Stephen Chow's unique comedic vision has created many famous stars now, and in his eyes, there is only one requirement for actors.
It may be that his many years of dragon set career, so that Zhou Xingchi's works often appear some unfamiliar faces in the entertainment industry, but Zhou Xingchi can play their characteristics to the extreme.
Released in 2013, Stephen Chow's work Journey to the West to Descend the Devil was released, a film that tells the story of Tang Sanzang before he became a Buddha, and is deeply loved by the audience. At the same time, one of the group actors in it successfully attracted the attention of the audience, she is Zhang Mei'e.
Zhang Mei'e was already 61 years old at the time, and she played the maid of the virtual bamboo prince in it. Our traditional impression of handmaidens is graceful, young and lively. But this humble bamboo prince did the opposite, found a group of old pearls and yellow women as his maids, and matched his kidney deficiency feeling, it was a perfect match.
Zhang Mei'e's original lines in the movie did not have these few words, but during the filming process, her on-the-spot performance was valued by Stephen Chow and found it very interesting, which became the version we saw in the movie.
This incident also made Zhou Xingchi notice the older mother-in-law, and invited Zhang Mei'e to play a fish in the subsequent work "Mermaid". In these two works, Zhang Mei'e's shots and lines are pitifully rare, but her every appearance makes the audience shine.
Zhang Mei'e also embarked on the climax of her career because of these two works, and many programs and works have invited Teacher Zhang Mei'e, and her fame is also getting bigger and bigger in the entertainment industry.
After Zhang Mei'e became popular, many people who fought hard in Hengdian like her also went to her to see how she succeeded. Unexpectedly, Teacher Zhang Mei'e was training her own performance. So her success is not only lucky but also the effort she puts behind her back.
Zhang Mei'e said that she did not expect to be favored by Zhou Xingchi, and the money earned from filming these two plays has been exchanged for two houses, a total of about hundreds of thousands. Seeing this, I have to say that Xingye is really generous, I don't know if Xingye's next play is still lacking in group performances, I can.
