Edit this experience
After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the training class for wireless TV artists. 1983 became a wireless artist after graduation. In the same year, he was appointed as the host of the children's program "Space Shuttle 430" and spent four years as a child. 1987, he was assigned to play a play. His first play was Life's Journey, and then he appeared in other plays, such as From Jianghu, among which the most acclaimed one was Hero on Earth. He performed his own unique performance style in the play. In 1988, he was appreciated by director Li Xiuxian and was invited to play one of the main actors in Pioneer of Thunderbolt. This is his first film. Because of his outstanding performance, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award in the 25th Golden Horse Award in Taiwan Province Province. His illogical and neurotic acting skills have created a "nonsense" culture and become an important part of Hong Kong culture. Therefore, his films broke the box office record and brought another outlet and peak for Hong Kong comedies. He is still moving forward. ...
Hong Kong is known as "Oriental Hollywood", with an annual output of hundreds of films, including actors and actresses such as Ganges Sand. However, in the past two decades, the top spot in the box office list has almost always been "every other week". Among the three superstars with the highest box office appeal, Chow Yun Fat and Stephen Chow won many professional awards for their acting skills; Only Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow have the ability to make movies independently, and their works can be crowned with their own names; The films performed are not only full of personal characteristics, but also highly representative of society, and even repeatedly interpreted as a cultural phenomenon. Stephen Chow is the only one.
Looking back at the early days of Stephen Chow's film career, it is hard to imagine that this boy will become a superstar who plays an important role in the history of Hong Kong film. He doesn't come from a family of entertainers. He and his four brothers and sisters grew up under the care of a single mother. He is plain and has no outstanding personality. He is an average student, so he can't make much money by working. If he is related to movies, he may just admire Bruce Lee, but he wants to be a kung fu master instead of a movie star. It was not until the end of middle school that he fell in love with popular TV dramas and popular stars like many other peers, and he had the desire to be an actor. At that time, he had a good friend named Tony Leung Chiu Wai. They dreamed of being an actor together and made an eight-minute short film together. Stephen Chow became a director and a leading actor, arranged for Tony Leung Chiu Wai to play an evil villain, and dragged him into the artist training class of wireless TV station ... The result was like a dramatic movie plot: Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who accompanied him, went to high school in one fell swoop, but Stephen Chow, who was enthusiastic, fell out of the list.
Youth It was the spring of 1982, and Stephen Chow was less than twenty years old. Stubborn personality, abundant desire to perform, and the spirit of not giving up until you reach your goal have been reflected in this young man since then. After many twists and turns, he finally squeezed into the night part of the artist training class and embarked on the road of performing arts that he yearned for, but his screen career was far from ideal: when Tony Leung Chiu Wai had started to play a supporting role with a famous surname, he could only appear several scenes in the same play; When Tony Leung Chiu Wai has been packaged as "General of the Five Tigers", he is still a walk-on in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He dutifully suggested to the director that "I will stretch out my hand to block it before I die" and was reprimanded: "Hurry up and don't say so much!" ..... When Tony Leung Chiu Wai was transferred from the children's program "The 430 Shuttle" because of his soaring social status, Stephen Chow finally got a chance to replace Tony Leung Chiu Wai as the host of the 430 Shuttle.
In the memory of that generation of Hong Kong children, Brother Zhou is an unforgettable partner. He is not tall, handsome, kind or kind. He likes to be funny, likes to tell jokes, is a little ruffian and mean, and laughs and scolds children: "OK, OK, so you can talk!" " "... but the children like this unique intimacy and his unique performance. His short play "Black and White Zombie" in the program is full of jokes, which also makes children and even many adults watch it with relish.
However, this brother Zhou himself is never willing to be just a children's program host. He always has a dream about his acting career, and he always refuses to relax. He tried hard to write scripts, ponder classic movies, read theories intensively and study acting skills, but he never had a chance to show himself. Even if he has the courage to submit an application form to the film company, he will never see the boss. 1988 One night, while he was killing time in the ballroom, he met Li Xiuxian, the boss of Universal Film Company. After a brief conversation with him, the famous filmmaker gave him a valuable turning point in his acting career: he was invited to play a wandering little brother in his new film "Pioneer of Thunderbolt".
Few actors' first films are as skillful as Stephen Chow's performance in "Pioneer of Thunderbolt", and you can't see a newcomer at all. This film won him the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor and the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer, which not only attracted the attention of the film industry, but also attracted the TV station to re-examine him and gave him more opportunities to play an important role in the TV series. So, he began to star in the long TV series "Hero on Earth" and "He comes from Jianghu" ... just like the host in "430 space shuttle", he is always so vicious, unpredictable and irrelevant, but he still makes people feel kind and lovely, which makes people laugh. Many children and young people watch these performances year after year.
1990 after playing a series of younger brothers, thieves, hooligans and villains, Stephen Chow took the role of the new film Gambling Saint directed by Liu Zhenwei, and played a Jianghu gangster, which achieved good results. This film was originally a follow-up to the first year's box office champion "God of Gambling", and it was a low-cost crash film. But with the cooperation of talented directors and talented actors, an amazing spark broke out. Its fascinating plot, exaggerated and funny details, fresh elements that fit the characteristics of the times, and Stephen Chow's unique performance style made a sensation in Hong Kong, with a box office of 465,438+0.32 million, breaking the box office record since Hong Kong opened its port, and Stephen Chow himself won the Oscar for the first time. In the same year, director Jing Wong, who is good at capturing business opportunities, invited Stephen Chow to co-produce the film Gambling Man, which earned 40.3 million yuan at the box office, and tied with Gambling Saint as the champion and runner-up in the box office list. In this short period of six months, Stephen Chow became the most sought-after movie star, and even his nickname changed from "Star Boy" to "Star Master".
A person's success seems sudden, but there is always a line that can only be found after careful exploration. Stephen Chow waited for many years, and finally he got a movie that could make him give full play, and his role image and personality were very suitable. He has fully released his accumulated artistic exploration, life accumulation, performance skills, personal feelings, ambitions and passions in every shot of every work, which makes him have a distinct Stephen Chow style with different works of different directors, and can make the audience have a high sense of intimacy and identity. Although the film is mixed, it is all branded with his actions. 199 1 Stephen Chow changed the image of a gangster in the past, played an undercover detective in the movie Truant, and then broke the box office record. The other two works also entered the top ten of the box office list. From 65438 to 0992, Stephen Chow occupied seven seats in the top ten box office charts, and the top five were all his works. Moreover, with Judge Death, he won the Best Actor Award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, once again breaking the box office record. This year is called "Stephen Chow Year" by the film industry.
After 1993 won the box office championship for the fourth time in a row, Stephen Chow was no longer satisfied with joking just to cater to the audience's needs. His works more and more reflect the author's humanistic concern and thinking about life and world ideals. Although many viewers are not used to this tearful way of laughing, and the immature exploration often makes the film look neither fish nor fowl, the level fluctuates, but these efforts also make Stephen Chow gradually realize. 1995, the Moonlight Box of Journey to the West, which was painstakingly created by Stephen Chow and Liu Zhenwei, was released in issue10/kloc-0, and The Fairy of Journey to the West was released in two parts. At that time, the box office response was bleak, but in the following years, with the rampant piracy market and the popularity of the internet, it became popular in the mainland, becoming one of the classic films with the highest evaluation among young audiences in the mainland, and even affected it to some extent. Stephen Chow also walked into the lecture hall of Peking University in the puzzled eyes of Hong Kong people, although he frankly admitted that he knew little about the aura given to him by audiences such as "postmodern deconstructionists".
In the late 1990s, Stephen Chow gradually reduced his production and took part in film creation, and was officially listed as producer, screenwriter and director for many times. King of comedy is a work that clearly conveys Stephen Chow's life sentiment. Yin Tianchou's bitter pursuit of movie dreams, his bleak love with Neither of us is Happy-the willow fluttering at the end of the day, and his persistent repetition of "Actually, I am an actor" all make the audience feel more shocked and sad while smiling. This movie made Stephen Chow win the box office title again, and also made the newcomer Cecilia Cheung emerge. However, in the film critics, there are different opinions. Some viewers are disappointed with Stephen Chow, because Stephen Chow, who is relaxed and lively, has no scheming, and only takes mischief as his responsibility, is obviously gone forever.
200 1 After two years of painstaking production, Stephen Chow released the first truly "Stephen Chow's Works" shaolin soccer. The more mature interpretation, deeper connotation, the fresh combination of football and kung fu, and the rare large-scale production in Hong Kong's local films all made it the most concerned work in the Chinese film industry, which set off a frenzy of watching movies in the Hong Kong film market facing the crisis of life and death at that time, setting a miracle record of more than 63 million box office. It seems that the Hong Kong film industry didn't realize until now that it decided to give a statement to this talented superstar who broke the Hong Kong box office record four times, won the annual box office championship six times, ranked twenty-nine works in the top ten blockbuster movies of the year, and was nominated for the performance award of the Academy Awards eight times but never won the prize. At this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, "shaolin soccer" won 14 nominations and finally won 7 awards. Stephen Chow made four appearances and won the Best Film Award, Best Director Award, Best Actor Award and Outstanding Young Director Award, which became a miracle in the history of the Academy Awards. Zhang Minyi, an award-winning guest and a senior official of the Hong Kong Government, said a meaningful sentence when giving Stephen Chow the award: "I am very happy to award this award to you, because you have made many Hong Kong people laugh when they are unhappy."
In the next two years, Stephen Chow fell into seclusion again until his new work Kung Fu was released in 2005. This time, instead of focusing on individual performances, he devoted himself to teamwork and overall film creation, which made the film more profound and powerful, broke through the cultural barriers of Hong Kong more obviously, and was full of reverence and sympathy for human nature. It is not only heard in the Chinese world, but also popular in overseas markets. Once released, it broke the opening box office records in Chinese mainland, Hongkong, Taiwan Province, Singapore and Malaysia. At the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards held the following year, Kung Fu won an unprecedented nomination of 16. Although Stephen Chow himself was defeated in the competition for best director and best actor, he succeeded in winning Kung Fu as the most important award for the best film of the year.
Now Stephen Chow is quietly filming his film, and it is believed that once the new film is released, it will cause a new movie-watching frenzy. Stephen Chow can be regarded as one of the filmmakers in China who devoted their lives to the big screen. He seems to have no other hobbies except filming. His daily life is dull, and he often falls out with his partner because of his stubbornness or harshness at work, and all his feelings end in failure. However, as an excellent filmmaker, what can be more important than a successful work for the audience? Maybe it is difficult to make a breakthrough in his later works. Maybe he is old and has lost his glory. But countless people in this world have enjoyed his glory. There are countless people who will recall the time travel, the time of Supreme Treasure, Wangcai, Xiao Qiang, laughter and Stephen Chow over and over again in the yellowing years.
