A glimpse of the stars, a first-class Zhou Xingchi (reviewing "The King of Comedy" again)

Good causes are formed in the whole body,

Stars can also shine.

Chi Yue Yilin does not need to be discussed,

Likes and dislikes, but it depends on whoever comes later!

Zhou Xingchi, what did you think of when you saw these three words? a name? Yes, it is indeed a name, but it is now not just a name, but a phenomenon. When it comes to him, some people will claim to be elegant, and some people will be indignant and even tear off the mask of kindness and criticize him, but some people would rather bear the notoriety of "brain powder" and go against the current to protect him. Perhaps for every movie lover, there is a question in their heart: Zhou Xingchi, what kind of person is he? I haven't had anything to do recently. In my spare time, I watched the channel together on Huya and savoured a few of Stephen Chow's works, trying to get a glimpse of the leopard. Fortunately, I really tasted some meaning, shared it here, and made a family statement.

"The King of Comedy" - life is like a play

When mentioning Stephen Chow, I have to mention the movie "The King of Comedy", because it is almost Stephen Chow telling the audience about his early years. Director Stephen Chow, starring Stephen Chow, let us follow the story and walk through his mental journey back then.

"Effort! Struggle!", at the beginning of the film, a person with only his back on the surging tide shouted. In the roar of the waves, this cry seemed so insignificant, but it was so stubbornly introduced into everyone's ears, making people feel a little depressed and struggling. A lonely back and a stubborn cry set the gray tone of the whole film, which is so incompatible with the title "The King of Comedy". Speaking of which, shouldn't this movie be a comedy?

Sadness and joy aside, let's take a look at the story first.

"Cut!" Yin Tianqiu painstakingly guided some unwary extras next to the camera. "Although you are playing the role of passers-by, A, B, C, and D, you still have life and soul." Well, this director is not bad, very professional and dedicated! I believe this is the inner thought of every audience who watches the movie for the first time. However, being handsome for only three seconds seems to have become a rule, and the appearance of the assistant director immediately debunked this misunderstanding. "Who are you?" "Uh, I'm an actor." "Aunt Xia, what does this guy do?" An actor, but I believe most of the audience will laugh when they see this: Oh, it turns out that this guy is just a trickster.

Yes, the male protagonist is just a small role in the role, this time I just come to the crew to see if there is any announcement. This also corresponds to the beginning of the shot, no wonder you have to work hard, no wonder you have to struggle. But things don't seem to be so simple. How can you explain such a professional explanation and a dedicated attitude just now? As the story continues, it turns out that this is true. The classic scene of the assistant director's audition followed. Yin Tianqiu's nervous expression can change into many styles. This scene has also become a star expression package in the mouth of many fans. But Tian Chou did not perform exactly as the assistant director asked. "If a person is hit too hard, he will enter a state of mental shock and will no longer react." He has his own ideas about performance, and even more He has his own perseverance, but it is also ignored by the director. "What did I do wrong, Aunt Xia?" "I don't know what you are doing!" Aunt Xia's evaluation of him was simple and clear. Maybe Huangtian paid off. Tianqiu got this rare chance to play when other tricks were too good, but his persistence really got him into trouble. During the performance, he insisted on performing according to his own understanding of the character. As a result, he screwed up a scene carefully shot by everyone, and at the same time, he became what everyone called "a priest who can't die no matter what." It is conceivable that he lost the opportunity to appear again this time, and of course he lost the right to receive a lunch from the drama manager. He returned to the Neighborhood Welfare Society under the sarcastic and resentful singing of the drama administrator. He was also a welfare society administrator. While the neighbors complained that he was late, he smiled and served the neighbors. However, taking the basketball for the ping-pong ball to the neighbors by mistake revealed his turmoil. He didn't give up, he called Aunt Xia several times, and asked about the announcement tirelessly, even though the other party's tone was so impatient. After being repeatedly rejected, he returned to his simple nest with only one bed, one cabinet and one chair. At this moment, he should be extremely bitter. The room is not big, but there are pictures of famous actors all over the wall. In the middle of the photo is an old mirror. Maybe when he looks in the mirror, he can feel that he is one of those actors. Before going to bed, he was lying on the little bed that he couldn't turn over. He reviewed the old but spotless book - "The Self-cultivation of Actors". At this time, he may remember that he was at the seaside at sunrise. cry. Turn off the lights, go to sleep...

This is how the first little story ends. Yin Tianqiu, as a good man, insists on saying that he is an actor. From his neither humble nor arrogant tone, he can feel that this is not to satisfy his own vanity, but that the word actor cannot be profaned in his heart. He can cater to the director according to general requirements, so that he can at least receive a lunch, but his understanding of performance and morbid persistence make him an alternative in the eyes of others. Even so, he still did not give up the cry, did not give up the yellowed textbook. Perhaps Aunt Xia's evaluation of Yin Tianqiu can best represent people's feelings: "I don't know what you are doing!" Is Yin Tianqiu the epitome of Zhou Xingchi? I think so.

On the second day of the story, he did not give up. The Neighborhood Theater of the Welfare Society may be a good platform. Prepare the props earnestly, although there is only one person; do the performance propaganda diligently, even if the object is only a child in kindergarten; diligently face the script, even if the actor seems so unreliable. For the sake of popularity, he even invited the unpopular young boy Hong Ye to join him. In the eyes of the audience, Yin Tianqiu was intoxicated by these unobtrusive behaviors, just so that he could perform a "Thunderstorm" in the Neighborhood Theater. I remembered the words of Aunt Xia: "I don't know what you are doing". Some people are destined to be difficult to understand. Young and Dangerous Boy, who seemed to be loyal on the surface, agreed to support him, and then corrupted the only 100 yuan that the Neighbor Granny had. Yin Tianqiu saw it in his eyes, and changed the method to pay back the money to his grandmother, knowing that his nest was only a bed, a cabinet and a chair. When you are still struggling, you still want to help others. This person should not be a bad person. However, his kindness did not get what he deserved. When "Thunderstorm" was performed, the stage was empty. This can't help but remind us of Stephen Chow's charitable actions, donating anonymously and donating bone marrow for free. I don't think bad people will do these things, at least they won't do bone marrow donation. I remembered that sentence again: "I don't know what you're doing". Yeah, so kind and so low-key, why can't you let us know what you're up to? Why not let your kindness be rewarded a little?

Later, the heroine Liu Piao Piao appeared. When her youthful and beautiful dress and angelic face made us think that the comedy finally turned to the main topic, the development of the story made us understand that we are only from a tragedy. Step into another tragedy. She is a lady sitting on the stage, and she has an unbearable past. The betrayal and next act of her first love have plunged her into the endless darkness at the moment. She didn't want to be in this lowly business, but the bad cards in her hand made her unable to break the jar. She can learn how to obey the guests, but she retains the last trace of dignity in her heart, and it is this dignity that allows her to fight her teacher Yin Tianqiu because of the phrase "sell it out" in the class where she is learning to play on the scene. However, God of Destiny doesn't seem to play cards according to the routine. It is precisely with the one-and-a-half trick taught by the dead runner who was beaten by herself, she actually made a guest who no one could coax to bow down to her willingly. Under the pomegranate skirt. At this time, she began to face up to this dead man, so she had a second visit and ask for advice. Yin Tianqiu refused to ask for advice at first, as can be seen from his black eye circles, but when she took out a few banknotes and put them on the table, the word "true fragrance" was vividly interpreted. Yes, the rice is really fragrant, who can not eat it. He originally planned to wear casual clothes to match his teacher status, but when he saw the innocence and innocence she and the child showed together, his heart seemed to throb, and he finally chose the best suit and a pair of The best tie. He taught her how to address guests, how to use eyes, and how to hug each other, but when hugging each other, she seemed to have found a shoulder that she could rely on for a long time, and feelings secretly grew at this moment. It's a pity that the tender buds of love just showed their heads, and she was trampled in the mud by the unbearable past that she inadvertently evoked, and a supposedly sweet encounter broke up unhappily.

God is always fair, and the passing of love is Yin Tianqiu's first success - he successfully made a seemingly obedient boy receive twenty dollars for protection through his performance fee. The long-lost success made him ignite his passion again, and he returned to the studio again, hoping to use this experience to win a chance for himself to appear on the screen. He did get this opportunity, but the reason was that the shooting was too dangerous. Unsurprisingly, he failed again, although it wasn't his reason, and this time he didn't get the lunch he deserved, just because the uncle of the drama was not used to his trip to help the underworld to collect protection fees. He came full of hope but returned disappointed again. At this time, he should be very lonely. But life hit him so hard, but he still didn't take away his kindness. "Your grandma worked so hard to bring you up alone, she is the hero, you are not!" This is what he did to the superficial underworld of Hong Ye. what the boss said. He was poor in life and suffered heavy blows in his career. He could have joined the underworld and lived a glorious life like Lord Hong, but he did not, and still chose to be an ordinary hero who worked hard. When people are so poor that they have almost nothing, they can still do good deeds. Goodness is great! There seems to be a shadow of a mother named Ling Baoer on the grandmother's body, and Yin Tianqiu at this moment may be the true portrayal of Zhou Xingchi's heart!

Lord Hong seemed to be moved by Tian Chou, and actually accepted his proposal to make a drama. Heaven seems to be moved by Tian Chou, but the unadvertised drama performance broke through "Thunderstorm" and ushered in an audience - Liu Piaopiao, although it was the only audience. With the beautiful woman on the side, it doesn't matter if there is only one person, several people are working hard to express their roles. It's a pity that the midfielder's mistake made this gorgeous performance have to be interrupted, but this is a success, because his performance has finally been recognized by others. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" He hugged her, and with four thanks, he exuded a long-suppressed emotion - the relief of being finally understood, the hope of persevering, and the gratitude to the beautiful woman in front of him, each heavier than the other, A sound is more firm than a sound. "You will definitely become an excellent lady on the stage!" "Thank you!" "You will definitely become an excellent death runner!" "Thank you!" The two men and women at the bottom expressed their love for each other in the most straightforward way. With the encouragement of , no one was uncomfortable with the title that he cared about at the beginning, because the two throbbing hearts were already connected. "Hey, it's so dark in front, I can't see anything," she said. "No, it will be beautiful after dawn." He replied. She looked at him, thinking that maybe this man can really entrust her life. At this point, the two no longer conceal their inner feelings, and they are all night long...

But love always has to be tested. Tian Chou's perseverance and professionalism finally won the favor of the actress Du Juan'er, and even wanted to promote him as the male lead. The actress took him to participate in various activities, spared no effort to promote him as a newcomer to the media, and at the same time unabashedly expressed his different feelings for him. He must have known the queen's feelings for him, but what he didn't know was that Liu Piao Piao had given up her unbearable job for him, and she had even been beaten badly for it. One is a popular actress who can help him realize his own value, and the other is an intimate lover who is caught in fireworks. Where should the enmity go? Perhaps for him, this does not require a choice at all, because if he had to choose, he would have chosen the bento in the first place.

Tian Chou's single-mindedness in love made countless audiences cry, pushing this and the other, what about Stephen Chow, who is still single in his sixties? His love life does not dare to make false statements without authorization, but at least he is not promiscuous!

The last story of the film is an infernal story. Yin Tianqiu, who missed out with the male lead, was chosen by the uncle who was always targeting him to perform a good show. It turned out that the drama manager was an undercover police officer, and he needed to find a professional actor to act as a temporary informant. Tian Chou was the male lead he was looking for. "Money is not the point, the point is whether there is room for acting." Until now, Yin Tianqiu's requirement for acting was still to show his acting skills. Maybe he is a lunatic! After receiving a positive answer, he resolutely decided to participate. Facing the vicious opponent Tianqiu, he did his best, although the result was not perfect, but as the drama manager said, "It is the first time to be a male lead, and the performance is not bad." So far, Yin Tianqiu has successfully realized his dream of being an actor.

Some people say that this ending is meaningless and unfinished, but I think this story is the finishing touch. Looking back on the whole play, Yin Tianqiu's first real male lead role is here, but this is not filming, but real life with real swords and guns. There is a line in the drama business, "I am more professional, noble and skilled than those so-called actors, because I am acting every day, although I have no script but I will never be NG, I should win the Oscar for best actor. Award", his life is one drama after another. As for Tian Chou, no matter how professional and persistent he is, the road to finding drama in front of the camera is bumped everywhere, but in the big drama of life, he has successfully played the leading role once. Coincidence? No, it's doomed, or you can say it - life is like a play!

Yes, life is like a play, and play is like life. After watching this movie, I got such an answer that Stephen Chow wanted to convey. Perhaps for Zhou Xingchi, life is his own drama, but why is the drama not his own life? Yin Tianqiu in the play is persistent and stubborn, but he always insists on an ordinary and kind life, which is very similar to Zhou Xingchi outside the play. Thinking of this, Yin Tianqiu and Zhou Xingchi seem to overlap, Yin Tianqiu is in the play, and Zhou Xingchi is outside the play.

Maybe a movie is not enough to explain anything, but from the nature of its autobiography, who would dare to say that it has nothing to do with Stephen Chow?

Huya Film Group, meet you to watch it together!
