Introduction: With equal status, why Stephen Chow is called the star, Chow Yun-fat is called the brother, and Andy Lau is just a Chinese boy?
If you mention the famous celebrities in Hong Kong and even the whole of China. Then Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau will definitely be on the list. The three of them not only represent the development of an era, they can even be said to have brought us decades of classic legends.
Whenever we hear people calling them in the entertainment industry, they usually call them like Xingye, Fage, and Huazi. So the question is, why is there such a big difference between the names of three people of the same status?
First of all, let's take a look at how the generations of the entertainment industry are ranked. In fact, this is already considered by everyone in the industry by default. After all, actors in the entertainment industry will be constantly updated over time, so for generations, they are not ranked according to their actual age.
Let’s talk about Andy Lau first! The reason why he has been called "Hua Tsai" for so many years is because he was too immature when he was young. And Hong Kong generally refers to male stars with less experience and little experience in the circle as "boys", and Andy Lau's name has been passed down from that time. In addition, when he was young, Huazi basically followed the idol route, so this title has continued.
and then Chow Yun Fat. Among the generations in the entertainment industry, those who are called "brothers" generally have a higher status than those of stars called "zi". Moreover, Chow Yun-fat’s achievements in the film industry at that time are generally higher than Andy Lau. Quite a few, it's not surprising to be called "Fage".
Finally, I will talk about Stephen Chow.Like Andy Lau, the fledgling Stephen Chow was also called "Xing Zi" for a long time. However, due to the high achievements of Zhou Xingchi in the film industry, he came from behind and the name "Xing Ye" directly replaced. "Star Boy". Another reason is that in the past, Wu Junru used to call "Master Xingchi" a few times in "Sacred Gamblers" in order to ask for help from Stephen Chow, so everyone just screamed like that.
Some people may think that As the head of the four kings of , Andy Lau and Chow Yun Chi-fat, who has always been very successful in the film industry, have not achieved much? This name seems unreasonable.
But if you think about it carefully, whether it is Chow Yun-fat or Andy Lau, although they have broken countless legends in the film industry, they can only be called a remarkable actor after all, and there is nothing special about it; And Zhou Xingchi is different. They have their own unique side, and they have also developed "the nonsense comedy with Zhou-style characteristics". It can be said that every dialogue in Stephen Chow's movie is very burdensome and very natural. If you see his movie, you can feel that it is Zhou Xingchi's work even if there is no cast, and this is his uniqueness.
May I ask such an achievement, whether it is Andy Lau, Tow Wai Leung or Chow Yun Fat, can anyone achieve such a height?
It can be seen that everyone's name for Zhou Xingchi's "Xing Ye", although it is a short word, is enough to prove his contribution and influence to the film industry. Although Stephen Chow is no longer filming now, the countless classics he has brought to us have long been enough to make me like him for a lifetime. Do you like Zhou Xingchi as much as I do?
