    Movie network news(Video/He Pantu/Yang Nan/Li Chao) A Chinese OdysseyStephen Chow made the Monkey King a classic in the hearts of countless people. After many years, Stephen Chow once again challenged the traditional story of The Journey to the West, only this time, Master Xing retired behind the scenes and became a director, while the person who played the Monkey King became Bo Huang. Recently, Bo Huang accepted an exclusive interview with [Movie Network]. He said that in order not to be compared with his previous work, he deliberately turned the Monkey King into an old man. The Monkey King is not beautiful, will the audience still buy it? Let’s see what Bo Huang, whom Stephen Chow called the comedy Wang Zhongwang, said.

Personally, I don’t have any style. It’s fun to cooperate with Xingye.

    Stephen Chow and Bo Huang, two great comedians in the south and the north, will join forces with each other this time. What kind of chemical reaction can they have? Is it a perfect match, or is it the opposite? Bo Huang said that it is an actor’s duty to obey the director’s style; Working with Stephen Chow is a very happy thing in itself.

    [Movie Network]: Do you think your comedy style matches that of Stephen Chow when you play the Monkey King in the film directed by Stephen Chow?

    Bo Huang: This is the director’s problem. Personally, I don’t have any style. Actors are a part of film creation. It is also your job to serve the film better and integrate yourself into the overall temperament of the film. This visit is also an opportunity to learn. I used to like Stephen Chow’s works very much.

    [Movie Network]: Do you think Stephen Chow’s style has changed?

    Bo Huang: The director has his own creative characteristics, and he has a deep brand in the hearts of the audience. His previous comedy style and his comedy status have been well accepted by the audience. That’s what the audience likes. This is his personal characteristic, which is quite important. Let’s play more on the original basis this time.

    [Movie Network]: Was Stephen Chow serious when he directed the movie on the set?

    Bo Huang: I don’t think so this time. Because making a comedy must be a very happy state to come up with those ideas. It’s still strange that you are unhappy here. Often, before chatting and shooting, I laughed and fell to the ground first.

    [Movie Network]: For example?

    [Movie Network]: A lot, he will make a lot of extreme demands. For example, you are already embarrassed and should be able to go, but he will think, if you don’t go at this time, what will be more embarrassing? He will be embarrassed to the extreme.
