“I didn’t know what the song meant when I first heard it, but when I listened to it again, it was the end. The thoughts in the song are still there, and I don’t see the person in the dream.”

Mr. Xing and his The process that movies probably go through is the two sentences above. If we narrow the scope further, the more precise positioning should be: Xingye and his movies are sought after by most fans and audiences, but they cannot please those Professional selection agencies and film critics did not change this until many years later.

There is such a line in "Ouchi Secret Agent Ling Lingfa" in 1996, which happened between Ling Lingfa and Fa Yin.

Ling Lingfa: I watched the scene from beginning to end. It looked like a top-notch work. You can see it. How could you give the award to that person?

Fayin: You are not bad, but you are superficial, expressive, and a bit exaggerated

Ling Lingfa: Those are the worldly people's opinions of me. Don't you think so too? Don’t you know the goods?

Fayin: You don’t know how to act!

After saying the last sentence, Fayin put his palm on Linglingfa's shoulder, with a faint smile on his face. In fact, throughout the performance, the expressions of Linglingfa and Fayin were He is always relaxed and smiling, giving people the impression that he means something.

The reason lies in the design of this paragraph, which is more of Star Master making fun of the so-called authorities at the "Academy Awards". His movements were very similar to those of the big guys who would always smile and say politely: "You are very good too, but your expression is just superficial", and then turned around and awarded the award to others.

Before the release of "The Secret Agent" in 1996, Stephen Chow was nominated for the Academy Awards six times, but failed every time. In those years, Stephen Chow was the box office guarantee and popularity of the entire Hong Kong film industry. His reputation is top-notch, but he can't impress the judges. In addition, the judges always like to say when there is no competition to judge: Stephen Chow is a once-in-a-century talented actor, but they always say something else when awarding the award at the end. One way of saying it is: "You don't understand acting", just like the line in "Westward Journey", "I used to call her Xiao Tiantian when I looked at the moon, but now I call her Mrs. Niu", so Stephen Chow designed that in a very subtle way. Everyone understands the meaning of this paragraph.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. In these five years, Stephen Chow's achievements at the Academy Awards have been even worse. In addition to being nominated for Best Actor for "Westward Journey" in 1996, he has also been nominated for gold medals. There are no awards-worthy works.

It was not until the 2001 "Shaolin Soccer" that changed that it was the film that brought him the most honors in Xingye's entire film career. It was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won 7 in the end. The entire Academy Awards jury seemed to want to give Stephen Chow all the honors they had "owed" in the past.

In addition to the Hong Kong Film Awards, "Shaolin Soccer" also stands out in the selection of other film awards in Hong Kong. Afterwards, it swept through major movies from Japan to the United States, and was even selected by the American "Times" Magazine" named "One of the 25 Best Sports Movies in the World"...

Stephen Chow's second movie "Kung Fu" after "Shaolin Soccer", to some extent, once again reproduced "Kung Fu". The glory of "Shaolin Football" was nominated for 16 Academy Awards and won 6 awards, becoming another bumper harvest in Stephen Chow's career.

After two consecutive films, Stephen Chow seems to have "enlightened" or the Academy Awards judges have "enlightened".

After "Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River No. 7", it became a masterpiece. After entering the 21st century, Stephen Chow has only starred in these three films.

These three works are all going through a similar process on the mainstream film review platform "Douban", but one has already been released and has become a classic, and the other two are still in the stage of slowly climbing up and becoming popular. It's "Kung Fu".

The score of "Kung Fu" has been rising from the first moment it was logged into "Douban". In 2009, I remember that the Douban score was only 7.9, but now it has reached 8.4, and it has been shortlisted for "Douban" 250 Movies Ranking", ranking 183rd.

"Yangtze River No. 7" now has a score of 6.7, which is one of the lower-rated films among Xingye's many movies. However, it has also increased a lot from the 6.2 score at the time. We passed the "Douban Short Review" You can see the clues in the latest comments, which are as follows:

Most of the new people who rate "Yangtze River No. 7" have four stars, and the comparison score is about 7.5 upwards. I believe that it will be in the near future. In the future, "Yangtze River No. 7" will also steadily climb.

?And "Shaolin Football" has gone from 7.6 in January at the beginning of the year to 7.8 today, an increase of 0.2 points in ten months.

Stephen Chow's movies are like a jar of old wine. The longer it goes by, the better it tastes, and in the end it will sparkle like gold.
