Recently, the news of the remake of "Paladin Legend" has been reported again,
This classic xianxia drama has won the popularity of Hu Ge, Yang Mi and other stars, and is the youth memory of many people.
The Xianjian series can be called a divine drama, not only the main actors have become popular,
Becoming a mainstay of the show business circle, many supporting roles are also remarkable.
Among them, Lin Zicong, who plays Maomao, has a silly and silly image that is very cute,
In order to save everyone's cutting meat for food, the bridge section also earned a lot of tears.
Lin Zicong, who was originally a screenwriter, once became popular by relying on Stephen Chow's films.
Then he rose and fell on the way of the actor and director, and he could not get rid of the influence of the star master.
Lin Zicong has been a big fat boy since he was a child, with a look of meat toot,
When he was a child, his weight was quite normal, and his chubby appearance made people feel very cute.
But as Lin Zicong grew up, his weight began to grow uncontrollably.
Especially by middle school, he was already a 240-pound fat man.
Lin Zicong walked in the school very eye-catching, every time he saw everyone throwing strange eyes,
He felt very embarrassed and wanted to hide.
The more he tried to escape, the more his classmates wanted to tease him.
Lin Zicong became the stupid, fat, and bullied object in the school.
So after middle school, Lin Zicong dropped out of school, and he wanted to work to earn money but unfortunately did not have any special skills.
He wanted to do physical work, but he looked chubby and didn't look very flexible.
I want to go to the restaurant to serve dishes and wash dishes, but I am still not admitted because of my poor image.
Even if a restaurant would use him, it would only give him half of his salary.
Lin Zicong entered the society in advance and began his part-time work career.
Only then did he realize that it was such a hard thing to feed himself.
At that time, TVB was recruiting screenwriters, and Lin Zicong ran to the interview.
Thinking about it is definitely easier than the restaurant.
Maybe it's Lin Zicong's extraordinary talent, full of wild ideas,
Maybe it was that his newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, in short, he was actually admitted,
Became TVB's youngest screenwriter.
Lin Zicong thought that he would have a good life when he entered TVB.
I didn't expect to be poorer, TVB has always been harsh on artists,
Even famous actors can't afford to buy a house and a car with a monthly salary.
Not to mention a fledgling screenwriter like Lin Zicong.
But at that time, Lin Zicong was not yet twenty years old, and he was very happy to do it.
It was also the opportunity to work as a screenwriter at TVB that allowed him to meet the nobleman Stephen Chow.
At that time, Stephen Chow had already created his own nonsense comedy film,
Became a well-known actor, screenwriter and director.
Once Zhou Xingchi came to his show, he also asked Xingye how to make movies.
Zhou Xingchi himself is a person who is not good at communication, and he does not have any good feelings for such a warm Lin Zicong.
But the picture of Lin Zicong accidentally falling into the swimming pool made Zhou Xingchi feel very interesting,
Later, when preparing for "Shaolin Football", he contacted him to audition on the set.
Lin Zicong, who received the call, only had 9 yuan on him, and even taking a taxi to the set was not enough.
He quickly borrowed 100 yuan from a friend, and even thought about inviting everyone to dinner.
In TVB for a few years, I didn't earn money, but I learned a lot.
Xingye naturally did not need Lin Zicong to invite him to dinner, and after the audition, he decided on his role.
However, Lin Zicong's first experience of filming is not good at all,
One of the scenes is of him eagerly eating raw eggs that have fallen from his shoes.
Lin Zicong filmed many times, Zhou Xingchi was not satisfied,
He could only eat raw eggs over and over again, and finally he wanted to vomit when he saw the eggs.
Even such a hard role, as one of the main actors filmed for more than seventy days,
Lin Zicong finally got a salary of only 15,000 yuan, and even the group performances paid by the day were not as good.
Maybe it is Stephen Chow's almost perverted requirements for film shooting,
Coupled with his lack of proficiency in dealing with interpersonal and financial relationships, Zhou Xingchi's popularity has been very poor.
But for Lin Zicong, he never complained,
Being able to study with Star Ye is already a great benefit,
Not to mention that the benefits of this movie are far more than that.
After filming "Shaolin Soccer", Lin Zicong resigned from TVB.
And joined Stephen Chow's company as a screenwriter, and with the big sale of "Shaolin Soccer",
His chubby image was quickly remembered, and the film came and went.
Lin Zicong has starred in several Hong Kong movies in a row,
The salary of each drama is a hundred times that of "Shaolin Football".
At the same time, he also received an invitation from mainland film and television dramas to play Cheng Yaojin in "The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes".
He was also one of the first artists to go north to shoot dramas, which laid a good foundation for him to later move to the mainland.
Three years later, Zhou Xingchi was preparing to make the movie "Kung Fu", when the time of his old partner Wu Mengda was wrong,
In the end, I had to find Lin Zicong of the same company to top.
This is also the first time in more than ten years that Wu Mengda has not appeared in Stephen Chow's movie.
Rumors spread for a while, some people said that the two broke up because of the dispute over interests,
Some people also say that Lin Zicong stole the role of Uncle Da.
Zhou Xingchi has never liked to explain to the outside world, but he did not expect the rumors to come true.
Later, he really never cooperated with Wu Mengda again, and Lin Zicong was also very sorry for this.
In this movie, Lin Zicong is not only an actor,
He was also a co-writer of the film, and he had the idea of making his own film in his head.
But it's never easy to shoot Star Ye's movies, and the same is true of Kung Fu.
Zhou Xingchi looked at Lin Zicong's stomach and said that he was not fat enough.
So Lin Zicong spent a week eating high-calorie food at home every day and then lying in bed without exercising.
A week later, he gained ten pounds, and Zhou Xingchi was satisfied.
This movie once again sent Zhou Xingchi to the peak, and also ushered in the peak of Lin Zicong's career.
He officially started his own directing program.
Lin Zicong's first film work is "Have to Drink Tea", which is a simple and bland love story.
It is completely different from the image presented in his previous works, which surprises and surprises the audience,
At the same time, it has also received support from Andy Lau's 'Asian Nova Guide' program.
The success of the first film brought great confidence to Lin Zicong,
He wrote the script while filming, and two years later shot his second directorial work, "The Fourth Joy".
This play put a lot of effort into Lin Zicong, and he almost lost forty pounds without sleep.
Zhou Xingchi had just finished filming "Yangtze River No. 7" at that time, and he also arranged for many people in the company to help him.
This movie invited Chen Baixiang, Huang Zongze and other well-known film stars to join,
However, it did not bring any surprises, and both word of mouth and box office pounced on the street.
In contrast, the "Yangtze River No. 7" in which he participated was both a word-of-mouth and box office harvest.
Zhou Xingchi switched from the nonsense style to the family line, which made Lin Zicong feel devastated.
Shift your energy to filming again.
As Stephen Chow's works continue to decrease, Lin Zicong has also completely shifted his focus to the mainland.
Then there was the classic "Paladin III",
He also partnered With Chen Haomin to star in the "Living Buddha Jigong" series, he made a lot of money in the mainland.
But Lin Zicong still can't forget his film dream, after several years of precipitation,
He decided to make his own film again.
This time, Lin Zicong invited Huo Jianhua, who had cooperated in the Immortal Sword,
The heroine is Jing Tian, who is known for her beauty, and Jing Tian's company is also a production company.
This "Time-Out Rescue Soldier" once again shattered Lin Zicong's dream of directing,
The film was rated just 4.8, while the film only grossed a few million.
The male protagonist is a popular actor, and the female protagonist is his own artist,
The production side was very dissatisfied with such a dismal box office, and could only give gas to director Lin Zicong.
Deliberately defaulting on various payments to him, Lin Zicong had to use his savings to advance money.
Lin Zicong's tens of millions of dollars in filming for many years have lost almost overnight,
At the same time, he also lost the reputation of his director, and Lin Zicong could only go to filming again to make money.
However, the market is constantly changing, and the exposure of Stephen Chow's films is missing.
Lin Zicong's commercial value has also been declining, and the scripts that look for him to shoot are becoming less and less.
And his health is getting worse and worse, and he once fainted on the set due to heart problems,
His body no longer allowed him to shoot day and night.
In order to live, Lin Zicong went to receive a lot of low-end online game advertisements,
It often pops up when surfing the Internet, causing many people to dislike.
At the same time, he also has to participate in a large number of variety shows to increase his exposure,
But these programs always like to ask about Stephen Chow for their own popularity.
Some even maliciously edited, creating a contradiction between Lin Zicong and Zhou Xingchi,
The matter of his low salary of fifteen thousand was deliberately misinterpreted as his dissatisfaction with Xingye.
Lin Zicong had to explain over and over again that he had never been dissatisfied with Zhou Xingchi.
He left Xinghui because the company currently has no new works.
However, Lin Zicong's explanation was always weak, and he was once again labeled ungrateful.
Lin Zicong has always been very grateful to Zhou Xingchi,
Zhou Xingchi also knew this, so when filming "The Mermaid", he was asked to be a screenwriter again.
For this opportunity Lin Zicong is very cherished,
On set, he didn't go to the hospital for two kidney stone attacks.
Because he didn't know when he would be able to cooperate with Star Ye again after this time,
He didn't dare to waste a day until he went to the hospital for surgery.
Zhou Xingchi's later works are indeed getting less and less, and Lin Zicong has not given up his dream of directing.
He later wrote and directed the comedy film "Laughing Forest Football" and invited friends such as Su Jianxin and Chen Haomin to join.
This movie is full of nonsense comedy, and it feels like a tribute to the star lord in terms of subject matter and form.
But Stephen Chow's nonsense comedy is something that no one can surpass.
Lin Zicong's ambitious works did not cause much repercussions.
Since then, Lin Zicong has once again fallen into a career trough, and neither actors nor directors can see his figure.
After Wu Mengda's death, Lin Zicong posted a group photo of the filming of "Shaolin Football" in the circle of friends that year.
At that time, Xingye did not have gray hair, and Wu Mengda did not have any pain.
He is still a little fat man who doesn't know anything, but unfortunately, now he is no longer human.
Lin Zicong could only defend the two sides, Uncle Da and Xingye had never been friends.
I have to sigh that the film industry has achieved a star master, but it has dimmed many people.
