In the 80s of last century, Chow Yun-fat, known as the "son of Hong Kong", quickly became popular all over the world with the role of the big man "Hui Wenqiang" and became a well-known star.
He has brought us many classic characters, such as the vicious but heavy "Little Pony" in "The True Color of Heroes".
In "God of Gamblers", he played the righteous role "Gao Jin", who dared to expose the ugly face of others, and won the favor of countless audiences.
One of the most famous events is that he followed Bill Gates' example and gave away his entire inheritance after his death.
In an instant, he became the "charity king of the entertainment industry". However, years have passed, and he has never donated.
It turns out that he just wants to use this name to constantly promote his new drama.
In addition, he also humiliated actress Li Zhi in public, and his behavior was spurned by everyone!
Now he is also disgusted by everyone because of his "different appearances",
Grow in thorns
In that underdeveloped era, he was born poor, and when he was a child, he did not even have enough clothes and food, but the external hardships did not make him succumb, but created his strong character.
When he grew up, he came to school under the arrangement of his parents, and he knew from a young age that his parents were not easy, so he was much more mature than his peers.
Reading every day without sleep and food became an indispensable thing in his student days.
His father was a seafarer and his mother was a domestic servant, and his family was not rich, and his father was obsessed with playing cards, which made their family's life even worse.
And he also saw the embarrassing situation of his family, so he consciously chose to study while working, and when the family was living normally, a bad news suddenly came.
In the end, he had to choose to drop out of school and go out to work to support his living expenses, so he stepped into society before graduating from junior high school.
Out of society, he worked as a porter, waiter, postman, car washer and other jobs, and at a young age, he suffered a lot of hardships in order to earn money to support his family.
When he was working as a car washer, once, a guest drove a Rolls-Royce to wash the car, and he saw such a good car for the first time, so he couldn't help but open the door and touch it.
It was this action that was seen by the owner, and the owner also mocked him unceremoniously:
"You also want to drive a Rolls-Royce, and you can't afford to sell it."
In just a few words, he stepped on his dignity and rubbed it repeatedly, and he also felt the feeling of being looked down upon for the first time.
So, from then on, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would buy a Rolls-Royce when he had money in the future, and this experience also planted a seed of his dream in his heart.
A history of ups and downs to fame
When he was 18 years old, one of his junior high school friends approached him with a newspaper and said to him happily:
"Wireless training class enrollment, no need to pay tuition, you can still make money, let's try it!"
Seeing such a good opportunity, he wanted to give it a try, but when he saw that he had to pay an entry fee of 5 yuan, he retreated.
At this time, his friend saw his embarrassment, so he said righteously:
"It's okay, I'll pay the registration fee for you, let's try it together."
In this way, he officially embarked on the path of changing his fate, and when it came time for the interview, his friend was quickly brushed down, and he was unexpectedly left by the interviewer.
In the end, he was lucky enough to enter the deduction training class and became a classmate with Wu Mengda and others.
When he entered the training class, because he had no background and average grades, he was always a "little transparent" in the class.
And he also realized that he could not live in such a muddle, so he put on a suit and tie every day, and came to a crowded place, wanting to meet "nobles" who appreciated him.
One day, as usual, when he generously said "hello" to everyone around him, he finally got a long-lost reply.
The other party is Lin Yanni, the owner of the advertising company responsible for the promotion of Hong Kong films, and she is looking for a "Prince Charming" for her Hong Kong films at the moment.
And Zhou Yunfa, who learned about this, began to recommend himself to the other party, and finally he was selected because of his excellent appearance and tallness.
He also lived up to expectations and successfully played a "Prince Charming" in a Hong Kong film that everyone is excited about,
On the contrary, after graduation, he can only embark on the road of running tricks, during which he has played corpses, hawkers, extras, etc., as long as there is a slight mistake, he will usher in the director's scolding.
Faced with such a dilemma, many of his classmates resolutely chose to change careers, however, he knew that he had no way back and could only continue to be unknown in the acting industry.
After seeing his potential, a director invited him to play the male lead of the play, and he became a hit and became the "dream lover" in the hearts of countless girls.
This drama is "On the Beach", in which he plays the famous "Xu Wenqiang", and the classic characters he created have not been surpassed so far.
Subsequently, with a super high reputation, he starred in works such as "God of Gamblers", "Prison Storm", "The True Color of Heroes" and so on, and he became a household name.
Red but "floating"
In 1997, at a charity dinner, he did something incomprehensible in public.
When actress Li Zhi pushed the cake and walked to the stage, he suddenly came out and pressed the cake to Li Zhi's face, and Li Zhi collapsed on the spot.
Fortunately, his brother Leslie Cheung was present at that time, so he did not become more serious, but apologized to the other party under the mediation of his brother,
A year later, he starred with Li Zhi in "Tiger Out of Change".
And he did take this opportunity to take revenge on each other, and when the two were acting, he mercilessly pushed the other party to the coffee table.
And by filming, he pressed the other party into the water, almost suffocating the actress, which couldn't help but make people complain that he was too vengeful.
In addition, when he filmed "Full of Golden Armor in the City", the pomp was comparable to that of a Hollywood superstar, and he asked the director to allocate 7 rooms for washing, eating, sleeping, etc.;
And also a luxury RV so that his wife can visit him.
In order to make him finish the play smoothly, the producer agreed to all his conditions and spent a lot of money to arrange an RV for him.
However, during his filming, his wife did not visit him once, and this resource was wasted.
Afterwards, the producer said that he would not have a second cooperation with him, and he completely lost his reputation.
Naked donation of 5.6 billion storm
In 2008, Bill Gates announced that he would donate all his property after his death, which caused countless praise.
In the same year, the movie "Children of Yellowstone" starring him was released, and when he was promoting it, he told reporters that he would follow Bill Gates and donate 5.6 billion Hong Kong dollars after his death.
In an instant, everyone was impressed by him and called him the "pride of Hong Kong."
In the face of media questions, he began to work hard to "complete the lie".
He claimed that he also had to eat, that he could not donate it all, that he was not so great, and that he even threw the problem of money on his wife for a while.
At the time of the Wenchuan earthquake, he did not have any public donation records, but he privately owned several mansions, which made his philanthropic image in front of people begin to collapse.
In this regard, netizens have become accustomed to his routine, and bluntly said that he is the one who donates the most with his mouth!
Now he has long faded from people's view, until recently, such a message has attracted everyone's attention.
Status quo of old age
Already old, he gradually faded out of everyone's vision after the storm of "naked donation".
Recently, he was exposed to running, unfortunately fell and injured his ribs, and the doctor repeatedly told him to stop running for two months.
However, after the 68-year-old got better, he started his fitness exercise again, and even after being met by netizens, he was very happy to take photos with everyone.
In this situation, netizens have polarized opinions, some believe that he should take care of his body; Others think there's nothing wrong with pursuing what they love.
