From "Shaolin Soccer" to "Kung Fu" to the just-released "Changjiang No. 7", Stephen Chow, who was full of gray hair, completed his journey from an actor to a director at the speed of grinding one atypical Hong Kong film in about three years. "Trilogy" turned around, "Chow Xingchi's work" is not only a line of text on the screen, but also casts a prominent sign of "post-1997" Hong Kong movies.
However, this sign is rotten, and it is very sincere.
Looking back on Stephen Chow's 20 years of filming, from 1988 to 1992, Stephen Chow starred in "The Trial of the Dead", "Happy Family", "Lu Ding Ji", "Wu Zhuang Yuan Su Qi'er" and "Lu Ding Ji 2 Shenlong Sect" in one fell swoop The package rounded up the top five in Hong Kong's annual box office that year. The star boy who begged the director to let Mei Chaofeng give himself more palms and then fell to the ground on the set of TVB's classic version of "The Condor" finally became "Variety Star King", and Officially received the honorary title of all parties - "Star Lord". In 1999, the "King of Comedy" Xing Ye roared at the sea: "Work hard! Struggle!" Although Stanislavsky's "On the Cultivation of Actors" was under his arm, the director of the film, Li Lichi, could no longer afford to. Controlling such an actor, in other words, Zhou Xingchi gradually reduced Li Lichi to the executive director, so later, Li Lichi couldn't resist Zhou Xingchi's desire to control and had to wave his hand away - and before Li Lichi broke, there were Zhou Xingchi's mentors Li Xiuxian, Wang Jing, who has cooperated the most; Wu Mengda, Sammo Hung, etc., who broke up after Li Lichi, not to mention those star girls who are usually classified as scandalous titles...
Zhou Xingchi, who is not confused, has an early birth, which shows that he thinks too much and becomes a serious addiction. , he wanted to be a director.
Zhou Xingchi has many complexes, and Zhou Xingchi is also a master of deconstruction---of course it was named by someone else. "Shaolin Soccer" is owned by Bruce Lee, aspiring young people punish evil and promote good; "Kung Fu" is an organic collage of the beloved Cantonese film from Kowloon Walled City to Tathagata's Palm, and the thief succeeds. In the short 89-minute sci-fi film "Yangtze River No. 7", he took the trouble to present them one by one and never tire of it. His experience of growing up without a father in a divorced family made up for his son Xiao Di, who disguised himself as a man in the film, and showed exaggerated warmth in the game of beating cockroach Xiaoqiang; and his love for Spielberg ET turned into a An alien dog called "Qi Zai" looks more like a chicken. The CG stunt level seems to be stuck in the ET era; in order to pay tribute to Chaplin, Zhang Yuqi, the teacher of the migrant worker Zhou Tie Pianhui, tried to soak in short cheongsam, the only one. At the time of the classic star-style "haha" laughter, after the sudden stop, he desperately asked, "Recently I found that I am so handsome, don't you think?"; There is also a miniature model of the child's image in "Kung Fu", and even Xiao Di has performed a "Kung Fu" in which A Xing flies into the sky and sees an eagle, and sends out a Tathagata's palm - "Yangtze River No. 7", which is described as a migrant worker in one sentence. Son Yu Xian Ji + ET Alien Dog Edition + Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical trivial pediatrics, the background is the current real estate town, Ningbo, where there are many construction sites - Zhou Xingchi's hometown.
Zhou Xingchi's performance should be said to be quite touching. It is rare for him, who is already a billionaire, to show an unshaven, black, thin and prematurely aging migrant worker father so sincere, to sew broken shoes for his son so clumsily, to push a cart on a construction site and smash a building. Skilled... However, as a director, his performance cannot restore the "badness" of the film---not to mention that in order to be the director, he is just a big adult supporting role in the children's film. I thought that whether the realism is unbelievable or the sci-fi is not strong enough is not the key to commenting on the film. Even Stephen Chow is no longer so funny but makes people cry too tired. It doesn't matter. "In the whirlpool of constant plagiarism and self-plagiarism, then either you are not aware of it, or you are too self-inflated.
Chow Xingchi, are you a director now? Is it not? Are you really?
Thanks! Just research it.
