The beginning of the movie is a series of exquisite food, accompanied by the scenes of frying and frying. The soundtrack of the Hong Kong and Taiwan movies in 1996 is simple and rude, without too many details, but it is just right not to compete with the content of the movie. The story at the moment is the annual God of Cookery contest. The famous chefs are ingenious, and each shows the ability of the Eight Immortals to cross the sea, but the carefully cooked food was given "0 points" one by one by the God of Cookery - Stephen Zhou (played by Zhou Xingchi). Just when the audience and the famous chefs were very puzzled, the God of Cookery gave the meaning of real food - heart.
When the picture turns, this is the bustling and lively Hong Kong in 1996. On the roof of the top floor of the Tang Dynasty Food Group, Stephen Zhou thanked the famous chefs. It turned out that what the audience saw during the God of Cookery contest was just a scene rehearsed by Stephen Chow and the chefs in advance, and the purpose was to promote the performance of Stephen Chow, God of Cooking.
As the story gradually unfolds, the true face of Stephen Chow, the God of Cookery, is gradually revealed in front of the audience: he is no longer (perhaps) the celebrity chef God of Cooking who pursued cooking and cared about customers wholeheartedly, but has become an out-and-out profiteer. And his arrogant and arrogant character also makes the surrounding colleagues and partner "Big Happy" boss (played by Wu Mengda) dare not speak out.
Finally, one day, when Stephen Zhou was cutting the ribbon for the new store, he was finally designed by a newbie, Tang Niu (played by Gu Dezhao) and the boss of "Great Happiness". As a result, the former glory and image were destroyed, and the god of cooking declared bankruptcy!
Desperate, he came to Temple Street in the night market, and by chance met his die-hard fan Shuangdao Turkey (played by Karen Mok) and the local hooligans of Temple Street, and even more by accident, he invented delicious and fun-explosive Pulp pissing beef balls! The new business was extremely hot, and Stephen Chow rose rapidly, once again becoming the new darling of the media's attention. Another God of Cookery contest is coming, this time, Stephen Zhou's eyes are on Tang Niu, the new God of Cookery, he wants to take back everything that Tang Niu deceived!
So he decided to study at the China Culinary Training Institute, the school where Tang Niu graduated. Turkey, who had a crush on him for many years, wanted to go with him, but he chose to abandon it because of its ugly appearance. In a small village on the mainland, the turkey was killed by a killer sent by the Tang Niu gang in order to protect Stephen Zhou. Stephen Zhou came to the China Cooking Training Academy, which is the Shaolin Temple, as he wished, and left only the hand drawing of the turkey. of a lonely heart. He was saddened when he recalled what happened in Temple Street back then, and recalled that Turkey was ruined by defending him back then.
The end of the story is also the climax of the climax. I don't want to narrate too much. After all, everyone is happy as it should be. Stephen Zhou won the game, the turkey regained its beauty, and Tang Niu and the boss of "Big Happy" received the punishment they deserved. Hong Kong style, perhaps the usual routine of "Zhou's" movies, good will be rewarded with evil, and a perfect ending.
I've watched a lot of Zhou's movies. They're ridiculously funny and hilarious classics, but I've always seen a lot of sadness when I appreciate them again as an adult. I don’t know if Xing Ye also became arrogant after reaching the peak of his life. Maybe after a painful lesson, he could regain his faith and re-comprehend the phrase “As long as you work hard, everyone is a god of food!” Suddenly I remembered the previous two days. I read a sentence "Be nice to others when you go up, because you can still meet them when you go down."
And another emotional line of the movie, the two-knife turkey, may be Xing Ye's affection for emotions. Another interpretation. Many people (perhaps including himself) are just used to the demands of daily life, but they forget that the person who pays may not be an existence that is always as hard as iron. One day, when she (he) collapses, you will find out. The wind may be strong; the rain, it turns out to be very cold...
So whether you are dealing with love, friendship, or family, please cherish it, or you will not regret it until you lose him (her) completely. (This is in the movie Journey to the West. Zhongxing Ye also made a similar statement) Because life is not a movie, and your "two-knife turkey" will not be so lucky to appear in front of you again!
Cherish the people in front of you, and don't cry.
