I really didn’t expect that Stephen Chow, who had retired behind the scenes for many years, would appear on a variety show, and he would do a comedy variety show in the name of the “King of comedy”.

Some viewers are happy and others are worried. It is indeed up to everyone’s expectations for Xingye to participate in a variety show, but after being mysterious for so many years, is it a bit expensive to come out now?

Why do you say that?

On the one hand, it is because Stephen Chow’s background has long been mysterious, and many celebrities have been criticized for making quick money by recording variety shows and eroding their popularity among the public. On the other hand, because Stephen Chow has been criticized for “exhausting his talents” in recent years and is now going to tape variety shows in the name of the King of Comedy, does that count as a other consumption of his own works by Stephen Chow?

Xingye’s agent also revealed the company’s new trends. The drama version of “The King of Comedy” has been officially announced, the animated version of “God of Cookery” is about to be launched, and iQiyi also announced in-depth cooperation. with Stephen Chow’s corporate relationship.

This also means that Stephen Chow will really start to consume himself in all aspects now.

Over the years, Stephen Chow has not been able to bring anything new to the public.

“The New King of Comedy” was a disappointment both in terms of word of mouth and box office. “The Mermaid” was successful at the box office but not by word of mouth. After so many years, the second part has not been released. for now, the rest is either “Kung Fu” or a gender-switched version of “Shaolin Soccer.”

But for Stephen Chow, should this consume the public’s feelings? Is it necessary to earn this little money?

You’ve made so much money over the years, isn’t that enough? In fact, after digging through Stephen Chow’s assets, I found out that he is really not as rich as everyone thought, and behind these feelings lies all the affairs.

When Stephen Chow was still playing a small role, he earned a meager salary of 20 Hong Kong dollars an hour. However, ten years later, in 1993, Stephen Chow became the second highest-paid actor in Hong Kong, earning HK$12 million for one film. .

In 1999, in Wang Jing’s “The King of Kings 2000”, Stephen Chow received a salary of 18 million, converted into an hourly salary of 138,000.

In 2001, Huang Baiming also invited Stephen Chow to participate in the film with a salary of 20 million Hong Kong dollars. In exchange, it was an hourly salary of 200,000. Compared to the salary he had when he was a rookie actor, it was a full salary. 10,000 times worse.

However, Stephen Chow refused the high salary in order to direct other films.

But then Stephen Chow turned around and filmed an advertisement with Feng Xiaogang, and the advertising remuneration was 10 million. Although it was not announced how the remuneration was distributed, everyone is aware of the star’s exorbitant remuneration.

In 2004, “Kung Fu” cost a total of 150 million. Stephen Chow received 15 million. The salaries of the other actors were very low. The focus was on building a pig cage walled city and special effects.

In 2009, Stephen Chow received a salary of 31.2 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking fifth among Chinese film stars.

In the years when Stephen Chow was prosperous, he certainly didn’t just earn a salary. In 1990, Stephen Chow bought his first property and spent HK$4.75 million on Peak View Garden. In 2007, the price tripled.

In 1993, I spent 28 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a mansion in Repulse Bay. I sold it in 1996 and made a net profit of 14.5 million. In 1996, I spent HK$83.8 million to buy 7 Pule Road on the Peak. , and the market value doubled.

In 2004, Stephen Chow also purchased land on the top of the mountain and built four villas.

The four villas on this land were sold after they were built, and the total value of each exceeded 400 million Hong Kong dollars. Stephen Chow also kept one for himself.

To make a point, the mansion on this land is called “Tian Bigo”, and the company behind it is “Bigo Group”, which is Stephen Chow’s company and the company iQiyi wants to cooperate with.

The relationship between Stephen Chow and this company is long and complicated, so I will not go into details, but it can be seen that Stephen Chow has long been a capital.

In addition to speculating in real estate and setting up companies to raise capital, Stephen Chow also purchased many stores to collect rents. In 2002, he invested 30 million to buy two stores in Mong Kok. Two years later he sold them. only earned rent, but also earned another 13 million, Stephen Chow also bought stores several times.

Stephen Chow sold a store in Tsim Sha Tsui for a net profit of more than HK$100 million, more than a year after buying it.

According to Hong Kong media statistics, in 2004, Stephen Chow became the highest-paid artist thanks to his film salary and real estate speculation. He made 550 million from real estate speculation alone in four years, which is simply incredible.

Judging from the several luxury houses he lives in, they are low-key and luxurious. The simplest one is worth 200 million Hong Kong dollars. He is really rich!

But the good times did not last long. In 2009, Stephen Chow’s real estate speculation was interrupted due to the financial crisis, and he directly lost more than 10 million euros. This year, Stephen Chow was in the process of going public through a backdoor listing, spending 300. million Hong Kong dollars to successfully land the deal. The predecessor of Gao Group was Ditong International.

In 2015, Stephen Chow’s stock price plummeted and 497 million Hong Kong dollars were wiped out in an instant.

I don’t know if it was to obtain funds for filming or to compensate for the company’s losses. In 2016, Stephen Chow signed a four-year playing contract. He completed the first three years, but last year he announced it unilaterally. termination of the contract.

In 2021, the New Culture Company, which bets against Stephen Chow, is still pursuing its lawsuit, but the trial has not yet come to an end.

In fact, Stephen Chow has been the subject of constant lawsuits since 2015. He first sued Huayi for debts and lost the case. Stephen Chow demanded 86.1 million box office dividends from “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”, but he lost because the two parties did not sign and seal the agreement.

Later, the ex-girlfriend Yu Wenfeng failed to recover the investment share, but in this case, Stephen Chow won the case but lost his reputation. After all, it was really embarrassing for his girlfriend of 13 years to be in court.

However, in order to prove that Stephen Chow also presented evidence that he had offered 20 million to Yu Wenfeng.

However, when lawyer Yu Wenfeng cross-examined Stephen Chow in court, all of the Xingye filters were destroyed.

Over the years, there have been news that Stephen Chow needed funds to refinance his mortgaged mansion. Huang Yishan, who worked with Star, responded on his behalf. He said that Star owned many properties and that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.

But it is not difficult to imagine that compared to the previous Star Master, he has lost his glory. “The New King of Comedy” was not a bowl of hot rice, but instead received a lot of infamy.

Stephen Chow, who has kept a low profile for many years, is once again working hard for the “King of Comedy”. According to online reports, Stephen Chow and iQiyi are expected to cooperate for five years and invest no less than 1.5 billion. yuan. This means that Master Xing must have worked very hard in business in recent years.

Mr. Star, who once lived a low-key life in Hong Kong, is now laying the groundwork for his “business” over the next five years and “warming up” by taking photos with various celebrities.
