Recently, Xiang Zuo's sudden live broadcast was hotly searched. However, it seems that netizens do not buy his account. The last time Xiang Zuo spoke was when he "publicly said that Stephen Chow's character is not good". We all know that Stephen Chow and the Xiang family have been holding grudges for a long time, and once Xingye was almost "banned" by the Xiang family.
Stephen Chow, an actor born on June 22, 1962, is now 61 years old and has his birthday one month away. In June last year, Lin Yun gave Stephen Chow a birthday, and Stephen Chow in the photo was full of gray hair. The "Zhou Xingxing" in the impression is still that handsome young man, but I didn't expect that he has become like this now.
Recently, there was news that "Mermaid 2" co-produced by Stephen Chow and Huayi Brothers has basically been filmed. The film is expected to meet audiences soon. After the filming of "Yangtze River No. 7", Stephen Chow basically did not appear in front of the screen. He is now "behind the scenes" and "at ease" as a director. So why did Stephen Chow choose "Yangtze River No. 7" as his last movie?
Many people say that he can only act in comedy, but in this play, Stephen Chow does not have the humorous baggage of those previous comedies. Instead, he used the performance of the main drama to portray a vivid father image of a migrant worker. The protagonist of the movie, Xiao Di, was born in a poor family and depended on his migrant father for life. His father did his best to send Xiao Di to the "noble school". However, with a poor family, he was bullied and ridiculed by his classmates at school. The only father he could rely on also lost his life due to a sudden accident. He actually depicts to us the story of migrant workers in high-risk occupations in order to support their families and eventually die accidentally.
The whole film reveals the bitterness of small people, but Stephen Chow wrote such a widespread social tragedy into a fairy tale. A sudden appearance of an "alien creature" Qizai changed all that. With his super cute appearance and various strange "juggling treasures", he brought a lot of laughter to Xiao Di, who was isolated by his classmates at that time. Qizai also helped Xiao Di "punish" those classmates who maliciously harassed him. The most important thing is that he used all his energy to save Xiao Di's father. This is the kindness of Stephen Chow, who describes a cruel world, but does not let you completely despair. When you are in a desperate situation, someone will always show up to bring you new hope!
In fact, Stephen Chow is not using this film to "insinuate" his "unbearable" past. Later, with the help of the "big guy", he created today's glory step by step. In 1988, Stephen Chow, who had been running for 8 years, made his debut with the role of the male duo in "Thunderbolt Pioneer" under the appreciation of "Bole" Li Xiuxian.
Many friends here may not know who Li Xiuxian is, so I will briefly introduce it here. Stephen Chow won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with "Thunderbolt Pioneer", and the acting road officially set sail. The next Stephen Chow's acting career is like opening a "hanging", and one after another is offered. But Stephen Chow's gratitude is "deserved" in Li Xiuxian's eyes. No matter how popular the movie is, Li Xiuxian only gives Stephen Chow the lowest salary. He even publicly mocked Stephen Chow for working hard like a "dog". The classic line in the later "Journey to the West": "He looks like a dog!" "That's what I'm talking about.
Faced with the suppression, Stephen Chow did not resist. At that time, Stephen Chow remembered that Li Xiuxian had a "grace of knowledge" for him, and after the contract signed by the two parties had expired, he did not look for other companies to cooperate. But his so-called "Bole" Li Xiuxian "sold" Stephen Chow to Xiang Huaqiang's Yongsheng Film and Television for 700,000 yuan. At that time, Yongsheng wanted to have Wang Jing as the director and Andy Lau and Jet Li as the actors. Stephen Chow's arrival can only be said to be the "icing on the cake", but for Stephen Chow, this is the beginning of a real fire. Xiang Huaqiang, who "sees pearls", gave Stephen Chow the best resources and the most freedom
The performance environment, and the best team. And Stephen Chow did not "live up" to this preferential treatment, and gave back to the "old club" with one movie after another that refreshed the box office of Hong Kong films.
However, the super high box office, the prestigious popularity and the hundreds of thousands of salaries that Xiang Huaqiang has long given to Stephen Chow form a sharp contrast. When Stephen Chow was invited to participate in other directors' films, the other party opened the salary to several million. Stephen Chow, who had already caught fire, became a money-making tool for the "owner" in the end. He is very unhappy with his current salary.
Therefore, after the contract signed with Yongsheng Film expired, Stephen Chow resolutely chose to refuse to "renew" the contract. This move further deteriorated the relationship between Stephen Chow and Xiangjia, and the two sides turned against each other. After the termination of the contract, Stephen Chow decided to be a director himself, but was secretly obstructed by "unknown" figures halfway. After several twists and turns, he finally succeeded in becoming a "director" himself.
Stephen Chow, who has successfully become a director, has opened two TV and film companies and filmed one classic film and television drama after another such as "Shaolin Football" and "Journey to the West". However, behind this success lies a lot of unknown bitterness.
In fact, when filming "Shaolin Football", Stephen Chow was calculated by Xiang Jia. At that time, Xiang Jia's public shouted not to invest in Stephen Chow's film, and to invest in him was to oppose Xiang Jia. At that time, the Xiang family couple were among the top figures in the entertainment industry. Xiang's shouting caused Stephen Chow's film not to attract a penny of investment, and everyone in Hong Kong at that time "drew a line" with Stephen Chow.
However, Stephen Chow is not the kind of person who sits and waits to be "beaten". With the unremitting efforts of Stephen Chow, the "big guy" of Universal International Group made a move and generously invested 40 million. Stephen Chow is also very "competitive", with a global box office of 300 million, directly breaking the film record in Hong Kong and winning the "Academy Award actor".
However, the farce of termination continues, and a breaking news post "Why are so many people black Zhou Xingchi?" completely angered Xiang Tai. She publicly shouted: "Stephen Chow is ungrateful, and the behind-the-scenes of the post is Stephen Chow."
Stephen Chow was filming "Mermaid" at the time and did not express his position on this incident, which also made him the only person in Hong Kong who dared to be "tough" with Huaqiang. Even if the relationship between the two sides is tense, Xiang Huaqiang does not dare to really "move" Stephen Chow, because Stephen Chow has strong supporters behind him, the most significant of which is Han Sanping.
Han Sanping is our country's "first-class director of the main theme film", and all films in the mainland need to be reviewed by Han Sanping. Stephen Chow's movie "Shaolin Football" was also released smoothly with the help of Han Sanping. There are such supporters to support Stephen Chow and make him successfully get out. Although he experienced many twists and turns, Stephen Chow finally created his own brilliance with his tenacity and talent.
However, Stephen Chow's comedy often contains realistic helplessness, which may be related to his experience. Today, the 61-year-old Stephen Chow has become the idol and target of countless filmmakers. Although he is getting older, the classics he created will always be the audience's best memories.
