Stephen Chow Sing Chi (Chinese: 周星馳, born 22 June 1962) is a Hong Kong film director,[1][2] actor,[3] film producer, political adviser of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference[4] and martial artist.

Early life and education

Chow was born in Hong Kong on 22 June 1962 to Ling Bao'er (凌寶兒), a alumnus of Guangzhou Normal University, and Zhou Shangyi (周尚驛), an immigrant from Ningbo, Zhejiang.[5] Chow has two sisters, Chow Wenji (周文姬) and Chow Xingxia (周星霞).[6] Chow's given name "Sing-chi" (星馳) derives from Tang dynasty (618–907) Chinese poet Wang Bo's essay Preface to the Prince of Teng's Pavilion.[7] After his parents divorced when he was seven years old, Chow was raised by his mother.[7] Chow attended Xiehe School (協和小學), a missionary school attached to the Hong Kong Council of the Church of Christ in China in Prince Edward Road, Kowloon Peninsula.[8] When he was nine years old, he saw Bruce Lee's film The Big Boss, which inspired him to become a martial arts star.[9] Chow entered San Marino Secondary School, where he studied alongside Lee Kin-yan.[9] After graduation, he was accepted to TVB's acting classes.[10]

Film career

Chow began his career as a temporary actor on television.[11] He graduated from TVB's acting classes in 1982. Chow began to find some success with the children's programme 430 Space Shuttle. In 1987, Chow entered the movie industry through the film Final Justice, which won him the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.[12]

Chow shot to stardom in The Final Combat (1989) and All for the Winner (1990). Fight Back to School (1991) became Hong Kong's top-grossing film of all time. In 1994, he began directing films, starting with From Beijing with Love. In the later half of the 1990s, China began to warm to Chow's films and he became the Stephen Chow Culture.[13][14]

In 2001, his film Shaolin Soccer grossed over US$50 million worldwide.[15][16][17][18] Chow won Best Director and Best Actor at the 2002 Hong Kong Film Awards, and the film went on to garner additional awards including a Blue Ribbon Awards for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Picture and Best Director.[19]

In 2004, his film Kung Fu Hustle grossed over US$106 million worldwide. Chow also won Best Director at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and Best Picture of Imagine Film Festival as well as twenty international awards.[20]

Chow's film CJ7 began filming in July 2006 in the eastern Chinese port of Ningbo.[21] In August 2007 the film was given the title CJ7, a play on China's successful Shenzhou manned space missions—Shenzhou 5 and Shenzhou 6.[22] CJ7 became the highest-grossing film of all time in Malaysia.[23]

In 2013, Chow's film Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons became the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time.[24]

In 2016, his new film The Mermaid broke numerous box office records: Biggest opening day, biggest single-day gross after its seventh day of release, biggest opening week of all time in China.[25] On 19 February, it became the highest-grossing film of all time in China.[26]

The Mermaid was released in Vietnam on 10 February, 2016. On 14 March, it became the third-highest-grossing film of all time in Vietnam. It has now grossed over US$553 million[27] worldwide and is the highest-grossing movie of all time in Asia.[28]

Stephen Chow became the ninth-top-grossing Hollywood Director of 2016.[29]
