What is the relationship between Stephen Chow and Ng Man Tat?

Of all Stephen Chow's partners, Ng Man Tat is definitely the most perfect one. As long as there are works by Stephen Chow and Ng Man Tat, they are all regarded as classics. Therefore, many fans also expect Stephen Chow's new work Kung Fu II to match Ng Man Tat perfectly. In fact, when filming the first 1 issue of Kung Fu, the supporting role of Xiao Pang should have been played by Ng Man Tat. Because Stephen Chow always changes things suddenly, the shooting time has not been fixed, but decided suddenly.

Even so, it didn't affect their relationship. After all, Stephen Chow and Ng Man Tat have known each other for many years, so their private relationship is still very good. No one dares to contradict Stephen Chow on the set, and Stephen Chow won't listen to anyone. Only Ng Man Tat can convince them, because once Stephen Chow gets into the state of work, it is a completely different person, and there will be strict requirements for an actor's movements and even expressions.

It was only when Stephen Chow got angry on the set that Ng Man Tat dared to see us. If he were anyone else, he would inevitably be scolded. This can prove that Stephen Chow and Ng Man Tat are not only cooperative relations, but also personal friends. Many people think that Stephen Chow has a bad reputation because he has a bad temper and offended many people on the set, but afterwards everyone spoke highly of Stephen Chow.

For example, director Jing Wong spoke highly of Stephen Chow's works in an interview, even though he had broken with Stephen Chow, only because Stephen Chow was a perfectionist. Otherwise, he wouldn't have so many supporters. Stephen Chow, who left Ng Man Tat, can still make a classic, but Ng Man Tat, who left Stephen Chow, can hardly control the whole movie by himself.
