Olympic champion Wei Zi.

Chang Wei, who doesn't know martial arts in Stephen Chow movies, won the Olympic Games?

Recently, Liu Yang, the Olympic champion of men's rings, made a neck-twisting action in the competition: there were many comments from netizens, and the champion's expression and action were very similar to the classic villain Chang Wei in Stephen Chow's movie Being a Sesame Officer.

Someone laughed and said: As soon as I turned on the TV, I saw the "Changwei" pull-tab winning the gold medal, which was more exciting.

Joke aside, I didn't expect Liu Yang, the Olympic champion, and Zou Zhaolong, the actor of Chang Wei, who will be 54 this month, to interact from a distance and throw their heads at each other to see who is more ruthless.

As a result, after the genuine "Changwei" went online, our champion immediately became a small movie fan, smiling with a cute face.

Liu Yang has long made it clear that he didn't mean to make that kind of expression and action in the game. In fact, he wants to be confident, but his performance is not perfect because of a cramp in his thumb.

However, it is precisely because of Liu Yang's careless move that Zou Zhaolong may never deny that he is the actor of Chang Wei. Twenty-four years after the film was released, Zou Zhaolong "broke the defense" for the first time, showing the role heat with the aura of Olympic champion.

When the name Zou Zhaolong was mentioned before, it was almost equal to a "professional villain", and it was often ridiculed by netizens as: You can tell by your face that you are not a good person.

But few people know that Zou Zhaolong, who can't play martial arts in many plays, is actually the chief disciple publicly admitted by Sammo Hung, the eldest brother of the film industry. He has real kung fu and acting skills that are often underestimated, and even has a place in Hollywood.

Although he failed to rank among the first-line kung fu superstars such as Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Jet Li, Zou Zhaolong also had an extraordinary legendary experience.

Zou Zhaolong was born in Taiwan Province province, China. Because his family was poor, he went out to work at the age of six. First, I worked in a wood carving shop for three years, and then I went to a bakery as an apprentice at the age of nine. Three years later, 12-year-old Zou Zhaolong happened to see a film company recruiting people, so he applied for a job as a martial artist and started his career as a mixed studio to make a living.

As peers, not to mention many HuiLaiShi. At that time, what Zou Zhaolong wanted to do most was to work more, earn more money, and never have to worry about going hungry again ... From morning till night, Zou Zhaolong slowly learned Taekwondo, Muay Thai and various fighting skills, constantly refreshing his skills to make a living.

Six years later, Zou Zhaolong walked down the road as if he had been hit by a pie. Sammo Hung took a fancy to this little guy on the set and arranged for him to star in the movie "Full Rebound".

Zou Zhaolong went through a lot of difficulties and became a new kung fu player in the entertainment circle.

1988, Zou Zhaolong went to Hong Kong for development, and conveniently joined Hongjiaban under Sammo Hung, becoming the first apprentice officially announced by Big Brother in the film industry.

Speaking of which, I have to mention one thing. Zou Zhaolong's original name was Zou Longyun. After meeting Sammo Hung, he was given the stage name Ni Xing. He has been here for so many years, and I believe most people only remember a "Chang Wei".

Of course, after knowing Sammo Hung, Zou Zhaolong got all the male scripts first. It is said that Big Brother is willing to praise him. He has given Zou Zhaolong several plays from 1989 to 1993, including Street of Fire, and even set him off with Xiao Haoqin, who has long been popular with zombie films.

Let's just say that sometimes popularity means a lack of luck, not that you will get everything you want.

Fortunately, Zou Zhaolong, who devoted himself to the world of kung fu, did not fall. Backed by the noble Sammo Hung, he met another Kung Fu emperor, Jet Li. Unexpectedly, he suddenly made his own villain world.

Especially in 1994, a movie starring Jet Li, Zou Zhaolong brilliantly interpreted a half-crazy and half-crazy villain, which left a deep impression on many fans.

At that time, for the first time in the industry, there appeared a man who could fight against the Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li.

Since then, from Letter to Dad, Adventure King, Detective No.2 to forbidden kingdom, with the status of Jet Li's best partner, Zou Zhaolong has pushed himself to the position of the best actor among villains.

Although Jet Li's action film and Stephen Chow's film Being a Sesame Officer were filmed in the same year, Zou Zhaolong only got a taste of popularity because of the latter, and he felt like a thorn in his heart, and he was unwilling to admit the role of "Chang Wei" for many years.

Having played so many villains, Zou Zhaolong's seemingly contradictory mentality is not difficult to understand: he didn't read many books since he was a child, but in the end he made some achievements on his own. Maybe some people who practice martial arts will bring you a healthy mind.

A character eats for a lifetime, which many insiders can't get. Others can't understand Zou Zhaolong's inexplicably lofty, but he quickly calmed all the doubts in the circle with his actions.

Around 2000, Zou Zhaolong joined the crew of The Matrix in Hollywood, and three years later, he took part in The Matrix 2.

It is said that at that time, the film side intended to invite Jet Li to join us, but the two sides failed to discuss the issue of film remuneration. Then Yuan Heping, a well-known martial arts instructor in Hollywood, thought of Zou Zhaolong, who was studying in the United States, and invited him to participate in the film martial arts design while completing the filming.

Zou Zhaolong is proud that as long as "The Matrix" continues to be shown, even if he is lying down and not working, he can get a certain percentage of dividends.

Zou Zhaolong once admitted in public that even after his death, his children will continue to receive film copyright fees, even higher than the films he made in those years.

Although this classic Hollywood film has won many awards, Zou Zhaolong is still an unknown "alien". He said that it doesn't matter how many villains are played in China, but once a western film is made, it represents the image of China people, and no amount of money will play a role in slandering the image of China people.

Because of Zou Zhaolong's eye-catching performance before and after The Matrix series, there are rumors that he is also a "purple star" among martial arts stars, and he can attract the attention of film companies by punching a set of fists with his bare hands.

Undeniably, the six-year martial arts career on the set has built a bridge between Zou Zhaolong and noble Sammo Hung, but it can't erase the efforts and efforts behind this tough guy.

Zou Zhaolong, who came out to work at the age of 6, began to practice basic skills and play wing chun boxing at this age when he should have been spoiled ... So, when he became famous, he questioned it, and then he was emboldened to make such a cruel joke that "Donnie Yen is no match for me".

Today, at the age of 54, he still maintains a very good figure and posture, still has kung fu and fists, and continues to win the love of many audiences, especially male audiences.

It is said that men are always teenagers. Actually, look at Zou Zhaolong. From working on the set in his early years to being an ordinary villain, even when he entered Hollywood, he never changed his mind.

Don't need others to remember his star status, remember the movies and roles he paid, and remember the peerless master who is one in a million on the screen.

Zou Zhaolong was able to make an unexpected appearance at the Olympic Games this time, precisely because he has been in the hearts of many audiences.
