preface
In the 80s and 90s of last century, the Hong Kong film and television industry rose in an instant like a sudden army, and caused a lot of turmoil around the world.
With the vigorous development of the Hong Kong film and television industry, a batch of "bright superstars" have been born, and Chow Yun-fat is one of them.
When Chow Yun-fat was just four years after his debut, he became a well-known actor with Xu Wenqiang in "On the Beach".
But Zhou Yunfa did not cover his eyes by fame and fortune, but later struck while the iron was hot, and created many classics such as "The True Color of Heroes" and "God of Gamblers", becoming a "movie king" that can be engraved into the history of the film industry.
However, no dynasty can prosper forever, not even the once prosperous "son of Hong Kong" Chow Yun-fat.
After the film market was gradually divided by various heroes, Chow Yun-fat also began to go downhill.
And what he used to do was once again put on the table by the audience.
Do not want to be enterprising
Recently, the movie "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers" starring Chow Yun-fat is about to be released, and as the starring of the movie, Chow Yun-fat naturally came offline for conventional film promotion.
And his current physical condition is also visible in front of the audience, once a pair of big eyes with a god, now looks a little tired.
The skin is also visibly loose, making many viewers sigh one after another: "Time is like a pig-killing knife, and even Zhou Yunfa has not let go." ”
Just when Zhou Yunfa was in full swing on the other side, there was a problem on the other side.
Seeing Chow Yun-fat appear again as the "God of Gamblers", many viewers also showed strong disgust.
They unanimously believe that Zhou Yunfa is too "unenterprising", and it has been thirty-four years since the release of "God of Gamblers" starring him, but Zhou Yunfa is still eating his "God of Gamblers".
Even the promotional image of the movie once again "pays tribute" to the famous scene of the gambler "burning money and lighting cigarettes".
The reason why Zhou Yunfa has frequently eaten "God of Gambler's Old Ben" for decades is because this work is famous enough, and this is not the first time he has eaten "God of Gambler's Old Ben".
In fact, as early as after Zhou Yunfa's "God of Gamblers" became popular, he saw the business opportunities of the name "God of Gamblers".
After that, he starred in a number of "Macao Vice" series in a row, which made the audience watch it big, and finally gave countless bad reviews after the third part of "Macao Vice" was broadcast.
Seeing that the road of making movies has begun to be opposed by the audience, Zhou Yunfa has set his sights on various types of board games.
There are not only in-game virtual currency games such as "Happy Fighting Landlord", but also other board games that require the use of "real money".
It is precisely because Zhou Yunfa has been tirelessly eating the old book of "God of Gamblers" that the audience's attitude towards Zhou Yunfa is getting worse and worse.
However, Zhou Yunfa was disgusted by more than eating the "old book of the gambling god".
Several times with "naked donation" as a gimmick
In 2008, something happened that shocked the world, that is, Bill Gates, the "world's richest man and father of Microsoft", announced to the world that he would donate all his assets naked after his death.
After seeing Bill Gates' speech so eye-catching, Zhou Yunfa moved his mind in this regard.
According to Chow Yun-fat, in order to be able to "shelter the world's cold and happy faces", he also had to donate his assets naked after his death.
After that, Chow Yun-fat also announced that he would "donate naked" all his property after his death.
Intentional planting of flowers and flowers, unintentional insertion of willows and willows, Zhou Yunfa's "naked donation" speech, although he did not allow him to harvest traffic immediately, but opened another way for him later.
When Zhou Yunfa's "Naked Donation Declaration" fermented, "Children of Yellowstone" starring Zhou Yunfa also ate the dividends of the "Naked Donation Declaration".
The mediocre "Children of Yellowstone" was able to rely on this wave of traffic to surpass the box office of "See the Dragon Unloading" in the same period.
You must know that the starring actor of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading" is Andy Lau, which is not much better than Chow Yun-fat, but these two movies still open a big gap.
It is precisely because of this reversal that Zhou Yunfa realized how influential his "naked donation declaration" is.
Then, in 2010, Chow Yun-fat brought the matter to the table again, once again announcing that he would donate 99% of his property naked.
However, the good times did not last long, and Zhou Yunfa soon needed to "sweat" because of the reporter's interview.
At the end of 2013, when Chow Yun-fat's new work "Macao Vice" was about to be released, Chow Yun-fat also came offline to promote it as usual.
However, a reporter raised the question of "naked donation" to Chow Yun-fat "out of place" at this time.
In the face of the reporter's interview, Zhou Yunfa also responded a little impatiently: "Don't keep making a fuss about this matter, wait forty years later!" ”
This led to repeated questions from reporters: "Then aren't you going to donate?" Have you ever considered what the impact will be after breaking your word? ”
These words instantly overwhelmed Zhou Runfa, who had no time to prepare, and he had to sweat profusely and change the topic and said:
"Eh, my money is not on me, it's all handed over to my wife to manage, I usually can't afford to sit on the bus when I go out, I just walk."
It doesn't matter if you say this, as soon as you say this, it instantly aroused the excitement of netizens, and they began to question Zhou Yunfa's credit.
However, there are also some netizens who object: "People Zhou Yunfa are still alive, you will chase people to ask if they donate after death." ”
Admittedly, this matter is indeed too deep for reporters and some radical netizens, after all, it is much further away from Zhou Yunfa's death.
And it is impossible for Zhou Yunfa to ignore anything, give up his career and only engage in charity, which is not realistic.
But Chow Yun-fat once again failed these netizens who explained for him in the future.
In 2018, Chow Yun-fat once again mentioned his "naked donation" when participating in film promotion work.
However, this time Zhou Yunfa did not come empty-handed, but had registered a charitable foundation in advance, and also attracted cheers from fans.
But after the carnival, it was a mess, and fans and netizens quickly discovered a problem.
That is, Chow Yun-fat's charitable foundation "exists in name only", although it registered the foundation, but did not donate a penny.
And a Zhou Yunfa who did not donate actually won the title of "Charity King of the Entertainment Industry" with this foundation, which is really ridiculous.
This also made the audience once again begin to question Chow Yun-fat's credit, and even this time it involved what he had done.
No one is playing big in sight
In this "sound and color" entertainment industry, there are countless people who have gradually forgotten their original intention because of the climb of status and assets, and Zhou Yunfa is also one of them.
When Chow Yun-fat's coffee position climbed with one "classic" after another, he gradually became a little "unseen".
As early as when Chow Yun-fat participated in the filming of "Full of Golden Armor in the City", he was accused by the director for playing big names.
According to director Zhang Weiping, Zhou Yunfa not only asked the crew to prepare seven luxurious rooms in international hotels for him, but also rented a luxury RV just to let Zhou Yunfa go to the toilet.
Such an exaggerated request will naturally be considered by the production team to play a big name, and in the film promotion stage, the production team did not invite Zhou Yunfa to help.
Not only that, in the preparatory stage of the movie "Red Cliff", Zhou Yunfa did not let go of the film production team.
He first pretended to accept the invitation of the production team, and before filming was about to start, "Lion Opening" generally asked the crew for a salary of five million US dollars, and said that if he did not accept the request, he would quit.
But Chow Yun-fat will not only play big names in front of the crew, but also be rude to the actors with his own coffee position during the filming of the movie.
Like Chow Yun-fat, Maggie Cheung is also a rare superstar in the Hong Kong film industry, and her performance in "Heroes" is eye-catching.
And it is such a "jade woman" woman, but in an interview denounced Chow Yun-fat's "evil deeds".
Maggie Cheung broke the news in an interview that during a filming process, when Chow Yun-fat and her starred in a kiss scene, it was clear that the director had called a pause, but Chow Yun-fat was unwilling to let go.
And after Maggie Cheung pushed and shoved Chow Yunfa many times, he still hugged Maggie Cheung in his own way.
But Maggie Cheung is not the only actor who has been subjected to Chow Yun-fat's rude behavior, and the most well-known one is Jet Li's lover Li Zhi.
When Li Zhi and Chow Yun-fat collaborated on the filming of "Tiger Out of Change", they needed to play a fight scene.
And Li Zhi just understood the general plot, and told the director team that he hoped to replace the stuntman.
However, this request was opposed by Chow Yun-fat, and Chow Yun-fat also said: "Asking for a stuntman is a very unprofessional behavior. ”
Seeing that the "movie headliner" said so, the director team was not good at meeting Li Zhi's requirements, and then let Li Zhi start shooting with real guns.
However, Chow Yun-fat didn't seem to know how to pity Xiang Xiang and cherish jade, and fought Li Zhi on the set.
Not only kicked her into the air, but also pasted flour on her face, and then pressed her head into the water.
All indications are that Chow Yun-fat does not seem to be as kind as he seems.
The audience also gradually lost their awe of this "actor" because of Zhou Yunfa's scandals again and again.
epilogue
Chow Yun-fat's life is a wonderful life, he went from the trough to the top of the mountain, but he almost fell because he lost his original intention.
It is undeniable that Chow Yun-fat did bring one classic after another to the audience in that era.
But this is not the reason why he frequently eats old books and plays big names, a good artist should be able to do "both virtue and art".
I hope that Chow Yun-fat can wake up and correct in time, and I hope that his career can be as prosperous as ever.
What do you think about what Chow Yun-fat did? Let's discuss it in the comments section.
