Stephen Chow in "God of Food", he didn't know anything at first, how did he become the god of food?
I believe that Stephen Chow's movie - "God of Food", many people have seen it. The "God of Food" played by Xing Ye in the film was an arrogant and rude guy at the beginning. In the end, after being framed by Tang Niu and others, he learned Xi cooking skills in Shaolin Temple and made a comeback. So the question is, since he didn't know anything in the first place, how did he become the god of food?
Stephen Chow's movies often play marginalized people in society, or some small people. However, the movie "God of Food" is a little different in that he is actually playing a guy who was born in the market, but forgot his original intention, and forgot the life of the people in the luxurious life of intoxication, in short, when a person gradually becomes capital itself, then he will go further and further away from the life of the people.
Stephen Zhou is obviously such a person, since he can become the god of food, it shows that he didn't know anything at the beginning, although in terms of chef skills, he may not be as powerful as Tang Niu. But it is by no means useless, but after becoming famous, he neglected his skills, as he said at the beginning of the film, "The chef is good, and the cooking is old", which shows that Stephen Zhou at that time, even though he was the god of food, he could not look down on the identity of the chef from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, this character also represents a type of people in real life, who have special talents or abilities when they are young, and rely on their skills and abilities to make corresponding achievements. So you can't say that they are mediocre, there must be something special about being successful, but when they get status and power, they forget who they are. For example, Li Jiaqi's overturning incident is a good example, he forgot his success, precisely because of the support of tens of thousands of ordinary people, just as Stephen Zhou forgot his success, is a chef is the same reason.
Therefore, Stephen Zhou's arrogance is based on such a foundation, in the empire that he thinks he has built with his own hands, he is lawless, but he never thought that in the eyes of ordinary people, he may still be the god of food, but in front of Wu Mengda, who is also sitting on capital, Stephen Zhou, who has already forgotten, is undoubtedly just a clown who jumps off the beam, which is why Tang Niu replaced him.
The essence of the film "God of Food" is to use seemingly nonsensical techniques to tell the story of a successful person who forgets to find his original intention and return to his true self after losing everything. It is precisely because of this that after Stephen fell into the streets of the city, he re-experienced how delicious that ordinary bowl of barbecued pork rice was. He once again tasted the taste of fireworks in the world, instead of using a bowl of chop noodles that everyone eats to try to trick the people's wallets as before.
But Stephen Chow is still smart, and he returns to the market and rediscovers the advantages of the city's food. And use this to bring yourself back to the top, which is also quite interesting in the film, just because Stephen Zhou still knows how to hype and operate, and in the process, there is still exaggerated publicity for the introduction of peeing cow pills. It shows that he is still a shrewd businessman in essence, but this time he was able to succeed, which also indirectly illustrates the fact that let the food really enter the common people themselves, and this bowl of peeing cow balls has become genuine.
If the success of Pee Cow Pill confirms that Stephen Zhou is a process of returning to the masses and returning to the streets. Then the kitchen of Shaolin Temple is where he really found his original intention. I believe that everyone still clearly remembers the eighteen bronze men of Shaolin, and the abbot who offended and wanted to leave, these famous scenes are now also talked about by netizens on the Internet, but if you think about it carefully, this hilarious scene is actually the process of Stephen Zhou's cultivation.
Stephen Zhou, who succeeded with Peeing Cow Pills, is still the one who wears the top hat of the God of Food, whether in terms of mood or technology, he is nothing more than a shrewd businessman, and he still exudes an unbeatable pride in his bones. But this movie is called "God of Food", so only finding the original self in cooking skills is the beginning of the real turnover. It is also the life in Shaolin Temple that although the director used a lot of nonsensical jokes to express the process of Stephen Zhou's Xi, in fact, it also expressed the hardships of cultivating the mind and tempering, and also allowed him to truly find ......out what the forgotten original intention was
Of course, it would be better if the end of the film didn't force a mechanical séance from some god. is flawed, many of the scenes in the film, with the help of the character of Stephen Zhou, do reflect some of the states of many people in real life, including the market life of ordinary people, etc., and this is the main reason why Stephen Chow's nonsense can be loved and accepted by so many people.
