As the saying goes: the grace of dripping water, the fountain of retribution.
This sentence is universal. A person who knows how to be grateful will be respected wherever he goes, and vice versa, he will be spurned by people.
Bruce Lee was a generation of superstars who influenced countless people. He made Chinese martial arts spread throughout the world through movies and was recognized by audiences all over the world. Later, there were many people who imitated (paid tribute to) Bruce Lee, but to say who imitated the most, the first to recommend Chen Guokun.
Born in a poor family in Hong Kong, when he was a child, his family was crammed into a simple house in Shajing Town, Chen Guokun was particularly fond of Bruce Lee since he was a child, and once asked his father for a birthday gift. His father gave him a copy of Bruce Lee's "Introduction to Taekwondo", knowing that his son liked Bruce Lee, and his mother took him to see the movie "Jingwumen" starring Bruce Lee.
Strangely, the more Chen Guokun grew, the more he resembled Bruce Lee, and when he was 10 years old, his mother began to call him "Xiaolong", and people around him also felt that he became more and more like Bruce Lee. But what Chen Guokun did not expect was that he would one day be involved with Bruce Lee.
In 2000, Zhou Xingchi was preparing to shoot "Shaolin Football", chen Guokun was also invited, but did not enter the crew as an actor, when Chen Guokun was invited to rehearse a dance scene in the movie.
After the dance rehearsal was completed, Chen Guokun's task was also completed, so he explained the situation to Zhou Xingchi and wanted to return to his hometown in Hong Kong. Zhou Xingchi said to him, wait a minute, there is nothing to do anyway, see if there is anything to help. Therefore, Chen Guokun stayed. When there is nothing to do, I stand outside the field to watch Zhou Xingchi filming, there is a plot in the movie where Zhou Xingchi and the master brother sing together in the bar, and after singing, they are beaten by a group of small who listen to the songs.
At that time, Zhou Xingchi let Chen Guokun play one of the little, but when he went back to watch the finished film, Zhou Xingchi suddenly found that the little who carried the bench and smashed himself was particularly like Bruce Lee, as we all know, Bruce Lee was Chow's idol, when he watched Bruce Lee's movies as a child, he was determined to become a martial artist, but later for various reasons, he became an actor by chance. Only in the movie can pay tribute to Bruce Lee, in order to show respect for Bruce Lee, but also specially filmed "Kung Fu".
After watching the clip played by Chen Guokun, Zhou Xingchi was not satisfied, because he felt that Bruce Lee should not play a small. Therefore, Chen Guokun played another role - goalkeeper. Therefore, Chen Guokun became popular and let the audience know Chen Guokun, and it turned out that there was such a person who looked so much like Bruce Lee.
After the release of "Shaolin Football", Chen Guokun successfully signed with Stephen Chow's Xinghui Company and became an artist under Stephen Chow, which was 8 years. But in the past 8 years, Chen Guokun has made 2 movies, one is "Shaolin Football", and the other is the later "Kung Fu", in which he starred as the boss of the Axe Gang.
Perhaps it is the need of the character, Chen Guokun grew a beard in the movie, and his teeth were also made black, looking both funny and funny, and the viciousness of the gangster boss, but everywhere people can't help but laugh. The clip of dancing with a bunch of small has become a classic that netizens are competing to imitate.
8 years on the acting of 2 plays, Chen Guokun regrets?
Chen Guokun's answer was: No regrets!
In Chen Guokun's heart, he starred in two movies by Stephen Chow, which is better than shooting 100 outside.
The reason is very simple, even if you shoot 100 movies outside, there may not be an audience who can remember you, and making a movie with Zhou Xingchi may only make the audience remember you deeply.
After Huang Shengyi starred in "Kung Fu", almost everyone remembered the dumb girl who did not have a single line, she was pure, kind, and beautiful, but after breaking her contract with Zhou Xingchi, she also made a lot of film and television dramas, but almost none of the roles left an impression on the audience.
In the program, Chen Guokun also did not shy away from saying that Zhou Xingchi was his benefactor and his own Bole. Without Zhou Xingchi, there would be no Chen Guokun today.
There are not many people who are popular, and such examples as the entertainment industry are not uncommon.
Stephen Chow is also a controversial person who likes him, saying that he treats movies diligently, is enthusiastic about public welfare, and donates his bone marrow. Don't like him, attack him small belly chicken intestines, only money in the eyes, since his debut, the controversy on Zhou Xingchi has not been broken, and Zhou Xingchi has always remained silent, single-mindedly using actions to prove himself.
At the most embarrassing time, Xiang Taichen Lan jumped out and shelled Zhou Xingchi, saying that he was ungrateful, and the directors and actors who had cooperated in the past also took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity. Zhou Xingchi has almost become the "public enemy" of the entertainment industry.
But in Chen Guokun's view, those who attacked Zhou Xingchi just didn't understand Zhou Xingchi.
And people who really understand Zhou Xingchi will thank him.
In fact, this kind of initiative to "stand in line" Zhou Xingchi's approach is very unwise, because this undoubtedly assigns himself to Zhou Xingchi's team, for those who attack, and even hate Zhou Xingchi to come to the big guys in the circle, Chen Guokun's practice is undoubtedly to give up some resources, which is a huge loss for an actor. But also because of his righteous words, it has made more fans like Chen Guokun more.
On the other hand, those who do not know how to be grateful in the entertainment industry are not very well mixed in the end, such as the apprentices who have "betrayed" Guo Degang and the cross-talk actors who left the Deyun Society: Cao Yunjin, He Yunwei, Xu Deliang... Do you see their final ending?
Knowing gratitude is a person's minimum moral bottom line, and if you lose this bottom line, even if you mix well, you will be spurned by others and bear the name of a lifetime. And those who know gratitude often don't mix too badly, right?
ps: Do you like Chen Guokun as an actor?
