Zhou Xingchi's "Chang Wei", who does not know martial arts in the movie, went to the Olympic Games?
Recently, an action of twisting the neck of the Olympic men's ring champion Liu Yang during the competition was fired out of the circle: netizens have discussed that the champion, whether in expression or action, is actually very similar to the classic villain "Chang Wei" in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Nine Pin Sesame Officer".
Some people laughed and said: When I turned on the TV, I saw that "Chang Wei" was pulling the hanging ring and took a gold medal, which was more exciting.
Jokes are jokes, I didn't expect that Olympic champion Liu Yang and "Chang Wei", the actor Zou Zhaolong, who is 54 years old this month, actually came to an air interaction, and also shook his head at the same time to compete with who is more fierce.
As a result, after the genuine "Changwei" was launched, our champion immediately became a small movie fan, smiling cutely.
Liu Yang has long clarified that he did not deliberately make such expressions and actions in the game, but actually wanted to show self-confidence, but his performance was not perfect because of the thumb cramps.
However, it is also because of Liu Yang's unintentional move, Zou Zhaolong is afraid that he can no longer deny that he is the actor of "Chang Wei", 24 years after the release of the movie, Zou Zhaolong "broke the defense" for the first time, rubbing the role heat with the aura of the Olympic champion.
In the past, the name Zou Zhaolong was mentioned, which was almost equivalent to "villain professional household", and was often ridiculed by netizens: look at the face to know that it is not a good person.
However, few people know that Zou Zhaolong, who cannot play martial arts roles in many plays, is actually the chief disciple openly admitted by the big brother of the film industry, Hong Jinbao, with the usual undervalued real kung fu and acting skills, and even in Hollywood has already occupied a place.
Although he has not succeeded in joining the ranks of first-line kung fu superstars such as Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan and Jet Li, Zou Zhaolong also has an extraordinary legendary experience.
Zou Zhaolong was born in Taiwan, due to the poor family from childhood, 6 years old came out to work, first went to the wood carving shop to do 3 years of small work, 9 years old and ran to the bakery as an apprentice, 3 years and 3 years later, 12-year-old Zou Zhaolong accidentally saw the film company to hire someone, he went to apply for a martial arts substitute, so he began his career on the mixed set to live.
Stunned as the same age, not much will come, then Zou Zhaolong thought most of the time is to work more and make more money, no longer have to worry about hunger ... From morning to night, Zou Zhaolong slowly learned taekwondo, Muay Thai and various fighting skills, constantly refreshing his life-seeking skill points.
After another 6 years, Zou Zhaolong seemed to be hit by a pie on the road, and Hong Jinbao took a look at this small person on the set and arranged for him to star in the movie "Full Rebound".
Zou Zhaolong was bitter and turned into a kung fu newcomer in the entertainment industry.
In 1988, Zou Zhaolong went to Hong Kong to develop, and joined Hong Jinbao's Hong Jia class, becoming the first apprentice officially announced by the big brother of the film industry.
Speaking of this, I have to mention one thing, Zou Zhaolong's original name was Zou Longyun, and after getting acquainted with Hong Jinbao, he was given the stage name Ni Xing, but after going around for so many years, I believe most people still only remember a "Chang Wei".
Of course, after getting to know Hong Jinbao, Zou Zhaolong initially got the male protagonist script. It is said that the eldest brother has the heart to praise him, and successively opened several plays for Zou Zhaolong from 1989 to 1993, including "Street of Fire", and even used Qian Xiaohao, who had already become popular with zombie films, to foil him.
It can only be said that sometimes being popular is a lack of so much luck, and it is not that everything will go as desired.
Fortunately, Zou Zhaolong, who was obsessed with the kung fu world, did not collapse because of this, relying on Hong Jinbao, a nobleman, he met another kung fu emperor, Jet Li, and did not expect to suddenly achieve his own villain world.
Especially in the 1994 film with Li Lian's outstanding performance, Zou Zhaolong brilliantly interpreted a half-mad villain, which left a deep impression on many fans.
At that time, for the first time in the industry, there was a person who knew that in front of Jet Li, the omnipotent kung fu emperor, there was such a person who could bear and fight with him.
Since then, from "Letter to Daddy", "Adventure King", "Detective No Two" to "The King of Kung Fu", Zou Zhaolong has relied on Jet Li's identity as the best partner to push himself to the position of the most capable actor in the villain.
Although in the same year, he successively filmed Jet Li action movies and Zhou Xingchi's movie "Nine Pin Sesame Officers", Zou Zhaolong still tasted popularity because of the latter, which was like a thorn in his heart, and he was unwilling to admit the role of "Chang Wei" for many years.
After playing so many villains, he has an obsession with this role, and Zou Zhaolong's seemingly contradictory mentality is actually not difficult to understand: he has not read many books since he was a child, and he has made some achievements on his own, and perhaps some people who have learned martial arts should bring everyone a righteous psychology.
A character eats for a lifetime, which is something that many insiders can't ask for. The bystanders could not understand Zou Zhaolong's inexplicable Qinggao, but he quickly calmed down the doubts in the circle with his actions.
Around 2000, Zou Zhaolong joined the Hollywood "The Matrix" crew and starred in "The Matrix 2" 3 years later.
It is said that at that time, the film side intended to invite Jet Li to join, but the two sides did not talk about the issue of film remuneration, and then Yuan Heping, a martial arts instructor who had long been famous in Hollywood, thought of Zou Zhaolong, who was studying in the United States, and invited him to participate in the design of the film martial arts while completing the shooting work.
What is worthy of Zou Zhaolong's pride is that as long as "The Matrix" continues to be released and broadcast, even if he does not work now, he can get a certain proportion of dividends.
Zou Zhaolong has personally admitted in public that even if he dies, his children can continue to receive film royalties, even higher than the film he paid that year.
Although he has won a lot of dramas with this classic Hollywood movie, Zou Zhaolong is still the "outlier" that people could not understand in the past. He said that no matter how many villains are played in China, it does not matter, but once a Western film is made, it represents the image of the Chinese, and no matter how much money is given, it will not do (play) the role of slandering the image of the Chinese.
Because of Zou Zhaolong's eye-catching performance in front of and behind the scenes of the "Matrix" series of movies, there are rumors that he also belongs to the "Purple Micro Star of Heaven" level among martial arts stars, and in the case of completely unskilled kung fu, he can attract the attention of the film company by playing a set of fists with his bare hands.
It is undeniable that the 6-year martial arts career on the set has built a bridge between Zou Zhaolong and the nobleman Hong Jinbao, but it cannot erase the efforts and efforts behind this tough guy.
Zou Zhaolong, who came out to work at the age of 6, began to practice basic skills and play Wing Chun piles at an age when he should have been a child... Therefore, after he became famous, he faced doubts, and only then did he have the courage to half-ridicule and say such cruel words as "Zhen Zidan is not my opponent".
Today, at the age of 54, he still maintains a very good body posture, as well as kung fu punches and kicks, and continues to win the love of many audiences, especially male audiences.
It is said that men are always teenagers, in fact, look at Zou Zhaolong, from the early years of the set workers to the mediocre villains, even if they break into the eye-catching place like Hollywood... He has never changed the blood in his heart.
It is enough for others to remember his star status, to remember the movies and roles he has given, and to remember the world's best player on the screen.
Zou Zhaolong, this time he was able to unexpectedly go out of the circle at the Olympic Games, precisely because many viewers have always had him in their hearts.
