How would you rate the new King of Comedy?

Among the 2019 Spring Festival movies, Stephen Chow made a strong comeback with his new work "The King of Comedy", which attracted the attention of many netizens during the pre-sale period and earned over 100 million on the first day of release. box office. But from the next day onwards, the film's reputation plummeted, and its box office was also badly beaten. As of now, Stephen Chow's "The New King of Comedy" has a Douban score of only 5.8 and a box office of less than 600 million.

For the evaluation of "The New King of Comedy", netizens' opinions are seriously polarized. Netizens who gave negative reviews believed that Stephen Chow's entire movie was just playing old tricks and selling emotions, and the plot connection was also very awkward. The ending of the entire movie was a bowl of poisonous chicken soup. Then there are some netizens who hold the opposite view. They think the reason why people give negative reviews now is because they don't understand Stephen Chow's movies. The product produced by Xingye must be a high-quality product, but people of this era still cannot understand it. Maybe they will give it a correct evaluation again in 10 years.

To be honest, this movie does have a strong personal style of Stephen Chow, which is nonsensical comedy, but this time it didn’t make people laugh. Han Han once said that the nonsensical acting style can only be performed by the star himself. It is a feeling that people can never tire of and no one else can learn from it. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the audience does not buy this kind of nonsensical comedy.

There is another problem that has been criticized by netizens, that is, the filming time of The King of Comedy is very short, and it is suspected of shoddy work and taking advantage of the Spring Festival period to make money. However, is this really the case? To be honest, maybe Stephen Chow's standards have not changed. He is still the star who is full of sincerity and has the courage to try boldly. It can be seen from this movie that 0 special effects, long shots, and new people are originally a very risky move. It is precisely because Xingye has higher requirements for his movies that he dares to step out of his own way. Comfort zone.

Admittedly, this "New King of Comedy" does have its unsatisfactory aspects, but it also has its outstanding points. Those who accuse Mr. Xing of playing old tricks don’t know that old tricks can also be used to create new ideas, and from the side, it can also be a kind of inheritance of the old. As for Mr. Xing showing off his feelings, it is undeniable that he may indeed do so, but compared to the previous naked revelation of the cruelty of reality, Mr. Xing now has more of a tenderness that is almost pity. If you look at it from the perspective of the past, Xingye's movie is indeed not very popular in terms of foreshadowing and performance, but there are still some plots that can make you cry. If you have time, it is still worth watching.
