<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > Zhou Xingchi's "Shaolin Football" banned in the mainland, is it really just because of the word "Shaolin"? </h1>
"Shaolin Soccer" is a comedy film written and directed by Stephen Chow on July 12, 2001, released in Hong Kong, China, and was originally going to be released simultaneously in the mainland, but "Shaolin Soccer" was really banned only because the Shaolin Temple did not comply with the word "Shaolin", and it did not pass the trial and could not be broadcast in the mainland? Let's look at the essence through the surface today.
It is true that "Shaolin Football", I have watched it no less than 5 times, there is no place in the plot that denigrates Shaolin, but shows the feelings of shaolin kung fu to save Chinese football, and the whole movie is very inspirational, which to a certain extent also promotes shaolin kung fu martial arts, the actors in the play are familiar with the Shaolin kung fu to show Shaolin martial arts, and there is no excessive exaggeration. According to the reason, such a movie that promotes Shaolin Kung Fu, the Shaolin Temple is not stingy enough to ban a movie for the sake of the word "Shaolin". This is a bit unscientific for China, which is already relatively open.
Hong Kong in 2001 is already China's Hong Kong, Hong Kong movies can be reviewed in Hong Kong, that in the mainland, the problem is not big, with Chow Sing-chi's fame, and everyone's love for him, banning "Shaolin Football" from playing in the mainland is very unscientific.
The final reason should be the final plot of "Shaolin Soccer", Shaolin Soccer VS Devils. The Devils bribed everyone from top to bottom, from spectators to judges, to tournament organizers, to referees and everyone except Shaolin soccer, and even used banned drugs on the court. Do you feel that these plots are very similar to the Chinese Football Association exposed later, the national football team plays match-fixing, the plot of betting on the ball is very much, may not be as exaggerated as in the movie, but the problem of showing each ball is combined, it is a devil team. Although Zhou Xingchi is unintentional, the FA listener is intentional, he is afraid that such a plot will make us think of the FA.
"Shaolin Soccer" is banned in mainland theaters, the Shaolin Temple is just a pot man, and everyone just rounds up the reason for the ban. The real murderer should be...
