When attending the wireless artist training class, Stephen Chow took Tony Leung Chiu Wai to take the exam together. As a result, Tony Leung Chiu Wai was admitted, but he didn't. Later, he finally passed the training class through hard work, but after graduation he was assigned to a children's program host. Stephen Chow didn't complain, but worked harder to hone his acting skills. He cut out the ridicule of others in the newspaper and posted it in his room to spur himself. It was because of his unremitting efforts that he was discovered by the director and became famous in one fell swoop.
Step 2 stick to it
It takes perseverance to do anything. Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets is not a big deal. Stephen Chow is also a persistent person. After graduating from the wireless artist training class, Stephen Chow was assigned to be the host of a children's program. This is not his favorite job, and he has no ambition, but he did it for four years. During this period, he often went to the film studio and played some unnecessary walk-on roles. There are many characters who don't even have lines. Even so, Stephen Chow insisted that he had been a walk-on for eight years. It was not until director Li Xiuxian discovered him that he was able to play an important role and gradually became famous.
3. sui generis.
When Stephen Chow first started acting in a film, he also made it in the style required by the director. However, because Stephen Chow's appearance is not very recognizable, he stayed in the film for a long time, and it is impossible for him to become an instant hit like his good friend Tony Leung Chiu Wai. This made Stephen Chow realize that if he didn't change, form his own style and make himself recognizable, he might be an unknown actor all his life.
So he thought of a more nonsense deductive style. His first attempt turned out to be very popular. Since then, Stephen Chow's films are famous for their nonsense style, which not only makes the audience laugh, but also establishes his position as the originator of nonsense.
As the saying goes, one minute on stage, ten years off stage. Everyone's success is a lot of sweat and hard work. What we can't see is the silent efforts of others.
