At the end of last year, Stephen Chow was sued by Yu Wenfeng to recover more than S $12 million in investment commission, which was the most high-profile lawsuit in Hong Kong. Yu Wenfeng lost the case and had to pay 3 million yuan in legal fees. The details shaken out in court filled many gaps in the past two people's scandals that were not known to outsiders.
Stephen Chow, who rarely appeared in court on weekdays, attracted a large number of people to attend the court, and was even surrounded when the court was adjourned. He also rarely stopped to joke with everyone and turned the scene into a fan club. (Left) A male movie fan showed the movie tickets of Stephen Chow's old films for his signature, saying that he liked watching his plays very much. The audience next to him booed and asked Stephen Chow to test him. He even cooperated to ask what the first line of the movie "Changjiang No.7" was. As a result, the movie fan couldn't answer it. Stephen Chow jokingly said, "Then take this signature away!" (right)
Compared with actresses such as Luo Huijuan, Athena Chu and Karen Mok, Yu Wenfeng is particularly different. She is not from the entertainment circle. She is Stephen Chow's girlfriend for 13 years. Her father is Yu Jingbo, the founder of Hong Kong Construction Group. When he came to Hong Kong in 1949, he had only a few tens of dollars. Later, he started his family from scratch, but his family was very low-key. He was one of the invisible rich families in Hong Kong. In 1998, it was revealed that he had at least S $6 million in property. He is responsible for the construction of the Tsing Ma Bridge and the new airport in Hong Kong, the central square in Guangzhou and the Diwang Building in Shenzhen.
Yu Wenfeng was born in a prestigious school and completed a degree in business administration in the United States. She studied property development and architecture from her father and brother, and even joined her brother Yu Shuquan's securities property company to take charge of risk assessment. She is smart and capable, and her investment is unique, which is quite fatherly. It is said that in her early years, she earned nearly S $4 million just by speculating in real estate, and her ability was not inferior to that of her brothers and sisters.
In 1997, Stephen Chow met Yu Wenfeng, a die-hard movie fan, at a party and used various interpersonal relationships to get close to him. He soon upgraded from a friend to a lover. It is said that in the past, Stephen Chow was badly managed and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Yu Wenfeng took the initiative as a consultant to help him restructure the company. He also used his family's resources to invest everywhere for him and buy land as a partner. He also successfully helped him become the largest shareholder of a listed company. Later, the company came back to life and his net worth increased significantly.
Stephen Chow was born in an ordinary family in Kowloon, Hong Kong. His parents divorced at the age of 7. After graduating from high school, he worked as an office assistant for two months. At the age of 18, he became a special TV actor of Li by chance. Later, he joined TVB, made dramas and hosted programs, and his talents were gradually recognized by the public.
Yu Wenfeng has been with Stephen Chow for 13 years, which is not only the longest period in his love history, but also helps him earn more than S $1 million. He doesn't even have a name. It is said that it is Zhou Mu who prevents them from getting married. The latter thinks that Yu Wenfeng is too powerful, and her son will suffer with her, but he likes his predecessor Karen Mok. Mother Zhou thinks so, it should be because Stephen Chow's sister also helped him in the company. After Yu Wenfeng came in, their style of doing things was not in tune, and the relationship became tense, which affected her impression. On several occasions, Yu Wenfeng didn't show up when Zhou's mother and daughter invited company employees to dinner, or Stephen Chow had dinner with his family.
Yu Wenfeng and Zhou's family didn't get along, and Stephen Chow didn't intervene, so the problem has been put aside. Stephen Chow refused to live together, but asked his girlfriend to stay at his house for the night several times a month, or occasionally went to his girlfriend's house, and Yu Wenfeng waited year after year, but he couldn't wait to get married, because he couldn't see their future, and finally chose to break up.
After that, the two soon found new lovers, and the excitement around Stephen Chow quickly resumed, while Yu Wenfeng's current husband, Andrew Liu, the second generation of Chong Hing Bank, began to associate. The latter had an affair with actresses such as Loretta Lee and Carina Lau, had a marriage and had three children, and divorced ten years ago. I didn't expect him to be the final destination of Yu Wenfeng.
After Yu Wenfeng broke up, he continued to work in the Central Company in Stephen Chow, and maintained a business partnership. It was not until 212 that he began to turn against each other, and soon he started a lawsuit of "long life".
At first, her monthly salary was less than S $4,. Later, she verbally agreed with Zhou at Christmas that she could get a 1% commission, but this point was overturned by Zhou's lawyer, saying that the so-called verbal agreement was just a love story between lovers, not a commercial agreement, and it was not legally binding.
According to the analysis of Hong Kong media, Yu Wenfeng, who is strong-willed, filed a complaint not only for money, but because she was not short of money, but because she was unwilling to pay for her 13 years of youth wrongly. It may also be that she had a big outbreak of resentment and was determined to retaliate, spreading the unbearable past in front of the public and forcing Stephen Chow, who has always been highly low-key, to court.
The development of the relationship between Stephen Chow and Yu Wenfeng has caused some people to make fun of it, thinking of a line in his movie "Domestic Lingling Paint": "I thought we could talk about feelings based on our friendship, but I didn't think ... it was still a deal."
this lawsuit has become the talk of many people after dinner. Some people think that Stephen Chow, who has always had no fewer enemies than his friends, has well demonstrated the truth that "a man's sweet words are not true". Some people appreciate Yu Wenfeng's style. When they are together, they do their best for their boyfriends. After separation, they do business for justice. Others think that both of them have reached the age of half a century. No matter who failed before, it is time to let go of their grievances and let each other go. After all, this is a lawsuit without winners.
Now that Yu Wenfeng is married, the story has been turned over, and the audience can leave.
