Regarding film and television martial arts stars, how many people do you know, Jackie Chan, Zhen Zidan, Jet Li must be well-known kung fu superstars, and before them there was bruce Lee. Martial arts superstars have always been in the entertainment industry with strength, because they have to rely on their own kung fu. I don't know how many people still remember the "coolie" Shi Xingyu in Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" that year.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > entered the Shaolin Temple to learn Kung Fu in pursuit of his dreams</h1>
Shi Xingyu was born in Shandong, his father and brother are both people's policemen, and his family has no background. However, he has had a kung fu dream since he was a child, and his dream originated from a movie, when he was 12 years old, he watched the movie "Shaolin Temple" and was deeply attracted by jet Li, the kung fu boy in it, so he resolutely decided to come to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan province alone to learn martial arts. He was only 12 years old at the time, and he really had a lot of courage to leave home at a young age.
However, he was rejected by the Shaolin Temple because he was older than the age of the apprentice. There was no way, he stayed in the martial arts school under the mountain for half a year, and later he found some ways, because he had a classmate's brother, who happened to be in the Shaolin Temple, so he was able to enter the Shaolin Temple to study.
At that time, he directly worshiped the chief instructor of the martial monks to study for the master, xingyu was the master's Fa number, his Fa number was very high in the Shaolin Temple at that time, and the subsequent Shi Xiaolong should call him a master. He studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple for 11 years, during which time he performed kung fu performances and international exchanges on behalf of China on behalf of China in various countries such as Europe and the United States.
But he's also been looking for an opportunity to stand on a higher stage like Jet Li as a film and television superstar. Although when he performed abroad, there were also some videos circulating on the Internet, which gave him a little popularity in the martial arts circle, but this achievement was far from enough for him. Fortunately, his opportunity came immediately, and in 2003, Shi Xingyu received a phone call that changed his fate.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > appeared in "Kung Fu"</h1>
At that time, a friend called him and said that Stephen Chow was preparing to make a movie, and at this time he was going to audition for an actor, and he needed to find an actor who could do kung fu. Friends think that Shi Xingyu is practicing kung fu and wants him to try, so Shi Xingyu came to Zhou Xingchi's audition site. At that time, Zhou Xingchi had auditioned for many actors for this role, and the works he directed were generally more rigorous, and the people were more strict, if he did not find the right actor, he would always look for it, and it just so happened that Shi Xingyu came at this time.
He auditioned for half of the board by Zhou Xingchi directly decided, the reason is that there is no him, is that his play is too clean and clean, not only one person killed three people, but even at the audition scene is directly spitting white foam. And Zhou Xingchi, who has an in-depth study of martial arts dramas, saw his flowing movements and suddenly came to interest, to compete with him, did not expect that Shi Xingyu, who was good at leg skills, swept his legs past, and Zhou Xingchi was directly killed.
However, Zhou Xingchi did not care, in his heart Shi Xingyu is already the ideal actor of "coolie", he began to guide Shi Xingyu how to shoot the scene well, which requires the cooperation of the actor and the camera. Under the continuous trial and effort, this has led to the martial arts shot of "coolie" in "Kung Fu" for more than a minute, which makes the audience also directly addicted.
Through the film "Kung Fu", Shi Xingyu is well known to many people, and Xingye's film has only been made once in many years, but a play must be a fine product. Zhou Xingchi also saw the shining point on Shi Xingyu's body, and then took the contract to sign with him, and Shi Xingyu was relatively crisp and clean, and directly signed the letter, and even did not read the content of the contract. This made Xingye feel very surprised, and then in the media interview, Shi Xingyu responded to this matter, because when he first entered the entertainment industry, he was not famous, everyone was dismissive of him, and every meal was a cold meal.
Until one day, Zhou Xingchi saw his situation and directly told everyone that he would eat with us in the future, which made Shi Xingyu's status in the crew rise, and the staff also began to change him. Therefore, Shi Xingyu had great respect for Zhou Xingchi, so he would willingly follow him.
However, because Stephen Chow pays attention to slow work and detailed work in movies, sometimes a shot needs to be filmed hundreds of times, and many of his artists can't stand to cancel their contracts. But Shi Xingyu followed him until many years later, when Zhou Xingchi took the initiative to talk to him, saying that because he had made very few films, and he was a rare and valuable martial arts star, he was afraid of affecting his development, so he let him go outside to take over the scene.
Shi Xingyu agreed, but he also told Zhou Xingchi that if there was a need for him in the future, he would come as soon as possible. In 2007, Shi Xingyu and Zhen Zidan collaborated on a movie in which he played a villain, and there was a scene in which Zhen Zidan hit him with his fist, and he wanted to make a direct fall to the ground. But because of Weah's role, he directly finished filming the scene and his eardrums were pierced. Later, he was interviewed and talked about this past, and he also had some palpitations.
This also allows many people to see the responsible side of him, but to say that he and Zhen Zidan who is more powerful, he also answered this question directly in the interview, and he is very confident that Zhen Ziran is not his opponent at all. In 11 years, he returned to the Shaolin Temple, because there was a new Shaolin Temple movie to shoot at that time, but because his generation was too high, the Shaolin Temple did not allow him to participate at that time, so he had to lower his generation by two levels, changed to Shi Yanneng, and later he changed his name to Shi Yanneng.
This operation shocked many people, but this movie did not let him waste his efforts, not only the box office can be, but also let him get acquainted with many connections, such as Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and other film and television superstars. During the filming, Andy Lau also personally asked him for kung fu lessons, and even wanted to worship him as a teacher, but shi Xingyu refused, because he felt that he was not yet at the level of a teacher. Despite this, Andy Lau still called him one by one on the set, and he was willing to teach Andy Lau Kung Fu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > has been a supporting role for many years, and there is still no fire</h1>
However, although he has filmed many works, he has always played a supporting role, and his second cooperation with Zhou Xingchi was in the movie "Journey to the West to Descend the Devil", in which he played the Big Dipper Five Elements Fist, which also attracted the attention of the audience.
In fact, he also acted in films with him as the protagonist, in 13 years he shot the movie "King Kong", although in this movie he showed his martial arts, but also let the audience watch very enjoyable, but the plot in many places is a bit delayed, plus this film did not invite too many big stars, so the popularity is not high, so the box office is not ideal. After that, he also starred in other works, but still starred as a supporting role.
Throughout his martial arts history for so many years, some people say that he is the fourth generation of martial arts stars after Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. However, perhaps he may lack an opportunity, a springboard that can make him a real martial arts superstar and step into the public eye. In his body, there is no lack of dedication and hard work on kung fu, he also has his own pursuit, but the realization of the dream will not be smooth, I hope that he can find his own position in the future, and find the opportunity to shine as soon as possible.
