Zhou Xingchi's three words can be said to be basically unknown to everyone in China.
However, because the era of Star Ye's activity has passed a long time ago, and he has not been an actor for more than ten years, some people think that his reputation is only followed by others.
There are even appearances such as "Without Shi Banyu's voiceover, what is he Zhou Xingchi?" " statement.
Well, this time the old race will talk about it, and see what kind of existence the star master who "does not have Shi Banyu's voice" is.
First of all, Hong Kong is certainly one of the most developed areas of the Asian film market in the last century.
It reached its peak in the 80s and 90s.
Many people have heard that the Hong Kong movies of that year were monopolized by the double Monday Cheng (Chow Yun Fat, Chow Sing Chi, Jackie Chan), but what is the specific situation, how strong their dominance is, many people may not be able to say.
So, let's go back in time to 1986.
In Hong Kong this year, Chow Yun-fat began to exert his strength, starring Jackie Chan with "The True Colors of Heroes", and "Fuxing Gaozhao", which originally ranked first in the box office in the history of Hong Kong films, defeated and won the crown of No.1.
Fa Ge officially launched a two-male duel with Jackie Chan.
In 1987, Jackie Chan won back the throne of the first place in film history with "Brother Dragon and Brother Tiger", and his "Plan A 2" also entered the top five in film history.
Zhou Runfa's "Prison Storm" also won the third position in film history.
At this time, in the top five Hong Kong film box office, Jackie Chan occupied three seats and Chow Yun Fat occupied two seats.
The two big brothers fight, and the rest of the little brothers can only stand back.
In 1988, Chow Yun Fat's "Eight Stars annunciation" took away the first position in film history, and the films of Jackie Chan and Fa Ge can be said to be the first in Hong Kong in turn.
At the same time, Jackie Chan's "Police Story Sequel" and "Flying Dragon" have also entered the top ten of film history.
The top ten lists are Jackie Chan 5 seats and Zhou Runfa 3 seats.
By 1989, Fa Ge's "God of Gamblers" entered the second place in film history, and Jackie Chan still maintained 5 seats.
At this time, the top ten Hong Kong movies were 5 Jackie Chan and 4 Fa Ge.
Here has always been mentioned Fa Ge and Jackie Chan, mainly to let everyone understand how strong the dominance of these two big brothers was in that era.
In asia's most prosperous region of entertainment, the two divided the film industry equally, what a brilliant achievement, right?
However, after Zhou Xingchi came out, what happened?
In 1990, the first time the movie starring Star Ye made its power, it directly came to a double king explosion.
"Gamblers" and "Gamblers" directly took the top two places at the Hong Kong box office.
Fa Ge and Jackie Chan are very strong, but when they meet Xingye, they can only run to the third place to stand outside, and Zhou Xingchi's strength basically announces the end of Zhou Cheng's double male era.
The era after 1990 is called the era of nonsense.
In 1991, Stephen Chow's "Truant Veyron" broke his record and entered the first place in film history.
At this time, the top three are all Star Ye's movies.
It is said to be a double week, but sorry, the top three belong to one of the weeks.
In 1992, Zhou Xingchi's "Death Judge", "Deer DingJi", "Happy Affair at Home", and "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" all entered the top ten in film history.
At this time, the Hong Kong area, known as the Hollywood of the East and the entertainment center of Asia, Zhou Xingchi single-handedly dominated the seven seats in the top ten of the box office in the history of the film, and this dominance was unmatched by anyone, even Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat at the peak.
In 1993, due to the beginning of Hollywood blockbusters, "Jurassic Park" took the first place in film history, but Star Ye still maintained 7 seats in the top ten miles, unchanged.
In the years that followed, Zhou Xingchi passed his peak and basically returned to the same level as Fa Ge And Jackie Chan, and the three took turns to resist the impact of Hollywood movies on the Hong Kong market.
It's just a pity that after the "Titanic" came out in 1997, the death penalty of Hong Kong films was basically completely announced, but this is a digression.
What is Zhou Xingchi without Shi Banyu's voice?
Count a star who can completely dominate The Hollywood of the East, and count a film actor who is stronger than Jackie Chan and Zhou Runfa at his peak.
Zhou Xingchi has achieved these achievements because he is Zhou Xingchi, not because there is a person named Shi Banyu to voice him.
Shi Banyu dubbed Xingye, and the biggest role was to expand his influence, so that Xingye's nonsense style could spread to the whole country.
Here I also have to say that Shi Banyu is indeed very well matched, if there is no him, whether Star Ye's movie fans can spread all over the country, it is really difficult to say, maybe it can, maybe not.
But in the final analysis, it is also the film excellence of Xingye itself, Shi Banyu's voice is the icing on the cake after all, and the real soul is always the person named Zhou Xingchi.
The merits of the heroes deserve praise, but they should not be noisy, and they should be clear about the priorities.
Without Shi Banyu, Stephen Chow would not have had as much influence in the country, but his brilliant achievements in dominating the Hong Kong film market would never change, and he would still be a heavyweight in the film industry.
But without Zhou Xingchi, how many people would remember the name Shi Banyu now?
