From actor to director, after Stephen Chow, why is there no peak in comedy movies?

Zhou Xingchi's later works still have some shortcomings. If he has always been a director, he may be able to express his thoughts more intuitively and deeply. For ordinary people, his thoughts go too far, and his shooting techniques are not enough to support his film philosophy. Maybe one day he will be remembered as a new genre of Lipai, but he is an actor, not a director. Zhou Xingchi’s mind is a quasi-master, but his technical expression can’t keep up, so he is entangled and demanding. He always feels that there is a better way, but he can’t find it. However, he has special skills in the art industry, and his brain power is limited. , And because of his personality problems, he can’t afford a special team. I think even if he is used to being the master, even if he meets a master partner who can appreciate and tolerate him, he is not a spark, but a fight for the right to speak, so it is likely to stop being excellent. , It's a pity.

Zhou Xingchi no longer acts in movies because there is no suitable role for him. Maybe he can't feel the same at his age. He used to be young and casual, but now he may be old and can't talk about it. The star is really old. I couldn't find the feeling of my own comedian, and finally played an old father. In fact, Stephen Chow's movie protagonist and supporting actors should all use Hong Kong actors to meet the connotation of Zhou's comedy. The biggest failure of "Tang Bohu Spots the Autumn Fragrance" was the wrong choice of the mainland heroine Gong Li. Although Gong Li was very famous at the beginning, each of the actors in the movie was very skilled, and Gong Li's incompetence was the biggest failure.

​​Only Zhou Xingshi can be called an "artist" in Hong Kong. He has created a kind of "nonsensical" performance, which is accepted by everyone. This situation also contains a lot of public sentiment. Each stage of life has a different perception, which has affected the childhood, youth and youth of several generations. When I was happy, I thought of Zhou's movies. Sadness, love, broken love, dreams, failure, walking, dancing, cursing, picking up girls and so on are all impressive. Aren’t these elements a true portrayal of the people’s hearts? These are not the things of the people's spiritual life. Isn't such an "artist" worthy of our respect?

Directors and screenwriters from Hong Kong can't come to the mainland. It's normal, and it's not normal to sell. Up to now, there are still many high-quality films in Hong Kong, but they cannot be shown on the mainland. One of the characteristics of Hong Kong directors is that they have to perform on the spot. In many cases, the scripts produced are very different from the original scripts. Some directors have no scripts, and the Hong Kong film industry is also very upset by this set. In the past, Stephen Chow was shooting in this way. Such movies often come out with unexpected effects and better details. When you come to China to make a movie, the script has to go through trial, and all kinds of rules, good people cannot die, bad people must go to jail, there are no ghosts in the world. Movies are creative craftsmanship, and there are too many restrictions. When it comes to creation, domestic movies are all modeled, and I guess the end after reading the beginning. After the filming is finished, it needs to be reviewed before it can be filmed. Under these conditions, Hong Kong directors and screenwriters will not be able to shoot directly, and hard shooting will only be awkward.

In the past, Master Xing was an actor and others were directors; now Master Xing is a director and others are actors. Although Xing Ye is a star comedian, he is not a comedy director. Although he wants to make comedies, he is not a comedy. Stephen Chow has always been very good and excellent, but the actor can’t understand his ideas and can’t express it. It’s like having a very good dream. The dream is strange, but this dream is very abstract when it is told to others, and others cannot understand. Unimaginable, this is the gap. Stephen Chow's movie is the pinnacle of black humor, and there are tears in laughter. Although you can't throw all the pot on the actors, but comedy is really not everyone can play.
