Representative Works: "Heroic" series Star History:
Chow Yun Fat, born on May 18, 1955 on Lamma Island, Hong Kong, junior high school education, after dropping out of school, he entered the community to work as a handyman, letter carrier and salesman, etc. In 1973, he was admitted to the TVB Artiste Training Course, the third graduates. In 1973, he was admitted to the TVB Artiste Training Course and was the third graduate. At that time, he was a classmate of Ng Man Tat, to whom he lost more than 200 dollars in a mahjong game. After graduation, he became a TVB artiste and acted in the program "Happy Tonight" and a number of dramas (the first one was "**** House **** Live" and the first drama that he played the leading role in was "Gang Wu Kid").Chow Yun Fat became famous in 1976 when he starred in the TV drama "Frenzy", and has been starring in a number of dramas since then. He starred in TV dramas, famously including "Man in the Net" and "Shanghai Tang".
In 1975 he started making movies, the first one being "The Casting Man". He has won the title of "Emperor of Movies" seven times. He starred in Waiting for Dawn, which won the Best Actor Award at the 30th Asia-Pacific Film Festival and the Best Actor Award at the 24th Golden Horse Awards, and starred in Heroes in Character, The Winds of Dragon and Tiger and The Story of Ah Lang, which won the Best Actor Award at the 6th, 7th and 9th Hong Kong Film Awards. He has also won the "Asia's Most Outstanding Actor Award" from the American Film Institute and South Korea.
Starting out with small roles in Hong Kong dramas on TVB, he has acted in more than 60 films over the past 20 years. Whether it's a playful comedy or a serious drama, whether it's an obsessive rich boy or a just and heroic police officer, Fat's acting is all natural and without pretense. 1986's "Heroic" in the role of the righteous Little Brother Ma, established Fat in the film industry's most famous screen image. 1987 because of the director Zhang Wanting's "Fairytale of the Autumn" and on the Golden Horse Film Festival, where he played the role of a In the movie, he played the role of a Hong Kong student who has a bitter crush on Cherie Chung. The "God of Gamblers" is another screen role created by Fat, and to see a swarm of "gambling" heirs after the "God of Gamblers" is to know how successful this "God of Gamblers" is.
Wanting to have a piece of Hollywood has been the goal of many Chinese actors and actresses, but not many of them have been able to realize this dream. After the success of Jackie Chan's "Peak Hour" in Hollywood, Chow Yun-Fat's third Western film is about to be released. Unlike Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-Fat didn't rely on his fists and feet to enter Hollywood, but rather, he has gained the favor and recognition of audiences all over the world with his superb acting skills and charming Asian masculinity.
With his first Western, "The Replacement Killer," with Mira Sorvino, topping the U.S. weekend box office in its first week, Fat established his foothold in the U.S. market. In his second feature film, "The Edge", Fat plays a police officer who has gradually forgotten his ideals and ambitions as he goes about his business in the seedy world of the police force. It is only under the influence of the idealistic and upright rookie Mark Wahlberg (Dirty Dancing, Don't Walk Away) that he begins to summon up some of the righteousness and perseverance he once had, while struggling with reality and ideals. Though the characters are still not free from the roles of killers and policemen, the policeman in the film, who walks in the gray area between good and evil, is a good space to play and once again reveals his mature acting skills.
Chow Yun-fat's name had already managed to break into Hollywood, with actress Jodie Foster joining him to bring "The King and I" back to the big screen again, co-starring in "Anna and the King".
The 2000 film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", starring him and Michelle Yeoh, was an even bigger hit, earning him even wider recognition and finally affirming his success in Hollywood. 2007 saw his participation in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" as Singapore's pirate king, Shao Feng, and his performances opposite international superstars such as Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
About TVB
Chow Yun-Fat was admitted to the third artiste training class of TVB in 1974. TVB has two ways of creating stars, namely the "Miss Hong Kong" beauty contest and the artiste training class. The most successful example of the former is Maggie Cheung, and the latter is a movie star, a famous director and producer, like Chow Yun-Fat, who later starred in serials such as "Frenzy", "Struggle", "Man in the Net", "Shanghai Tang", "Thousands of Kings", "Smiling Proudly in the Wanderer's World", "Beggar Su", and "Kindred Spirits".

[edit]Classic roles
In the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Chow Yun-Fat has been honored with this award three times in one ****. In addition, he also won the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for the best actor, as well as Hong Kong's first "Director's Choice Award" for the best actor, the Motion Picture Association of America "Asian Outstanding Actor Award". These awards are a testament to the number of classic roles that Fat has portrayed on the silver screen. Whether he was a killer, a thief or a scoundrel, he was always able to bring a lovable side to his roles. The classiness of these roles is no longer limited to the classiness of Fat's acting, but the classiness of him and his characters as human beings outside and inside the theater.
Hui Wenqiang - "Shanghai Tang" (1980)
In the 1980s, Hong Kong TV dramas emerged in the mainland, two of which can be used as a representative of its keywords, one is the "Legend of the Eagle Eagles Heroes", the other is the "Shanghai Tang", and in the "Shanghai Tang", the role of Xu Wenqiang's Chow Yun-Fat from that time to become a fascination of thousands of girls! "Tough guy + tenderness" school idol. At the same time to become the object of public admiration, Zhou Yunfa himself also thus had a turnaround in his acting career. Borrowing the opportunity of this major drama, Chow Yun Fat has since established his "wireless number one boy" status. Xu Wenqiang and Zhou Yunfa later played a lot of different roles (such as "Crocodile Pool" in the traces of the faction appeared to be too heavy), Xu Wenqiang, although it is in the last century, the 1930s, Shanghai, but there are still a lot of elegance, elegant temperament, I do not know if this is related to the Zhou Yunfa that year, originally the age of the young, but no matter what, this point does help him to successfully portray the image of the public's lover. Because behind the main line of blood and violence there is a warm undercurrent, that is, Xu Wenqiang and Feng Cheng Cheng's love scene, you know, to see the grand finale to make us hang on to the heart is that always around the grudges and feuds.
Small Mark - "Heroes of Color" (1986)
"Heroes of Color" in the brightest characters is small Mark (Mark), to say that the classic moment, we always have a water, but small Mark sitting in a ballroom to burn money to light a cigarette, I believe that the picture is the most impressive scene left to everyone - - simply arrogant to the point of no return. Simply arrogant to no avail! Although in retrospect this interpretation of "heroism" is a bit superficial and shallow, but it does complement our blood boiling age.
Fun Tau Sak - A Fairytale in Autumn (1987)
Chow Yun-Fat plays Fun Tau Sak, who lives in New York City's Chinatown, and Cherie Chung plays Thirteen Sisters, who is studying in the United States. The two meet because they are distant relatives, but one is a vulgar old man and the other is a beautiful and arrogant beauty. Although they are not a perfect match, Chow Yun-Fat's charisma makes the audience mesmerized by this fairy tale love story.
Zhong Tianzheng - Prisoners of War I (1987)
Chow Yun-Fat has hardly ever played a good guy, but he is always a good guy. Although Chung Tin-ching is a prison inmate, the audience wants to beat up the prison guard, played by Cheung Yiu-yeung, and at the same time hopes that Chung Tin-ching will meet his son one day.
Arang - "The Story of Arang" (1989)
Arang was a very good race car driver when he was young, but was imprisoned for illegal racing. After his release from prison, he was fortunate enough to receive his son, Bo, from an orphanage. However, his wife, Bo Bo, wanted to take Bo to the United States for a better life. Lang is determined to raise Bo on his own, and the audience is eager to persuade Bo to stay and give Lang a chance. However, the ending scene of the motorcycle explosion brings tears to the eyes. The movie was a great success," he said!
Gao Jin - "God of Gamblers" (1989)
Hong Kong movies during the gambling period can be described as prosperous, not counting their respective sequels and TV series version of the "God, Saint, Warrior, Bastard, King" 5 sets of the series, as the first gun of the "God of Gamblers", its appeal is thus evident. Chow Yun-Fat plays Gao Jin, in fact, the name of the character is not important, the important thing is the title of the God of Gamblers, and more importantly, Chow Yun-Fat's personal charisma to play this title to the extreme.
Siu Chuang - "Bloodshed" (1989)
The role of the killer, Siu Chuang, together with John Woo's elaborate design of the dove in the midst of the gunfire and the statue of the Virgin Mary collapsing in the candlelight, have become classics in Hong Kong cinema. The bond with a songstress who is mistakenly wounded by herself, the sending of a mistakenly wounded child to the hospital, a killer on the trail of a policeman becomes an object that the audience desperately wants to pamper. Eventually, even the cop, played by Lee Soo-hyun, is infected by the killer's charm.
Zu - "Across the Sea" (1991)
In "Across the Sea," Chow Yun-fat was once again turned into a popular "bad guy" by John Woo. Chow Yun-Fat plays Joe, who was groomed by his adoptive father to become a gangster. His adoptive father's injustice turns him into a decent guy, who pretends to be crippled and wheelchair-bound in order to avenge his death. The charm of the wheelchair Chow Yun-Fat does not decrease but increases, after seeing him dancing with Cherie Chung in a wheelchair, and helping Leslie Cheung to steal paintings in a wheelchair, you will surely feel that this wheelchair man is more charming than an able-bodied person. And the final scene where Fat becomes the nanny of Cheung and Chung's family, wearing an apron and doing chores to watch the kids while watching a soccer game, adds to his lovability.
The King - Anna and the King (1999)
This was a milestone in Chow Yun Fat's journey to Hollywood. Because he is Asian, Chow Yun-Fat has an inherent advantage over the original King's character, and from this movie, which has Chow Yun-Fat's stamp on it, we can see how good Hollywood's star-making system is at tapping into the charisma between the individual star and the character. Chow Yun-Fat played the king less stubborn, violent in the original version, more gentle and elegant, more generous and tolerant, when we see Chow Yun-Fat with fluent English and comfortable body language to the American talent Judy Foster to express love, we feel that Chow Yun-Fat in the U.S. this time is considered a success.
Li Mu Bai - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2000)
Ann Li found Chow Yun-Fat to play Li Mu Bai, perhaps out of the star effect, but he designed a set of "master swordsmanship" for Chow Yun-Fat seems to be the form of both intent and preparation, Li Mu Bai is actually a supporting role, but for his appearance is always people have expectations, finally! Show up a moment to reveal the superb skills, especially the bamboo top light fighting a section, especially light and natural, personal education jade Jiao Long section is more step by step, narrated, master identity jumped out in front of us. Especially in the blue-eyed Jade Fox's poison needle, fell in the arms of his sister Yu Xiulian a scene, Zhou Yunfa with superb acting skills convincing interpretation of the love and righteousness of the warrior at the cost of his life to the beloved and even the whole world to pay the justice and care, tear-jerking.

And it's a truth that motivates people to be strong, but also enlightens them to be optimistic without being utilitarian, as opposed to your Western culture's definition of a one-way street to the end. I don't seek your approval, just my own perseverance." -- Chow Yun-Fat, explaining "The Middle Way" to a Western reporter during the filming of "Anna and the King".
