I never hide that I am a fan of Stephen Chow, and I have seen almost all of Star Ye's movies, and more than once.
There are many stories of small people in Xingye's movies, living at the bottom of society, being ridiculed and ridiculed, but they all have dreams, and finally through struggle, complete the counterattack of life.
When I was a child, I watched Star Ye's movies as comedies, laughed heartily, laughed until my stomach hurt, and when I grew up, I watched it again, although I would laugh, but I laughed with tears and my heart would hurt.
If one day the clown cries, will you think he's being funny?
Xingye's films are always very meaningful, which may be related to his experience, from a small person at the bottom of Hong Kong to a movie star and director step by step, becoming a well-deserved "king of comedy" in the hearts of our generation.
Today, Uncle Ha will give you a classic work of Amway Star Ye: "The King of Comedy", this movie can be said to be the autobiographical style of Star Ye, which has a lot of his shadow.
Whether you're having a good or bad time now, no matter how busy you are, I hope you take the time to take a look, especially when you don't know why you're trying hard and can't keep going.
At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist Yin Tianqiu shouted at the sea: Hard! struggle!
Yin Tianqiu is a completely small person, running dragon sets in the crew, and has the dream of being an actor.
The walls of the dilapidated room are plastered with posters of idols, and a person often holds "The Self-Cultivation of Actors" to watch, calls the aunt of the crew, and strives for the opportunity of each role.
On the set, Yin Tianqiu broke into trouble, and when he left, he wanted to go to receive a box lunch, but he was humiliated by the uncle of the field manager (played by Wu Mengda), who snatched the box lunch in his hand and threw it to the dog on the side to eat, loudly insulting:, you are a, life is cheaper than ants...
On the way to chasing dreams, unsatisfactory, incomprehensible, external ridicule and insults always seem to follow.
A friend next to me talked about the reason why he had drifted north for eight years and still stayed.
She said, here I met friends who have a common topic, although they come from all over the world, they understand you and will not treat you as a monster when they hear you talk about your dreams.
I don't know if it's ridiculous to talk about dreams in this era, but as Hoshiya later said in the movie "Kung Fu Soccer": If people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish.
Speaking of this movie, there are a lot of interesting plots in it, but in fact, there are stories behind it.
Yin Tianqiu played a dead body on the set, and as a result, the lead actor Cuckoo Er (played by Karen Mok) had killed everyone, posed, and when he was ready to cut, Yin Tianqiu was still dangling there, brewing emotions about how to die, and the result was scolded by the director and the lead actor.
In fact, this bridge section is real, when Xingye was still a dragon set actor, in the TV series "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", he played a group performance that was killed by Mei Chaofeng's slap, and he went to the assistant director to discuss whether he could die in the second palm.
In the movie "The King of Comedy", there is also a rare appearance of such a big coffee as Jackie Chan, who shows Yin Tianqiu how to play a dead body that has been shot.
That's because at that time, Xingye and Jackie Chan were filming in Saigon at the same time, and Jackie Chan was filming "Glass Bottle", and the two made cameos to each other's respective sets.
There is also an interesting bridge section:
That was the second time that Zhou Xingchi was temporarily arrested to perform a group performance, also to play a dead body, this time, he died very well, lying there without moving at all.
The lead actor Cuckoo encountered a cockroach during the filming process, was frightened, and then everyone on the set went up to help, the cockroach jumped to Yin Tianqiu lying on the ground, the gang stepped on it, but Yin Tianqiu who was lying on the ground never moved, and then the cockroach caught it, and the director forgot to stop just now.
Cuckoo Asked Yin Tianqiu, who stood up, why don't you hide?
He said that it was because the director did not shout to stop, and since I was playing a dead body, of course I could not move.
Cuckoo was touched by his profession and said to him: "After that, you will follow me to work."
In fact, this is also a real story, the protagonist of the story is called Tian Qiwen, known as Tian Ji, which is the guy with the pained teeth grinning above.
When Xingye was filming "Nine Pin Sesame Officer", there was a scene in which Xingye mischievously clipped clips on his body, but Tian Qiwen did not move.
Until after the play was over, Zhou Xingchi asked him: Don't you hurt?
Tian Qiwen said: It hurts, but I don't shout to stop every day, and I don't move for a day.
Then, Zhou Xingchi said to Tian Qiwen the same sentence that Cuckoo said to Yin Tianqiu in the movie: After you follow me to work.
When it comes to Star Ye's movie, there are always a lot of words, a little messy, seriously back to this movie.
Yin Tianqiu told others that he was an actor.
Due to business needs, Liu Piaopiao (played by Cecilia Cheung), a stage lady who came to learn acting, always likes to add a 'die' in front of his line: You are a dead runner.
The two did not seem to be on the same channel, but they sparked love, she became his only audience, he became her harbor, and this man with evasive eyes let her see tenderness.
In the most miserable days of his life, he met the same miserable girl, a dragon runner, a lady sitting on the stage, both of them were extremely inferior, one had no money, was a poor egg, and the other was a prostitute, doing things that could not see the light.
When the two spent the night together, Yin Tianqiu took out all the money on his body, plus the watch and put it next to Liu Piaopiao.
This move, perhaps out of the man's self-esteem, slept with the lady to give money, even if I mixed up badly, at that time they had not yet broken through the layer of window paper.
And Liu Piaopiao, naturally received the money, and said: Thank you, boss.
In front of Yin Tianqiu, Liu Piaopiao was very jealous of him looking at himself as a lady, so at this moment her heart was very hurt, so she would say such professional words.
Liu Piaopiao left, and Yin Tianqiu asked her, are you going to work?
That's right!
Is it okay not to go to work?
Don't go to work, you raise me/
Yin Tianqiu smiled bitterly and did not speak, he knew that he had no money and could not afford to raise it, but he still chased liu piao out of the door and plucked up enough courage to say: I will raise you.
Liu Piaopiao smiled and said, first feed yourself, fool.
Turning around, tears streaming down her face, crying in the end, she was still between her own identity, and felt that people like her did not deserve love.
The saddest thing about a man is to meet someone he wants to take care of most of his life at the most powerless age.
Many people think that the ending of this movie is not perfect, Yin Tianqiu worked so hard, and finally still did not come out on the road of actor, still a small person.
In fact, he had the opportunity to become a big star, and Cuckoo was interested in him, so he promoted him to become the male protagonist of the next movie.
In the face of fame and love, Yin Tianqiu chose love.
Liu Piaopiao asked him, was it true that you said last time to raise me?
yes!
I think this is where the "King of Comedy" classic is, and in the end, although Yin Tianqiu did not become a big star, he was loyal to his choice.
Not all efforts will eventually come to fruition, hard work is an attitude to life, and most importantly, we don't miss some important people and things, this is life.
When you feel very confused and tired now, don't give up your efforts, and don't give up something that is difficult to have if you miss it.
Life is not only meritorious, but also sincere.
I like a dialogue in the movie where the two sit by the sea:
Look, it's pitch black ahead, and you can't see anything.
No, it will be beautiful after dawn.
The sky will always be bright, please stick to it!
Time flies, the years are hurried, in the blink of an eye 20 years have passed, the star boy who was once a star has become a star, a green silk has become today's full hair, and 1999's "King of Comedy" has a follow-up.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Xingye's "The King of New Comedy" will be released, and when the time comes, he will definitely take his family to the cinema to see it, for feelings, for dreams, for small people, for hard work, and for himself.
Strive!
