Writing character biographies for characters has long been a habit for Luo Xun, and every time before writing a character biography, Luo Xun will make a structure for the script as a whole, so he is currently studying the script of "Journey to the West".

Although Luo Xun has seen the finished product......

But according to the subtle influence of parallel time and space, and the relationship that this script is currently only the first version, the content is not exactly the same as the plot in Luo Xun's memory, and there are still some deviations.

Fortunately, there is not much difference overall.

In addition, studying this script for Luo Xun also has an advantage that he will shoot "The Return of the Great Sage" in the future, which also belongs to the theme of Journey to the West, so if he studies this, it will be much easier to make his own movies in the future.

And if you want to study "Journey to the West", in fact, Zhou Xingchi's early work "Journey to the West" also has to be mentioned.

In the previous life, "Journey to the West" was born, and the reputation was mixed, and many people criticized Zhou Xingchi, won the box office and lost the reputation!

Why?

Because Zhou Xingchi filmed "Journey to the West" in his early years, and until Luo Xun crossed over, the movie "Journey to the West" was also regarded as a classic by countless people, and "Journey to the West" is also a movie with the theme of Journey to the West, how can it not be compared?

There is no harm if there is no contrast.

But as far as Luo Xun's personal perception is concerned, he likes "Journey to the West" very much, especially after watching "Journey to the West", he prefers the former.

At the beginning of the movie, it was a picture of a little girl's father being eaten by a water monster, and everyone didn't think it was funny, and even thought it was funny, until the human head couldn't see it clearly, and then panicked.

At that time, Xuanzang said such a sentence: "This is a kind big fish."

As a result, Xuanzang got into trouble and was beaten by a group because of this sentence, but while we laughed, the movie highlighted the theme of "everything is good" at the beginning.

The second is a main content of "Journey to the West".

The whole film revolves around Tang Xuanzang's nirvana rebirth, and the meaning of the title "Demon Suppression" is not only to kill demons along the way, but also to compete with his own demons. In contrast, the "Demon Chapter" is really just a monster.

I remember that after Miss Duan was killed by Tang Xuanzang, Miss Duan asked, "Xuanzang, have you ever loved me?" Xuanzang shouted with tears in her eyes, "I love you, I love you a thousand times, ten thousand times." Such unforgettable love stories have appeared in "Journey to the West", but even after many years, they can still hit the softest place in the heart of every moviegoer.

In "Journey to the West".

Supreme Treasure's joke to Zixia Fairy "I love you ten thousand times" saw a seemingly imperfect ending in "Journey to the West".

This can't help but make people sigh.

In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong went through a lot of hardships and hardships and finally became a supreme treasure, but he failed to get his wish with Zixia Fairy in the end.

So in "Journey to the West", doesn't Xuanzang love Miss Duan?

The answer is definitely: he loves to death.

But in the end, Miss Duan not only belongs to him Xuanzang alone, Miss Duan is the incarnation of Guanyin, and she belongs to all living beings.

The love story in both films does not have a fairytale ending like a prince and princess.

In fact, this is also the clear ending.

People who do good deeds are compassionate, and they will not be tied up by a little love for their children, not to mention that they are all messengers with heavy responsibilities, and both themes have some feelings of missing their love, which makes people feel distressed.

But why does everyone have such a high evaluation of "Journey to the West", but "Journey to the West" does not have such a high reputation?

Luo Xun thinks that the reason may be that "Journey to the West" was released before "Journey to the West", and the poignant love story of Zixia Fairy and Supreme Treasure is embarrassing and even more distressing, and it is a love theme that meets the public's taste.

What this film wants to express is love and struggle.

But the latter is different.

The so-called "Journey to the West" is the mental journey of an exorcist, and it is the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties he experienced when he transformed into a real master.

It's about epiphany and refuge.

The connotations and classics in "Journey to the West" back then were overflowing and could be understood and accepted by more people, but some of the content in "Journey to the West" may not be able to see the way in it, but the latter cannot be denied because of this, at least Luo Xun himself can interpret a lot of specious, and may even belong to secondary creation-

After all, he didn't know what Zhou Xingchi thought in his heart.

It can only be said that excluding the sunspots and the water army, everyone is interpreting this movie in their own way, thinking that it has deep meaning or a very high artistic level, in addition to emotional points, I always see some questions in the movie that I am also pursuing and asking questions but have no answers to reflect my own search and thinking; The story is insufficient, the acting is insufficient, the laughter is insufficient, and the depth is insufficient.

Because in their identification, Stephen Chow is such a director, how can he make such a movie?

The so-called "like that" director is an extreme praise, and the love for the bad reviews may be deeper than the good reviews.

Luo Xun likes this movie because it opens up room for people to think, because when entertainment is no longer just about relaxing and relieving the adjustment of a heavy life and becoming the only one in life, when this world is full of all kinds of variety shows that are not sincere, and when it is full of all kinds of cold rice books that are carefully read and edited in three minutes to quickly understand the world's famous books, when everyone's biggest curiosity is just who is with whom, who is messing with whom, When more and more people are accustomed to accepting the answer and believing that authority no longer doubts, we will really live in the saddest and beautiful new world.

This is not a comedy.

In fact, it is a fusion of fantasy, violence, thriller, suspense, nonsensical black fairy tales and romance, although the 3D effect is slightly scummy, the story seems a little urgent, the twist is slightly hard, and the stalk is still a familiar star-style stalk, and collective laughter breaks out in the cinema from time to time.

However, this is really a tragic movie of Zhou's thinking philosophy.

Regardless of whether Xing Ye has made himself clear or not, compared to the abnormal performance of "Yangtze River No. 7", it is always gratifying for Xing Ye to start examining and cutting his self-expression and questioning the world again, so in Luo Xun's opinion, this is a worthwhile movie.

It's worth shooting.

It's worth acting.

Movies worth seeing.

Besides, with him, this movie will make good adjustments at least in some of the criticized places, and some of the places where the audience is not suitable for watching, Luo Xun will use his own methods to improve, and he wants to use this way to repay Zhou Xingchi's help.
