Zhou Wenjian

essential information

Personal experience

In 1994, Zhou Wenjian once made a film called "Adlai's life". The play is an experimental film, and the actors have to speak a lot about the lens and have a long lens. Because it is quite different from most Hong Kong films, which generally focus on the lens, the actors are required to have a high ability to grasp the film and performance skills.

When Zhou Wenjian starred in this film, he was really hard, because Zhou Wenjian always tried to get rid of the influence of Stephen Chow on himself. In his heart, he felt that the characters in a good movie didn't have to say a lot of dialogues. Sometimes, using body language to perform would be more powerful than language.

In 1999, when Zhou Wenjian took part in the film "mintcondition" directed by John Woo and Zhang Jiazhen, he signed a contract with endeavor company, one of Hollywood's five major agencies, and became the first male artist from Hong Kong, China to sign a contract with the agency. After that, he successfully shot the movie eraof vampires, which was produced by Columbia Pictures and directed by Tsui Hark, the dangerous journey directed by Cao Guilin, and the comedy kungphooey, which was independently produced. With kungphooey, he won the best comedy award of Houston Film Festival. In Hollywood, Zhou Wenjian has to compete with white people, black people, and other artists of different skin colors from various Asian countries if he wants to reach a new peak in his career. In the past, when filming in Hong Kong, Zhou Wenjian only had to compete with himself, so he gave himself three years to make a living in Hollywood. As a result, I became famous for playing the leading role of kungphooey in kungphooey, a comedy I produced independently later, and won the best comedy film award of Houston Film Festival.

Later, Zhou Wenjian and David kaladin cooperated in "dragon boy Denny", in which he played the role of a eunuch - that is, "the manager of the interior". In the play, Zhou Wenjian plays the role of protector of the princess, and in fact pays more attention to the princess than the emperor, just like his father. "Dragon boy Denny" is a digital film with little investment. Even so, all the actors will be "buried" in their own positions. In terms of production, they are very meticulous in terms of scenery and clothing. After all, for Zhou Wenjian, even Hollywood films with C-class investment are enough to make two good Hong Kong films.

In addition, Zhou Wenjian plays a eunuch in Hallmark's Marco Polo, which is a good man. Because the investment scale of Marco Polo is relatively large and the content is more serious. As a pure overseas producer, we will see the "Yuan Dynasty" emperor talking directly with Marco Polo in English. At the beginning, when Zhou Wenjian participated in "dragon boy Denny", a director talked about "Marco Polo". In fact, there are three roles for Zhou Wenjian to choose in this film: in addition to the role of eunuch, there is also a servant of Marco Polo; the play is relatively heavy, in addition, there is also a supporting role. Finally, Zhou Wenjian chose to play the role of eunuch. In his eyes, the eunuch's status was equivalent to that of the floor manager of an ancient nightclub, and he gave himself more room to play. Later, Zhou Wenjian was finally able to cooperate with the famous Hollywood star David carradin. He once shot the American TV series Kung Fu in the 1970s, and became popular with one of the characters. It is reported that when Bruce Lee entered Hollywood, he was defeated in competing for the role of the film and chose to return to Hong Kong for development. He is a very powerful international movie star. In the film, Zhou Wenjian will play a very brilliant role. The director of the play had seen a comedy "black moon and high wind" participated by Zhou Wenjian several years ago, and Zhou Wenjian's performance in the play left a deep impression on him. At that time, he wanted to find opportunities to cooperate with Zhou Wenjian several times and looked for Zhou Wenjian for many years. Finally, I found Zhou Wenjian's phone number from a friend in Shanghai last year, and I kept calling until I found Zhou Wenjian. So it can be said that they hate to see each other too late.

Love story

On July 3, 2009, Shirley, who had a love affair with Zhou Wenjian, was interviewed by Wu Junru's radio program in Hong Kong. She rarely talked about her love affair. She admitted that she had a bitter love affair with Zhou Wenjian at that time, and revealed that her son's father was a tall man outside the circle, which had nothing to do with Zeng Zhiwei.
