There has been a saying on the Internet: that is, Zhou Xingchi can become popular in the Chinese area, all relying on Shi Banyu's voice, otherwise the influence can only be limited to the Cantonese-speaking area, Chow Xingchi can not be fired, but is this really the case?
Shi Banyu and Zhou Xingchi
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > is this really the case</h1>?
In 2021, another movie imitating Stephen Chow's nonsense comedy style was quietly released on the Youku platform, and this movie was called "The Fake President of the Dragon Set King". The plot setting of this movie is relatively simple, the small people have big dreams, and they can always make people can't help but think of Xingye's "King of Comedy", but this film cannot be compared with Stephen Chow's "King of Comedy".
"The Counterfeit President of the Dragon Set King" is to imitate the style of Xingye's nonsense comedy "The King of Comedy", starring Zhang Shiyu, who makes a living imitating Stephen Chow's performance.
Zhang Shiyu
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > Zhang Shiyu is obsessed with Zhou Xingchi or Shi Banyu? </h1>
In 2014, the 28-year-old Zhang Shiyu participated in the fourth issue of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", and as soon as the opening scene, he put down his body and patted Feng Dao's "horse ass": "Brother Gang, as a director, casually running a dragon set can snatch the limelight of the protagonist, it is really the king of cross-border ah, hahahahaha!" Zhou Xingchi's laughter made the audience can't help but laugh. After "Star Master" "commented" on the four observers one by one, Liu Yiwei couldn't hold back: "Hey, okay, start your performance." As a result, he was mainly opposed by "Star Ye": "I have been playing Big Brother! "Then when is your performance a head?" "Good question! Time is precious, finish the answer! ”
Zhang Shiyu, who calls himself Little Star Ye, has always wanted to become the king of comedy like Zhou Xingchi, tried all kinds of explorations, imitated Zhou Xingchi for ten years, and practiced against walls, cars, and trees every day.
Zhang Shiyu said: Zhou Xingchi has always been a dream of his, and it is also a threshold that has never been crossed, since the more he cannot pass, it is better to learn him, which is Zhang Shiyu's original intention of imitating Zhou Xingchi.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Shiyu imitated not Zhou Xingchi, but the image displayed by Zhou Xingchi on the big screen, and the player's rapid reflexes and sense of humor attracted applause from the audience. For Zhang Shiyu's performance, the four observers on the scene did not buy it.
Feng Dao fired the cannon first: "I am not against imitation, but I don't think you are like Zhou Xingchi, and it may be that I have been in contact with him many times." You are not imitating Stephen Chow, but Shi Banyu, the voice actor of Stephen Chow. ”
There's nothing wrong with that! He did imitate Shi Banyu instead of Zhou Xingchi, Who was not a funny person in his life, but he deliberately imitated the voice of Shi Banyu, the royal voice of Zhou Xingchi.
Song Dandan, on the other hand, believes that Zhang Shiyu has drilled into a dead end: "You think that after you learn zhou Xingchi's fur, you can run to comedy, I think this is a misunderstanding." And Liu Yiwei felt that Zhang Shiyu spoke too quickly; "Sometimes we can't hear what you say." The last four mentors brushed Zhang Shiyu with four red lights, and this "fake star master" also left the stage of "Smiling Proud of the River".
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > a combination of Zhang Shiyu and Stephen Chow's royal voices</h1>
"The Fake President of the Dragon Set King" invited 6 royal supporting roles that Zhou Xingchi had used in previous movies, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Qiongdan, Huang Yifei, Huang Yishan, Zhang Quanegg, Li Jianren and Cheng Dong, as well as the famous composer Gao Jin, as long as you have seen Zhou Xingchi, I believe you will certainly not be unfamiliar with these actors.
"The Counterfeit President of the Dragon Suit King"
They have played supporting roles to varying degrees in many Chow Sing Chi's classic nonsense style comedy films such as "Kung Fu", "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", "Nine Pin Sesame Officer", "Journey to the West", "Domestic LingLing Lacquer", "Trickster Expert", "Gambler", "The King of New Comedy" and so on.

They are the royal supporting roles and regulars of the Stephen Chow series of movies, as soon as they come out, they make our eyes light up, making us feel as if we are back to the childhood era of chasing Hong Kong films, and our youth is back!

"The Fake President of the Dragon Suit King" tells the story of zhang Shiyu's imitation of Zhou Xingchi's dragon suit actor, who is pretentious on the set, and thinks of becoming a big star without working hard all day, but he can never get rid of the fate of running the dragon suit.
It wasn't until an opportunity to impersonate the "president" found him that he had a chance to become the protagonist, and then because of this identity, he strayed into a conspiracy and a series of stories occurred.
The director of this movie was surprised to invite Stephen Chow's royal voice Shi Banyu, and he himself made a cameo appearance in the movie, if you don't look at the appearance of the protagonist Zhang Shiyu, plus Chow Sing Chi's royal Chinese dubbing, plus a number of Chow Sing Chi's supporting roles, let you feel that this is basically like a classic "nonsense" comedy of Chow Sing Chi.
But the result of this online movie is surprisingly bad, Zhang Shiyu played the classic characters and films played by Zhou Xingchi again, such as Ling Lingqi, Wei Xiaobao, Gamble Sheng and so on.
Although Zhang Shiyu has Chow Sing Chi's royal voice Shi Banyu blessing he also did his best to perform the effect of nonsense comedy, helplessly, he is Zhang Shiyu, not Chow Sing Chi, with "Chow Sing Chi's tone" can not save the bad film, he, a Zhou Xingchi imitator, is still unable to perform Chow Sing Chi's nonsense.
Shi Banyu
Stephen Chow's royal voice shi Banyu surprise cameo
Zhang Shiyu starred in many nonsense comedy movies produced by the Internet University, and all of them were Chow Sing Chi's nonsense comedies, which had no shortage of Chow Sing Chi's royal supporting roles and Shi Banyu dubbed Zhang Shiyu, but they were all bad films, Zhang Shiyu awkwardly imitated Zhou Xingchi, making people look embarrassed or even disgusted, and it was impossible to achieve the effect of Zhou Xingchi's performance.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > the nonsense comedy of Shi Banyu and Stephen Chow</h1>
Stephen Chow broke the Hong Kong box office record in 1992 with "Gamble Saint" with a box office of more than 41 million, and he eventually became popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the voice of "Gamble Saint" at that time was not Shi Banyu, who was just an unknown voice actor at that time. His voice is sharp, impure, not a good voice actor embryo, usually not a bad guy, or a eunuch, lacking decent representatives.
The king of comedy - Stephen Chow
In 1990, Stephen Chow and Andy Lau co-starred in "The Gambler", when the market for Hong Kong films was mainly Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Therefore, in order to make Taiwan understand Cantonese, it is necessary to Chinese dubbing, because Xingye speaks Cantonese, and Yongsheng Film Company, as the producer, urgently needs a Mandarin dubbing.
So Xiang Huaqiang wanted to find a funny voice actor, and the voice could not be similar to Andy Lau's voice, and it was necessary to form a contrast. By chance, he finally found Shi Banyu, who began to voice Zhou Xingchi for the first time in the movie "Gambler", but Zhou Xingchi did not like Shi Banyu's dubbing, and Zhou Xingchi initially shirked it, but after the film was released in Taiwan, the effect was very good. Shi Banyu's exaggerated voice and Last Week's star-studded performance can be said to be seamless and just right.
Shi Banyu, formerly known as Shi Renmao, born in 1961 in Taiwan, is a veteran voice actor. Shi Banyu began to engage in dubbing work in 1983, and began to become the royal Chinese dubbing of Stephen Chow in 1990, the two cooperated in a total of 28 films, the two worked together to create countless classics, Shi Banyu also slowly found the characteristics of Stephen Chow's performance, from "Gambler" in 1990 to "Yangtze River Seven" in 2008 They cooperated for 18 years.
The King of Comedy = Stephen Chow ≠ Shi Banyu
Many of us who have watched Stephen Chow's films may say that the reason why Stephen Chow can become the recognized king of comedy is that in addition to his own good acting skills, Shi Banyu's witty and humorous voice must account for at least half of the credit, is this really the case?
Nonsense comedy can be without Shi Banyu, but it cannot be without Zhou Xingchi, if Zhou Xingchi and Shi Banyu are more famous, there is no doubt that it is Zhou Xingchi.
Released in 1992, "The Inquisitor" did not use Shi Banyu's voice because of the inflammation of Shi Banyu's throat, but without his voice, this Chow Xingchi film is still successful, Chinese dubbing does not feel embarrassed at all, the comedic effect is no less than Shi Banyu, especially in the film Song Shijie helped people to judge the wrong case, the scene that shedds a tear has become a classic.
"The Inquisitor"
"The Inquisitor" sold for HK$49.88 million in Hong Kong, breaking stephen Chow's own box office record of HK$48.92 million for "92 Happy Events" to win the hong Kong annual box office championship. Zhou Xingchi won the Asia-Pacific Film Emperor Award with "The Inquisitor", and his fame and fortune were both obtained.
It turns out that without Shi Banyu's Chinese dubbing, Stephen Chow's comedy can still achieve high box office revenue. Some people also say that this movie is not very funny compared to Wang Jing's Zhou Xingchi film, because the director is Du Qifeng, and what he is good at is the fatalism in the movie, so there is a tragic color in the film.
《Jigong》
In 1995, Du Qifeng and Zhou Xingchi joined forces again, "Jigong" is like this, not very funny, more about the fate of people.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > Zhou Xingchi without Shi Banyu is still the king of comedy</h1>
Since his debut, Shi Banyu has voiced more than 300 film and television works, and his main dubbing works are "The Legend of the New White Lady": Li Gongfu, White Ape Immortal Officer, "Super School Overlord" Jacky Cheung's broom head, and the more famous "Ancient Puzzle Boy" series: Pheasant, Crow, Yao Ge, Situ Haonan.
Brother Crow - Zhang Yaoyang
In addition to the above characters, huo Tingen in "Jingwu Hero", Yan Dun Wang in "Sword and Laughter", Wen Ugly in "The Wind and clouds dominate the world", sun Wukong in the TVB version of "Journey to the West" and other classic characters are all voiced by Shi Banyu.
Shi Banyu has dubbed for many people, but why is it that only Zhou Xingchi, who is voiced by him, has become a comedy superstar? Zhang Shiyu is also voiced by Shi Banyu Why is he not on fire? I think dubbing is only one aspect, or acting is more important.
Stephen chow
The acting skills of the actors play a major role in the film, and the voice actors are only foils and play a role in polishing. Like Hong Kong movies released in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, each Hong Kong actor has a relatively fixed Chinese voice actors to dub it, such as Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Chow Sing Chi, Andy Lau, Jet Li, Leung Ka Fai, etc., they rarely change voice actors for the sake of the Chinese market outside Hong Kong, or even do not change.

You carefully watch Shi Banyu's early film with Stephen Chow, originally in the Cantonese soundtrack, Stephen Chow was very emotional, and Shi Banyu's Chinese dubbing felt that there was no emotion, only making people feel mean, he just made Stephen Chow's movie more funny, not emotional.
At the beginning of Zhou Xingchi's own directorship, it is obvious that in the later films of Zhou Xingchi, such as "The King of Comedy", "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River Seven", Shi Banyu's role is very small, there is no room for play, and his voice is getting stronger and stronger. You even hate his voice so much.
If you compare the Cantonese version, you can find that the gap between Shi Banyu's lines and Zhou Xingchi himself is still relatively obvious, zhou Xingchi's own original voice is more low and explosive, And Shi Banyu's too extroverted and exaggerated, often do not know how to "receive".
Shi Banyu as a Taiwanese, he sometimes faced the lines in Stephen Chow's movies, he did not understand the meaning of Chow Sing Chi Cantonese, originally Chow Sing Chi said cantonese soundtrack both funny and explosive, Chow Xing Chi did not deliberately say the lines in order to be funny and very playful, and Shi Banyu as a Taiwanese, he had to consider Taiwan's Hong Kong film market, the Hong Kong movies of the 90s of the last century were very popular, Hong Kong at that time had the name of Oriental Hollywood, and the main import of Hong Kong films in Taiwan was also Hong Kong movies. Hong Kong films are very popular in the Taiwan market, which is also the main market for Hong Kong films, in addition to Southeast Asia.
Therefore, in order to consider the Taiwan market, Shi Banyu let Stephen Chow's movies sell better in Taiwan, so that Taiwanese people can understand Cantonese, he will deliberately make Stephen Chow's lines funny, for example, Chow Sing-chi's Cantonese lines are: You go first. I'm here to play football. Shi Banyu changed: You go first. I'm here to kick the ball drops. It always feels mean and hilarious.

But Shi Banyu did not understand cantonese stems, and many Cantonese stems he could not use translation, he could only think about changing them himself. This lost the soul of Cantonese, inexplicably lowered the charm of Zhou Xingchi's voice, but improved his own voice charm. When we look at Chinese, we will find that some of Chow Sing Chi's film works do not match the subtitles and dubbing, and there is a Xiang character in the name of the pair general next to King Ning in Cantonese in "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", so the nickname is Xiang Xiang, and the Chinese version is to wear intestines, which is where Shi Banyu changed.
"Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang"
In the late 1990s and early 21st centuries, Stephen Chow was already very skilled at nonsense performances, while Shi Banyu's acting skills did not keep up with Xingye's footsteps. This also caused many people to think that after Zhou Xingchi became a director, Zhou Xingchi compressed his own funny scenes a lot, and his movies you think he is getting less and less funny, and Shi Banyu has no room to play, and Zhou Xingchi, who is a director, is no longer a funny protagonist, but a protagonist of supporting roles.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > Shi Banyu's voice can't save the bad movie</h1>
With Zhou Xingchi's royal Chinese dubbing can not save the bad film, Zhang Shiyu and Shi Banyu's cooperation in the film is simply a disaster, Zhang Shiyu blindly and bluntly imitates Zhou Xingchi, did not work the acting lines, it is also futile, and then from the scene costume props makeup to the editing of the shots, etc. These post-work, etc., are very chaotic. The story is not made up, and even if the director invites actors and voices from the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, it will not save this bad film.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > there is only one Zhou Xingchi, and There are many Shi Banyu</h1>
The lines of the movie "The Fake President of the Dragon Set King" are not deep, and it is very embarrassing to watch, although the voice of Shi Banyu will remind people of the various movies of Xingye, but it will be very awkward to put in this movie.
Zhou Xingchi has only one, Shi Banyu can have many, and Xingye is not a title that can be had only by dubbing. Whether Shi Banyu made Zhou Xingchi shi Banyu or Shi Banyu made Zhou Xingchi, I think we have the answer in our hearts. #Film & TV Zanos##Entertainment ##知影计划 #
