has different opinions on who can better represent Hong Kong movies, but when it comes to influence, it is not Stephen Chow or Jackie Chan. Needless to say, because of their extremely strong personal characteristics, both of them are leaders in their respective segments, above the peak. , No one else. Their films have affected generations of people, so back to the question itself, who can represent Hong Kong films? The real answer is that both of them are representatives of Hong Kong movies. The difference is:
Jackie Chan represents the breadth of Hong Kong movies, and Stephen Chow represents the depth of Hong Kong movies!
said that they are both representatives of Hong Kong movies because they both made indelible contributions to Hong Kong movies!
Jackie Chan is the second internationally renowned superstar in Hong Kong film after Bruce Lee. He spread Chinese Kung Fu to the world through films, and his influence is unmatched. It is precisely because of his brilliant performance that he has attracted the attention of Hollywood. Investing in Hong Kong is a small place, so that a large group of Hong Kong action film professionals can be more easily recognized by Hollywood. Without Jackie Chan, the process would not be so smooth. So, who is not the representative of Hong Kong film? All over the world!
and Stephen Chow’s films have a more strong Hong Kong social customs. He pays more attention to the unyielding fate of small people under the tide of the times, which coincides with the trajectory of Hong Kong’s urban development. Although the initial conditions are difficult, self-reliance and self-reliance are finally presented to the audience. It is that most people can feel the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, warm feelings, and various life styles. The same movie of his movie and the same person at different ages will have different feelings!
Therefore, judging from the style and connotation of their respective works, both can represent Hong Kong movies! But we must also say that the two people's styles are too personal, so the movie audiences of the two are still different. The result of these differences is that the angles and directions they represent are different!
Jackie Chan also represents the breadth of Hong Kong movies.
Jackie Chan is world-renowned for his dedication and hard work. No one admires the dangerous shots in his works, and Jackie Chan does his own work. Even with safety measures, the risk is still very high! How high is it? The fate of domestic insurance companies is willing to underwrite insurance. One of the most typical shots is the high-altitude jump in "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother". When the movie came out, many people thought it was a stunt, but it was not at all! Because shooting on the mountain, there was no suitable equipment to hang Wia in that environment!
It is precisely because of his hard work and dedication that Jackie Chan finally resounded internationally, but I have to say that his flaw is that his character type is too thin, and his routines are basically the same. They are all upgraded types of monsters. His contribution to the film lies more in visuals. Effectiveness and professionalism, and these are easier for international audiences to accept, so we said that Jackie Chan represents the breadth of Hong Kong movies!
Stephen Chow represents the depth of Hong Kong movies
, while the characteristics of Stephen Chow’s films are more spiritual core, using comedy to wrap up the sorrows and joys of the little people under the trend of the times, and with a strong combination of sorrows and joys, it touches the softest part in people’s hearts. Very powerful. Many of his films and ideas are ahead of the times, so many of his films often take a long time to ferment! For example, the famous "Journey to the West"!
However, because the characteristic culture of nonsensical culture can only be best understood by the Chinese, compared with Jackie Chan, many connotations of Stephen Chow's movies cannot be understood by foreigners at all. His movies are more realistic for ordinary people! Many of those episodes of laughter with tears are unforgettable for a long time. So we say that Stephen Chow can better represent the depth of Hong Kong movies!
Because of the different levels of expression and angle of emphasis, Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow's films present completely different styles. One can better represent the breadth of Hong Kong movies, and the other can better represent the depth of Hong Kong movies. Both are the pinnacles of Hong Kong movies!
