Stephen Chow after globalization

Poetry cannot be translated. This is simply to say that the subtleties and subtleties of the native language are the most difficult to convey. Nonsense is also untranslatable.

Too bad the market has changed. The local market in Hong Kong has brought out the era of Xingzai Xingye's beef movie. Although the mainland people later awarded him the "Grandmaster of the Generation" certificate, we mostly fell for it in the pirated discs in the video hall on the TV. How much silver is the star.

After the millennium, the situation changed dramatically. Du Qifeng can satirize all kinds of things in "Underworld", but he still has to cut out a "surrender" or "undercover" mainland version. This matter can be seen from two sides:
Du takes advantage of the internal and external benefits of the system, takes your money, and scolds your mother playfully; today’s market in mainland China can already buy enough obedient compromises.

How simple is the logic of making money in Hong Kong films now: cooperate with China to provide domestic heroines with a vase opportunity; find two or three attractive male actors, bang rumbling on the horse, the mainland rushes away, and Hong Kong can earn 10 million It's ok. In the end, there are really not many films that lose money, but the general situation will be hard to change if Hong Kong films are not Hong Kong.

This is the story of Hong Kong films after globalization - Director Du's schizophrenic scissors hands, Zhou Xingxing is no longer nonsensical, and the heroines of several Hong Kong film awards have been won by mainland movie stars. This is actually a matter of the market.
It’s not just Hong Kong films. Now Chinese films are all calculated in this way: the American market, the Asian market, the mainland market, the DVD market, calculating who the actors will be, and where they will have appeal, just as naked as an institution’s new stock.

I understand very well that Zhou Xingxing gave up nonsense to specialize in kung fu + stunts - Chinese kung fu is the best seller; he is not Bruce Lee and Jet Li, and this is also a solution. It's really not easy for Xing Ye to act and direct all by himself.

The "King of Comedy" episode is completed, and he has completed the final step of the master altar. It is serious to the extreme and bitter to the extreme. This is really a goodbye. It's just that we didn't know it yet.

I am not impressed with "Shaolin Soccer" anymore.
Really moved by "Kung Fu". I vaguely remember Huang mm's pure impression in the film, and she also sang the theme song. Three years later, Huang mm who went to the Spring Festival Gala is worthy of the leader of Tianlei.

When I saw the trailer, I expected it to be mostly unsatisfactory.
The best performer in it is the alien dog. The most moving is the alien dog.
If Zhou Xingxing only sells toys. That's good.
It's a pity that he still has to fight for movie box office and word of mouth.
The box office is not a problem,
the world is full of joys and sorrows -
when the bullies shocked us, we didn't have much money, and
we had some money on hand to give back and reward the bullies. .

How many times can I go to the cinema for Zhou Xingxing?
It is true that he has the sincerity of repaying the debt,
but it is somewhat sad.
This kind of tribute is nothing but performance art, right?
