Among the many films starring Stephen Chow, "Domestic Lingling Paint" is the top three films in my heart, and I am convinced of this.
"Domestic Ling Ling Lacquer" is a comedy action film released in 1994, directed by Stephen Chow and Li Lizhi, starring Stephen Chow, Yuen Wing Yee, Luo Jiaying and others. In a seemingly absurd way, the film tells the story of Ling Lingqi tracking down a valuable dinosaur skull.
I don't think I need to say more about the classicity of this film, and everyone here will definitely have more say than I do. Zhou Xingchi's Ling Lingqi, Yuan Yongyi's Li Xiangqin, Luo Jiaying's Da Vinci, Huang Jinjiang's Golden Gunner, Chen Baolian's Cold Female Killer, etc., have long become classic film and television images in the audience's minds with the changes of the years. And memes such as "I hope you can call my full name Da Vinci, OKAY, Vinci", "Dry Martini" and so on, are even more talked about by netizens to this day.
Friends who are familiar with Xingye know that in his films, many clips have paid tribute to the classic film and television works of the past. For example, the famous "I hope to be ten thousand years" in "Journey to the West", in fact, the earliest source is from a monologue by Jin Chengwu in Wong Kar-wai's film "Chongqing Forest"; the clip in "The King of Comedy" in which Chow Sing Chi says "I raise you" to Cecilia Cheung, the inspiration is derived from the classic clip of Kimura Takuya saying goodbye to Tomoko Yamaguchi in the Japanese drama "Long Holiday", and even the soundtrack is the same; as for the male protagonist's final martial artist style in "Kung Fu", you want to say that he is not paying tribute to Bruce Lee, and I don't believe it.
The same phenomenon is still applicable in "Domestic Lingling Paint", and in fact, the "tribute clips" of "Domestic Lingling Paint" can be said to be only a lot more than films such as "Journey to the West" and "The King of Comedy", and some classic tribute clips may not be known until today.
First of all, we know from the title that the film is a full-fledged "007" parody. Since its release in 1962, the 007 series of films has been loved by countless fans and has endured for decades. And "Domestic Lingling Paint" pays tribute to the 007 movie, we can see it from the opening film segment, but "Domestic Lingling Paint" is a funny version.
Although it borrows from 007 movies, it is clear that "Domestic Lingling Paint" is not limited to it, but has taken another shortcut and created a style of its own.
In addition, the film also pays tribute to two classic films of Wong Kar-wai. For example, the scene where Ling Lingqi blows his hair is a parody of Liang Chaowei combing his hair in "The Legend of Ah Fei"; and Zhou Xingchi slowly raises a cup of Dry Martini at the pork stall, which is easily reminiscent of the scene of Liang Chaowei drinking coffee in "Chongqing Forest".
Not only Wong Kar-wai, but also the famous director Er Dongsheng's film "New Love" has also been homaged by "Domestic Lingling Paint". Many people should remember the clip of Yuan Yongyi feeding the dog in "Domestic Lingling Paint", and this clip, in fact, as early as a year ago (1993), has already appeared in "New Love", and coincidentally, the heroine of the dog feeding the dog is Yuan Yongyi.
Although many of Star Ye's films are inspired by other films, he is not bound to the framework of others, but let these clips shine in his own films, which has to be said to be a skill.
