Many people think that king of comedy is an autobiographical work by Stephen Chow.
It is true that the film alludes to many of his experiences as a walk-on.
The only thing that is the same is that they are all called king of comedy.
Jing Wong once commented on him:
Stephen Chow's vicissitudes and melancholy are from beginning to end. He seems to leave all his smiles on the screen, as if you have to pay for them in life. He was "violent" and fierce as a director, but only in this "tyrant" style can the comedy be filmed to the extreme.
Although Jing Wong and Stephen Chow are at odds, he himself greatly appreciates Stephen Chow's comedy talent, and they have cooperated for 21 years.
This passage basically accords with the description of Stephen Chow by most people around him.
Is there any movie that is closest to Stephen Chow himself?
I want Uncle Fish to say that Master Xing in "The God of Food" is more real and closer to him in reality.
The God of Food is the first movie of Master Xing since he became independent.
This should also be the only time he used his real name in the movie, Stephen Chow.
Master Xing's English name is Stephen Chow, which is what foreigners call him.
Stephen Chow in "The God of Food" has a clear shadow of the character of Master Xing, which is the most realistic character in all his films.
The film exaggerates his ferocity, just like he is a tyrant in the media.
but deep down in his heart, he still has a kind and simple side.
The one-night hoary head in the movie is simply a true portrayal of him later.
There is a line in the film: I want to tell people that I can get back what I lost.
This sentence seems to pay tribute to Mark's classic lines in The True Color of Heroes.
it's not.
Before Gourmet, A Chinese Odyssey, which Master Xing had high hopes for, failed in both word-of-mouth and box office.
Yes, A Chinese Odyssey was criticized as nothing that year.
Many people think that Master Xing has passed away and is no longer the box office myth.
Master Xing, with a big gulp of sulking, vowed to make a turnaround.
Assembled his ideal golden combination, filmed "Gourmet" and won the second place in the box office that year.
that line in the film is actually a vent and a solution to depression.
Star Master's movies usually have a bearing theme, and The God of Food is no exception. He promoted the profound China cuisine to the world.
Hollywood was interested in buying the copyright of Gourmet and asked him to direct it.
But there is one condition, that is, Chinese food should be changed to American food such as pizza and hamburgers, which was immediately rejected by Master Xing, and he said that if he wanted to shoot, he must use Chinese food.
Gourmet has restored many famous dishes, and one of the contributions here is Master Dai Long, who enjoys the reputation of a Hong Kong chef.
He also made a guest appearance in the movie, and Master Xing also had a line: Thank you, Master Dai. That's him.
The last dish in Gourmet is the Buddha jumping wall in Fuzhou.
According to legend, Xuanquan, a monk of the Tang Dynasty, passed through Fuzhou on his way to Shaolin Temple in Fujian, and stayed at a hotel for the night.
Just next door, a dignitary entertained guests with "full altar incense". When the monk smelled the aroma, his mouth watered.
I abandoned Buddhism for many years and jumped over the wall to have a taste of the best food.
Buddha jumps over the wall, hence the name.
The Buddha jumps over the wall in the last competition between Master Xing and villain Tang Niu.
They are all of the same origin, and they all came from the kitchen of Shaolin Temple.
The difference is that Tang Niu has been practicing cooking hard for more than ten years, and Master Xing has only been a short month.
Finally, Master Xing was framed by Tang Niu, and the Buddha jumping wall he made exploded.
hence Luo Jiaying's classic line: "The Buddha jumps over the wall to explode, which is not allowed!"
What would happen if Master Xing didn't explode?
So, when the judges finally taste the two Buddha jumping over the wall, they can still feel the level in their hearts even if they are not threatened. This can't tell the definition of God of Food by Master Xing:
Anyone can be a God of Food with his heart.
when people are in trouble, a bowl of barbecued pork rice can be remembered for a lifetime.
Pearl Jade White Jade Soup, regarded by Zhu Yuanzhang as the best food, is nothing more than leftovers and green bean curd, but it was tasted without food, which made him memorable after he became emperor and could not be found again.
the story behind each dish is what really makes people memorable.
