? Although Stephen Chow, like Andy Lau, was born in poverty, he started as a walk-on and a supporting role, and finally reached the peak of his life. However, due to his personal experience, his walking sideways with Andy Lau is totally different. Stephen Chow, like an alternative in martial arts novels, wanted to enter a noble and decent family, but he never got it (he didn't enter the TVB artist training class). But in the end, because of his high martial arts, he finally established his own school, which made the major sects have to admit.
Stephen Chow didn't get into the wireless artist training class. Without this halo blessing, he is doomed to be unable to play a role, hone his acting skills, accumulate experience and gain popularity in TV series after graduation like Andy Lau.
Stephen Chow hosted children's programs for several years in the early days, and later had the opportunity to act in movies with Li Xiuxian. Stephen Chow, played by Li Xiuxian, is not outstanding, and can only play the roles of hooligans, teenagers, dangerous people, etc. There is almost no chance to display his comic talent and nonsense skills.
? Yes, gold always shines. Even if it is a police film, Stephen Chow shines brilliantly. 1988 won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor for his wonderful performance in Pioneer of Thunderbolt. What Stephen Chow lacks is a master who discovers his unique bones and points out the maze, giving him a chance to show his fantastic skills. 1990, opportunities and talents are coming.
In The Gambling Saint directed by Liu Zhenwei, Stephen Chow won the local box office champion and broke the box office record with his unswerving skill. The star of that day became a star overnight. Son and grandfather, not only the address, but also the status.
After Gambling Saint, Stephen Chow's acting life began, breaking box office records every one or two years, which is a common occurrence. In the era when Hong Kong movies are 10% every two weeks, the winner is more Stephen Chow. In the box office TOP 10, Stephen Chow's name is the most. Even Jackie Chan, who is desperate, and Chow Yun Fat, who is superb in acting, can only look at Stephen Chow at the box office.
It is worth mentioning that in 10, when Bi Zhou became the overlord of Hong Kong movies, only Andy Lau could compete with him. Won the box office championship twice with two films, such as "Slimming Men and Women". Compared with Chow Yun Fat, Stephen Chow's shortcoming is that there is no film award icing on the cake; Compared with Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow is not international.
At that time, Chow Yun Fat, with the help of "The True Color of Heroes", turned over and took off the hat of box office poison. His acting skills were even more impressive, and he became a judge of the Academy Awards. He is busy with nominations and awards. Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan are in the same boat, because they can't impress the judges of the Academy Awards. In their eyes, fresh and elegant literary films are the right way. Even if the box office is low enough to make investors cry in the toilet, they will not hesitate to vote for the protagonist of the literary film.
Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan's films are too commercialized for their eyes. Therefore, although Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan are very popular, they get cramps in their hands and leave countless legends, but they never get a golden statuette. Although Stephen Chow satirized the judges of the Academy Awards many times in his films, and even showed no mercy in The Secret Agent, it didn't help.
Stephen Chow is luckier than Jackie Chan because he won an Oscar in his career. In 2003, SARS raged, cinemas closed, and Hong Kong film industry suffered heavy losses. How miserable the situation is, Baidu can clearly see the box office of that year. Stephen Chow's "shaolin soccer" sold against the market, once again breaking the box office record, exceeding 60 million. In order to boost the morale of Hong Kong filmmakers, under the pressure of public opinion, the winner of the Hong Kong Academy Award was finally given to Stephen Chow.
This indicates that Stephen Chow has finally established a sect, which has been recognized by major sects, and the status of Wulitou Sect has been confirmed. The same thing happened to Andy Lau. In order to save the market, the phenomenal film Infernal Affairs came into being. The first choice is Andy Lau. Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who made literary films with Wong Kar-wai at that time, won numerous awards, but everyone knows whether he can prop up the box office.
Andy Lau is in charge of business, Tony Leung Chiu Wai is in charge of acting, and the division of labor is quite clear, which determines that the credit for the box office goes to Andy Lau and the winner goes to Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Andy Lau started very high and became famous in the TV circle. Two TV series, Falcon and Condor Heroes, made him sit firmly on the throne of five tigers. I can't help it Being handsome is always pleasing.
After the transformation of the film industry, the initial development of Andy Lau was difficult, and it was a long story. It was not until "Going to the Angry Sea" won the Best Newcomer Award in the Academy Awards that it gradually became better and better, and after many years, it played many classic roles. But he can't get rid of the handsome model all the time, just like a master who has fallen into a dead end in practice. Without the guidance of experts, it is difficult for him to further his skills.
Especially after failing to invest in Skyscreen Company and being heavily in debt, in order to pay off debts and repay Jing Wong's favor in the future, Andy Lau made many bad films with no acting skills against his will, which became a black spot in his acting career. The most famous, when the number "love fate", received a high salary, lost a good reputation.
Andy Lau really wants to give up everything to be a director, and it is estimated that it will take a long time. However, even as a director, he is still far from Stephen Chow, and he still needs two mermaids.
