In Stephen Chow's films, there are all kinds of roles, and in Stephen Chow's nonsensical style, whether it is a makeup and flowers, a bustard who still has charm or a serious abbot master, it is very comedic. Today, let's take a look at the five abbot masters who have left their mark in Stephen Chow's movies!
Co-production: Shaolin Abbot - Shaolin Soccer
Shaolin soccer
Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi are "golden partners", and they have starred in countless movies together, including funny uncles and nephews, fathers and sons with yin and yang, and senseless ghost horses' masters and apprentices.
In Shaolin football, Wu Mengda starred in the "golden right foot" who was framed by the evil people, and when he fell, he met Zhou Xingchi and other brothers who had a martial art but did not know how to use it in modern society. In the end, with Shaolin kung fu football, he shined on the green field.
In the movie, in addition to playing the "golden right foot", Wu Mengda also made a cameo appearance in the role of Shaolin abbot. The character stumbles upon a face in the film, but there is nothing shining about it. Only when they were ridiculing how martial arts existed in modern society on the side of the road together, the scene when Wu Mengda angrily took off his robe was unbearable.
Wu Mengda died of liver cancer in 2021 and failed to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi again, which made countless fans feel a pity.

Co-film: Guoqing Temple Host - "Jigong"
Any
In the movie "Jigong", the dragon descending and the monk of Jiqian played by Zhou Xingchi are spurned by all the gods and mortals around them. As one of the few people around him to support him, Pan Hengsheng played the abbot of the abbot, and he left the country a lot.
In the confrontation between the monks and Hei Luoxu, the land ran away, Fu Hu was also captured and returned to the heavenly court, and Ji Qian, whose golden body was shattered and his mana was completely lost, was accompanied by only one host. In the end, the two of them worked together to get rid of The Black Luo, and the Descending Dragon Emperor returned to the Heavenly Court as he wished.
Pan Hengsheng's profession is not actually an actor, but a photographer. He has shot films such as "Dao Ma Dan", "Ruan Lingyu", "Ghost of Qiannu" and has been nominated and won the "Best Cinematography Award" at the Hong Kong Film Awards for many times. In 2016, Pan hengsheng was invited to become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and participated in the academy awards.

Co-production: Bodhi Laozu - "Journey to the West"
Big talk westward journey
"It's all burned, look, it doesn't hurt at all!" Remember the Bodhi Ancestor who came down to help the Supreme Treasure, but was beaten, distrusted, and harmed by the Supreme Treasure? Yes, his actor is the famous Hong Kong screenwriter and director Liu Zhenwei.
The first collaboration between Liu Zhenwei and Stephen Chow was in the film "Gamble Saint", in which Liu Zhenwei was the screenwriter and helped Stephen Chow make a big splash in the Hong Kong film industry with this film. Later, in "Journey to the West", the two continued the frontier, but unfortunately in the film market of that year, this movie was not recognized by fans, and it was broken into the sand... After that, the film "Kung Fu" that the two collaborated on was finally a great success, winning the box office and word-of-mouth win-win situation, and the two won various awards.
Liu Zhenwei has been in the Hong Kong film circle as a screenwriter for a long time, and has participated in the choreography and directing of films such as "The Fierce Ghost Chaguan", "Fang Shiyu", "92 Black Roses to Black Roses", "The World Is Unmatched", and "Infinite Resurrection". What fans like most is that he used the crew of Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison" to shoot the comedy film "East into West" in a short period of time, which not only helped the film company to recover its losses, but also made him one of the representative figures of comedy film directors.
Liu Zhenwei has quit the film industry twice, and was invited back twice by Wong Kar-wai and Stephen Chow. Now he still occasionally launches some works, and the 2016 3D movie "Big Trouble in the East Sea" has not yet been released, hoping to bring surprises to fans!

Co-production: Master of Dreams - "God Eater"
God Eater
The thought of Liu Yida's paralyzed face made people cry and laugh. How can a person use such a plain and uninteresting expression to make the audience laugh? Liu Yida is really a funny comedy prodigy.
The dream master played by Liu Yida did not appear much in the movie, but several appearances impressed the audience. First he saved the God eater, and because he was offended, he arranged for eighteen bronze people to be imprisoned and beat him, and finally he looked at the female reporter and smiled, which made the audience think about it...
It is such a character who cannot make his expression move by anything, but he is actually a wizard. He was not only a member of the popular Band Group "Tammy One Faction" in Hong Kong, but also scored music for many movies and won numerous awards.
Liu Yida has starred as a master, and in real life, he also believed in Buddhism, and in 2000, he was given the dharma name "Miaohui". Now he is still making music, and after several degrees of separation and integration with his old partner Huang Yaoming, he still insists on their musical dreams together.

Co-film: Tang Monk - "Journey to the West"
French Seal - "Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair"
Zero zero shots from the Great Inner Secret Agent
Remember the unlucky master in "The Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair" who dropped the wig head cover and was still shouting "Why not"? Remember the tang monk who sang "only you" and was beaten, with a sharp mouth saying the words of a dead monster?
Lo Ka Ying is so serious and funny, serious lines from his mouth can show a comedic effect, but also a major spectacle in Hong Kong movies.
Born in a Family of Cantonese Opera, Lo Ka Ying only began to get involved in the film industry in 1991, starring in hundreds of films, and his cooperation with Stephen Chow is not limited to the above two works. But as long as he leaves the country, it is like a finishing touch, blowing up all the baggage in front of him.
In 2009, Luo Jiaying and Wang Mingquan ended their love run, and the two registered for marriage in Las Vegas. In 2014, Luo Jiaying was hospitalized due to liver disease deterioration, and after surgery, he was discharged from the hospital to continue his acting career. In 2018, Luo Jiaying was awarded the "Bronze Bauhinia Star" in recognition of Luo Jiaying's outstanding artistic achievements. In 2021, he starred in the science fiction movie masterpiece "Chang'an Voldemort".

In addition to the above, Zhao Wei also appeared in Zhou Xingchi's movies as a bald head, and she really looked like she was from "Mars" with a hood. In addition, do you know which masters in Stephen Chow's films? Let's share it together!
