The film that won the award for best film was Kung Fu, . How much do Stephen Chow's movie kung fu likes in the world?
There are so many movies by Stephen Chow, the most popular in the world should be kung fu, to what extent is it hot?
On December 23, 2004, the film Kung Fu directed by Stephen Chow was officially released in China, and has since been staged in 72 countries and regions around the world. In just a few months, the film swept through the Hong Kong film market that year, grossing HK$61.28 million, followed by another 170 million on the mainland, while her total global box office reached a staggering $105 million. Such achievements not only broke the box office records of Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, but also broke the box office records in 33 countries and regions across the country.
On May 11, 2005, the 58th Cannes Film Festival was held as scheduled, and it was Chow Sing Chi's film that was played at the Cannes premiere, when all the staff on the scene asked Chow to rest first and wait until the film was screened before appearing, but the stubborn Chow Xingchi refused. From the beginning of the screening of the film to the end, for up to two hours, Zhou Xingchi stood alone behind the big screen to observe the reaction of the audience, until the black curtain dissipated, the whole audience lights up, Zhou Xingchi walked from behind the screen to the front desk, at this time he was greeted by thousands of people in the audience spontaneously and uninterruptedly applauding, for three minutes.
Released in 2004, Kung Fu is a self-written and self-directed film by Stephen Chow, and the last film he starred in as the protagonist, when he was 42 years old. It can be said that for this movie, Zhou Xingchi has worked hard from shooting to casting.
The whole film, Stephen Chow, began to prepare in 2001 and was finally officially released, which took a total of three years. In three years, Zhou Xingchi invested nearly 60 million yuan in funds, and also invited many martial arts stars who have attracted many years to join, including the tailor's actors Zhao Zhilin and Dong Zhihua, all of whom were repeatedly begged by Zhou Xingchi to participate in the shooting.
In addition to the elders of the martial arts world who chartered to the time, such as Bao Yuanqiu, The CharterEd Gonghua, and the fire cloud evil god Leung Xiaolong, who were all famous martial arts actors in the Hong Kong film industry, the facts also proved that Chow Sing Chi's vision of people was very accurate.
Why did Stephen Chow make a kung fu movie?
It turned out that Zhou Xingchi had been a kung fu fan since he was a child, and like many people who had dreamed of fighting swords to save Cangsheng since childhood, he also had a martial arts dream. Stephen Chow's idol is Bruce Lee, who also studied Wing Chun and has some kung fu background in himself, but he was hindered by his poor family at an early age and failed to devote himself to martial arts. When he was in middle school, he felt that he was already a generation of martial arts masters, and he wanted to start classes and train disciples, but he was finally invited to the principal's office, and his kung fu dream died halfway.
We all say that the king of comedy has a strong autobiographical nature, as if Zhou Xingchi showed his bumpy artistic experience in front of us, in fact, kung fu is not so, he also showed his martial arts dream to the male protagonist in the movie, the whole process did not appear in the name, only a star on the end subtitle,
The content of Stephen Chow's own film is actually very simple, losing himself in adversity, the young man who embarked on the evil path met his first love Fangfang when he was a teenager, witnessing his most unbearable side and representing his most innocent nature. The heroine is gentle and kind, as she once was tolerant, his generosity awakens the conscience that has not been extinguished in the heart, and he finds the lost original heart,
In the confrontation between good and evil, he chose the side that supported justice, found his true self, defeated the evil forces, maintained world peace, and finally realized his wishes and created a happy life. With a loving heart, he conveyed the belief of gentleness, kindness, and equality, and touched the fire cloud of evil, the evil god led him to the right path, and he himself achieved true self-salvation. And those who were in danger also lived happily and happily in the harmonious world he guarded.
People who know Zhou Xingchi know that he often appears in some martial arts novel tricks in movies, and even played Wei Xiaobao in Mr. Jin Yong's Deer DingJi, and also appeared in Kung Fu such as Toad Gong, Yiyang Finger, Jiuyang Shengong and other tricks written by Mr. Jin Yong. In order to respect the author's copyright issue, Zhou Xingchi took the initiative to give Mr. Jin Yong 60,000 yuan in copyright fees, and Mr. Jin Yong repeatedly shirked and finally donated the money to the disaster area. After zhou Xingchi's move was passed out, it received widespread praise, and the news even spread to North America.
