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 elderly version of "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang" has not yet been released, and some directors have their eyes on the 1992 "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", director Fang Yinghua, sorry, have not heard of it, most of the "representative works" are network movies.
The biggest highlight is the currently announced starring list: Xu Shaoqiang, Yuan Xiangren and Huang Yishan.
Nowadays, it is difficult for Hong Kong films to return to the original peak state, but many filmmakers have never forgotten the Chow Sing Chi style nonsense, so they have made movies to pay tribute to or imitate.
This is not, some time ago, the network movie "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er's Heavenly Descending Oracle" starring Peng Yuyu and Liu Yukun was launched at kiwi home.
Whether it is the storyline or the narrative style, this film has a strong taste of Zhou Xingchi, but this tribute work did not resonate with the audience. The film was released for three days, but the box office was only 616,000, and the number of viewers was less than 250,000.
Moreover, in Peng Yu's version of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", there is a plot of a male protagonist going to "Yihong Courtyard" to investigate the case, and the whole process is full of jokes that are unfriendly to low-level female characters, and the perception is very poor, which directly lowers the connotation of the work.
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.
