Hong Jinbao's chief disciple, Zou Zhaolong, is recognized as the strongest villain on the screen, but rejects Hollywood because of patriotism. As the chief disciple of Hong Jinbao, debuted for many years but has always been tepid, the Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li is very sympathetic to his talent, repeatedly promoted but always not hot, and finally with a villain role to fire all over the country, he is Zou Zhaolong, the Chang Wei who is obviously born with divine power and says that he does not know martial arts.
So the question is, obviously better than Zhen Zidan can still fight, why has he debuted for many years but has not been on fire? What is his kung fu like? Why dare to say that Zhen Zidan is not enough for him to fight? Why on earth did he refuse an invitation from Hollywood? Next, let's go into the front and back of Chang Wei Zou Zhaolong's stage to find out.
Zou Zhaolong's original name was Zou Longyun, and later his master Hong Jinbao changed his name to Ni Xing, and after leaving the Hong family class, he changed his name to Zou Zhaolong, but the problem is that whether it is Zou Zhaolong or Ni Xing, in fact, the audience does not know, even Zou Longyun does not know, the audience knows only the Chang Wei who called Laifu, Zou Zhaolong was born in Taiwan, because there were thirteen brothers and sisters in the family, and his father died not long after he was born, when their family was often bullied. So the young Zou Zhaolong understood one thing, only the fist is big to not be bullied, so he began to learn kung fu, next to his home is a martial arts gym, but he did not have money to learn kung fu, so the general situation is to hide outside the door to steal, and then the master of the martial arts hall found this stealing scholar, but after looking at his roots, he also tacitly accepted that he stole school, starting at the age of six, he followed the owner of the carving shop to work, but because the salary was too low, at the age of nine he changed his profession and began to learn to make bread in the bakery.
At the age of twelve, he was favored by a family of martial artists, and since then he has begun to linger on the major sets, and he himself has begun to learn taekwondo Muay Thai and many film fighting skills, it can be said that these have laid the most powerful foundation for his future development, one year Hong Jinbao went to Taiwan to shoot the movie "Full Rebound", as a result, he took a fancy to the eighteen-year-old Zou Zhaolong, with this movie Room Zou Zhaolong in the film industry for a while, but after this movie, he had to serve in the military, so this fire situation was instantly lost. After all, the entertainment industry is updated so quickly, after serving in the military, Zou Zhaolong officially joined the Hongjia class, was renamed Ni Xing by Hong Jinbao, and then officially began to step into the film world, and he was also Hong Jinbao as an open apprentice, it can be said that before the appearance of the beautiful boy Peng Yuyan, Zou Zhaolong was a collection of thousands of pets of the entire Hongjia class.
Every time he shoots a movie, he is basically the protagonist, but the result is a bit of a trick, no matter how to be the protagonist, Zou Zhaolong is not hot, soon after he was discovered by Wang Jing, which opened his villain career, but also began his love and killing with Jet Li for twenty years, the first encounter between them was in Wang Jing's movie "The Demon Sect Leader of the Dragon Slayer", Zou Zhaolong played Song Qingshu in it, but the aura of the other starring actors at that time was too bright, so that Zou Zhaolong was ignored by the audience.
However, he and Jet Li met in this way, who said that it was very comfortable to cooperate with Zou Zhaolong, feeling like a chess opponent, very enjoyable, and Zou Zhaolong also said that he was Jet Li's most tacit enemy, after all, from "Naked Son Weilong" to "No Two Detectives", they had cooperated for more than twenty years.
This is probably the entertainment industry from the villain and the decent love to kill it, in 1994 Chang Wei officially launched, he claimed not to be able to do martial arts, the result is that he was born with divine power, looks full of innocence, the result is the Qi family's thirteen members of the real murderer, this is probably the audience for Zou Zhaolong's most impressive role, and in "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", Zou Zhaolong played a brave and fierce villain Wang Jianjun, from a righteous and upright faction, to only one villain after another, Zou Zhaolong at this time knew that he was probably suitable for playing the villain, so he gave up the early route and began to take the villain route with a mind, whether it was in "The True Colors of the New Hero", or "Naked Son Weilong", or in "God of Gamblers III", Zou Zhaolong has always taken the villain route to the end, but among these villains, the highest light is probably Chang Wei, and later although Zou Zhaolong played a stable role, it was difficult to surpass this role.
In 1997, Hong Kong movies began to decline, the entire market is not very prosperous, action movies are even more difficult to have a breakthrough, Hong Jiaban also announced the dissolution in the process, and Zou Zhaolong also announced his departure at this time, he plans to go to the United States to study, he said that he has never read a book in his life, he feels that it is time to give himself a chance to learn, but in the millennium, Zou Zhaolong, who has just gone to the United States and has not calmed down to study, was joined by Yuan Heping to the crew of "The Matrix". In 2003, Zou Zhaolong was invited to star in "The Matrix II", in which he played a prophet protector, even if the other actors are all crooked nuts, but Chang Wei is also very good, and he is a Chinese actor in the entire "Matrix", and he is also the only villain professional to break into Hollywood, and this is probably the highlight of his debut.
It is said that even now, he has been paying dividends to the "Matrix" series, after all, he signed a permanent dividend, and even Zou Zhaolong jokingly said in an interview, as long as "The Matrix" is still making money, I have been collecting money, even if he S, his children will continue to collect, this is probably the benefit of permanent dividends, from entering the set as a martial artist at the age of twelve, to joining the Hong family class, and then through Chang Wei to the villain professional household, and then into Hollywood, Zou Zhaolong can say that his life is closely related to movies. But now the kung fu stars of Chinese movie action movies have gradually declined.
Although it is said that kung fu superstars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li are rare in a hundred years, but just like Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, without the gold medal green leaves, there may not be today's star masters, and the same is true for kung fu stars, although Jet Li and Jackie Chan are difficult to appear again, but villains like Zou Zhaolong are also difficult to find, what do you think about this screen? Do you think there will be the next Changwei in China? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below.
