      Despite many viewers in china mention that Stephen Chow is a disaster comedy director. Compared to other comedy directors, Stephen Chow is a better detail-oriented, plot is meaningful director.

      In Shaolin Soccer, there are so many hidden social ideas to show Stephen Chow attitude. The first plot is that the Shaolin brothers in the beginning of the film and they live in HongKong are very tight which pick up garbage, wash dishes and so on. Comparing those rich people who work in the office and wear great appearance and rich suit, Chinese kung fu has no meaning in modern society. You cannot earn any money even they are Kung Fu master. According to the Christopher Deacy,...

      This is a story of a small person who confronts the cruelty of reality and realizes his dream

      Although ideals are fragile and vulnerable to reality, we must always embrace ideals, because ideals are like flames that can be rekindled when they are extinguished.

      In the movie, the first time King Kong Foot meets Ah Mei, I think it is the finishing touch of the whole film. All the little people have a naive and naive self in their hearts. Many people joined the dance party and were finally stopped by the boss. The ideal is vulnerable to reality. Everyone has their own work...

      relatively successful

      Shaolin Soccer is a work launched by Stephen Chow after the King of Comedy. In an interview with "Movie Weekly", Stephen Chow said solemnly, "The King of Comedy was filmed because of emotional frustration, and the filming of Shaolin Football was because of career failure." But he did not say why. According to people close to Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi was under great pressure while filming Shaolin football, and his temper was not very good, but the great success of Shaolin football gave him...

      Shaolin Soccer

      The feature of Shaolin Football is not about football, but more about Kung Fu. As the saying goes, Kung Fu comes out of Shaolin. This movie Stephen Chow is good at making abstract forms of expression concrete. Using his own understanding to express it with special effects, the audience can see the emotional state of the actor at a glance. . In the film, Zhao Wei's performance of Tai Chi shows Tai Chi's charm of using softness to overcome rigidity. The power of human beings is infinite, and...

      dreams and confidence

      The reason I read this book and this movie is relatively simple: I am in the stage of crazy liking Zhao Wei, and I am willing to watch her movies (as long as they are the subject matter and genre that I can accept). In fact, Zhao Wei didn't have a lot of roles in this movie, so I didn't plan to watch it at first. However, I later saw on Weibo that the film had a director's version, and the blogger said that watching the director's version can feel Stephen Chow's talent. Who...

      Why is the score so low? Such a plot, such a line, such a performance. Even if the action scenes are a bit ridiculous, it's just an exaggerated and funny performance. Can you still see this kind of movie...

      You wake up. Earth is dangerous, go back to Mars. Stephen Chow's films reminded me of some discussions about cartoonist Zhe Zhi that I watched recently. In his films, we can always see the deconstruction and re-creation of most other film and television works. Stephen Chow seems to like it very much. Sometimes the taste is extremely complicated. , the zombie dance is now a classic, the only time he made an extension of his dream, the composer and dancer also looked like the spring and the snow,...

      9.0/10 points. 2018.01.27, Rewatch, 113-minute Blu-ray version. Great entertainment. I found that this should be the first time that Zhou Xingxing has vigorously introduced various special effects. In the past, it was only a small amount, and he used more performances and lines to win. . . "Shaolin Soccer" should be regarded as a prequel to "Kung Fu". It can be seen that all kinds of Kung Fu and comedy elements have been re-sublimated in "Kung Fu". ....

    Actor selection

    There is football in the story of the film, so the football match is naturally indispensable. According to the rules of modern football, both sides must have 11 players on the field. In order to select other "players", the film company extensively recruited actors to join the "team" in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai in 2000, with more than 7,000 candidates. Mo Meilin from Hong Kong, China is a gymnast and has a certain level of...

    Shooting process

    In addition to recruiting a large number of non-professional actors, the film also used a large number of extras. The last big scene was the decisive battle between "Shaolin Soccer" and "Devil Team". This 20-minute scene was filmed for a whole month. The shooting location was Zhuhai Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 spectators. If you want to hire extras to fill these more than 40,000 seats, the cost of extras alone is...

    Evaluation action

    "Shaolin Soccer" is a "sports + kung fu" type of movie. This theme has a precedent for " The Champions " in Hong Kong film circles, but Stephen Chow has to use a lot of computer special effects in the film. He doesn't want a few simple ones. Martial arts moves appear on the football field, but to turn ordinary football players into peerless masters, such as iron head skills, whirlwind ground legs, golden bell iron jerseys, ghost...
