Recently, "comedy king" Stephen Chow suddenly accepted an interview from his old friend Le Chi San of TVB to promote his new movie "The Kungfu Women's Football Team".
This information immediately attracted attention in the fan community. Because Stephen Chow has been very limited in accepting private interviews with the media in recent years, his open conversation in front of the camera makes many people curious, who is Le Chi San to do that.
The person who played an important role in connecting this special conversation was Le Chi San. After the program aired, she could not hide her excitement and revealed that inviting Chau Tinh Tri, who had been almost "hidden" for many years, was successful thanks to a relationship from a young age.
She laughed and said: "Initially, the television station intended to send me because they thought the success rate would be higher, but unexpectedly they actually invited me. Perhaps he saw that it was an acquaintance, so he immediately agreed to interview me.
The predestined relationship between Le Chi San and Stephen Chow began from TVB's classic children's program "430 Trans-Arctic Trains".
Recalling the first time she met Stephen Chow, Le Chi San used the word "weird" to describe it. At that time, she had just joined the program not long ago.
Le Chi San remembers vividly once she and Chau Tinh Tri went to the beach to film outdoor scenes. While the director was introducing her as a new host, Chau Tinh Tri left on her own, squatting by the beach playing with a jellyfish washed ashore by waves.
That "unreasonable but very Tinh Gia" greeting made her both funny and confused, but still left a deep impression on Le Chi San to this day.
In Le Chi San's eyes, Chau Tinh Tri in his youth was already a "unlike anyone else" children's program host. He did not intentionally pretend to be cute to make young children laugh, but on the contrary, often argued with them right in front of the camera. In the "Black and White Diamonds" section, he even showed a very characteristic black humor.
She commented that Stephen Chow is a person who "has a soaring imagination, creativity and observation skills are very high", and revealed that she used to be a "person who tests humor" for him.
Le Chi San shared: "He often takes you as a test object for his soaring ideas. He immediately says something when he thinks of it, to see if you are laughing to check if the idea is effective or not.
The last time the two met was in 2013, when Stephen Chow directed "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and Le Chi San was the MC for the press conference.
After 13 years, the two reunited again. She admitted that before the interview she was really quite stressed: "At first I was a little worried. Watching his interviews in recent years, I was afraid he would end just by saying one sentence.
She humorously said that before filming, she rated the difficulty of the interview as 8/10. However, all worries immediately disappeared as soon as Stephen Chow entered the studio: "As soon as I saw him walk in to greet everyone, I knew it was okay, it felt like meeting an old friend again.
She also revealed that every time they meet her, the first question Chau Tinh Tri always asks is: "Why don't you look like you've changed anything?". The saying made Le Chi San extremely happy. She used the phrase "feeling still like before" to describe the decades-long friendship between the two.
