P4 Entertainment Dark Faces of "The Kings of Comedy" Excuetive Editor: Gao Heng & Wang Qian
Recently，the movie A Chinese Odyssey directed by Stephen Chow is on screen again on October 24th. Howerver，beyond people’s expectation, Chow was involved in great public opinion while they were reviewing the most memorable part of it. A month ago, some famous actors of Hong Kong led by Mrs. Xiang made critical comments on him. As one of the most famous comedians and comedy directors, there was no doubt that Mr. Chow went down well with film audience because of his outstanding artistic talent. But his personality repelled many people who were his colleagues. Some actors who worked with him such as Luo Jiaying (the player of

there existing some differences between a public appearance and who he really is. It happens there is a similar case. In January this year, the famous American comedy director

And it was not the first time that Woody Allen got bogged down in sex scandals. Woody Allen divorced his former wife Mia Farrow because he had an affair with another adopted daughter of M i a F a r r o w, Soon-Yi.

She performed many films about cancer to collect money to help the patients. With reg ards to these distinguished comedians，we may call them as “The King of Comedy”.

Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. If God intended everybody to be the same, he’d given all braces on our legs. Don’t ever let anybody tell you they’re better than you. Miracles happen every day. —Forrest Gump
