1990 gambling saint
1990 after Stephen Chow played a series of younger brothers, thieves, hooligans and villains,
The Stills of "Gambling Saint" (4 photos) are based on the new film "Gambling Saint" by director Liu Zhenwei, playing a successful Jianghu gangster. This film was originally a follow-up to the first year's box office champion "God of Gambling", and it was a low-cost crash film. But with the cooperation of talented directors and talented actors, an amazing spark broke out. Its fascinating plot, exaggerated and funny details, fresh elements that fit the characteristics of the times, and Stephen Chow's unique performance style made a sensation in Hong Kong, with a box office of 465,438+0.32 million, breaking the box office record since Hong Kong opened its port, and Stephen Chow himself won the Oscar for the first time. In the same year, director Jing Wong, who is good at capturing business opportunities, invited Stephen Chow to co-produce the film Gambling Man, which earned 40.3 million yuan at the box office, and tied with Gambling Saint as the champion and runner-up in the box office list. In this short period of six months, Stephen Chow became the most sought-after movie star, and his nickname changed from "Star Boy" to "Star Master". A person's success seems sudden, but there is always a line that can only be found after careful exploration. Stephen Chow waited for many years, and finally he got a movie that could make him give full play, and his role image and personality were very suitable. He has fully released his accumulated artistic exploration, life accumulation, performance skills, personal feelings, ambitions and passions in every shot of every work, which makes him have a distinct Stephen Chow style with different works of different directors, and can make the audience have a high sense of intimacy and identity. Although the film is mixed, it is all branded with his actions. 199 1 Stephen Chow changed the image of a gangster in the past, played an undercover detective in the movie Truant, and then broke the box office record. The other two works also entered the top ten of the box office list. From 65438 to 0992, Stephen Chow occupied seven seats in the top ten box office charts, and the top five were all his works. Moreover, with Judge Death, he won the Best Actor Award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, once again breaking the box office record. This year is called "Stephen Chow Year" by the film industry. After 1993 won the box office championship for the fourth time in a row, Stephen Chow was no longer satisfied with joking just to cater to the audience's needs. His works more and more reflect the author's humanistic concern and thinking about life and world ideals. Although many viewers are not used to this tearful way of laughing, and the immature exploration often makes the film look neither fish nor fowl, the level fluctuates, but these efforts also make Stephen Chow gradually realize. 1995, the Moonlight Box of Journey to the West, which was painstakingly created by Stephen Chow and Liu Zhenwei, was released in issue10/kloc-0, and The Fairy of Journey to the West was released in two parts. At that time, the box office response was bleak, but in the following years, with the rampant piracy market and the popularity of the internet, it became popular in the mainland, becoming one of the classic films with the highest evaluation among young audiences in the mainland, and even affected it to some extent. Stephen Chow also walked into the lecture hall of Peking University in the puzzled eyes of Hong Kong people, although he frankly admitted that he knew little about the aura given to him by audiences such as "postmodern deconstructionists". In the late 1990s, Stephen Chow gradually reduced his production and took part in film creation, and was officially listed as producer, screenwriter and director for many times. King of comedy is a work that clearly conveys Stephen Chow's life sentiment. Yin Tianchou's bitter pursuit of movie dreams, his bleak love with Neither of us is Happy-the willow fluttering at the end of the day, and his persistent repetition of "Actually, I am an actor" all make the audience feel more shocked and sad while smiling. This movie made Stephen Chow win the box office title again, and also made the newcomer Cecilia Cheung emerge. However, in the film critics, there are different opinions. Some viewers are disappointed with Stephen Chow, because Stephen Chow, who is relaxed and lively and has no scheming, is obviously unable to come back.
200 1 shaolin soccer
200 1 After two years of painstaking production, Stephen Chow released the first truly "Stephen Chow's Works" shaolin soccer. The more mature interpretation, deeper connotation, the fresh combination of football and kung fu, and the rare large-scale production in Hong Kong local films all make it the most concerned work in China film industry. At that time, the Hong Kong film market, which was facing a life-and-death crisis, set off a film frenzy, setting a miracle record of more than 6,654,380+million box office. It seems that the Hong Kong film industry didn't realize until now that it decided to give a statement to this talented superstar who broke the Hong Kong box office record four times, won the annual box office championship six times, ranked twenty-nine works in the top ten blockbuster movies of the year, and was nominated for the performance award of the Academy Awards eight times but never won the prize. At this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, "shaolin soccer" won 14 nominations and finally won 7 awards. Stephen Chow made four appearances and won the Best Film Award, Best Director Award, Best Actor Award and Outstanding Young Director Award, which became a miracle in the history of the Academy Awards. Zhang Minyi, an award-winning guest and a senior official of the Hong Kong Government, said a meaningful sentence when giving Stephen Chow the award: "I am very happy to award this award to you, because you have made many Hong Kong people laugh when they are unhappy."
Kung fu in 2004
Two years after the Kung Fu stills (65,438+02), Stephen Chow was dormant again until his new work Kung Fu was released in 2004. This time, instead of focusing on individual performances, he devoted himself more to teamwork and the overall creation of the film, which made the film more profound and powerful, and broke through the barriers of Hong Kong culture more obviously, full of reverence and compassion for human nature. Kung fu is popular not only in the Chinese world, but also in overseas markets. Once released, it broke the record of China films, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan Province Province and Hong Kong. At the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards held the following year, Kung Fu won an unprecedented nomination of 16. Although Stephen Chow himself was defeated in the competition for best director and best actor, he succeeded in winning Kung Fu as the most important award for the best film of the year. Even Dong Shengyi, who won the best director at that time, said that he thought the best director was Stephen Chow. Unfortunately, the judging system is different, and Master Xing missed this award.
Changjiang No.7 in 2008
On June 30th, 2008, No.7 Yangtze River was released, which was Stephen Chow's painstaking work for three years after Kung Fu in 2004. Han Sanping and Stephen Chow, the bosses of China Film Group, were the chief producers. In addition, Stephen Chow is the producer, producer, screenwriter, director and starring of the film. Inspired by the Shenzhou manned spaceship, this film is divided into three parts: science fiction, comedy and warmth. From the first work 20 years ago to the Yangtze River No.7 today, Stephen Chow, the most popular "alien" in Hong Kong's film circle, sublimated the "nonsense" film that was originally just a spark in Hong Kong into a cultural phenomenon. Now, Stephen Chow comes back with warm fatherly love and laughter, and once again uses "Changjiang No.7" to explain his film spirit with tears in his laughter-simplicity, laughter and moving.
No.7 Stills of the Yangtze River (1 1) If the film industry in China has devoted its life to the big screen, Stephen Chow can definitely be regarded as one of them. He seems to have no other hobbies except filming, and he doesn't talk much in his daily life. He often turned against each other because of his stubbornness or harshness at work, and all his feelings ended in failure. However, as an excellent filmmaker, what can be more important than a successful work for the audience? Maybe it is difficult to make a breakthrough in his later works. Maybe he is old and has lost his glory, but countless people in this world have enjoyed his glory. Countless people will recall that bus, Supreme Treasure, Wangcai, Xiao Qiang, laughter, laughter and dreams over and over again in the yellowing years. The time spent with Stephen Chow is a time full of laughter.
