In 1997, before filming "Luding Ji", Stephen Chow pointed at Chen Xiaochun and said: "You are too impetuous to calm down to study." ”
In order to shoot "Luding Ji", Chen Xiaochun specially asked Stephen Chow how to play Wei Xiaobao better, and Stephen Chow taught him four character tips: color, play, ghost, and fool!
Chen Xiaochun has surpassed his father!
Originally, Stephen Chow's "Wei Xiaobao" was written by Jin Yong himself, and he said: "There is no second choice. ”
That year, as soon as the film came out, it not only received widespread praise, but even exceeded 40 million at the box office.
Because of this, Chen Xiaochun specially approached Stephen Chow when he was in the 98 version of "Luding Ji" and asked for his opinion.
Wang Jing once commented on Stephen Chow: "In the past thirty years, I have never found a funny character like Stephen Chow. ”
Stephen Chow is definitely called the "king of comedy" in Wang Jing's mind, but later the two were a little embarrassed for various reasons.
Speaking of Wang Jing and Stephen Chow's partner, "Luding Ji" is absolutely well deserved.
Originally, Wei Xiaobao's role should be Tony Leung, but as the shooting time approached, Wang Jing found that Stephen Chow and Wei Xiaobao's personalities were very similar, so he gave the role to Stephen Chow at the last minute.
Stephen Chow's performance did not disappoint.
However, without Wang Jing, Stephen Chow's achievements are beyond doubt.
In order to enhance the sense of joy, Wang Jing carefully arranged many interesting shots under the presence of Stephen Chow, creating one classic scene after another.
Wang Jing once addressed Stephen Chow, "Do you want Li Jiaxin to stick your nose in?" ”
Stephen Chow's whole person froze, and he asked repeatedly: "Is this really Li Jiaxin?" ”
"It must be!" Wang Jing swore by it.
"That'll do." Stephen Chow said.
Before filming, Stephen Chow once joked to Li Jiaxin: "Don't dislike my nose, I washed this scene three times from beginning to end."
Li Jiaxin was amused by Stephen Chow's words: "I won't hate you, don't hate me, I have cleaned my feet many times, it's delicious!" ”
After several filming, the film eventually became a classic.
However, due to the disagreement between the two concepts and the disagreement in filming and remuneration, the relationship between Stephen Chow and Wang Jing cannot go back to the past.
However, the role of Stephen Chow's "Wei Xiaobao" is a classic and insurmountable.
Chen Xiaochun, a native of Huizhou, Guangdong, followed his father to Hong Kong after graduating from junior high school and worked hard for life.
At the age of 16 in 1983, Chen Xiaochun went to Causeway Bay alone, and worked in a grocery stall and barbershop, which was not easy, but it also added a lot of life experience to his future acting career.
Chen Xiaochun has loved dancing since he was a child, so when he accidentally learned that TVB's training course was recruiting dancers, Chen Xiaochun did not hesitate and signed up, he was 18 years old.
A casual performance convinced the main examination teachers present. Chen Xiaochun was hired, and since then, he has quit his job to attend TVB's artist training class.
Because of his excellent performance, he is his name in the performances of big-name stars such as Alan Tam, Anita Mui, Chen Baiqiang, and Leslie Cheung, but now, he is unknown.
Chen Xiaochun starred in the films of famous directors such as Chen Desen and Chen Kexin in 1994, although they are all male protagonists, but in terms of acting skills, he is not good at acting, but he is also well-known.
Both films were selected as "Best Newcomer Award" and "Best Actor No. 2" at 14 Hong Kong Film Awards, and finally won "Best Actor No. 2" with Chan's role as "Po" in "Late Nine Dynasty Five", and his acting career has skyrocketed since then.
The role of "mountain chicken" played by Liu Weiqiang in "Confused Boy" in 1996 gradually became familiar to the public.
After that, Chen Xiaochun starred in many films, but none of them were as classic as the "mountain chicken" in "Confused Boy", so he desperately wanted a good work to express himself.
Hong Kong TVB remade Jin Yong's famous novel "Luding Ji" in 1998, and took Chen Xiaochun as the role of "Wei Xiaobao", and Chen Xiaochun specially visited Stephen Chow in order to play "Wei Xiaobao" better.
Tony Leung's TV series and Stephen Chow's TV series are among the best, so Chen Xiaochun is under a lot of pressure.
Chen Xiaochun even rejected the invitation to "Confused Boy 5", just to make himself progress.
Stephen Chow has been busy filming since his debut, and Chen Xiaochun has come to him for advice many times, but has not succeeded.
After repeating this six times, the two finally met in seven meetings.
Just when Chen Xiaochun was about to take this opportunity to ask him for advice, Stephen Chow just said a word to Chen Xiaochun.
Chen Xiaochun really inherited his essence, the four big characters of "color", "play" and "ghost" allowed Chen Xiaochun to capture the essence of this character at once, which is also the best evaluation of "Luding Ji".
Wei Xiaobao has seven wives, and he is a womanizer.
But he was sincere with his wife.
In the eyes of the rich, his wife is always happier.
The gambler had four wives, all of whom loved him very much.
This is why the ancients had three women.
Anyway, with enough money, he can also pay for his wife.
Chen Xiaochun took this sentence to heart, and in the next few films, Chen Xiaochun fused the four words of Stephen Chow into one and interpreted a completely different Wei Xiaobao in a completely different style.
This is also after Stephen Chow, he once again played a role in Wei Xiaobao. This scene left a deep shadow on him.
Today, when Wei Xiaobao is mentioned, Chen Xiaochun is always remembered, and perhaps in their opinion, only the two of them can interpret Wei Xiaobao to life.
After that, he was turned over again and again, and even found Zhang Yishan, a young actor, but there was no way.
The success of this movie is not only because of Chen Xiaochun's acting skills, but also because of many characters.
Take Ma Junwei, the actor of Kangxi, Ma Junwei once said that when he accepted this character, he was surprised, he had never seen the works of Tony Leung and Andy Lau, both of whom were male gods in his mind, and no one could ever imagine that they would challenge their idols!
At the instigation of everyone, I reluctantly accepted this task, but I did not expect it to be so good!
As of 2020, there are a total of 8 "Luding Ji" serials. 1977 Wen Xueer, Wang Yu Edition, Liang Chaowei, 1984, Chen Xiaochun, Huang Xiaoming, Han Dong, 2020, Zhang Yishan, "Han Dong", "2020"!
Among these 8 different movies, Chen Xiaochun can be said to be a classic. The fact that a movie can be shot repeatedly by so many people is enough to show how classic this movie is!
"Luding Ji" after 24 years, not only good acting skills, but also the actors' appearance and work attitude are very good, even if there is no filtering, this "seven beauty" is also very attractive.
Chen Xiaochun and Ma Junwei both shaved their hair to play this character, so their popularity has always been very high.
However, it has to be said that after the tragedy of red face, many people have retired, and there is no longer the glory of the past. The recently exposed "Seven Beauty" does seem a little old, which also confirms this statement. Compared with Stephen Chow and Chen Xiaochun, they are also in the same dilemma, one is gray hair, and the other is a confidante.
It can be seen that both men and women must be carefully cared for in order to live forever, otherwise even "Wei Xiaobao" will be difficult to maintain his appearance.
