Liang Xiaolong, the "Fire Cloud Evil God" who once had a dazzling performance in Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu", was recently interviewed by TV producer Yang Shaoxiong, accusing Xing Ye of not knowing how to respect actors, and revealed that the salary of "Kung Fu" is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is pitiful.
75-year-old Liang Xiaolong is a senior martial arts actor, he is both an actor and a martial arts instructor, entered the martial arts industry as a stand-in at the age of 15, and worked as a martial arts instructor at the Shaw Brothers Film Company at the age of 19, and has acted in films such as "Hero Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen".
When Stephen Chow was preparing for "Kung Fu", in addition to auditioning amateur actors, he also found many retired martial arts actors for interviews, including Liang Xiaolong, Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiu and so on.
Facts have proved that Stephen Chow's planning was very successful, the movie "Kung Fu" became a classic, and Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu took over a lot of film and television works after they became popular.
Liang Xiaolong, who played the "strongest thug" in it, also attracted a large number of fans, but he said in an interview that after he finished filming "Kung Fu", he signed a contract with Stephen Chow's company for 3 years, but he was very disappointed.
Liang Xiaolong said that before taking over the filming of "Kung Fu", he had transformed into a business and no longer socialized with friends in the film industry.
However, Stephen Chow took the initiative to come to the door many times, and he seemed to be very sincere, but every time he discussed filming matters, he was put aside because he was busy, which made people feel disrespected.
Liang Xiaolong recalled that Stephen Chow looked for him three times in total.
For the first time, Stephen Chow filmed "New Jingwumen", he called Liang Xiaolong, hoping that the two sides could cooperate, but Liang Xiaolong refused at that time, and Xing Ye said that he would find director Wang Jing to continue to talk with Liang Xiaolong, but in the end it was not done.
The second time, in 2003, Stephen Chow invited Liang Xiaolong to his company to discuss cooperation, Xing Ye asked Liang Xiaolong "Is he really able to fight", and asked him if he would use a sword and a stick, Liang Xiaolong replied that if he was threatened with death, he would use his full potential, and he should be ten times more powerful than Bruce Lee!
When the topic came to this, Stephen Chow paused because he received a call, and since Xing Ye kept talking on the phone, Liang Xiaolong left on his own.
The next day, Stephen Chow continued to call Liang Xiaolong and invited the other party to his company to chat again.
After Liang Xiaolong arrived, Stephen Chow continued to ask the other party if he really knew kung fu, maybe Xing Ye asked too many questions, questioning Liang Xiaolong's ability, which made him a little angry.
Liang Xiaolong, for example, Xing Ye once ridiculed his big belly, saying that he is now "pork Rong", and suspects that he can no longer play after retirement.
At that time, Liang Xiaolong was furious, and he said to Xing Ye, "If I give you face, I want you to lie on the ground for three seconds, and if you don't give face, you will be on the ground for one second." ”
After that, he stood up and kicked casually, making Stephen Chow kneel on the ground, which completely conquered Xing Ye, and Xing Ye immediately decided to find Liang Xiaolong to play the role of "Huoyun Evil God".
In fact, Stephen Chow wrote the real dialogue between the two into the script, and in the play, the first meeting between the Axe Gang and the Huoyun Evil God faithfully reflected the back and forth between Liang Xiaolong and Xingye.
Liang Xiaolong feels disrespected, but from Xing Ye's point of view, everything is for his movies.
Liang Xiaolong refused Stephen Chow's invitation and was so angry that he left immediately.
The third time, Stephen Chow called Liang Xiaolong again a month later, he seemed to forget that Liang Xiaolong had refused to act, he only said one sentence, "Brother Xiaolong, you haven't come to Shanghai yet, you come quickly." ”
Maybe he thinks Stephen Chow is sincere, Liang Xiaolong really went to Shanghai to shoot the movie "Kung Fu".
Liang Xiaolong recalled that he didn't like the appearance of the "Fire Cloud Evil God" very much, and felt that he was scandalized by Stephen Chow, "He will always scandalize others, and as a result, I stayed in the dressing room for 20 days and was embarrassed to go out......"
Before Bruce Leung filmed "Kung Fu", he didn't negotiate a good remuneration with Xing Ye, and the producer had no way to answer him, and finally returned to Hong Kong after filming, and Liang Xiaolong knew that it was originally 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, "I filmed for two months, and I had to shoot every day, from 6 o'clock in the morning to early in the morning, it was overtime, so I gave 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is too cheap." ”
Half a year later, Stephen Chow asked Tian Qiwen to find Liang Xiaolong and signed a contract with Liang Xiaolong for three years with a remuneration of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and Liang Xiaolong agreed to join Stephen Chow's company.
The most amazing thing is that Liang Xiaolong didn't even read the contract clearly when he signed it, because the contract needed to be sealed, and he didn't immediately take his share and stayed in Stephen Chow's company.
In the next year and a half, Stephen Chow's company did not assign a job to Liang Xiaolong, but someone asked Liang Xiaolong to film, and he needed to pay 30% of his salary to the company as a commission.
During that time, Liang Xiaolong took over more than ten films, and he had to pay Stephen Chow's company commission every time, he felt that he was at a loss, and later terminated the contract early.
The funniest thing is that when Liang Xiaolong proposed to terminate the contract, the other party said that he had lost his contract, which made him quite speechless, "I knew that the contract was gone, so I wouldn't give the commission."
Three or four years ago, Stephen Chow invited Liang Xiaolong to his new play, but this time, Liang Xiaolong stopped filming.
In his impression, Stephen Chow NG dozens of times in every scene, the actor is very hard, not to mention that there is less money, even if there is more money, he doesn't want to cooperate with the other party anymore.
Now, Liang Xiaolong is still in the entertainment industry, he has opened an account on the video platform, communicates with fans, and occasionally attends events to make quick money.
Liang Xiaolong himself has two marriages, married singer Li Ailian in 1976, and the two have a daughter Liang Ziwen.
Not long after the marriage lasted, Lai Ailian once complained that she was beaten by her husband, and Leung denied the accusation, but admitted that the two had separated because of differences of opinion due to the other party's long-term use of sleeping pills.
In 1979, Lai Ailian's face was burned in a fire suit by a stranger outside her residence, and the media said that Lai Ailian was retaliated against by Liang Xiaolong's enemies.
Liang Xiaolong paid nearly 4 million Hong Kong dollars for his wife's plastic surgery, and the disfigured Li Ailian unfortunately suffered from depression and begged for death many times, and Liang Xiaolong waited until his wife recovered before officially divorced in 1980.
Liang Xiaolong remarried in 1995, his wife Song Xiang is from the Northeast, 20 years younger than him, the two gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the family of four is very happy.
