My favorite is Brother Stephen, and there are still many of his discs collected at home. Of course, without the supporting roles to set him off, Stephen Chow's movies might be a different story! In Stephen Chow's movies, apart from himself and those who often act with him, the extras who occasionally appear also have interesting aspects. As Yin Tiachou said in "King of Comedy": "Extras are also actors... Although you play passers-by like A, B, and C, you still have life and soul." Yes, those extras in Stephen Chow's movies who you can't even name always burst out with a different kind of brilliance. They may make you feel dizzy or make you laugh your head off. Even though sometimes they only show their faces for a brief moment, it's enough to leave a mark in "Star" history and dominate the crowd.
This article painstakingly finds these extras, mainly to satisfy personal whims. On the big screen, big stars always shine the brightest, but that doesn't mean the extras should be ignored. Without them willingly playing the supporting role, Stephen Chow's movies might be a different story; conversely, why do these extras always leave the deepest impression on audiences in Stephen Chow's movies? And once they leave Stephen Chow, why are they almost forgotten? The most typical example is Yuan Qiu, who retired from acting for more than twenty years, and then at her grandmother-level age, she played the most brilliant role of her life, which is also quite thought-provoking.
Of course, the list of actors who have appeared in Stephen Chow's movies far exceeds the ones listed below. Those names that haven't been mentioned, those passers-by A, B, and C who also have life and soul, may one day suddenly touch your heart, making you smile knowingly, not necessarily otherwise. Ever since "All for the Winner", Wu Mengda has become the indispensable super supporting actor by Stephen Chow's side, and also the partner with the highest gold content.
