From Star Boy to Star Master, from shuttle to the king of comedy, Stephen Chow's films are the memories of a generation.
Fans and friends who are familiar with his films have a feeling that "at first glance, I don't know the meaning of the film, and then I am already a person in the film".
This also proves the influence of Stephen Chow on a generation of film fans.
He laughs, the audience laughs, even if he doesn't laugh, the audience will laugh, why he laughs, it seems that he is no longer considered.
The protagonists in the movie are all little-known people, who do not want to be heroes, entertain themselves, laugh at themselves, achieve heroic careers in adversity and crisis, and resonate with the audience.
Nowadays, although he does not return to the peak of Hong Kong films, there is no shortage of filmmakers who pay tribute to and imitate his nonsensical comedy.
Starring Peng Yu and Liu Yukun, the "Wu zhuangyuan Su Qi'er's Heavenly Descending Oracle" was launched.
Whether it is from the storyline or the narrative style, there is a strong taste of Zhou Xingchi, however, such a tribute does not seem to resonate with the audience.
It was launched for 2 days, and the cumulative sub-account was only 438,000, and the number of moviegoers was only 175,000.

The story takes place at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Folk "oracles" descended from heaven, and many ministers died violently one after another.
In order to block the mouth of Yo-Yo, the Emperor decided to hold a ceremony to sacrifice the heavens and appointed the Nine Gates Admiral Fucha Yuheng to investigate the case.
This network is big, whether it is a human setting or a storyline, there is a shadow of Zhou Xingchi.
The male protagonist, Peng Yuyu, often watched the fans of the Internet University are familiar with this actor.
Over the years, he has starred in a lot of online movies, and the box office is not bad.
The unusual Dongchang Gonggong in "Super Eunuch" and the roles of Dao Yin Thirteen in "Taoist Out of the Mountain" are his representative works, and he also won the Best Actor Award of Golden Bone Duo Network Film and Television with "Taoist Out of the Mountain".
He also has a strong Hong Kong film plot, and film and television dramas of various themes can also be quickly started.
In the past few years, he has also become a sweet potato for online movies.
According to statistics, since 2013, he has starred in 34 films, and the output is as high as that of Gu Tianle in Hong Kong films.
In the new film "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er's Heavenly Descending Oracle", he has many bridge sections with Zhou Xingchi's early performance style.
As a master of comedy, Zhou Xingchi's performance is naturally deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his performance style and film terriers, even if imitated, are mostly "similar and mysterious".

Audiences familiar with Stephen Chow know that the protagonists of his films are small people.
Their ups and downs, tragedies and joys, to a certain extent, reflect and metaphorically reflect reality, which is why his comedy films can make many people "cry".
His classic work "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" tells the story of the rise of a framed beggar.
Su Can was originally a dashing and golden brother, with no worries about food and clothing, and his father also held great power.
However, after encountering Ru Frost, things took a turn for the worse.
In order to marry her, he went to Beijing to take the Wuzhuangyuan exam, but he was accused of paying the examiner, but eventually became a beggar.
Lost his career, gained love, and in his darkest years, he encountered a bright and gorgeous tenderness.
Whether it is family affection or love, it is a good medicine to smooth out the wounds in the male protagonist's heart.
A very bizarre story, but there is a profound truth, any period of embarrassment, only the strength of the heart, can help you survive the difficulties.
What people can't break through is always their own heart.
At the same time, the inflamed trend in reality, holding high and stepping low, is enough to change a person's fate.
The metaphor behind the story is reality.
In this movie, there is still a strong sense of desolation of small people, such a sense of reality and fireworks, which can just resonate with the audience.
The life in Stephen Chow's movie, the ups and downs of fate, and the protagonist's heartache and helplessness are all moving.

Classic movies come with their own IP, which can indeed attract a lot of audiences.
However, the core is still to tell a good story, rather than staying at a shallow level of imitation.
Wonderful fights, special effects can indeed add points to the movie, however, even if it is a network movie, everything is based on a reasonable plot.
With a good script as a support, the whole work will have a soul and temperature.
Not everyone is Stephen Chow.
