The 68-year-old famous movie star Chow Yun-fat has repeatedly declared: When I die, I will "donate" all my property naked. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately won wide unanimous praise. You must know that the amount of property of Zhou Yunfa and his wife is not small, about 5.6 billion!
The matter of Chow Yun-fat's "naked donation" has actually been around for a long time, because as early as 2008, when Bill Gates announced that he would donate all his property after his death, Chow Yun-fat also tactfully said that he would also donate naked when he participated in a variety show in South Korea in the same year.
Zhou Yunfa said at the time: There are too many people in need of help in this society, and it is good to be able to donate property to those who need help.
The "naked donation" statement was affirmed
It is admirable that Zhou Yunfa has such awareness, and Zhou Yunfa also took advantage of the hot iron to reiterate his naked donation plan at the film press conference of the movie "Children of Yellowstone" starring him.
He swore in front of many media that he and his wife Chen Huilian had agreed to "donate" all their property and contribute to society after their deaths.
Chow Yun-fat's move immediately caused a huge social response, and people from all walks of life were moved by Chow Yun-fat's selfless dedication, and the number of Chow Yun-fat's fans "rubbed" straight up.
And the movie "Children of Yellowstone" starring him at that time also won a very high box office in the same period, directly throwing off Andy Lau's "See the Dragon Unloading" starring Andy Lau at the same time.
In fact, the reason why it can have such a high box office is not unrelated to the "naked donation" he swore at the film press conference some time ago.
However, Chow Yun-fat's "naked donation" statement seems to have disappeared, and many media are impatient, and in 2010, the media interviewed the spirited Chow Yun-fat: "Is the naked donation real?" ”
Chow Yun-fat also remembered what he said at the film press conference, so he said in a very positive tone: "It's true, I will donate 99% of my property after I die." ”
If this is the case, Chow Yun-fat will donate at least HK$5.6 billion after his death, which will bring some fairness to the society where the gap between the rich and the poor is widening.
After hearing this, many fans were once again admired by the selfless dedication of "Brother Fa", and they even gave "Brother Fa" the title of "Charity King of the entertainment industry", which is the same name as Cao Dewang, the charity king of the business world.
"Naked donation" plan, difficult to answer
In 2013, "Macau Vice" is about to be released, and Chow Yun-fat also plays the role of "God of Gamblers" in this drama.
Before the start of the show, Chow Yun-fat held a film conference again, during which he once again expressed his "naked donation" plan after his death, creating a perfect character for himself.
At this time, the Hong Kong reporter asked Zhou Yunfa: "Do you have any specific implementation plans for "naked donation"? Chow Yun-fat began answering reporters' questions, and finally "started Tai Chi."
Chow Yun-fat said that it is too early to discuss this issue, so let's wait forty years from now. In addition, Chow Yun-fat also kicked the ball to his wife.
He said with a grievance: "All my funds are controlled by my wife Chen Huilian, and now I am also very poor, I can only travel by bus every day, and I have to continue filming, and I never dare to rest." ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused heated discussions among the majority of netizens, among which some expressed deep doubts about Zhou Yunfa's "crying poverty", after all, as a recognized "gambling god" and "actor" in the film and television industry, how could he be pinched to death by his wife?
And not long ago, Zhou Yunfa's wife Chen Huilian spent 128 million yuan to buy a villa. To say that Zhou Yunfa has no money, these netizens don't believe it.
However, whether or not to donate money is his own decision, because he has absolute control over the money he legally earns, and no one can interfere arbitrarily, after all, legal private property is sacred and inviolable.
Moreover, Zhou Yunfa said that he and his wife died and then "donated naked", although Zhou Yunfa is 68 years old, but the body is still very tough, the spirit is still very strong, we all hope that "Brother Fa" can live a long life.
After all, it is not appropriate to let "Brother Fa" make a specific "naked donation" plan in advance.
In the following years, when the public seemed to forget the news that Zhou Yunfa wanted to "donate naked", Zhou Yunfa once again took the initiative to mention the "naked donation" after his death.
"Brother Fa" charity, dwarfed
In 2018, the new movie "Matchless" starring Chow Yun-fat is about to be released, and in order to create momentum for the movie, he held a film conference again. He said that his charitable foundation has been established, and after his death, he will "naked" 99% of his property to give back to the society.
After the fans of "Brother Fa" received an affirmative reply from their idols again, they were all impressed by the great love spirit of "Brother Fa".
However, some careful netizens noticed a strange phenomenon, that is, the "brother Fa", whom everyone admires, mentions the "naked donation" charity at the press conference of his new movie every time, but rarely mentions it on other occasions.
So many netizens reasoned logically, and finally they felt that "Brother Fa's" "naked donation" declaration was likely to be free promotion for his new movie, and he did not really want to "donate naked".
After all, from the time when "Brother Fa" first mentioned "naked donation" to now, in more than ten years, Zhou Yunfa has talked about his "naked donation" charity deeds a total of eight times, and has also won the title of "charity king in the entertainment industry".
But his actual actions have always failed to keep up with the loud slogans, and he has not done anything tangible and good.
Compared with Koo Tianle's real donation to Koo Tianle Primary School and Andy Lau's public welfare concert, Chow Yun-fat does not seem to have done anything practical.
And Lin Xue, a very famous supporting actor in Hong Kong, frankly said: Actors who sincerely do charity are really rare, and there are only two people, Koo Tianle and Andy Lau.
Although Andy Lau and Koo Tianle have become the most influential figures in the world, they are like spirited and loving young people, maintaining fairness and justice in the temptation of money and beauty.
After comparison, many netizens also began to be very puzzled by Zhou Yunfa's "selling mouth" behavior, after all, charity is not spoken, but done.
Father "gamblers" and dropped out of school to wash cars
Although Zhou Yunfa's image of "gambling god" is unsurpassed, in reality, Zhou Yunfa still hates gambling, because his father almost caused the tragedy of family destruction because of gambling.
In 1955, Chow Yun-fat was born in an ordinary family on Lamma Island, Hong Kong. However, because his father had been obsessed with gambling for a long time and could not extricate himself, the family was surrounded by walls and debt.
Therefore, when he was a child, Zhou Yunfa lived a very miserable life, often eating the last meal but not the next, and at the same time having to avoid the creditors of gambling debts. You understand the truth of ten bets and nine losses, and the only time you win is to pull you into the water.
When Chow Yun-fat was 15 years old, his gambling father died suddenly due to long-term overnight gambling and became a "gambler".
Chow Yun-fat was very sad, but he found that after his father's death, his mother's financial pressure was obviously much less, after all, there were no creditors to continue to collect debts from the family.
Chow Yun-fat is also in adolescence, and he is eager to go out and earn money to repay his mother's nurturing grace, so he chose to drop out of school without hesitation. However, the fledgling Chow Yun-fat seems to be in trouble, and the harsh reality has taught him a good lesson.
It turned out that Chow Yun-fat was only 15 years old at the time, not yet an adult, and most people could not afford to hire "child labor".
In the end, Chow Yun-fat was cornered and saw a car shop recruiting car washers, so he went to seek employment with the last glimmer of hope, but was ruthlessly rejected.
At this time, Zhou Yunfa no longer had any entanglement on his body, and he was already hungry, and under his bitter pleading, the owner of the car shop moved his compassion and risked the world's condemnation to hire child labor.
Chow Yun-fat knows that his job is not easy to come by, so he cherishes this job very much and never lazy and slippery. And the adolescent Zhou Yunfa did not have pimples, and his handsome cheeks were also shaped at this time.
Extraordinary temperament, popular film and television
And those rich women who washed cars became repeat customers after seeing the tall and handsome Zhou Yunfa, and they all liked Zhou Yunfa. Although this job of washing cars may seem a bit low-end, it is an important springboard for him to enter the show business.
Chow Yun-fat has been working here for three years, and he has already mingled with colleagues around him.
One day, a colleague of Chow Yun-fat with a good relationship said to him: "Hong Kong TVB is opening an artist training class, you look so handsome, it's better to try it, in case it becomes one." ”
At that time, 18-year-old Chow Yun-fat grew longer and more handsome, but he was still not confident enough in himself. Under the repeated persuasion of colleagues, Chow Yun-fat finally plucked up the courage to go and find out.
Perhaps Chow Yun-fat is naturally extraordinary, and TVB interviewer Zhong Jinghui was impressed by his powerful aura as soon as he saw Chow Yun-fat. Interviewer Chung King Fai was keenly aware that Chow Yun-fat had a special temperament, which was lacking in ordinary actors.
So, with the full support of Zhong Jinghui, Chow Yun-fat actually stood out among thousands of candidates and began to sign a contract with TVB. It turns out that Zhong Jinghui chose the right person.
In 1980, Chow Yun-fat's Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Beach" entered the wood, which is difficult to surpass to this day.
At that time, this heroic "brother Fa" became a male god and idol in the minds of thousands of people, so Zhou Yunfa's value rose and he became a popular actor.
However, after becoming famous, Zhou Yunfa seems to be "floating", because while Zhou Yunfa is becoming more and more famous, it is accompanied by various scandals about him, including many stains such as playing big names and "thin" women, among which netizens also cited several examples.
In 1988, when Chow Yun-fat was filming "Tiger Out of Change", because of the needs of the plot, Chow Yun-fat and the Asian goddess Li Zhi intersected. However, if you follow the plot, Chow Yun-fat needs to stage a fight with Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was very cautious about this, and she was even a little resistant, so she applied to the crew to be able to use a stand-in to act in this scene. But Chow Yun-fat was the first to jump out against it, saying: Good film effects must be practiced.
Li Zhi saw that the matter had come to this, so it was difficult to continue to say anything.
"Fake drama is really done", "Change of generals"
However, when Li Zhi thought that Chow Yun-fat would end up in the fight scene, the development of things far exceeded Li Zhi's expectations, because Chow Yun-fat seemed to be "fake drama real doing", and even kicked Li Zhi a few meters away with one leg.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yunfa slammed Li Zhi's head into the unclean water tank, without the slightest pity for Xiangxiang Yu.
The difficult fight scene was finally filmed, and Lizhi finally couldn't stand it, and she was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment, and for several months, Lizhi couldn't move in the hospital.
The crew did not give Li Zhi a little care, but happily held a celebration banquet to celebrate the successful end of the movie. This situation was immediately exposed by the Hong Kong media, so people were upset for Miss Li Chi.
Chow Yun-fat also began to reflect on whether what he did was indeed a bit too much, so he complied with public opinion and deeply expressed his apologies for this situation.
At the critical time of filming the movie "Red Cliff", director John Woo is going to replace the leading actor of Chow Yun-fat, why did John Woo "change generals"? After all, this is a taboo for film and television.
It turned out that John Woo was also helpless, because Zhou Yunfa was proud of doubling his value, and suddenly put forward an unacceptable request before filming: increase his salary by three times.
John Woo couldn't tolerate Zhou Yunfa's sitting price, so he was willing to commit the taboo of "changing generals on the spot" and resolutely refused to let Chow Yun-fat star.
Final words
In Chow Yun-fat's new movie "Don't Call Me a God of Gamblers" in June 2023, Chow Yun-fat did not play the "God of Gamblers" in the past, but played the life process of "Bragging Hui" who went through hardships to get out of the abyss of gambling, which is somewhat similar to his father who died because of gambling.
"Brother Fa" has brought a strong stroke to the youth of many people, and many people have taken "Brother Fa" as an example, and they are imitating the "Brother Fa" who dares to be bold. Although "Brother Fa" has no children and no daughters, he makes it clear that he and his wife are very happy together.
Regardless of whether "Brother Fa" is really willing to "donate naked", this is people's freedom, and no one has the right to interfere. I wish the 68-year-old "Brother Fa" a long life, a son in old age, happiness and well-being.
