Mention Zhou Xingchi, I believe that everyone is already very familiar with his works such as "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", "Journey to the West", "The King of Comedy" and so on. However, his earliest work" "Thunderbolt Pioneer" is rarely understood, this film is not only his first starring role, but also helped him win the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Stephen Chow played a rogue asshole in "Thunderbolt Pioneer" and a gangster car thief (Wei Zai). The character is both likable and imbued with some tragic emotions. Although he is a jerk, he has a conscience and upholds justice. He is also good and evil, not black and white, looking up to the gangsters, but in order to survive, he does a lot of forced things.
In this movie, Xingye officially debuted on the big screen as the male number two, although there were not many scenes, but at that time, because of the dragon set that ran for too long, whether it was lines or action expressions, he was very mature, very in line with the psychological environment of the characters.
At that time, filming was very hard, playing small roles was inevitable to be beaten, and Zhou Xingchi did not use a stand-in for each play part, and the real interpretation of fist to flesh was played. Zhou Xingchi's dedication was cultivated in this environment. Years of experience have made Zhou Xingchi steady and steady, and also paved a very perfect foundation for the road to success later, regardless of supporting roles or protagonists, every character is "shining" through his interpretation.
In the early years, Zhou Xingchi has been running dragon sets, and there is no role that can be remembered, until he meets the first noble man in his life, Li Xiuxian, and only then begins a smooth star path.
Li Xiuxian can indeed be regarded as Zhou Xingchi's Bole, and "Thunderbolt Pioneer" is also the work of the two. Chow's initial contract was signed to Lee Xiu-hyun's Universal Film Company, when Chow Was still a star boy and the film remuneration was not high. But the subsequent "Gamble Saint" made Stephen Chow famous, and his nonsensical performance bombardment did not play cards according to common sense, completely subverting the market for comedy films.
Chow Xingchi became popular, and all the big film companies in Hong Kong wanted to sign him, but Chow Xingchi always refused to nod his head, because he had not forgotten Lee Xiu-hyun's kindness.
At that time, Zhou Xingchi's output was amazing, the box office was even more amazing, although he opened his own company as the boss, but he also always thanked Li Xiuxian: "If there was no Li Xiuxian, I think I probably wouldn't have made a movie, he was the first to find me." ”
Many friends like to watch classic old films, especially Hong Kong films, which condense the unique style of Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s. However, old films also have no small problems, such as the sound and picture quality are not clear enough, which affects the experience when watching. Will you go to see this remastered old film?
