Stephen Chow's classic film "The God of Cookery " was recently re-released. This was the first time the film was released in mainland China in 28 years, but the box office results were not satisfactory.

Some people think that the so-called "movie tickets owed to Mr. Xing" are just a promotional and marketing strategy by the film studio and will no longer stimulate emotional demand. Moreover, looking back at the film "The God of Cookery" over a long period of time, we can find many loopholes and areas worthy of judgment. From the current perspective, the disenchantment of Stephen Chow's comedies seems inevitable.

In 1996, "The God of Cookery", written, directed and acted by Stephen Chow, was released. It tells the story of the God of Cookery Stephen Chow (played by Stephen Chow) who fell from the altar and regained his fighting spirit with the help of the street sister Big Turkey ( Karen Mok ). story. The film quickly became popular in East Asia after its release and became another Stephen Chow classic comedy. After 28 years, "The God of Cookery" has been re-released, and it is the latest restored version, available in Mandarin and Cantonese.

Viewers said that they saw something different after watching "God of Cookery" again. When I was a kid watching "The God of Cookery", I focused on the cooking skills, the ecstasy rice, and the pissing beef balls that can be played as table tennis balls. Now watching "The God of Cookery", what I can see is the warmth and warmth of human relationships, the ups and downs of world affairs, and the optimism when encountering the trough of life.

However, the film’s market performance was not ideal. On the first day of its re-release, "God of Cookery" accounted for 4.7% of the film schedule, and was mostly scheduled in prime time. However, it only received 2.653 million in the first-day box office, accounting for 2.2% of the overall box office. There was a serious inversion between the film schedule and the box office. In the three days since its re-release, the box office of "God of Cookery" has been less than 4.5 million, which is considered a setback for the market.

After 28 years, "The God of Cookery", which was once praised by everyone, made some viewers question it. First of all, some people think that the plot does not respect women very much. The turkey sister played by Karen Mok goes through the story of an ugly girl turning around. When she regains her appearance, she and the male protagonist get together as they wish. When watching the film back then, audiences would have thought it was a reasonable and romantic story, but judging it from today's perspective is full of appearance discrimination. Moreover, many viewers born after 2000 and 2005 said that they could not get the nonsensical laughs in the film and only found it exaggerated and vulgar.

Stephen Chow's classic film has been questioned, and his new film cannot escape criticism. The first short play "Golden Pig and Jade Leaves" launched by the short drama label "9527 Theater" run by Stephen Chow received a mediocre response. Netizens questioned its "frivolous rice" and "just bad money". Ever since the 2019 " New Comedy King " achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success, Stephen Chow seems to have never gained unanimous recognition from the audience.

Audiences born in the 1980s and 1990s feel that Stephen Chow's new works are no longer the same as before, while audiences born in the 00s and 05s have no imprint of Stephen Chow's comedy in their childhood memories, and they cannot accept this kind of self-deprecating deconstruction, which is full of offense and vulgarity.
