In the capitalist society of Hong Kong in 1996, the capitalists controlled everything in the society. The "God of Cookery" played by Stephen Chow was a capitalist through and through at first. The film "God of Cookery", after putting aside the core of comedy, is a film about a capitalist controlling everything in the allocation of social resources.
"God of Cookery" was a man-made "god" at the beginning, a "god" promoted by false advertisements. In the "God of Cookery Contest" held by "God of Cookery", the contestants became the foil to the judges touting, and Master Xing trained the entire team on the rooftop The training was very expressive, and the script written by the master of ceremonies did not meet the preferences of the "God of Cooking", so he had to get out; Master Yang, who received the red envelope, worked too hard to act too fake, so he had to go to the corner with a cigarette butt in his mouth and shout until he was satisfied; He monopolized the "God of Cookery Contest", built his own reputation, and then colluded with the boss played by Wu Mengda to gain fame and fortune.
The first step for the "God of Cookery" to accumulate wealth is to create a concept, such as "unforgettable first love gold and silver couples set meal" - referred to as "chopped noodles", or fun and delicious "peeing beef balls". It doesn't matter if he does it or not, it doesn't matter if he does it well (so Wu Mengda has the opportunity to recommend smuggled beef to Xing Ye, because he only cares about the return of capital, not the quality), as long as the advertisement hits, someone will come to buy it.
The second step for the "God of Cookery" to accumulate wealth is to open a branch, then go public and speculate on stocks and land. In this process, money is paramount and capital is king. This can be seen from his attitude towards the team. All he needs is the team to be obedient and obedient. Tang Niu will be entrusted with the important task when he flatters him. Turkey beat Uncle Da with a trash can on the spot, and then turns his head and trains her to ignore the occasion.
I used to watch "God of Cookery" and thought the boss's eyes widened and his mouth wide open to teach people it was funny. How could he know that Master Xing was being realistic. Marx's "Das Kapital" said: capitalist is the personification of capital, "capital comes to the world, from head to toe, every pore drips with blood and dirty things". "Capital is dead labor. Like a vampire, it must absorb living labor before it can live, and the more it absorbs, the greater its vitality."
In the later stage of the movie, Xing Ye changed from a complete capitalist to a real God of Cooking because of the "truth", true feelings, and real skills that he realized that night in Shaolin Temple. Instead, he mainly focuses on business ability, and relies on miracles to become a real "God of Cookery".
