Stephen Chow: Why did the dead walk-on have the last laugh?

If Charlie Chaplin is a world comedian, then Stephen Chow deserves to be called "China king of comedy".

What we see on the big screen is mostly Stephen Chow's funny hip-hop. In fact, he is a reserved person.

The story behind him is just like his movie. There is sadness behind his smile, and there is hardship behind his success.

As we all know, Stephen Chow's family is relatively poor, and their three brothers and sisters were raised by their mother Ling Baoer. The difficulties of single-parent families can be imagined.

In such a crowded living environment, when Stephen Chow was in middle school, she stopped studying and began to do various jobs to help her mother share the family burden. At the same time, he became more and more reticent.

197 1 year, 9-year-old Stephen Chow followed her mother to the cinema to watch Bruce Lee's kung fu movie "Tangshan Mobile".

When Stephen Chow was a child, he rarely broke his silence after watching movies, and even his whole face was covered with blood. He shouted like a child, "Bruce Lee is amazing. I want to be a kung fu star like Bruce Lee! "

Over the years, Stephen Chow, who has become a superstar, recalls:

"Although it was a very shabby cinema, I was completely attracted by the movie and felt my heart was about to jump out. As I talked, I was so excited that I burst into tears. "

From then on, Bruce Lee became his idol.

Bernard Shaw said:

Bruce Lee became Stephen Chow's life guide, so he fell in love with Wing Chun Boxing and Iron Sand Palm, and began his heroic dream, determined to become a movie star.

In his movies, you can see that someone gave him a secret book of martial arts. If he practices successfully, he can get rid of violence and settle down. In fact, when he was young, a charlatan did sell him a copy of "Kung Fu Secret Book". He believes in it and practices it day and night according to its content.

It can be seen how persistent he is in becoming a movie star dream like Bruce Lee.

Xunzi said:

Experience is everyone's most precious wealth, which has laid a solid foundation for his future film career.

In king of comedy, there is such a fragment:

Stephen Chow sat on the stage and talked about the feeling of first love, while Cecilia Cheung said "you are a dead walk-on" twice in a row.

Stephen Chow also answered twice in a row: "I am an actor."

By the third time, he said, "If you must call me a walk-on, can you not add the word' death' in front?"

It can be seen that his respect for the profession of actor is very important and worthy of respect, even if it is a walk-on.

Drama is like life, and life is like drama.

Stephen Chow's acting career is just like the life of the hero in the play. Six years of walk-on experience made him deeply understand the inner feelings of small people.

In The Spectator interviewed by Chai Jing, he mentioned a walk-on experience. In The Legend of the Condor Heroes 1983, Stephen Chow plays a soldier killed by Mei Chaofeng.

Before the performance, I took the initiative to discuss with the deputy director whether I could stop the claw of Jiuyin White Bone with my hand and die with the second hand. The director scolded me for too long.

However, in the real shooting, at the moment of "death", he was still thinking about different ways to die.

Stephen Chow said in an interview: "You didn't seem to move, but you did. Didn't you see that I also responded? "

This shot is almost less than a second, and he will study it very seriously.

He said: "This second picture will still be put in. If you can put it in, someone will see it. "

In king of comedy, Karen Mok accused his Yin Tianchou, saying, "Do you know, how many films, how much money, how much staff time and effort are wasted because you don't want to die?"

The plot of this autobiographical film is fictional, but the feelings inside are real.

Later, Stephen Chow met two outstanding figures in his life: Wan Ziliang and Li Xiujian.

As the saying goes:

1987, Stephen Chow, who spent five years in the children's program group, was finally assigned to the drama group of TVB. He was very lucky. As soon as he entered the cast, he was assigned an important role-playing the younger brother of Wan Ziliang, who was already a big shot.

Wan Ziliang not only cared for him, but also gave careful guidance to his acting skills.

Wan Ziliang thanked Stephen Chow, and Xingma later expressed her gratitude: "When Xingzai first debuted, thanks to Wan Zi's care, he finished filming all night and often drove Xingzai home and bought him snacks."

Later, he met the film producer Li Xiuxian and asked him to play a supporting role in Pioneer of Thunderbolt. With this cute little guy, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer.

From then on, this little guy Stephen Chow flew in the film and television circle.

Without futile efforts,

It didn't happen to be successful.

Stephen Chow's success is not accidental, but inevitable.

I said to:

After becoming famous, he cooperated with many famous actors in many classic movies. When his career was booming, Stephen Chow, who had earned a little money, wanted to start his own business and make some movies he really wanted to make.

Therefore, he invested in the filming of A Chinese Odyssey, which was later regarded as a classic.

A writer wrote:

And Stephen Chow's investment has plummeted this time. A Chinese Odyssey suffered the first "box office waterloo" after Stephen Chow became famous-a box office fiasco!

Stephen Chow's film and television companies were also forced to declare bankruptcy.

According to Liu Zhenwei:

"At that time, when I looked at Stephen Chow, he didn't dare to look into my eyes. I know the child has no confidence. "

When I was a child, I especially liked watching Stephen Chow's movies, but my father said contemptuously, "What's the use of watching these messy movies? It is easy to teach bad children. "

So we were forced to watch it on other TVs. At that time, the public liked the great man's sense of justice and bitter drama, and turned their noses up at Stephen Chow's nonsense movies.

And many years later, the film became popular in the mainland with the potential of starting a prairie fire. Almost all the characters in the film are regarded as classics, and Stephen Chow is a masterpiece of World War I!

Facts have proved that our talented director Stephen Chow led the trend of comedy movies, but we just didn't understand it at that time.

There is a line in the movie "Tong Pak Hu Dian Chou-heung":

Yes, his understanding of comedy movies is understandable to most people.

Today, there are still countless fans who are obsessed with "Stephen Chow still owes a movie ticket".

Later, films such as king of comedy, shaolin soccer and Kung Fu, which were mainly directed and directed by Stephen Chow, all achieved unprecedented success, and his films really ranked first at that time.

As the saying goes:

The movie tickets owed to Stephen Chow in those years were finally returned in the form of "box office first" and including all awards.

Life is fair, it will never fail to see those who work hard, and luck will always come to those who work hard.

One idol a year, one Stephen Chow a hundred years, the movie dream of that taciturn little boy, the persistence and persistence of that "walk-on" and the ups and downs of king of comedy have finally become a classic that no one can surpass in people's hearts.

Now, he has both fame and fortune, and all his due aura has been realized through his efforts. We should also say to him:

"Thank you, our king of comedy-Mr. Stephen Chow, thank you. You have worked hard for the laughter you have brought us over the years. "
