Today, the director’s special feature of "The New King of Comedy", which is about to be released on the first day of the new year, was exposed. Director Stephen Chow personally demonstrated during filming, and his serious state was shown in the special. It can also be seen from this that the strict requirements of Stephen Chow as a director even made the actors experience a challenge to their own acting skills. In fact, in the eyes of Stephen Chow, there are no "small characters" in the play.
Personal demonstration of acting, Zhou Xingchi asked Wang Baoqiang to reshoot 50 times
Chow’s role as Yin Tianchou in the film 20 years ago has become a classic image in the hearts of countless movie fans. His serious dedication to filmmaking, both in and out of the play, is now reflected in the process of filming "The King of New Comedy" as a director. In the Chow special, many "small characters" appear, and Chow Xingchi has to personally demonstrate and guide the expressions and movements of each "small character". The actress, E Jingwen, expressed her deep feelings about working with Chow Xingchi. She said: "The director is very sensitive to the performance of the actors, and the requirements for details are particularly strict." Mr. Chow himself said that this hands-on approach was a habit of his own, saying: "I act more intuitively, and the actors can immediately understand what I want to feel, so they will have a lot of different things to act out."
In order to ensure that "The New King of Comedy" can meet Chow’s own requirements, many scenes have to be continuously remade. Chow is often seen shouting "click" in the special. Wang Baoqiang, the male lead in the film, admits that he has also experienced the most number of reshoots in his career. He said: "In the past, there were only a dozen at most, and I made more than 50 at one time for’The New King of Comedy ‘. I really enjoyed working with Xingye, and I hope to make it satisfactory to him."
Struggle not to forget the original intention, Zhou Xingchi leads the "dead run" war against the Spring Festival gear
As we all know, the most famous thing in Stephen Chow’s movies is the rise of the little characters and the bitterness in their lives. Now, watching the many "little characters" in the special face the strict requirements of Stephen Chow, it is actually a struggle for them. The difficulties faced by the little characters in the play are just like the high requirements they faced when filming Stephen Chow. As the special shows, from the beginning, they were overwhelmed by the high requirements of the director, and the efforts of these "little characters" finally won Zhou Xingchi’s affirmation. "We must meet the requirements and standards of the director, and only by working hard can we meet his requirements," E Jingwen said frankly.
From the former Yin Tianchou to every character in "The New King of Comedy," Chow wants the little characters in the play to show a fighting spirit to live seriously and pursue hard. "In them you can see authenticity, confidence, seriousness and even seriousness and passion for what they do." Each character in the play is a great side of the little character for Chow Xingchi’s director. He said, "There are actually no small characters in a movie. No matter what the role is, they will have an impact on the final presentation."
"The New King of Comedy" was directed by Stephen Chow and starred Wang Baoqiang, E Jingwen, Zhang Quandan, Jing Ruyang, Zhang Qi and Yuan Xingzhe.
