In the classic movies of Stephen Chow , "Domestic Lingling Paint" is definitely among the top. It also sold 37 million yuan in Hong Kong, and this was in 1994.
, I have to admire Stephen Chow's ability and box office appeal back then.
In "Domestic Lingling Paint", there are many supporting roles, but the most memorable one should be Da Vinci played by Luo Jiaying . So far, it has been difficult to surpass and deeply rooted in people's hearts.
But what is little known is that Luo Jiaying plays Da Vinci, which is the first collaboration between Luo Jiaying and Stephen Chow, and it is also that was fooled by Stephen Chow.
The role of Da Vinci was originally expected by Stephen Chow to be his super golden supporting role Ng Mengda , but Ng Mengda was filming "Laughing Boy 2: New Oolong Courtyard" at the time.
Because the other party's contract has long been signed, and in order to ensure quality, Ng Mengda is not allowed to film two dramas at the same time, which has led to Stephen Chow having to give up Ng Mengda to play Da Vinci.
could not invite Ng Man-tat. The role of Da Vinci made Stephen Chow suffer a problem. Stephen Chow searched all the actors he could think of in his mind, and found that among the people he knew, no one except Ng Man-tat could perform the effect of Da Vinci.
This made Stephen Chow sad.
Stephen Chow wants to settle for the second best, and he doesn't pursue the perfection of this drama like this. After all, this drama has investors, and it is obviously not possible to delay it for too long.
However, there is no way out. Stephen Chow went to the theater to watch the play and relax. As a result, he saw Cantonese opera artist Luo Jiaying on the stage.
Stephen Chow thought: If such a serious Cantonese opera master is filming his own drama, the reversal effect will not be too good.
So after the drama ended, Luo Jiaying took the initiative to invite him, but he was rejected by Luo Jiaying.
Because Stephen Chow was already very famous at that time, Luo Jiaying also recognized this comedy king who was full of popularity, but Luo Jiaying felt that Stephen Chow was unreliable from the bottom of his heart.
The reason is very simple: Cantonese opera emphasizes seriousness, Stephen Chow's nonsense is too spoof, and it is completely different from his own path.
Because of this reason, Luo Jiaying refused without thinking.
Stephen Chow did not give up. After multiple rounds of connections, Stephen Chow finally knew the reason why Luo Jiaying refused him. It turned out that he felt that he was too nonsense and that he was unreliable.
But if Stephen Chow gives up the nonsense, it is impossible. Then if you want La Luo Jiaying to go into the water, you need "skills". So Stephen Chow found Luo Jiaying again and told him: You play a scientist in the play, and the pay is quite good.
Scientist? Luo Jiaying was moved because in Luo Jiaying's subconscious, scientists were the kind of serious people wearing suits and ties.
plus the high pay also made him moved because he happened to buy a house and paid the down payment. He had a poor ability to make money in Cantonese opera and had a strong ability to make money in movies .
Luo Jiaying weighed the pros and cons and thought he could give it a try!
After arriving on the set, Luo Jiaying was confused when he saw the director's outfit for him. The scientist was wearing slippers and a white T-shirt?
When I saw the plot, what a guy, Luo Jiaying understood. Stephen Chow fooled himself. Stephen Chow only said that he played a scientist and had a high salary, but he did not say what the image of a scientist looked like.
But unfortunately the contract has been signed. As a traditional dramatist, following the rules is the first rule, and he can only finish the play.
, and Stephen Chow also knew that Luo Jiaying had his own skills, so he let him use his lines freely, which gave Luo Jiaying the opportunity to "take revenge".
Luo Jiaying designed the "urination" appearance method himself and wanted to take revenge on Stephen Chow, but after watching it, Stephen Chow felt that this appearance method was very suitable for Da Vinci's role, so he retained it.
Luo Jiaying failed to do something for the first time, so when she was acting against Stephen Chow, she started to act again. When she was reciting lines, she deliberately used Cantonese opera singing to recite lines. This was unexpected by Stephen Chow, but after hearing the Cantonese singing lines, Stephen Chow quickly changed and also used Cantonese opera singing to follow suit.
is the same as the appearance method of urinating. In Stephen Chow's view, Luo Jiaying's "making trouble" is simply the finishing touch and has been preserved.
Finally, the super high box office after the release of "Domestic Lingling Paint" and the super high popularity of Da Vinci made Stephen Chow feel that his choice was not wrong.
It has to be said that many of the classics of that era came from opportunities and coincidences, but behind these coincidences was the intention of the director and actors, which made these classics pass on forever.
