Stephen Fung’s got that rare mix of swagger and talent that just doesn’t quit. He first showed up on the scene in “Forbidden Nights” back in 1990—yeah, that was a minute ago—and since then, he’s basically become a mainstay in Asian cinema. Not just hanging around, either. The guy’s been everywhere: acting, directing, you name it. He really started making waves when he wrote, directed, and starred in “Enter the Phoenix” in 2004. Jackie Chan’s production company was behind it, and—no surprise—it blew up fast. People loved it. Next up, “House of Fury” in 2005, which was his first time teaming up with Yuen Woo-ping (the action legend who worked on “The Matrix” and “Kill Bill,” so you know it’s serious). That film opened the Hong Kong International Film Festival and landed a spot at the Tokyo International Film Festival too, which is pretty wild. He didn’t just stick to acting or directing; he liked to mix it up, keeping things interesting. In 2009, he directed “JUMP,” a project cooked up by Stephen Chow for Sony Columbia Pictures Asia. Then came the “Tai Chi” series in 2012—“Tai Chi Zero” and “Tai Chi Hero.” Both did well, got awards, and even hit film fests like Venice and Toronto. Fast-forward to 2016, and you’ve got “The Adventurers,” with an international crew (Jean Reno and Andy Lau, anyone?) and a killer box office debut. On the TV side, he’s been all over “Into the Badlands” as executive producer, director, and fight director, and then he kicked off Netflix’s “Wu Assassins” in 2019. Basically, Stephen Fung’s been everywhere, doing everything, and he’s still at the top of his game.
The plot’s actually wild—think about it, you’ve got this crew at the University of Michigan, and yeah, they’re not just hitting the books. There’s drama, messy relationships, late-night pizza runs, and, of course, some questionable life choices. One minute, everyone’s stressing over finals, the next, someone’s roped into some ridiculous campus tradition that nobody fully understands. Friendships get tested, secrets spill, and there’s always that one person who takes everything way too seriously. Oh, and don’t forget the random acts of rebellion—because, obviously, rules are just gentle suggestions, right? Toss in a little bit of romance, a few heartbreaks, and a whole lot of caffeine, and you’re basically living the chaos of college life. By the end, you’re just hoping everyone makes it out with their sanity somewhat intact and maybe a diploma if they’re lucky.
