John Woo and Chow Yun Fat, two people who have achieved each other, have any grievances or enmities?

Some time ago, The True Color of Heroes was released again, which set off a nostalgic fever. Classic works by John Woo, Tommy Tam and Chow Yun Fat. John Woo and Tommy Tam are both disciples of Zhang Che and old friends for many years. What's the river's lake feud between Chow Yun Fat and John Woo, two people who have achieved each other?

1, honeymoon period

Or from 1986 "The True Color of Heroes", before John Woo was looked down upon, saying that he was dying and could retire. Chow Yun Fat is called box office poison in the movie circle. Fortunately, Tsui Hark found an old friend to direct The True Color of Heroes. After that, "The True Color of Heroes" successfully blew up a whirlwind of gangster movies, occupying the list of major movies all the year round.

At first, Chow Yun Fat, the role of Mark, was not the first choice, but Zheng Haonan, namely Situ Haonan in the gangster enter the dragon. At that time, he was a newcomer trained by New Art City. It's just that he didn't have a schedule at that time, so he fell on Chow Yun Fat. At the same time, the role of mark was only the third protagonist, and later Fage performed well. In addition, Leslie Cheung's time was limited, and John Woo continued to add drama to the Gospel of Kyle, making the Gospel of Kyle a classic.

In Hero 2, John Woo and Tsui Hark started to think differently. One said slowly, and the other said to get on the horse at once. As we all know, Hero 3 was directed by Tsui Hark, which is obviously different from the first two stories.

Since then, Tsui Hark began to freeze John Woo and support another director, Cheng Xiaodong. During that time, John Woo, down and out, even needed Chow Yun Fat's help. Chow Yun Fat talked to Tsui Hark about this, but it ended in nothing. Later, Chow Yun Fat invested in John Woo behind Tsui Hark's back and filmed "Hot Men", and they cooperated again to create a classic. But this completely angered Tsui Hark, saying that he would not cooperate in the future, and that Chow Yun Fat had left Tsui Hark and his acting career was about to decline. Later, Chow Yun Fat's acting career became more and more smooth, and he was called biweekly with Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow.

After filming Hot Men, John Woo left Tsui Hark to set up his own film company and filmed Street of Blood based on his childhood experience. Although the box office is not satisfactory, it is the most unusual work of John Woo. Under the specific historical background, friendship has stood the test.

After that, John Woo and Chow Yun Fat collaborated on Everywhere and Detective Tough Guy, which achieved great success at the box office and word of mouth. At this time, one is a well-known director and the other is a superstar.

2. Their respective development periods

From 65438 to 0993, John Woo went to Hollywood for development after filming Hard-boiled Detective. He is one of the few directors who have gained a firm foothold in Hollywood. He has made classic films such as Broken Arrow, Face /OFF, Mission Impossible 2, and incorporated his romantic feelings and violent aesthetics into western films, which is very popular.

On the contrary, Chow Yun Fat's road to Hollywood is not smooth. His films include Blood Is Still Cold, On the Edge of Fighting Again, Anna and the King, Bulletproof Monk and so on. It is slightly inferior to Jackie Chan and Jet Li who entered Hollywood.

3. Interrupt time

In 2007, John Woo returned to China to prepare the epic Three Kingdoms War movie Red Cliff, and asked Chow Yun Fat to play Zhou Yu. They cooperated again after "Detective Tough Guy" 15. At that time, both of them said they were happy to cooperate again, and then they handed everything over to their agents. Unfortunately, Fage resigned on the first day of the boot, and the two sides didn't talk it over.

Wu Yusen expressed great regret about this. He said that when he heard that Chow Yun Fat resigned, he was still very disappointed and even sad. He thinks Chow Yun Fat is an excellent actor, but there is a big gap in his heart because a contract issue has not been discussed well. However, he also said that it is understandable. After all, this kind of thing often happens in Hollywood. Chow Yun Fat and I are still good friends, and we can cooperate in the future. I also used the three kingdoms to tease.

As for Chow Yun Fat, he also apologized for this many times, hoping that this would not affect his friendship with John Woo. Fage's agent is his wife Chen Huilian, who is used to Hollywood. It is said that there are many harsh conditions when talking about conditions, which is unacceptable to the film industry. I believe this is also the main reason why they don't cooperate!

Director John Woo is still worried about the protagonist's resignation, because the scenery and costumes have to be redesigned, and the most important thing is to find someone else. Fortunately, Tony Leung Chiu Wai helped John Woo solve the problem in time. After all, they have worked together on "Bloody Street" and "Detective with Difficulties" before. Objectively speaking, Tony Leung Chiu Wai is more suitable for the role of Zhou Yu than Chow Yun Fat.

Jing Wong once commented on the breakup between John Woo and Chow Yun Fat. He said that everyone will make some demands when accepting a job. Besides, Chow Yun Fat has been to Hollywood. He is no longer young and needs enough time to rest. He also said that there is no kindness in the film circle, and you will definitely not use him if others are not good. If John Woo was really nice to him at that time, he should be allowed to play the role of Tommy Tam, not just a male No.3 body double.

4. Reconciliation period

20 1 1 When filming The Beginning of the Great Renaissance, the crew specially arranged for John Woo and Chow Yun Fat to join the group on the same day. Since then, this feud has been resolved. Among them, Chow Yun Fat plays Yuan Shikai and Wu Yusen plays Lin Sen. ..

It is worth mentioning that when Tsui Hark won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director in 20 1 1, Chow Yun Fat was the awarding guest. Since then, Tsui Hark and Chow Yun Fat have been reconciled.

Tsui Hark and John Woo, two old friends, also made up at the 20 10 Venice Film Festival. Tsui Hark awarded John Woo the Lifetime Achievement Award and gave him a lot of help in filming Taiping Wheel.

Jing Wong said above that there is no kindness in the film circle, but there is kindness. Another hero is called mutual appreciation. The Great Sage believes that this is the case between Tsui Hark, John Woo and Chow Yun Fat, and looks forward to their cooperation again!
