Due to the competition between Stephen Chow's directorial work "The King of New Comedy" and Wu Mengda's participation in the movie "The Wandering Earth" in the mainland spring festival this year, the past and future cooperation topics between Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda have triggered a wave of new discussions. In the minds of many people, Wu Mengda seems to be inseparable from Zhou Xingchi, in fact, this is not the case, Wu Mengda became famous earlier than Zhou Xingchi, and the movies he made were far more than Zhou Xingchi. Here we have selected 8 works by Wu Mengda "detached" from Zhou Xingchi, each of which is worth seeing.
1. "The Biography of Leiluo" 7.7 points (the score comes from Douban, the same below)

2. "Heavenly Love" 8.1 points
The director of this film is Chen Musheng, at that time he had not yet made "Stormtrooper's Fury Street", so the director's style was more wandering, and this "Heavenly Love" was actually more like the style of the early works of executive producer Du Qifeng, with strong tragic colors and even a little sensationalism. Wu Mengda played the underworld gangster Taibao in the film, and with this role, he won the Hong Kong Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, which is also the only important award in Uncle Da's acting career.

In addition to the two "New Oolong Courtyard", Wu Mengda's subsequent cooperation with Zhu Yanping's "Stinky Fart King", "Truancy" and "Comic King" are all works of this style.
4. "Nerve Knife and Flying Cat" 6.6 points
Different from the martial arts films of Xu Ke, Cheng Xiaodong and others, they completely take the comedy route, do not pay attention to logic, and even do not pay attention to discipline, and everything is aimed at laughter.

6. "Urban Love" 8.1 points
The reason why director Liu Zhenwei was able to make a perfect combination of love and nonsense like "Journey to the West" is because he played many love films in his early years, he was the producer of "East Evil west poison" and "Fallen Angel", and he also directed pure love films such as "Heaven and Earth" and "Urban Love".

8. "Fuse News Line" 6.9 points
Based on the TV series of the same name, the plot is a bit like the Korean film "Horror Live" and the Hollywood movie "Money Monster", but without these two movies, "Fuse News Line" has stronger practical significance, the plot is somewhat depressing, and Uncle Da's old look in the film makes people look a little uncomfortable.
In addition to the above-mentioned uncle Da's works, Uncle Da's participation in the movies worth watching, there are many, many, such as "Dancing with the Dragon", "Gang Head Fuxing", "Beauty Robbery", "Gambler", "Water Margin Laughter", "Huang Feihong Laughing", "Black Prison Broken Intestine Song", etc., are all works of memory, even if there is no Star Master, he is still Uncle Da, you say?
