Why is Stephen Chow's A Chinese Odyssey so popular?

Of all Stephen Chow's works, A Chinese Odyssey is definitely Stephen Chow's masterpiece. Even though the box office was depressed when this work was released that year, it is indeed a forward-looking work from today's perspective. It is also for this reason that Stephen Chow's westward journey will get more attention. Because Stephen Chow is a forward-looking director and actor, some of Stephen Chow's new works have not been recognized by everyone today. Maybe decades later, everyone will applaud when watching The Mermaid or The Journey to the West.

The whole crew suffered a lot when filming this westward journey. After filming in bad weather for two years, all the actors didn't leave the crew. Stephen Chow put a lot of effort into this work. Actually, this work doesn't need two steps, but Stephen Chow is a perfectionist. He believes that a longer story can make each character have a more perfect performance and improve the integrity of the whole story.

Therefore, the entire crew, whether it is the shooting time or the investment of investors, is gradually increasing. Later, due to the bad reputation of the film, Stephen Chow also received unanimous complaints, so Stephen Chow put a lot of effort into the film, but he was greatly wronged that year. There are many classic scenes in this work, including some words, which are widely circulated today and become classics in Xingye's movies, and it is even more difficult to copy.

It can be seen that Stephen Chow was very happy during the filming of this work, because during the filming of a Chinese Odyssey, Stephen Chow and Athena Chu, the heroine of Xia Zi, were lovers, and they could get along with their favorite people every day, even if it was too hard. Therefore, in the performance of the play, the supreme treasure portrayed by Stephen Chow is quite perfect, and at that stage, it was also the best time in Stephen Chow, so A Chinese Odyssey became the most representative work of Stephen Chow.
