It was released in China on 5 February 2019 during the Lunar New Year 2019.[5] With a budget of $8 million (US) along with few months of filming and post-production, it is believed to be the smallest project of Chow's career as a filmmaker.

Production
Stephen Chow began writing the film in 2015.[6] Filming began in October 2018 and lasted only a few weeks.
For the movie, Chow cast people who could relate to the life of a struggling actor. He intentionally sought out Wang to play the male lead role, due to the latter's experience in working as an extra early in his career.[7][8] Actress E Jingwen also worked as an extra prior to The New King of Comedy, similar to the character she played in the film.[9]
Chow recruited the Chinese girl group Jí fēng shào nǚ (Chinese: 疾风少女; lit. 'Storm Girls'), whose members were eliminated in the Chinese version of Produce 101, to sing the film's theme song.[10]
Release
The New King of Comedy was released in China on 5 February 2019.
