Gu Dezhao once bluntly said that "the first impression of Zhou Xingchi is not very good, and even hates him very much." It is said that when the two first met, they had a rather unpleasant quarrel.
At that time, Gu Dezhao was a famous screenwriter, because he wanted to prepare for the film "Family Has a Happy Event", he and the director Gao Zhisen invited Zhou Xingchi to dinner and talk about the script.
After dinner, Zhou Xingchi pointed at Gu Dezhao and said, "Who is that, will the script be changed?" ”
Unexpectedly, this sentence made a big taboo, which made Gu Dezhao very annoyed, he thought that it was okay to change the script, but after eating together and introducing each other, they could not remember each other's names, which was simply too disrespectful.
In a fit of anger, Gu Dezhao called Gao Zhisen that night and said that he did not want to continue to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi.
Under the persuasion of his master Gao Zhisen, Gu Dezhao decided to take a step back and once again agreed on the script with Zhou Xingchi, but this time, the two talked happily, not only cooperated to reach an agreement, but also became friends.
Later, the two cooperated frequently, and in many of Stephen Chow's films, Gu Dezhao served as a live screenwriter.
Although the acquaintance is shallow, it seems to be over the years, today's small year takes you to understand the golden supporting role Gu Dezhao ~
When filming "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", Gu Dezhao set the role of "pairing the intestines" on the spot, limited to the tight time, and did not find a suitable actor candidate on the scene.
At this moment, Zhou Xingchi looked up and down at Gu Dezhao and found that this little fat man looked quite happy, so he asked him to personally go to the rescue scene. I didn't think that this role not only became the runway of his comedy career, but also became a classic laugh point.
Gu Dezhao's performance can be said to be quite outstanding, the lines, actions, and looks are all measured, especially the sentence "We both feel sorry for each other, can't help but feel sorry for each other", I don't know how many people Lei has fallen.
At that time, Gu Dezhao was originally a screenwriter under Gao Zhisen's company, and he made a cameo appearance in the company without knowing it, because the "intestinal wear" he played was very brilliant, and he was directly expelled after gao Zhisen found out.
Shunshi, Gu Dezhao joined Stephen Chow's company, while doing screenwriting, while making cameos, which also made his comedic talent fully displayed.
"Tang Niu" in "God Eater", captain of "Tofu King Kong Team" in "Shaolin Soccer", Jianghu Langzhong in "Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair"... All the characters he has created are well known to the public, and he can definitely be regarded as a representative of Hong Kong-style nonsense comedy.
Speaking of Gu Dezhao's excellence, he is good at using the lens to attract the attention of the audience, and he once said proudly, "Even Zhou Xingchi can't cut off my lens." ”
In "Yangtze River No. 7", a group of shots of Gu Dezhao has been plaguing Zhou Xingchi, but his appearance timing is very delicate, in Xu Jiao's crying scene, Zhou Xingchi can't cut it, so he has to keep that set of shots.
After the screenwriting talent and acting skills were fully affirmed, Gu Dezhao, who was vigorously praised as the golden supporting role of Hong Kong, regarded himself as a creator, wrote and acted well, acted and directed, and began to move towards the road of directing.
In 1997, the Asian financial storm swept through Hong Kong, all walks of life were hit hard, and the film and television industry was not spared, even the film giant Jiahe at that time, had no choice but to lose.
Gu Dezhao, who can be a director, is not willing to be mired in the mire, and uses 20 million Hong Kong dollars to make a final desperate fight to save the defeat.
To this end, he concentrated on studying the script, boldly tried the new sword and took the side, challenged the theme of feng shui, invited popular movie stars such as Liang Chaowei and Yang Qianwei, and completed the shooting of "Luck Superman".
During the publicity period, the film was named "Gu Dezhao" for the first time, focusing on the characteristics of lightness, funny, inspiration, etc., incorporating some positive energy lines that cheered for Hong Kong, and at the time of the economic depression, it pinned good hopes for Hong Kong and also made a good start for the people.
Among them, the five-element spell, inferring personality by appearance, and determining fate by personality, are full of logical dialectics, and these finishing touches are all from Gu Dezhao's hand, and it is not difficult to find his good intentions from the details.
Sure enough, this movie lived up to expectations, and under the hard work of Gu Dezhao, a very "material" script was created. After its release in 2003, the film won 24.96 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, ranking in the top four of the annual box office list.
Gu Dezhao also proved his talent as a director, and some people even compared him to Wang Jing, calling him two generations of "ghost directors" or "Professionals of Chinese New Year films" in the Hong Kong film industry.
But compared with Wang Jing, the highlight of Gu Dezhao is that he is more good at self-written and self-directed, in addition to the series of films cooperated with Zhou Xingchi, there are many high-quality dramas such as "Wonder Man", "Men Like Clothes", "Hundred Star Hotel" and so on.
In 2002, he won the Hong Kong Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Screenplay for his film "Buy Murder".
As the films written and directed by Gu Dezhao have become more and more popular, the number of big-name stars who have cooperated with him has also increased, and many superstars such as Gu Tianle, Zeng Zhiwei, Liang Chaowei, wu Junru and so on have become the "guests" in his films.
However, just when Gu Dezhao's career climbed to the peak, he chose to fade out of the film and television circle, and he could not be seen in front of and behind the scenes, and the most recent work was still stuck in 2018's "Undercover Superstar".
Starring Eason Chan, Lee Wing Ho and Lee Yi Tong, this movie was called the surprise New Year's eve film of the year, but it never expected it, but it was a word of mouth, and the rating was only a pitiful 3.8.
In this regard, many netizens have commented that perhaps Gu Dezhao and Zhou Xingchi are also exhausted.
In fact, Gu Dezhao left the audience's sight with another hidden feeling, although his career has ushered in a highlight moment, but his life is experiencing the darkest tribulations, mentally suffering a heavy blow...
Gu Dezhao once confessed that "at that stage, I was very sad, often hiding in the theater alone to watch a play, and I felt that I would not be happy anymore..."
In 2006, Gu Dezhao's 78-year-old mother and 20-year-old nephew jumped off a building in the same place to commit suicide because they could not bear the pain of illness. The loss of relatives one after another made him grief-stricken, depressed and even depressed.
At that time, there were rumors that due to this family change, Gu Dezhao suddenly lost 50 pounds from 200 pounds of "fat valley".
The outside world has speculated that it may be this reason that makes it difficult for Gu Dezhao to enter the creative state, lose the inspiration for comedy films, and many fans are worried about his health.
In this regard, Gu Dezhao clarified, denied the theory of illness, and said that the sudden loss of weight was caused by weight loss, but only according to the dietitian's instructions, and there was no other reason.
Last year, Gu Dezhao, who had not appeared for a long time, went to the radio station as a substitute host and posted a photo with his friends. In the photo, he is emaciated, and although he wears black-rimmed glasses and a large mask, it is difficult to hide his old age and haggardness.
In addition, there are media reports that Gu Dezhao's girlfriend Lin Zixuan is suspected of suffering from thyroid disease, neck swelling is obvious, and eczema is troubled.
From the photos posted on her social platform, it can be seen that the body is full of red marks, the condition is more serious, and she has tried to treat it through various methods, but the effect is not good.
In the end, she insisted on exercising, so that her immunity improved and her body recovered quite well.
Moreover, Gu Dezhao often accompanies her to the beach to bask in the sun, which is more conducive to the recovery of the disease.
Speaking of Lin Zixuan, she has multiple identities such as actor, model, singer, lyricist, etc., and has participated in the RTHK TV series "Summer Vacation Before Y2Y", the TVB series "One House, Two Families, Three Surnames" and so on.
It is worth mentioning that she also participated in the musical drama "Rhapsody of Midsummer Night" by Xu Guanjie, the "God of Song", and was invited to sing on the same stage.
But no matter how tossed, it was not red, so she decided to quit the entertainment industry and turned to a children's yoga teacher.
Although her career is not very smooth, her relationship with Gu Dezhao is very stable, and the two have been in love for about 18 years and have been very low-key.
In fact, as early as Lin Zixuan participated in Xu Guanjie's musical, their love affair was exposed by the media, but the two vigorously denied it, and always refused to disclose the couple's relationship to the public.
Some netizens broke the news that they had witnessed the two quarreling, but it did not take long to reconcile quickly.
Nowadays, both have withdrawn from the acting "jianghu", and for 18 years, they have walked hand in hand through the wind and rain, supported each other and relied on each other, and their feelings for each other are still enjoyable.
After the great changes, Gu Dezhao has a new understanding of life, he admitted in the interview, "Don't bother with things you can't control, it's useless to think, it will only be unnecessary." ”
He also said that during the epidemic, he was still writing scripts, but due to limited ability, he could not catch up with real-time changes, and it was difficult to create a classic.
Xiao Nian believes that no matter whether Gu Dezhao can produce another masterpiece, the classic scripts he has created, the classic films he has directed, and the classic roles he has shaped have all been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and turned into the eternity in the hearts of a generation...
