Robert McKee Makes A Comment On Comic Films: Stephen Chow Is Eminent
Yesterday,reebok nfl jerseys the most famous and respectable screenwriter Robert McKee who once wrote quot; X Filesquot;, quot;Sleepless In Seattlequot;, quot; Lord of the ringsquot;, quot; Piano Lessonsquot; and ldquo;Forrest Gumprdquo;, showed up in Beijing for the official opening of quot;Chinese Story Journeyrdquo;. Speaking of Chinese movies, McKee spoke highly of Stephen Chow as one of the greatest comedy creators in the world. But it is a pity that there are too few comedies in China.
At the interview, McKee proclaimed himself to be ldquo;a crazy fan of Chinese filmsrdquo; and his favorite works was ldquo;The Ash Of Timerdquo;. He said, ldquo;Wong Kar Wai’s lsquo;The Ash of Timersquo; is capable of hypnotism by the combination of martial arts and love memories. It is a piece of breathtaking good works. rdquo; However, ldquo;Orphan of the House Tchordquo;, which is not so welcomed by Chinese people, was also praised by McKee, ldquo;It is an amazing historical film. The triangular relationship between stepfather, father and son is contracted very perfectly. Whatrsquo;s more, the plot of the sonrsquo;s revenge is very touching. rdquo;
In addition to the fifth generation of director and Wong Kar Wai, McKee also showed his appreciation of Stephen Chow by saying, ldquo;Every time I watch lsquo;Kung Fu Soccerrsquo; I cannot restrict the temptation to laugh. On behalf of a new leaf of fashion , smartness, fun and creativity, he is qualified enough to be one of the world’s greatest comic film producers. rdquo; And then he added, ldquo;I have been aware that China has a very powerful TV industry that mainly relies on tragic love stories. So Irsquo;m looking forward to more Chinese epical comedies filled with wit as well as lightness. rdquo;
Additionally, he also pointed out the problems existing in Chinese movie industry: It is better for them to originate things not copy othersrsquo; achievements. As so many Chinese writers often complain about the fragile authorship, McKee illuminated that there were no related rules and laws to protect screenwritersrsquo; authenticity because once they sold the scripts to the workshop, they were authorized to alter your scripts.
