First, the children of the poor have long been in charge

In Hong Kong in the last century, there were many people who lived on the roofs. They built a simple board house with wooden strips, and for the person who lives in it, that is his home.

Zheng Zeshi spent her childhood in a wooden house. As the house is too small and the family has a large population, as the eldest son, Zheng Zeshi volunteered to live on the roof, and spent his childhood in the "home" where there is no shelter from the wind in winter and rain in summer.

Zheng Zeshi's father is a dockworker and earns money by helping others load and unload goods, while his mother is a servant. My parents, relying on their meager income, support several brothers and sisters in Zheng Zeshi.

Due to financial difficulties, it is impossible for several children to go to school at the same time. Therefore, Zheng Zeshi stopped studying in junior high school and gave the opportunity to study to other sisters.

In order to reduce the family burden, Zheng Zeshi, at a young age, had to work to support her family.

Although Zheng Zeshi is young, it's a good thing that he is bigger, so his job search is quite smooth.

As he has no skills and has just entered the society, all he can find is jobs with little technical content.

at first, he worked as a kitchen handyman for a while. Later, he heard that making jewelry was very profitable, so he went to a jewelry store as an apprentice.

Second, people are not poor.

At that time, Zheng Zeshi can be said to be the epitome of the bottom poor in Hong Kong. From him, we can almost see the living conditions of the people at the bottom of Hong Kong at that time. There is no light in front of you, and you are busy all day.

To a great extent, one's original family has decided one's life. Unless a pie falls from the sky, one can only live in a narrow wooden shed on the roof all one's life.

But Zheng Zeshi seems to be different from others. He likes dreaming, distant dreams.

his dream is to be a star.

Since childhood, Zheng Zeshi dreamed of becoming a star. In the fourth grade, the teacher assigned a composition about dreams, and the name of his composition was "I want to be a star".

but soon, his unreachable dream was laughed at. It was the teacher who set the composition that laughed at him.

After seeing his composition, the teacher criticized him for being vain and forced him to change his dream and write a new one.

I don't know if the teacher will remember what Zheng Zeshi did when he saw the winner. In short, since then, Zheng Zeshi has never easily revealed this dream to others.

But this dream is still buried in Zheng Zeshi's heart and has never changed. After leaving society, Zheng Zeshi has been looking for opportunities.

Zheng Zeshi was lucky. At that time, there was fierce competition among several major film companies. In order to find new people, film companies often hold actor training classes.

In p>1972, Longbow Film Company held the first actor training class. Zheng Zeshi was moved. He told his parents about it, and as expected, the idea was unanimously opposed by his parents.

because in their eyes, it's like talking in a dream. It's better to be an apprentice, and then you can have a skill of making a living.

But Zheng Zeshi, who has always been sensible and obedient, didn't listen to them this time. He resolutely signed up.

A few years later, the radio station held the "Acting Competition of Sound Treasure Studio", and Zheng Zeshi won the first championship. Finally, the radio station was successfully signed.

Third, the counterattack of grassroots

Zheng Zeshi can be said to be the star who made his debut with the least face. With a height of 1.76 meters and a weight of more than 2 kilograms, it is difficult to find a few in the whole entertainment circle.

So in the beginning, Zheng Zeshi played only a few insignificant roles.

In order to learn more, when Zheng Zeshi was an actor, he recommended himself to the director to apply for assistant director. Although he was not paid, Zheng Zeshi worked hard.

It was also during that time that he learned a lot of skills, including editing and shooting, which laid the foundation for making his own movies in the future.

It was not until 1979 that he starred in the first wireless TV series "Four Eyes Detective", in which he played the leading role. Later, he appeared in some comedies one after another, but the response was not great.

It was not until 1984 that he was nominated for the best actor in the Academy Award for his superb acting skills, which also gave him a shot in the arm.

the situation turned around in 1985.

In that year, Zheng Zeshi wrote, directed and acted a tragic drama "Why Have Me", which is also the origin of the name "Fat Cat".

In the play, he plays an ill-fated mentally retarded boy "Fat Cat".

in order to perform the play well, he has made great efforts. Visit welfare homes many times to observe and record the behavior and lifestyle of mentally retarded people; I also consulted a lot of materials and practiced for three months.

In the end, Zheng Zeshi won the trophy of Best Actor in the 5th Academy Awards with this drama.

It is also this drama, which opened the market for Zheng Zeshi in the Mainland.

After feeling the benefits of success, Zheng Zeshi made several TV series "Fat Cat" in succession. Each film left a deep impression on the audience.

A few years later, he met his wife Lin Yanming.

Their marriage proposal ceremony was quite interesting.

at that time, the two had been dating for several years. At a family gathering, someone took out a ring to be appraised by knowledgeable Zheng Zeshi. After Zheng Zeshi took it and evaluated it, he put it on Lin Yanming's hand.

Lin Yanming asked him what it was.

Zheng Zeshi asked: Do you like it?

yan lin said: Of course.

Zheng Zeshi replied: If you like it, keep wearing it! Never take it off.

Not long after, the two held a wedding ceremony, with 69 tables on display. All the guests who came to the banquet were celebrities and guests.

This is an episode, but we can see how beautiful Zheng Zeshi was at that time.

In p>1996, Zheng Zeshi once again won the Best Actor Award for "Three Injured Policemen". At that time, Zheng Zeshi became the hottest actor in Hong Kong.

However, Zheng Zeshi at that time would never have imagined that he would become a different person in a few years.

Fourth, life is like a play

With the development of performing arts, it seems that Zheng Zeshi is no longer satisfied with just being an actor.

At that time, the film industry in Hong Kong was still booming. Zheng Zeshi made a joint venture with his friends and founded a film company.

At the beginning, with the word-of-mouth and contacts accumulated in the film industry, the film companies in Zheng Zeshi managed brilliantly. But soon, he lost all the money he earned in the early stage because of his investment failure.

At this time, the partners saw that the situation was wrong, so they quickly withdrew their funds, leaving Zheng Zeshi alone with tens of millions of debts.

Rumor has it that Dicky Cheung was an artist under Zheng Zeshi at that time, but after the investment failed, Zheng Zeshi had to borrow Dicky Cheung's salary to make up for the vacancy as soon as possible. Finally, the latter found out that it had a big fight and broke up.

horse power is known from a distance, and people will see it for a long time. It was also during that time that Zheng Zeshi really understood this sentence.

At that time, he was a shining Academy Award winner with a bright future, but at this time, he was just a poor man who failed to invest, and he might get bad luck if he approached a little, so everyone was afraid to avoid it.

In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Zheng Zeshi had to pick up some scripts with faster money. When Andy Lau learned about this, he not only hired him as the producer of his new drama Brothers, but also invited him to co-star in the film.

At that time, the two men forged a profound friendship, and Zheng Zeshi was always grateful to Andy Lau.

Fortunately, thanks to these years' hard work, Zheng Zeshi gradually paid off its debts.

Perhaps he has seen all kinds of people in the world. Now Zheng Zeshi focuses on his family, no longer attached to movies and entertainment circles, and only when he meets his favorite script will he regain his old job.

Maybe, as he said, as an actor, it is enough to make the audience like and recognize him.
