The article is
a bit longer, and the friendly reminder points first: (1) We can never wake up some people who pretend to be grandchildren
(2) Is Zhou Xingchi an artist or a craftsman?
(3) Who made Zhou Xingchi?
(4) Why does "Mermaid" look good and sell well? Where are the disadvantages?


There are only two kinds of movies in the world, one is with Stephen Chow, and the other is without Stephen Chow.
So in fact, there are only two groups in the audience, those who eat Stephen Chow's set, and those who don't eat Stephen Chow's set.
At the time of writing this article, in less than 10 days, the box office has crossed the 2.1 billion mark, and there is no need for a so-called box office miracle with a face-to-face film review.
If you don't eat Zhou Xingchi's set of things, I won't talk to you too much.
This article is first written for those who have eaten Zhou Xingchi's set, but gradually do not eat it.
We can never wake up some people who pretend to be grandsons.
1
This is a bunch of guys who pretend to be grandsons from beginning to end, but don’t know it.
What I want to say, it must be the Zhou Xingchi you have loved, but the Zhou Xingchi you wholeheartedly want. Not the one Stephen Chow wants to be Zhou Xingchi, sorry, you have a wrong love, go slowly, don't give it away!
All the names of the masters and the positions of the altars were given by those who poured dirty water back then, crying and crying. The god you created, you can't afford it anymore, and you want to tear him down again, push it off the altar, and sing an elegy for the end of the master.
It’s just that Zhou Xingchi has never experienced this love from beginning to end. The pen in his hand became a dagger, and he threw it at Zhou Xingchi. Should Stephen Chow feel ashamed? Shouldn’t it be you critics and theorists who are humiliating and chattering about new words? Whether it’s creating gods or dismantling gods, and consuming attention, aren’t you all?
It is always easy to make a movie, but it is not easy to make a movie in three years.


Fortunately, Zhou Xingchi doesn't care whether you like it or play it. He has been doing the subtraction he wants without moving. He is still an old naughty heart. He is using movies to express his compassion, tolerance and hope for the world.
You must say, damn, what about Zhou Xingchi, who was angry and ridiculed and disgusted with everything back then? The guy who laughed and cursed on the screen, was crazy, brilliant, arrogant, spoof, pitiful, self-pity, narcissistic, self-sufficient, self-deceiving, self-righteous is gone...
where did he go?
Depend on! Your grandson is transformed into a grandfather, a blunt preacher and a preacher, and an innocent hypocrite pretending to be in the temple. Why don't you tell the story of the little guy, what do you talk about the environmental protection of the overbearing president? However, we can see that you are still the same dog back then! You're still pissing, right...you must see it this way.
Yes, it is the immutable ridicule, subversive, and disgusting Zhou Xingchi of the expectation that you expect. He is like a dream. Now that this dream is getting older, Zhou Xingchi has really become like a grandfather, simple and innocent, telling a little bit of good principles.
But, this is actually that you stay in that cynical state, without change, but you can't accept Zhou Xingchi's change and unchanged!
This generation of fans turned black, along with the obsession with Zhou Xingchi when he was young and frivolous, to today we have matured into accidents and become the person that we hate, still nostalgic for the indelible age that Zhou Xingchi left for you. That's it. You are just that, how tolerant, profound, and calm on the surface, there is still a glass heart that refuses to be kitsch under your coat, isn't it?
What the hell is Zhou Xingchi?
Stephen Chow used "Kung Fu", "Yangtze River No. 7", "Journey to the West" and "Mermaid" to tell us that he is old, and said goodbye to Stephen Chow in the era of "The Deer and the Ding", "The Great Westward Journey" and "Fighting Back to School". And you just don't want to believe, and don't want to accept the reality that this dream has been shattered, so you yelled and became angry. Why isn't it funny at all, so the old part is taken out to deceive people? You feel embarrassed, aggrieved and angry...
But what is this about Zhou Xingchi?
Zhou Xingchi is Zhou Xingchi after all, his paranoia will not change, he knows what he wants. He never wanted to rely on high art. He knew what he was good at and what he needed to express. He had that self-knowledge.
We always only see a gray-haired, thin, tired, and humble old man. He is actually not lost. Many times, we are the person in the movie, appearing and disappearing in a corner of our life. And he walks between actors and characters. Now he is thinking about how he should face his expectant people almost every day. This process represents a professional and even harsh creative attitude. , This is a painful process.



Let's take a look at how Zhou Xingchi thinks about his work:
My mother taught me from childhood: to be a useful person and to work hard. I also have such lines in "Yangtze River No. 7". There are warm things in the movie, which I think is very good. In life, fairy tales are also my favorite. I think what I shoot are all fairy tales, and "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu" also have fairy tales.
What about the inspiration for "The Mermaid"? I have been living next to the sea since I was a child. I looked at the sea every day and thought: What is in the sea? Scared and curious. I'm very nervous when I swim in the sea. I wonder what is there under the water? For me, water is very mysterious, and I was fascinated by this story at that time.
For me, a script, without feeling, just keep it in my heart. I still have many stories in my heart. When I really got the feeling that I wanted to do "Mermaid", I started writing the script about six years ago, four or five years ago. The whole creation is a smooth process.
This time is different from the original. There are environmental protection concepts, and there are contradictions between the earth’s people and other species. I believe that there are mermaids. During the evolution of mankind, some apes evolved from water. Perhaps they have evolved fish tails after they have been in water for a long time. I believe, or to be correct, I hope this is true! I hope that many weird and mysterious things are true.
I also believe that the world is beautiful, this is not to comfort anyone, this is a fact. The world is complicated and there are everything, but in the end it is still moving in a better direction. I hope that the audience will feel happy after watching my movie, the future is bright, the future is full of expectations, and the earth is our invincible home.
Some people say that nonsense is still nonsense, but with the environmental protection theme on the tall, it becomes stiff and embarrassing. Wulitou culture enters the palace of the ivory tower. It can be said that this is an era of nonsensical comedy, or this is an era of nonsensical tragedy. He is repeating the tragedy, and everyone thinks it is a comedy, nothing more. In my eyes, he is a little glimmer on the most desperate road in this tragic era.

Is Stephen Chow an artist or a craftsman?
2
A group of grandchildren portrayed Zhou Xingchi as an artist, and then they spit. This in itself is actually a hooligan.
But why, a mere "Mermaid", which is not too well-produced, will sell for 2.1 billion in 9 days, breaking countless film history records?


Zhou Xingchi is such a low-level and grass-rooted dick, why is it so popular among intellectuals?
In fact, in my opinion, he is a real film craftsman. There are a few works that look like works of art. However, in the Chinese film industry, Stephen Chow does not admit that he is an artist. How many dare to call himself an artist?
This is an era in which craftsmen have been working for a long time, and people mistakenly think they are artists.
1 The
work is the character

Zhou Xingchi is a model of bad cooperation in the eyes of colleagues, because good cooperation will sacrifice quality!
In his eyes, works are character!
Because a good craftsman believes that character is more important than technology, and he is also a technical control, he is the only Chinese filmmaker whose technical requirements can be comparable to that of Ang Lee, a master trained in the Hollywood film industry.
Many people say that the special effects of "Mermaid" are scumbags. Good special effects make you feel that there are no special effects. You don't think that the octopus is fake. You don't think that the mermaid's tail is fake. There are no visual spectacles at this time.
Compared to other filmmakers, it's not that Stephen Chow did so well, but that his competitors did too badly, okay!
2
Humility
to the audience Humility to the audience is the biggest advantage of Stephen Chow. He has said countless times that awards and box office are not that important. The important thing is that the audience likes it!
But someone else said, "The Mermaid" doesn't like labor and management, it's ugly!
However, more than 50 million viewers flooded into the movie theater. Among them, more than 60% of the female audiences laughed and cried, cried and cried and laughed. Isn't this true?
Can you write a film review, do you represent the audience?
Stephen Chow has a heart that serves the audience. This heart is the altruism that a real craftsman has, because altruism makes life and works shine. He is such a smart person, how can he pretend to be stupid about the user experience?
Unlike many directors who do not clearly distinguish between artistic creation and entertainment services, he confuses artists and craftsmen, and treats hypocrisy and so-called feelings as food. He wants to carry private goods and sell more tickets. This is called pretending to be a grandson. In fact, the real big feeling is to maximize altruism to make the audience feel sad, right? Is personal feelings so important?
3
Unfilial piety cannot become first-class
There is a very nonsense but very important one in the craftsmanship spirit: unfilial piety cannot become first-class.
Needless to say, Zhou Xingchi is world-famous for his filial piety to his parents, especially his mother, no matter how much he can tell.
The reason why an unfilial person cannot become a master craftsman is that he will not have true low-level kindness in his heart.
4
Business is human nature good angels
Stephen Chow is a very solid businessman. He abides by business rules, and I especially admire him as a businessman who is willing to bet and lose, and who is willing to always believe in the contract.
He cares about money, but he will never get commercial benefits through improper means. He cares about feathers more than anyone else. He is strong because he is professional, and he is a super IP with infinite value. Today's "Mermaid" can prove that the combination of resources that are not valuable in the eyes of others is the real value in his hands. This is an indisputable fact.
5
Combat cruelty and injustice with warmth and simplicity
Many people say that Zhou Xingchi’s works are too simple, too light, too ridiculous, and have no deep side. In fact, in an interview, he told reporters, you know, who doesn't know these embarrassing things?
He is the kind of person who faces the stupidity, greed, rudeness, and even despicability that both you and me have. He can point out keenly and ruthlessly, and forgive these people who are always careless about things of real value.
He is also the kind of person who can tolerate all the defects in all of us, deplore all the misfortunes they have suffered, and will never give up the hope and courage to improve ourselves and the lives of our surroundings even in the cruelest moments.
He stubbornly spent the rest of his life and patiently used his works to look forward to enlightening people with the warm light of kindness, which is the real utopia in this dark world.
This is Zhou Xingchi's most valuable aspect of our time.


Who made Zhou Xingchi?
3

One
Charlie Chaplin


Many people use Kubrick, Kurosawa Akira, Kitano Takeshi, Spielberg, Buster Keaton, Bergman, Li Ang and other masters to compare Stephen Chow, but it is obvious that Stephen Chow did not buy this account himself.
Stephen Chow wants to be Charlie Chaplin the most.
We can find the essence of Chaplin in all the later works. Little characters, fairy tales, tears in laughter, regressors of the times, sadness of comedy... everything you can feel is the taste of Chaplin.
However, in life, they are the same rise and bottom, but after becoming famous, they are all huge dictators, and they are unavoidable in the later period with a serious and sad temperament.
In Chaplin's "Stage Career", an old comedian always has a dream. He has been performing on stage for a long time and looked down the stage, only to find that it is empty and there is no one.
That is the internal portrayal of Chaplin. The loneliness and sadness of comedians are beyond words. They are cute and happy all their lives, but he is truly alienated from the audience, full of loneliness and fear.
The bunch of masters mentioned above are all epoch-making figures in the eyes of professional filmmakers, and they all have a high status in the arena. But in the eyes of the public, the understanding interface of these masters is not friendly enough, but Charlie Chaplin is eternal, transcending race and culture, so if you are a passerby, you may just be a little bit more like Chaplin to the above masters. deep impression.
Therefore, in the international film world, Stephen Chow’s achievements cannot compete with Li Ang at all, and are not even as good as Jiang Wen and Jia Zhangke. However, in 50 or 100 years, Stephen Chow’s status will become higher and higher, and the level of this status is completely high. It's not because of Zhou Xingchi's early movies, but the latter kind of works that people are not used to watching. The plot is too simple and transcends language, race and culture.
If you don’t believe it, let’s look back.
Zhou Xingchi’s embarrassment today is that he is in the shadow of a deep comedy, or that his achievements in the comedy part are too high. In any case, it is extremely difficult for him to make a feature film that conforms to the conventional logical development.
Therefore, many of his films cannot be understood with the logic of drama. This is also the source of many so-called "unreasonable" critics of the "Mermaid" plot.

2
Bruce Lee's


"Kung Fu" is really just the credit of Stephen Chow alone? Obviously not!
The fertile soil of Hong Kong's martial arts movies, coupled with Stephen Chow being a super fan of Bruce Lee, he has received exceptionally full nourishment from these two nourishment banks. That's why "Kung Fu" is so fascinating to watch. It is equivalent to Zhou Xingchi's overall harvest of the theme of Kung Fu under the premise of modern film industry and digital technology.
Obviously, "Yangtze River No. 7" and "Mermaid" these two modern science fiction dramas, because of the lack of the nourishment library itself, and Stephen Chow's depth and love of these two themes are not deep enough, so the nourishment is not full enough. And coordination. At least the balance between the positive harmonic rhythms is not good enough, and "Kung Fu" is a positive harmonic transition, the rhythm is relaxed, and there is no one in the world. It can be described as a work of extraordinary craftsmanship.
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is a rich source of nutrients for "A Great Westward Journey" and the entire Chinese Zhiguai novels, as well as an ample supply of nourishment such as Buddhist thoughts. It will not make "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" feel like the rhythm of "Mermaid" is out of control. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" underinvestment, I can personally feel that he is actually very strenuous.
Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do not only created an infinite martial arts realm with human limited thinking, but also unintentionally irrigated the inner world of a generation of comedy king Zhou Xingchi.
Chow Xingchi infused Bruce Lee's methodology of "taking the inability as the law, and the infinity as the finite" into his work methodology. Simply put: if there is no method as a method, there is no fixed method. It changes according to changes in the situation, and when there is no limit. To be restricted means that there is no prescribed restriction. Always be surprised! Master Xing never does superficial imitation, but takes infinity as his inner self-demand for limited freedom.
Bruce Lee, a master who has gotten an apprentice like Zhou Xingchi, what can his husband ask for?
In addition, by the way, I would like to mention that the irrigation of Chow Xingchi by the Hong Kong market culture is really deep in the bones. Almost all of the works reveal the strange wisdom of the Star Master that he obtained from the market, the pig cage walled city in "Kung Fu", the layout of the demolished house in "Yangtze River No. 7", "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons" The fishing village in the village, the cabin of "The Mermaid"... are
actually the childhood market in his memory. The most complicated, most unbearable and beautiful things in all human beings are in his vision. A pot of beautiful "Buddha jumps over the wall".
He constantly seeks to change and seek novelty among the numerous movie elements and styles, and creates a unique "Zhou Xingchi type" movie. It is a synthesis of the art of "Buddha Jumping over the Wall" and "Je Kun Do" art.
Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is an extremely troublesome hodgepodge of cooking, but it is not a simple hodgepodge, but he is not a "fat cook" who makes a hodgepodge soup with a greasy belly, nor is he a film creator who stacks elements and is known as a tribute. When you do something, you have to think about what no one else has done.
Zhou Xingchi is obsessed with drifting between various styles. He enjoys the joy of concentration in the process of cooking every "raw material" detail. He chooses ingredients and cooks carefully, every time he makes the taste of Buddha jumping over the wall. Always unique and all-encompassing, the charm of change is undoubtedly manifested in the process of his film forging.
The spirit of love and dreams, perseverance and hard work, positivity, and perseverance in Stephen Chow’s movies that permeate the entire human being is the "soup and rice wine" in the Buddha Jumping the Wall. The ingredients can always be readily available, but the "soup and rice wine" Always the same.

Three
Mei Lanfang


strange, Stephen Chow Mei Lanfang and there is a relationship between hair ah. The legendary three major performance systems of world drama: Stanislavsky (Soviet dramatist), Brecht (German dramatist), and three performance systems represented by Mei Lanfang.
In "The King of Comedy", "The Self-cultivation of Actors" held by Stephen Chow is Stanislavsky's masterpiece. However, in fact, this Sky and the Star Lord have nothing to do with each other!
Because the essence of the Si Shi system is to reflect the "nature" of people: it requires actors not to appear to exist on the stage, but to exist on the stage, not in performance, but in life.
Obviously, Stephen Chow's pretentious and slightly exaggerated performance did not fail to inherit the mantle of this Ski.
However, what is Mei Lanfang's performance system?
The first is to emphasize the expressive method of freehand brushwork. The freehand method is essentially a method of making up. The main purpose is to break through the limitations of time and space, use virtual action and virtual setting to create an art world that is far from actual life. I won't say much about this, Zhou Xingchi is indeed inferior in this regard. Of course, the various spoofs in "Mermaid" are still so arrogant and stubborn.
The second is the stylized performance method. To put it bluntly, it’s almost the same every time, but many people just like this kind of repetition, repetition, and repetition...The essence of this is that it is not an imitative way of drama art, but a symbolic way of expression. . In other words, that's what it means. You only need to understand that meaning.
The third is to focus on actors. Mei Lanfang’s Peking Opera art emphasizes that “the drama goes with people, and the scene moves with people”. The status of actors is very important. This is the same in "The Mermaid" and all previous works of Stephen Chow. Every character is flesh and blood, and even everyone is Stephen Chow. For a long time, Stephen Chow’s performance has absolutely surpassed the movie itself, because Stephen Chow’s movie has been repeating the same or similar sections, but every time his performance is unforgettable, it can arouse the resonance of every citizen in the market. . So some people scolded, what is this, the 93-minute emoji package sold for 2 billion.
The subtlety of Mei Lanfang's system lies in the unusual and diverse role experience under common and familiar segments. That is to say, audiences are very familiar with the plot and the background of the characters. What they expect is not the story but the interpretation process of the actors. Such performance is the highest state of performing arts. In other words, everyone knows that this is a dream, but they are very dedicated to share this dream with this dream maker.
This is the reason why Zhou Xingchi has been so stubborn to use the same story and different scenes many times over the years. Of course, this is a miracle, except Zhou Xingchi, no one else can play it. Therefore, writing a film review can also be lazy, as long as the name of the film is replaced every time, the previous film review can still be used miraculously. Are you convinced?
Therefore, although Zhou Xingchi is a harlequin in people's definition, he is an authentic biography of Mei Lanfang's performance system. In this way, everyone can understand his changes and unchanging, and in what dimensions they have completed them, and can understand why Zhou Xingchi is today Zhou Xingchi.


Movies that can be called Zhou Xingchi’s works include: "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" (director by Li Lichi), "King of Destruction" (director by Li Lichi, and director of Zhou Xingchi), "Domestic Lingling Paint", "Small Detectives in China" ", "The God of Cookery", "The King of Comedy", "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu", "Yangtze River Seven", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" (not starred), "Mermaid" (not starred), others have varying degrees Participate in creation.
If you take a closer look at his leading works, you can feel the continuation and development of his own lens language system, value system and aesthetic system. Therefore, whether to regard "Journey to the West" as the highest level work of Zhou Xingchi, it is to distinguish the cognitive level of fans. As an important ruler, those fans who regard "Fighting Back to School", "The Legend of the Deer" and "Journey to the West" as Stephen Chow's most classic works and the truly experienced fans are now clearly separated.
I agree with Zhou Xingchi, not because he is funny and humorous, but because he agrees with his attitude towards his works and the values ​​behind his works.
In fact, many people wonder if Stephen Chow is worthy of recognition? Just a clown!
In my eyes, he is the dream and hope of those who have a humble background but do not give up all their efforts and enthusiasm to win a professional dignity. Yes, he is the diamond of the low-level people. It's that simple.

Why does "Mermaid" look good and sell well?
4

1
Box office is the result of banknote voting

Many people are surprised that "Mermaid" sold 2.1 billion in 9 days. Don't be surprised or feel magical. Zhou Xingchi is a capitalized word: box office record! It's just that, from the original box office rankings that dominated more than a dozen a year, it was changed to dominate once every three years. Besides, "Hong Kong 囧", "Thai 囧", "Pancake Man", "Charlotte Troubles", "Looking for the Dragon", and "Monster Hunting" are all 1 billion +. Why can't Stephen Chow's movies sell 2 billion +? This is unscientific what!
In fact, the film industry is called industry, which is the pursuit of the greatest common divisor of the product demand scene by the production team. Whoever makes the most accurate decision will get the greatest commercial return.
Let's look at the issue of value guidance in reverse here. Compared with the top ten Chinese-language movies, "Mermaid" is the closest to the Hollywood commercial film system, that is, the three views are correct and conform to the basic universal values. He didn't show off vulgarity, and didn't play any sideballs to cater to the audience.
Most importantly, "Mermaid" is by no means more luck than any of them, because the 2016 Spring Festival file can be described as a dead group. This is really fate. Jiang Zhiqiang once said that the reason why "Monster Catch" did not dare to be put on the Spring Festival file was to avoid Stephen Chow. However, this time Jiang Zhiqiang Anle Films is responsible for the Hong Kong release of "The Mermaid" and it will also be distributed. a lot of money.


2
Romance or eco-friendly?

In fact, many people think that this is an environmentally friendly film.
Obviously it is a movie with the main line of love. Regarding love, Stephen Chow has actually only told one story in history: the desperate obsession for an inexplicable love.
Whether it is He Jinyin falling in love with Ali, or Liu Piaopiao falling in love with Yin Tianchou;
whether it is Turkey falling in love with Stephen Zhou, or Ling Lingqi falling in love with Li Xiangqin;
whether it is A Mei falling in love with A Xing, or Miss Duan falling in love with Xuan Zang;
Whether it's Mo Qi falling in love with the dumb girl or Shanshan falling in love with Liu Xuan...
They are so unreliable, unintelligible, ignorant, unreasonable...all like this-you just perfunctory and I say you like white roses. I took it to you just when I saw it, and forgot to shoot the bullets rain, and it was the bullet you shot;
when I saw someone pointing a gun at you, I rushed to help you block it, and forgot that you were scolding me to get me away.
I'm sorry, I love you so much, and I forgot that you are going to kill me...
How I hope I can't understand how desperate this is, because after the vivid and affectionate fulfillment, the reality becomes more and more ruthless, because the movie is An illusory dream, because it was portrayed too real, it made me so sad and desperate.
The real world requires us to deal with complexities, rationally choose, optimize arrangements, endure it, and swallow phlegm... But we will all die, all reasonable arrangements, wise actions, the glory of a day, and the cheapness of square inches, will all follow the decline of stars. And toward the heat death, neither the carrier nor the spirit will remain, including the simplicity and beauty of Zhou Xing Chi's recollection of the old tune.
Stephen Chow repeatedly emphasized that we must believe in beauty and fairy tales.
Many people use drama to understand "Mermaid", even Stephen Chow's movies, they don't understand what a fairy tale is!
In the adult world, those stubborn standards are used to deconstruct the rationality of the fairy tale plot.
The simpler the story model, the harder it is to make it. It is easy for a chef to make the delicacies of the mountains and the sea delicacies. Egg fried rice can’t be fooled, and every time, Zhou Xingxing only cooks egg fried rice. You folks, don’t squabble if you don’t understand, please! If you look good, go see it, don’t watch it if you don’t look good, go back to the bridge, go back to the road, I can only help you get here.



3 Is
"Mermaid" all right?

"Mermaid" is about to win the global Chinese film box office champion this week. But does such a high box office mean that this movie is excellent?
Obviously not.
Indeed, many film reviews have mentioned some problems. I also mentioned before. From the perspective of the structure and story model, this film is no problem. However, in the production of the rhythm of the editing and the production of the recording, it is obviously different from the " There is a big gap in the excellence of "Kung Fu". Is this because Stephen Chow is lazy, or the Chinese film industry is not up for it? The answer is yes. Stephen Chow has always used a Chinese-language special effects team-based cooperation method in special effects since "Kung Fu", occasionally using overseas technology. This is Zhou Xingchi's conscience to use investment to nourish the local technical team. Many other commercial blockbusters have adopted overseas technology on a large scale, and they have done very poorly. Is there no shame? However, every time it was because of the insufficient budget, Zhou Xingchi was anxious, and the special effects team also complained, the compensation was low, and the requirements were high. So this situation reflects the huge problems in the cost structure of the Chinese film industry. Stephen Chow, tried his best. If it is not done well, he will not deliver.
Compared with the top ten Hollywood commercials in the box office of mainland movies, such as "Super 7", "Change 4", "Reunion 2", "Jurassic", "Avatar", etc., Zhou Xingchi has to work hard except to change the special effects and technical capabilities of the Chinese film industry. In addition, there are other types of work besides director work, such as editing, recording, visual... and many other detailed work types.
I don't think that a director can change too much of this systemic problem. Isn't his hair white enough?
I don't think that in commercial films, apart from Ang Lee, who developed in Hollywood, there is anyone who can do it closer to what he should be. So even if it is the first in Chinese film history, it is not surprising that Stephen Chow does not need this kind of shit luck, but it does not mean that "Mermaid" is excellent.
The entire film industry needs to be more professional and better, so that we are worthy of having some geniuses and masters. Isn't it?


"
Fortunately, we are in an era with Stephen Chow. We need more filmmakers who regard Meihua as their business.
Thank you, Stephen Chow!

There is no one like you anymore, and you will play you again. OK, the sensational end. The gossip begins.
1. To tell the truth, Jolin Tsai will star in "Mermaid," Don't laugh, Little Pig.


2. The real mermaid is Jiangzi, Marmet, the point is that the heroine Lin Yun licked a mouthful in the trailer, but the moment of licking, the expression was extremely painful, because the brows were frowned, and the first man in the vision It’s Tian Qiwen, nicknamed the frog. It’s Master Xing's assistant ten years ago and also starred in "The King of Comedy". "Shaolin Football" (the sky is full of planes, the street is full of computers, the brothers in the golden bells and iron shirts) "Kung Fu" (the crocodile helps the minions who are greedy for life and fear of death, hey, who! That who! ) And many other movies, the king of supporting roles in the later works of Star Master.


3. Wang Quanan, you are really blind.


4. Will the check be burned in the next action? The character that Deng Chao saved in "Scorching Sun" was once defeated by "Villain Angel". However, to cooperate with Xingye, he must save character again, because there is no failed role in Xingye movie, even There is no supporting role. Just like the supporting role behind Deng Chao was a thug from the axe gang in "Kung Fu" ten years ago, he said a line to the Huoyun Cthulhu: Old man, you are good at playing, are you? Everyone should remember.

5. International poster, let’s look at the investors, Bigao Group, Columbia, Wayshow Pictures, Alibaba Pictures, the first company is Star Master, bingo! Listed company, but the stock is very cheap. Don't blame me for not reminding you to buy in advance, this time the 5 major issuers have signed a minimum 2 billion contract.
Columbia is a veteran American film company acquired by Sony and the lead investor of "Kung Fu". This time it should only be responsible for overseas distribution.
Wayshow Pictures is a co-investor of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "The Mermaid". It is an Australian production company. The reason why Xing Ye chose them is not because they did the "The Matrix" trilogy but because of "Mystic River". ", those who understand will naturally understand.
The predecessor of Alibaba Pictures is Dong Ping’s Cultural China. It was the producer of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". Later, due to the dispute between the Star Master and the Huayi Brothers, they stood on the side of the Star Master and won another vote in the Star Master movie. The opportunity is that Cultural China was acquired by Ali Pictures Capital during this period. With the so-called 7-year 5 film contract by Xingye, the market value of a film company that had never had a work in Hong Kong once exceeded 80 billion Hong Kong dollars. "Journey to the West" Star Lord is not available for filming. Under the urging of Ali Pictures, it is directed by Tsui Hark and produced by Star Lord. It will be screened on the first day of the new year of 2017.


6. This is a still with a lot of information. The man on the left in the foreground is the curator of the Museum of Exotic Animals of the World in "The Mermaid", the actor is Yang Neng, and the character in "Shaolin Football" is called Pork Rong. He is a strange flower that is bursting with sauce while holding a cigarette. The singing and dancing detonated, and there was a pork dance that was too beautiful to watch. Then, together with the neighbors such as Xingye, danced on the street to pay tribute to Michael Jackson's 1982 Zombie Flurry MTV "Thriller", which was shocking. In "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", he played the first fisherman, holding a thousand-year-old salted fish to the mage, this time there is not much room to play. In the first trailer of "The Mermaid", the mermaid with glasses rolling out of the bathtub is him...
There are many bright spots in the background. Let alone the frog, he is holding a fan and is on his right. It's Baike and Kong Lianshun, a natural facial paralysis, a unique style, I dare not think about it, and that little fat man, must be the last little boy with a big nose in "Kung Fu" who grew up, hahahaha, too much brain hole When he gets older, Master Xing seems to like little fat guys.
The amount of information in this picture is so large that it overflows. It reveals the strange wisdom of the star from the inside out. Almost all the love in the movie has not been lost. The pig in "Kung Fu" Cage City Wall, the layout of the demolished house in "Yangtze River No. 7", the fishing village in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"... are actually the childhood market in his memory. The most complicated, most unbearable and beautiful things in all human beings are there. In his vision, he used it as a condiment to produce a beautiful pot of "Buddha jumping over the wall". Zhou Xingchi's type is a synthesis of "Buddha jumping over the wall" art and "Je Kun Do" art. Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is an extremely troublesome hodgepodge of cooking, but it is not a simple hodgepodge, but he is not a "fat cook" who makes a hodgepodge soup with a greasy belly, nor is he a film creator who stacks elements and is known as a tribute. When you do something, you have to think about what no one else has done.
He constantly seeks to change and seek novelty among the numerous movie elements and styles, and creates a unique "Zhou Xingchi type" movie. Zhou Xingchi is obsessed with drifting between various styles. He enjoys the joy of concentration in the process of cooking every "raw material" detail. He chooses ingredients and cooks carefully, every time he makes the taste of Buddha jumping over the wall. Always unique and all-encompassing, the charm of change is undoubtedly manifested in the process of his film forging. The spirit of love and dreams, perseverance and hard work, positivity, and perseverance in Stephen Chow’s movies that permeate the entire human being is the "soup and rice wine" in the Buddha Jumping the Wall. The ingredients can always be readily available, but the "soup and rice wine" Always the same.
Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do not only created an infinite martial arts realm with human limited thinking, but also unintentionally irrigated the inner world of a generation of comedy king Zhou Xingchi. Chow Xingchi infused Bruce Lee's methodology of "taking the inability as the law, and the infinity as the finite" into his work methodology. Simply put: if there is no method as a method, there is no fixed method. It changes according to changes in the situation, and when there is no limit. To be restricted means that there is no prescribed restriction. Master Xing never does superficial imitation, but takes infinity as his inner self-demand for limited freedom.


7. The one on the left is the article, the male number one of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". In this film, Deng Chao and article appeared in Xingye's movie. As an actor, their hearts are broken. I can understand them. . The policeman on the right is the king of facial paralysis in Hong Kong, Li Shangzheng. He is also a super strange thing. He has played the bully teacher of "Yangtze River Seven" and the Drifter of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

8. Boundless loneliness

9. Cute and handsome


Can't write it down, that's the end.
