In the long river of time, some names are like bright stars, even if the years go by, they still shine brightly. Stephen Chow, the Chinese film superstar, is one of them.
However, as time passed, the former screen darling gradually faded out of people's sight, transformed from an actor to a director, and continued to write his own legend in the Chinese film industry.
When asked if he would go out to act again, Stephen Chow expressed his opinion with the sentence "I'm dozens of years old, what else do you think I can play?"
This sentence not only reveals his helplessness about age, but also reflects his deep thinking about his career as an actor. The transformation from actor to director is not only a change of professional identity, but also a leap in life stages.
Looking back on Stephen Chow's acting career, it can be said that it is full of legends. Since entering the Hong Kong TVB Artist Training Course in 1980, he has started his acting career.
In the early days, he played tricks in TV dramas and accumulated rich acting experience. Until the 90s of the 20th century, Stephen Chow gradually emerged with his unique comedy style, from "The Gambler" to "Truant Dragon", and then to "Journey to the West", his works not only achieved outstanding box office results, but also became classics in the hearts of the audience.
However, as time went on, Stephen Chow gradually shifted his focus to the background, taking on roles such as director and producer. This shift was not accidental, but rather thoughtful about his career.
He's at the top of his game as an actor, but as a creator, he has so much more ideas and creatives to achieve. So, he picked up the guide tube and began his career as a director.
Since "The King of Comedy", Stephen Chow has shown his talent as a director. This film not only cemented his status as a comedy superstar, but also gave people a glimpse of his unique perspective and profound skills as a director.
The subsequent "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "The Mermaid" set a new box office record for Chinese films, showing his strong creative strength as a director.
Director Stephen Chow's works, whether it is comedy elements or storylines, are full of his personal style. He is adept at magnifying the small details of everyday life, creating comedic effects through exaggerated performances and absurd plots.
At the same time, he is also good at exploring the complexity of human nature and the reality of society in his films, which makes his works full of depth and connotation in addition to humor.
However, despite Stephen Chow's great success in the field of directing, people's expectations for him to appear in movies again have never diminished.
After all, his performance style is unique and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and that kind of nonsensical humor and delicate emotional expression have become his unique label. However, for the audience's expectations, Stephen Chow showed an indifferent attitude.
"I'm dozens of years old, what else do you think I can play?" is simple, but it contains deep thought. For Stephen Chow, age is not only a number, but also an unavoidable reality.
As he grows older, his physical condition and performance state will change, which is an irreversible law of nature. At the same time, as a creator, he also needs to constantly challenge himself to try new roles and ways of acting.
However, this does not mean that he cannot appear in movies again, but he needs to be more careful in choosing the roles and works that suit him.
Overall, the transition from actor to director is an important leap in Stephen Chow's career. He has proved his strength in the field of directing with his talent and hard work, and has also made great contributions to the development of Chinese-language films.
Although people's expectations for him to appear in movies again have never diminished, we should also respect his choices and decisions.
After all, the most important thing for a creator is to be able to maintain their passion and creativity and continue to bring better work to the audience.
