But......

Such a design doesn't seem to prevent "Journey to the West" from becoming an excellent movie, does it?

Put away the notebook.

Listening to the warm applause in her ears, Xu Wenjing smiled slightly and joined in.

"Whew. ”

Zhou Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief.

The handling of the last plot is quite risky, and it is very different from the original version of the script, even if the audience did not resist too much when the trailer revealed this, he has been worried about problems with the evaluation, but judging from the observation of today's premiere, it seems that everyone's senses are not bad.

"How?"

Luo Xun asked Xia Yu beside him.

He and Zhang Suining both participated in the movie, and they had read the script in advance, with too many personal feelings, so he wanted to see what Xia Yu had to say.

"That's good. ”

Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "This is the first time I have seen such a powerful Tang Seng, it is very novel, and for Journey to the West, this is a subversion." ”

"This was designed by Luo Xun. ”

Zhang Suining said, a little proud.

Xia Yu was immediately curious: "Why is it designed like this?"

Luo Xun smiled and said: "Because Jin Chanzi is the second apprentice of the Buddha, it is said that once, when he was preaching the scriptures, Jin Chanzi did not listen carefully and made a mistake, so he was punished by reincarnation once, and after reincarnation, he was Tang Seng, that is, Xuanzang in this movie." ”

"Didn't listen to the class?"

Xia Yudeng's face turned strange.

Luo Xun nodded: "The crime is to despise the Dharma. ”

In the original work "Journey to the West", a passage from the Buddha to Tang Seng can roughly answer Xia Yu's question, he said: "Holy monk, you were originally my second disciple in your previous life, and your name was Jin Chanzi." Because you don't hear the Dharma and despise my great teachings, you degrade your true spirit, reincarnate in the eastern land, and now take refuge in me, and take advantage of my teachings to take the true scriptures, which will be very fruitful and will be promoted to the great position. ”

It's very general.

When preparing the character biography, Luo Xun had to inquire about the information in many ways, which further enriched the character image: it turned out that this golden cicada was the most proud disciple of Rulai, and there were ten disciples in Rulai, and the golden cicada ranked second, but he was the most invincible-

The three disciples of Rulai are Guanyin.

Why such a talented Buddha was punished for dozing off in class is actually nothing more than an excuse, the real reason is:

The battle of ideas between the golden cicada and the Rulai.

Therefore, Luo Xun boldly designed, and the person who really wanted to be tempered was Jin Chanzi, the disobedient and most powerful second apprentice.

As for the golden cicada beating Goku......

The original "Journey to the West" does not have a specific description of the force value of the golden cicada, but a guy who can talk to Rulai to beat Wukong violently does not seem to be too abrupt, at least that's how Luo Xun persuaded Xing Ye.

There are some side descriptions of the golden cicada in the original book.

In terms of side description, Jin Chanzi is a very good person, the ancestor of the earth immortals whose force value is more terrifying than Sun Wukong, even Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to let the three-point Zhenyuan Daxian like Jin Chanzi very much, "Journey to the West" The twenty-fourth chapter, Zhen Yuanzi confessed his story with Tang Seng to his boys: "You learned there." That monk is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, the second disciple of the Western saint Elder Buddha. Five hundred years ago, I met him at the Orchid Bon Festival, and he once passed tea with his own hands, and the Buddha respected me, so it was for the deceased. ”

Old friend.

After 500 years of acquaintance, Zhenyuan Daxian still remembered Tang Seng's old friend, and instructed Qingfeng and Mingyue to entertain the two boys, and the things to entertain were two immortal fruits, which were very precious, and it took 10,000 years to produce 30.

Outcome......

is such a polite young Buddhist talent, but because the master did not listen carefully when he preached the scriptures, and was relegated to the east for the crime of "despising the Dharma", and then punished to the west to learn scriptures and atone for his sins, the punishment is really heavy enough.

Therefore, the battle of ideas is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Including many later interpretations of "Journey to the West", they all think so, and Tang Seng was born in the world as a monk, but this does not affect his future at all, step into Qingyun became a ** teacher, and when it was determined that the candidate to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, Nanhai Guanyin was responsible for the assessment and selection, in order to please her superiors, such as the Buddha, she naturally chose Tang Seng, leaving a robe to send crutches, for fear that others would not know, and after everything was arranged, he walked into the air and threw down a note to explain:

"I am Nanhai Guanyin. ”

Tang Wang saw that this was the person selected by Guanyin in the South China Sea, as a little king in the world, how dare he slack off, and he was very good at worshipping Tang Seng, so that Tang Seng had people in heaven and earth, and in the finale of "Journey to the West", Tang Seng was named the Buddha of Zhantan Merit, and he was forgiven by the Buddha and returned to the Buddha world.

The Monkey King is famous.

The world says that the Monkey King who defeated the Buddha is just a monkey who has lost himself by Zhao'an, and his words are always full of regret, so is the golden cicada who returned to the Buddha world another monkey?

So Luo Xun thinks it's good for Xuanzang to be the protagonist.

echoes "Journey to the West", and at the same time, you can also make a fuss about the identity of the golden cicada, after all, it is Rulai's senior brother, a man who dares to argue with his invincible master.

The original version doesn't mention this stubble.

So Xuanzang in the original movie didn't have any highlight moments from beginning to end, but in the end, he summoned Rulai by relying on "Three Hundred Children's Songs" to conjure up the "Great Day Rulai True Scripture", and then subdued the monkey.

"It sounds so ironic. ”

Xia Yu smiled and said: "But when I watched it, I didn't actually think about it so much, I just felt fresh, I was quite happy to see Sun Wukong being beaten by Xuanzang, who made him so fierce, and I suspect that 80% of the money you spent on making special effects was spent on the battle between Jin Cicada and Sun Wukong.

Luo Xun shrugged.

What Xia Yu said is the truth, the most difficult part of the special effects in the whole movie is the part where Jin Chanzi beats Sun Wukong, but it's a pity that at the end, Rulai pulled a fight, one person slapped each other, beat both of them honestly, and obediently went to the west to learn from the scriptures.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

In the movie just now, Rulai asked Jin Chanzi such a sentence, and the movie did not explain whether Jin Chanzi knew whether he was wrong, but in the final shot, Sun Wukong and Jin Chanzi teamed up to meet Rulai's palm, and this picture design is still quite interesting-

This was Xing Ye's idea.

Luo Xun didn't ask Xing Ye what this design meant, maybe it could be regarded as an allusion to the real beginning of the fate of master and apprentice?

It's hard to say.

In short, judging from the later stories of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong does respect Tang Seng, not just the threat of the tight spell and the pressure of Rulai.

In fact.

Many of the designs in the movie are quite ingenious, and they do carry some of Zhou Xingchi's feelings, such as Sun Wukong's sarcastic sentence "Because you are blind", and then "10,000 years is too long, just love me, now" and so on.
