Speaking of Stephen Chow's comedy films, the first thing that comes to mind must be "The King of Comedy", but in fact, this is still his later work, as early as 1994, Zhou Xingchi and Li Lizhi directed "Domestic Lingling Paint", which is also the first time that Stephen Chow appeared as a director and actor.
"Domestic LingLing Paint", the film is directed by Stephen Chow and Li Lizhi, and starring Stephen Chow, Yuan Yongyi, Luo Jiaying and so on.
The film tells the story of Ling Lingqi, a reserve state agent, who rushed to Hong Kong to carry out the task of recovering the tyrannical dragon skull from the hands of the gang leader Golden Gunner, and finally used his actions to impress Li Xiangqin, a female agent under the Golden GunMan who originally confronted him, and successfully completed the task...

Ling Lingqi (Zhou Xingchi), a famous agent of the past generation, was abandoned by his superiors for ten years and became a pork vendor.
He can only chop pork with his first-class knifeman every day, drink a drink of dry martine to get by, and wait with the mood that he can be reused by the country to change his fate.
Just when the villain Golden Gunner steals the dinosaur skeleton, resulting in Ling Lingyi's sacrifice, the commander decides to send Ling Lingqi to retrieve the dinosaur skull.
Da Wenxi (Luo Jiaying), who is also a lonely agent, relays the mission to Ling Lingqi and invents various crazy weapon props for him. Ling Lingqi arrives in Hong Kong according to the clues and meets with the contact person, Li Xiangqin (Yuen Wing Yee).
Li Xiangqin, the daughter of the traitor Li Xianglan, was adopted by the Golden Gunner since childhood, and trained to become a killer, ostensibly cooperating with Ling Lingqi to complete the task, but in fact, all kinds of deliberate attempts to kill Ling Lingqi.
In the play, her various bridges that were accidentally injured by herself will definitely make everyone laugh.
The two of them later searched for clues in the suspect rich businessman Lai Youwei's residence, but encountered a group of people attacking, Ling Lingqi was shot and injured, but he suddenly found that the bullets in his body belonged to Li Xiangqin, and realized that Li Xiangqin was the killer sent by the Golden Gunner, but after experiencing the battle of birth and death, they developed feelings, and Li Xiangqin turned to cooperate with Ling Lingqi.
Later, the identity of the Golden Gunner was revealed, and he turned out to be the southern general who assigned Ling Lingqi to Hong Kong. At the end of the story, Ling Lingqi used his superb meat knife skills to eliminate the Golden Gunner.
In fact, this is the first cooperation between Luo Jiaying and Zhou Xingchi, or was deceived, at the beginning Luo Jiaying was unwilling to star in Stephen Chow's films, thinking that it was detrimental to his own image, Luo Jiaying was still a famous Cantonese opera performance artist at that time. At first, Zhou Xingchi fooled Luo Jiaying and said that he played a scientist.
But I didn't expect that the scene was actually playing a mental illness, but it was this role that made Luo Jiaying really fire. Later, he played a neurotic Tang monk with Zhou Xingchi in "Journey to the West", which is also the most different Tang monk, which made him angry again, and he could not afford to buy a suite when he was a performance artist earlier, and since cooperating with Zhou Xingchi, he has even bought three suites.
This film can be said to be the pinnacle of Stephen Chow's nonsensical performance, and many of the lines and shots can now be called classics. The three words of Stephen Chow have become synonymous with comedy in the minds of the audience. It is reported that Stephen Chow will go out of the mountains again, and the self-directed and self-acting movie "Kung Fu 2" will be broadcast in 2022, which is still worth looking forward to.
There are often nonsense in the film industry, but so far they have not surpassed Stephen Chow's classics, and comedy works have changed year by year, but movies similar to "Domestic Lingling Paint" are basically extinct, which movie do you think Chow Xingchi is the best to watch? The comment area can tell the editor that we will continue to discuss it next time.
