Believe in Shi Hang, his ruler is a golden thread. This time, Luo Yonghao and Ning Caishen, two iron fans, are missing. As soon as they appear, intellectuals will file in.
In fact, the most important reason why Stephen Chow is so low-level and grassroots, and is so popular with intellectuals, is that he is a real film craftsman. In the eyes of his peers, Stephen Chow is a model of bad cooperation, because good cooperation requires sacrificing quality. In his eyes, work is character, because a good craftsman thinks character is more important than technology, and he is a technology controller. He is the only Chinese film that can compete with Ang Lee, a master trained in the Hollywood film industry. people. Compared with other filmmakers, it can be said that it is not how well Stephen Chow has done, but how badly his competitors have done.
The second point is that Stephen Chow has a heart to serve the audience, and this heart is the altruism of a real craftsman, because altruism makes life and works shine. He is such a smart person, he will not play stupid when it comes to user experience. Unlike many directors who do not clearly distinguish between creation and service, he confuses artists with craftsmen, treats hypocrisy and so-called feelings as food, and wants to bring in private goods and sell more tickets, which is called lack of altruism. In fact, the real big feeling is to maximize the altruism of others, so that the audience can have a relationship, isn't it? Personal feelings are not that important.
Third, life is all about its own time. Zhou Xingchi is not as good as Li Anhe and Jiang Wen in the international film circle, and even not as good as Zhang Yimou. But Zhou Xingchi knows what he wants, so it doesn't take a few years for him to start, only if he is completely original, completely satisfied and mature, and look at the 4 works since the new century, the quality is very high, maybe some people object, that is because You stand from your own perspective. If we look at a longer time dimension, the world will remember Chaplin, but the serious filmmakers who were at the same time as Chaplin were buried by time, that is, Stephen Chow used himself It's time to change the value world you want. In another 50 or 100 years, Zhou Xingchi's position in the film industry will make our generation proud, and can be the same era as the master, and the works that can be recorded in history may only be It will be a later work, just wait and see if you don't agree. He does not expect to become a master, but he is already on the road to master, especially in today's China, it is even more commendable.
Fourth, it is impossible to become a first-class person without filial piety. Needless to say, Zhou Xingchi is world-famous for his filial piety to his parents, especially his mother, no matter how many people he is. .
Fifth, he is a businessman who abides by business rules. I especially admire him as a businessman who is willing to accept losses and always believe in contracts. He cares about money, but he will never gain business interests through improper means. He cares about feathers more than anyone else. He is strong because it is professional in itself, and at the same time, he is a super IP with infinite value. Today's "Mermaid" can prove that the combination of resources that are worthless in the eyes of others is the real value in his hands. Facts have proven this.
Sixth, fight cruelty and injustice with warmth and simplicity. Many people say that Zhou Xingchi's works are too simple, too light and playful, and have no profound 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, in the face of stupidity, greed, rudeness, and even meanness in you and me, can point it out sharply and mercilessly, and forgive those who are always inattentive to what is really valuable. He is also the kind of person who can tolerate the flaws in all of us, deplore the misfortunes they suffer, never give up hope and courage to improve our lives and those around us, even in the cruelest and most bleak moments, and he stubbornly uses his own All the rest of his life, patiently using his works to look forward to the kindness and warmth of enlightenment people, these are the real utopias in this dark world. This is the most valuable thing about Stephen Chow in our era.
