To say that the most famous fat man in the Hong Kong performing arts industry in addition to Hong Jinbao, I think it should be the "fat cat" Zheng Zeshi, today to introduce Zheng Zeshi in the show business ups and downs of the decades.
Zheng Zeshi always had the dream of stardom in his youth, so in 1972 he participated in the first actor training class held by Longbow Pictures, and in the following years, he began a career of running dragon sets in various series.
In 1976, when a performance competition was held on TVB, Zheng Zeshi won the first championship by virtue of his superb performance, and Wireless signed a one-year contract with Zheng Zeshi, and since then he has truly embarked on the road of acting.
In the second year of entering the industry, he starred in his first TVB drama work "Four Eyes Detective" and won the recognition of the film industry, and in 1986, Zheng Zeshi won the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards with a self-written, self-directed and self-acting feature film "Why Should There Be Me" to suppress Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan and other big names.
Zheng Zeshi, who has gained fame and fortune, moved into a mansion of hundreds of square meters with his family, and the road to acting is still going all the way up. "Lame Howe" made him once again nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and has since become a big hit in the Hong Kong performing arts industry.
In 1993, Zheng Zeshi saw that a big film company was very profitable, so he and his friends founded a film and television company, and the first film he produced, "The Legend of the Hero After the Disaster of 1949", suffered a box office fiasco, which also became the most important turning point in Zheng Zeshi's life.
The company has a shortage of funds, partners have withdrawn, friends have also run away, the film and television company lost 200 million yuan, Zheng Zeshi personal debt of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, so that his career suddenly fell to a low.
At that time, Zhang Weijian was an artist who signed in with Zheng Zeshi, and the two people usually called each other friends. After filming "The Legend of the Hero After the Disaster of 1949", Zheng Zeshi Company owed Zhang Weijian millions of dollars in remuneration. When Zhang Weijian did not care about his brother's death, a lawyer's letter sued Zheng Zeshi in court, demanding that the remuneration be returned to him.
The anxious Zheng Zeshi could only raise money everywhere, but fortunately, at this time, his friend and his nobleman Andy Lau appeared to lend a helping hand to him, matching him with a bridge to introduce the work and solving his urgent needs.
In the most difficult time for Zheng Zeshi, Andy Lau helped him, asked him to be a producer, and took him to make films to let him have more job opportunities, in his life, the most grateful is Andy Lau, he said, Andy Lau is my brother.
Zheng Zeshi has seen all the cold and warm of life in the entertainment industry, he said: He is a person who believes in fate, not all efforts will be successful, so you just have to do it, and the rest is left to Providence.
