Even the most critical people can't deny the supremacy of Chow Yun Fat in Hong Kong and even the whole Chinese film circle since 1980s. In a sense, Chow Yun Fat is a hero in Hong Kong commercial films and a microcosm of Hong Kong film moderns. His performance is natural, not forced, and everything is instinctive. The word performance is just a simple concept for Chow Yun Fat, because his appearance is an achievement of the film itself. As long as he stands there, he will become the embodiment of the dreams of millions of people. Hairstyles with hair on the back, sunglasses, natural, generous and imposing walking posture, explosive expression, passionate body language, cold and sharp eyes, and the action of a trench coat hunter with a gun have all become cool endorsements and a stalwart figure. Handsome and masculine appearance and rough and bold personality make him have the real king temperament, but many people think that the unclear mouth shape provides a complete condition for the diversification of his performances. Evil smiles and warm eyes complement each other, so there is the sincere brotherhood in Hero, the prodigal son's feelings in Alang's story and the sincere love in autumn fairy tales. His vigorous personal performance style determines his supreme position in China film industry.
Chow Yun Fat (20 films) Chow Yun Fat's departure from Hollywood also announced the end of an era of Hong Kong films, that is, the end of romantic violence and gangster heroism, because only in the films of Fage can blood be regarded as a gentleman's art.

About TVB
Chow Yun Fat was admitted to the third art training class of TVB on 1974.

At this time, another director, John Woo, is also at a low point in his career and is thinking about a new way out. He used to be famous for kung fu movies, but he thinks that the traditional kung fu movies have reached the bottleneck, and society needs a new hero, a modern hero. So he brought together Chow Yun Fat and Tommy Tam and made a movie "The True Color of Heroes". John Woo's moving mirror and Chow Yun Fat's rich body language made this film an unprecedented success, and Mark became a deeply rooted character. Xu Wenqiang

In this film, AG, the gambler he plays, suffers from amnesia, is brought in by a gambler's knife, regains his memory, and defeats the gambling king in the poker game of Stud. Because the theme of the novel broke the box office record in Hong Kong at that time, a new wave of gambling movies was imitated by groups.
