth 60,000 yuan, and you have not misheard a shot. Not the lens of the equipment, but a lens. This shot of
is a shot of a beggar buying martial arts secrets in the movie. The beggar holds many martial arts secrets in his hand, which clearly read: Dugu Nine Swords, One Yang Finger, Nine Yang Magic Technique, Jianglong Eighteen Palms, and so on. Everyone knows this is from Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
For Kung Fu, the names of Jin Yong's martial arts have become synonymous with peerless martial arts and a classic symbol of a generation of martial arts culture. So Zhou Xingchi contacted Mr. Jin Yong, who would pay 60,000 yuan in copyright fees! Jin Yong was still confused when he knew it, and thought: This movie is not an adaptation of my own novel. Where does the copyright fee come from? After Zhou Xingchi explained
, Jin Yong was very moved. You know, China's copyright awareness has always been very weak. Those who blatantly borrow the work of others have never known the word copyright. However, Stephen Chow is paying attention to copyright for such a small matter. I have to say, not only in the movie, but also a very good person.
After Zhou Xingchi paid the copyright fee to Jin Yong, Jin Yong immediately donated the 60,000 yuan. Although the 60,000 yuan is not a large sum for the production of a movie, it is also dispensable for Jin Yong. However, the respect and support for the original creator represented by the 60,000 yuan is the most important.
originally, even if Stephen Chow didn't mention it himself, no one would care about such a small detail. But as an original person, he pays great attention to these aspects. This is respect for others, but also a respect for one's own work. In this era of plagiarism, if there are more people like Zhou Xingchi, copyright will no longer be a problem that the original creators can't solve. China's original industry will also develop better.
