Stephen Chow said in public more than once: I'm already angry. In the past few years, Stephen Chow has indeed been outdated in the eyes of some young people, because he has not had a new work for a long time, and there is no news that a "Mermaid 2" has been finalized for a long time. In the past year, Xing Ye, who has been silent for a long time, suddenly made a force, first auditioning the actors of "Shaolin Women's Football" in the world, and then entering the field of short dramas, this time to participate in the variety show "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season", netizens asked in surprise: Is Xing Ye going to fully return?
The King of Comedy is Stephen Chow's label
If you ask you who is the king of comedy in the Chinese world? I believe most people will think of Stephen Chow, the king of comedy has become Stephen Chow's exclusive label, not only because he starred in "The King of Comedy", but because of his all-round comedy talent. The mainland film and television platform iQiyi has taken a fancy to Stephen Chow's identity as the king of comedy in the Chinese world, and is ready to dig deep into Stephen Chow's comedy resources, focusing on "The King of Comedy", "Journey to the West", "God of Food", "Yangtze River No. 7", "Kung Fu", "Shaolin Football", "Jiupin Sesame Official", "Truant Weilong" series, "Gambling Saint" series are all classic works, and carry out in-depth development in dramas, movies, variety shows, animation and other fields, and the first to launch is the "King of Comedy Stand-up Season" one-person talk show.
What's amazing is that iQiyi really invited Stephen Chow as a guest. Don't look at Xing Ye's witty words and swaying freely in the movie, in fact, he is a very quiet person in real life, and even has a little social phobia, so Stephen Chow rarely participates in variety shows. Judging from the guest lineup announced by "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season", in addition to Stephen Chow, there are also Luo Yonghao, Yang Li, and Zhou Qimo, these four have been confirmed to participate, and Guo Qilin and Yang Tianzhen are the guests to be invited. From the perspective of age structure, the four guests identified are a combination of old, middle and young, and Xing Ye is undoubtedly the brightest star among them, but this is just the editor's idea, judging from the attention in the comment area, the discussion between Yang Li and Zhou Qimo is far more hot than Stephen Chow and Luo Yonghao, is Stephen Chow really out of luck in the eyes of young people?
"The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" program announcement
Looking at the program announcement of "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season", the resident guests are the judges, commenting on the stand-up comedians who participated. Xing Ye's criticism of the actors on the set is to the point and ruthless, from this point of view, Xing Ye is very suitable for being a judge, and can help the participating actors quickly find their shortcomings, but now that the times have changed, a sharp way of commenting like Xing Ye is usually regarded as a poisonous tongue, if another actor can't hold it and cry or something, netizens will bring a keyboard to criticize Xing Ye. If there are a few popular actors among the contestants, it will be even more incredible, how can an outdated old artist make negative comments about our idols?
In addition, Stephen Chow has been a little busy recently, and I am afraid that he cannot guarantee that all of them will attend the "King of Comedy Stand-up Season" program. The actor audition of "Shaolin Women's Football" has entered the interview stage, and dozens of actors must be selected from tens of thousands of applicants, which is quite a huge workload. A few days ago, the interview activity of "Shaolin Women's Football Team" in Taiwan was a bit big, after all, there is the aura of the star, and the Taiwan side made the actor interview more grand than the opening of the talent show. "Shaolin Women's Football" should be the focus of Xingye's work, after selecting the actors, it is time to shoot, with Xingye's strictness, it is normal to shoot for a year and a half, and Stephen Chow really has no time to participate in variety shows at that time.

Judging from Stephen Chow's recent work, he is not deeply involved in the short drama planned to be launched in May, and this short drama is most likely a project in the name of Xing Ye and someone else. I hope Stephen Chow has more time to participate in "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season", are you looking forward to Xingye's witty words?
