If you want to ask, in Zhou Xingchi's mind, is there a most perfect woman who has made him once want to enter the palace of marriage? The answer is "yes", her name is Luo Huijuan, Zhou Xingchi's love for her is called "Juan Sister", she is Zhou Xingchi's first love girlfriend, but also Zhou Xingchi's lifelong love.
The two secretly had a love affair when they were filming "Gestapo" in 1989. In the play, Zhou Xingchi plays the male protagonist, and Luo Huijuan plays the female protagonist. During the filming process, Zhou Xingchi's serious and responsible attitude towards work deeply attracted Luo Huijuan.
Later, this drama became the work of the two of them. But later, the two broke up, but also because Zhou Xingchi was serious and responsible for his work.
At that time, Luo Huijuan was already a popular flower of TVB, but Zhou Xingchi was in the period when his career was just emerging, so the two did not disclose this relationship.
But not making it public is one thing, and the two get along is another thing, because their love affair, they have no intention of hiding in front of colleagues, which is almost an open secret in the entertainment industry.
Luo Huijuan often went to Zhou Xingchi's crew to visit him, and Zhou Xingchi was also willing to work as a full-time driver for Luo Huijuan.
Once Zhou Xingchi went to the United States to shoot a movie, asked everywhere to buy a big brother, and gave it to Luo Huijuan in order to bring it back.
Later, the two celebrated the New Year together and went to Macao to set off fireworks.
Another time, they went on a trip to Canada together for fourteen days.
The two had these warm interactions, and their feelings warmed up very quickly, and they even had the idea of wanting to get married.
But for the profession of an actor, getting married is something that can have an impact on careers. Therefore, Zhou Xingchi asked the director Liu Zhenwei to hear his opinion on the idea of getting married.
When Liu Zhenwei heard Zhou Xingchi's idea, he felt very incredible, and completely disapproved of his marriage at that time, because that time was the key upward period of Zhou Xingchi's career.
Zhou Xingchi followed Liu Zhenwei's advice. But what is unexpected is that this suspension has made his relationship with Luo Huijuan the biggest regret.
After deciding to postpone marriage, Zhou Xingchi starred in the movie "Gamble Saint" in 1990, and the response after its release was considerable, and Zhou Xingchi's time was almost completely occupied by work.
But at that time, the actors' salaries were very low, so Zhou Xingchi began to try to contact some of the work behind the scenes. After gradually becoming professional, he has a set of his own work mode and style, and the requirements for the arrangement of lines, lighting, props and other arrangements are particularly strict, and he is known as "Taishang Director".
With the help of Liu Zhenwei, Zhou Xingchi finally ushered in the peak of his career. That was in 1992, among the top ten films at the box office, Stephen Chow himself accounted for seven, that year, known as "Chow Sing Chi Year", Chow Xingchi's title of "Star Boy" was also upgraded to "Star Master".
1992 was the "brilliant year" of Stephen Chow's career, but it also became the "gray and dark year" of Stephen Chow's love. Because, he and Luo Huijuan broke up.
Zhou Xingchi's persistent and serious attitude towards work is almost obsessive, so that he will seize every opportunity that helps his work and will not let go, and he does not have the heart to consider the feelings of his girlfriend Luo Huijuan.
Later, Zhou Xingchi interpreted this psychological contradiction in his own movie "Journey to the West", "Wearing a golden hoop can't love you, and putting down a golden hoop can't save you." ”
Compared with Zhou Xingchi, Luo Huijuan's star path is relatively smooth, and she has played the heroine from the moment she debuted. When Zhou Xingchi was still running the dragon set, Luo Huijuan had already entered six figures a month.
But after the two broke up, Luo Huijuan's body, life, and work had great problems.
In 1997, the financial crisis that broke out caused Luo Huijuan to bear huge debts; in 1999, she had an accident while diving and lost her hearing in one ear; from 2000 to 2004, Luo Huijuan suffered from depression, depression and suffering.
In 2008, Luo Huijuan, whose suffering had finally eased, finally did not marry Chow Sing Chi, and her husband was named Liu Zhimin, a Singaporean.
Originally thought that from this point on, Luo Huijuan could enjoy life, but on June 22, 2010, she was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer, and this day also happened to be Zhou Xingchi's birthday.
Zhou Xingchi put aside all other scripts and first made "Journey to the West to Descend the Devil", a movie in which he changed a lyric from "Love of a Lifetime" to "Once upon a time until now, love is still there", using this song. He rushed to work day and night, hoping to let Luo Huijuan see his heart from the movie, but it was still too late.
On June 30, 2012, Luo Huijuan died, and Zhou Xingchi did not go to give her a last trip, but only entrusted someone to send a flower card, and the title of Luo Huijuan on the flower card was no longer "Juan Sister", but was replaced by "Mrs. Liu Luo Huijuan".
Do you think that Zhou Xingchi did not appear at Luo Huijuan's funeral because he put it down?
No, he couldn't put it down.
In the movie "Journey to the West", the line "There has been pain, fang knows the pain of sentient beings; there has been attachment, let go of attachment; there has been worry, there is no worry." This is a realm, and I am just a mortal" is his true expression of Luo Huijuan's death.
He couldn't let go of his past with Luo Huijuan, couldn't let go of his obsession with missing Luo Huijuan, and these worries entangled his life.
But he doesn't speak up, so movies seem to be a unique way for him to pin his emotions. In almost every one of his works, You can find Luo Huijuan's shadow.
Because Luo Huijuan is simple, Zhou Xingchi will look for simple girls when choosing the heroine of the movie.
Luo Huijuan became deaf in 1999, and in Stephen Chow's Kung Fu in 2004, the heroine was a deaf and mute person.
Luo Huijuan once said that she longed to have her own family, get married and have children, and be a good wife and mother, so in "Journey to the West", Miss Duan also has the small ideal of wanting to organize a family and have a little baby.
Luo Huijuan took mermaid photos when she was alive and liked to dive, and Zhou Xingchi filmed "Mermaid", letting the male protagonist accompany the female protagonist to dive together. Luo Huijuan is buried in "Dapeng Bay, Shenzhen", and the place where the mermaid lives in the movie is named "Qingluo Bay", and the address is in Shenzhen. The male protagonist says to the mermaid, "I have everything now, but I am lonely." No one in this world can understand me, except you", which is also what Zhou Xingchi can no longer say to Luo Huijuan.
When asked by a reporter about getting married, he said: "I should not have a chance at my age." ”
Now Star Master is famous all over the world, but he will not be really happy anymore.
