Why is Chow Yun Fat called "Fat Brother"? What is the origin of this title?

The entertainment circle in Hong Kong respects tradition very much. Calling a son, a brother, and a grandfather has a set of established rules. Otawa's road, personality, reputation, and status have something to do with his age, but they are not absolute.

The gossip program in Hong Kong entertainment circle once summed up that a star, from his debut to his old age, called his son his brother, to his brother, and finally called his uncle or uncle, such as Dashu; There are few people named Ye in Hong Kong entertainment circle, and some people more or less insinuate that this person likes to play big cards. However, there are some exceptions, such as Xie Xian, who is still the fourth child in his seventies.

Generally speaking, when an actor is young and just popular, his elders tell him to be friendly and enhance the audience affinity of the actor. Then when your box office or popularity reaches a certain level, your brothers, sisters and brothers will address you respectfully.

Chow Yun Fat was also called "Fazi" by his predecessors in his early years.

Although the debut is early, it is really popular, but the real red is the gangster hero films such as Shanghai beach, wandering around the world, hot-blooded men and heroes.

1986, Chow Yun Fat played his elder brother Mark in the film "True colors of heroes" directed by John Woo, which broke the box office record of Hong Kong films and started the film trend of gangster hero films, and Mark became the idol of fans. Chow Yun Fat also won the first Oscar for Best Actor.

If we can describe the film Across the Ocean in one sentence, it is that the best John Woo, the best Chow Yun Fat, the best Leslie Cheung and the best Cherie Chung have come together.

1989, Chow Yun Fat and John Woo made the film Two Hot-blooded Men together. The film is not only one of Wu's masterpieces of violence aesthetics, but also shows the image of a screen shooter to European and American audiences.

The shaping of these classic characters has made Chow Yun Fat's position in the Hong Kong film industry secure at the box office. This also makes the image of Chow Yun Fat's eldest brother deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Chow Yun Fat is destined to play the role of big brother, and the movie box office has hit record highs, so he has a position in the industry. People no longer call him Fazi, but respectfully call him Fage until today.
