How was Chen Guokun discovered by Stephen Chow and starred in legend of bruce lee?

After Bruce Lee became famous, many people wanted to imitate Bruce Lee, no matter in appearance, kung fu or inner temperament, they wanted to copy Bruce Lee again. Famous imitators include Shi Tianlong, Liang Xiaolong, Tang Long and Lv Xiaolong. They all have their own characteristics. Although they have their own characteristics in a certain respect, they were praised by dragon fans at a certain time. I think it's my personal opinion that Shi Tianlong, who looks and works like Bruce Lee, but this idea has changed since I saw legend of bruce lee starring Chen Guokun.

There is a gap between Chen Guokun's appearance and inner temperament, but with his superb acting skills and high-tech special effects, he can make up for his shortcomings. Seriously, he and Bruce Lee have many similarities, including face similarity of 80%, kung fu similarity of 60% and background similarity of 70%. Let's analyze their similarities slowly!

Face similarity is 80%

Chen Guokun can go to this step, thanks to Stephen Chow's insight. He was the first to discover that Chen Guokun looked like Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee, so shaolin soccer made Chen Guokun a super actor and made a splash. Seriously, anyone who sees Chen Guokun at first sight will wonder, "Why are you so like Bruce Lee?"? This is because Chen Guokun and Bruce Lee's faces are very similar, especially their faces, which are carved from the same mold.

They have many similarities in facial features. The only difference is that Bruce Lee's eyes are slightly rounder than Chen Guokun's, and the lines of his nose are more rounded. However, with the help of make-up, hairstyle and clothing, this subtle difference has been diluted a lot, and Chen Guokun appearing on the TV screen can almost be said to be the rebirth of Bruce Lee.

After the TV series "legend of bruce lee" was broadcast, many viewers showed great interest in starring Chen Guokun, and the similarities between him and Bruce Lee were the focus of attention. It seems that Bruce Lee was born again. He is more like Bruce Lee than Li Zhenhui. Even Li Xiangning admitted that Chen Guokun was like her father Bruce Lee, so he finally decided to play his father Bruce Lee.

Physical similarity is 90%

Like Sammo Hung/Jackie Chan/Liang Xiaolong, they are all famous for their big bodies, so they are far from Bruce Lee in appearance, while Bruce Lee's figure is thin. Because of years of hard exercise, his body is basically fat-free, and it is pure muscle. It usually looks unremarkable, but when he takes off his coat, people will be amazed. And Chen Guokun's figure also happens to belong to this type. He usually looks thin, but muscular. Plus more than a year's efforts before shooting, Chen Guokun finally "caught up" with Bruce Lee, and the scene of him playing nunchakus naked in the play is the best proof. Besides, Bruce Lee's height is 65,438+0.73m, while Chen Guokun's figure is similar. Therefore, in summary, the body similarity of the two is very high.

Kung fu similarity 60%

I think the similarity of Chen Guokun Kung Fu can only account for 60%. As a master of Kung Fu, Bruce Lee is famous for his Jeet Kune Do, leg technique and nunchaku kung fu. Not only that, his kung fu moves also have a strong personal color, including cries, movements, habitual expressions in fighting and so on. , has become a symbol in the minds of many admirers. Compared with Bruce Lee, Chen Guokun didn't practice martial arts with a teacher when he was young, but he also learned some Taekwondo and Muay Thai. Later, in order to shoot this TV series, he also found a Jeet Kune Do teacher in Hongkong, China, and practiced hard for a year, and also learned the techniques of Wing Chun and so on. Although in actual combat, Chen Guokun's kung fu is not as good as that of Bruce Lee, but on the TV screen, his one stroke and one style are already quite a generation of kung fu masters in the eyes of the audience. I think his personal appearance and stunts can be more recognized by dragon fans. His kung fu is very different from Bruce Lee's. If he has Shi Tianlong's kung fu background and his looks, I believe this TV series will be more effective.

The background similarity is 70%

Bruce Lee was born in Shunde, Guangdong, and grew up in Hong Kong, while Chen Guokun is from Hong Kong, China. The two places are not far apart and have similar customs. Bruce Lee was born in the United States, grew up in Hongkong, China, and went to the United States to study in his 60s. Later, he entered the philosophy major of Washington State University for further study. He received a combination of Chinese and western education and has a high cultural accomplishment. Chen Guokun, located in Hongkong, China, has a moderate education level, which is far from Bruce Lee. Nevertheless, there are many similarities in their life experiences. For example, neither of them has the care of their parents and relatives, and they all work hard on their own. When Bruce Lee first entered the American film industry, he encountered a lot of apathy and prejudice. In Hollywood, a commercial place, it is difficult for a yellow-skinned China person to make a name for himself. In the end, he became a superstar with his own perseverance. Before Chen Guokun was discovered by Stephen Chow, he was also an ordinary young man who made a living by photography. It was not until "legend of bruce lee" that his efforts for many years were truly known.

We made a horizontal comparison between Bruce Lee and Chen Guokun from the aspects of face similarity/figure similarity/kung fu similarity and background similarity, which made dragon fans have an intuitive effect on Chen Guokun and Bruce Lee. Seriously, they are really like father and son. He is more like Bruce Lee than Brandon Lee, while Li Zhenhui is not like Bruce Lee. Linda and Li Xiangning both admit that Chen Guokun is too much like Bruce Lee. If they stand together, it is difficult to tell them apart. what do you think?

Stephen Chow Chen Guokun discovered Bruce Lee.

When Chen Guokun was a child, he lived in Shajing Town, a relatively poor place with a poor family. Chen Guokun fell in love with Bruce Lee when he was a child. At that time, the first book his father gave him was Introduction to Taekwondo, and the first movie he saw was the Bruce Lee version of Jingwumen. When he was 10 years old, his mother began to call him "Xiaolong", and then he became more and more like Bruce Lee, and everyone said yes. One day, Chen Guokun went to a cafe to get together with friends. Just as he was about to leave, Stephen Chow walked into the cafe. He saw at a glance that Chen Guokun looked like Bruce Lee and was appreciated by Stephen Chow. 200 1 Participated in the film shaolin soccer.

In 2004, together with Stephen Chow, he starred in the action film Kung Fu, playing the axe gang leader Chen Ge. In 2005, he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards for this film.

In 2008, he became the leading actor of CCTV's "legend of bruce lee" film and television drama with comprehensive factors such as similarity, spirit likeness, kung fu and acting experience, and became the first Hong Kong actor to broadcast the TV series "The First Hero" in CCTV prime time. After the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the play was broadcast in prime time on CCTV 1 and local satellite TV, and then in more than a dozen countries and regions. Legend of bruce lee set a new record for the highest TV ratings in CCTV 10 years, reaching a share of 12.98%, creating a new wave of TV ratings in China, and winning the honors of "China's highest ratings" and "Flying Award".

Before Chen Guokun was discovered by Stephen Chow, he was also an ordinary young man who made a living by photography. It was not until "legend of bruce lee" that his efforts for many years were truly known.

He also appeared in the movie shaolin soccer 200 1. 1995 guest star in the crime film Bad Boys Club directed by Zhao Yasen, playing Xiaolong. 1996 made a guest appearance in "Young and Dangerous" series "Young and Dangerous 3 Absolute Monarch", playing the young and dangerous, nicknamed "Green Star". 200 1 starred in the comedy "shaolin soccer" written, directed and performed by Stephen Chow, and played the goalkeeper "ghost catcher" (the fourth brother of Shaolin brothers), which attracted much attention after the film was released. In 2002, he starred in the comedy "One Mosquito, One Chicken Bodyguard" directed by Hua, and then appeared in the TV series "Gambling at Sea". In 2003, he and Ken Chang starred in the action horror film The Millennium Zombie King and played Cai Xiao.

Chen Guokun once played the leader of the axe gang in Stephen Chow's film Kung Fu.

When Chen Guokun was a child, he lived in Shajing Town, a relatively poor place with a poor family. Chen Guokun, known as Xiaolong, was originally a special actor. He got to know Stephen Chow through the introduction of friends, and in 2000, he worked as a dance director for the film shaolin soccer. Later, because he looks like Bruce Lee, he was appreciated by Stephen Chow and became the main actor in shaolin soccer. Now he is a full-time actor of Xinghui. Chen Guokun looks like Bruce Lee, so he was appreciated by Stephen Chow and played the role of Bruce Lee in many TV dramas and movies. Before I met Stephen Chow, I was unknown. After I participated in Stephen Chow's films, I gradually gained popularity. Because he looks like the action superstar Bruce Lee, in memory of Bruce Lee, Chen Guokun was invited to play Bruce Lee in the TV series legend of bruce lee.

Stephen Chow himself is a big fan of Bruce Lee. It is normal to pay more attention to actors who look like Bruce Lee. This is not only because of his hobby, but also because of the need of work. Stephen Chow is not only an actor, but also a director and boss. An actor will always be an inseparable part of his staff. So it was accidental and inevitable that Stephen Chow discovered Chen Guokun, but Chen Guokun's popularity was inseparable from his own efforts.

The so-called thinking during the day and dreaming at night; Chen Guokun has been a fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child. He is as hardcore as Stephen Chow, and Zhang Anbang is also a super dragon fan. Thinking of a person every day will naturally be "born from the heart", and it is reasonable to be infinitely close to idols; Zhang Anbang has received disciples from dozens of countries in boxing teaching. Some of them are from China, and their ancestors are from China. Even their parents are from China, and they have never married anyone else. But their "foreign faces" were strange to me at first, and then I gradually understood that language and culture would make people tend to be consistent. Facial muscles that naturally speak Chinese are different from those that naturally speak English. Coupled with cultural differences, it is Zhang.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Before Chen Guokun knew Stephen Chow, he also tried to worship and imitate Bruce Lee. In addition, before knowing Stephen Chow, Chen Guokun had done a lot of behind-the-scenes work, such as group performance, editing, soundtrack and even choreography. When he met Zhou Xing, he was already an old man in the entertainment circle, which was also the basis for him to seize the opportunity at once. It seems that he used to be rich, but in fact he was a cold window for ten years, so his outstanding performance in shaolin soccer was by no means inspiration. The axe dance in Kung Fu has many years of dance origins. Finally, he starred in legend of bruce lee and reached the peak of his life. Behind the glory, it is also the origin of my hard training in Jeet Kune Do, my body and Bruce Lee culture. Behind the success, we often can't see the efforts. Of course, only if I succeed will anyone pay attention to your efforts. Actually, think about it. Do Stephen Chow and Chen Guokun have many similar life trajectories? Maybe these are the main threads that bind us together.

Pay attention to Zhang Anbang, talk about different Bruce Lee, and welcome everyone to visit the original Jeet Kune Do Hall in Nanjing, and make more friends while making money!

Because Stephen Chow's idol was originally Bruce Lee, and Chen Guokun's idol was Bruce Lee, so they naturally hit it off!

I didn't know much about Bruce Lee before, but I only watched it on TV a few times. I happened to watch Chen Guokun's legend of bruce lee. I think Chen Guokun and Bruce Lee look alike, so I can't tell them apart. After watching TV series, I studied Bruce Lee crazily and watched his photos and videos before his death. As time goes on, I can distinguish Bruce Lee from Chen Guokun. Now, when I look at Chen Guokun, I don't think he looks like Bruce Lee at all.

When Chen Guokun was 1 1 years old, some people said that he was a bit like Bruce Lee. After hearing what these people said, Chen Guokun began to watch some Bruce Lee movies, then began to exercise and practice martial arts, and began to approach Bruce Lee from the outside and the inside.

Stephen Chow is a die-hard fan of Bruce Lee, and many movies in Stephen Chow pay tribute to Bruce Lee. Stephen Chow taught himself martial arts when he was a child, and he also learned Wing Chun. He likes making movies because of his idol Bruce Lee. Stephen Chow has a personal assistant named Tian Qiwen, who happens to know Chen Guokun. Knowing that Stephen Chow liked Bruce Lee very much, he arranged for Chen Guokun to work in a company in Stephen Chow. After Chen Guokun went to work in Xinghui Company, Stephen Chow soon found that Chen Guokun looked like Bruce Lee. While filming shaolin soccer, Stephen Chow arranged for Chen Guokun to audition for a play. Out of respect for Bruce Lee, Stephen Chow felt that his appearance could not be polished, and his muscles and figure were similar, while Chen Guokun practiced martial arts since childhood, building a lean body and imitating his movements perfectly. After watching the rehearsal, Stephen Chow decided to use Chen Guokun. In shaolin soccer, Chen Guokun played four senior brothers, wearing a classic yellow jumpsuit from Bruce Lee. After "shaolin soccer" was broadcast, the audience was surprised to find that the four senior brothers and Bruce Lee in it seemed.

In 2008, Chen Guokun starred in the TV series legend of bruce lee, with which Chen Guokun was recognized as the actor most like Bruce Lee.

It seems to have something to do with his father-in-law's house! Chen Guokun's first movie with scenes should be the absolute monarch among the young and dangerous people in 1996. Of course, when I saw this clip, I felt that Chen Guokun was very much like Bruce Lee. At this time, Chen Guokun should be less than 18 years old.

However, it is said that Chen Guokun also participated in "drunken master 2" starring Jackie Chan, Anita Mui and Andy Lau on 1994, but his role has not been found yet. In terms of time, Chen Guokun joined the film circle in his teens and has been engaged in related work for many years.

Because he looks a little similar to Bruce Lee, it is easy to attract people's attention, so it is not surprising that he was discovered by Stephen Chow.

However, some people speculate that Stephen Chow's strong support for Stephen Chow is probably related to Chen Guokun's father-in-law. Everyone knows that Chen Guokun's wife is the daughter of the new boss "Huang Jun", and it is rumored that Stephen Chow once worshipped under "Huang Jun". Perhaps it is because of such an ambiguous relationship that Stephen Chow is willing to give Chen Guokun a role, and he has performed in shaolin soccer and Kung Fu, and there are many scenes. This is to show that he is holding Chen Guokun.

Chen Guokun looks like Bruce Lee, a household name in Hongkong. As for starring in the TV series "legend of bruce lee", it is entirely because some people want to invest in such a film, and Chen Guokun is the best candidate.

It must be his unique external conditions. Stephen Chow's deep excavation and potential explosion propped up the role of Bruce Lee.

How was Chen Guokun discovered by Stephen Chow and starred in legend of bruce lee? Chen Guokun 1975 was born in August of 1 to an ordinary family in Shajing Town. In the early 1980s, when he first saw Bruce Lee's film Jingwumen, he fell madly in love with Bruce Lee. His father also found that this little guy likes Bruce Lee very much, so he gave him a book-Introduction to Taekwondo.

I have to say, Chen Guokun's father is definitely a good father, and it is this book that brought Chen Guokun into contact with Taekwondo. He repeatedly read this book and Bruce Lee's movies, imitating Bruce Lee's every move and smile. In the long run, in the eyes of others, Chen Guokun is more and more like Bruce Lee, not only in appearance, but also in temperament.

Therefore, people who knew Chen Guokun began to call him "Little Dragon". From 65438 to 0995, Chen Guokun made a guest appearance in the crime film Bad Boys Club directed by Zhao San, and began his acting career. I did film and television for several years, which was tepid until I met Stephen Chow. It is also the sentence "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared".

On this day, Chen Guokun met some friends in a coffee shop. Just as he was about to leave, Stephen Chow walked into the coffee shop and saw Chen Guokun who looked like Bruce Lee at a glance. Since then, he has been appreciated and cultivated by Stephen Chow. In shaolin soccer, written and directed by Stephen Chow 200 1, we were deeply impressed by his goalie "ghost". Meanwhile, Chen Guokun looks like Bruce Lee.

Later, he appeared in Kung Fu, One Mosquito and One Chicken Bodyguard, Kung Fu Champion and Kung Fu Invincible, all of which left a deep impression on the audience. During the casting of the TV series legend of bruce lee, Li Wenqi, the actor and director of Bruce Lee, naturally thought of Chen Guokun, and of course he had to mention Chen Guokun. Otherwise, it is really difficult to make such a classic TV series.

In 2008, "legend of bruce lee" was broadcast on CCTV and won the first place in average ratings, highest ratings, highest share and average share of CCTV in the past eight years, which was a great success. Chen Guokun has also become a veritable "Bruce Lee" II. Of course, we only saw the success of Chen Guokun. He looks like Bruce Lee, which is only a small condition for his success.
