长江7号
CJ7

《长江7号》（英语：CJ7）是一部于2008年上映的喜剧电影，由周星驰拥有的星辉海外有限公司出品，周星驰自编自导自演。电影于2006年在宁波市开机拍摄，原本预计在2007年6月25日在中国大陆上映，但星辉公司发言人魏达深称因后期制作与修改需时之关系，最终定于2008年1月31日上映，中国大陆以外地区则由哥伦比亚影业发行。《长江7号》香港票房51,440,832港元，位列香港影史华语片票房第7名，也是周星驰自己的影片中票房第3高（仅次于《功夫》和《少林足球》）。《长江7号》在中国大陆的票房更是突破2亿人民币大关，使他成为中国两亿导演俱乐部成员，虽然在票房上取得了空前的成功，但在观众评价方面却十分的两极。另一方面该片也反映了中国改革开放后的贫富差距。《长江7号》在马来西亚不但以370万美元票房成为2008年年度冠军，而且打破了马来西亚影史票房纪录。《长江7号》投资2000万美元，最终获得全球票房5400万美元。因为本片几乎全部采用新人演员，且大多数为小朋友，所以当时港台媒体普遍报导周星驰片酬为1亿港元。但是，周星驰很早之前就已经身为出品人（即版权所有者），所以片酬对于周星驰来说没有实际意义。《长江7号》亦是周星驰目前最后一部亲自主演的作品。

Plot
Chow Ti is a poor construction worker. He lives in a partially demolished house with his nine-year-old son, Dicky. Ti is eager to save money so he can continue sending his son to private school. Not much is known about Dicky's mother, other than the fact she had died when Dicky was young upon Dicky being questioned by Ms. Yuen, Dicky's teacher, one morning as to where his parents were. Dicky is often bullied by other children, in particular by a boy named Johnny. Johnny is the son of a rich family and bosses other students around at school. He also has other students as his henchmen. Dicky is also chided by his teachers at school because he is poor and wears shabby clothes. Ti often helps Dicky to obtain things from the junkyard as they are too poor to afford certain items, such as his shoes that are tattered. During P.E class, Dicky is punished for wearing torn-up shoes and is to stand away. He is sad as he really enjoys doing sports, hoping to have a pair of better shoes soon. Maggie, a large girl in his class joins him as she did not want to participate in P.E class. She also develops a crush on Dicky. One day, while at a department store, Dicky begs his father to buy him a popular robotic toy called CJ1. Ti cannot afford it, and the situation ends badly when Ti smacks the stubborn Dicky in front of other customers. Dicky finds comfort in Ms. Yuen who is passing by. That night, Ti visits the junkyard where he often picks up home appliances and clothes for Dicky. He finds a strange green orb left by a space saucer and takes it home, telling Dicky that it is a new toy. He is hesitant at first but later accepts it. The next day, Dicky brings the orb to school and gets beaten up by the other children only to get injured and scolded by Ti. The following evening, the green orb transforms into a cute and cuddly dog-like alien creature that befriends Dicky. After playing with the alien, he learns that it is capable of restorative powers after it restores a rotten apple that fell to the ground. Dicky is very thrilled and names the alien "CJ7", and then falls asleep dancing in happiness. That night, Dicky dreams that the alien will help him gain popularity and good grades at school. In his dream, he asks the alien for some tasks. First, CJ7 defeats a fierce stray dog in an alley as requested by Dicky. It also helps him score on his exam (by creating an orange pair of glasses to help him cheat with tiny drones with cameras). During this scene, Johnny swats at the drones and Dicky is temporarily unable to see the answers on his paper. Backup drones fly out and they fly towards Mr. Cao, whose glasses lenses get broken as Johnny and a female classmate both swat at the fly-drones. In P.E class (with dream CJ7 constructing a pair of red boots with special powers), he outdoes his classmates in various sports scenes. Eventually, policemen and teachers including Mr. Cao and Ms. Yuen try and subdue his superhuman powers. He jumps high into the sky thanks to the springs on his shoes. He then jumps off a flying eagle and sees a big cloud in the shape of CJ7. Upon waking up, Dicky tries to relieve his expectations and demands for CJ7 to carry out the tasks again, but CJ7 is unable to be of help. CJ7 does not understand what Dicky asks of him and defecates on his hand, which Dicky has to deal with during his exam. The class bully jeers at him for holding a stool in his hand and shoves it onto Dicky's face. Later, Dicky expresses his anger towards CJ7 and claims he wants to kill it by forcing it to drown in the toilet bowl. He demands CJ7 to help him fix his sports shoes but out of stress and fear it projectile defecates onto Dicky. Then in P.E class, Dicky is being hosed down by the school's gardeners in front of his class and his P.E teacher. His teacher says he brings great shame to the school for his dirtied uniform as his classmates laugh at him. After school, Dicky lures CJ7 from behind a tree, telling it how much he loves it until it is coaxed out. He uses a bag to entrap CJ7 and catches it. Dicky pulls CJ7 out and angrily tells it how it is a useless space dog and only caused trouble for him at school. He tosses it into the garbage bin but soon after questioning his own behavior admits his own faults, rushing back to try and recover CJ7 from the bin. Dicky finds that the trash has been emptied by a garbage truck to his dismay and tries to chase after the truck to save CJ7 but is already too late. Going home, he is dejected and sad to have lost CJ7. Dicky cheers up and runs to hug CJ7, apologizing and saying how much he misses it after seeing Ti sitting with it. Ti is in awe as to how "high tech" CJ7 is as a play toy, twisting and pulling it to admire its malleability as Dicky watches in great discomfort, with CJ7 writhing and squealing in pain. Dicky begs his father to stop yanking its body around as he has to return his toy to a classmate, lying that he borrowed it. Later in that same night, as Ti and Dicky are asleep, CJ7 wakes up from the cooking pan it was resting in to repair the electric fan that Ti bought, fixing and turning the fan on with its special antenna. It is exhausted and uses up its energy as the ball inside the antenna becomes red. The next morning, Dicky goes to school with CJ7 in his backpack. When a group of students sees the alien with Dicky they forcibly take it and try to cut it with tools but nothing seems to work. At last, they try to use a drill and Dicky jumps on them. CJ7 scurries into some nearby bushes. Dicky tries to hit one of the students but a fat boy stops him who in turn is stopped by Maggie. They are all punished for fighting and demanded to explain the situation. When the teacher, Mr. Cao, leaves, CJ7 comes out from hiding and Dicky gets it to perform tricks for the other students and they are awed. Dicky thanks Johnny for not letting Mr. Cao know about CJ7. They shake hands and agree to not let the adults know about it and buy the group one. At the construction site, Ti shows everyone Dicky's test paper in which he scored 100 until his boss tells him that Dicky changed the marks from 0 to 100 and is a cheater. Then Ti threatens his boss that if he continues saying his son cheated he will hit him. This results in a fight that leads to Ti running off while his boss shouts after him that he is fired. Ti meets Dicky at home and gets angry with him for lying. He takes CJ7 from him and shoves it into his messenger bag, saying he does not get to play with CJ7 since he does not work hard so this upsets Dicky. When Dicky tells Ti to leave him alone, he promises he will if Dicky can score more than 60 on his own. The following day, Ti comes to Dicky's school to give him his lunchbox. There he meets Ms. Yuen, who offers to help Dicky study. He shakes her hand gratefully and leaves on his bike as Ms. Yuen watches on before leaving. Ti goes back to his boss and apologizes; his boss apologizes for calling his son a cheater in front of the other workers. He gives him his job back and his salary as well as a bonus (inside a red packet) so that Ti may buy Dicky new textbooks. Ti remarks of his great luck to the woman operating the lift on his way up to the building he is working on but is shut off by her sliding door. During work, an accident happens with Ti knocking some canisters over, trapping Ti's legs with ropes and pulling him close to the edge. Ti attempts to grab onto a bamboo pole for dear life and a worker asks where his safety harness is. Ti is unable to retrieve it and in doing so loses grip on the bamboo, and falls down further to grip some mesh netting, suspended by the canister's weight. Another worker in the lower floor sees him and tries to help by telling Ti to stretch his free hand out along with other workers. Unfortunately, Ti cannot reach his hand and the netting tears apart. Ti falls to his death from the building's scaffolding. Back at school, Ms. Yuen calls Dicky from his classroom just as he gets his test result in which he scores 65. Dicky is seen sitting at the hospital, clutching onto his paper as he looks at the scene between the doctor, Ti's boss, and Ms. Yuen in the door window near him. She goes home with Dicky and tearfully breaks the news to him that his father has passed away. Dicky begins to cry; telling her to leave and pushes her out and locks the house door to sob. In his bawling state, Dicky says that Ti will come back tomorrow and apologizes to Ms. Yuen, telling her he is going to sleep as she listens outside, sliding down to a sitting position as she cries with him out of sympathy. CJ7, still in the messenger bag which is now under the table on which Ti's dead body is lying, wriggles out of the bag and uses its repairing powers on Ti's body, even though it knows it will take its full power and it will die. The next morning Dicky finds Ti sleeping next to him. Ti awakes and questions why he is still in his uniform. Dicky rushes to embrace his father and sobs that he will be a good son, repeating Ti's words on not cheating, lying, stealing, and doing well at school. They share a loving moment. Then, CJ7 crawls out exhaustedly out of Ti's messenger bag and lies on the bed, powerless and drained from using all its energy on Ti's rejuvenation from the night before. The ball inside his antenna falls and disintegrates, and he transforms into a small doll with cross eyes. They try many ways (using batteries, electric shock, and injecting glucose) to get CJ7 back but are unsuccessful. In the end, it is shown that everything is back to normal. A scene in a park unfolds; the fat boy is in love with Maggie who is in love with Dicky who is in love with another girl who is taken by the bully, Johnny. Ti is in love with Ms. Yuen but is "not funny enough" for her. Dicky wears the alien doll as a neck pendant all the time, hoping that it to come back to life when he closes his eyes, counts to three, and opens them. He hears a whimpering sound, only to find a small white dog to be the source of the sound. The dog is quickly lifted away by a classmate. Dicky is sad that CJ7 is still not alive. In the end, Dicky sees a UFO descending onto the bridge in front of him. Many other alien dogs like CJ7 of various colors and patterns emerge, running towards him and he realizes that the CJ7s are headed by his very own toy.
