The two of them not only have a good friendship now, but also have a good relationship before they become famous. When Leung accompanied Stephen Chow to interview for the TVB training class, the result was that Leung was accepted, but Stephen Chow was not favored by the interviewer, and the reason for this was a laugh.
As we all know, in the 1970s, Bruce Lee fought a day in Hollywood with his kung fu. And when Bruce Lee was a big hit, his birthday was only 5 days away from Stephen Chow and Tony Leung, both just 10 years old.
According to the land media Sohu.com “Biao said entertainment” recently disclosed that back then, Stephen Chow and Tony Leung both see Bruce Lee as an idol, especially Stephen Chow, very interested in kung fu, at a young age, want to become the second Bruce Lee.
Once, Bruce Lee’s film “Dragon Crossing” released, Stephen Chow was hit by a bicycle on his way to see the movie, and the person who hit Stephen Chow was Tony Leung. It is a coincidence that the two arrived at the theater and found that their seats were next to each other, and they had a good conversation and quickly became close friends.
The two of them once went on a trip together and saw a TV station advertising for actors. The two of them were encouraged by Stephen Chow to resign from his job as a home appliance salesman despite his mother’s opposition.
In the examination, the interviewer asked the two to cooperate in a tragic scene. Leung, who was born with melancholy eyes, easily passed the test, while Chow, who exuded hilarity from his eyebrows, was unsuccessful because, in the interviewer’s opinion, Chow had turned tragedy into comedy.
Although Zhou Xingchi felt lost, but did not give up the dream of actor, after several twists and turns he still entered the wireless training class, but the initial bad luck, up to eight years are in the running. On the other hand, Tony Leung, is a willow, a year after entering the wireless with the TV series “The Legend of the Deer” in the role of “Wei Xiaobao” became popular, and opened a career peak, with Wong Yat-wa, Andy Lau, Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye and called the “Wireless Five Tigers”. Leung later lamented, “My earliest teacher of film acting was Stephen Chow!”
Fortunately, Chow Sing Chi was later picked up by director Lee Hsiu Hsien and made his mark in the film industry, rising to fame with “The Saint of Gamblers” and “The Gambler”. Although he did not become the second Bruce Lee as he had hoped, he became the unique Chow Sing Chi, and the outside world commented that he started the era of comedy films that were named “Master Star”.
Although the reason why he was unsuccessful in the first place, but Zhou Xingchi has responded to some comments after he became famous: “The movies I played are obviously tragedies, why do you all think they are comedies?” In fact, many industry insiders believe that “the real comedy, the core is actually tragedy.” There is a saying: “Master Xing” in the film is always the main character, and the small person’s life itself is a tragedy, even if the funny is also laughing with tears.
