I and "Changjiang No. 7"
I was one of the first people to know the official name of the film Xing Ye, so I first registered and opened the "Changjiang No. 7" post bar on Baidu; I visited the class during the filming; news about the film , I have been paying attention to and understanding the information; so far, I have watched the Mandarin version in the cinema 5 times, one of which only finished the first half, and I watched the Cantonese version once, so I can't say how comprehensive my understanding of the movie is. , but not less than ordinary people.


1.
Years of expectation When
it comes to the movie, first of all, I want to talk about my expectations for "Changjiang No. 7". After the shock of Xing Ye's use of "Kung Fu" to break the cocoon into a butterfly, rule the world, and return of the king, what kind of movie is CJ7? , I had no idea at all before watching the movie, so I had to say to Xing Ye again: I really can't guess you!
From what I saw in the previous plot introduction, I thought CJ7 was an alien invasion. Star Lord was entrusted by the commander to drive the Yangtze River No. 7 space warship invented by Da Vinci to save mankind and defend the earth. Alien themes, war elements, and funny scenes have all been used in the movie, so it's worth looking forward to. The result, as everyone knows, is not what I thought! The last time I saw him was a rare martial arts genius, but this time he became a temporary worker among the migrant workers.

But do you think my mood is disappointment? no!
I am happy that I did not guess Zhou Xingchi once again! Only Stephen Chow can keep me guessing what his next movie is going to do. From the endless funny methods of early star films to the themes of star films that began in the era of Director Zhou, they are always creative. In Jiang Bang’s words: I saw this film made by Mr. Zhou. He was enthusiastic and creative. . . . . . .

2. In this film, Zhou Xingchi himself is basically not funny, but he still had a cold humor with the beautiful teacher Yuan at the end: Teacher Yuan, do you dare to say that I am not handsome? Look more clearly.
It seems very unreasonable and illogical for a migrant worker to pursue a beautiful teacher in an aristocratic school, but in Stephen Chow's movies, it seems to be reasonable and logical. I'm looking forward to Stephen Chow's movies, besides the surprises, there are infinite possibilities in the movies.

The Cantonese version of Stephen Chow's original voice of this clip is better than the Mandarin. The Mandarin is as follows:
Zhou: I seem to have some problems with my body recently
Yuan : What's the problem?
Zhou: I found that I am so handsome, hahaha
Yuan : It's funny

Cantonese meaning:
Zhou: I seem to have some problems with my body recently
Yuan : What's the problem?
Zhou: I found that I am a lot more handsome, hahaha.
Yuan : It’s funny

. It is said that there is something wrong with my body. It is definitely not a problem that I am handsome. It is a problem that I am a lot more handsome. There is a process of change in the middle of "beautiful boy a lot", and I found myself getting more and more handsome. The mandarin match is too direct, and there is no such change. It may be that there are too many dialogues to match the mouth shape.

In addition, in the film, Dad Zhou showed off Xiao Di's transcript, and was revealed by the foreman that the score had been revised. He said at that time: However, I have known him for so many years, and he does not seem to be such a person.
In the sentence "I don't seem to be such a person", the Mandarin and Cantonese versions were spoken with trembling voices. The dubbing of Mandarin Shi Banyu is rather funny and exaggerated. However, in the Cantonese version, when you hear Stephen Chow's original sound, you will find that it was spoken by a person who was severely hit and his voice was out of control.
After watching the Cantonese version, I am convinced that Stephen Chow is really an ordinary migrant worker father, not the former Stephen Chow.

However, the voice acting of several small actors in the Mandarin version is better, especially "Ruhua" Meijiao, such a big "monster", her voice is beautiful and moving, it's the first time I heard her say in a soft voice " I was eating." I couldn't help but squirt.

3. List of funny lines and scenes
Zhou Xingchi basically handed over the jokes in the film to others. Xu Jiao may be the comedy successor cultivated by Zhou Xingchi, and the avatar dog Changjiang No. 7 may be Zhou Xingchi's own incarnation - very cute, very cute Hilarious, but incompetent, always saving the day at the last minute.

1. The four-eyed cub who once played the role of a car mechanic and a clerk is still so funny. The classic lines of playing a teacher and scolding a student in CJ7 may become popular: You, a superficial, vulgar, and beastly-minded student, have no taste to such a level. What else is there to explain?
There is another dialogue that I can't remember. It probably said: "Being good in high jumping is just one word.... waist and horse are one, adequate sleep, and respect for teachers...

What does it matter to respect teachers if you are good at high jumping?" , If you don't respect the teacher, will your leg be broken?

2. The funniest expression
Xiao Di dreamed that after the Yangtze River No. 7 defeated the most vicious dog in the world, the two people strode side by side, and the dog and the dog were so proud that they gnashed their teeth, exaggerating and not inferior to Zhou Xingchi's classic laughter: hia~hia ~hia~
It is said that the facial expressions of the avatar Changjiang No. 7 were demonstrated by Stephen Chow himself!

3. The funniest scene
Xiao Di was dreaming, the soles of his feet shot up to the sky like Astro Boy, and his shoes burned out halfway, so he reproduced the situation like Zhou Xingxing was lifted to the sky by the magic power of a toad in "Kung Fu" - stepping on a big The eagle, seeing the (actually) Yangtze River No. 7 turned into a white cloud, turned around and dived, hitting the Tathagata's palm in mid-air, and the people on the ground fell down. . .
The funniest thing is that those people were so fake when they fell down, and it was obvious that everyone was spoofing when this scene was shot.

4. The most touching scene
is not the crying when Dad died at the end, but the part where their father and son played the game of pedalling on the bed.
Regarding being moved, some people are moved by certain things, and some people are not moved. Some people will be moved by this part of the movie, while others will not. It's completely different from everyone's experience. Because of the heavy snow, I was separated from another place to celebrate the Spring Festival alone. On the morning of the first day of the new year, I went to the cinema alone to watch the morning show. When I saw this part, I felt the music was very touching, and I thought of the scene at home with my family when I was a child. . I was very moved at the time.
Although we were poor when we were young, we had a very happy New Year!

5. The cutest scene After watching the movie, everyone
I know thinks Changjiang No. 7 is very cute.
Just came out with a sock in his mouth and sneeze. Is it just smelly socks?
Changjiang No. 7 must imitate Bruce Lee before making his power.
The actions of Changjiang No. 7 when creating a super item, nodding proudly, and laughing.
After Changjiang No. 7 was defeated, he put a Band-Aid on his head and squinted pitifully.
Changjiang No. 7 made Xiao Di angry, and then cheated by Xiao Di, the expression behind the tree.
Finally, the alien brothers and sisters of the Yangtze River No. 7 came out, jumping and running all the way, too spectacular, luxurious and gorgeous.

Six, the most wonderful soundtrack
"Sunny" Boney M. It's the song played in the end credits, the song played on the radio when Changjiang No. 7 danced with Xiao Di. The warm and cheerful atmosphere matches the movie very well.
The soundtrack when Xiao Di was thrown flying by classmates Tyrannosaurus is also very atmospheric.
The music of Changjiang No. 7 after defeating the evil dog and walking with Xiao Di on the road after being defeated by the evil dog seems to be the same.

4. After watching the movie, all the friends
I know feel good after watching the movie "Changjiang No. 7". Observing in a movie theater, all the moviegoers were laughing and laughing while watching the movie. Many people left the movie theater reluctantly after listening to the theme song after the movie.
Some female friends I know think "Changjiang No. 7" is better than the previous Stephen Chow movies. Maybe it's because this film is not "superficial and vulgar", and there are moving elements added to this film, and the puppy Changjiang No. 7 is really cute.

The regrets left by this film, and the problems that may arise in the future of this film - Zhou Xingxing rarely performs by himself, especially not doing things that seem to put fists in their mouths and let others put their toes in their nostrils The performances here, those exaggerated and shocking performances beyond imagination, may not be seen in the future. We expect Stephen Chow to make and act well in movies, but he has only released one in three or four years. His hair is getting grayer and he will no longer act funny like a hairy boy. He was reincarnated as Yangtze No. 7, and he was teaching others to perform.
But fortunately, "Changjiang No. 7" completely inherits the tradition of "star films" - fun, innovative and inspirational. So what I saw was still that Zhou Xingchi, and what I saw was still the star movie, although it didn't fully satisfy me, but I still look forward to the next star movie! After three years?
