Why do so many people hate Stephen Chow?

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

In the 1950s and 1960s, Hong Kong ushered in two waves of immigrants from the mainland.

Stephen Chow, who was born in Hong Kong on June 22, 1962, is the descendant of this group of immigrants. Stephen Chow's mother, Ling Baoer, studied in a normal school in mainland China, and her father is a judge.

According to Hong Kong media reports, Ling Baoer went to Hong Kong from Guangdong with her mother to make a living after her father was imprisoned in 1957.

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

After coming to Hong Kong, Ling Baoer quickly married an immigrant from Shanghai because she had no money. They lived in the slums of Kowloon at the time and gave birth to two daughters and one son. A family of five people lived in one room. In a narrow wooden room.

Stephen Chow said that when he was a child, he thought soy sauce rice was the most delicious food in the world.

My parents’ artistic talents are very entertaining when used in fighting

Stephen Chow has an older sister and a younger sister. The older sister is named Zhou Wenji and the younger sister is named Zhou Xingxia. They are both very common names, except His name is the most special. The original names of other celebrities are relatively unsophisticated and they had to change their names before their debut. For example, Andy Lau, whose real name is Liu Furong, Jackie Chan, whose real name is Chen Gangsheng, Feng Delun, whose real name is Feng Jincai... but Stephen Chow does not need 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 the Pavilion of Prince Teng", "The misty columns of Xiongzhou, the handsome stars, This sentence comes from the fact that the emperor of Taiwan is at the crossroads of Yi and Xia, and the guest and host enjoy the beauty of the southeast. "

It is different to have a mother who has studied in college. Of course, this mother also influenced Stephen Chow's life.

When Ling Baoer married Stephen Chow’s father, it was less about love and more about life.

It is normal to have different personalities. The two often quarrel and even fight. Ling Baoer was a sweetheart and eventually chose to divorce her husband, and the custody of the children was given to her.

This point was mentioned in Stephen Chow's later interviews. Now that he has become a celebrity, when talking about his parents, he still shows a hurt expression like a child.

Everyone should know that parents should avoid their children when they quarrel, because the mental health of the children must be taken into consideration. Parents often quarrel in front of their children, which will cause worry, panic and sadness in the children's hearts, thus affecting the future of the family. Lose confidence.

When a person has a painful childhood, he will suffer from selective amnesia and even tend to have a split personality.

Stephen Chow said in the interview: "My parents are both very artistic people. Every move they make is very entertaining. Even their fights are very interesting. Maybe because my mother is not that kind of person." She is a kind of weak woman, so their quarrels and even fights often have unexpected results."

A Hong Kong psychologist analyzed Stephen Chow's mentality and believed that he interpreted his parents' fights as "very entertaining". This incident was not meant to be funny, but because he did not want to face the cruel facts, so he tried to use a relaxed perspective to describe his parents fighting in front of him. Stephen Chow regarded himself as a bystander. On the one hand, he could not recall it. So painful, on the other hand, there is a tendency to escape and split.

Of course, Stephen Chow does not have a real split personality, but his versatility is what everyone can see in the future.

There are two people on and off the screen. Some people say he is gentle and gentle, while others say he is stingy and harsh. There are many comments from both ends of the spectrum.

In Hong Kong in 1970, a single mother raised three children, which shows how difficult it was. 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 was off from school, she would cook a bowl of noodles for her son to eat (later there were a lot of noodles-eating scenes in Stephen Chow's movies).

Stephen Chow was born under the zodiac sign of Cancer on June 22. Cancer boys are very Oedipal and often say "My mother said..." Pay attention to whether the Cancer men around you are like this.

Because it was very difficult to make money by working outside, Stephen Chow and his sister were fostered in their grandmother's house. Grandma usually made a living by setting up a street stall selling nail clippers. Stephen Chow and his sister helped their grandmother set up a stall on Temple Street every day.

Stephen Chow still repeatedly mentions these things from his childhood. For someone who is over 50 years old, it shows how sensitive his heart is.

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

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

His mother, who was strong both inside and outside, gave him a sense of low self-esteem. Of course, he was inferior and arrogant. He often said that he was a handsome guy and was quite narcissistic, but his low self-esteem always followed him. This is also related to the fact that he is a Cancer. Cancer men tend to have low self-esteem.

Master Xing is famous for his filial piety, so Oedipus is more suitable. She was probably the first person to bring her mother to the celebration banquet.

The 21st Academy Awards brought my mother with me again. Have you ever seen such an Oedipal star?

Many people think that Stephen Chow's character in real life is similar to that in the movie, but in fact it is exactly the opposite.

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

Even when facing his mother, he rarely speaks.

In the eyes of his mother, Ling Baoer, Stephen Chow could not speak a few words a day at home when he was a child. She even thought that her son had a brain problem.

Since there is no other male in the family, Stephen Chow has been quiet since he was a child. Ling Baoer mentioned that if she asked her son if he would go with her before going to the street, he would probably shake his head and then stand by the window and watch the two hour street view.

It is said that these various street scenes were the source of inspiration for Stephen Chow's later comedy creations.

This shows that Stephen Chow has been a taciturn man since he was a child.

This can also explain why, after being in the entertainment industry for so long, he has been scolded, mentioned, and exposed by others, but he never responded. This is really not because of a guilty conscience.

Having been in the industry for decades, he never quarrels with people in the media and does not like to respond to negative news. Therefore, many people think that Stephen Chow is acquiescing to those negative news.

As the saying goes, you can see your age at the age of three. In addition to being silent and talking little, Stephen Chow's biggest characteristic when he was a child was that he was shy.

Ling Baoer said that she used to take Stephen Chow out to eat. As long as there were outsiders around, Stephen Chow would cover his face with the menu and finish the meal like this.

In his early twenties, Stephen Chow himself admitted: "I am a shy person. Some people usually speak very loudly, hoping that someone will notice them. I am not like that, I usually like to listen to others Speaking of which, I like to listen to someone with a loud voice speak. If you give me a script and ask me to act it once, I can get involved and act like a character in the play, but I don’t think I like acting at ordinary times. ."

How shy is he? Refuse to do sex scenes!

Including that he is unwilling to make it public every time he falls in love, and there is also some shyness.

In 1996, Stephen Chow was 34 years old. Ye Dongsheng admired him very much and encouraged Stephen Chow to transform from a comedian. When Er Dongsheng was preparing for "Erotic Men and Women", he planned to find Stephen Chow as the protagonist, and even the script was customized according to Stephen Chow.

However, "Erotic Man and Woman" required him to take off his clothes and pants, so Stephen Chow and Er Dongsheng failed to reach an agreement in the end. Later, Leslie Cheung stepped in temporarily and the film was successfully completed.

Due to time constraints, there was no time to revise the script of "Erotic Man and Woman", so if you pay attention, you will find that Leslie Cheung's name in "Erotic Man and Woman" was still called "A Xing".

Practice kung fu with your idol Bruce Lee is a good way to escape reality

Everyone knows that people who are outgoing and expressive usually have higher emotional intelligence and are more likely to get ahead.

But Stephen Chow does not seem to be such a person.

When he was young, his family was poor and he had two sisters. Every time he ate, his mother always gave him some meat, but every time Stephen Chow would put the leftover meat in his mouth, bite it again and spit it out again. What went too far was that once he threw the whole chicken leg on the ground. His mother thought he was selfish and couldn't help but beat him.

It wasn’t until later that Stephen Chow brought his mother to a program on Phoenix TV. The host asked Stephen Chow about his childhood. Ling Baoer talked about Stephen Chow’s misdeeds as a child, and Stephen Chow finally told the reason why he did what he did - he found out His mother rarely ate meat, but she ordered Stephen Chow to finish the meat, so Stephen Chow deliberately soiled the meat for his mother to eat.

However, Stephen Chow later asked Phoenix TV to cut out this detail. He felt that he was too rude.

This kind of character that is not good at expressing himself and speaking poorly should have caused misunderstandings not once or twice in his life.

And his poor speech also caused him to frequently miss opportunities.

Although when he grew up, he had no flaws in his facial features and his appearance was not bad - but his long-term family poverty, poor academic performance in school, lack of attention from teachers, and relatively short stature made the young Stephen Chow has little confidence in himself.

Fortunately, practicing kung fu with his idol Bruce Lee allowed him to temporarily escape reality and indulge in his own kung fu dream.

If you want to talk about his merits at that time, it was that he didn’t know much about the world and was very simple.

It is easier for children who originally came from a middle-class background to continue to move up. But for a young man like Stephen Chow, who comes from a poor family and is silent and introverted, it is true that he has experienced more than others to reach his current achievements, which also led to his becoming more serious in his later years.

Maybe this is the only reason why he can perform unscrupulously on the screen.

Director Liu Zhenwei, who has worked with him on "Westward Journey", said, "He is often misunderstood by people for pretending to be a big name and trying to be cool. In fact, he is a very shy (shy) person." Once, I saw him sweeping the floor with a migrant worker with a broom. Once he wanted to talk to me after work, and he secretly slipped a note under the door of my hotel room. In fact, Xingzi is usually afraid of contacting strangers and is not proactive enough, so he is easy to be attacked. Misunderstanding." He was in his thirties at the time and had been popular for many years, but he was still like this.

It costs a liter of saliva to get a dead body character

It goes without saying that Stephen Chow’s ups and downs struggle history.

After two exams, he entered the TVB training class (his childhood friend Tony Leung passed the exam once), and then worked as a bit player for a year, succeeding Tony Leung in hosting the children's program "430 Shuttle". During this period, he hoped to transform into an actor like Tony Leung, but Tony Leung became famous in only one year. He hosted children's programs for six years.

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

If it were a person who was good at expressing himself, maybe things wouldn't be like this. The period of hosting "430 Shuttle" was the process of filming "The King of Comedy".

There is a line in "The King of Comedy" that says, "It will be beautiful when the sun rises." But at that time Stephen Chow didn't know when the sun would break.

Stephen Chow was also a super cute guy when he was young, with fair and rosy skin. He himself said that many nurses called the TV station to ask him how he took care of himself.

At that time, Stephen Chow was not doing well as a host, and he was not able to become an actor.

As mentioned before, he is a silent and shy person. What is the most important quality for a host? He has quick adaptability, is cheerful and outgoing, and is eloquent, which he is not good at at all.

Not to mention the time, even now, he is still as reserved as ever when facing the public.

He is always nervous when facing the media. Note that every time he appears in a public place for an interview, his legs sometimes shake.

Later he left "430 Shuttle" and worked in "Happy Tonight" for one year. He was even more unsuitable for variety shows. Including looking at the videos of previous shows, Stephen Chow's slow pace can't keep up with others.

Everyone around him was doing it with ease, but there was always something wrong with his performance. Either the rhythm was wrong, or the place where his hands were placed was wrong. In short, his movements couldn't keep up with the beat at all.

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

I don’t know how he got here in the past six years. If a person works in a position that he doesn’t want to stay in for 6 years, I believe all his former ideals and ambitions will be wiped away.

In a period when life has the greatest possibilities, watching 6 years go by while others are getting ahead, it would be strange not to feel inferior.

The past few years have affected his life. Even comedies have a melancholic feel. He is actually 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, imagining that one day he would become the protagonist, "Let everyone see how cool it is, it's best What kind of award should I get?”

But at the same time, his self-esteem was repeatedly trampled on.

He once described that experience to people around him. Instead of waiting for work just to make dozens of dollars more every day, he "learned to be very oily, making jokes and gossiping with others. For a corpse character, he spent a liter of saliva." Go for it.”

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

Tony Leung was already in a relationship at the time, his girlfriend was the beautiful Zeng Huaqian, and she was praised as a popular niche student by TVB.

As for Stephen Chow, no one likes him at all. He did have a crush on Lan Jieying (the Spring Thirty-nine Lady in "Westward Journey", now living in the streets), but Lan Jieying didn't like him at all.

Being pointed at Lee Xiuxian and scolded for acting like a dog

Fortunately, although he debuted late, Stephen Chow’s adolescence was longer than others, and he still looks good in his 20s Younger than his peers.

In 1988, the 26-year-old Stephen Chow was appreciated by Lee Xiuxian and starred in the movie "Pioneer of Thunder", winning the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.

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

When I went on stage to receive the award, my Mandarin was very poor. I said "I will continue to work hard", which was very cute.

In fact, others are very simple and easily satisfied.

On the set, he was the one who was scolded the most, and he was also squeezed miserably by Lee Xiuxian.

Everyone knows the famous line in "Westward Journey" - he is like a dog.

Actually, this sentence comes from a sentence that Lee Xiuxian scolded Stephen Chow on the set. Because Stephen Chow acted very seriously, Lee Xiuxian thought it was too much, and pointed directly at Stephen Chow's nose and scolded: "Acting is not a physical job, why are you working so hard like a dog?"

Stephen Chow mentioned that Lee Xiuxian was the same. Good words, "I am very grateful to Mr. Li, because he gave this opportunity to others but to me. Without Mr. Li, I may be nothing."

Including the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards , Stephen Chow won the Best Director Award for "Shaolin Soccer". In his acceptance speech, he still specially thanked Lee Xiuxian.

But Li Xiuxian doesn’t think so. He still claims that Stephen Chow is an ungrateful villain.

After winning the Golden Horse Award, Stephen Chow was finally able to legitimately become an actor, starring in "The Great Hero" and "He Came From Jianghu" in two consecutive films, and began to cooperate with Ng Meng-tat, showing his nonsensical talent.

The amazing thing is that he is such a taciturn person, but he is extremely crazy when acting.

According to the memory of Hong Kong TV personality Feng Meiji: "In the film industry, Xing Zai's initial contract was signed with Li Xiuxian's Universal Film Company, and the price was of course very cheap. Later, Xing Zai became very popular, and he was a major movie star in Hong Kong. The company wanted to sign him, but Xingzi never agreed. "

Actually, at that time Stephen Chow needed a lot of money to move, and he wanted to move his mother and family out of his old house.

After filming "The Gambler" in 1990, Stephen Chow earned some money and moved his family into a new house. He also told his mother, Ling Baoer, that no matter what happens in the future, this house will not be sold.

Li Xiuxian is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. After finally seeing Stephen Chow become famous overnight, he immediately let Stephen Chow make several movies in a row at a very low price (700,000). At that time, the salaries offered to Stephen Chow by outside film companies were several million per movie, or even nearly 10 million per movie.

Not to mention, the films that Lee Xiuxian asked Stephen Chow to make were all low-quality films, such as "Descendants of the Dragon", "The Lover", etc., which were completely incompatible with Stephen Chow's style.

In order not to continue making such movies, Stephen Chow began to avoid Lee Xiuxian, so there was news about Stephen Chow's ungratefulness.

In fact, Stephen Chow did not treat Lee Xiuxian badly, except that he helped Magnum Film Company make several inexplicable movies. When he was poached by Xiang Huaqiang's Yongsheng Film Company at a high price two years later, Lee Xiuxian made a fortune from it.

The most incredible thing is that Li Xiuxian severely cheated Stephen Chow. He did not destroy his film contract with Stephen Chow, but directly sold it to Xiang Huaqiang, who has a gang background.

In other words, Stephen Chow still gets a salary of 700,000 for filming for Xiang Huaqiang.

You can take a look at the box office performance of the Hong Kong film market in those two years. Among the top 10 highest-grossing movies, 7 were by Stephen Chow, all with a box office of more than 30 million, and Stephen Chow could only take 700,000.

Moreover, most of the funny plots in these movies were thought up by Stephen Chow himself, which can be regarded as both writing and acting.

Hong Kong actress Mo Shunjun, who has worked with him, said: "Stephen Chow is a very strange person. In the past, we all thought that we could just do our job as actors, but he was not. I acted with him at the time. , he asked to change the script all day long. Now I understand why he is like that, he only thinks about how to make the movie look good, and he ignores it."

She said that Stephen Chow changed the script over and over again, which annoyed her to death.

Li Lichi, the director of "Tang Bo Hu Spots the Fragrance of Autumn" himself revealed that at that time, Stephen Chow was basically thinking of the lines in the script, and then asked the screenwriter to write them.

Stephen Chow is in charge of everything on the set, and it is said that the lighting art of "The Nine Sesame Officials" is handled by himself. Everyone calls him "The Great Director", and his contribution far exceeds the duties of an actor. But he is not the director or screenwriter.

Whoever invests money in Stephen Chow is the enemy of the underworld boss

After being signed by Xiang Huaqiang, not only did Stephen Chow not get the salary he deserved, but he also got into trouble with the underworld.

Ng Man-tat also said on the show later that he and Stephen Chow were both threatened by the underworld at that time.

Stephen Chow is suspected to be a member of the underworld "Xin Ngee Ann". I believe everyone has heard of this. In order to prove his innocence, he filed two lawsuits, but failed in the end.

During this period, he wanted to avoid Li Xiuxian and Xiang Huaqiang and immigrate to Canada. But no success. And he is the kind of person who never complains to the media and never says a word.

If he could learn to cry to the camera as skillfully as Huang Shengyi, maybe no one would use the underworld to criticize him now.

How much effort Stephen Chow put in to get rid of Xiang Huaqiang, and few people know the twists and turns of the process. Xiang regards Stephen Chow as a cash cow and is definitely not willing to let him go solo.

The reason why the Canadian Immigration Bureau believed that Stephen Chow was involved in gangs was because they received anonymous reports from people in the Hong Kong circle, saying that Stephen Chow became an actor to launder money for Hong Kong gangs.

Who this whistleblower is cannot be confirmed without evidence, but many people suspect that it was Xiang Huaqiang who directed the drama to prevent Stephen Chow from leaving.

In fact, Stephen Chow wanted to start his own business for a long time. He relied on Huang Baiming's company to find him to shoot "A Happy Event in the Family", and asked for a salary of 8 million in one breath, so he established his own company and invested in the filming of "Westward Journey". The result was a complete loss.

After that, he made a comeback with "The God of Cookery" and filmed the "King of Comedy" that he wanted to film.

Later, Stephen Chow was raising money for the filming of "Shaolin Soccer". Someone asked Xiang Huaqiang why he didn't invest. Xiang Huaqiang said that if Stephen Chow was given 100 million, Stephen Chow might not be willing to take it.

This is the truth. After being bullied by Xiang Huaqiang for no less than 10 years, how could Stephen Chow be willing to go back? When raising money for "Shaolin Soccer", Xiang Huaqiang interfered in every possible way and even said that anyone who invests money in Stephen Chow is an enemy. Later, it was Lin Xiaoming who took action and Stephen Chow raised the funds.

With the great success of "Shaolin Football", an "anti-Stephen Chow" trend began to surge in the circle, and the most active person among them was Wang Jing, Xiang Huaqiang's subordinate.

If you are interested, you can read it for yourself. Almost all the news that is unfavorable to Stephen Chow is old and bad news, and some people ask the media to publish it several times every year.

Even though Ng Man Tat, Luo Jiaying and others have repeatedly said that they have no quarrel with Stephen Chow, the media that published the content ignored the facts.

Some people even used the 1993 film "Ji Gong" by Stephen Chow as an argument, because there is a line in it: "Li Xiuyuan, I will kill your whole family."

The media said it was Stephen Chow The evidence of ingratitude is the personal attack on his mentor Lee Soo-hyun through the movie. However, these media did not take a closer look. Before Jigong became a monk, his real name was Li Xiuyuan.

But Stephen Chow, as always, did not explain or complain. Even if it was something that was beneficial to himself, he would not come forward to say anything.

At this time, Stephen Chow’s love history will be inserted, which is also something that Stephen Chow is often criticized for.

At the age of 28, Stephen Chow finally fell in love with actress Luo Huijuan, who was also at TVB, known as Juanmei.

The two fell in love in 1988, but broke up in 1992 due to Zhu Yin's intervention.

In 1990, Stephen Chow acted in 11 movies. At that time, he was still in love with Juanmei and was too busy to keep his feet off the ground. Later, Stephen Chow said in an interview with Chai Jing: "If I could do it all over again, I hope I wouldn't be so busy."

Luo Huijuan and Stephen Chow should still be relatively innocent, because at that time Luo Huijuan and Stephen Chow were both Not even popular, they are all working hard.

However, Stephen Chow's momentum suddenly exploded in 1990. In the same year, Luo Huijuan was still filming TV series at TVB.

Juanmei did not catch up with him when he was most popular, but she caught up with him when he was most handsome.

If Zhu Yin didn't intervene, maybe she could actually get married.

In 1992, Stephen Chow filmed "Fighting Back to School 2".

Liu Zhenwei recalled that one day he and Stephen Chow were sitting in a hotel for dinner. Stephen Chow said to him: "I don't know why I fell in love with a girl so easily." Liu Zhenwei still smiled and replied: " I said, please don't abuse the word "love", it's called being a philanderer! He felt very boring after hearing this, lowered his head to eat and stopped talking. Afterwards, I felt that Xingzi was mainly too lonely, and smart people are all lonely. "

This year, Hong Kong's gossip media has captured the dating information of Stephen Chow and Zhu Yin, and has also written many articles about the love triangle between Stephen Chow, Luo Huijuan and Zhu Yin, which caused a sensation.

However, Stephen Chow and Zhu Yin did not make a public statement or deny it. By 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 it came to Zhu Yin, they also talked about marriage.

So Stephen Chow owes Juanmei. He has never announced how to deal with his relationship with Juanmei. However, Stephen Chow seems to have a tacit agreement with all the actresses he has dated, that is, not to make his relationships public.

At that time, Stephen Chow was a popular star in Southeast Asia, and the outside world had begun to call him Xingye.

After starring in "Fight Back to School 2", Zhu Yin quickly became popular because of her scandal with Stephen Chow.

"Ming Pao Weekly" said that Xingye had to work as a bit player for eight years before he became famous, while Zhu Yin became famous as soon as she debuted. She is too lucky.

So, Juanmei caught up with Master Xing when he was most handsome, and Zhu Yin caught up with Master Xing when he was most prosperous.

In 1995, there were cracks in the relationship between Stephen Chow and Zhu Yin, and the two got together for exactly three years.

As for the reason for the breakup, Zhu Yin, who is 9 years younger than Stephen Chow, said in an interview with "Ming Pao Weekly" in June that year that it was because Stephen Chow's love mind was not mature enough. "He is a good man. I have proposed breaking up several times over the past few years. He cherishes me and never agrees. But this time I am determined to do it. At first, I thought the problem was with me, but later I found out that it was him. I'm mentally immature."

Zhu Yin said that she took the initiative to break up. And it is precisely because Zhu Yin constantly mentioned her relationship with Stephen Chow to the media that this is also the most famous of Stephen Chow's four relationships (Luo Huijuan, Zhu Yin, Karen Mok, and Yu Wenfeng).

One keeps speaking out, and the other never refuses to speak out. One can imagine who the media prefers.

But in matters of love, one cannot say who is right or wrong, not to mention that Stephen Chow, as a man, must bear greater responsibilities. However, when Stephen Chow was blocked by the media, he couldn't bear to say: "Zhu Yin is not stupid enough."

This sentence is also very meaningful. Now that I think about it, it should be that Zhu Yin is not as simple as Juanmei, right?

This is

the original text of "Why do so many people hate Stephen Chow" (actually it is far from enough, but it has exceeded the word limit of the answer)
