Goodbye, nonsensical Stephen Chow

Zhou Xingchi was once known as the "King of Nonsense", and this title is well-deserved. It was the era of "Lu Ding Ji" as him and Wang Jing; it was the era of "Domestic Lingling Paint" with him and Li Lichi; it was as him and Liu Zhenwei. The era of "Journey to the West". "Shaolin Soccer" is a watershed in the style of Stephen Chow's films. Although it is also funny, the style is completely different. The following "Kung Fu" and this "Yangtze River No. 7" have one thing in common is that a lot of special effects have been added to the film, and the plots are all simple, too mythical, too idealistic, all of which are acceptable. What disappoints me the most is that I can't seem to find the shadow of Zhou Xingchi's senseless back then.
Before the release of "Changjiang No. 7", Zhou seemed to have said that it was a children's film. If it looks like this, "Changjiang No. 7" is still a successful film, at least its box office must be profitable. I think that day I I sat in the first row to watch it, and it can be seen that there are many people watching. In the film, the real protagonist becomes Xu Jiao who plays his son, and Zhou is more like a supporting role. The father repeatedly taught his son, "Although we are poor, we can't lie or beat people; it's not our thing, We can't take it; we must study hard and grow up to be useful to society." This fits perfectly in the mold of a children's film. During watching the movie, it is true that I laughed and cried, but after laughing, I forgot. There are no classic lines to talk about after dinner. I cried because the movie was too emotional, and I was a Endure and endure, and finally can not endure. "Changjiang No. 7" is full of scenes from Stephen Chow's previous movies, such as "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu". The episode with the change of the cute Qizai's expression reminds me of "The King of Comedy". What is this indicating? Could it be that Zhou Xing is running out of luck? Where did that nonsense Zhou Xingchi go? I have to say, I prefer his previous style of films, although he was unavoidably exaggerated at that time, but now that he is older, his hair is gray, and he is taking a steady route, the routines of previous films are rare to see.
"Yangtze River No. 7" is a masterpiece that Zhou Xingchi has been silent for three years. He may have really put a lot of effort into this, but I really can't find the feeling of laughing and laughing like I used to watch his films.
