Zhou Xingchi, as the recognized king of comedy, is not only a good actor,
And he's a very good director.
As an actor, he has superb acting skills and presents many classic roles to everyone.
As a director, he also took his comedic talent to the extreme.
It has brought a lot of witty and humorous works to everyone, and brought a lot of laughter to the audience.
For example, in 2004, the movie "Kung Fu" starring and directing Stephen Chow,
It's really a classic film, since its release,
The popularity has not decreased, and it is deeply loved by the audience,
After that, this drama was called by everyone,
Stephen Chow's best film ever made.
It can be said that whenever this drama looks,
It's all going to make people laugh a lot.
Therefore, Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" is undoubtedly a success
However, behind the success of the filming of this drama,
But there are many untold stories.
There are unpleasant, there are regrets, and of course there are joys,
These stories may be even more exciting than the stories in the play.
First, Zhou Xingchi Wu Mengda's brotherhood has been estranged
Speaking of Wu Mengda, I think everyone is no stranger,
As a top supporting role in Hong Kong films,
The relationship between Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi has always been very good,
The two have also collaborated regularly on various classic films.
There are many rumors that Wu Mengda is a supporting role of Stephen Chow,
It can be seen how good the relationship between two people is.
However, what everyone did not expect was that
In Stephen Chow's film "Kung Fu",
But he did not see Wu Mengda's shadow.
Netizens have speculated that there is a problem with the brotherhood between Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi.
However, soon, Wu Mengda's revelations solved the doubts of netizens.
"At that time, I encountered SARS, and I couldn't make "Kung Fu" in my schedule.
He felt that I was not a friend or righteous enough, and neither of them was happy with each other.
If I act, I think the chartered public is mine. ”
According to Wu Mengda's disclosure,
The brotherhood between Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda is a problem,
However, the reason is that Wu Mengda did not participate in the performance because of SARS.
However, after that, Wu Mengda also stressed that no matter how the outside world evaluates Zhou Xingchi,
His talent for comedy is truly unquestionable.
Second, Zhou Xingchi and Hong Jinbao broke up
During the filming of "Kung Fu",
In addition to the fact that Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda were not very happy,
It was even more quarrelsome with Hong Jinbao, and the two almost fought directly on the set.
It is said that during the filming of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu",
Directly invited the experienced Hong Jinbao as the martial arts instructor of "Kung Fu".
How rich is Hong Jinbao's martial arts coaching experience?
It is said that Hong Jinbao has been around since 1966.
I have done martial arts instruction for many TV series.
According to statistics, since Hong Jinbao did martial arts guidance so far,
Has directed more than 80 films,
In terms of quantity alone, no one can stand out.
It can be said that Hong Jinbao is simply a figure of the level of martial arts guidance in the world of titans,
It is precisely because of this that when "Kung Fu" first began to prepare,
Zhou Xingchi directly invited Hong Jinbao to join the crew.
However, what everyone did not expect was that
During the actual filming process, the two people quickly broke up.
In the filming of the film, Zhou Xingchi is a real perfectionist,
As long as anyone who has worked with Zhou Xingchi knows the harshness of Zhou Xingchi.
When filming, Zhou Xingchi is often dissatisfied with a shot.
Will go to shoot repeatedly, regardless of cost, regardless of time,
He only wants his own satisfactory work.
However, Hong Jinbao felt that it was okay to properly pursue perfection.
But regardless of the cost, regardless of the progress to pursue the ultimate perfection is not worth the loss.
So the two people had a big disagreement over the filming,
It also caused Hong Jinbao's extreme dissatisfaction with Zhou Xingchi.
Once, Hong Jinbao took a shot for several days, which was directly denied by Zhou Xingchi.
This incident, as a fuse, directly detonated Hong Jinbao's long-standing anger.
But then he and Zhou Xingchi quarreled, and one of the two people insisted on ensuring the progress,
A person who insists on the ultimate perfection, the cause refuses to give in,
After that, Hong Jinbao also said directly on the set:
"Zhou Xingchi only treats himself as a human being, and everyone else is a dog."
This sentence directly angered Zhou Xingchi, and finally,
Zhou Xingchi, who was on the gas head, directly proposed to let Hong Jinbao leave.
And Hong Jinbao, as a martial arts instructor,
Nature also has its own temper, when even if you leave the stall,
The two's collaboration in Kung Fu came to an end.
After Hong Jinbao was fired,
Zhou Xingchi also invited Yuan Heping, a martial arts instructor with the same name as Hong Jinbao.
Yuan Heping's martial arts style is changeable, while Zhou Xingchi is good at exaggeration,
The two deliberately created an exaggerated style of martial arts.
Therefore, a careful viewer will be able to find that
In the first half and the second half of Kung Fu.
It's two completely different styles of martial arts, each with its own characteristics.
But Hong Jinbao is also a very good person,
After being fired by Stephen Chow,
I didn't say that Zhou Xingchi's half-point was not.
This is very rare, perhaps in Hong Jinbao's heart,
Stephen Chow is still a very good director,
It's just that the concept between two people is different and it is not suitable for cooperation,
But Zhou Xingchi's personality Hong Jinbao will still agree with it.
And Zhou Xingchi's approach is indeed remarkable,
Although Hong Jinbao left before the film "Kung Fu" was finished,
However, Zhou Xingchi still took the initiative to give Hong Jinbao a remuneration.
Not only that, Zhou Xingchi is also at the end of the film,
The name of action director Hong Jinbao was played.
Third, Yuan Qiu's appearance is accidental
In 2004, Stephen Chow was casting for his film "Kung Fu".
At the scene of casting, I met Yuan Qiu, who took a friend's audition,
When Zhou Xingchi saw Yuan Qiu's domineering temperament,
I immediately thought of the charter wife in the play.
So Zhou Xingchi had the idea of letting Yuan Qiu participate in "Kung Fu",
However, when screening the actors' information, Zhou Xingchi did not find the information of Yuan Qiu.
After some inquiry, I learned that Yuan Qiu was only accompanying a friend to look at the mirror,
There is no intention of participating in "Kung Fu", and this person has been out of the film for 18 years.
Not only that, the coming of the First Autumn is not small,
It is the sister of Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao who are very respected,
After learning yuan qiu's identity background, Zhou Xingchi was once very frustrated.
After all, such a strong background, if there is no acting mind,
So how to please is a white ride, but the temperament of Yuan Qiu is really too similar to the charter wife,
This role seems to be tailored for Yuan Qiu.
Zhou Xingchi, who has always pursued perfectionism, felt that
If you can't invite Yuan Qiu, it is simply difficult to sleep.
As a result, Zhou Xingchi's heart surged with an inevitable idea,
Based on this idea, Zhou Xingchi directly found Yuan Qiu,
Sure enough, as Zhou Xingchi expected, Yuan Qiu had no idea of acting at all.
But this does not make Zhou Xingchi back down,
After all, at that time, Zhou Xingchi was ready to fight a protracted war.
Even if it is stalking, it will definitely invite Yuan Qiu to come.
Sure enough, there is nothing in this world that cannot be insisted upon,
There is no one who is stalking and can't figure it out.
Finally, Yuan Qiu was beaten by Zhou Xingchi's stalking,
Finally agreed to play the charter wife.
But at the same time, Yuan Qiu also put forward his own conditions,
Yuan Qiu claimed that he had a bad temper and could not bear to be scolded on the set.
If someone dares to scold himself, he will never spare his subordinates.
And you may leave at any time.
Such a request made Zhou Xingchi feel that he had found the right person.
After all, Yuan Qiu even made a request for such a "charter wife",
So Zhou Xingchi immediately agreed.
This invited Yuan Qiu, who climbed up the side leak, to participate in "Kung Fu".
Here I have to praise the viciousness of Zhou Xingchi's vision,
After the release of "Kung Fu", the "charter wife" played by Yuan Qiu,
It's really domineering side dew, into the wood three points.
In the end, the Yuan Qiu of 18 years of the film, with the "Kung Fu" drama completely fired,
The charter wife she plays is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
To this day, as long as someone mentions the three words "charter wife",
I think the shadow of The First Autumn will come to mind many people.
Give Jin Yong 60,000 royalties, and Jin Yong donated all of them to the disaster area
After Stephen Chow finished filming the movie "Kung Fu",
Stephen Chow because in the movie "Kung Fu",
Quoting many names and nouns from Jin Yong's novels,
For example, the Divine Eagle Hero, Taijiquan Yang Guo and so on.
Therefore, Zhou Xingchi felt that Jin Yong should be paid the appropriate copyright fees.
Based on this idea, Zhou Xingchi directly found Jin Yong,
I want to pay royalties to Jin Yong.
When Zhou Xingchi proposed to Jin Yong to pay the copyright fee,
Jin Yong felt very incredible.
After all, Jin Yong, as a martial arts novel titan-level character,
It is common for people and nouns in novels to be quoted.
But no one has ever come to the door to pay for the copyright,
And he himself has never asked for such a request,
Therefore, Jin Yong directly refused to accept Zhou Xingchi's payment request.
However, what Jin Yong did not expect was that
Zhou Xingchi refused to give up, looking at such a persistent Zhou Xingchi,
Finally, Jin Yong was helpless, so he proposed that Zhou Xingchi count the number of times borrowed in the play, 10,000 yuan at a time.
Finally, Zhou Xingchi really ran back and counted,
A total of 6 places were found, and finally Jin Yong paid 60,000 yuan.
However, this money, Jin Yong did not take it for himself,
Instead, he donated all the money to the victims of the South Asian tsunami.
Jin Yongde's practice has undoubtedly been practiced,
His sentence in "The Condor Man":
The great righteousness of the hero is for the country and the people.
There are many exclamations:
After watching so many works of Jin Yong,
Worship so many heroes in Jin Yong's works,
In the end, he actually forgot to worship Jin Yong, the real hero.
After Stephen Chow, there is no more "Kung Fu"
In 2004, Stephen Chow's film "Kung Fu",
With funny and humorous, it has brought a lot of laughter to countless people,
It has also become a childhood memory for many people,
Since its release, the popularity is still the same.
It is also because of the popularity of "Kung Fu",
So in 2020, in "Kung Fu",
Liang Xiaolong, the actor of "Vulcan Evil God",
A remake of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" was made.
It is said that Liang Xiaolong's acting career at that time has been very unsmooth,
Perhaps out of a sense of pity for talent, Zhou Xingchi learned of Liang Xiaolong's situation,
Sent an invitation letter to Liang Xiaolong, hoping that Liang Xiaolong,
Can star in the villain "Fire Cloud Evil God" in "Kung Fu".
However, at that time, Zhou Xingchi must not have imagined,
This decision of your own will cause you a lot of trouble.
After the release of "Kung Fu", this drama was a big fire,
The characters in the play, whether they are the protagonists or supporting characters,
All with this drama on fire,
Subsequently, Liang Xiaolong also signed Zhou Xingchi's company.
However, shortly after Liang Xiaolong signed a contract with Zhou Xingchi Company,
He directly turned against Zhou Xingchi,
According to Liang Xiaolong, Zhou Xingchi's deduction of employees' wages is very severe.
Not only that, Liang Xiaolong also scolded Zhou Xingchi because of this matter,
The relationship between the two has thus dropped to a freezing point.
However, what everyone did not expect was that
After Liang Xiaolong scolded Zhou Xingchi,
I actually turned around and remade Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu".
In 2020, the movie "Kung Fu" remade by Liang Xiaolong was released.
The title of the movie is "The Mask of the Fire Cloud Evil God Shura".
This movie is a collection of big names,
Liang Xiaolong, Yuan Hua, and Yuan Qiu have many roles in the "Kung Fu" elderly,
And the shape of the three people is also imitating the shape of Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu",
However, this drama, from the story to the production, is very rough,
It cannot be compared with Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu".
Even if the big coffee gathered, it still failed to save this drama,
In the end, the film directly hit the street, and the final rating was only 2.8 points.
Successfully set a record for the lowest rating of the movie,
It's really blind to a bunch of good actors.
In fact, each step of the work has its own soul,
And the process of the audience watching the movie,
In fact, it is the process of exploring the soul of the work.
It is also a process of understanding and recognizing the creator.
Only the original creator of the work can grasp the soul of the work,
And the essence of the work is expressed through the work,
In order to achieve the purpose of their own film creation.
Therefore, the audience is interested in plagiarism and imitation of the amount of content,
It's easy to feel intuitively,
Therefore, Liang Xiaolong imitated Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu",
Remade from the movie "Fire Cloud Evil God's Shura Mask",
Just imitated the shape of "Kung Fu",
But it is difficult to imitate the soul of Kung Fu.
Therefore, Liang Xiaolong's approach is simply Dong Shi Xiaoyi,
Such a blatant imitation, the audience can recognize at a glance,
This is also why the "Fire Cloud Evil God's Shura Mask" pounced on the street,
The reason for the lowest rating of a movie.
So a director wants to create a good work,
You must not blindly imitate the works of others.
Instead, it is necessary to innovate on the basis of other people's works, and revolutionize the old and the new.
Form your own creative style, but also pay attention to the changes in the market,
Create marketable, high-quality works,
Only in this way can we stand in an invincible position in the film market.
All in all, after Stephen Chow,
There will be more excellent works in the market.
Maybe these works can also become classics like "Kung Fu",
However, there is no more Kung Fu.
So do you think there will be a remake that surpasses Kung Fu?
