【新唐人2013年01月17日訊】「周星馳成爲廣東政協委員」是時政新聞？還是娛樂新聞？沾了星爺「喜劇天王」頭銜的光，這條刻板的政治類消息，擠上了這幾天海內外多家中文網站娛樂版的顯要位置。在微博上也成爲熱門話題。
廣東省14號公布最新一任政協委員名單，香港戲劇天王周星馳的名字赫然在列。經查詢，周星馳所在的界別是「香港特區人士」，是其中的93名省政協委員之一。除了周星馳這名「新人」，還有香港明星湯鎮業、馬鼎盛、吳小莉等「前輩委員」。
爲甚麽邀請周星馳當政協委員？大陸《新快報》引用廣東省政協工作人員的話說，這應該是廣東省統戰部門做的工作。另一位工作人員則推測，周星馳的加入，會讓未來5年，廣東政協全會更受到媒體和社會的關注。
周星馳深入人心的「無厘頭」喜劇形象，很難和「政協委員」的頭銜組合在一起。
原《河北人民廣播電臺》編輯朱欣欣：「很多地方政協委員，好像就是爲了妝點官方的門面。政協委員的基本職能就是要參政議政，不能因爲他是個名人、明星就拉到政協裏面來。首先要看他是否有參政議政的能力，有這種熱情。」
時事評論員藍述：「中共第5代接班了之後，他們加強了對港澳的統戰工作。另外一個方面，可以反映出來，港澳或者是海內外的一些知名人士，對中共未來可能進行政治體制改革，存有一定的幻想。」
時事評論員藍述認爲，港澳和海外知名人士，依靠自身能力和努力取得了今天的成就，沒有必要和一個即將走入歷史的政黨牽扯在一起。
藍述：「習近平不管他怎麽想搞政治改革，要改變中共這個政治體制是根本不可能的。因爲這個共產主義已經沒有人信了。而且中共內部所有的利益集團，佔據著大大小小的權力核心，這些東西都不是習近平能夠改變的。」
周星馳的當選之所以出人意料，還因爲他拍的喜劇片中不乏直接諷刺中共，或含沙射影的大膽對白。比如1991年，在電影《整蠱專家》中，他飾演的角色借吃了「謊言豆沙包」說反話，諷刺中共鎮壓「六四」學生運動。而2004年，周星馳的電影《功夫》中的黑幫——「斧頭幫」，也被認爲是隱喻中共；片中大反派「火雲邪神」，神似被老百姓叫做「蛤蟆」的江澤民；尤其結尾的一幕「如來神掌打蛤蟆」，更讓很多民衆大大的出了一口氣。
藍述：「你批評中共批評的越厲害，你的名聲越大，中共才會下越大的本錢去統戰你這個人。這個就是矛盾的對立兩面。因爲統戰了你一個人，你可以影響一大批人。」
周星馳雖然無厘頭，但有時又針砭時事，電影片中的許多對白，如今不僅被大陸網民套用來搞笑他當選政協委員一事，更被網民用來競猜他的第一份提案會是甚麽﹖《南都網》綜合了周星馳電影與他可能的提案，提出八大猜想，分別是：
①「九品芝麻官」的「官員財產公示緊迫性與必要性。」
②「大內密探008」的「保護知識產權,鼓勵自主開發。」
③「長江7號」的「將農民工子女納入城市義務教育體系。」
④「喜劇之王」的給「青年人才提供創業基金。」
⑤「少林足球」的「推廣中國功夫拯救中國足球。」
⑥「千王之王」的「穩中求進開放博彩業。」
⑦「審死官」的「司法重審需有法可依」
⑧「幸運一條龍」的「加強房屋產權保護，禁止非法強拆。」
歷年來，大陸媒體曾經炒作許多「明星政協委員」，例如鞏俐、劉翔等等，但他們除了在兩會期間傳出合影、八卦、花絮，至今沒有明星政協委員留下有價值的提議。也難怪「周星馳當政協委員」的新聞一出現，又被媒體歸類在娛樂類別。
有人還眼尖的發現，廣東政協委員名單中出現已故香港藝人「張國榮」同樣的姓名，這讓網友們驚呼太詭異了。

‘King of Comedy’Joins China’s Politics: Entertainment
Stephen Chow (Chow Sing-chi) is a famous
Hong Kong actor and comedian.
Now he became a member of Guangdong’s Chinese People
Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) committee.
Shall this be categorized as political news,
or entertainment news?
The news itself is political. Yet, it is featured in many
China’s websites’entertainment sections, as Chow is often called the’King of Comedy’among Chinese people.
In addition, the news also becomes a recent hot topic
on Chinese microblogs’sites.
On January 14th, Guangdong’s provincial CPPCC committee
(CPPCCC) new members’names were released.
Stephen Chow, a very famous Hong Kong actor
and comedian, has been added to the list.
The official record shows, Chow is one of the 93 provincial
CPPCCC members, part of the subsector Hong Kong SAR.
Chow also joined the group of “star members in Guangdong’
CPPCCC,"which includes celebrities such as Kent Tong (Tong Chun-yip), Ma Dingsheng and Wu Xiaoli.
Why was Chow invited to join the CPPCC committee?
The Guangdong’News Express Daily cited a provincial
CPPCC staff that it should be Guangdong’s United Front Work department that made the move.
Another staff remarked that, Chow’s presence will attract
more media and social attention on the provincial plenary sessions of CPPCC in the next 5 years.
However, there are worries that Chow’s well-know image
from his Mo-lei-tau humor style does not fit well with the position of CPPCCC member.
Zhu Xinxin (former editor, Hebei official radio station): Many
CPPCCCs members are there for “the sake of appearance."
The basic job for a CPPCCC member is to take part
in political issues.
Any celebrity or star should not become a member
just because he/she is famous.
Above all he/she has to possess the capability
and the passion for politics."
Lan Shu (political commentator): The Chinese Communist
Party'(CCP) leadership group has strengthened
the Unite Front Work toward Hong Kong and Macao
since Xi Jinping came to power.
On the other hand, we can see that some famous people
from Hong Kong, Macao or abroad may still cherish illusions
on the CCP that they will carry out a political reform
in the future."
Lan Shu remarked that for those celebrities outside China
who made achievements by their own talents and efforts,
there is no need to be involved with a party
that will soon become a history.
Lan Shu: “No matter how Xi Jinping hopes to implement
a political reform, it is simply impossible to change the CCP’s whole regime.
As now nobody believes in communism, the core posts
are occupied by different interest groups inside the CCP.
To overturn such a situation is completely
beyond Xi’s abilities."
Stephen Chow’joining the CPPCCC is striking news
also because his roles directly or indirectly ridicule the CCP.
For example, in “Tricky Brains"(1991) Chow’s character
ironically criticizes the suppression during the June Fourth Incident after having a “bean bun that makes you lie."
In"Kung Fu Hustle"(2004), the “Axe Gang"is widely
believed to be a metaphor for the CCP.
The villain in the film,"Evil Deity of the Fiery Cloud,"
looks quite similar to Jiang Zemin in spirit, who is often called “toad” by Chinese civilians.
The scene of “Buddhist Palm Beating the Toad" at the end
of the movie makes many Chinese feel"avenged."
Lan Shu: “You will become more famous
if you criticize the CCP more.
Then the CCP will spend more time and money on you
as part of their “United Front Work."
So here are the two sides of the coin. If the CCP successfully
wins your support, it benefits much more as you can influence a lot of people."
Despite Chow’s Mo-lei-tau humor style,
his movies allude to current affairs at times.
Many Chinese netizens cite conversations from Chow’s
movies to make fun of the news that he joined the CPPCCC.
Some of them even use them to speculate
what Chow’s first proposal will be about.
The Southern Weekly website, nandu.com, presented
eight possible answers related to Chow’s previous movies.
1. The urgency and necessity for the officials
to declare their properties; (Hail the Judge, 1994)
2. Protecting intellectual property rights and encouraging
independent development; (Forbidden City Cop, 1996)
3. The urban compulsory educational system should
cover children of migrant workers; (CJ7, 2008)
4. Providing venture funds to young talents;
(King of Comedy, 1999)
5. Improving China’s soccer by popularizing
Chinese Kung Fu; (Shaolin Soccer, 2001)
6. Developing the lottery industry
as a steady advancing step; (The Tricky Master, 2000)
7. Any retrial must abide by the law;
(Justice, My Foot!, 1992)
8. Strengthening protection over housing property
and banning illegal demolition. (The Lucky Guy, 1998)
The Chinese media had hyped up many"star-members
of CPPCCC"these years, such as Gong Li and Liu Xiang.
However, besides all the gossips and tidbits around them,
at the Two Meetings none of them had valuable political suggestions.
Thus it is not surprising to see “Chow becoming a CPPCCC
member" being categorized as entertainment news by the Chinese media.
Some people noticed that the Guangdong’CPPCCC list has
the name “Zhang Guorong" – same as that of the deceased Hong Kong star, Leslie Cheung (Cheung Kwok-wing.)
Such mysterious coincidence has brought
more amusement to the Chinese netizens.
