14．For many Chinese filmgoers，the name of Stephen Chow alone is enough to draw them into the cinema for The Mermaid（《美人鱼》）．
The latest film from Hong Kong's"King of comedy"has had a record-breaking first week，earning 1.79 billion yuan at the box office since Feb 8．It stands a good chance of replacing Monster Hunt as the highest grossing Chinese film by this weekend．
Most mermaid films tell the story of love between humans and mermaids，and this one is no exception．But Chow，the director，writer and producer of this fantasy film，includes the theme of environmental protection into this story．
In recent years，Chinese comedy films have relied on online words or expressions that have become fashionable or used a lot by the media to gain favor with young audiences．Chow，however，sticks to his unique"nonsense comedy"called"mo lei tau"．It's the same style that established his popularity as an actor in the 1990s，and Chow has since adopted it to direct his films．
While Chow's fans may feel satisfied by his latest outing，the film failed to win over some critics．"The Mermaid is a mix of repeated jokes，poor special effects and an old-fashioned，Cinderella-style love story．It does make audiences laugh，but it is also embarrassing，"according to the most-liked review on douban．com．
Is Chow's style out-of-date？That's a matter of opinion．But so far，millions upon millions of moviegoers have shown their support at the ticket counter．
