When Xu Ke participated in the program in 2013, he was asked by Li Changyu, a well-known criminal investigation expert: Have you ever killed anyone?
Xu Ke did not answer directly, but asked Li Changyu: Did I say that I did not kill you?
Li Changyu then took out the lie detector without hurrying - whether your words are true or false, the lie detector will know as soon as it is measured.
At this time, Xu Ke was so frightened that he sat down in the back.
However, Li Changyu finally gave Xu Ke a step down, and even if he was measured, he only asked some irrelevant questions, after all, this is a variety show and not a detective scene.
But what is Tsui Ke's true nature?
Li Changyu had previously commented on him: very fierce.
This sentence precisely cuts to the essence of Xu Ke, who likes to use very "fierce" means whether he acts or gets along with people.
Originally a Vietnamese, Tsui Ke ran to Hong Kong at the age of 16 because of the war and officially settled in China.
Xu Ke was interested in movies at a very young age, and at the age of 10, he carried a camera to shoot a group of magic shows for his classmates to watch.
In college, I majored in film at the Texas School. Later, he also participated in some film shooting in Chinatown.
All of this laid the foundation for his later film achievements.
Tsui ke himself is very talented, and has shined within a few years of entering Hong Kong TVB, but what matches his talent is his strange personality.
Almost all the big guys who worked with him were intimidated by him.
In 1987, when Xu Ke filmed "The True Colors of Heroes 2", he clashed with the director of the same group, Wu Yusen.
Wu Yusen is a famous Director in Hong Kong, a representative of the aesthetics of violence, who has filmed "Blood And Two Heroes" and the Hollywood blockbuster "Spy in the Spy 2".
But Xu Ke is a very controlling person, and when working with Wu Yusen, he often changes the script and adds new characters privately.
Wu Yusen was not satisfied, he quarreled with the other party, and finally the two tore their faces and broke up.
You must know that when Xu Ke first arrived in Hong Kong and had no door, it was Wu Yusen who pulled him along.
This attitude towards the former nobles shows that he has a tough personality.
Later, when filming "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", because he did not understand the routine of martial arts films, Xu Ke invited the director Hu Jinquan, a senior, to direct.
As a result, he interfered with the scene halfway through, so that Hu Jinquan, who was originally the leader, was completely suspended, forcing Hu Jinquan to quit the crew.
When Hu Jinquan's righteous brother Li Hanxiang learned of this, he scolded Xu Ke: he would rather starve to death than cooperate with Xu Ke.
But to say that Xu Ke has killed people because of his viciousness, then only he himself knows.

If it weren't for Xu Ke, Jet Li would probably have been shot in the street.
In 1992, Jet Li's agent, Cai Ziming, was shot and killed in the street, and a few days later, he asked his brother-in-law to be his agent, and the brother-in-law was hit and killed by a car.
It is said that it was because he quit acting in "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Reliant", which offended the gold lord behind the scenes.
At this critical moment, Xu Ke suddenly appeared and indirectly saved Jet Li.
At that time, the production company Jiahe planned to replace Jet Li and find Zhao Wenzhuo to continue filming on top.
But Xu Ke strongly refused: If the protagonist is not Jet Li, then I simply do not shoot.
So Jiahe had to compromise, find Jet Li at a very high price, and protect his personal safety at all times.
This led to the later Kung Fu Emperor.
However, as a director, he can make a company listen to his orders, why does Xu Ke have such a big voice?
Because he has a powerful backer behind him - his wife Shi Nansheng.
Born into a wealthy family, Shi Nansheng is the eldest lady of a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, and is proficient in business, and founded the "dark horse of the film industry" - New Art City Film Company. He is revered as the big sister of the Hong Kong circle.
Xu Ke was able to change from a newcomer in the entertainment circle who was soft-spoken to a well-known "Xu Laowei" today, which was supported by Shi Nansheng's hand.
Xu Ke first met Shi Nansheng through the introduction of colleagues, although his appearance was not good, he used his talent to make Shi Nan vivid.
The two fell in love soon after they met, so much so that some say they fell in love at first sight.
After Shi Nansheng married Xu Ke, he devoted himself to her husband's career and provided funds for her husband's introduction of contacts.
Later, together with Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Baiming, he founded the film company New Art City.
Since others were only responsible for investment but did not understand management, Shi Nansheng took on the responsibility of running the company alone.
From the operation of funds to the later release, New Art City has operated well under her management.
If Xu Ke is a soldier fighting on the front line, then Shi Nansheng is a strong backing for supply.
Therefore, some people say: Xu Ke can have today's success, and Shi Nansheng's credit accounts for more than half.
It is precisely because of Shi Nansheng as a backing that Xu Ke dared to "act arbitrarily" on the set.
Unfortunately, his marriage was soon shattered by his own indulgence.

Leaving his wife to help Xu Ke, the film is getting worse and worse.
In 2014, Shi Nansheng announced the fact that the two were divorced in an interview.
In fact, the feelings of the two were broken as early as expected.
Since the scandal between Xu Ke and Ye Qianwen in 1993, his relationship with Shi Nansheng has never returned.
Xu Ke also did not restrain himself, and actresses and female assistants hugged him endlessly, which eventually led to the tragedy of divorce.
Since divorcing Shi Nansheng, a strong woman, Xu Ke's situation has deteriorated day by day.
His new films, such as "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "Di Renjie" series, "Journey to the West" series, etc. have all been criticized as "Xu Lang Cai exhausted", and his film depth is far less than the previous "Undefeated in the East" and "Ghost of Qiannu", all of which have become special effects piles.
And he became more and more fond of using small fresh meat, first electric eels and then Lin Xinxin, and even Yang Ying could get a piece of the pie in it, so that some people suspected that he had been kidnapped.
During the film casting process, his roles were often suddenly replaced.
It is said that the Chinese king actor in "Journey to the West" was originally "Lin Zicong", but was later replaced by Bao Bell.
It is likely that the financial lord intervened during this period.
Thinking back decades ago, in order to save Jet Li, he did not hesitate to fall out with Jiahe Company, why would he not dare to speak out under the coercion of the financial lord?
In fact, it is not difficult to guess the divorce storm between him and Shi Nansheng: because of the loss of Shi Nansheng's financial supplies and technical support behind him, he can only bow to money.
Of course, today's Xu Ke is no earlier than in previous years, and his regression is inevitable.
This is also why Jin Yong decided to seal his pen after writing "Deer Ding", because everyone has a day when Jiang Lang is exhausted.
It's just that when Xu Ke's generation of "old rivers and lakes" have all withdrawn from the general environment, I don't know who can take over their class?
