Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny

Stephen Chow directed the first directorial work "Shaolin Soccer" for the first time. In fact, "Shaolin Soccer" can be said to be a gentle version of "Kung Fu", which has laid a solid foundation for the road to "Kung Fu".

Stephen Chow playing the star who is obsessed with martial arts can be said to be a Platonic figure in so many roles that Stephen Chow has played. His confession to Amei (played by Zhao Wei) is not as lost as in traditional romance films, trying to find Amei. In Xing's worldview, he constructed his own ideal country of "Shaolin football", human nature is higher than love, and he and Amei are limited to spiritual exchanges.

The star represents a plump ideal, but the skinny reality naturally focuses on the plummeting coach Ming Feng (played by Wu Mengda) and senior brother (played by Huang Yifei). Ming Feng is kneeling to please the push (played by Xie Xian). Too extreme, you have to forgive others and forgive others, and doing things too absolutely provokes hatred and eventually eats back at yourself. And this scene can also be reminiscent of the fact that Stephen Chow in reality was dismissed by the directors when he used to play tricks. The actor Huang Yifei, who played the big brother, also won the supporting actor of the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards for this film. It can be said that Huang Yifei's performance in it surpassed Stephen Chow. He vividly interprets the difficult survival of the bottom middle-aged, is despised by the boss in the workplace, can only do the most basic work in the job search, finally cooperated with Xing and was teased by the audience when he finally performed on stage. s arrangement. Such a small person with tears in laughter left an indelible impression on "Shaolin Soccer".

Unknowingly, Shaolin football has gone through 18 years. Most of these golden supporting roles parted ways with Zhou Xingchi, and a few continue to cooperate with Xingye. At that time, the actor who played A Mei was interested in Cecilia Cheung. Cecilia Cheung thought that the bald head was too ugly and refused to act, and Zhao Wei refused to shave her head and put on a hood to play the bald head. Star Lord had an idea and called A Mei an alien. In the end, Cecilia Cheung had no intention of working hard in the film industry to settle overseas to avoid those stories of different opinions. Although Zhao Wei sacrificed a lot at the time for being ugly and bald, her status as a first-line actress was unshakable.

I am very happy every time I see the happy ending of the movie. In reality, it is very difficult for people to achieve their ideals. If they really want this thing, they must continue to work hard. The harder they work, the luckier they become. The reality is also very skinny. May we pursue our hearts and conquer everything.

    The only thing about Zhou Xingchi's movies that I haven't seen until now is the first time. I feel that the later Kung Fu has a similar feeling. It's not the kind of Stephen Chow movies that can be watched many times. I might just like that laugh hahaha

    You say, how did Xingye think of combining kung fu and football? Is it really that the national football team is too bad?
