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 the rewards he deserved. In fact, Shaolin Soccer and the King of Comedy are in the same blood, telling the perseverance of little people in hardships.

After the success of Shaolin football, Stephen Chow also summed up the importance of packaging. Although I like the King of Comedy very much, I have to admit that the success of Shaolin football is huge.
