In 1950s and 1960s, Hong Kong ushered in two waves of mainland immigrants.
1962 was born in Stephen Chow, Hong Kong on June 22nd, and is a descendant of this group of immigrants. Stephen Chow's mother Ling Baoer used to be a teacher in Chinese mainland, and her father was a judge.
According to Hong Kong media reports, 1957, after his father was imprisoned, Ling Baoer went to Hong Kong with his mother from Guangdong to make a living as a "black five".
At that time, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry developed rapidly, but it was not easy for new immigrants to find jobs. First of all, they need someone to guarantee and deposit.
After coming to Hongkong, Ling Baoer soon married an immigrant from Shanghai, because he had no money. They lived in the slums of 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 cell fights are very entertaining.
Stephen Chow has a sister and a younger sister. My sister's name is Zhou. They are all common names, but his name is the most special. The original names of other stars are very rustic, so they have to change their names before they debut. For example, Andy Lau's real name is, Jackie Chan's real name is, and Feng's real name is ... 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 that this was written according to Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting. "Xiongzhou is foggy, the stars are shining, and the platform is at the turn of summer, and the guest and the host are beautiful in the southeast." "
There is a mother who went to college, but it is different. Of course, this mother also influenced Stephen Chow's life.
When Ling Bao Er married Stephen Chow's father, there was less love and more for life.
It is 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 the children belonged to her.
This point was mentioned in Stephen Chow's later interview. He has become a star, and when he talks about his parents, he still shows the expression of being hurt like a child.
Everyone should know that parents should avoid their children when quarreling, because they should take care of their children's mental health. Parents often quarrel in front of their children, which will make them feel worried, scared and sad, thus losing confidence in the future of their families.
When a person's childhood is painful, he will have a tendency of selective amnesia and even split 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. Perhaps 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' struggle, not for fun, but because he didn't want to face the cruel facts, so he tried to describe his parents' struggle in front of him from a relaxed perspective. Stephen Chow regards himself as a bystander, which on the one hand makes him less painful to recall, on the other hand, he tends to escape and split.
Of course, Stephen Chow has no real split personality, but his versatility can be seen by everyone in the future.
There are two people in the play, some say he is gentle, others say he is stingy and harsh. There are many comments on both poles.
In Hong Kong, 1970, a single mother with three children showed her difficulties. After the divorce, Ling Baoer had to work two jobs every day.
One of her jobs was as a cashier in a restaurant, so every time Stephen Chow left school, she would cook noodles for her son (there were many scenes about eating noodles in Stephen Chow's movies later).
On June 22nd, Stephen Chow was born in Cancer. Cancer boys are very Oedipus. They often say "My mother says …". Please pay attention to this.
Because it is difficult to earn money by working outside the home, Stephen Chow and her sister are fostered in grandma's house. Grandma usually sells nail clippers for a living, 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 over and over again. People over 50 can see how sensitive they are.
Yuqi Zhang once said that Stephen Chow likes to tell people about his childhood.
Strong mothers often have weak sons. It can be said that Stephen Chow's mother influenced his life.
His powerful mother inside and outside made him feel inferior. Of course, he feels inferior and conceited. He often says that he is a handsome guy and quite narcissistic, but his inferiority complex has always accompanied him. This is also related to his cancer. Cancer men are more likely to feel inferior.
Master Xing is famous for his filial piety, saying that he is more suitable for Oedipus. I'm afraid I was the first person to bring my mother to the celebration dinner.
2 1 The Academy Awards brought the mother again. Have you ever seen such an Oedipus star?
Many people think that Stephen Chow's true character is similar to that in the movie, but the fact is just the opposite.
In the play, he speaks very fast, but outside the play, he speaks very slowly. He speaks and makes decisions very slowly. This is what Yuqi Zhang said.
Even in the face of his mother, he seldom speaks.
In the eyes of his mother, Ling Baoer, when he was a child, Stephen Chow couldn't say a few words a day at home. She even thinks her son has a brain problem.
As there are no other men at home, Stephen Chow has been quiet since he was a child. Ling Baoer mentioned that if she asked her son if he would like to go with her before going out on the street, he would usually shake his head and watch the street view for two hours.
It is said that these street scenes are the inspiration for Stephen Chow's later comedy creation.
This shows that Stephen Chow was a man of few words since he was a child.
This can also explain why he has never responded to the entertainment circle for so long, being scolded by others, being mentioned by others, and being revealed by others. This is really not because he is guilty.
For decades, he never quarreled with media people, and he didn't like to respond to negative news, so many people thought that Stephen Chow was tacitly accepting those negative news.
The so-called three-year-old is old. When I was a child, Stephen Chow was shy except for silence.
Ling Baoer said that she used to take Stephen Chow out for dinner. As long as there are outsiders, when she was a child, Stephen Chow covered her face with a menu and let her have a meal.
In his early twenties, Stephen Chow himself admitted, "I am very shy. Some people usually speak loudly, hoping that someone will notice him. I'm not like that. I usually like listening to others. I like listening to loud people best. If you give me a play, I can get into the play and act like an actor, but I usually can't. I think I like acting. "
How shy is he? Refuse to create a sex scene!
Including his reluctance to go public every time he falls in love, there are also some shy factors.
1996, Stephen Chow was 34 years old. Dong Shengyi admired him and encouraged Stephen Chow to transform from a comedian. When Dong Shengyi was preparing Pornography, he planned to find Stephen Chow as the leading role, and even the script was tailor-made for Stephen Chow.
But "erotic men and women" need to undress and unbutton their pants, and Stephen Chow finally failed to get along with Dong Shengyi. Later, this was the temporary roof of Leslie Cheung, 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 often go out to play, are extroverted and good at expression usually have higher emotional intelligence 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 gives him Chinese hamburger every meal, but every time Stephen Chow puts the leftover meat in his mouth and takes a bite before spitting it out. What's more, once he threw the whole chicken leg on the ground, and her mother thought he was selfish and couldn't help beating him.
Until later, Stephen Chow came to Phoenix TV with her mother, and the host asked Stephen Chow about her childhood. Ling Baoer talked about Stephen Chow's misdeeds when he was a child, and finally Stephen Chow explained 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.
But Stephen Chow asked Phoenix Satellite TV to cut this detail afterwards, and he felt that he was too rude.
This inarticulate and inarticulate character should have caused more than one misunderstanding in his life.
And his bad words also let him miss opportunities frequently.
Although when he grew up, his facial features were not seriously damaged and his appearance was not bad-but his long-term poor family, poor academic performance in school, teachers' neglect and short stature made young Stephen Chow have no confidence in himself.
Fortunately, practicing kungfu with idol Bruce Lee can make him escape from reality temporarily and indulge in his kungfu dream.
If he had any advantages at that time, it was that he didn't know much about the world and was very simple.
Middle-class children are more likely to continue to develop upward. 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 even more unsmiling in his later years.
This may be the only way, but 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 cool figure. In fact, he is a very shy person. When filming A Chinese Odyssey, I saw him sweeping the floor with a broom and migrant workers. Once he wanted to talk to me about the play after work, and he slipped a note under my hotel room door. In fact, Xing Zi is usually afraid of meeting 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 saliva to get a dead character.
Stephen Chow's bumpy struggle history should be needless to say.
After two exams, I entered the TVB training class (my childhood friend Tony Leung Chiu Wai passed an exam), and then I worked as a walk-on for a year to host the children's program "Space Shuttle 430" instead of Tony Leung Chiu Wai. 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 has hosted children's programs for six years.
20 to 26 years old, the best six years of adolescence.
If a person is good at expressing himself, maybe things will not be like this. Hosting "Space Shuttle 430" was the mental journey 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 super cute 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 was not a good host and was not allowed to be an actor.
As I said before, he is the kind of person who is silent and shy. What is the most important quality as a host? He is quick-thinking, outgoing and eloquent, which he is not good at.
Not to mention then, even now, he is as stiff as ever in public.
He is always nervous when facing the media. Note that every time he appears in public for an interview, sometimes his legs tremble.
Later, he left Space Shuttle 430 and worked in Happy Tonight for 1 year. He is even less suitable for variety shows. Including the video of the last program we are looking for, Stephen Chow's slow pace can't keep up with others.
Everyone around him is very comfortable, only his performance always feels problematic, either the rhythm is wrong or the hand is put in the wrong place. In short, his movements can't keep up with the beat at all.
He himself said that it can only be released in front of the camera, but it can't be released at all on the stage.
I don't know how he came here these six years. If a person works in a position he doesn't want to stay for six years, his previous ideals and ambitions will be worn away.
In the most likely period of life, it is strange to watch six years pass while others are mixed together and not feel inferior.
These years have affected his life, and the continuous comedy is 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" in front of the mirror and fantasize that he would become the protagonist one day. "Let everyone see what this is, and it is best to win an award."
But at the same time, his self-esteem has been trampled repeatedly. He once described this experience to people around him, instead of waiting to earn dozens of dollars every day, "learn to make a fried dough stick and gag with others." For a dead character, it takes a liter of saliva to win. "
This should be a painful thing for a person who is not good at interpersonal communication.
At that time, Tony Leung Chiu Wai was already in love, and his girlfriend was beautiful Margie Tsang, who was praised by TVB as a popular niche.
Stephen Chow, nobody likes him at all, but he likes Lan Jieying (a 30-year-old woman in A Chinese Odyssey, who is now down and out in the street), but Lan Jieying doesn't like him at all.
Li Xiuxian pointed to his nose and called him like a dog.
Fortunately, although she debuted late, Stephen Chow's adolescence was longer than others, and she looked younger than her peers in her twenties.
From 65438 to 0988, 26-year-old Stephen Chow was appreciated by Li Xiuxian, who starred in the film Pioneer of Thunderbolt and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.
He sat in the audience and heard the host say Stephen Chow's name. He carefully asked the person next to him, are you sure it's me?
When I received my prize on stage, my Mandarin was also poor. I said, "I will continue to work hard", which is very cute.
In fact, others are very simple and easy to satisfy.
On the set, he was the one who got the worst scolding, and he was badly squeezed by Li Xiuxian.
Everyone knows the famous line in A Chinese Odyssey-he looks like a dog.
In fact, this sentence comes from a sentence that Li Xiuxian scolded Stephen Chow on the set. Because Stephen Chow acted very seriously, Li Xiuxian felt 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 mentioned that Li Xiuxian is a good word. "I am very grateful to Miss Li, because he didn't give this opportunity to others, but he gave it to me. Without Mr. Li, I may be nothing. "
Including 2 1 hong kong film award, 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. So far, he has declared that Stephen Chow is an ungrateful villain.
After winning the Golden Horse Award, Stephen Chow finally became an actor. He starred in two films, Heroes on Earth and He Comes from Jianghu, and began to cooperate with Ng Man Tat to show his nonsense talent.
Miraculously, he is a man of few words, but he is extremely crazy when playing ball.
According to May Fung Mei kei, a Hong Kong TV celebrity, "In the film circle, the original contract of Star Boy was signed with Universal Studios of Li Xiuxian, and the price was of course very cheap. Later, Xingzi became very popular. All the big film companies in Hong Kong wanted to sign him, but Xingzi refused to nod. "
In fact, Stephen Chow needs some money to move, and he wants to move out of the old house with his mother and family.
1990 After filming The Gambler, Stephen Chow made some money and moved into a new house with his family. He also told his mother Ling Baoer that no matter what happened in the future, the house should not be sold.
Li Xiuxian is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It's hard to see Stephen Chow become famous overnight. He immediately asked Stephen Chow to make several films at a very low price (700,000). At that time, outside film companies paid Stephen Chow millions or even nearly 10 million.
Needless to say, Li Xiuxian hopes that all films made by Stephen Chow are of low quality, such as Descendants of the Dragon and Lover, which are totally out of line with Stephen Chow's style.
In order to stop making such films, Stephen Chow began to avoid Li Xiuxian, so there was news of Stephen Chow's ingratitude.
As a matter of fact, Stephen Chow didn't mistreat Li Xiuxian, except that he helped Universal Studios to make several inexplicable films. Two years later, when Xiang Huaqiang was poached by Yongsheng Film Company at a high price, Li Xiuxian made a fortune from it.
The most incredible thing is that Li Xiuxian cheated Stephen Chow severely. He didn't destroy the film contract with Stephen Chow, but sold it directly to Xiang Huaqiang with mafia background.
In other words, Stephen Chow can still get 700,000 yuan for filming Xiang Huaqiang.
You can look at the box office of Hong Kong film market in those two years. Among the highest-grossing 10 movies, 7 were from Stephen Chow, and their box office exceeded 30 million yuan, while Stephen Chow only got 700,000 yuan.
Moreover, most of the funny plots in these films are invented by Stephen Chow himself, which can be regarded as both editing and acting.
Teresa Mo, a Hong Kong actress who has worked with Stephen Chow, said: "Stephen Chow is a strange person. In the past, we all wanted to do our duty as actors, but he wasn't. I was playing with him at that time, and he asked for a script change all day. Now I understand why he did that. He only thinks about how to play a good trick. We people often care about interpersonal relationships, but he ignores this. "
Teresa Mo said that Stephen Chow was tired of changing the script.
Li Lichi, the director of Tong Pak Hu Dian Qiu Xiang, revealed the news himself. At that time, Stephen Chow was basically thinking about the script lines himself, and then let the screenwriter write them.
Stephen Chow is in charge of everything on the set. It is said that "Nine Pieces of Sesame Officer" is arranged by lighting art, and everyone calls him "Taiwanese director". He has paid far more than an actor's duty. But he's not even a director or a screenwriter.
Whoever invests in Stephen Chow is the enemy of the mafia boss.
After being signed by Xiang Huaqiang, Stephen Chow not only didn't get paid, but got into the background of the underworld.
Ng Man Tat later said on the show that he and Stephen Chow were both threatened by the underworld.
I believe everyone has heard that Stephen Chow is suspected to be a member of the underworld "Xinyian". In order to prove his innocence, he fought two lawsuits and ended in failure.
In the meantime, he wanted to avoid Li Xiuxian and Xiang Huaqiang and immigrate to Canada. But it's no use. And he is the kind of person who never complains to the media without saying anything.
If he can learn to cry for the camera as skillfully as Eva Huang, maybe no one will use the underworld to black him now.
Few people know how much effort Stephen Chow has made to get rid of Xiang Huaqiang. Xiang regards Stephen Chow as a cash cow, and certainly doesn't want him to fly solo.
The Canadian Immigration Bureau thinks that Stephen Chow is related to the underworld because he received an anonymous report from people in Hong Kong, saying that Stephen Chow became an actor to help Hong Kong gangsters launder money.
Who is this informer? There is no evidence or confirmation, but many people suspect that this is a play directed by Xiang Huaqiang, in order to prevent Stephen Chow from leaving.
In fact, Stephen Chow wanted to start his own business long ago, and relied on the company in Huang Baiming to find him to shoot "Happy Family". He asked for 8 million yuan in one breath, so he set up his own company and invested in filming A Chinese Odyssey, which resulted in a big loss.
After that, he turned over with Gourmet and filmed king of comedy, which he wanted to shoot.
Later, Stephen Chow raised money everywhere to shoot shaolin soccer. Xiang Huaqiang was asked why he didn't vote. Xiang Huaqiang said that Stephen Chow would not be willing to give Stephen Chow a billion dollars.
This is a fact. Xiang Huaqiang has oppressed Stephen Chow 10 for many years. How can I go back? When raising money for shaolin soccer, Xiang Huaqiang intervened in every way, even saying that whoever gave money to Stephen Chow was the enemy. Later, Lin Xiaoming took action, and Stephen Chow raised all the funds.
With the great success of shaolin soccer, there is a wave of "anti-Stephen Chow" in the circle, among which Jing Wong, a subordinate of Xiang Huaqiang, is the most active.
You can see for yourself. Almost all the bad news about Stephen Chow is old scores, and then some people find the media to publish it several times a year.
Although Ng Man Tat, Luo Jiaying and others have repeatedly said that they have no contradiction with Stephen Chow, the media that published these contents ignored the facts.
Some people even talked about "Ji Gong" filmed by Stephen Chow in 1993, because there was a line in it: "Li Xiuyuan, I will kill your family."
The media said it was evidence of Stephen Chow's ingratitude, and it was also a personal attack on his teacher Li Xiuxian through the film. But these media don't know it well. Before Jigong became a monk, his real name was Li Xiuyuan.
But as always, Stephen Chow didn't explain or complain, and even if it was good for him, he wouldn't stand up and say anything.
At this time, Stephen Chow's love story will be interrupted, which is also a point that Stephen Chow is often criticized by people.
At 28, Stephen Chow finally fell in love. This woman is Luo Huijuan, an actress who is also in TVB. Her name is Juanmei.
They fell in love in 1988, and broke up in 1992 due to Athena Chu's intervention.
1990, Stephen Chow performed 1 1 drama. At that time, he was still in love with Juanmei, and he was too busy to touch the ground. Later, in an interview with Chai Jing, Stephen Chow said: "If I can start over, I hope I am not so busy."
Luo Huijuan and Stephen Chow should still be childlike hearts, because Luo Huijuan and Stephen Chow were not popular at that time, and they were both struggling.
However, the momentum of Stephen Chow suddenly broke out in 1990. In the same year, Luo Huijuan also filmed TV series in TVB.
Juanmei did not catch up with her most popular time, but caught up with her most handsome time.
If Athena Chu doesn't get involved, maybe she will really get married.
1992, Stephen Chow filmed Truant Veyron 2.
Liu Zhenwei recalled that one day he and Stephen Chow were sitting in a hotel for dinner, and Stephen Chow told him, "I don't know why I fell in love with a girl so easily." Liu Zhenwei replied with a smile: "I said please don't abuse the word' love', you call it a playboy! After listening to this, he felt bored and bowed his head to eat and stopped talking. Afterwards, I think Xing Zi is mainly too lonely, and smart people are lonely. "
This year, the gossip media in Hong Kong captured the dating information of Stephen Chow and Athena Chu, and wrote many articles about the love triangle between Stephen Chow, Luo Huijuan and Athena Chu, which caused a sensation.
However, Stephen Chow and Athena Chu did not make a public statement or deny it. At 1994, some media reported that the two of them began to talk about marriage.
In fact, Stephen Chow has always wanted to get married. He and Juanmei also talked about marriage. When they came to Athena Chu, they also talked about marriage.
So Stephen Chow is indebted to Juanmei, and he hasn't disclosed how to deal with her. However, Stephen Chow seems to have reached a tacit understanding with all the actresses she has contacted, that is, not to have an open relationship.
At that time, Stephen Chow was a popular fried chicken in Southeast Asia, and the outside world had begun to call him Master Xing.
After playing truant with Veyron 2, Athena Chu quickly became popular because of her love affair with Stephen Chow.
According to Ming Pao Weekly, Master Xing ran for eight years before he became a walk-on and Athena Chu became famous as soon as he made his debut. She is so lucky.
So, Juanmei caught up with Xingye's most handsome time, and Athena Chu caught up with Xingye's most beautiful time.
1995, there was a rift in the relationship between Stephen Chow and Athena Chu, and the time they spent together happened to be three years.
As for the reasons for the breakup, Athena Chu, who is nine years younger than Stephen Chow, said in an interview with Ming Pao Weekly in June that year that Stephen Chow's love thought was not mature enough. "He is a good man. In the past few years, I have mentioned breaking up many times. He cherished me and never promised. But this time I'm determined to do it. At first, I thought the problem was with myself, but later I found out that his mind was immature. "
Athena Chu said that she broke up voluntarily. It is precisely because Athena Chu constantly introduced herself and Stephen Chow to the media that this is the most famous of Stephen Chow's four relationships (Luo Huijuan, Athena Chu, Karen Mok and Yu Wenfeng).
One keeps talking, and the other never talks. You can imagine who the media likes better.
But this kind of thing, feelings, can't say who is right or wrong, and Stephen Chow, as a man, is bound to bear greater responsibility. However, Stephen Chow was blocked by the media in the past and couldn't bear to say: "Athena Chu is not stupid enough."
This sentence is also very meaningful. Now that I think about it, it should mean that Athena Chu is not as simple as Juanmei, right?
this is
Why do so many people hack Stephen Chow's original text (in fact, it is far from enough, but it has exceeded the limit of the number of words to answer).
Want to know more, I recommend you to take a look at this.
p/3205565255？ pn= 1
Because I can't write anymore.
