Especially friends who like watching Hong Kong films are familiar with him. He is a golden supporting role in Hong Kong movies, and his simple and charming appearance is deeply loved by the audience. Zheng Zeshi, nicknamed "Fat Cat", was born in Shantou, Guangdong in 1965. When he was a child, he was not rich and grew up in a wooden house on the roof.
Family life is very tight. As the eldest son, Zheng Zeshi wants to reduce the family burden. Before I graduated from high school, I was an apprentice in a jewelry store. Although Zheng Zeshi was born in a poor family, he had an actor dream since he was a child. Finally, at the age of 2 1, Longbow Film Company held the first actor training class.
Zheng Zeshi ran to sign up regardless of his family's opposition. Later, the radio station held an exhibition competition, and Zheng Zeshi won the first prize for his excellent performance. After that, he successfully signed a contract with TVB and became an artist. After entering the film and television circle, Zheng Zeshi mostly played a walk-on role at first.
Later, after joining wireless, he began to make his mark with films such as Four Eyes Detective and Falcon. Later, he also wrote and directed Why I Have Me, in which he played a mentally retarded man named Fat Cat. This is also the origin of his nickname. The play made Zheng Zeshi a great success. And won the Oscar for best actor.
Zheng Zeshi became famous, joined the New Art City Film Company and became friends with Huang Baiming. At that time, Wong Kar-wai was Huang Baiming's screenwriter. Huang Baiming once said that there were many screenwriters in the company at that time. He paid attention to Wong Kar-wai for several months and found that he didn't go to work and didn't hand in the script to the company.
So he found Wong Kar-wai, asked him to write a script, and gave it to the company three weeks later. Later, after Wong Kar-wai finished writing, Huang Baiming showed it to Zheng Zeshi and asked for his advice. Zheng Zeshi said "a pile of waste paper" after reading it. Because of Zheng Zeshi's words, Huang Baiming fired Wong Kar-wai.
No one expected that Wong Kar-wai later became a famous director. Later, Zheng Zeshi saw that Huang Baiming Company made a lot of money, so he and his friends started a film company at 1993. I just didn't expect the company's business to be very poor, and the box office of the films invested was not ideal. Finally, the company went bankrupt, and he also owed tens of millions of huge debts.
At that time, Dicky Cheung asked Zheng Zeshi to pay immediately and cancel the contract, because he owed Dicky Cheung millions of films. Finally, they disagreed, and Dicky Cheung took him to court. When Zheng Zeshi was down and out, he turned to many friends for help. He thinks he knows Chow Yun Fat very well. Because they have worked together, the relationship is ok.
So I asked him for help and was rejected. He lamented that the entertainment circle had no real feelings and had no choice but to sell the house and car. Later, with the help of Andy Lau, I slowly found myself. During that time, he was down and out, and his family often didn't have enough to eat and wear.
What makes him happy is his wife, who never leaves him even in such difficult times. The two became attached to each other because of the play. His wife is 14 years younger than him. After they got married, they had a son and a daughter. In order to make his family live a better life, Zheng Zeshi tried his best to make movies. His acting skills are getting better and better, and his acting career is getting wider and wider.
With his own efforts, he defeated Jackie Chan twice and won the Oscar for Best Actor. Today, 69-year-old Zheng Zeshi is still active in the entertainment circle. It was revealed on the Internet that his wife was hospitalized due to illness and had to pay high medical expenses. However, at such a difficult time, he still cared about Wuhan and donated 500 thousand.
It can be said that it is not easy, and his actions also make everyone admire. I hope my wife will recover soon and wish them a safe old age.
