The inspirational short story behind the success of actor Stephen Chow 1
Stephen Chow was born in Hong Kong on June 22nd, 1962. His ancestral home is Ningbo, Zhejiang, and he is an actor, director, screenwriter, producer and businessman in Hong Kong, China. He graduated from the training class for wireless TV artists. The following is a short story about his success. Welcome to read it.
There is a little boy whose parents divorced when he was a child and lived with his mother. Because of the tight living conditions, a family of five people huddled in a wooden room with air leakage on all sides, slept in bunk beds, and regarded soy sauce as the best food in the world. Since he was a child, he is plain-looking and withdrawn. All the friends think he is dirty and ugly, and they don't want to play with him. After going to school, he was ridiculed and humiliated by his classmates, and was called "a wild child without a father". He once thought he was the most unfortunate person in the world.
At school, he was very naughty, active and playful, and his grades were always poor. Therefore, his mother was invited to every parent-teacher meeting.
He is crazy about boxing and martial arts, and he must watch every game. From an early age, he practiced Wing Chun Boxing and Iron Sand Palm the most, and later secretly practiced Muay Thai, and he liked Bruce Lee's own Jeet Kune Do best. He practices kung fu diligently almost every day, and even fights with other children to learn martial arts. For this reason, he is scolded by his mother. He was eager to be a master of kung fu like Bruce Lee, but he was not selected by the sports school because of his weak constitution.
His first job was as an assistant in a company, but for various reasons, he couldn't continue to work in that company.
he worked as a waiter in a teahouse and a worker in an electronics factory, but the results were not long.
in 1983, he graduated as a Hong Kong wireless artist. In the same year, he was selected as the host of the children's program "43 space shuttle", which lasted for four years. At that time, a reporter wrote such a report that he was only suitable to be the host of children's programs. He posted this report in the most eye-catching position on the bedside, reminding and encouraging himself from time to time: clench your fists and make sure to create a decent career and make people look at themselves with new eyes!
From then on, he gave full play to his potential and became obsessed with performing arts. From his early walk-on, he stepped into the film and television circle step by step. However, in the star-studded Hong Kong film and television circle, he can only play some unknown bit part, and barely mix a box lunch. He never chose to give up when he failed, nor did he try to compare with others. He wrote in his diary: one step at a time, try to be yourself!
I have a real personal experience: on the set, he once played a dead body and was burned to death. When the director didn't stop, he kept fighting back the pain. This almost cruel and determined performance has gradually made him famous in the circle. Then, he found a new way and endowed his role with humorous and playful style. It is a seemingly absurd "nonsense" performance. And the contradiction between the philistinism of the little people and the justice, which made him a precedent for comedy performance.
Although he didn't become a kung fu master like Bruce Lee in the end, he became the most famous comedian with another art form that the audience loved. His name was Stephen Chow. Twenty years ago, he was called "Star Boy". Twenty years later, his name was "Star Master". The global box office of Kung Fu alone exceeded HK$ 6 million, which created the box office myth of Hong Kong movies.
The definition of success is sometimes as simple as that. Like Stephen Chow, no matter what position he is in, he doesn't care what others say, let alone compare with others. The past is not equal to the future. The key is how to play an extraordinary role in an ordinary post. Many times, success means being the best you can be. The inspirational short story behind actor Stephen Chow's success 2
After graduating from the Hong Kong Radio Artist Training Class, Stephen Chow was not given the opportunity to perform his beloved performance immediately, but was arranged to take over from his friend Tony Leung Chiu Wai and be the host of the children's entertainment program "43 Shuttle", which was broadcast at 4: 3 pm. Stephen Chow stayed here for six years. This is undoubtedly painful for a young man who is determined to become a great actor.
During this period, Stephen Chow watched Tony Leung Chiu Wai take over TV series and movies, and soon became a big hit. However, he was the host of a children's program that he didn't like, and he had to endure the indifference and discrimination of others. A big brother in the film industry said in public that he "lives like a dog", a big sister in the entertainment circle said that he "will never be popular" and a good friend said that he "daydreams all day and fantasizes about becoming a big star". What is even more embarrassing is that a newspaper commented that Stephen Chow is only suitable for being a children's program host, not an actor.
In the face of all kinds of humiliation, Stephen Chow didn't give up on himself. Instead, he seriously cut out the report in that newspaper and posted it on his bedside wall to motivate himself and vowed to start a great career. Later, as we all know, Stephen Chow became a comedy master with countless fans by his "nonsense" performance.
Coincidentally, David Beckham, a soccer heartthrob, had a similar experience. In the 1998 World Cup in France, David Beckham was sent off for kicking someone, which led to England's 1-to-11 penalty shootout against Argentina and was eliminated, thus stopping the top 16 of the World Cup. Beckham is naturally to blame for this result, and he has paid a heavy price for his irrational behavior.
Overnight, David Beckham changed from a favored son to a public enemy of England, and the fans in his hometown, who once loved David Beckham most, stared at him with angry eyes at the stadium. In order to make himself ashamed and forge ahead, Beckham enlarged the photo of "Anger of Fans" and hung it on the wall of his living room to remind himself never to forget the pain of failure.
Mencius said, "shame on the people's congress." Shame is the basis of defending our self-esteem and the motive force of pursuing self-improvement. In life, each of us will inevitably encounter cold eyes, criticisms and insults. In the face of humiliation, some people are insensitive and indifferent to it, just like the wind passing through the waves without a trace; Some people seem to have suffered a devastating blow and can't bear the heavy pressure, so they sink; Some people, such as Stephen Chow and Beckham, hang humiliation on the wall as an upward motivation to motivate themselves to never stop moving forward.
No one knows how many unknown bitterness and grievances are hidden behind the success of the successful people. But I believe that there are always some people who can face up to the humiliation given by others, be brave after knowing the shame, and hang the humiliation on the wall as the match to detonate their own small universe. And such a person will certainly be able to firmly grasp the fruits of success in his hands. The inspirational short story behind the success of actor Stephen Chow 3
Stephen Chow was only seven years old in the year when his mother divorced his father. He was awarded to his mother, Ling Baoer, together with his sister Zhou Wenji and Zhou Xingxia. In Hong Kong in 1968, a woman with three children was struggling for a living, and it was hard to imagine. In order to make ends meet, Ling Baoer took two jobs alone. To her relief, the children are very clever and sensible, especially Stephen Chow, who has excellent academic performance and is most loved by Ling Bao Er. There is only one thing that bothers Ling Bao Er.
All three children are growing up, so no matter how difficult it is, every weekend, Ling Baoer has to cut some meat or buy a fish to feed the children. Perhaps it is too spoiled at ordinary times, or it is rare to eat fish once. As soon as the food is served, Stephen Chow takes the food to his face and chooses the good food. Sister and sister are very sensible and never argue with him. But Stephen Chow's appetite is so small that he can't eat any more after two bites. Then, he started fooling around, always picking two pieces, chewing them in his mouth twice, and then spitting them on the plate. What he chewed, his sister won't eat it! In order not to waste, Ling Baoer had to eat by himself.
Ling Baoer criticized Stephen Chow for this, but it didn't work at all. Fortunately, Stephen Chow did well in other aspects. After a long time, Ling Bao Er let him go. Children, how can they be naughty?
But once, Ling Baoer was really angry and gave Stephen Chow a good lesson.
On that occasion, Ling Baoer didn't get his salary for two months, so he finally got some money from her family and bought some chicken legs, which were golden and fragrant. As soon as the food was served, Stephen Chow climbed onto the table like a little monkey, grabbed a chicken leg with his hand, chewed it, and made faces at his sister. Inadvertently, my hand slipped and the chicken leg fell to the ground, covered with dust. Ling Baoer is angry and distressed. Is it easy to buy these chicken legs? Think again about Stephen Chow's naughty performance at ordinary times, and Ling Baoer decides to teach him a good lesson. She took a mulberry tree and slapped Stephen Chow ten times: "Let you be naughty and you don't know how to cherish it!" It wasn't until Zhou Wenji and Zhou Xingxia came to protect Stephen Chow under his body that Ling Baoer put down the mulberry leaves and hugged the three children and wept bitterly.
I cried for a long time before I started eating. Ling Baoer picked up the chicken leg, washed it with boiling water, and ate it himself.
That night, Ling Baoer stroked Stephen Chow's wound and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"Will you be naughty next time?"
In the dark, Stephen Chow's eyes are very bright. He smiles "hee hee": "Go to sleep, Mom, I have a class tomorrow."
In 21, when Stephen Chow and Ling Baoer visited Phoenix Satellite TV, they talked about the past again.
"Yes, he was really naughty at that time. I had no idea how hard this meal came and didn't cherish it at all." Ling Baoer smiled kindly.
"No, Mom, I know how to cherish it," Stephen Chow took the conversation and her voice began to choke. "Do you think if I don't get the chicken leg on the ground, will you be willing to eat it? In those years, you gave us all the delicious food, and you ate pickles all day! So we came up with this idea. After I chewed a few pieces of fish badly, my sister and I had an excuse not to eat. Only in this way will you eat! "
After hearing this, Ling Baoer's mood became excited: "Actually, I should have thought that you are so clever and sensible, why do you eat so naughty?" Ling Baoer sobbed and took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes.
Stephen Chow smiled with two lines of tears. In front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers, the mother and son hugged each other. Countless viewers also shed tears at this moment. The inspirational short story behind the success of actor Stephen Chow 4
There is such a person.
He was born in a mainland immigrant family in Hong Kong, lived in a poor area in Kowloon and lived a poor life. A family of five huddled in a narrow wooden room, slept in a bunk bed, and made rice with soy sauce as a world delicacy. At the age of seven, his parents divorced, and he lived with his mother, sister and younger sister.
In the summer vacation of junior high school, he often worked to make money to supplement his family, earn pocket money for himself, buy comic books to watch movies, practice kung fu and indulge in break dancing. Recalling that time, he said, "I had several summer jobs, such as selling glasses and electrical appliances. The most impressive thing is that I went to the restaurant to sell my heart, with a monthly salary of about 6 Hong Kong dollars. I've seen all the weirdos who work in restaurants, and if they don't respond quickly, they will be scolded by the guests, so I must be eloquent and polite. "
At that time, it was the golden age of television development in Hong Kong. He grew up with a passion for martial arts and was obsessed with it. He wanted to give it a try, join the industry and play a role. So he called his friend Tony Leung Chiu Wai, and the two of them ran to the mountain and filmed an 8-minute short film privately. Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who became famous, said, "It was all his idea. At that time, I didn't understand acting. He was both a director and an actor in that short film. I was just an actor. The story is mainly about the fight between the good guys and the bad guys on the mountain. In the end, the good guy won, and he arranged for me to play the bad guy. In the end, the role I played was ruthlessly killed by him ... That was for the two of us, and I was just playing.
At that time, he daydreamed all day, often mentioning the TVB wireless art training class, fantasizing about becoming a big star, and even encouraging Tony Leung Chiu Wai to apply for the wireless artist training class together. Both of them took the exam, but the last notice was that Tony Leung Chiu Wai was admitted, and he lost the election. In 1982, with his love of acting, he took the exam twice in a row and finally entered the night training class for Hong Kong TVB artists. In August 1992, when asked by the reporter of Film Biweekly, he said with certainty, "If I haven't passed the exam, I will continue to take it again because it is my interest. "
There were many stars in this issue, such as Wu Zhenyu, Bobby Au—Yeung, Guan Lijie and Li Zixiong. Wu Zhenyu was even worse than him, and he didn't get in for three times in a row, but Wu Zhenyu didn't give up because of this, and only got in for the fourth time.
He was a walk-on for quite a long time after graduation. In the famous Legend of the Condor Heroes, he played a bit part who was killed by Mei Chaofeng without a single line. At that time, he felt that it was a little unreal for the director to design himself to be beaten to death, so he designed a rebellious action. He also went to discuss with the assistant director, but the director immediately rejected it. After that, he kept putting forward his own views, and of course he was repeatedly rejected. This walk-on actor, who hopes to block one more hand, has reached an obsession with acting at this time.
Then he took over a children's program and worked in obscurity for five years. In his spare time, he goes to the movies every day, studies things about acting skills, studies the genre of acting methods, studies books every day, and discusses with people what acting skills are. He said, "At that time, I studied acting all day and watched other actors perform. "
The man who had a rough experience and was quite frustrated for a long time was the famous Stephen Chow. With his love for drama, he has not been depressed and abandoned himself, but has been firmly accumulating internal forces in adversity.
Stephen Chow summed up his long wait before he became famous and said, "You know what? I enjoy it in that state. Everyone else thinks you can't do it, so you just study it and get stuck in it. I feel very lonely, but also very romantic ..... I have worked so hard to study the performance for 6 years. In this way, I won't be afraid when I get a chance. Because I have prepared for such a long time, I have laid a good foundation. ""My history of struggle is not unique, and the society is everywhere ... How can ordinary people like us make achievements if they don't rely on their faith and fighting spirit? "
It seems that we never lack opportunities. What we lack is the preparation and efforts we have been making for opportunities and the capital we need to seize them. If you want to get a chance, you should cultivate yourself first.
