As a bright star in the Hong Kong film industry, Chow Yun-fat has made outstanding achievements on the road of acting with his impeccable acting skills. Many of his film works, such as "The True Color of Heroes", "Dragon and Tiger" and "The True Story of A Fei", have been praised as classics by audiences and film critics, thus demonstrating his profound acting skills.
However, it is deeply regrettable that his moral character is often questioned and criticized by the public, and even regarded as a "two-faced man".
In response to Chow Yun-fat's evaluation, the public always seems to present a completely different polarization phenomenon, on the one hand, full of praise for his superb acting skills, and on the other hand, scorning his behavior.
Some fans bluntly pointed out: "Chow Yun-fat's acting skills are first-class, but as soon as he speaks, people feel disgusted" Another fan said: "His image on the screen is righteous and awe-inspiring, but his behavior behind the screen seems obscene" It can be seen that all walks of life have mixed evaluations of his behavior as a "two-faced person".
So, what is the reason for this superstar in the film industry, who has shaped countless classic film and television masterpieces, into such an embarrassing "two-faced" dilemma? Looking back on Chow Yun-fat's series of negative news such as harassment and playing big names, we may be able to find the answer from it.
For example, during filming, he repeatedly harassed other actors, raising doubts about his character. Moreover, in the process of working with the producer, he frequently made unreasonable demands, had an arrogant and rude attitude, and showed a "big name" demeanor, which made people feel that he was a self-centered and empty-eyed person.
What's more serious is that he once openly insulted actress Li Zhi, and even caused the latter to fall into despair for a while, and the idea of quitting the entertainment industry is all revealed, Chow Yun-fat is indeed a "two-faced person" in terms of moral character.
In the face of strong condemnation from public opinion, Chow Yun-fat himself had to admit: "Maybe my personality is flawed." "Regardless, we should still acknowledge his outstanding contribution to the film industry, rather than focusing too much on his private life.
As one film critic put it: "As long as he puts his heart and soul into the filming, he does his job dutifully, and it doesn't matter what kind of person he is in private."
Looking back at Chow Yun-fat's upbringing, we can find that his love for luxury cars seems to have originated from a special childhood memory.
Looking back on the past, Chow Yun-fa was born poor when he was young, and he had to become a wage earner who washed cars. However, out of ignorance of the car's common sense, he mistakenly thought that the leather seats in the car could also be washed with water just like the exterior of the car.
One day, when he was wiping down a limousine with all his strength with a rag in hand, there was a wave of merciless ridicule around him. The reason was that his clumsy behavior angered the owner and attracted ridicule from everyone.
The experience had a deep trauma on Chow Yun-fat's young mind, and he felt ashamed and ashamed. Since then, he has taken this profound lesson to heart and has developed a strong interest in luxury cars.
Whenever he saw a luxury car, he would involuntarily recall the humiliation, and his heart was full of yearning for the same car.
So, with his excellent acting skills and unwavering perseverance, this young man from a poor background fought bravely in the entertainment industry and finally climbed to the pinnacle of the Hong Kong film industry.
However, just as his career was in full swing, some of his bad behaviors gradually surfaced, and the past that made him difficult to let go of seemed to have become the fuse of his behavior, which aroused widespread doubts and condemnation from all walks of life.
During the filming process, Chow Yun-fat's misconduct with other actors was exposed many times, causing strong public dissatisfaction.
The first is the harassment incident when he was working with Maggie Cheung. According to people familiar with the matter, whenever a scene that requires a kiss is filmed, although the director has shouted "card", Chow Yun-fat has always gritted his teeth and refused to let go, resulting in Maggie Cheung often having to do her best to push her away.
This move undoubtedly brought huge psychological pressure and physical discomfort to the woman.
What's more serious is that at the press conference of the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", in the face of many media and staff, Chow Yun-fat openly hugged the heroine Gong Li tightly from behind, completely ignoring Gong Li's fierce resistance and obvious embarrassing expression at that time.
Everyone at the scene was stunned by this amazing move, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing.
Looking back at Chow Yun-fat's early classic works, it is not difficult to find that his harassment of women seems to have already been revealed. In the famous open-ended comedy film "Modern Call Girl" in which he starred, Chow Yun-fat played a romantic habitual offender character, and boldly stretched out his hands to the heroine Zhong Chuhong without fear, which made Zhong Chuhong have to moan in horror.
Although they later realized the inappropriateness of the behavior and immediately stopped moving, the scene still sparked widespread controversy and criticism.
In the face of many accusations and doubts, Chow Yun-fat himself has never made a clear response, as if he acquiesced in the existence of these behaviors. Some critics have bluntly pointed out that this kind of behavior has seriously violated the basic dignity of women, and in the entertainment industry, which is known as the "semi-naked industry", such behavior is absolutely intolerable.
As a well-respected veteran movie star, Chow Yun-fat undoubtedly needs to deeply reflect and revise his words and deeds.
In addition to harassing other actors, Chow Yun-fat also made some unreasonable demands on the director and producer many times during the filming process, with an arrogant and rude attitude, which can be called a typical "big-name star" style.
One of the most striking events was the bitter conflict that erupted in 2003 between him and the well-known producer Zhang Weiping. According to Cheung Wai-ping, Chow Yun-fat's personal character is really worrisome, and he often puts on a show, acts self-centeredly, and does not take into account the feelings of others.
At that time, Zhang Weiping specially invited Andy Lau, the leading superstar in Hong Kong and the mainland, to join for this new film, and paid a sky-high salary of more than 4 million yuan.
However, just as the contract was about to be signed, Chow Yun-fat suddenly made a series of unreasonable demands, including that he must be provided with a limousine for him to ride in every day, as well as a private bathroom dedicated to him.
Although the production team thought that these requirements were too demanding, they had no choice but to compromise in order to ensure that the blockbuster film could be launched smoothly. What is laughable is that throughout the filming process, Andy Lau did not care about these two so-called "privileges", never used the luxury car, and only used the private bathroom in a few cases.
In contrast, Chow Yun-fat frequently took advantage of these special treatments and lived a standard "star" luxury life.
Obviously, Director Zhang's original intention of inviting Andy Lau to join him was to use his super popularity and influence to promote this film, so as to obtain more lucrative box office revenues.
However, to everyone's surprise, his elaborate strategy ended in failure! This incident was not only a waste of expensive salary, but more importantly, it sowed the seeds of irreconcilable contradictions between Zhou and Liu.
What's even more distressing is that during the filming of the movie "Red Cliff", Chow Yun-fat actually made nearly 100 unreasonable requests to the crew, covering everything from accommodation to food, which is simply an insatiable and unsatisfying state.
In the face of the producer's resolute refusal, he actually put all the responsibility on his agent and wife Chen Huilian, claiming that these were all proposed by her when she signed the contract and had nothing to do with him.
Such irresponsible and irresponsible behavior has sparked strong condemnation from both inside and outside the industry.
Some critics bluntly pointed out that this is the typical style of the so-called "big-name stars", whose attitude towards the world is arrogant and arrogant, and there is no professionalism at all. As a veteran movie star, Chow Yun-fat should have set a good example for the younger generation, rather than taking such bad behavior.
In a series of scandals involving Chow Yun-fat, it was undoubtedly his old partner Lee Chi who was hurt the most. In the past, they were close friends who talked about everything, and they were also tacit partners, working together in the film industry and creating many classics together.
However, just when people are convinced of their friendship, Chow Yun-fat makes a series of jaw-dropping hurtful acts, which finally makes Li Zhi almost want to leave the entertainment industry that broke her heart.
It all started with a concert. At that time, Li Zhi attended the singing as a special guest, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
This astonishing act is undoubtedly a blatant humiliation and insult to Li Zhi. What's even more shocking is that after Chow Yun-fat completed this evil act, he even loudly called other staff and friends at the scene to watch this "good show" together.
Almost at that moment, the atmosphere of the entire venue fell into an embarrassing freezing point, and Li Zhi immediately fled the scene because of extreme embarrassment and pain.
This incident undoubtedly brought heavy psychological trauma to Lizhi. According to insiders, for a long time after that, Li Zhi fell into a deep despair of life and career, and even considered quitting the entertainment industry for a while, staying away from this industry that made her exhausted.
It was only under the strong guidance and severe persuasion of relatives and friends that this lady finally chose to let go of the emotional entanglements and troubles that had become a thing of the past. What's even more jaw-dropping is that during the production of the film "Tiger Roar", which they participated in filming, Chow Yun-fat once again made a series of unbelievably bad acts! In view of the fact that the plot setting involves a large number of fierce fight scenes in which Chow Yun-fat teaches Li Zhi a lesson, in order to ensure the personal safety of actress Li Zhi, the director decisively decided to use the method of misplaced shooting to resolve this problem.
However, it is surprising that Chow Yun-fat openly opposed this decision, insisting on the use of live-action shooting, and claiming that only in this way can the most flawless cinematic effect be presented! In the end, the crew could only reluctantly comply with his wishes, and Li Zhi was always covered with shocking bruises and redness after the filming of every fight scene, and what is even more intolerable is that during the long time that Li Zhi needed to be hospitalized for five months to recuperate, Chow Yun-fat never took the initiative to visit her, and did not even show the slightest sense of regret In the face of this series of ironclad facts, public opinion has accused Chow Yun-fat of being too self-centered and completely ignoring the feelings of others, which can be called typicalAlthough the deep friendship between the two artists on the screen is nostalgic, the various performances in real life make people feel disappointed and sad.
