Stephen Chi is one of the iconic figures in the Chinese film industry. "One movie champion in a year, Stephen Chow for a hundred years" is the best review of him by the audience. However, many people also have bad comments on him, saying that he has a bad temper, a weird personality, and does not understand the worldly ways.
Stephen Chow thinks something bad must be corrected. This has indeed made him offend many people. Moreover, many great directors are right and have no regard for the other party's identity and directly raise their own objections. Therefore, many actors and directors at that time did not want to cooperate with Stephen Chow. Despite this, no one will ignore the fact that the effect brought by Stephen Chow in this way is indeed very good.
For example, Wu Qihua , who plays "Fang Tangjing" in the movie "9th Grade Sesame Official ", was interviewed and lamented that he was suffering when filming this drama. The "Fang Tangjing" he plays is a clever lawyer , which means that he has a lot of lines and has to be read in one breath.
As a professional actor, Wu Qihua also memorized the lines in advance very seriously. However, in many cases, Stephen Chow would temporarily change the script when inspiration suddenly occurs, and he gave the modified script to Wu Qihua on the day of filming, which made Wu Qihua feel very collapsed, but he had to enter a state of emergency and memorize the lines. However, although Wu Qihua was dissatisfied with Stephen Chow's emergencies, the newly revised script also made Wu Qihua feel that it was really good.
even Zhang Min also complained about Stephen Chow. Zhang Min said that because Stephen Chow was very strict with the movie script when filming on the set, he often modified the movie script plot, so many actors needed to modify the lines. Many actors just memorized the lines, but found that Stephen Chow had modified the plot and the lines also had to be modified, which made many actors say they couldn't bear it.
Li Lizhi has worked with Stephen Chow in many classic movies, and the two were once called "golden combination" by movie fans. However, after becoming famous, Stephen Chow began to control the movies he starred in. If he were an ordinary director, he would even be underestimated by him. Stephen Chow has high requirements for movies and wants to take care of everything in detail. Originally, the biggest one in the crew was the director, and the director usually had the final say, but because he was the most popular and he brought the investment in movies, he had the capital to be arrogant.
so that the reason why the two of them did not cooperate again since " Shaolin Football " was that Stephen Chow changed the script randomly, and Stephen Chow's "problem" did make many directors stay away from him.
