Zhou Xingchi is a childhood memory of the generation born in the 80s and 90s, and his nonsensical comedy is deeply loved by the audience. As Stephen Chow grows old, now that the generations born in the 80s and 90s when they grow up, because they miss these beautiful memories of childhood, they regard Stephen Chow comedy as a feeling. In childhood, I watched pirated CDs of Stephen Chow's movies, so many people felt that they owed Stephen Chow a movie ticket, and they always wanted to find an opportunity to make up for it.
On February 8, 2016, director Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" was released in the mainland. Many people seized the opportunity to rush to the cinema to make up for the movie ticket owed to Zhou Xingchi. However, some viewers who watched this film found that the filming was not as good as expected.
So some people began to discuss: "Mermaid" is a bad film Stephen Chow is only suitable for being an actor, not suitable for director Stephen Chow, and a series of comments expressing disappointment to Stephen Chow. And Stephen Chow’s loyal fans have always believed in Stephen Chow’s movies, but the audience did not understand them, and they would not feel bad when they understood them, but would call them classics! And there will be such a comment, it is derived from the "Western Journey".
When "A Westward Journey" was first released, the box office could be described as terrible. This situation made Zhou Xingchi doubt his ability. However, after a few years, "A Westward Journey" suddenly became popular, and the audience who understood it realized that they had not understood it. Indeed, at first glance at "Journey to the West", I felt messy and unreasonable, but when you really understood it, you realized that the supreme treasure in it turned out to be the real you, and I couldn't help feeling sad! "Western Journey" is therefore regarded as a classic!
However, "Mermaid", which was released in 2016 under the theme of environmental protection, is really a bad film as the audience said? It's not necessarily true! 1. From the perspective of environmental protection, the rich are preparing to carry out reclamation projects in order to develop real estate, which will naturally destroy the local ecology. Although the mermaid is a fictional creature, it actually represents any kind of creature in reality. And through the mermaid, a creature that is not much different from human beings, to reflect the impact of ecological destruction on creatures in the natural world, humans can experience that feeling more deeply. Including the following rich man Liu Xuan's desperate behavior to save the mermaid species is also very infectious.
And the reason why many viewers said that they did not see the theme of environmental protection, it is estimated that the mermaid is a fictitious creature. As long as the audience regards mermaid as any kind of creature in reality, it is not difficult to see that "Mermaid" is actually an environmentally-themed movie! 2. From the point of view of the smile, "Mermaid" has always maintained a nonsensical style, whether it is talking, acting, or smiling. For example, when Liu Xuan played by Deng Chao went to the police station to report the incident, I almost didn't laugh at the paragraph between the article and Li Shangzheng! Mr. Liu, we have all undergone strict training, no matter how funny we are, we will not laugh unless we can’t help it!
So no matter how you look at it, "Mermaid" will not be a bad film, and why would the audience say it is bad? I analyzed it briefly. 1. Feelings are too heavy and expectations are too high. This colorful society is no longer the era when the entire village had a color TV.
However, in any case, Zhou Xingchi's movie is still not bad compared to other movies released in the same period. However, it is not as good as the previous movie!
