After many years, Stephen Chow made a surprise return with the theme of "Shaolin", arousing the enthusiasm and expectations of movie fans. News of his new work "Shaolin Girls" has been exposed again and is expected to be released in 2025. As soon as the news of
came out, it immediately became the focus of heated discussion. This work not only carries the regrets of Stephen Chow's "masterpiece" "Shaolin Football", but also makes the audience full of expectations for another innovative attempt by this comedy genius.
Back in 2002, the national football team was still in its prime moment. In the years leading up to 2002, the national football team had shown amazing results in many games in Asia.
Ever since, Zhou Xingchi, who has always been patriotic, created the magical work "Shaolin Football" with the theme of "football". Once it came out, it quickly became popular all over the country, making people proud.
However, what is worrying is: Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" seems to have a "magic curse". Since the release of " Youth Soccer ", the national football team has begun to decline, all the way downhill. Not only has
never been able to claim the No. 1 spot in Asia, but even after more than 20 years of development, today's national football team is already... at the lower-middle level in Asia, let alone reaching the "invincible posture" presented by Stephen Chow in the drama. Even the "level" of the late 1990s and around the turn of the millennium cannot be maintained and reproduced, which is disappointing.
It is precisely because the national football team continues to disappoint that even Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Football" has become a joke.
In recent years, the women's football team has suddenly risen, constantly showing its charm on the world stage, and once aspired to be the first in Asia. Such achievements have surpassed the peak period of the men's football team. It is because of this that Stephen Chow gave birth to What went into creating Women’s Football.
In terms of plot, "Shaolin Women's Football" boldly introduces professional players and innovatively depicts the story of Zhao Lina, the national goalkeeper of the women's football team in the restricted area of the Shaolin Temple, and the Shaolin monks pursuing their football dreams together.
Zhao Lina will play herself in the film. In order to break the traditional barriers, with her love and talent for football, she faces the test of the first master in the temple, and finally wins the recognition of the monks of the Shaolin Temple, and joins hands to form the "Shaolin Women's Football Team" to compete in international competitions. March.
After experiencing hardships, they finally used unity and faith to overcome obstacles and realize their dreams, presenting the audience with a story full of inspiration and emotion.
Stephen Chow's previous works have always been known for their combination of comedy and inspiration. This time, he once again set his sights on the football community, but replaced the "national football team" with "women's football team".
Over the years, Stephen Chow has never forgotten to stick to his dreams and integrate the pursuit of dreams into the plot as a major element. This idea not only gives the movie a new meaning, but also brings more levels of resonance and enlightenment to the audience.
In terms of the cast, the appearance of the national women’s football team Zhao Lina is a highlight. As an outstanding athlete who has repeatedly won great achievements in international football, her true identity and role positioning perfectly combine the reality and drama of the movie, injecting unique vitality into "Shaolin Women's Football".
The news that "Shaolin Girls" will be released in 2025 has undoubtedly ignited the enthusiasm of movie fans. Stephen Chow has always been praised for his iconic humor and keen insight into society. This new work will definitely continue this style and create a visual feast full of whimsy and touching.
Whether it is from the perspective of the production team, theme innovation, or story structure, this movie is worth looking forward to.
I just hope that this time, Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Women's Football" can go to the world's number one throne together with "Women's Football", creating a true double harvest of film and television and reality, instead of a "curse" state: after the highs, there are all the troughs.
