In the following two days, Liu Chen was in a very happy mood. He got up on time every morning and ran up to the river bank next to him to look far away. He was in a very comfortable mood. He watched "The King of Comedy" and "Shaolin Football" repeatedly. These two movies are two very pleasing movies, and the feeling of watching each time is different.

Liu Chen kept watching and analyzing, and tried to analyze in his brain that there was no scene shooting technique. If I were a director, I wanted to shoot such a scene, what should I do, where the camera was placed, what performance should the actors make, lighting requirements, etc.

The next morning, Liu Chen was jogging hard while thinking about "Shaolin Football". "Movie Weekly" once visited Director Zhou. When he was taking photos of him, he suddenly said seriously that he was filming "The King of Comedy" because of his emotional frustration; "Shaolin Football" because of his career frustration.

Considering that Director Zhou likes truth and falsehood the most, it makes people unable to see through his true intentions, Liu Chen could not see through "Shaolin Football", but instead felt that there was a hidden emotional line. After watching "The King of Comedy", he did not see his emotional line, but he vaguely felt a career line.

Could Director Zhou have spoken out loud? He filmed "The King of Comedy" because of his career failure, and filmed "Shaolin Football" because of his emotional disappointment. "The King of Comedy" is the first Xiangjiang box office champion work that Director Zhou has invested and won the championship after he regained his momentum, and it was again after six years.

Before filming "Shaolin Football", Director Zhou broke up with the rumored partner and became a real lonely person.

Three days later, the movie began to tell the story again. Wang Lai did not teach Liu Chen to perform or something. The main reason was that she herself was not very good at this part, and she had great expectations for him and hoped to train her directly.

It was still the huge study room like a small screening hall. Wang Lai put the film "Shaolin Football" in and freeze it at the beginning, saying: "Shaolin Football" and "The King of Comedy" are too related. Although we mainly talk about "Shaolin Football" today, "The King of Comedy" must also be included in analysis so that nothing is missing. Let's start now."

Liu Chen was so energetic that he spent a lot of energy on his appreciation of "Shaolin Football" this time, and he had the meaning of accepting the school entrance exam.

Liu Chen said: "When Movie Weekly visited Director Zhou. When he was taking photos of him, he suddenly said seriously that he was filming "The King of Comedy" was because of his emotional frustration; when he filmed "Shaolin Football" was because of his career frustration. I feel that Director Zhou seemed to be saying the opposite."

Wang Lai interrupted him first and said, "I won't speculate on how frustrated you are. Let's solve a problem first. A director has endless bitter stories and good intentions behind his movies. This is something that people often don't see or care about. Let's talk about the main line and perspective of this movie first."

Let’s take a look at the main line of the story. At the beginning, the greed of the right foot of the Golden Leg was broken. Because of the conflict with Qiang Xiong, he ran away lonely. In front of Times Square, he met the King Kong Leg Ah Xing, who was determined to promote Shaolin martial arts, who was the role played by Director Zhou himself, and laid an inconspicuous but very important foreshadowing in the following text - kicking the beer can.

Immediately afterwards, A Xing met A Mei by buying steamed buns, and another hidden line began to lay the foundation. He started a nonsensical singing and dancing, which led to A Xing's thought that Shaolin Kung Fu and singing and dancing were a big deal, so he went to find the eldest senior brother Tietou Gong, pointed out the survival status of the eldest senior brother, and sang the "Shaolin Kung Fu and Good", which led to the partner who later played football together. During the fight, Huang Jin finally discovered A Xing's potential, and thus smoothly and naturally brought out the view of Shaolin Kung Fu and Football.

After a setback, the Shaolin football team trained on the bare dirt field, relying on the thorough overhaul of car repairers named "Floating Clouds" to find the magical skills hidden deep in their bodies. The Devils used instruments at the bottom of the swimming pool to improve their shooting power with the help of US intelligence agencies.

The Shaolin team reached the final with a relaxed and pleasant journey. The Shaolin magic skills were nothing more than the "devil" who beat the American strong medicine, causing the loss of troops and generals, and were in danger. In fact, this is also Director Zhou's usual thinking. What will happen when traditional Chinese things meet the things that come in from the United States? Is it Shaolin Kung Fu strong or American strong medicine? One more thing is, what will happen when traditional Chinese culture encounters American Hollywood blockbusters?

In the end, the victory brought by Mantou Amei is ideal. Can Shaolin magic really surpass the high-tech by any means? Just like the nonsensical myth, Director Zhou is definitely not sure whether it can really compete with the renovated Hollywood.

Besides, can the situation really be said to be a "confrontation"? You see, when Shaolin team wins, the people are starting to practice martial arts, and white-collar workers use light skills to take the bus, and the cover of "Time" magazine, not a domestic weekly or daily newspaper. This also shows that Director Zhou or people all over the world also think that the American magazine "Time" has the greatest influence.

After hearing this, Wang Lai nodded frequently. It can be said that Liu Chen now has a good understanding of the structure of the movie and said with a smile: "This movie is definitely not simple. Many lines in it are of great significance. For example, if you don't have a dream, what is the difference between it and a salted fish? Second senior brother, in fact, fate is in your own hands; you must have confidence in yourself, you are the best; Kung Fu is definitely suitable for men, women, young and old, fighting and killing is just people's misunderstanding of him. Kung Fu is even more an art and an unyielding spirit!"

As she said that, Wang Lai couldn't help but look at Liu Chen. She saw Zhou Xingxing's characteristics from Liu Chen. These two people both had dreams. It was precisely because of this reason that she asked Liu Chen to analyze this "Shaolin Football".

This movie is a good example, and it expresses a lot of director language under the packaging of an attractive story.

Liu Chen also realized something and nodded and said, "Shaolin Football, as the number of views increases, the feelings of each time are different. At first, I just think it's funny and focus on Director Zhou's nonsense. If you watch it a few more times, you will feel sad. The situation of the characters in the play is reflecting the sorrow of Chinese society. You should know that Director Zhou has always wanted to promote Chinese martial arts to Mr. Bruce Lee, just like Korean Taekwondo and Japanese judo. People with high ranks can be respected and make a living. In today's Chinese society, what will happen if you learn advanced martial arts?"

Liu Chen can be said to have a deep understanding of this, and he is very excited to say it. "The answer was given in the movie. The six brothers have developed a lot of skills, but they are all cleaning the toilet, washing toilets, washing dishes, supermarkets, collecting garbage and having a fake finance. They do not make a living because of the skills they have learned, or have any social status. This raises a question? How to carry forward the kung fu? This is also what Director Zhou himself has always thought. From the previous "God of Cookery" that combines kung fu with food, in "Shaolin Football", we are exploring at the beginning. How to promote Shaolin Kung fu, whether it is combined with singing and dancing, or with football, it has to be said to be a helplessness."

Wang Lai was very satisfied and said, "The first step in the analysis of this movie is to be completed. Then there is another step below, especially the movie directed by Zhou Xingxing. This step is even more essential. That is, starting from what the director said about the movie itself, has the information on this aspect been collected?"

Liu Chen nodded and began to speak.

Many people take it for granted that the main storyline of "King of Comedy" is Director Zhou's own summary and affirmation of his performance form over the past decade. But when reporters repeatedly asked if "King of Comedy" was his own story, Director Zhou sometimes answered with affirmative answers and sometimes had negative answers. Strangely, there was only the answer style of this question, just like he was answering about who was his girlfriend.

Before the story ended, he spoke a chilling line: "Actually, I don't have much talent for acting, so I'd better be an audience."

In this movie, Director Zhou's acting skills have reached the highest level of "cold humor".

...

Wang Lai didn't expect that Liu Chen had done so much homework, and he included every word that Director Zhou had said. He really understood the director's personality and his own characteristics. He had greater expectations for his appreciation this time, and couldn't help asking: "Then did you find any hidden information based on the movie and Director Zhou's experience?"

This question can be regarded as a tickling Liu Chen's itch. During the repeated viewing of "Shaolin Football", I always felt that I had ignored something important and was touching and precious in the movie. After watching it dozens of times, I realized it and started talking about it now.

The emotional line implicit in the film, the shabby football match symbolizes the emotional line from beginning to end.

"I think it is Director Zhou's examination of his own feelings. After that, there has been no scandals. It seems that he has a great sense of enlightenment about his feelings and also gives his own ideal feelings."

Wang Lai encouraged: "Speak on."

"When Ah Xing, the Dali King Kong leg, became famous, he mortgaged the shoes that had broken several holes to Ah Mei because of the steamed buns, and was very excited to see her using Tai Chi Kung Fu to make steamed buns. At that time, both of them were small people, one picked up garbage and the other made steamed buns. Ah Xing encouraged Ah Mei to be confident and believe that she was the best. In fact, while encouraging Ah Mei, he was also telling him."

"At the bottom of society, I have always been firm in this dream of spreading Chinese martial arts, but others will sneer at him, just as he said that he once told the principal that he was best at kung fu. Can he teach other students kung fu? He was kicked out by the principal."

"There is one of the plots. In order to give Amei confidence, Axing took her to the big shopping mall to see those beautiful clothes, but the price was to wash the floor for others. He said to Amei: I tell you, I will play football tomorrow, and I will definitely be popular all over the sky, but if you didn't help me fix these shoes at that time, I might not have played football. How important you are to me, do you know? Tell me all you like, and I can give it to you soon."

"And Amei seemed to feel the distance between the two of them gradually and said: If you get popular, just give me a pair of sneakers."

"A Xing said: This is OK, but I think you should also be a little confident. In fact, you are very beautiful and have great martial arts skills."

This relationship is similar to Director Zhou's first love, just like after six years of hard work, he was about to go to film "Pi Li Pioneer" on the eve of what he said to his first love Juanmei.

After Axing and other brothers became famous, they found Amei again. With Axing's encouragement, Amei redesigned a ghost-like shape, but she found confidence herself, especially when the boss's wife insulted her, she said confidently: I am Amei, I just like this.

Amei asked Axing: "I like you."

Ah Xing replied happily: "I like you too."

Amei asked again: "Then is our love like this?"

"Of course it's not love, we will always be good friends."

Then, when Amei was very disappointed, "That's great. You can always look for me in the future. If your shoes are torn, I can make up for you."

A Xing said: "No need, if the shoes are broken, I will throw them away. We all have to look forward! I will never wear broken shoes again."

This also expresses a kind of expression: when you have money, your mentality changes, and you are fond of the old and old. This is a common commonality of human beings. In fact, it is not the director’s own mental journey. After becoming famous, he fell in love with Zhu Yin, who made a movie together. The relationship with Juanmei ended in vain.

This may also be Stephen Chow's own confusion. After he became famous, his definition of first love might be just support for each other. Just like love cannot be considered love. In 1992, Director Zhou filmed "The False School 2", and after meeting Zhu Yin, the situation changed.

Director Liu Zhenwei recalled that one day he sat in a hotel for dinner with Director Zhou, and Director Zhou told him: "I don't know why I fell in love with a girl so easily."

Liu Zhenwei replied with a smile: "I said please don't abuse the word 'love'. You are so fickle! He felt it was boring after hearing it, so he lowered his head to eat and stopped talking. Afterwards, I felt that Xingzai was mainly too lonely, and smart people were very lonely."

Then, Ah Xing came to look for Amei the day before the final, but found that Ah Mei was no longer there. After asking the boss's wife, he realized that after hearing the steamed buns made by Ah Mei were bitter and astringent, the answer was finally revealed. It turned out that Ah Mei was secretly crying. At this time, when Ah Xing heard it, when he tasted the bitter steamed bun, the close-up on the side expressed his heart well. At that moment, Xing should have a deeper understanding of love and began to deny the previous view that first love was just supporting each other and not love.
