Last time we talked about the heroine E Jingwen of "The New King of Comedy".

Unexpectedly, everyone suspected Sir’s sexual orientation.

You all know the relationship between Sir and Stephen Chow. Sir admitted that he really has endless things to say about Stephen Chow's movie.

Regardless of rationality or love, hope is rational.

Whether it is good or bad, I hope it is good.

But more people’s feelings towards “Stephen Chow” seem to be becoming more and more extreme.

If you say he is good, you will praise him; if you say he is bad, you will criticize him.

When the first trailer of "The New King of Comedy" was released, almost everyone on the Internet was scolding -

"It must be a bad movie"; "Another money trap" "; "Shameless"...

Sir is a little puzzled:

Stephen Chow, when did the reputation get so bad?

Of course, today we are no longer like before, always treating people as gods. Sir agrees with this self-requirement of not being a dog licker.

But there is also a question: on the way to avoid being a licking dog, will you accidentally fall into the other extreme - the "spot mentality".

Stephen Chow has certainly been confused and lost.

But we can still see his passion for movies without any effort.

Before this person makes a film, he must first pass his own level.

Before the movie is released, he would rather you underestimate it and misunderstand it.

The same goes for "The New King of Comedy", which has been criticized since the first trailer.

Last week, it released its second trailer.

Compared with the first one, this trailer has a lot of "real fragrance warnings".

Netizens saw the effect as follows:

As a result, two factions have formed a dispute over this movie -

One faction is Stephen Chow's "old age".

One group is Stephen Chow's "return theory".

They speculated that he had returned to the low-level stories he liked before, which were not fun or exciting, but were heart-wrenching.

So, who guessed Master Xing correctly?

I am happy to tell you that Sir has just interviewed Wang Baoqiang and Stephen Chow.

Before the interview, it is necessary to watch the new version of the trailer again -

To say it is old, it still tastes old.

In this trailer, we can find many shadows of Stephen Chow's past.

For example, Zhou paid tribute.

The opening, such a shot.

Bathroom, blonde hair, naked woman, murder scene.

An obvious nod to Hitchcock's classic thriller "Psycho."

Stephen Chow used to like to pay homage to thrillers.

"Kung Fu" opens the door and blood flows, paying tribute to "The Shining".

The look of "Return to Soul Night" pays tribute to "This Killer Isn't Too Cold".

In "Family Happiness", Maggie Cheung takes care of Stephen Chow in the hospital bed, paying tribute to "Ten Days of Danger".

"The Judge", the style pays homage to "The Silence of the Lambs".

In addition to paying tribute, there are many "Stephen Chow memes" in the trailer of "The New King of Comedy".

I have to mention here that what upset the audience the most was the foot stamping in the first trailer.

It can be said that it concentrates all the black spots of "The New King of Comedy" this time.

The one who stepped on was still the same person, Tian Qiwen.

To this end, Sir specifically asked Stephen Chow the question you all want to ask:

Are you getting old? Can't think of a new joke?

He said that choosing old memes was just an Easter egg for old fans.

The message I want to convey is: "You who miss the King of Comedy can still get what you want."

By the way, there are other classic Zhou jokes. .

For example, the "Xiaoqiang-style" little people can't be driven away no matter how hard they are driven away.

For example, you will never be able to figure out the nonsensical punchline of the routine.

This kind of angry reaction, which was completely blind, and "uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh" was actually chosen! ?

But some people do this!

Stephen Chow’s casting also returned to the past requirements.

Sir once thought that Stephen Chow had joined the "Appearance Association" because the protagonists in his "Mermaid" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Monster" were all looking to be beautiful and handsome.

Mr. Xing said, I misunderstood, it was all role needs... For example, this time, we need an "unbeautiful" one.

No, a bunch of bad ones.

To be honest, training a non-comedian is not Stephen Chow’s forte.

If an actor has not developed his sense of humor, then he will look awkward in Stephen Chow's tension-filled scenes and stories.

At this time, Stephen Chow had to go off stage personally, demonstrate how to perform, and then ask the actors to imitate.

As a result, he acted once and the actor imitated once.

It is inevitable that there will be a lot of dissonance in imitation.

So this time in "The New King of Comedy", he chose all "unattractive" comedians.

Just like the ridiculous sentence in the trailer:

He has no figure, skin, and a mole on his butt

Look, it’s not an exaggeration at all. ——

Baby, there is no other meaning haha

Why choose them?

The answer is simple, it is the needs of the plot and the needs of the characters.

Beautiful people can show the beauty of life.

The second reason is that there is no baggage.

To perform a comedy well, the first thing to do is to get rid of your baggage.

Only actors who are not that good-looking don’t bring their own baggage.

Because... the baggage has long been torn off by life——

If you know a little about Stephen Chow, you will find that Wang Baoqiang’s experience actually has a lot of *** Song nature.

Because of the buzz, the transmission speed of emotion is as powerful as a virus.

Speaking of the story of "The New King of Comedy".

Stephen Chow once had a creative proposition that he could not let go of and was the best at -

Inequality.

From 2010 onwards, his films often created extreme contrasts of inequality.

For example, the beginning of "Yangtze River No. 7".

The dirty hands sewing shoes suddenly touched the Mercedes-Benz logo.

In "Kung Fu", there are also the revelers of the Ax Gang and the "unknowing" of the Pig Cage Walled City.

Another example is "The King of Comedy", the wonderful "script-grabbing" scene between the producer who easily took away the opportunity, and Yin Tianchou who finally got the opportunity.

Is it similar to what Wang Baoqiang said before, when he once picked up a resume that was thrown in the trash can?

Good movies are like this - different time and space, reality and plot can coincide like this.

These expressions of inequality have indeed gradually become less common after Stephen Chow truly became the king of comedy.

However, in the 2019 "New King of Comedy", I really want Sir to say:

The senior brother is back!

As mentioned before, the on-site director complained about the actor's "ugliness" to his face without mercy.

Just like in this audition scene, the casting director is well-dressed and trying his best to undermine the self-esteem of the supporting actor from beginning to end...

Only Stephen Chow can create this kind of tension. .

In order to obtain this kind of tension, Stephen Chow tried his best more than thirty years ago.

Speaking of which, here comes the biggest problem.

If we say, "The New King of Comedy" still tells the story of Stephen Chow more than thirty years ago.

Don't even say thirty years ago, just pretend it's a retelling of "The King of Comedy" from 1998 with a different gender.

Then, what’s the need to see it?

"The New King of Comedy", where are you "new"?

Perhaps, the hidden clues in the trailer can inspire a little bit of our imagination——

This time we saw that Stephen Chow seemed to be talking about something else.

For example, "parents".

In his later films, except for "Yangtze River No. 7", the word "parents" is often absent.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Kung Fu", "Shaolin Football", "The King of Comedy"...the protagonists in these movies almost never mentioned the emotions of their parents.

It can even be said that in many of Stephen Chow’s movies, the word “parent” is used as a curse.

This time, my parents really stood up and cursed me hahaha.

But the undertone of swearing is obvious at a glance, it is family affection.

Of course, there is also Stephen Chow’s new understanding of “part-player” and “inspirational”.

In his eyes, Yin Tianchou was not worthy of success.

Stephen Chow: The Yin Tien Chiu in "The King of Comedy" was still the supporting actor in the end. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, he was unsuccessful.

I used to talk about it from a more realistic perspective: How could he be successful if he was just a sidekick?

Sir believes that it is precisely because of this desire to protect real tragedies that Stephen Chow did not want to laugh at Yin Tianchou's pain.

Instead, choose to expose it truly and cruelly.

Stephen Chow has changed a bit now.

So, even in the trailer, you can still see a lot of tragedy.

After the tragic and sensational public emotional points, Stephen Chow used his best 10,000 points of bottom damage to bring out the sense of comedy that makes us cry but have no tears but to laugh.

2018 is the year of victory for "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "The Unknown Man". They prove that the fist of the little guy has once again grasped the Chinese screen.

Maybe Stephen Chow wants to go back to the old path he pioneered -

The path of diaosi.

In other words, the lonely road of struggle that is not understood.

If you still suspect that Stephen Chow wants to make money, what is there to doubt...

Doesn’t Stephen Chow like money?

But Sir truly believes that he has long understood life and has long wanted to understand. He just wants to make your money responsibly and does not want to cheat you of a movie ticket with some sentiment.

What makes Sir always trust him is that in addition to box office, he seems to have some "special personal needs".

And it was said inadvertently... something hidden in the words.

It can be heard that this idea has been mulling over in my mind for a long time.

An old dream that I have had for decades, I want to connect some new dreams together.

Stephen Chow is old.

Old people are always embarrassed to say that there is still a soft and tender place in their hearts.

Although old people have a mature mentality, they always miss the struggles and thrills of the past.

"I think it's better to look back."

He finally said.

"The New King of Comedy", Sir wants to see him "turn around".
