Wu Mengda admits that he does have a problem with Zhou Xingchi, but he does not refuse to cooperate again

　　As a classic "green leaf" in the Hong Kong film industry, Wu Mengda relies on countless supporting roles to still maintain his status as the king of funny. However, in recent years, he has frequently absent from Chow Xingchi’s new films, and the two have frequently been at odds, making future cooperation rather slim. In this regard, Wu Mengda, who came to Changsha to promote "Love Art of War" on October 21, said bluntly that the two do have a knot, but they will definitely cooperate in the future.

　　When he went bankrupt, he was refused to borrow money from Chow Yun Fat

　　In 1971, the confident and attractive Wu Mengda was easily admitted to the TVB artist training class at the age of 20, and became classmates with Zhou Yun-fa and Zhou Xingchi. With his own cleverness and the rapid development of the film market at that time, Wu Mengda ran for a year, and then took on the role of Hu Tiehua in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", which made his career reach the peak. He said with a smile that he had an income of 1,500 US dollars once he took the stage, and he lived on a high income of one performance a day for a year. "Many people around me praised me to the sky, and I also swelled very much, just like Jay Chou now. I am also completely lost. I drink, play cards every day, and have women. I don’t have the heart to work, so I look forward to finishing work early." Wu Mengda admitted that with the increasing erosion of life, until 1980 not only owed 300,000 yuan gambling debt, but also faced no drama.

　　It is well known that Wu Mengda once went bankrupt, and the two broke up for a time because he refused to borrow money from his friend Zhou Yun-fa. "The first thing I thought of at that time was my best friend Zhou Yun-fa. I didn’t expect him to say to me: You solve it yourself! I hated him so much at the time, I couldn’t understand that sentence, what was 300,000 to him? I thought about it at home for three days. I remembered a reservoir I went to play in when I was a child, and everything was solved by jumping down. I wanted to commit suicide." Wu Mengda recalled with tears that not only Zhou Yun-fa, but all his friends around him and his junior brother Du Qifeng also thought: "I am a piece of mud, look down on me."

　　He didn’t act in "Kung Fu" and was accused of not being loyal enough

　　Determined where to fall and where to get up, Wu Mengda did not sink due to bankruptcy. Instead, he gained trust again through step-by-step reflection during the four-year slump. In 1988, he started his first collaboration with Stephen Chow ("He Comes from Jianghu"), and since then the "Stephen Chow + Wu Mengda" model has become a symbol of nonsense style. "He was a person with a lot of ideas back then, but the director didn’t believe him, so his ideas were often proposed by me." Although they were once close to each other, Wu Mengda admitted that there was a crack when they arrived at "Kung Fu". "At that time, I had SARS, and I couldn’t make’Kung Fu ‘on my schedule. He felt that I was not enough friends and loyalty, and the two of them were not happy with each other. If I act, I think the charter is mine."

　　Regarding the relationship between the two, Wu Mengda bluntly said that Chow Xingchi now feels very different from before. "He has raised himself to a high level, and now no one dares to deny him, but I think he needs to be denied because he is a mortal. Everyone is wrong sometimes." Although Chow Xingchi has moved from Xingzai to Xingye, Wu Mengda said that he still calls him Xingzai. "A title doesn’t mean I don’t respect him. He calls me Uncle Da, Brother Da, and I am happy to call me Xiaoda."

　　Wu Mengda also said that no matter what the outside world thinks of Zhou Xingchi, the other party is undoubtedly full of talent. "Like’Journey to the West ‘, he just wants to make it look good and fun, and he doesn’t think about becoming a classic at all." Except for work, Wu Mengda has little contact with Zhou Xingchi, but he said that the two will definitely cooperate again. (Cheng Feng)
