The heroine of "The Deer and the Cauldron 2" is changed, Stephen Chow is nearly assassinated, and Jackie Chan is forced to flee to the United States

To say that 1992 was the year of Stephen Chow would not be an exaggeration at all. Because in this year, Stephen Chow participated in 7 movies, and all 7 movies entered the top 15 at the box office of Hong Kong movies. The top 5 places were all taken by Stephen Chow alone. The "double Monday success" in the history of Hong Kong film, the situation of three-thirds of the world was officially formed, and Stephen Chow was upgraded from "Star Boy" to Star Master.

"The Deer and the Cauldron" was released in 1992, ranking third and fifth in the box office list that year, with a total box office of 76 million Hong Kong dollars. Star Master presents the most hilarious Wei Xiaobao in the movie, and the movie is filled with beauties, including Brigitte Lin, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Michelle Reis, Chen Derong and other top beauties. It can be called the most luxurious beauties lineup in history.

When "The Deer and the Cauldron" was being prepared, the male lead was originally chosen to be Tony Leung. Later, Wang Jing considered that Tony Leung's temperament was too decent and might not be able to express Wei Xiaobao's ruffianism, so he chose Stephen Chow as the male lead. When Mr. Jin Yong, the author of "The Deer and the Cauldron", learned that Stephen Chow would be the leading actor, he specially wrote 6 big characters as a gift to Stephen Chow: "I won't be the second choice." This shows how satisfied Jin Yong is with Stephen Chow's Wei Xiaobao!

Since Stephen Chow was already very popular in Taiwan and Southeast Asia at that time, before the filming of "The Deer and the Cauldron" started, the bosses of Yongsheng invested a lot of money in Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng. In addition to finding a lot of beauties, director Wang Jing also hired an action director. Cheng Xiaodong, Xi Zhongwen for art, Chen Gufang for costumes, and Chung Zhiwen for photography are all top-notch. Wang Jing also admitted that this is the strongest lineup he has ever had since he started acting.

After the completion of "The Deer and the Cauldron Part 1", Wang Jing considered that Brigitte Lin, who had just finished filming "The Swordsman", was extremely popular, so he replaced Zhang Min who played the role of the fake queen mother in the second part. Brigitte Lin.

At that time, it was reported that Stephen Chow was almost assassinated, and that Wong Jing had been secretly protecting him was actually not groundless!

Before the return of Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, it could be said that Hong Kong movies were booming, but it was also a time when certain forces were rampant. As everyone knows, Jet Li's two managers were killed one after another, Andy Lau was pointed at gunpoint while filming, Carina Lau was kidnapped, singer Wang Jie was drugged in the throat, Jackie Chan was forced to flee to the United States, etc.

At that time, there were gangs in the Hong Kong entertainment industry who entered the film industry. It was very common for actors to be forced to film, arrears of wages, and actors not receiving final payments. Jackie Chan was deeply dissatisfied with this, so once he went to shoot a magazine cover and sat in the director's chair. Jackie Chan asked the gang to come to him to argue. This made the other party angry. The gang claimed that they wanted to kill Jackie Chan. In the end, Jackie Chan was forced to flee to the United States for refuge.

So for Stephen Chow, the hot new star at the time, he was a sweet potato and a money-making tree in the eyes of some gangsters. If you don't cooperate with them in filming, you may receive death threats at any time. Moreover, at that time, some gangsters had already threatened to assassinate Stephen Chow, so Wong Jing, who was the director at the time, was also in panic all day long. I once said in an interview that I was always in high tension while filming "The Deer and the Cauldron". More than once, I fantasized and worried about what I would do if one day I started working and suddenly found that the leading actor was no longer there. In order to prevent Mr. Xing from being assassinated, he even turned into a detective on the set. When he found suspicious people, he would come forward to inquire and screen them. He was really worried about protecting Mr. Xing.

Fortunately, after Hong Kong returned to China in 1997 and the Chinese government took over, the evil forces gradually withdrew from the historical stage of Hong Kong. On the surface, they no longer dared to be as rampant as in the past. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it has been entangled for so many years. It will not be eradicated overnight, so much so that Jackie Chan also revealed in a certain program that he would write out those unknown stories and hand them over to a lawyer for safekeeping. Wait until he publishes it a hundred years later. Even Jackie Chan is so cautious, one can imagine how powerful the other party is.
