"The Saint of Gambling" in 1992 was Zhou Xingchi's work of the gods, and the origin of the name of the star is also here.

In 1988, Zhou Xingchi, known as the star boy, decided to develop into the film industry. However, until 1989's "Dragon at the End of the World" and Jet Li's collaboration, Xing Zi was still playing a supporting role. Until 1990, Liu Zhenda dare to use Zhou Xingchi to film "The Holy Gambling" . Stephen Chow's talents were revealed. The Hong Kong box office broke 41.32 million, breaking the box office record of Hong Kong film history. Stephen Chow was officially crowned as a star. That year, Zhou Xingchi was 28 years old, so today we will talk about the behind-the-scenes story of this work of Zhou Xingchi.

According to the current words, "The Gambler" can be regarded as a copycat film. In 1989, Wang Jing filmed a " God of Gamblers ", which brought Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau starring. This film opened the era of Hong Kong gambling films and sold 36.29 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. At that time, it was the heyday of Hong Kong movies, one subject was on fire, and others swarmed. Liu Zhenwei simply followed the law and filmed "The Gambler" according to "The God of Gamblers".

To say that Liu Zhenwei is really a ghost, Liu Zhenwei only took 5 hours to write the outline of the script of "The Holy Gambling". Liu Zhenwei also thought of the special features in "Sacred Gambling" after reading the news about special features in the mainland.

The fun thing is that Wang Jing saw that "The Gambler" became more popular. In the same year, he dug up Stephen Chow with a lot of money, and then pulled on Andy Lau, followed the "Gambler" to shoot a " Gambler ", which is also a help The foe of Liu Zhenwei's cottage.

"Gambler" sold 40.34 million, which was the runner-up at the box office that year. Without Stephen Chow's "The Saint of Gambling" Part II and Part III, there is naturally no splash. And " God of Gamblers " and "Gamblers" continue to lead Hong Kong gambling films. Because the plot backgrounds are borrowed from each other, a gambling universe is formed instead.

The favorite actor in the film "The Holy Gambling" was Tony Leung. After seeing Stephen Chow's performance, Liu Zhiwei felt that he was very suitable to play Zuo Gong Xing Xing and insisted that Stephen Chow be the actor. Facing Zhou Xingchi's departure, Liu Zhenwei must be dissatisfied. It was not until 1995 that Zhou Xingchi encountered a bottleneck and collaborated again with Liu Zhenwei on the masterpiece "Journey to the West".

Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda really reached a tacit understanding for the first time, also in "The Holy Gambling". Although the two have collaborated in "The Last Big Brother of the Rivers and Lakes", in this mediocre action film, Stephen Chow's presence is very weak, and the two did not spark any sparks. From the beginning of "The Gambler" to the present, Wu Mengda has been recognized as the most suitable partner for Stephen Chow's nonsensical style.

After "Gambling Saint" won the Hong Kong box office champion, at a party Sammo Hung called Zhou Xingchi as the star. This is also the origin of the star, but in fact, the first named star is Wu Junru. Zuo Songxing, played by Stephen Chow in "Sacred Gambling", played a special role in the racetrack, helping Liu Gu turn the ticket of horse 6 into horse 7 and won 5000 yuan. After returning home, Wu Junru called the Star Master and called the Star Master three times. Of course, Zhou Xingchi's own strength is worthy of a star. After

in 1992, Stephen Chow swept the top five Hong Kong movies at the box office that year. Among them, "Judgment Officer" once again broke the Hong Kong box office record, and this year was also known as the Year of Stephen Chow.
