On August 2, according to media reports, Guangzhou Zhengkai Cultural Communication Company issued a statement on social media, saying that the case of suspected plagiarism of Zhou Xingchi had been concluded. Its 2018 recorded TV series "The King of Comedy 2018" is not a sequel to Stephen Chow's film "The King of Comedy" and any related works, and the company has revoked the filing of this TV series and its shooting plan has been terminated.
As early as April 2018, Li Lizhi, one of the directors of the movie "The King of Comedy", posted on social media that he would direct the TV series "The King of Comedy 2018" and received a lawyer letter from Stephen Chow, saying that it infringed copyright.
For the TV drama version of "The King of Comedy 2018" malicious rubbing heat, confusing behavior netizens have expressed great anger, and said: it is to touch porcelain.
Stephen Chow was once a phenomenon. He and Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, were jointly called "Double Monday Cheng" by the Hong Kong media and wrote into the history of Hong Kong films. His name became a guarantee for the film's box office and a synonym for "nonsense" comedy.
In 1999, Stephen Chow's self-directed and self-starred film "The King of Comedy" is his transformational work and has a special significance for him. This is an alternative comedy, when I was a child, I thought it was a comedy, and when I grew up, I looked back, but I felt the sadness of life.
In this movie, Zhou Xingchi made a complete review of his sad experience in the entertainment industry. Those days when there was no drama, running dragon sets on the set, those days that begged others and prayed for acting opportunities. During this time, even if it was the role of a dead person, he did not let go, and worked hard to act, pursuing a sense of layering that could be performed.
There is a scene in "The King of Comedy" where he and Cecilia Cheung sit by the sea, and the sea breeze blows their hair. Cecilia Cheung said that the front was pitch black and nothing could be seen, and Zhou Xingchi told her that after dawn, it would be beautiful.
It was really beautiful after dawn. Maybe life itself is a tragedy, but in the eyes of the onlooker it is a comedy, but we are in it, unconscious.
The current Zhou Xingchi is a childhood memory in the hearts of a generation and an irreplaceable existence. Star Master, who once brought us infinite joy and infinite thinking, is now 59 years old.
Support xingye to defend his rights, and hope that this film superstar can be healthy and safe.
