In the Internet inadvertently saw the movie "Tong Pak Fu point Qiu Xiang 2019", the title, evoked my fond memories of "Tong Pak Fu point Qiu Xiang", and it is Wang Jing as a screenwriter, so I also reluctantly watched it. Wong Jing directs and writes movies of poor quality. This movie is just like the previous ones, relying on the title to attract attention. However, Wang Jing was quite self-conscious about the success of this movie, so he chose to air it online only. After airing, the Douban rating only gave it a 2.8, which is not too much to call it a bad movie.
A generation of classic "Tong Pak Fu Point Qiu Xiang"
It is well known that the star of "Tong Pak Fu Point Qiu Xiang" was filmed in 1993, directed by Lee Lik-choi, the "royal director" of the star, in addition to the star of this first male lead, but also brought together Gong Li, Chen Baixiang, Zheng Pei Pei, Hsuan Hsuan, Leung Ka-yan, Yuan Qiongdan, Chen Chien-yen, Ku Teh-chiu, Alan Liu, Blue Jieying, Wong Yat-sen, and so on. The movie is a great collection of movie stars.
There are just too many classic sequences in this "Tong Pak Fu Points Chou Heung", such as: the four talented men dancing striptease to scare away the crowd; the four talented men encountering the "Sinful Shadow" of Ruhua by the riverside, thinking that it is a big beauty; Tong Pak Fu going to Chou Heung in a boat, that boat is super pitted; Tong Pak Fu, in order to be the houseboy of the Chinese Mansion, competing with the sellout man who is worse than the other one in front of the door of the Chinese Mansion; and the part where Tong Pak Fu encounters the "Four Sex Criminals" who attacked the Chinese Mansion in the night.
Tang Pak Fu and the right to wear intestines pair of pairs of that paragraph and with the life of the scholar strong duel that paragraph; Tang Pak Fu painting spring trees, autumn frost that paragraph; Tang Pak Fu in front of the face of the House of the people to knock musical instruments that paragraph; Tang Pak Fu and the House of the teacher to call, the House of the teacher was killed by their own accident that paragraph ...... and so on, really classic, countless.
Wong Jing supervised the production of the new "Tong Pak Fu", the star was replaced by Chen Haomin
In the remake of "Tong Pak Fu point Qiu Xiang" Zhu Zhishan, Mrs. Hua, Sister Pomegranate, or the original cast. There is also famous actor Chan Ho Man, and the star's royal actor Lin Zi Cong joining, but also can not save the movie's reputation.
Like most crossover dramas. This drama is also through Lin Zi Cong's role as Ribs, who invented a machine that can travel from reality to the movie, and the three of them grew up with a fondness for watching the movie "Tong Pak Fu dot Chou Heung," so they managed to travel in on a whim. The group starts their adventure in the movie world in order to witness Chou-heung. But Wong Jing did not design the role of Chou-heung, but there is a Miss Wah Fu, Wah Heung, quite like Chou-heung in "Tong Pak Fu Point Chou-heung". The newcomer played Hua Xiang and Gong Li's Qiuxiang, who do you think is more beautiful?
Screenwriter Wong Jing also did not design the role of Tong Pak Fu appeared, it should be to respect the Star's perfect interpretation of the role of Tong Pak Fu. Wang Jing and Master Xing had worked together on many movies, "The Saint of Gamblers", "The Deer and the Tripod" series, and so on. All are recognized classics. There is no lack of many classic funny moments. In this "Tong Pak Fu Point Qiuxiang 2019" movie, Wang Jing moved them out again, from a new combination, and then through the newcomer's reinterpretation, chip into this movie all the laughs.
What's this movie really like?
With Stephen Chow's character pressuring him and the audience's sentimentality pressing him, Chan Ho-Man's version of Tong Pak Fu is hardly an image that can be successfully accepted by the audience. But where there is already a classic precedent of movie works, adaptation is difficult, remake is even more difficult. Not to mention "Tong Pak Fu", a movie that has already left a deep mark in the hearts of the audience.
It seems very difficult for any director in the Chinese movie industry to get out of the circle of "remakes" that are bound to die. Just like the director of "Tong Pak Fu Poi Chau Heung", Lee Lik Chik, who made a "Tong Pak Fu Poi Chau Heung's Four Great Talents" without Stephen Chow, and in the end, what he got in return was both box office and word-of-mouth flopping, and the audience cursing angrily.
