Stephen Chow: Given 10 Days by Tiffany Chen to Clarify Article Against China Star Chairman; Criticized for Lack of Ethics and Negative Behavior

Stephen Chow is unfazed by threats of legal action that the Cheung family plans to slap him with over an alleged defamatory article posted by one of Chow's fans.

Golfing star Tiffany Chen, wife of China Star Entertainment chairman Charles Heung, who is at the center of the controversy, threatened to sue Chow if he failed to issue a clarifiation on the damaging article that branded her husband as a member of the notorious Hong Kong triad crime ring.

Chow, who is in the thick of pre-production for his upcoming flick "Mermaid", has denied any links to the defamatory article and said he wished to call the Cheungs to make an apology. Chen, however, remains convinced that Chow was behind the publication of the article.

The issue stemmed from a 50,000-word article written by a self-confessed fan of Chow, which revealed many little-known details about the actor-producer's personal life and career. It is not clear exactly when and where the article first came out, but Yahoo Entertainment said it was recently re-published in an online platform called "Art Western District", which the Cheungs had read and fueled their anger.

In part, the article claimed that between 1993 and 1996, Chow had tried to apply for Canadian citizenship but was denied because he was then working with the entertainment outfit owned by Charles Heung, who allegedly had connections to the triad.

Chen debunked the article's allegations, saying that her husband has been chairman of the publicly listed China Star Entertainment Ltd. since 1997, and has been able to move in and out of mainland China --a freedom of mobility that would have been impossible if he was part of the triad because China did not tolerate affiliations with crime groups.

Chen said she found it hard to believe that Chow had nothing to do with the article as it contained photos of the actor-producer that were not previously seen elsewhere on media, and which only someone privy to his life and activities could have gained access to.

Chen's tirades against Chow did not stop at threatening the latter with legal action. She has gone on to reveal "secrets" that, at worst, discredit the actor-turned-filmmaker.

For instance, Chen said Chow once required actress Cecilia Cheung to shave her head for an upcoming movie, and when the actress refused, threatened to sue her for millions of dollars, despite having given the actress a downpayment of only HK$5,000 for her work.

Other celebrities and movie workers have chimed in their support for the Cheungs in their fight against Chow.

Singer-actor Andy Lau said the Cheungs were the best people to work for, citing his own experience working with the couple for the most part of his successful career.

Hong Kong director Wong Jing, for his part, said Chow was a tyrant, citing an incident when a film producer had to kneel before Chow to beg him to attend the promotional activities for a movie that they worked on together.

Daniel Lam also branded Chow as "greedy" after they ended up in court over copyright issues on the movie 'Shaolin Soccer', adding that it was impossible to have a good business partnership with the actor-filmmaker.

Recently, Stephen Chow was blasted for having problems with his character. Nick Cheung, who had worked with Stephen Chow in the movie The Tricky Master, said: “He is a very talented actor, but I don’t know much about his character. In fact, we very rarely interact with each other. I think friends should have a deep understanding of each other, and actually I’m not very familiar/close with him.”

Ren Dahua aka <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Yam" target="_blank" sl-processed="1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(187, 0, 51); text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Simon Yam: Supports Mrs. Heung as a righteous person and a good person<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Yam" target="_blank" sl-processed="1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(187, 0, 51); text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">
Simon Yam says: “I’m not close to Mr. Chow, nor have we worked together before, so I can’t comment too much, but what I can say is that Mrs. Heung is a very righteous person. I often say friends are the most important, and someone with a lot of friends definitely can’t be a bad person, so Mrs. Heung is definitely a good person.” He also expressed that he has previously heard things about Stephen Chow from the mouth of Wu Mengda aka <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ng_Man-tat" target="_blank" sl-processed="1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(187, 0, 51); text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Ng Man-tat, but he feels it was in the past and thus doesn’t won’t say too much about it.

Liu Qingyun aka <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Lau" target="_blank" sl-processed="1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(187, 0, 51); text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Sean Lau: Strongly supports Charles Heung and wife as good people<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Lau" target="_blank" sl-processed="1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(187, 0, 51); text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">
Sean Lau attended an event and was asked for his view on the dispute between Stephen Chow and Charles Heung’s wife Tiffany Chen. Sean Lau indicated that he had worked with Stephen Chow in television before many years ago, but has not worked together on a movie, so he doesn’t know him very well. However, when discussing Charles Heung and his wife, he said strongly, “Heung is a good boss, is very polite with everyone, and after so many years at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Star_Entertainment_Group" target="_blank" sl-processed="1" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(187, 0, 51); text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">China Star, they have treated my wife and I very well.”

“someone with a lot of friends definitely can’t be a bad person”?????? This I’m not going to agree with blindly.

慈悲生禍患 [网易福建省福州市网友]:
Grandpa Chow is talented and skilled, and should be given my support.

zeiniubipan [网易安哥拉网友]:
I don’t care about Stephen Chow’s personal character, but I’ve watched every single one of his movies tens of times each. His personal character being good or bad is none of my damn business, but his movies are definitely the best. No matter who vilifies Stephen Chow, I will still adore his movies. How he behaves, to be honest, is none of our damn business. Moreover, the gifted and the genius are always different from others [normal people].

网易广东省广州市网友 ip:121.33.*.*
Those three major movie stars said they aren’t close, which is just being honest. They said you, Mrs. Heung, is a good person, but they didn’t say Stephen Chow is bad!

网易广东省广州市海珠区手机网友 ip:218.20.*.* (responding to above)
Once you know who Charles Heung is, you’ll understand why they are all no longer close with Stephen Chow.

网易江苏省常熟市手机网友 ip:121.239.*.*
Strongly support Grandpa Chow as a good person. Grandpa Chow has an eccentric personality, which is why he isn’t likable, and these people are really just hitting a person who is already down!

karen2410 [网易江西省手机网友]:
What do I care if his character is good or bad. It’s not like I interact with him. I just like his films…

zeiniubipan [网易安哥拉网友]:
Grandpa Chow is my absolute favorite entertainment celebrity, not just one of them.

网易广东省东莞市网友(113.105.*.*):
Without a doubt, Stephen Chow’s character is the lousiest among those in the entertainment circles. He’s arrogant, bullies the weaker stars, always makes himself the center of everything, treating others like dogs. That’s why it’s said: Those outside of the industry look at one’s work, while those inside the industry look at one’s character. From these deeds, it can be seen that Stephen Chow’s character is so rotten that it can’t be any more rotten. A woman stayed by his side for years but in the end, instead of marrying her, he even wanted to go to court against her.

网易四川省成都市网友 ip:124.161.*.* (responding to above)
You don’t know what character is! Even married people get divorced, that’s not something to be dragged into this. I really understand Grandpa Chow, he simply doesn’t attach importance to fake interpersonal relationships like friends. His puts his mind only on creating the world in his heart/mind! You and Stephen Chow are people from different worlds, so you can’t understand him.
