Today's film market, it can be said that a hundred schools of music, a hundred flowers, a variety of different, different, despite such a variety, but the famous classic works are very few, as if there is no longer the previous hundred tired of watching.
At present, literary films are not so much loved, and the kung fu movies of the new era are not as popular as the early 21st century, and in the era when the Hong Kong entertainment industry was popular, kung fu movies can be said to be very popular. People can't get tired of watching it, so there are many kung fu stars, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, Jet Li, Zhen Zidan, Zhao Wenzhuo were all kung fu movie stars of that era, they are all popular movie stars with their hard work and solid work.
But in recent years, it seems that kung fu movies are not so audience, but some comedy movies are more acceptable, you can watch when you are happy, you can watch when you are unhappy, and you can still watch it carefully during the New Year's Festival!
Not only that, comedy movies have become the big head of today's film industry, like the "Detective Chinatown" series of movies, "People in the Road" series of movies contain a lot of comedy components, with a happy way to transmit a lot of positive energy, happy to grow knowledge and harvest happiness.
Moreover, both the elderly, children, boys, and girls especially like to watch such movies, and the audience is extremely wide, which shows the importance of comedy movies in people's lives.
When it comes to comedy movies, then we have to mention one person - Stephen Chow.
In comedy movies, Zhou Xingchi prides himself on being the second, then no one dares to boast of being the first, with movies such as "The King of Comedy", "Journey to the West", "Kung Fu", "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang" and other movies, so that Xingye has become an idol of many post-80s, post-90s, and even post-00s, and there are still countless people who have watched Xingye's classic masterpieces countless times.
Stephen Chow is also affectionately known as the king of comedy
Today's Star Ye rarely appears in movies, the original vigorous young Star Ye has been far away from us, and now The Star Ye is a white-haired director, among the many star ye film works, one of them has not landed in the mainland theater, this movie is - "Shaolin Football".
In the period when the Hong Kong film market was at its lowest level, Stephen Chow's films became fragrant and popular with the Hong Kong public, and Stephen Chow single-handedly carried the box office, which can be seen how strong Stephen Chow's box office appeal in Hong Kong is!
In the same period, many movie stars have successively turned to Hollywood to develop, Chow Xingchi did not turn to Hollywood like many movie stars, but set his sights on the mainland market, in order to open the mainland film market, carefully created the movie "Shaolin Football", but this movie was finally released in Hong Kong and did not come to the mainland film market.
"Shaolin Soccer" contains nonsense comedy and kung fu, which is also very suitable for using Chow Sing Chi's fame in the mainland, but unfortunately it did not pass the trial in the mainland, and the reason why the review was not reviewed was that the name of the movie had the word "Shaolin".
If you want to release it in the mainland, you must change the name, but the film production company believes that the name is the essence of the movie and is not willing to change it! Therefore, it cannot be released in the mainland, so it chose to be released in Hong Kong, and the online version that everyone saw in the later period is not a theater version, but a version after appropriate modification.
Although many people did not see this film for the first time, it still did not affect Chow's fame in the mainland. Especially the sentence in the movie: "If you don't have a dream, what is the difference between being a person and salted fish", I don't know how many dreamers have been inspired.
To this day, there is no debate about whose fault it is that this movie "Shaolin Soccer" failed to be released in the mainland, and after so many years, even if it is argued out who is right and who is wrong, it is not so important. I don't know if you've seen this movie, friends who have seen it, do you like the character in the movie?
