Even in the face of "the evil god of fate", he can still keep a smile and continue to climb up, becoming the well-known king of comedy, Stephen Chow.
Today, Stephen Chow's identity is no longer just an "actor".
Not long ago, Stephen Chow, as an independent producer, talked about the magic weapon for making profits from his film investment.
There is such a widely circulated line in Stephen Chow's movie: "If you don't have dreams as a human being, what's the difference between being a salted fish?" This line has cheered up many discouraged people.
25 years ago, in the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Stephen Chow was dressed in rags, his face was blackened, and he was beaten to death in front of the camera.
As an extra, he had no lines.
18 years ago, in the movie "The Gambler", Stephen Chow played a "gambler" who wore a suit, had a oily hair, and had special powers that could see through hole cards and win gambling games.
Stephen Chow became famous with this film. His classic line is: Everyone can do tricks, but not everyone can get an A.
? On July 4 last year, Stephen Chow wore a gray suit and attended the Cathay Investment Entertainment Fund Symposium as an independent producer.
Like a corporate CEO, he talked about the magic weapon for profiting from his film investment: "Controlling costs is like obeying the law."
? From an extra, a movie star to a producer, from a monthly salary of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars to a producer with a salary of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars and a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, Stephen Chow's career is getting bigger and bigger.
The recent three movies written, directed and acted by Stephen Chow, "Shaolin Soccer", "Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River No. 7", have grossed more than 180 million US dollars at the global box office, establishing his status as the "King of Comedy".
Facing the author, Zhou Xingchi, who is only 46 years old and has white hair, and is much more serious than in the movie, commented on himself: "I personally like little people, which I am most familiar with, because I am a little person."
You must have the quality of patience in difficult situations.
Little people have to put in a lot of hard work to achieve that little bit of success.
? Not handsome enough, the examiner didn't bother to look at him a second time. In the movie "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance", Stephen Chow jokingly called cockroach "Xiao Qiang".
After interviewing Stephen Chow, the author found that he also has an "unbeatable spirit" like Xiao Qiang, who keeps improving.
After graduating from high school, Stephen Chow could not find a job for more than half a year, and his mother went out to work to support the family.
He thought at the time: "A person like me who has accomplished nothing, just loves to dream and think wildly. Besides being an actor, what else can I be? At that time, Hong Kong Radio Television (TVB) was recruiting actors, and Stephen Chow dragged his middle school classmate Tony Leung to apply.
As a result, Tony Leung, who accompanied the exam, was admitted to the training class, but because Stephen Chow was not handsome enough, the examiner did not bother to take a second look at him.
It wasn't until his neighbor told him that TVB would be recruiting students for the night department training class that he applied again and finally succeeded.
Even if you die as soon as you appear on the stage, you have to study how to die. The god of fate has repeatedly played tricks on Stephen Chow.
After graduating from the training class, although Stephen Chow wanted to act, he was assigned to be the host of the children's program "430 Shuttle", which was broadcast during the unpopular period at 4:30 pm.
Stephen Chow stayed here for 4 years.
While serving as the host of "430 Shuttle", Stephen Chow served as an extra in many TV series.
After recording the show every day, he will carefully figure out the supporting role for the next day. Even if he has no lines and dies as soon as he appears, he will work out a way to die.
In his four-year career as a host, Stephen Chow has had a hard time.
Tony Leung is already one of the "Five Tigers" highly praised by TVB. Stephen Chow is still practicing different expressions silently and receives a monthly salary of HK$2,000.
"Don't you feel bitter when you are hit again and again?" Stephen Chow answered with a relaxed face: "I don't look at things from the perspective of bitterness."
? ?Xiaoqiang also has his moments.
In 1988, Stephen Chow starred in the movie "Pioneer of Thunder" and won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.
