Zhou Runfa must be very familiar to everyone! He is Xu Wenqiang of "Shanghai Beach", the little brother of "The True Colors of Heroes", Ah Zheng of "Prison Storm", Gao Jin of "God of Gamblers", Ah Hai of "Across the Seas", Li Mubai of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and possibly a painter in "Peerless"! It's our hair brother! Too many classic roles that cannot be surpassed have made him an idol for everyone! But no one's road to success is smooth sailing, and how can it be successful without experiencing setbacks! Fa Ge is no exception! Let's take a look at Fa Ge's road to fame!
On May 18, 1955, a little boy was born in a small mountain village on Lamma Island in Hong Kong, and soon after the boy was born, his father invited a fortune teller to tell the child's fortune, and when the gentleman saw the little boy who had just been born, he exclaimed, "This son is a blessed man with slender legs, and he must be a man who has broken into the world and become a great instrument." ”
His father asked mr. Zhou to help with a name, and he said, "Born in leap March, it is better to call him Zhou Yanfa." But Mr. Zhou Calculated the lack of water in the five elements for Zhou Yanfa, so he added a three-point water to Zhou Runfa in the leap word. At that time, no one would be popular all over the world many years later.
His father, Zhou Rongyun, was a seaman who went out to sea to fish, and he drifted on the sea all year round, and Zhou Runfa's mother grew vegetables and raised chickens, and often went to other people's homes to help as a maid. Due to the hardships of life, Zhou Runfa helped his mother to do odd jobs to supplement the family from childhood. When he was a child, his father lost his monthly salary because of good gambling, because his father's salary was lost, and when he paid his salary, his mother could only go to his father's company to get back a barrel of oil, so Zhou Runfa hated gambling from an early age.
In 1965, when Chow Yun-fat was 10 years old, because of the difficulties in family life, her mother took her children to live in her grandmother's house in Kowloon, and her mother went to work as a worker to support the family. Zhou Runfa in his childhood life was very hard, reading primary school to help his mother work every day, summer vacation to work in the electronics factory, only 10 years old to taste the hardships of life, and then Zhou Runfa recalled that "ten years old on the electronics factory to work, every day excessive use of eyes led to serious myopia, but each summer can earn two hundred yuan, life is still very good." When Zhou Runfa was in the third grade of middle school, his father was overworked and sick, and he could no longer afford to continue his schooling at home, so he stepped into society prematurely and looked for a job. Before engaging in acting work, Zhou Runfa has been living at the bottom of society, and only his occupations include commercial bank waiters, electronics factory child laborers, hotel waiters, postmen, photographic equipment salesmen, dishwashers, car washers, etc.
One day, a luxurious Rolls-Royce sedan stopped in front of the hotel, and a rich businessman with a big belly and a poop came down, and the rich businessman ordered: "Wash the car." Zhou Runfa had never seen such a beautiful car, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he agreed very happily. He washed and touched this and that as if he had seen a baby. After the cleaning was completed, the whole car was dazzling, which made Zhou Runfa even more amazed. The crystal clear steering wheel seemed to have a powerful allure, making Zhou Runfa's hands begin to itch.
After hesitating for a while, his hand finally reached for the car door. The car door just opened, people had not yet sat in, behind him suddenly sounded a thunder: "What?" Zhou Runfa was shocked, retracted his hands, looked back, only to see that the foreman was glaring at him, he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body. Before he could fully return to his senses, the foreman was full of gloom, his eyes widened, and he angrily exclaimed, "A person like you can't afford to sit on a Rolls-Royce in your lifetime!" This is undoubtedly quite a blow to Zhou Runfa, but at the same time it motivates him to be self-motivated, and he secretly swears: I must have a Rolls-Royce in this life! He not only had to get into the Rolls-Royce himself, but he also had his mother get in the car.
However, he did not expect anything worse, and a few days later, Zhou Runfa tasted unemployment for the first time. Since the sister's school organized an outing, it cost ten yuan, and the money was not enough. He thought of his sister Chuchu's touching eyes full of expectations, and decided that he must help his sister to collect enough money. Zhou Runfa silently calculated that he still had a few yuan, but he was eating breakfast, at most he could save two or three yuan from between his teeth, and it seemed that he had to hope for a tip.
As soon as my sister left, a car stopped at the door. A blonde woman walked down from the car. When Zhou Runfa saw it, he smiled and greeted him. The woman pointed to the luggage behind the car and spoke very soft English, and although Zhou Runfa did not know what she was talking about, she understood what she meant and sent her into the room where she was staying. It may be that Zhou Runfa's smiling attitude infected the other party, and the woman naturally expressed her gratitude with $1. Zhou Runfa looked around, did not see anyone else, and quickly took the money and stuffed it into his pocket. While he was congratulating himself and his sister, unexpectedly, the foreman suddenly appeared in front of him. Because of the resolute attitude of the foreman, Fa Ge lost his job for the first time. However, this did not bring down Zhou Runfa, and Zhou Runfa continued to look for a job, of course, but also a migrant worker.
One day in 1973, his classmates came to him and said that they had signed up for an infinite deduction training course and that the money had been given. He himself was a little resistant because he didn't have any experience in this area, but he heard from his classmates that he could make a lot of money if he became famous. Fa Ge still went. However, after graduating from the training class, his acting work did not go smoothly and played dispensable roles, and the money earned was not enough to supplement the family.
In 1974, Zhou Runfa was admitted to the third artist training class of TVB, and there were two ways for TVB to create stars, one was the "Hong Kong Sister" beauty contest, and the other was to hold an artist training class. The most successful example of the former is Maggie Cheung, the latter is a film and television star, some are famous directors and producers, like Chow Yun-fat who has starred in the series "Frenzy", "Struggle", "Man in the Net", "Shanghai Beach", "A Thousand Kings Heroes", "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu", "Su Qi'er", and "Family Affection".
His first performance of "Living in a Shared House" must be remembered by no one, even the first "Jianghu Boy" as the protagonist, did not stir up a wave.
But, gold always shines.
Before becoming famous, Fa Ge only starred in supporting roles, running the dragon set.
But the superstar, who was called by Time Magazine to have taken the charm of Oriental men to the extreme, was not discouraged!!
So Fa Ge thought of a way. In order to attract the attention of wireless high-rises, they often dress up in suits and guard the crowded elevator entrance, pretending to wait for the elevator. When he saw people, he wasted no time in greeting. Also helped to press the elevator, a persistence is two years. The handsome young man with a height of 183 finally attracted the attention of the wireless executives and left a good impression on the production staff, so some people began to ask who this young man was. It also leaves an opportunity for xu Wenqiang to play the role of Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Beach" in the future.
After shooting a promotional video at a time and not finding the right person, someone thought of Zhou Runfa. Horseback riding was required during the shoot, and there was no experience riding at one o'clock on Monday, resulting in a fall. Zhou Runfa knows that the opportunity is not easy to come by, and he must seize this opportunity. Zhou endured the pain and insisted on finishing this promotional film. It is also this week's hard work and dedication that has been recognized by unlimited high-level executives.
When Zhou Runfa was still running the dragon set, Zheng Shaoqiu was already a famous big star. At that time, TVB tailored a new drama "Shanghai Beach" for Zheng Shaoqiu, and Xu Shaoqiu will play the role of Xu Wenqiang. However, it is a pity that after filming "Chu Liuxiang", Zheng Shaoqiu's health has not been good. It is necessary to meditate and cultivate, and the crew can no longer wait, so they can only find another actor to replace it.
At that time, Zheng Shaoqiu recommended Zhou Runfa, and the top management inquired that it was a handsome guy who pressed the elevator before, and agreed! Opportunities are still for those who are prepared! And Zhou Runfa also lived up to expectations and played Xu Wenqiang deeply in the hearts of the people. Maybe that's providence! Because of this matter, Zhou Runfa has always been grateful to Zheng Shaoqiu, and the two are also very good friends in life. If Zheng Shaoqiu hadn't missed "Shanghai Beach" due to illness, maybe there would have been no Zhou Runfa today.
"Shanghai Beach" became a hit after the broadcast, and Xu Wenqiang, played by Zhou Runfa, also quickly became popular overnight, and when the finale of "Shanghai Beach" was broadcast, everyone was watching TV at home, resulting in thousands of empty streets. Let people completely brand the classic mark of the Fa Ge version of Xu Wenqiang in their memories.
In 1980, TVB aired a 25-episode TV series "Shanghai Beach", which ranked first in the "Top Ten TV Series of the 1980s" held by TVB in Hong Kong, in which Chow Yun-fat played the contradictory, hesitant and cold Hui Wenqiang.
In 1981, the film "The Story of Hu Yue", directed by Hong Kong New Wave director Hui Anhua, won the best film nomination and won the best screenplay award at the first Academy Awards, and Chow Yun Fat also began to attract the attention of the film industry.
In 1984, Chow Yun-fat played the role of Ye Jianfei in academic director Liang Puzhi's "Waiting for dawn", which won the Best Actor Award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival and the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, and was twice nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for this role and the 1985 starring role in "Woman's Heart".
In 1986, in the early stages of Hong Kong cinema's beginning to climax, Wu Yusen and Chow Yun Fat met.
In Wu Yusen's almost bizarre camera rotation, Zhou Runfa brought a permanent "little horse brother" to Hong Kong films through his almost innate acting skills, leaving an unforgettable "Hero's True Colors" for the audience. If "The True Colors of Heroes" opened the screen legend of Zhou Runfa, then the next "Dragon and Tiger Storm", "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Good Man of the Rivers and Lakes", "Blood Double Male", "Prison Storm", "Across the Sea", "A Lang's Story", "God of Gamblers" series, "Hot Hand Detective" and other works opened the film era belonging to Zhou Runfa.
In the film "The True Colors of Heroes" directed by Wu Yusen, he played Brother Mark (Little Ma Ge), which broke the box office record of Hong Kong films and created a film trend of gangster hero films, and Xiao Ma Ge also became an idol for movie fans. Chow Yun-fat also won the first Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor. However, in fact, Zhou Runfa was not the first person selected by the production company to play "Little Brother Ma". It was because the previous male stars refused to find him, and in order to star in "The True Colors of Heroes", Zhou Runfa also discounted his own film remuneration several times, far less than his other films.
The production company found Zheng Haonan, who was still a newcomer at the time. Even the name Ofe Ma comes from Zheng Haonan's English name Mark, when the production company directly named the character Brother Mark, which evolved into the later Little Ma Brother. However, I did not expect that even Zheng Haonan did not have a schedule at that time, and there was no way to take over this role.
In the end, the production company decided to negotiate with Zhou Runfa, because at that time, Xiao Ma Ge was only a supporting role in the script, and the role was very small, so the remuneration for Zhou Runfa was relatively small.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Runfa performed very eye-catching and prominent as soon as he started shooting, and director Wu Yusen also increased his role more and more. Zhou Runfa is also very knowledgeable, directly with the director said, "Don't worry about the number of shooting days with me, I will take so much money, how many more days you shoot is fine." So the director was relieved to add drama to him, and eventually the role of Little Ma Ge changed from a supporting actor to a third male protagonist.
In the end, the fire of "The True Colors of Heroes" also finally made Zhou Runfa stand out and become a generation of superstars.
In 1987, he won the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards Film Emperor Trophy with his film "Autumn Fairy Tale", which won the Best Film Award at the Academy Awards and ranked fifth at the annual box office.

Some people say that Zhou Runfa was born to act, and many of his film and television works, such as "The True Colors of Heroes" and "God of Gamblers", have left a deep impression on the audience, and no one has been able to surpass them so far. When he was developing a big hit, he was put on the hat of ruthlessness and injustice. Wu Mengda and Zhou Runfa are very good friends, at that time Wu Mengda owed a huge debt, wanted to find Zhou Runfa to help, did not expect Zhou Runfa to say a word "you solve it yourself", so Zhou Runfa became the most hated person in Wu Mengda's life. Just when Wu Mengda was desperate, he suddenly received a movie invitation, and the effect of this movie was particularly good after its release, and Wu Mengda also soared. Later, at the award ceremony last week, Runfa presented the award to Wu Mengda, but Wu Mengda did not give him a good face. Afterwards, the director told Wu Mengda that if it were not for Fa Ge recommending you to me, I would not have used you. Wu Mengda, who knew the truth, hugged Zhou Runfa and cried on the spot. Zhou Runfa said that if you were lent money at that time, it would really hurt you, and you could become very good with your own efforts.
Zhou Runfa and his wife Chen Huilian are very affectionate, the previous Zhou Runfa was charming, and had many emotional experiences, until he met Chen Huilian, he completely became a good husband. Chen Huilian and Zhou Runfa had a daughter before, but accidentally miscarried, and then Chen Huilian's chances of conceiving were particularly low, although the two did not have children, but it did not affect the feelings of the two in the slightest! The couple also set up a charity, and Zhou Runfa said that he would donate all of his 5.6 billion yuan to charity. 5.6 billion is all his assets, the result of his half a lifetime of hard work, many people have asked why they want to donate all their assets, Zhou Runfa said, "These money are not mine, I am only temporarily kept, where the money is needed, this money is who.".
Zhou Runfa's road to fame is full of legends, and it has to be said that the heavens are destined to eventually become a great instrument, the road to success is full of ups and downs, and then the emperor does not pay off, and the efforts made finally reap great rewards. Of course, his success is also inseparable from his personal qualities. Li Hanxiang once said: Zhou Runfa is the best actor in China's history. This may be a bit too flattering, but as the film emperor of the three-time Academy Awards, Chow Yun Fat, even if the legend is no longer there, will eventually be an immortal star in the history of Hong Kong film.
