Stephen Chow is a product paranoid?

Recently about Stephen Chow's character crusade is underway, followed by comments and posts are basically good tens of thousands of. However, Stephen Chow film is still in full swing, his new film called "Mermaid", the draft has 120,000 people to sign up.

Stephen Chow is very aware of what is the key, that is: products. Stephen Chow is also a product of paranoia:

1, paranoid pursuit of new meaning, comedy, the pain point is innovative. Stephen Chow said: The audience will never tire of any drama, only tired of no new and no sincerity of the drama, all, there is new ideas how important, especially in comedy.

2, the details of the master. Stephen Chow on the film every second soundtrack is very concerned about, Chen Zhenyu recalls: "For example, Liang played the first appearance of the Fire Cloud Demon, in a mental hospital, holding a newspaper squatting in the toilet, just a 5-second shot, but Chow must use a Moscow music, he does not know the name, but will give us clues, let us go to, Buy the copyright back. ”

3, the movie inventor. What is Stephen Chow's most obvious label, following Stephen Chow years of Weida Deep gave the answer is-inventors-he invented countless new film shows. Stephen Chow in the mainland "Seal God", and even become a cultural phenomenon, is relying on Chow Chi "invention" of a film "Dahua West Tour", the box office was a fiasco.

After the box-office success of the "tour of the West", the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2013 sent a solicitation to Stephen Chow, of course, he refused. In the past 10 years, his public appearances, basically with the new film propaganda binding, and external relations, both unfamiliar and professional.

The organizing Committee then passed the information, I hope Stephen Chow even if not to participate, can also provide a briefing to show in the film Festival. Stephen Chow's assistant Chen Zhenyu told our correspondent: "At that time, the team prepared him three versions, the focus is different, one is his performance as an actor, one of his films to obtain the box office results, one is his performance as a director." "Only wait for Stephen Chow to finalize." "But he has not been able to get down, to the deadline given by the organizing committee, we are very worried, 16:55 P.M., he called to say," film workers "these five words. "Chen Zhenyu recalls," I asked him, behind it? "he said. I froze for almost 5 seconds and said, I know. Chen Zhenyu hurriedly called the organizing committee. "I told them that they reacted the same way to the filmmakers," asked the man. I said no. Then, they also Leng, reaction came over, said a cow! "

Stephen Chow's efforts, and people's interest in him, seems to be always misplaced.

As an actor, Stephen Chow starred in more than 50 films, leaving a series of unusual roles for Xiaobao, Ling Ling, Yin Tianxi, and the supreme treasure. He was particularly earnest about his acting and his understanding of comedy. However, when there is no fame, people are not interested to listen, after becoming famous, people do not have the patience to listen. The Academy of Hong Kong films, until "Shaolin football", felt that he was not eligible to go in. Maybe it's the paranoid paranoia in his films, maybe people think it's too much of a thing to be funny. "Shaolin Football" awards, in fact, is more like a compromise on the market, the downturn for many years in Hong Kong movies, too need a dose of strong heart needles.

As a director, Chow tries to master the story, presenting a different understanding of comedy, emphasizing the team and group, weakening their own in the image of the play. The result raises questions about whether the traditional taste of Hong Kong films should be entrenched, or whether it should be geared towards a wider market and a new era of high technology. But serious discussion is more curious about his character and his personal life. His input and control of every detail of the film, finally generalized into a "difficult to engage" feeling. It seems that even in a film discussion, his temper is more important than his talent.

As the box office "myth", Stephen Chow has been in Hong Kong for more than 20 years of record, although the decline in production, but the record has been constantly refreshed. But the commentary has been harsh, and for 20 years, he has been asserting that he is going to be too angry.

Stephen Chow in Hong Kong by virtue of the box office to become a star, and in the mainland, is through the "Dahua West Tour" completed "Seal God." Researcher Yiwu The phenomenon, he said: "Stephen Chow's" Dahua Tour "and a series of interesting films are surprisingly incredible to provide in the market economy and the era of globalization to grow the love of a generation. For them, Stephen Chow is not only an obsession with the object, but also their QQ or MSN dialogue in the language framework. This makes Chow incredibly beyond the funny role in Hong Kong culture and becomes a symbol of the new youth culture in the mainland. "Chow language is characterized by his unique logic and the reversal of the conventional and ridicule." ...... This reversal allows feelings to be made easier to express in a distorted way, so that what turns out to be overly romantic and exaggerated is easier to accept because of the irony of the fragment. He has found new forms of language for the generation of Internet consumers. The biggest feature of this form is just the logic. This just caters to the culture of the internet age, the divergence and multiplicity of the internet requirements and the original emotional logic and thinking logic of different things, every day on the internet to try and unfamiliar with the same generation of people to do close communication with a little bit of emotion, but this feeling in the case of strangers, if it is too disgusting, Stephen Chow just filled in this blank. ”

But Stephen Chow was sober. Whether it is to belittle or look up, he seems to have been cultivation to not be trapped, can be at any time to push through the dislocation of the disturbance, return to their position: "I am not an artist, but a film-making person." "He does not deny that he loves money, love to make money, but he is also very clear, love movies." As a leader, he has more room and more unknown talent, such as sensitivity to music and rhythm. Chen Zhenyu said: "He is too powerful, a second and a half seconds of the difference can be heard." "This judgment is" Kung Fu "soundtrack Huang Yinghua made. "Kung Fu" the opening song is Stephen Chow's own creation, he hummed melody, Huang Yinghua spectrum into a song, and then repeatedly modified, Huang Yinghua change a second half seconds, Stephen Chow can hear, Huang Yinghua feel very strange, many times to Chen Zhenyu sigh: "How can he hear!" He is so keen on music that even professional musicians are not necessarily. Stephen Chow is very concerned about every second soundtrack in the movie, Chen Zhenyu recalls: For example, Liang played the first appearance of the Fire Cloud Demon, in a mental hospital, holding a newspaper squatting in the toilet, just a 5-second shot, but Chow must use a Moscow music, he does not know the name, but will give us clues, let us go to, Buy the copyright back. ”

Stephen Chow is not willing to cooperate with people's imagination, successful box office and commercial operation has already let him have no worries, he can more and more angular, become his own. What is wrong with the audiences who do not expect him to do the same, nor are they keen on his private life, and only look forward to the laughter and moving of his works? At least he has always ensured that he can show something different. Stephen Chow's next work, will be the 2016 new film "Mermaid." On the ground up thunder, suddenly out of his new round of character denunciation, "mermaid" Draft is in the mammoth, there are 120,000 people to sign up.

This is Stephen Chow, whether you like it or not, he has been a unique presence in the world of light and shadow, his box-office appeal, but also continue.
