Recently, actor Lin Yun posted a group of old photos of Zhou Xingchi when he was young on the social platform, and wrote in the text: "Happy birthday to the handsome and cute boss." ”
It turned out that the time flickered, and "Zhou Xingxing", who had laughed at countless viewers, was 59 years old.
Looking at Lin Yun's picture, young Zhou Xingchi, with a funny nonsense, I have a lot of thoughts.
Zhou Xingchi movies that have been watched countless times appear in my mind, and the girls who have been "favored" by Zhou Xingchi one by one, and the "star girls" who have cooperated with Zhou Xingchi many times, have also flashed one after another.
Lin Yun, the "Mermaid" who has been celebrating Zhou Xingchi for 6 consecutive years, Huang Shengyi, who is pure and moving, Zhang Yuqi, who is gentle and kind, and Xu Jiao, who dresses as a man, in "The King of New Comedy", is working hard...
They are all well known to the public by starring in Stephen Chow's film works. But to some extent, these "star girls" of the new era have not been highly recognized by the majority of Zhou Xingchi fans.
Because in the hearts of many viewers who grew up watching Stephen Chow's films, the real "Star Girl" has always existed only in the 1990s, the glorious period of Stephen Chow's nonsense films.
"Chou Xingchi of iron, star girl of flowing water" is a high affirmation of the influence of Zhou Xingchi's circle in that period, and it is also a nostalgia for the peak of Chou Xingchi's nonsense film, every classic "star girl".
In those years, they left the most beautiful years to Zhou Xingchi, engraved in the frames and paintings of Zhou Xingchi's films, and also printed in the minds of every audience.
At the age of 19, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong contest and withdrew from the final, but with a good face and proud figure, she signed a high-profile contract with TVB and became one of the actresses who were highly praised, taking the pure and lively route.
In "Deer Ding", the eccentric Princess Jianning. In "The Whole Trick Expert", it is clear that you can rely on beauty, but you can be funny with Zhou Xingchi.
Saying that Qiu Shuzhen is a "star girl" may be questioned, after all, she is a gem that Wang Jing was polished from PuYu. But it is undeniable that Qiu Shuzhen and Zhou Xingchi really match in the movie.
Her funny talent can be said to be maximized in Stephen Chow's nonsense films.
From the scene where she "cooks rice" with Wei Xiaobao in "Deer Ding", it can be seen that Qiu Shuzhen is naturally suitable for playing with Zhou Xingchi, and the funny style has no sense of violation.
Even if it is a sexy route in the later stage, the gentle and kind water lotus that starred in "Counting Dead Grass", although the role is not much, it is also impressive.
Delicate, funny, beautiful, pure, gentle and sexy, Qiu Shuzhen can easily control these different styles of characters in Stephen Chow's films.
Compared with other "Star Girls" and Zhou Xingchi's cooperation, Qiu Shuzhen's number of times may not be much, but her role image in each film is impressive, which is the charm of Stephen Chow's films and her own strength.
Today, after marrying Shen Jiawei in 1999, she quit the film industry and was at ease with her husband and daughter at home. Occasionally appearing in the public eye, it is still a lament that "heaven favors Qiu Shuzhen".
To discuss Zhang Min in stephen Chow's film world, we must call her "Qi Meng", because this is the woman who Chow "thinks about" in both films, and it is also the star girl that Stephen Chow has kissed the most in many films.
At the age of 18, Zhang Min was signed by Xiang Tai Chen Lan at a glance and became a female artist praised by Yongsheng Film Company. At that time, she was fresh and beautiful, like a clean jade lotus independent of the pool surface, maundy but not demon.
Under the blessing of the company's resources, Zhang Min always fails to reach the real sense of the fire. Until she met "Gamble Saint", she cooperated with a once-in-a-century comedy genius Stephen Chow.
This movie not only made Stephen Chow. She has also become one of the most classic roles in Zhang Min's acting career, and she has also been named one of the "Top Ten Sexy Beauties in Hong Kong".
It has become an unforgettable "Dream" in the hearts of countless Hong Kong film fans.
Since then, the two have begun to cooperate in one classic film after another. "Best Son-in-Law", "Truant Weilong" series, "Deer Ding" series, "Gambler", "Nine Pin Sesame Officer", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" and so on.
Someone once did statistics: from 1988 to 1994, Zhang Min has been the heroine of Chow Sing Chi movies 11 times, and there are two friendship cameos.
For Zhang Min in that period, people who like to watch Hong Kong movies should be impressed. Whether it is funny, sexy, or simple, tragic roles, she is always radiant in Stephen Chow's films.
Even Zhou Xingchi once praised: "Among the actors who cooperate, Zhang Min is the most beautiful, like the lover in his dreams." ”
Her most deeply rooted image is the "Purple Xia Fairy" in "Journey to the West" with Zhou Xingchi; her most widely circulated scandal is also a three-year underground love affair with Zhou Xingchi.
At the age of 20, she collaborated with Stephen Chow on her first film ,Truant Veyron 2.' In the film, she reveals the shyness and agility of a young girl everywhere, and is not pretentious.
With the image of this delicate girl, she also smoothly opened Zhu Yin's star path.
The role of Huang Rong in the later filming of "The Legend of the Archery Hero" has also made her recognized by many people. But as I said at the beginning, the most classic role in Zhu Yin's acting career is still the "Purple Xia Fairy" in "Journey to the West" who dares to love and hate, is delicate and free, and dumps all sentient beings.
Among the "sentient beings" who are dumped are the "supreme treasures" who are wearing golden armor and stepping on the auspicious clouds in the film.
Zhou Xingchi, a very attractive and romantic and amorous man. Zhu Yin, an infatuated woman who is delicate and charming. The two people fell in love because of the drama and began an underground relationship for 3 years.
It's like love in "Journey to the West".
In reality, Zhu Yin, who also dares to love and hate, has paid a lot of tears and true feelings in this relationship. And what Zhou Xingchi can give her, but like the supreme treasure in the film, there are too many unavoidable.
After 3 years of underground love, Zhou Xingchi's career is still unable to meet Zhu Yin's seemingly simple request of "blessed and bright love".
Later, although the relationship was exposed, the two people who looked so matched still could not come together. Or maybe because of this, the two never worked together since they broke up.
Today, Zhu Yin has become a wife and mother, and she has always been very happy when she marries Huang Guanzhong. The infatuated Purple Xia Fairy can also be regarded as waiting for the person who is interested in stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds, and has no regrets.
The year she starred in Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy", Cecilia Cheung was only 18 years old. In the film, she is sometimes simple and green and sometimes charming, and the role of Liu Piaopiao, I don't know how many people are fascinated by it.
Because Yin Tianqiu said, "I raise you", first a look back, and then turned to crying in the taxi.
This scene is still an unforgettable classic section in Stephen Chow's films, and even Stephen Chow once praised her, "In terms of acting, she is a genius who has not met in a hundred years." ”
Among the many "star girls" in the last century, she is the one who has starred in Chow Sing Chi's films the least. Even if you count the cameo appearance with Karen Mok in "Shaolin Soccer", it is only two.
But compared to others, Cecilia Cheung is more qualified to be called a "star girl".
On the one hand, this is the first film work directed by Stephen Chow and Lee Li-chi; on the other hand, this film is also regarded as an autobiography of Stephen Chow's acting career, so Cecilia Cheung's identity is of great significance. Another point is that Cecilia Cheung is really popular with her first appearance in Stephen Chow's movie.
After cecilia Cheung, although she did not star in Stephen Chow's films, through the popularity of "Liu Piaopiao", she has successively received a number of high-quality scripts and created many classic roles.
The female nurse Qiu Nan in "Star Wish", the most affectionate Liu Yue'e in "Hedong Lion Roar", etc., were once called "Xiaolin Qingxia" and "the new generation of jade female leaders".
However, after being eaten by God's reward, after divorcing Xie Tingfeng, she gradually embarked on the road of self-release, gradually destroying the reputation of "Liu Piaopao" and breaking a good hand of cards.
Now when it comes to her, in addition to the "good mother" personality, there is always a label of "playing big names, willfulness, disengagement, and lying", even if you participate in "Sister Lang 2", it has not changed the impression of everyone.
That "Willow Fluttering" seems to have only stayed in "The King of Comedy", in the morning breeze, wrapped in Yin Tianqiu's ordinary and worn-out blue striped shirt, looking out at the sea.
Unconsciously wrote a lot, I planned to write about Mo Wenwei again, after all, she has starred in many films such as "Journey to the West", "Night of the Soul", "God Eater" and so on, and the friendship between them is indeed a topic that cannot be ignored whenever Zhou Xingchi is mentioned.
There is also Yuan Yongyi, who cooperated with Stephen Chow on "Domestic Lingling Paint", as well as Wu Junru and others, who have an irreplaceable position in Chow's film world.
Space is limited, so let's write their stories next time.
Whether written or not, these once prosperous beauties have played the most suitable roles in Stephen Chow's films in the best years.
Or playful and funny, or pure and gentle, or sexy and beautiful, they left their most beautiful years to Zhou Xingchi, and also left in the memory of countless audiences.
I am the author Shi Guangjun, thank you to everyone who likes Stephen Chow movies.
Thanks for the likes and attention.
