It was revealed that what was mentioned in Stephen Chow’s will was not necessarily the distribution of actual money, but might very well be things like company shares. However, even so, this is enough to show Xu Jiao’s importance in Stephen Chow’s heart.
As the youngest “star girl”, Xu Jiao became a child star at the age of 9 when she played the recurring role of Zhou Xiaodi, the son of Stephen Chow (Hong Kong translation: Zhou Xiaodi) in “Yangtze River No. 7,” partnered with Stephen Chow to play father and son.
During the initial casting process, Stephen Chow traveled all over China and interviewed many children, but he still did not find the most satisfying role. After that, Xu Jiao appeared in front of Stephen Chow, with a determined light in her eyes. However, the opposite role required careful consideration of Stephen Chow, and Xu Jiao passed many tests in a young person. age.
Later, when asked why he wanted to find a girl to play his son, Stephen Chow replied that it was because he thought Xu Jiao looked a lot like him when he was a child.
However, Xu Jiao was very reluctant to this invitation. After all, it was the age when girls love beauty, and the role of “Zhou Xiaodi” required her to shave her head and act like a tomboy. Fortunately, through her family’s persuasion, Xu Jiao obeyed the arrangement and embarked on the path of acting.
After the release of “Yangtze River No. 7”, the young Xu Jiao won the “Best New Actor Award” at the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards for her outstanding performance and was recognized by Stephen Chow as his goddaughter. Stephen Chow often publicly praised Xu Jiao as a good talent, and Xu Jiao signed an eight-year contract with Stephen Chow’s “Xinghui” company.
Although Xu Jiao can be said to have “reached the pinnacle since her debut”, her later fame was not as smooth as she imagined. When Xu Jiao grew up, she was diagnosed with a benign tumor and had to temporarily give up her acting career. In 2016, she moved to the United States to study at ArtCenter College of Design in California. During this period, on the one hand, she founded her own clothing brand, but on the other hand, she also missed a lot of scenarios. (Previous reports:When I was a child, I was invited to play the role of Xu Jiao, a boy who graduated from American university.）
Xu Jiao, 26, ended her six years of studying abroad in the United States in April last year. In September of the same year, Xu Jiao announced her return to Stephen Chow’s company and also started a new acting career. gave Stephen Chow seven pieces of “Yangtze River No. 7” A doll as a meeting gift.
At that time, Stephen Chow also attached a photo with Xu Jiao on IG, and humorously posted: “I have gone through ups and downs in my life and never flinched, but today I was so scared that the naughty boy Zhou Xiaodi in “Yangtze River No. 7” Actually become a beautiful girl, and the vast universe cannot be ignored! “
After 15 years, Xu Jiao and Stephen Chow collaborate once more, which shows the strong relationship between the two. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Stephen Chow wrote Xu Jiao in his will. Perhaps he has already regarded Xu Jiao, who “looks a lot like himself when he was a child,” as a parent.
