In 1994, Zhou Xingchi wanted Luo Jiaying to star in "Da Vinci" in "Domestic Lingling Paint", but He did not expect Luo Jiaying to say: "I really can't look at those things of Zhou Xingchi!" In the end, Luo Jiaying, who sang Cantonese opera for 40 years, quickly bought two apartments by relying on Stephen Chow.
Born into a Cantonese opera family, Lo Ka Ying studied Cantonese opera with his skilled uncle from an early age.
Later, Luo Jiaying has also been engaged in Cantonese opera, but fewer and fewer people will watch Cantonese opera, and Luo Jiaying has no way out no matter how hard he struggles.
Even if you look at a house with 3,000 yuan and a flat, you can only rely on monthly loan repayment to provide housing.
Fortunately, in 1994, Zhou Xingchi began filming "Domestic Lingling Paint", and immediately thought of letting Luo Jiaying play "Da Vinci".
At first, Luo Jiaying refused, never met Stephen Chow, never watched his movies, and felt that Stephen Chow's movies were too noisy, simply too senseless.
Luo Jiaying asked him: "What is this role?" ”
Stephen Chow said he was a scientist, but there was no script yet.
When Luo Jiaying heard that he was a scientist, he was overjoyed and looked at qian's face and was ready to perform a good performance.
On the day of filming, Luo Jiaying arrived at the scene at ten o'clock in the morning, and it did not start until 5 p.m.
Unexpectedly, the staff only gave him a pair of slippers, a tank top shorts, and a deliberate sprinkle of water on the ground.
At the beginning of Ling Lingqi, Luo Jiaying quoted the Cantonese opera running round field, still holding two bags of vegetables, and Zhou Xingchi wanted this effect.
More classic is that Luo Jiaying used cantonese opera to read out the line "Li Bao Shan Xi Qi Qi Shi", Zhou Xingchi reacted very quickly, and immediately said with the singing voice of Cantonese opera, "The time is unfavorable and does not die".
Finally, "Domestic Lingling Paint" was released and earned a box office of HK$37.52 million in Hong Kong, ranking third in the box office list.
Luo Jiaying's fame has also risen, and there are constant producers who come to the door, and the drama will never be finished.
In 1995, Zhou Xingchi began to prepare for the filming of "Journey to the West", which had been filming for a while, and suddenly called Luo Jiaying: "Brother Jiaying, I am Zhou Xingxing." ”
Luo Jiaying: "What care does Xingye have?" ”
Zhou Xingchi said long story short: "You want to come to the mainland to shoot a play with me "Journey to the West", you come to play the Tang monk, the original actor does not meet my requirements, I think you are the best." ”
Luo Jiaying: "How long will it take to shoot?" ”
It would take three months for Luo Jiaying to hear it. Immediately refused, after all, at that time, xu ke's scene was filmed, and Wang Jing's scene was also filmed, and it was impossible to leave.
Zhou Xingchi changed his words again: "Well, then you come up for a month." ”
Luo Jiaying refused: "The schedule of the movie is very dense, and it is impossible to go away." ”
Zhou Xingchi thought about it again and said helplessly, "Those ten days are always OKAY, right?" ”
Luo Jiaying kept shaking his head and refusing: "Not for a week." ”
Zhou Xingchi: "Brother Jiaying, you must come up, this thing is a good thing, you come up." ”
In the end, Luo Jiaying agreed, but only three days were freed.
This time, the improvisational "Only You" became The Masterpiece of Luo Jiaying's life.
"Journey to the West" made him even more popular, and the audience not only recognized this nonsense performance, but also recognized Luo Jiaying.
Luo Jiaying can usually get 200,000 yuan for the whole movie, which is six or seven thousand a day.
Later, the advertiser also invited Zhou Xingchi and Luo Jiaying to shoot advertisements such as Fanta and Green Apple Soda in the desert together. Now this brand of soda business is done all over the world.
After this time became popular, Luo Jiaying immediately paid off the mortgage and bought a new house.
I have to say that Zhou Xingchi is Luo Jiaying's nobleman. Without Zhou Xingchi, there are not so many people who know Luo Jiaying, even if he is a small supporting role in the movie, it is enough for him to be popular for a lifetime.
In 2019, Luo Jiaying was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and after the operation, the body will have sequelae, so he must wear diapers to perform on stage, but he is still optimistic about life.
Now Luo Jiaying is also 75 years old, and he and his wife Wang Mingquan love each other and accompany each other. Doing things that we like each other together at this age is simply the most beautiful look of love.
