Did Stephen Chow cooperate with Tony Leung Chiu Wai? Why did the two become so distant?

(Written by the original pro) Although they are both famous, it is difficult to tell them apart if they appear in a movie. Although Stephen Chow's films mainly highlight him, it is not without exception. For example, in The Gambler, it can be said that Andy Lau is very heavy and should be the protagonist, but Stephen Chow and Ng Man Tat's performances are more comfortable and relaxed. The reason is that Andy Lau, after all, has a different style from Stephen Chow, and can play a more upright and handsome role as a big brother, and then Stephen Chow will play a self-righteous brother, which is funny and cute, just like "Expert in Unique Skills", so it can be said that each has its own space to play.

But Tony Leung Chiu Wai is different. First of all, like Andy Lau, he won't be brought into the nonsense film space that Stephen Chow is good at, and he will play the role of an honest man. Although he is usually as silent as Xing Zi, this kind of person can pour out all their emotions on the screen. Just like Duke Lushan, who cooperated with Andy Lau in those years, initially identified Andy Lau as Wei Xiaobao, but Tony Leung Chiu Wai's image was more quaint. In contrast, Andy Lau is less malleable and more suitable for cool characters with love, such as his Yang Guo.

This is often the case in reality. The more similar people are, the more difficult it is to get along with, especially in the entertainment circle. The most taboo is who is said to be similar. Since entering the TVB training class, Xing Zi's star journey is much more bumpy than Wei Zi's. In many TV dramas, Wei Zi can only be given a walk-on role, because when Stephen Chow met Tony Leung Chiu Wai, he had little room to play, which was a similar situation that could be covered. Therefore, Xing Zi had to find another way to set off himself with a group of wonderful flowers. Of course, this is not to say that he is not good enough, but under what circumstances can he better show his style and charm.

Similarly, Jet Li and Jackie Chan also considered cooperation when they were young. In fact, they know all about it. Who wants to steal the show? Especially in their prime, they all want to compare with each other. Even if they cooperate, they will give them villains like Donnie Yen and Zou Zhaolong. Of course, there are also differences in martial arts styles here. Think about when they took the TVB exam together and made TV series together. These two cancer men, Stephen Chow and Tony Leung Chiu Wai, were born in 1962, with a difference of five days, which can be described as peerless pride in Hong Kong.

It is almost hopeless to expect them to cooperate. Those are our childhood wishes, as long as we can do what we like, shoot our favorite movies and play our favorite roles. I just finished watching A Generation of Masters this year, followed by Demonizing Journey to the West.
