The Golden Age of China Entertainment

And all these honors belong not only to Zhou Xingchi, but also to his good partner Wu Mengda.

,,,,,, as long as it is Zhou Xingchi's movie, there is Wu Mengda's shadow.

They have achieved each other, and the tacit understanding between them is unmatched.

In the movie, they are golden partners, but in reality, they are friends who talk about everything.Two people meet for dinner, talk about scripts all night, go to the park together to see how couples interact, two people ride in the same car, and eat the same can of canned food.In short, they were really good at that time, so good that people are enviable.

But everything changed after filming in 2001.Because since then, the two have never collaborated on the big screen again.

In 2004, when Zhou Xingchi was filming, he broke out with Wu Mengda's quarrel, and for a while, news about the two's quarrel spread widely.

Wu Mengda also talked about his relationship with Zhou Xingchi in an interview later, he said bluntly: "I also sometimes think about the reason, and now I feel like I want to die forever."

There is no contact between old age and death, just a few words, and I don't know how much helplessness and regret are mixed in it.In fact, there is no discord, it is just a trick of fate.

In fact, as early as 2011, Wu Mengda explained the news of the discord between the two in a talk show.It turned out that during the filming that year, it just happened to encounter the spread of the SARS epidemic, so the filming had to be postponed, but when it was filming, Wu Mengda already had other film appointments, so there was no way to shoot.

It is said that the role of Zhonglin Zicong was actually prepared for Wu Mengda.Although there are indeed some small frictions in this matter, it is not yet a discord.

Later, when Zhou Xingchi was preparing, he actually invited Wu Mengda, but because of his health, Wu Mengda refused.As time passed by, the interaction between the two naturally became less and less.

After all, it is regrettable that the two have become like this, but it is not surprising. They used to have nothing to say, but now they have nothing to say. Isn't this a true portrayal of many friends in reality.

They played all kinds of life, but after all, they still couldn't escape the shackles of this world, and those tacit understandings were destined to be sealed in the past.

Wu Mengda once said: We still have the possibility to cooperate, as long as I don't die and he hasn't retired, we still have the opportunity to cooperate.

If there is such a day, it will definitely be a sensation.

Yi Qing had expected in her previous life that this pair of golden partners could join forces again, even if they were no longer young, their faces were full of vicissitudes after going through all kinds of things, even if they could no longer make the audience laugh like they used to, but everything is still true. It's the best look.

It's a pity that until the day of Yi Qing's rebirth, there was no news that the two of them were going to join forces, which made people feel sad.

But now because Yi Qing has changed their fate, standing in front of him at the moment, the two of them who are still a little nervous are cooperating for the first time, and this first time co-starring in the hot Xiangjiang, it can really be said to be one night From being unknown to being well known.

Now Wu Mengda is only in his 30s, and Zhou Xingchi is only in his early twenties. His acting skills may still be immature, but the two met earlier and determined their acting style faster. The road ahead will definitely be broader.

"Xingzi, Brother Da, hello!"

A simple greeting almost scared Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda into a panic. When they received a call from Shi Nansheng, the other party had already told them that the person they were going to meet today was the big boss of Orange Sky Entertainment. They stamped their feet one by one. , the real boss who will shake the entire Xiangjiang entertainment industry.

Chapter 495 Don't forget the original intention

"Boss, hello, I'm Zhou Xingchi!"

He doesn't have the arrogance, arrogance, conceit that many people said in his previous life, and he doesn't even have the kind of ghosts in movies. Now Zhou Xingchi is only in his early twenties, and his face is still full of traces of youth. Excitement afterwards.

It is estimated that Zhou Xingchi is the only one who thinks that Zhou Xingchi can be popular in a poll conducted among the whole Xiangjiang people before. I am afraid that even his mother does not think that his stupid son can be a star.

When the name Zhou Xingchi became a symbol of Xiangjiang movies, those who misread it at the beginning would regret it deeply.

This includes Ms. Fang Yihua from TVB. When Shi Nansheng received Yi Qing's order to find Zhou Xingchi to play the leading role, she didn't even know who this person was.

She still asked a few friends to meet Zhou Xingchi. At that time, she only thought that this young man was ordinary, not to mention acting in a comedy, and he even felt a little dull. Such a person can be in a movie. Take the lead?

Not to mention Shi Nansheng was muttering in his heart, even Zhou Xingchi was very puzzled.

At that time, he had just been in a children's program on TVB, and he was arranged from an assistant to a main role, and occasionally played a role in some TVB dramas.

Among the hundreds of TVB actors, he can't even count as a small role.

Suddenly one day, Shi Nansheng, the head of Orange Sky Entertainment, approached him and said that he was asked to be the leading actor in a movie. You can imagine how surprised Zhou Xingchi was at that time.

Although he really wanted to agree, but he couldn't open his mouth when the words came to his lips. Of course he hoped to get this opportunity, but he felt a little inferior, thinking that he was not good at all, and this inferiority came from his family.

Zhou Xingchi's childhood was very miserable. It started with his mother. When his mother was young, his father was arrested by the police, and his mother had to marry into a slum because of her livelihood. After leaving Zhou Xingchi, the life of a family of five is very poor, and the food they eat is also very poor, and they have never eaten good food.

When he was three years old, his mother and father broke up, and he lived a very hard life with his mother, which also made him develop an inferiority complex since he was a child, and he couldn't see such great achievements in the future.

Even when going out to eat, he often uses the menu to cover his face, not daring to let others see his face.And his personality has been like this until he changed from Xingzi to what people call Xingye. When he was doing variety shows, he was particularly afraid of the camera, and he would feel very stiff when he turned it on.

The turning point in his life was when he was nine years old, when he watched Li Xiaolong's movie. From that moment on, Li Xiaolong became the object of his admiration, and he hoped to be a Kung Fu star like him when he grows up.

At that time, my mother thought that he was just joking, but she probably never expected that he would really become a star through his own efforts.

Since then, he has been practicing martial arts non-stop, and one of his favorite kung fu is the iron sand palm. After frying the soybeans, he puts his hands in it and inserts it repeatedly until the hands are very thick and not afraid of being scalded. At that time, my mother was very distressed, but Zhou Xingchi did not give up his dream and kept working hard.

Even for his own dream, he went to the school to find the principal, hoping that the principal could hold a martial arts class. At that time, everyone regarded him as a joke.

In this way, he slowly finished middle school, and did not continue to study. He worked in various jobs, worked as a waiter in a teahouse, and worked as a worker. Later, he met Liang Chaowei. They took part in the TVB training class exam together.

Later, many people said that actor Liang Chaowei accompanied Zhou Xingchi to take the exam, but he passed the exam, but Zhou Xingchi failed. The real situation is that Zhou Xingchi was encouraged by Liang Chaowei to take the exam. Although he also failed However, thanks to the recommendation of another friend Luo Meiwei, I went to TVB's evening training class.

After graduating from the advanced training class, he failed to meet his own Bole. At that time, his good friend Liang Chaowei had already started to play important roles in some dramas, even as the leading actor, but he was always playing tricks.

Later, because of the lack of people in the children's program, he was transferred again, but at that time, the program he hosted was very bad, and the newspapers kept criticizing him, but he was not discouraged in the face of such pressure. He cut out newspapers and pasted them on the wall to cheer himself up. When he was free, he would still play tricks. Slowly, he also had a certain foundation in acting.

When he was playing the role of a dead body, even if he played a role like a dead body, he has always worked very hard to perform the layered sense of the dead body. In the 1983 version, he played the role of Soldier B, and he also played a role that was filmed by Mei Chaofeng. Dead passers-by, at that time he and the director asked, before being shot dead by Mei Chaofeng, can he block it with his hand, and die after the second hit, the director thought he was wasting time, and then he kept thinking , and finally made a terrified expression. Later, when people watched this scene again, they had to say that Zhou Xingchi's terrified expression was very devoted.

Although the road to acting was bumpy and no one appreciated it, he persevered and devoted himself to acting in plays without lines, which paved the way for his future fame.

When he really became famous, many people felt incredible, even his mother felt strange, because he was such a shy person, he did not expect to be so crazy when performing.It may also be because of the pain he encountered when he was young that Zhou Xingchi was so powerful later. Zhou Xingchi at his peak can even support half of the Xiangjiang comedy movies by himself.

Wu Mengda's life experience is somewhat similar to Zhou Xingchi's, the only difference is that the hardships he experienced in life came after he became famous.

As early as 1973, Wu Mengda applied for TVB's artist training class. At that time, he studied with the famous Zhou Runfa.

But when it comes to the grades in the training class, Wu Mengda crushed Zhou Runfa all the way. After entering the training class, his grades have remained in the top five, and he even became the deputy monitor.

It is also because of his good grades that he can play some small roles as soon as he graduated. In 1978, Wu Mengda played the second male lead Ada in the movie. Now Zhang Guorong, who is now very popular, even played soy sauce in this movie for a few seconds.

What really made Wu Mengda popular was when he co-starred with Zheng Shaoqiu in the role of Li Hu Tiehua in 1979. It was also from that time that Wu Mengda officially became popular. He was only 26 years old that year.

It may be because of becoming famous too early and being young and energetic, Wu Mengda quickly lost his way.His life became rotten, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Although it was easy to earn money, he lost it all and owed a debt of 30 Hong Kong dollars.

Yi Qing remembered that Wu Mengda once said in an interview that because he owed too much money, he went to borrow money from his good friend Zhou Runfa. home.

Zhou Runfa was already very famous at that time, but he didn't want to see Wu Mengda degenerate, so he didn't lend him money. At that time, because of this incident, the two had a falling out, but Wu Mengda later understood Zhou Runfa's painstaking efforts. I sincerely apologize to my old friend.

At that time, Wu Mengda, who had nowhere to go, even thought about committing suicide, but after learning from the pain, he gradually cheered up and began to reflect on what he had done, corrected his past mistakes, and studied acting more deeply. The former is wrong, but it can only start from the heart.

Everyone knows the story behind. Although Wu Mengda, who has started again, can only play supporting roles in some dramas, but because of his solid acting skills, many directors rushed to cooperate with him.

Later, he met Zhou Xingchi, and the acting career of a golden partner began.

However, because of Yi Qing's appearance, the fates of both Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi have been changed. Zhou Xingchi no longer needs to waste time in TVB, and Wu Mengda also met the noble people in his life in advance.

A movie that appeared ahead of schedule made the unknown actor an instant hit, and made the old actors who had passed away become popular again.
