Speaking of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, many people must still remember the 1980s and 1990s of the last century. At that time, every award show in Hong Kong's entertainment industry could be said to be a battle of the gods. Many artists who combine beauty and talent gather together to compete for the well-deserved glory. At that time, the four kings were still young, many goddesses were at the peak of their beauty, and many excellent film and television works and records were basically born in this era. It can be said that the Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time had a certain degree of popularity throughout Asia.
But to say who was the eldest brother in the Hong Kong entertainment industry at that time, it might not be the current eldest brother Jackie Chan , nor the four popular kings, but Xiang Huaqiang . As the boss of an entertainment company, Xiang Huaqiang plays a decisive role in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. Andy Lau , Anita Mui and others are all artists under Xiang Huaqiang's company. As the boss of an entertainment company, Xiang Huaqiang naturally also played some guest roles. The most famous one may be the Dragon Five in "God of Gamblers" played by Chow Yun-fat!
Such a very influential figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but some people did not buy his account. When Xiang Huaqiang celebrated his 70th birthday, he invited many friends inside and outside the industry to celebrate. The day was like a large-scale awards ceremony. You can imagine And I know Xiang Huaqiang’s status and influence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. However, Stephen Chow was absent from the feast that day. At Andy Lau's concert, some attentive fans spotted Stephen Chow and said that he came uninvited!
Stephen Chow can be said to have played his true character in the movie " King of Comedy ". Although a lot of Stephen Chow's typical nonsensical style has been added, the tragedy of this little character can still be seen. Like the characters he played, Stephen Chow also appeared in many film and television dramas when he first entered the entertainment industry, but he was always a "walk-on". Until Xiang Huaqiang discovered that Stephen Chow was actually very suitable for starring in comedies, so he invited Stephen Chow to join his company.
It can be said that Xiang Huaqiang is regarded as one of Stephen Chow's "boile". After signing the contract with Xiang Huaqiang Company, Stephen Chow's popularity began to soar. He starred in many classic comedy movies. Xiang Huaqiang Company also made a lot of money from Stephen Chow. few. Such a mutually beneficial relationship should be a win-win and long-term cooperation. However, after becoming famous, Stephen Chow had many ideas of his own when it came to making movies. These also led to many conflicts between him and Xiang Huaqiang, and the two parties eventually broke up!
After Stephen Chow's solo career, many media outlets accused Stephen Chow of being ungrateful. The identical reports made it difficult not to suspect that Xiang Huaqiang was behind the scenes. Moreover, Xiangtai Chen Lan also publicly criticized Stephen Chow and expressed the hope of getting an apology and reply from Stephen Chow. However, Stephen Chow never gave any reply or defended any of his actions. He just put all his expressions in his movies.
It is reported that Stephen Chow was also included in the invitation list for Xiang Huaqiang's 70th birthday. This is also a signal that the two parties can reconcile. Stephen Chow turned a blind eye to this and never showed up at Xiang Huaqiang's birthday dinner. Stephen Chow has collaborated with many artists in Hong Kong, but with his eccentric personality, he has few friends in the industry, with the exception of Andy Lau. Not only have the two collaborated on many films, but their personal relationship is also quite close.
It is reported that Stephen Chow will go to all Andy Lau's concerts to support his old friend, and when there is a conflict between Xiang Huaqiang and Stephen Chow, Andy Lau will decisively stand by his old friend. Therefore, Stephen Chow always comes "uninvited" to Andy Lau's concerts. In fact, in the entertainment industry, many artists are in fierce competition with each other. Even if they have more friends, they will break up due to interests. But good friends like Andy Lau and Stephen Chow are relatively rare.I hope these two top actors can work together again in the future to present a perfect movie to the audience.
