Even if you are reluctant to leave, there will be a farewell.
Goodbye, Stephen Chow ; goodbye, King of comedy , Hong Kong movies have bid farewell to the "nonsense" era.
This itself is an era that is used to saying goodbye. An actor who carries the memories of several generations has occupied our regrets in a "alternative" way in a blink of an eye.
Since ancient times, there are many affectionate things and only people come and go. People are used to forgetting, because we have been tempered into steel and forged a pair of iron and stone hearts, and life has long allowed us to be sad. It’s like watching Stephen Chow’s movie, she shed tears in this clip, and laughed happily in another clip. Life is like a play, and play is like a life.
Recently, Stephen Chow touched the hearts of movie fans because of two things.
One of them, some media revealed that Stephen Chow failed to bet against with the new culture film and television company and was recovered for 841 million yuan.
Secondly, Stephen Chow, who was deeply involved in the "debt collection storm", appeared and announced that entered the online movie market in the form of video, bluntly saying that and a certain streaming media platform have in-depth cooperation .
After these two news about Stephen Chow were exposed, Sister Ba quickly went to Douban to check Stephen Chow's film and television works: I don't know when, but the release time of " Mermaid 2" and "Kung Fu 2" that were originally expected to be released in 2021 has been adjusted to 2022, "Monkey King" was postponed to 2023, and "Tai Chi" was postponed to 2025.
In other words, Stephen Chow will have no film and television works released this year.
We combined with the emergency rescue of Stephen Chow's ex-girlfriend Yu Wenfeng and " Xing Chow " to mortgage a luxury house for emergency treatment, it can be almost concluded that Stephen Chow is now in a financial crisis!
In this way, it is very easy for us to look back and understand Stephen Chow’s entry into the Internet market.
But because of this, Stephen Chow will definitely not be the former Stephen Chow, and the king of comedy will definitely not be the former king of comedy. Hong Kong movies will completely bid farewell to the "nonsense" era. Below
, Sister Ba will analyze the reasons for you.
First of all, the online movie market is mixed, and Hong Kong actors are all in a state of "not adapting to the local environment".
After the strong rise of the mainland film and television market, the Internet is in full swing. Because the Internet's development is too rapid, the works are full of mud and sand, and it is difficult to find good movies.
Let's not take " example " such as "Hao Lie", "Hidden Corner", " Psychological Crime ", "Handle Corner", " Psychological Crime ", "Look at the " Universal " of the works of actors who have worked with Stephen Chow: Xu Shaoqiang has been in about ten online majors in recent years, and none of them have exceeded 5 points, and more than half of them have been "no score yet"; Huang Yishan has been in about fifteen online majors in recent years, and Douban's average score is less than 4 points, and more than half are "no score yet"; let's take a look at the online major works of Stephen Chow's old partners in recent years, such as Huang Yifei , Luo Jiaying , etc., all of them are like this.
In fact, not only are the actors who have worked with Stephen Chow showing a "failure to adapt to the local environment", but the same is true for other Hong Kong actors. For example, Qian Xiaohao, , , , , , , , , , and others, who once set off a craze for fantasy zombie films, have now been trapped in the "quagmire" of the Internet market and cannot extricate themselves.
The reason is: on the one hand, it is because the adjustment between Hong Kong actors and mainland actors is not enough, which leads to the lack of tacit understanding between the two sides; on the other hand, it is because the Internet is mostly using the employment model of "new mainland actors as the protagonists and senior Hong Kong actors as supporting roles", which leads to "top-heavy" and frequent situations.
Currently, Stephen Chow only directs but not acts. Can he go far on the Internet?
Secondly, Stephen Chow emphasizes the creation method of "slow work produces meticulous work", and it is difficult to cater to the fast pace of the Internet. Compared with theater movies, the biggest feature is that it is low cost, short creative cycle and fast shooting progress.
According to Stephen Chow's creative methods in the past, it is difficult to cater to the Internet University's creative methods. Stephen Chow does not make changes, which increases investment and extends the creative cycle. For the platform, it may not be agreed; if Stephen Chow makes changes, it may be difficult to ensure the quality of the works. As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and it is easy to "be unsafe in the later years". Will the streaming
streaming platform give Stephen Chow enough creative space, creative time and creative funds?
Then, Stephen Chow's influence and appeal in the film and television market are continuing to decline.
Let’s follow the time point. Personally, I think that the millennium is the watershed of Stephen Chow’s acting career: before the millennium, the emergence of a movie "King of Comedy" proves to the world that Stephen Chow is still Stephen Chow! But after the millennium, Stephen Chow's influence and appeal continued to decline. If Stephen Chow's "power" was not diminished when filming " Shaolin Football " and "Kung Fu", then by " God of Cookery " and " Yangtze River No. 7 ", Stephen Chow was already at the end of his strength; finally, when "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West Subduing Demons" and "Mermaid", Stephen Chow seemed to have "finished his talents". In addition to box office, he could not win movies in the same period, and his reputation also declined severely. "New King of Comedy" scored 5.7 points on Douban, and "Journey to the West Subduing Demons" scored 5.5 points on Douban.
Can Stephen Chow rejuvenate his second spring in the Internet market?
Finally, the review mechanism of movies is becoming more and more strict, and the "nonsense" creative space is becoming increasingly narrow.
The movie that Stephen Chow truly made his name with "nonsense" was "He comes from the Jianghu". At that time, it was 0,000 Ziliang under tremendous pressure and "forced" that Stephen Chow and Ng Mengda "improvised" and became the king of comedy.
The peak of "nonsense" was in the early 1990s, when Hong Kong's film rating system had just emerged and romantic films had just left the stage of history. The Hong Kong film market urgently needed a new type of film to boost morale, so Stephen Chow made it possible. Let’s look at it later on. Can many large-scale plots in Stephen Chow’s movies pass the review mechanism in those years be reviewed under today’s film review mechanism?
So, we can clearly see that after entering the mainland market, Stephen Chow's creation is becoming more and more cautious, and there are fewer and fewer "nonsense" elements in the movie. When it comes to "The New King of Comedy" and "The Mermaid", many people think they are no longer "nonsense" movies.
At the same time, the only master of "nonsense" is Stephen Chow. Whether he uses Huang Bo , Deng Chao , or Wu Yifan, or Luo Zhixiang , he did not perform the "nonsense" effect in the end.
Nowadays, Stephen Chow only directs but not acts, so where is there any "nonsense"?
The movie review mechanism is becoming more and more strict today, so where is there any room for "nonsense" to play?
As the saying goes, time means fate; time means luck!
A few years ago, mainland film and television companies invited Dilon to remake " Heroes' True Colors ".
Dilon said sadly: "It's impossible, where do you go to find me another Leslie Cheung ?"
A few years later, the mainland streaming media platform invited Stephen Chow to shoot the Internet. Where do you go to find another Ng Mengda for him?
The talented people in the circle have emerged, and they have been leading the way for three or five years.
Even if he is as talented as Stephen Chow, he is destined to be unable to deal with every generation of audiences - he is naturally a secret interaction!
Time is a constant after all, after all, feelings can still be sold.
Finally, goodbye, Stephen Chow; goodbye, the king of comedy.
Goodbye, youth.
