Bruce Leung once performed well in Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu", playing the role of the "Fire Cloud Evil God". Recently, he was interviewed by TV producer Yang Shaoxiong, in which he comprehensively criticized Stephen Chow's disrespectful behavior to actors, and revealed that his salary in "Kung Fu" is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is very pitiful.
Liang Xiaolong, 75 years old, is an experienced martial arts actor. He is not only an excellent performer, but also a veteran martial arts instructor. At the age of 15, he stepped into the martial arts industry and began working as a stuntman;At the age of 19, he joined Shaw Brothers Films and began working as a martial arts instructor. He has participated in films such as "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen".
When Stephen Chow was preparing for "Kung Fu", he not only auditioned amateur actors, but also invited many retired martial arts actors to participate in the audition, such as Liang Xiaolong, Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiu, etc.
Stephen Chow's successful planning has been verified, and his "Kung Fu" has become a classic, and subsequently, Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu have also become popular, and have starred in many film and television works one after another.
Liang Xiaolong played the role of "the strongest thug" in the film, so he attracted a large number of fans. However, in an interview, he revealed that he had signed a three-year contract with Stephen Chow's company and had not achieved anything, much to his disappointment.
Liang Xiaolong said that before taking over the filming of "Kung Fu", he had changed his career to business and no longer socialized with friends in the film industry.
However, Stephen Chow took the initiative to contact each other many times and seemed to be very sincere, but every time he discussed filming matters, he was put aside because he was busy, giving people a feeling of not being taken seriously.
Liang Xiaolong recalled that Stephen Chow found him a total of three times.
Stephen Chow called Liang Xiaolong when he first filmed "New Martial Arts", hoping that the two could cooperate. At that time, Liang Xiaolong politely rejected this proposal, and then Xing Ye said that he would continue to negotiate with director Wang Jing and Liang Xiaolong, but in the end failed to reach a cooperation.
In 2003, Stephen Chow invited Liang Xiaolong to his company for the second time to discuss cooperation. During the meeting, Zhou Xingye asked Liang Xiaolong if he really had excellent fighting skills, and also asked him if he was proficient in swordsmanship and stick skills. Bruce Leung replied that if he faced a threat to his life, he would go all out, believing that his potential would be ten times stronger than Bruce Lee!
When talking about this topic, Stephen Chow received a **, so he paused. Seeing this, Liang Xiaolong decided to leave, after all, Xing Ye has been playing **.
The next day, Stephen Chow called Liang Xiaolong again and invited him to his company to chat.
Stephen Chow continued to ask Liang Xiaolong if he really knew kung fu, probably because he asked too many questions, which made Liang Xiaolong start to doubt his ability, so he was a little angry. After Liang Xiaolong arrived.
Xing Ye once ridiculed Liang Xiaolong's big belly, saying that he is now "Pork Rong", and suspected that he may no longer be able to fight after retirement, Liang Xiaolong used examples to illustrate.
At that time, Liang Xiaolong was furious, and said loudly in front of Xing Ye: "I want you to lie on the ground in three seconds, this is to give you face;."If you don't give face, then for a second!”
Then, he stood up and kicked at will, causing Stephen Chow to fall to his knees, a move that completely conquered Xing Ye. So Xing Ye immediately decided to find Liang Xiaolong to play the role of "Huoyun Evil God".
Stephen Chow actually wrote the real dialogue between the two in the script, and the scene where the Axe Gang and the Huoyun Evil God met for the first time vividly showed the tricks of Liang Xiaolong and Xing Ye.
Liang Xiaolong felt that he was not respected enough, and in Xing Ye's opinion, everything was for his movie.
Liang Xiaolong angrily rejected Stephen Chow's invitation, and then left immediately.
A month later, Stephen Chow called Liang Xiaolong for the third time, and seemed to forget that Liang Xiaolong had refused to act, he only said one sentence: "Brother Xiaolong, you haven't come to Shanghai yet?".Hurry up. ”
Perhaps because he felt that Stephen Chow was very sincere, Liang Xiaolong did go to Shanghai to participate in the filming of the movie "Kung Fu".
Liang Xiaolong remembered that he was very dissatisfied with the appearance of the "Huoyun Evil God" and felt that Stephen Chow had scandalized him, "He always likes to scandalize others, and as a result, I stayed in the dressing room for 20 days and was embarrassed to go out to ......."”
Before filming "Kung Fu", Liang Xiaolong did not negotiate with Xing Ye on the remuneration, which made it difficult for the producer to answer him. It wasn't until he returned to China after filming that Liang Xiaolong learned that his salary was only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. He said with emotion: "I filmed this film for two whole months, working non-stop every day, from 6 o'clock in the morning to the early hours of the morning, and even had to work overtime, and in the end I only got 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is really meager." ”
Half a year later, Stephen Chow asked Tian Qiwen to go to Liang Xiaolong, offered to pay 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and signed a contract with Liang Xiaolong for three years. Liang Xiaolong agreed to join Stephen Chow's company.
Liang Xiaolong behaved very magically when he signed the contract, and he signed it without even reading the contract clearly. Since the contract needed to be stamped, he did not immediately take his share, but stayed in Stephen Chow's company.
In the next 18 months, Stephen Chow's company did not arrange any work for Liang Xiaolong, but someone approached him and asked to cooperate in filming, but he needed to pay 30% of the company's salary as a commission.
Liang Xiaolong took over more than ten plays during that time, and he had to pay Stephen Chow's company commission every time, which made him feel very uneconomical, and finally he decided to terminate the contract early.
When Liang Xiaolong proposed to terminate the contract, the other party said that the contract was missing, which made him cry and laugh, "If I had known that the contract would disappear, I would not have paid the commission." ”
Bruce Leung was invited to star in Stephen Chow's new movie, but this time he chose not to take the filming. The situation three or four years ago.
His impression of Stephen Chow is that each shot is NG dozens of times, and the actor is very hard. No matter how much he was paid, he didn't want to work with Stephen Chow anymore.
Liang Xiaolong is still active in the entertainment industry, he has his own account on the ** platform, interacts with fans, and occasionally participates in events to earn extra income.
Liang Xiaolong has been married twice, he married singer Li Ailian in 1976, and they gave birth to a daughter, Liang Ziwen.
Lai once claimed to have been beaten by her husband, Liang Xiaolong, which caused their marriage to not last long. Liang Xiaolong denied the accusation, but admitted that the two had decided to separate because of the other's long-term use of sleeping pills.
In 1979, Lai was burned in the face by a stranger outside her residence with a fire suit,** claiming that this was an act of revenge on her by Liang Xiaolong's enemies.
Liang Xiaolong undertook nearly 4 million Hong Kong dollars in his wife's plastic surgery, which led to the tragedy of Li Ailian's disfigurement, unfortunately fell into depression, and asked for death many times. It wasn't until after his wife ** that Liang Xiaolong officially divorced her in 1980.
In 1995, Liang Xiaolong remarried and married Song Xiang, who was 20 years younger than him from the Northeast region. They have a son and a daughter together, and the family of four lives happily.
