"Billy's punches and kicks are the most powerful."
Qian Jiale said without hesitation in front of the camera.
Not only qian jiale admired Billy Chow, but Chow also liked his kung fu very much:
"You give me your punching tape to see, I'll ask you to shoot the scene, you don't give me a new tape to see, the next one I won't look for you." 」
Zhou Billy's fist and foot kung fu is very strong, almost everyone knows.
But many people do not know that When Zhou Billy was young, he was weak and was a "sick seedling" without compromise.
Before Billy Chou was born, he was judged by the doctors to live for a long time.
At that time, Billy Chou's parents settled in Canada, traveled from country to country to do business, lived and rested very irregularly, and had a lower physical quality than ordinary people.
After Zhou Billy was born, he has been suffering from serious illnesses and pains.
His parents felt sorry for him, and all kinds of precious nourishments were sent into his room, but there was no improvement until a knowledgeable person came to his house.
After carefully examining his body, the man said that this method of nourishing the body was wrong, and it should be mainly exercise, supplemented by skin care products.
Therefore, when Zhou Billy was 11 years old, he embarked on the road of learning martial arts.
After trying numerous martial arts genres, he fell in love with boxing.
The master in charge of teaching him in the boxing gym initially looked at his thin chicken-like figure and was not hopeful, thinking that at most one day and one day, he would not be able to stand this high-intensity training and run away.
However, in the face of Master's "dismounting power", Zhou Billy trembled and gritted his teeth again.
After that, the master found that Zhou Billy had a tenacity in him and began to teach him seriously.
A few years passed, and Billy Chow also went from a thin child to a strong teenager, not only rarely getting sick, but also beating up all the students in the boxing gym.
After becoming a "boxing gym master", Billy Chow still wanted to go further, and he thought that he could combine traditional Chinese martial arts with boxing, so that he would become stronger.
Zhou Billy was young and vigorous, and found Li Peng, a well-known martial artist who opened a martial arts hall, and wanted to worship him as a teacher.
But learning martial arts has requirements for mentality, martial arts pay attention to peace and modesty, and at that time, Zhou Billy was not at all close to these four words.
Seeing such a Zhou Billy, Li Peng shook his head and did not promise him.
But Li Peng did not refuse with a full mouth, leaving him with a glimmer of opportunity:
If Billy Chow wins the latest boxing match, he can become his apprentice.
Billy Chow thought about it, the last game was a month later, he had enough time to prepare, and he was full of words.
Old Liang told Billy Chow funny stories
The timeline was drawn closer to the pre-match, and when Billy Zhou saw that the playing field was small and shabby, he turned back to Li Peng and said:
This land is also too small, right? How about punching.
Li Peng waved his hand and said:
"You can not fight, if you want to fight, you can be down-to-earth, and when you get on this stage, you must be brave and go forward."
Old Liang tells stories
Billy Chow stopped talking and took a breath and went on the court.
But he was beaten up on the field, which made him see that "there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains."
Later, the opponent accidentally revealed a mistake, he grasped the mistake point and did not let go, and won with a single blow.
After that, he put away his contempt for his opponent and tried his best to win the game.
After becoming Li Peng's apprentice, Zhou Billy retracted his pride and began to learn martial arts from his master step by step.
Since then, he has blended martial arts with boxing and found the path that suits him best.
At the age of 19, he began to participate in various fighting competitions around the world, and he participated in 51 matches, 43 wins, 8 losses.
Of those 51 games, he knocked his opponent KO to the ground.
Of the 8 games he lost, 4 times he lost because he crossed the level to challenge big heavyweight opponents and did not have enough points.
In 1981, he first came to Hong Kong to participate in free fighting competitions, and after the First World War, he quickly became famous, causing a "heat wave" of free fighting in Hong Kong.
At the age of 24, Billy Chow won the Canadian Lightweight Free Fighting Championship for the first time.
Two years later, Billy Chow ascended to the throne of the world championship, and he became the world's weweight free fighting champion with the golden belt of the boxer.
At that time, the young and crazy but no achievements of the young man, after becoming the world champion, but gentle and humble.
It is difficult for such a person to be undisspected.
Billy Chow often tutored teenagers from poor families but had a heart for martial arts, and often took them out to improve their food.
Over time, Chow Billy became famous and was popular with people who were willing to make friends with him.
In 1985, Hong Jinbao went to Canada to prepare for the filming of the movie "The Bride of the Crossing Port", but the actors had not yet gathered, and planned to find actors with martial arts skills in the local area.
At this time, someone recommended Billy Zhou to Hong Jinbao:
"This person is particularly capable of fighting, real kung fu, just haven't acted."
Among the many brothers that Hong Jinbao praised, many of them had real kung fu but had never acted, but their acting skills were very good under his guidance, so he did not care whether Zhou Billy would act or not.
When he saw Billy Chow, Hong Jinbao saw his strength and liked him very much:
"If you're interested, you can try it."
In this way, "The Bride of the Port" became Billy Chow's screen debut.
Since then, he has been featured in films such as "Oriental Condor", "Flying Dragon Fierce General", "Flying Tiger Cavalry", "The Last Big Guy in jianghu", "Gambler II", "King of Destruction" and so on.
He has made nearly a hundred movies, and he is not afraid of acting, but he is afraid of losing his hand and hurting people.
Because they are afraid of hurting people, every punch they throw must be counted as strength, and they must be within their tolerance. Sometimes fight with the director, more to pay attention to, he is the boss, can not be injured, injured will affect the shooting progress.
Billy Chow is a professional fighter who has won the world boxing king, with a height of 181cm, a weight of 90KG, a tall horse and a body of tendon meat.
Every time he shoots a scene, he must carefully collect his strength, avoid the key points of the other party's human body, and strive to fight with the actors with "great momentum and small rainfall".
During the filming of the famous work "Jingwu Hero", Zhou Billy had an accident due to a momentary mistake.
The pinnacle battle between Zhou Billy and Jet Li in "Jingwu Hero" made the audience feast their eyes, but it made Jet Li lie in the hospital.
Because Jet Li has a kung fu background, Zhou Billy is no longer so restrained and lets go of his hands and feet to fight with him on the set.
But after a hand-to-hand fight, Jet Li's arm was dislocated, and he was taken to the hospital at that time, resting for two days before returning to the set.
Billy Chow regretted it very much, and for nearly a month, jet Li and Jet Li have been studying how to shoot that battle well, how to have a more visual impact effect without hurting people.
After the shooting, many actors left, but Billy Zhou did not move, still sitting there.
"He sat there motionless, was he injured by Jet Li?"
Yuan Heping asked the director next to him.
As soon as the director saw it, he immediately ran to ask:
"Why don't you sit here and don't go?"
Ah, I'm afraid I'll need to make up something for a while, so I sit and wait to see.
The director waved his hand and said there was no need to make up for it, so let him hurry back.
As a result, Billy Chow stood up and shook, and the director became alert and asked him if he was injured.
Billy Chou rolled his trousers up, a leg of blood.
"It's really not hit by Jet Li, he has a scene where he splits his legs, splits the wall, splits wood, and chops a leg of blood."
Old Liang sighed.
Under the repeated assurances of the director, he obediently went to the hospital.
In addition to injuring Jet Li, he also injured actress Yang Lijing.
During the filming of "The Great General", Yang Lijing heard that Zhou Billy's fist and foot kung fu was excellent, so she was worried about hurting herself and suggested misplaced kicks.
But "punches and kicks are not long eyes", the distance between the two was calculated incorrectly, and Zhou Billy's "three consecutive kicks to kill" hit Yang Lijing's chest, and Yang Lijing was directly unconscious on the spot.
After waking up from bed, Yang Lijing once again threw herself into the set to shoot, even if Zhou Billy apologized to her many times, Yang Lijing also had palpitations and did not dare to be close to him again.
After filming this scene, she suspended all her acting work and recuperated at home.
During this period, Zhou Billy sincerely visited her, and under his "do not stop until the purpose is reached", Yang Lijing finally had no mustard for him, and the two later became good friends.
In addition, before Zhou Billy and Wu Jing filmed "Oolong Boy Breaks into Love", he learned that Wu Jing had kung fu, so he let go of the fight slightly, and as a result, Wu Jing was kicked by Zhou Billy.
Note that it's really a kick in the face.
Later, Wu Jing said in an interview that it was a natural phenomenon to be kicked and flying, and he was strong and strong on that leg.
"He weighs 90 kilograms, my weight is 60 kilograms, which is not in a heavyweight class, it is normal to fly, and the second is that his legs are very heavy."
In film and television works, Billy Chou is mostly a villain who is full of evil, and looks fierce and kung fu.
But in real life, Billy Chou can be said to be a "kind" boss.
Billy Chow was born in 1958, at the age of 63, but he didn't look like an old man at all, which was related to his perennial physical exercise.
When he was young, he exercised at least 8 hours a day and raised a barbell between scenes.
In his old age, he continued to exercise every day, kindly and gently instructing his apprentices in the boxing gym he opened at home, and participating in boxing competitions from time to time.
He is tall and tough, but in fact he likes to take his wife everywhere, and the two are often met by netizens in various restaurants.
In addition to their age, they look very young, and they are no different from ordinary people's old husbands and wives in getting along, and Zhou Billy will still be scolded by his wife with his ears.
This is the life that Billy Chow wants, with a boxing gym, a wife, and full of fireworks in the world.
