Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" established that he is also a good director with extraordinary skills. Strange to say, Zhou Xingchi's reputation after "Kung Fu" has not been as good as before. Even if "Journey to the West" follows the same violent scenes, "The King of New Comedy" retains the packaging of a dark fairy tale. It was not until after watching "Kung Fu" that I deeply felt that this Stephen Chow had already stood on the top of the Himalayas with "Kung Fu".
"Kung Fu" should be a true autobiographical film by Stephen Chow. In the play, there are endless quarrels and quarrels between the chartered public servant and the chartered wife, which reflects that Zhou Xingchi witnessed the discord between his parents in his childhood. On the Internet platform, there is a debate between the renter and the tenants. Before I contacted "Kung Fu", I thought that the renter was a villain. It wasn't until after watching "Kung Fu" that I felt that the renter was a cold-hearted person. In this way, the renter who regarded rent as the first would also be cold-hearted. She was worried about the safety of the three tenants. In the eyes of the world people are so greedy for life and fear of death, they will also run to the evil god of fire and cloud to seek justice. It can be said that the so-called good and evil of martial arts are not so clear-cut. There are good and evil in real people. When looking at people, you should not see them as righteous and evil, but because they have a heart of virtue and goodness. It is enough to see that the chartered public servant and the chartered wife have far more spiritual core than any other role in "Kung Fu".
"Kung Fu" expresses Stephen Chow's values. The lines between him and Lin Zicong made people sigh after reading it. The star played by Stephen Chow has always been pretending to be bad, he just wants to achieve the ideal success in the world. He took in the pig teammate Lin Zicong, showing the only kindness in his heart. When he bullied the dumb girl played by Huang Shengyi, he showed his side of the tiger. The weak will only bully those who are weaker than him, which is also an inevitable scene of human nature. The dumb girl was dressed in white and had long hair fluttering. Such a peaceful appearance awakened the compassion in Xing's heart.
The life-and-death struggle with the evil god of fire cloud symbolizes Zhou Xingchi's past glory beyond Hong Kong movies, and he has achieved a new milestone in the king of Chinese film comedy. In the play, the star is not framed by the evil god of fire cloud, and he will not be constrained by it, because the star standing at the highest point wins the evil god of fire cloud to bow his head as a god. And none of Stephen Chow's films are mediocre, and he has become the irreplaceable king of comedy.
This is my interpretation of "Kung Fu".
