Stephen Chow played a small role in most of his works before 1990. Although "Pioneer of Thunderbolt" won him the Golden Horse Award, he still didn't stand out in the film. In enter the dragon from 65438 to 0989, everyone focused on Jet Li who made fashion action movies. In Zhang Che's Brave Man, Stephen Chow was overwhelmed by a large group of stars around him. Stephen Chow didn't get "help" until 1990' s "A Comic Book Around the World". This "Houjiang Lake Film", with the main plot of teenagers obsessed with comics mistakenly entering the underworld and quitting the Jianghu after life and death, is an important turning point in the formation of Stephen Chow style. Several characteristics of the film are also familiar in Stephen Chow's later works. The characters in Stephen Chow's films are generally nobody. Although ordinary people have many bright spots, such as good nature, they also have many vulgar vices, such as lewdness, irresponsibility and lack of clear moral standards. For example, in a cartoon, the protagonist was originally a waiter who loved reading comics. Because he accidentally saved the mafia boss, he became a member of the underworld, so he could hook up with a female singer he dared not hook up with, go to a nightclub where he had no money to go, and "get involved" in the drug trafficking "cause" of the underworld. These characteristics are brought to the extreme in Duke of Lushan. From the plot, it is generally the villain who succeeds. After an hour and a half of jokes, these little people can beat their opponents and even win love. It turns out that all the humiliation and bitterness will turn into the joy of success in the finale. At the end of a cartoon, although the hero quits the Jianghu, the film describes the scenery and brotherhood of the underworld with a larger plot, and its effect is to emphasize the hero's "one step to heaven" after entering the underworld. The movie hero's "reaching the sky in one step" is often not achieved through hard work. The hero's success in Gambling Saint series lies in his special role, while in New Jingwumen, the hero has a strong right fist.

In addition, Stephen Chow's films are characterized by personal heroism. Although in the comedy films created by Stephen Chow in the 1990s, Ng Man Tat was the "first-class foil" as an assistant, the protagonist could solve the problem by himself without the help of the "green leaves".

Of course, the most important thing is that Stephen Chow's comedies are characterized by satire, including satire and ridicule on politics, culture, social customs, traditional humanities and even friendship and love, with a strong venting atmosphere. For example, in "Tang Bohu Points Chou-heung", which is controversial by domestic film critics, the heroine Chou-heung did not have the traditional style of "stunning four seats" when she appeared. Tang Bohu, played by Stephen Chow, didn't think she was beautiful at first, until Chou-heung was surrounded by a group of ugly women, and Tang Bohu couldn't stand the ugliness of ugly women, only to know that Chou-heung was a tall dwarf among dwarfs.

The above four characteristics can basically sum up the works of Stephen Chow 1990- 1994 in the first half of the year. Because these characteristics of his films are related to the feelings and needs of Hong Kong people in this period, and Stephen Chow's films are extremely rich in commercial elements (many of his works are in cooperation with Jing Wong, the "king of commercial films"), Stephen Chow has become the new favorite of the box office and has repeatedly broken box office records.

1994, his name appeared in the director column, so we can regard Stephen Chow's films after that as "Stephen Chow's works". Although the first and second episodes of A Chinese Odyssey 65438-0995 are directed by Liu Zhenwei, we can see the change of Stephen Chow's style. In the film, the audience can't see an inner Stephen Chow, and all the funny work is given to Luo Jiaying. They play a new concept of the Monkey King, who is obsessed with distant love, and finally give up human feelings and embark on the road of learning from others. There are several interesting changes in this film, which were not found in Stephen Chow's previous films.

First, the emotional crisis. In Stephen Chow's past films, there was no love. Although there is a plot to chase girls, it is for fun. Love is fast food and has no taste. But the love concentrated in Journey to the West is painful and heavy. At the end of the film, when the Monkey King, played by Stephen Chow, walks westbound with a golden hoop on his shoulder and a banana in his hand, we can't laugh.

Second, joke transfer. Stephen Chow gave up comedy in the film, and his jokes mainly focused on other roles such as Tang Priest, while Stephen Chow specialized in Lover. Zhang Daming and Luo Jiaying in Odyssey are funny, Gu Dezhao and Karen Mok in Gourmet are funny, and Stephen Chow focuses on something else. At the end of zero hair, Ling Lingfa and his wife, father-in-law and others designed to lure the enemy. When the truth came out, the emperor awarded the best performance award. Ling Lingfa, played by Stephen Chow, thought he would win the prize for his outstanding performance in the bait scheme, but the "Best Actor" was given to his father-in-law, and his wife also exposed his shortcomings such as grandiose performance. This passage is obviously a satire on what happened to Stephen Chow in reality. It is natural and reasonable to embed it in the film properly.

The Supreme Treasure in A Chinese Odyssey ended up lovelorn, agent provocateur only finished one task in the end, and the God of Food was bolder. At the beginning of the film, Stephen Chow was already a "little man who achieved success", greedy for money and profit, which was boring. Later, because of the appearance of Gu Dezhao, he fell into the streets. Until the end, in the "food contest", although he was a superb chef, he didn't win the championship. "Gourmet" is not a film that simply expounds that "what you gain is lost, and what you gain is lost". Compared with 1994' s Jiupin Sesame Officer, the Gourmet pays more attention to the analysis and reflection of human nature, although both of them have turned over a new leaf descriptions.

These characteristics are related to Stephen Chow's participation in film production. From the "nonsense" style of simple performance at first, it gradually turned to downplay the "nonsense" performance and the overall performance with stronger personal consciousness. In the finale of Gourmet, the bad guys were not solved by Stephen Chow, but handled by the immortals. Obviously, Stephen Chow is tired of past experience and wants to make his film a product with substance in speech. This awareness of innovation and change is very reflected in Master Gu Long's desire for innovation and change when he wrote martial arts novels, which is absolutely admirable, and this is also an important reason why I like Stephen Chow.

Master Xing flew back to the original work and began to try comedy with tears in his laughter. It is no longer completely limited by box office elements, and even begins to play in depth. Representative works: king of comedy and King of Thousands 2000.

King of a Thousand Kings 2000 is the second film of Stephen Chow 1999, and it is also the first collaboration between him and Wang Jing after The Amazing Star five years ago. Together, the two funniest people in Hong Kong are the summary of a comedy in the 1990s, and in fact it is. Stephen Chow doesn't have many parts in the film, but it's enough. By contrast, Nick Cheung was eclipsed, especially his smile, which was not used as a signboard. But similar to king of comedy, there are many vicissitudes and helplessness in it. If you are a movie fan, you should notice Stephen Chow's smile when watching everyone play at the end of king of comedy. There is a change of mentality here, and 10 years has catalyzed Stephen Chow's sense of comedy. As for the specific extent, explain it in his words: I used to say, shit! Or, you eat shit! Or shit on you! So now I want to try something new. I said, "Isn't this sentence enough?" "Is this sentence enough for 8 words?" Ha ha ha ha ha ha. -Zero zero nine
