After "Kung Fu", 3 years later, I saw Stephen Chow on the big screen again, with a shaggy beard. Although it was still so drab, it was indeed much older.
In the past, the indispensable elements in Stephen Chow's films, supernatural powers, Bruce Lee, star girls... "Changjiang No. 7", there is not one missing.
Let's talk about special features first. The so-called supernatural abilities usually do not need to be practiced hard, they are innate and natural. Although it is a typical indolent mentality, it is the unswerving fantasy of children.
When I was a teenager, at the border between waking and sleeping, I fantasized countless times that I was born with supernatural powers, drooling and falling asleep. Later, I found that Stephen Chow turned similar fantasies into reality one by one. For example, there is a pair of magical hands, as long as you put a poker card in your hand and rub it a few times, you can change it into any card you want. This is "The Holy Gambler"; there is an arm with natural power, which can be punched out with a single punch and is invincible. , this is "Xinjingwumen"; there is a precise and powerful foot, he is not playing alone, as if all the top strikers in the world have souls attached to their feet, this is "Shaolin Football"; there is a pair of King Kong's indestructible body , is a once-in-a-lifetime martial arts prodigy, the kind that can't be killed no matter what, this is "Kung Fu".
When it came to "Yangtze River No. 7", Zhou Xingchi became very generous, willing to be an ordinary migrant worker, and gave all his special functions to a dog.
This is a very, very, very Q alien dog. It is a talented actor. It changes face faster than turning over a book. Every expression is so cute that you can't wait to hold it tightly in front of your chest and crush it; It is a super maintenance worker. It can not only repair electric fans, but also repair the human body. It can magically revive the dead who have fallen. It is worth mentioning that its ability to poop is also very real. An AK47 with a strafing handle.
Even more generous than this, Zhou Xingchi gave all the rest of the limelight to a child who disguised himself as a man.
Zhou Xiaodi, played by Xu Jiao, is only as cute as an alien dog. A frown and a smile are all adorable. In the film, she must imitate Stephen Chow's idol Bruce Lee's signature moves, and she also has to say that extremely classic line: "Don't force me!" Cool and spicy! When she cried, my dry lacrimal glands were squeezed out of fluid; when she laughed, my hard-hearted heart became warm. Those fathers who have given birth to beautiful daughters, after watching the movie, will they also want to cut their daughters' hair and make them look like Xu Jiao?
As for the latest version of star girl Zhang Yuqi, the face is the comprehensive version of Zhang Min and Huang Shengyi, the body is the explosive version of Zhong Liti, and the acting is the pirated version of Zhu Yin, except to praise Zhou Xingchi's aesthetics, the others are lackluster.
In the past, I was afraid of running around blindly, and Zhou Xingchi played the leading role desperately; later, the protagonist was really tired, and Zhou Xingchi played a supporting role this time. He didn't have a lot of roles in "Yangtze River No. 7", and he kept repeating this line: "Being a man should have backbone, don't brag, don't fight, don't take other people's things, and even if you are poor, others will respect you." Good things can only be said when you are rich.
All in all, a lovely movie. The wicked are not the real wicked, the good people are utterly good, refreshing, simple, without any elements that are unsuitable for children. Describing the degree to which a certain kind of movie is suitable for all ages, it is said that "everyone likes to watch it from the age of 9 to 99". "Changjiang No. 7" can be said to be "loved to watch from 9 months to 99 years old" - even an ignorant baby would want to hug it when he saw that very Q alien dog.
