In 1993, Zheng Zeshi's company could not be opened, and he still owed a huge debt of 80 million, so he discussed with Zhang Weijian, who he carried with him, and first used Zhang Weijian's 2.3 million labor fees to repay the debt. Zhang Weijian agreed on his lips, but not long after that, he sued Zheng Zeshi because of this matter.
Mainland audiences' understanding of Zheng Zeshi basically began with the TV series "The True Story of the Fat Cat".
But in fact, Zheng Zeshi debuted very early, at first just ran some tricks or something, until 1985, he had the opportunity to write, direct, and act in a bitter but warm movie "Why Have Me".
The protagonist in the film is a teenager with dementia, also called a fat cat, who is in a difficult situation and ill-fated fate.
This movie made him a blockbuster, and he also won the honor of Golden Statue Actor with the role of fat cat.
In 1988, Zheng Zeshi invited Maggie Cheung and other actors to co-star with them in "Fat Cat Wandering", and since then, Zheng Zeshi's name "fat cat" has been completely launched.
All kinds of honors, fame, resources, and opportunities come in waves.
Faced with the good opportunities that followed, Zheng Zeshi did not get lost, but chose to use his rising momentum to launch a strong and powerful impact on the next goal.
He founded a film and television company to invest in film and television dramas and promote artists.
The first artist he signed was Zhang Weijian.
As early as 1991, when Zheng Zeshi saw Zhang Weijian's excellent performance in "Old Friend Ghost", he asserted that this young man must have done a lot.
Therefore, when he needed to sign an artist, the first thing that came to mind was Zhang Weijian, who was known as the ghost horse spirit at the time, so he extended an olive branch to him.
For Zheng Zeshi's strength, Zhang Weijian still believed very much, so he gladly accepted the invitation.
In order to make Zhang Weijian popular, Zheng Zeshi arranged for him to take on many famous movies, including "Super School Overlord" and "Truant Story".
At that time, every few months, movies starring Zhang Weijian would be shown in the cinema, and the TV was turned on, and it was completely dominated by various dramas starring him.
Zheng Zeshi naturally made a lot of money and was proud.
However, since ancient times, when the moon is full, it will lose, and when the flower is full, it will decline. Because he messed up a movie, the money invested became meat buns and dogs, and even owed 80 million in debt.
The huge gap between the front and back made Zheng Zeshi unacceptable, and even more unable to bear, and overnight, he was full of hair.
But the reality is no longer willing to face, but in the end it will still have to be faced, Zheng Zeshi decided to plug the big hole of arrears first, even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, he could not become an old rascal who did not pay back the money and was spurned by others.
The company still has some money on its account, and originally planned to pay Zhang Weijian a salary, but when such a problem occurred, Zheng Zeshi had to discuss with Zhang Weijian, and his 2.3 million salary would be given later, and the money would be used to save the emergency first.
Zhang Weijian knew that Zheng Zeshi was in dire straits, and it was difficult to say anything, so he could only promise him.
Zheng Zeshi was grateful for Zhang Weijian's understanding, held his hand and said "thank you" repeatedly.
Just when Zheng Zeshi was looking around for help to repay the debt, he never expected to receive a court summons.
And the person who took him to court was Zhang Weijian, who he was carrying.
It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, which made Zheng Zeshi's situation even worse.
As a last resort, he could only sell the mansion, and the family moved to the slum, while Zheng Zeshi and Zhang Weijian also completely broke up.
In order to pay off his debts, Zheng Zeshi also asked some friends, including Chow Yun-fat, for help, but without exception no one helped him.
In the end, he found Andy Lau, who was not so close to him, and hoped that Hua Tsai could help him.
Andy Lau has always been righteous to friends in the circle, although he and Zheng Zeshi were only nodding friends before, but with Andy Lau's personality, people ask to come to the door, how can it be reasonable!
So, Andy Lau asked Zheng Zeshi to be the producer of his new movie "Brother".
Later, as long as he had the opportunity, Andy Lau took Zheng Zeshi to make a movie together.
In the entertainment industry where everyone is accustomed to icing on the cake and no one sends charcoal in the snow, Andy Lau can spare no effort to help Zheng Zeshi when he is down, making Zheng Zeshi toothless for a lifetime.
Ten years later, Zheng Zeshi not only paid off his debts, but also repurchased a mansion.
Besides, Zhang Weijian, it is estimated that when he put Zheng Zeshi in the dock, he never thought that one day, he would also be similarly down.
In 1998, Zhang Weijian, who invested all his money in the property market, also had huge debts because of the financial crisis.
In order to repay the debt, Zhang Weijian also tasted the sadness and despair of Zheng Zeshi back then.
When Zhang Weijian asked for a friend, they all declined under various excuses.
Zhang Weijian, who really wanted to borrow from him, had to ask Andy Lau to help.
This time, Andy Lau also didn't say a word and helped Zhang Weijian.
Andy Lau not only helped Zhang Weijian through the difficulties financially, but also invested in the TV series "Qi Tian Da Sheng Sun Wukong" starring Zhang Weijian.
Andy Lau once said a classic saying: "What you learn must be taught, and what you earn must be given to others." ”
A few words, but the meaning is profound, full of philosophy of being a person. When a person has compassion in his heart and gives him light when others are desperate, his heart will also shine brightly, and no matter how far the road is, it will be smooth and smooth when you walk against the light. It can be said that Andy Lau's popularity to this day is not unrelated to his good character.
Under the influence of Andy Lau, Zhang Weijian has participated in public welfare charity activities for many times, and the most participated in is the "Han Hong Love 100 People Aid" series of activities. Zhang Weijian said that he hopes to pass Andy Lau's kindness to more people, so that everyone can become a person who is helped and a person who helps others, and at that time, the world will be truly full of love. Like "Love", cheer for "Love"!
