Chow’s Performing career

ZhouXingChi was a very common boy and lived in a single parent family. He was fascinated by Bruce Lee( 李小龙 ) in his childhood.

After having seen Bruce Lee’s movies ,chow decided to study martial arts （武术） . In 1982, after graduating from high school, Chow auditioned （参加面试） for Hong Kong’s TVB acting school, but didn’t make the cut( 录取 ). The next year, he was chosen to be master of ceremonies of the children’s program “430”(430 穿梭机 ).

He was not fond of children, but his performance went over well and he stayed on the show for five years.

For several years after that, he worked on a variety of programs, and moved into drama, becoming even more popular.

In 1988, Chow played one of the leads in the movie Pili Xianfeng, winning Best Supporting Actor at the Taiwan Academy Awards（台湾金马奖） . It was his first film.

He had his first starring role in 1990 in the movie-- DuSheng and started excelling in the comedy genre(类型 ).

Performance Style and Representative Movies His performance style experience three periods:

1.Exploration period (1988--1990)

In this period, he began to play a main role in movies, but he was

not popular and well known. There are few representative movies in

this period.

2.“WuLiTou” period(1990--1994)

“WuLiTou” was also called “make no sense”. It means that a person speak and do things is difficult to understand, but it isn’t unreasonable. As we all know, he was the founder of the style “WuLiTou”. There are many movies which are very popular in this time.

DaHuaXiYou

The master is so noisy that WuKong wants to kill him.

The classical lines: 1. “ 曾经有一份真诚的爱情摆在我的面前 , 但是我没有去珍惜 , 等到失去了

的时候才后悔莫及 , 尘世间最痛苦的事莫过如此 . 如果上天可以给我一个机会再来一次的话 , 我会跟那个女孩子说”我爱你” . 如果非要把这份爱加上一个期限 , 我希望是一万年 ! ”

There had ever been a sincere love in my face, but I didn't take it seriously. I feel bitter regretful until it has been out of my grip. It is the most seriously agony( 痛苦 ) in the earth. If the God give me a chance again, I will tell the girl ---"I love you." If having to set up a deadline before the passion, I hope it works permanent!

2.“ 我的意中人是个盖世英雄，有一天他会踩着七色的云彩来娶我，我猜中了前头，可是我猜不着这结局……”

XiJuZhiWangThis movie is about dream and love.

At the beginning of the film, the actor shouts “try hard, struggle” toward the sea. The actor is a amateur(业余的 ) actor at first ,so he isn’t respected by others. But he is a self-respecting, persistent and kind man. He insists on his dream and believes that he will be a professional actor one day.

The actress is a young and beautiful girl, but she is a dancing girl. who is looked down upon. But she still longs for love and respect.

If you want to be famous, you must insist on your dream and pay a lot!

My Impression of ZhouXingChi The first movie of him I have ever seen was TangBoHu

DianQiuXiang. To my surprise, he is a serious and introverted man in

daily life and work. His success is due to many essential factors:

Dream

Persistance

Daring to try
