where to start? Let's start with his childhood. To understand a person, it is best to understand his childhood first.

In 195s and 196s, Hong Kong witnessed two waves of immigrants from the Mainland.

Stephen Chow, born in Hongkong on June 22nd, 1962, is a descendant of this group of immigrants. Stephen Chow's mother, Ling Baoer, studied as a teacher in mainland China, and her father was a judge.

According to Hong Kong media reports, Ling Baoer went to Hong Kong from Guangdong with his mother to make a living under the identity of "Black Five" after his father was put in prison in 1957.

At that time, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry was developing rapidly, but it was not easy for new immigrants to find jobs. First, they needed someone to guarantee them and a deposit.

After coming to Hong Kong, Ling Baoer soon married an immigrant from Shanghai because she had no money. They lived in a slum in Kowloon at that time, gave birth to two daughters and a son, and the family of five was squeezed into a narrow wooden house.

Stephen Chow said that when he was a child, he thought it was the best food in the world.

Parents' artistic cells are very entertaining for fighting.

Stephen Chow has a sister and younger sister. Her elder sister's name is Zhou Wenji and her younger sister's name is Zhou Xingxia. They are all very common names, but his name is the most special. The original names of other stars are rather rustic, and they have to change their names before they debut, such as Andy Lau's real name Liu Furong, Jackie Chan's real name Chen Gangsheng, Feng Delun's real name Feng Jincai ... and Stephen Chow doesn't have to change his name.

"My name was given by my mother. I asked her why she gave me such a strange name. She said it was based on Wang Bo's Preface to Tengwang Pavilion, which said,' The mist in Xiongzhou, the splendor of the stars, the warmth of the summer, the beauty of the southeast'."

It is different to have a college-educated mother. Of course, this mother also influenced Stephen Chow's life.

When Ling Baoer married Stephen Chow's father, there was less love, and more life.

It's normal for people to have different personalities. They often quarrel and even fight. Ling Baoer, a man of temperament, finally chose to divorce her husband, and the custody of her children went to her.

This point was mentioned in Stephen Chow's later interview. He has become a star master, and when he talks about his parents, he still shows the same hurt expression as a child.

Everyone should know that parents should avoid their children when quarreling, because to take care of their children's mental health, parents often quarrel in front of their children, which will make their children feel worried, frightened and sad, thus losing confidence in the future of their families.

When a person's childhood is miserable, he will have selective amnesia and even a tendency to split his personality.

Stephen Chow said in an interview: "My parents are very artistic people. Their every move is very entertaining, and even fighting is very interesting. Maybe because my mother is not that kind of weak woman, their quarrels and even fights often have unexpected results."

Some Hong Kong psychologists analyzed Stephen Chow's mentality and thought that he used "very entertaining" to interpret his parents' fight, not for fun, but because he didn't want to face the cruel facts, so he tried to describe his parents' fighting in front of him from a relaxed perspective. Stephen Chow regarded himself as a bystander, which on the one hand made him less painful to recall, on the other hand, he also tended to escape and split.

Of course, Stephen Chow doesn't really have a split personality, but his versatility can be seen by everyone in the future.

There are two people outside the play. Some people say that he is gentle, while others say that he is stingy and harsh. There are many comments from both poles.

In Hongkong in p>197, a single mother took care of three children, which showed that it was difficult. After divorce, Ling Baoer had to work two jobs every day.

One of her jobs is working as a cashier in a restaurant, so every time Stephen Chow leaves school, she cooks noodles for her son (there are a lot of scenes about eating noodles in Stephen Chow's movies later).

Stephen Chow was born in Cancer on June 22nd. Cancer boys are very Oedipus, and they often say "My mother said ..." Please pay attention to this.

Because it's hard to earn money by working outside, Stephen Chow and his sister are fostered in grandma's house. Grandma usually makes a living by selling nail clippers, and Stephen Chow and her sister help her set up a stall in Temple Street every day.

Stephen Chow will talk about these things as a child again and again. People who are over 5 years old can see how sensitive they are.

Yuqi Zhang once said that Stephen Chow likes telling people about his childhood.

A strong mother often has a weak son. It can be said that Stephen Chow's mother influenced his life.

His mother, who is strong both inside and outside, has made him feel inferior. Of course, he is inferior and conceited. He often says that he is a handsome guy, quite narcissistic, but his inferiority is always with him. This is also related to his being a cancer. Cancer men are more likely to feel inferior.

Master Xing is famous for his filial piety. It is more appropriate to say that he is Oedipus. I'm afraid I'm the first person to bring my mother to the celebration dinner.

The 21st Academy Awards brought the mother. Have you ever seen such an Oedipus star?

Many people think that Stephen Chow's personality in reality is similar to that in the movies, but in fact it is just the opposite.

He speaks very fast in the play, but he speaks very slowly outside the play, and he speaks and makes decisions very slowly, which is what Yuqi Zhang said.

even when facing his mother, he seldom speaks.

In the eyes of mother Ling Baoer, when she was a child, Stephen Chow couldn't say a few words at home for a day, and she even thought her son was mentally ill.

Since there are no other men at home, Stephen Chow has been quiet since childhood. Ling Baoer mentioned that if she asked her son if he would go with her before going out on the street, he would mostly shake his head and then stand by the window and watch the street view for two hours.

It is said that these street scenes are also the inspiration for Stephen Chow's later comedy creation.

This shows that Stephen Chow has been a taciturn man since childhood.

This can also explain why he never responded after being scolded by others, mentioned by others and revealed by others for so long. This is really not because of his guilty conscience.

Having been in the business for decades, he has never quarreled with people in the media and doesn't like to respond to negative news, so many people think that Stephen Chow is tacitly accepting those negative news.

As the saying goes, when I was a child, Stephen Chow was shy except for being silent.

Ling Baoer said that she used to take Stephen Chow out for dinner. As long as there were outsiders, Stephen Chow used to cover her face with a menu when she was a child, so she finished a meal.

in his early twenties, Stephen Chow himself admitted, "I am shy. Some people usually speak loudly, hoping that someone will notice him. I'm not like that. I usually like to listen to others. I like to listen to the person with a loud voice best. If you give me a script to perform once, I can get into it and act like a character in the play, but I can't usually. I think I like acting. "

how shy is he? Refuse to make a sex scene!

including his reluctance to go public every time he falls in love, there are also some shy factors.

in p>1996, Stephen Chow was 34 years old. Tung shing Yee admired him and encouraged Stephen Chow to transform from a comedian. When Tung shing Yee was preparing Porn Men and Women, he planned to find Stephen Chow as the leading role, and even the script was tailored to Stephen Chow.

But "Porn Men and Women" needs to undress and unbutton their pants, so Stephen Chow and Tung shing Yee can't get along in the end. Later, it was Leslie Cheung's temporary roof, and the film was successfully completed.

Because of the time, it is too late to revise the script of Porn Men and Women, so if you pay attention, you will find that Leslie Cheung's name in Porn Men and Women is also called "A Xing".

Practicing Kung Fu with idol Bruce Lee is a good way to escape from reality.

As we all know, people who are extroverted and good at expression usually have higher EQ and are easy to get ahead.

But Stephen Chow doesn't seem to be such a person.

When I was a child, my family was poor, and I had two sisters. My mother always gave him meat clips every time I ate, but every time Stephen Chow put the leftover meat in his mouth and bit it again before spitting it out. What's more, once he threw the whole chicken leg on the ground, my mother thought he was selfish and couldn't help hitting him.

It was not until Stephen Chow took his mother to the Phoenix TV program that the host asked Stephen Chow about her childhood. Ling Baoer talked about Stephen Chow's misdeeds when she was a child, and Stephen Chow finally said why he did it-he found that his mother seldom ate meat, but ordered Stephen Chow to finish it, so Stephen Chow deliberately left the meat dirty for her mother to eat.

But Stephen Chow asked Phoenix TV to cut this detail afterwards, and he felt that he was too rude.

This poor self-expression and inarticulate personality should have caused more than one misunderstanding in his life.

and his bad words also make him miss opportunities frequently.

Although he grew up with no serious facial injuries, he looks pretty good-but his long-term poor family, poor academic performance at school, teachers' neglect and short stature made young Stephen Chow have little self-confidence.

Fortunately, practicing kungfu with Bruce Lee, an idol, can make him escape from reality temporarily and indulge in his kung fu dream.

if there was any merit in him at that time, it was that he didn't know much about the way of the world and was very simple.

It's easier for children from middle class to continue to move up. However, a young man with a poor family and a quiet and introverted personality like Stephen Chow did have more experience than others to achieve this achievement, which led him to be more unsmiling in his later years.

Maybe it's the only way. Instead, it allows him to perform unscrupulously on the screen.

Liu Zhenwei, the director of A Chinese Odyssey, who worked with him, said, "He is often misunderstood as a big name to be cool. In fact, he is very afraid of ugliness. When filming A Chinese Odyssey, I saw him sweeping the floor with migrant workers with a broom. Once he wanted to talk to me about the play after work, and he secretly stuffed a note under my hotel room door. In fact, Xingzi is usually afraid of contacting strangers and is not active enough, so it is easy to be misunderstood. " At that time, he was in his thirties and had been popular for many years, but he was still like this.

It takes a liter of water to get a dead character

There should be no need to say more about Stephen Chow's bumpy struggle history.

After two exams, I entered the TVB training class (my childhood friend Tony Leung Chiu Wai passed the exam once), and then I ran for a year as a walk-on to replace Tony Leung Chiu Wai in hosting the children's program 43 space shuttle. During this period, he hoped to become an actor like Tony Leung Chiu Wai, but Tony Leung Chiu Wai became popular in only one year. He hosted children's programs for six years.

2 to 26 years old, the best six years of adolescence.

If someone is good at expressing himself, maybe things would not be like this. Hosting "43 space shuttle" is the mental process of filming "king of comedy" later.

There is a line in king of comedy, "It will be beautiful at dawn", but at that time Stephen Chow didn't know when it would dawn.

Stephen Chow was also a super cute god when he was young, and his skin was white and red. He himself said that many teachers called the TV station to ask him how to maintain it.

At that time, Stephen Chow didn't do a good job as a host, and he was not allowed to be an actor.

As I said before, he is the kind of person who is silent and shy, and what is the most important quality of being a host? He is quick-witted, outgoing and eloquent, which he is not good at.

don't say at that time, even now, he is as stiff as ever in front of the public.

He is always nervous when facing the media. Pay attention that every time he appears in public for an interview, his legs sometimes tremble.

Later, he left "43 space shuttle" and worked in "Happy Tonight" for one year, which made him even more unsuitable for variety shows. Including the video of the previous program that we are now looking for, Stephen Chow's slow pace can't keep up with others.

everyone around you is comfortable, but his performance always feels problematic, either the rhythm is wrong or the hand is put in the wrong place, in short, the movements can't keep up with the rhythm at all.

He himself said that he can only let it go in front of the camera, but he can't let it go on stage at all.

I don't know how he came over these six years. If a person works in a position he doesn't want to stay for six years, I believe his former ideals and ambitions will be worn away.

At a time when there is the greatest possibility in life, it's strange not to feel inferior to watch six years go by while others are getting ahead.

These years have influenced his life, and continuous shooting's comedies are full of melancholy feelings. He is really a pessimist.

At that time, when Stephen Chow got up early every day to wash his face and brush his teeth, he would shout "Come on" to the mirror and fantasize that he would become the protagonist one day. "Let everyone see what a drag it looks like, and it is best to win an award."

but at the same time, his self-esteem was trampled repeatedly. He once described that experience to people around him, not waiting around to earn tens of dollars a day. "Learn to be a deep-fried dough stick and make jokes with others. For a dead character, spend a liter of saliva to win. "

this should be a painful thing for a person who is not good at interpersonal communication.

Tony Leung Chiu Wai was already in love, and his girlfriend was a beautiful Margie Tsang, and she was praised as a popular young man by TVB.

as for Stephen Chow, nobody likes him at all. He has a crush on Lan Jieying (the 3-year-old woman in A Chinese Odyssey, who is now in the street), but Lan Jieying doesn't like him at all.

Li Xiuxian pointed at his nose and scolded him for acting like a dog.

Fortunately, although he made his debut late, Stephen Chow's adolescence was longer than others, and he looked younger than his peers in his twenties.

In p>1988, 26-year-old Stephen Chow was appreciated by Li Xiuxian, who starred in the film "Pioneer of Thunderbolt" and won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Golden Horse Award.

He was sitting in the audience and heard the host say Stephen Chow's name. He carefully asked the people next to him, are you sure it was me?

When I received my prize on stage, my Mandarin was also poor. I said, "I will continue to work hard", which was very cute.

In fact, others are simple and easy to satisfy.

On the set, he was the one who got the worst scolding, and he was also badly squeezed by Li Xiuxian.

Everyone knows the famous line in A Chinese Odyssey-he looks like a dog.

Actually, this sentence comes from a sentence that Li Xiuxian scolded Stephen Chow on the set. Because Stephen Chow played very seriously, Li Xiuxian thought it was too much, pointing directly at Stephen Chow's nose and scolding him: "Acting is not hard work. Why do you work as hard as a dog?"

Stephen Chow's references to Li Xiuxian are all good words. "I am very grateful to Mr. Li, because he didn't give this opportunity to others, but he gave it to me. Without Mr. Li, I might be nothing. "

Including the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards, Stephen Chow won the Best Director Award for shaolin soccer, and he still thanked Li Xiuxian in his acceptance speech.

But Li Xiuxian doesn't think so. He has so far declared that Stephen Chow is an ungrateful villain.

After winning the Golden Horse Award, Stephen Chow was finally able to be an actor, acting in two films, Heroes of the Earth and He Comes from Jianghu, and began to cooperate with Ng Man Tat to show his nonsense talent.

it's amazing that he is a man of few words, but he is extremely crazy when he plays.

According to May Fung Mei kei, a Hong Kong TV personality, "In the film circle, Star Boy's initial contract was signed to Universal Film Company in Li Xiuxian, and the price was of course very cheap. Later, Star Boy became very popular, and all the major film companies in Hong Kong wanted to sign him, but Star Boy refused.
