There is also a well-known anecdote circulating in the wireless TV station.

The Story of Hu Yue, starring 26-year-old Chow Yun Fat, became an instant hit, but after filming Shanghai Beach, his career suddenly fell into a trough. Then, Chow Yun Fat met John Woo, the director who was at a low point in his career. They co-produced The True Color of Heroes and created a new modern hero. This year, Chow Yun Fat was 30 years old. Since then, he has become a movie star in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and even the whole of Asia.

Love is vigorous and painful.

More than 20 years ago, when he first became popular, he bought four brand-name cars in one breath and talked about several vigorous love affairs.

Chen Yulian: A "little man" whose mother's life is inviolable.

Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty. A love-hate relationship between Chow Yun Fat and Chen Yulian has caused a great shock to the Hong Kong film industry. At that time, Chow Yun Fat met Chen Yulian shortly after he entered the wireless TV station. When we first met, we were attracted by Chen Qingli's refined temperament.

It's a pity that Chow Yun Fat's mother doesn't like Chen Yulian, which puts filial Chow Yun Fat in a dilemma. Chow Yun Fat never planned to get married because of her mother's opposition, which made Chen Yulian very disappointed. Finally, their five-year relationship came to an end. After Chen Yulian broke up, Chow Yun Fat was heartbroken, drank household detergent and almost died. Chen Yulian stayed in the hospital until he recovered, and then left without saying a word, never to be seen again.

Yu Anan: a "tyrant" with a bad temper

1983 In February, just a few months after breaking up with Chen Yulian, Chow Yun Fat suddenly announced her marriage to Yu Anan Lightning one night, but no one knew in advance that they were dating, and outsiders were extremely surprised.

The wedding of the two was prepared in a hurry, but it was grand. On the night of the wedding banquet, the groom wore a grand dress, which could not hide his melancholy. Hundreds of guests were silent, only flowers were mixed in silence ... but no one expected that this sudden marriage only lasted for 9 months. Yu Anan said afterwards that he kicked her out less than a year after the marriage, and when the feelings were gone, the marriage lost its value. Yu Anan regretted that Chow Yun Fat was extremely insecure after marriage, refused to let her dress up and wear new clothes, and had a bad temper, just like a "tyrant".

Chen Huilian: A good husband.

After breaking up with his first love Chen Yulian and his first wife Yu Anan, Chow Yun Fat had an affair with famous actresses such as Zheng Yuling and Cherie Chung, but each time it was fleeting. He said that after his first love, he felt that he would never find true love again.

But Yue Lao gave him another chance. By chance, he met another "Lianmei" Chen Huilian in Singapore. Chen Huilian is the daughter of a wealthy Singaporean businessman. When they first met, Chow Yun Fat fell in love with Chen Huilian. He looked ordinary, but gentle and virtuous. Without the temper of a rich girl, I won the favor of my brother and mother.

1On June 5th, 987, Chow Yun Fat and Chen Huilian got married in Singapore. At the wedding, Chen Huilian wept with joy. After getting married, Chen Huilian tried to be a good wife, while Chow Yun Fat reciprocated, became a good husband, loved his wife very much, and stuck by his wife when he learned that her pregnancy rate was low, becoming a model couple in the entertainment circle. "No regrets, we are both happy enough. I don't want anything else." It is also known that 199 1 was pregnant, but unfortunately the fetus was strangled by umbilical cord. After this incident, Brother Fage took more care of his wife. He described his feelings with his wife as "like a cup of boiled water with green lemon", which always kept a fresh feeling.

As for the friction in life, Chow Yun Fat bluntly said, "The quarrel is fierce and you media can't see it. We don't live a fairy tale life, but a normal life. Every time we quarrel, we have a period of understanding in our hearts, and then we can exchange feelings, so there is no problem. "

Finally, the recent situation of brother Fage.

Status: Still struggling.

Since signing with tvbi from 65438 to 0974, Chow Yun Fat has been working hard in the circle for more than 30 years. At present, it has become an international movie star, rarely exposed in the media, but the work is still in progress.

It is reported that in addition to promising director John Woo to take on the Chinese blockbuster Red Cliff, Chow Yun Fat recently contacted two new Hollywood films. One of them is a police suspense movie called DeadlyDeception, and the other is TheWretched, an action horror movie based on a zombie hunter in the west.

In early May, Chow Yun Fat with a beard appeared in Hongkong. He said it was the shape of the movie The Vampire Diaries. Because the filming is just around the corner, he is busy learning to read English dialogues with his teachers recently, and he has to practice riding hard because of the needs of the characters in the new film.

When it comes to learning, Chow Yun Fat said frankly when attending a graduation ceremony of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University a few days ago: "I dropped out of school when I was in the third grade (graduated from junior high school). Although I tried to participate in various studies afterwards, I still felt powerless. " He said that he still had two English classes a week to learn grammar and words, and warned students to continue their studies. In the face of outside doubts about his age and ability, Chow Yun Fat was quite calm. "I went to Hollywood for ten years and made five movies. I dare not say whether it is successful or not, and I dare not say that there is no pressure, but I know that William Hung said,' I have tried my best and will never regret it.' "

Pursuit: There is still potential.

Today, Chow Yun Fat may not win prizes or get paid, but that doesn't mean he has no goals. He set his sights on America.

Chow Yun Fat once made it clear, "I feel that there is potential that has not been tapped." So, he decided to go to America. But because people don't care how popular you are in the East, the mentality is to start over. Although he admits, "it is really rare for foreigners to find a yellow person to play the leading role." But in the face of such a small movie space, he still said that he would stick to it, "in order to learn and understand their rules, and then try to change them." And he said, "As long as my manager pays me back, I will stick to it."

Although he kept saying that he wanted to "take root" there, Chow Yun Fat didn't buy a house in the United States or apply for a green card in the United States, because: "Life there doesn't taste like China people at all ... so he went to work in the United States and left immediately after work. I have been to so many places and finally feel: It's cool to come from China! "
