      Zhou Xingchi and Tang Bohu point autumn fragrance

      Tang Bohu points Qiuxiang, whether it is the silly Zhou Xingchi, or the silly friend Zhu Zhishan of Tang Bohu, or the "Flower" on the side of the road, each character is not only serving the film as a whole, but also his own integrity as an individual. All the supporting roles are full and impressive. Not to mention that my own boat is fast, but it is the boatman who sinks fast and the actor who is deeply rooted in the image of "Sister Pomegranate". It is precisely because these characters...

      Funny but not lacking in philosophy of life

      For all that this movie can become a classic, it is not just because of its funnyness, but also because of its clever combination of funny and story design and the deep cultural foundation behind it. A large number of mirror character settings enrich the plot. Zhu Zhishan, who is down and out and gambling, is the mirror of the talented Tang Bohu. Sister Pomegranate, who is always dissatisfied, is the mirror of the fresh and pure Qiuxiang. The love between Zhu Zhishan and Sister Pomegranate...

      The fit of the drama and the actors

      I feel that the plot of the movie has no content. After watching it, I don't know what to say. The main thing is that this is a comedy-style movie, and Gong Li is indeed a good actor with aura and acting skills, but she is not suitable for acting in comedy, especially the role of Qiuxiang, who is beautiful but a maid, acting too imposingly, and the role does not match. Zhou Xingchi has his nonsensical style as always. I like his comedy style very much, with tears in his laughter, but the...

      classic

      I remember the first time I saw it when I was a child, I was amused and laughed, and it is still so classic now. Star Lord's unique comedy style seems to have accompanied me in my childhood, and now that I am an adult and approaching my thirties, it will still make people's eyes shine and bring me happiness in my spare time. Star Master is Star Master. It seems that no matter how much you read, the more and more you find that it doesn't seem to bring people relative happiness, but these film...

      forever memories

      When we look back on this movie, we find that it is far more than the classic characters and jokes such as Sister Pomegranate, Zhu Zhishan, and couplets in our memory, but also something more profound - Zhou Xingchi's concept of love. This is a sad story. Tang Bohu, who has already married eight wives, even his own mother thinks he should be the happiest man in the world. Only Tang Bohu knew that he was not happy. Of the eight wives, which one is not beautiful, but the life after marriage...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Gong Li said that because he was studying formal acting in acting school, he didn't understand Stephen Chow's unique way of being funny when he acted in "Flirting Scholar", so this play was very awkward   .
    When the film was released in mainland China, some of the content was cut. For example, Mrs. Hua listened to Tang Bohu's story, and the reaction scenes of five people were deleted   .
    There is a scene in the film where the hair of...

    Evaluation action

    Known as the "classic postmodernism" in "Flirting Scholar" is a masterpiece of Stephen Chow costume comedy, the film continued his slapstick style (CCTV movie channel assessment)
    The style of the Hong Kong movie "everything is crazy, everything is overdone" can be found in many footnotes in this film, whether it is the style of "I am high-class and majestic, showing a brave face; The couplet, or when Tang Bohu was interrogated by...
