just want to be a supporter

It's an old movie, and I rewatched it on the movie channel by chance. A typical Stephen Chow-style comedy, with tears in laughter. I felt sad several times, and felt that he was very good at portraying such little people, and the lives of little people were really sad.
I remember that when this film came out, there was a lot of scolding, saying that Xingye Jianglang was exhausted and misappropriating money, etc. In fact, I think this is also a kind of unfairness to him. Sometimes I don't think I'm a fan of his in the strict sense, and I don't want to call him Xing Ye, I feel that the distance is very far, but I really like him. I started watching Stephen Chow when I was very young. At that time he was still a star boy. I also watched pirated Stephen Chow compilations. There are Mandarin and Cantonese. I was too young to understand. Can't understand. When I was a child, I liked to imitate. If I didn't understand the plot, I simply imitated Zhou Xingchi's way of speaking, as well as that kind of long-sounding laugh. My mother was not satisfied with me laughing like a girl many times.
I remember one time on Friday, it was very late at night. The movie channel broadcasted Stephen Chow’s Westward Journey. Only promised to watch the replay the next day, but there was no replay at all the next day. Later, as I got older, I understood the plot a little bit, I laughed and felt sad, but there were still a lot of things I felt awkward, such as why he was so paranoid in the legend of Jigong and insisted on saving the beggars and prostitutes, such as why he was fired at the end in God of Cooking When making a barbecued pork meal, I think of Karen Mok, who is ugly and terrible in the film. For example, in the big story Journey to the West, the samurai said that person looks like a dog. Maybe I don't understand it now. Those film critics may not understand when they write that this is a foreshadowing or a response. It's like I sometimes always wonder if many of the texts I learned in school have been over-interpreted, maybe the author didn't think so at all. many. But I know that he has made so many movies, and he can't make what he wants from the beginning. He will only make what he wants when he stops making grandstanding performances according to other people's books.
Many people say that Zhou Xingchi has changed, but if you really understand it, you are qualified to say that it has not changed. I don't know if he has changed, but there is really a lot more in his eyes, I can't imagine what he has been through these years, but his expression whether he is filming or being interviewed makes people think he may be tired . For so many years, Zhou Xingchi feels that Zhou Xingchi is alone, no matter whether there are people around him or not, he always feels lonely. There is a line in the movie, Zhou Xingchi said to Xiao Di: "There is a kind of test with a score of 60 and come back and see!" It was really sad at the time, not 100, not 90, as long as you see the passing score is enough, it is really sad isn't it?
When I was watching the movie, I was thinking, maybe Zhou Xingchi reflected his childhood. When I was young, I lacked a father’s love, my family was poor, and I couldn’t read well, but like all children, I fantasized about having friends like Qizai, just like I fantasized about being Yasuo Nohito and being able to have a robot cat when I was a child.
I don't know when, suddenly many people are Zhou Xingchi's fans, I just want to be his supporter all the time, silently follow him and not judge. Support is the greatest respect for those you love.
