Stephen Chow's performance is really beyond the control of ordinary people. Li Chengru is right. Don't stare at the corners of Stephen Chow's mouth. Acting is the most superficial thing in Stephen Chow. You can't learn anything deep. Stephen Chow had a rough childhood. As an adult, he ran for many years as a walk-on, and then worked as a children's program host for a long time. Therefore, the core of his performance is actually to deconstruct adult stories with children's eyes. That kind of nonsense, crazy state is the shallowest thing, and people who stare at these things don't turn over. If Xu Juncong is really smart, he should learn from the perspective of Stephen Chow's deconstruction of stories, not from the way of performance. Reply to the discussion of friends in the comment area in a unified way. I am not a professional film critic, so I have the right to express my opinion. 1. Is Li Chengru alluding to Stephen Chow? Personally, it is certain that Li Chengru doesn't like nonsense acting, but you can't say that he is referring to Stephen Chow. Many people may think that Stephen Chow is talking nonsense. This view is one-sided. Most of the post-80s generation grew up watching Hong Kong films. In the era of Stephen Chow, nonsense movies became popular. Slag Hui Hui, Eric Kot, and even the male gods Andy Lau, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Louis Koo and Liu Qingyun, who hasn't made several funny films that don't make sense? Going east and going west, roaring at lions, buying murderers, etc. , are the representative works of nonsense movies. Even after 20 10, Degang Guo's Moonlight Box, San Xiao and so on are all nonsense movies. What are the characteristics of this kind of movies? There is no inherent logic in trying to amuse the audience through meaningless exaggerated expressions, actions and surprises. The overall feeling of this kind of film is noisy. Not only the middle-aged and elderly people can't understand it, but also the post-80 s and post-90 s. As an academic figure, it is normal for Li Chengru to look down on nonsense. Because it is really difficult to find a masterpiece that belongs to the category of nonsense movies, except for buying a few masterpieces such as "The Fierce Shooter". So, you can't say that Li Chengru must be alluding to Stephen Chow. This lacks evidence. 2. Stephen Chow's performance style and structural perspective Stephen Chow's performance is very difficult. I don't need to introduce this. There are many articles in Zhihu. But there is almost nothing he can learn well. There is a simple reason. Everyone who wants to learn from Stephen Chow is imitating his exaggerated expression of staring, pouting and putting his hand in his mouth, thinking that this will make the audience happy. Without exception, the results were miserable. Now it is recognized that Shen Teng, who is closest to Stephen Chow, has an exaggerated performance style, but is obviously much more restrained than Stephen Chow. In terms of stories, both the films of Twist FunAge and Stephen Chow are telling absurd stories. Mahua's way of speaking is to let the audience enter the story by setting unrealistic situations (such as exchanging bodies, time travel, etc.). ), and then through years of on-site polishing, make the details solid and make the audience feel credible, so everyone watched Shen Teng Mary's performance and thought they could enter the story. And Stephen Chow's performance, from the beginning, tells stories in the form of cartoons, which is the perspective of children to see the world. For example, the American movie "Boss Baby" begins with an animation about how the baby goes home. He imagined a baby company in the sky, like an assembly line, producing many babies every day. There is a machine to dress them, put on socks, put on pacifiers, and then there is a feather, which itches, and the baby cries, and then it is sent to mom and dad through the dispenser to take home.
