Chapter 695: The Great Sage! Return!
Technically, there are now too many Hollywood animated films that can beat "The Return of the Great Sage".
Not to mention the animated movies made by Disney, even Warner can't compare.
However, there is only 100 million investment in this film, and this 100 million is not in place at one time.
If the production team had 100 million dollars seven years ago, it would definitely be much better than it is now.
However, hundreds of investors, the investment is not a one-time arrival, from the first investment to the last investment of Hantang, there is an interval of six or seven years.
There's no money, and it's an engine from a few years ago, so it's pretty good to be able to do that.
There are many flaws, obviously in the hair section, at the beginning of "The Return of the Great Sage", Jiang Liuer's parents' hair modeling was very exquisite, but later, except for the master's beard and chaotic hair, the hairy places were relatively rough.
The hair of those ordinary people in Chang'an City is basically a lump of black.
However, these are the icing on the cake when they are done well, and they are not the decisive factor, after all, movies are never for professionals.
At the beginning, the vision of Chang'an City was very good, and the people in the city watched the shadow puppet show with Jiang Liuer's naughty mischief, which not only made the audience more into the play, but also caused continuous whispering.
It's Chinese New Year, and it's an animated movie!
Chinese New Year needs movies that make people happy, and the audience for animated films has always been teenagers and even children.
If you don't meet the audience, no matter how good the shooting is, you may fail.
The classic animated film "Finding Nemo" earned more than $500 million at the global box office, while its predecessor "Finding Nemo" hit more than $900 million at the global box office a few years ago, a difference of nearly two times.
Almost everyone thinks "Robot Story" is better, but it just doesn't sell as well, and its revenue in videotape, TV on demand, and peripheral markets is far worse than "Finding Nemo".
Firmly grasping the preferences of a potential audience is a more important factor than quality.
In recent years, a number of animated films have been released during the Spring Festival in China, and the "Pleasant Goat" and "Bear Infested" series have done well at the box office every year.
It's both comedy and animation, capturing the market for children and adults at the same time.
And unlike "Pleasant Goat" and "Bear Infested", which have a small audience, "The Return of the Great Sage" is also very attractive to adult audiences, after all, it is a Journey to the West movie, the childhood memories of several generations!
......
A few years later, in Chang'an City, in front of the shadow puppet stall, the atmosphere was very lively, and the shadow puppet artists were interpreting the story of the Monkey King making havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
"But Sun Wukong won't die!" a Sun Wukong doll indiscriminately entered.
Who said babies have no memory!
When he grew up, the little boy Jiang Liuer still remembered what his father said.
The artist drove away the troublesome Jiang Liuer.
He took the doll and ran on the roof.
Shouting and screaming, scared the master who extracted the teeth.
Guests drinking soup.
Cook of stir-frying.
The craftsman who carved.
"When I was a child, I was like this, holding a stick as a golden hoop stick, playing the Monkey King!"
Looking at the wanton running river, the audience vaguely remembered the scene when they were children.
"Hahaha, this kid is a cute batch, leather!"
"Sudden shadow puppetry in southern Henan!"
"Who's a bear child, it's too mischievous, haha!"
Jiang Liuer, who was running around, bumped into his master Fa Ming.
Fa Ming certainly knew how naughty his apprentice was.
Like every parent, he wants his children to be down-to-earth and safe.
But how easy is it to talk about this troubled world!
Jiang Liu'er is a young man, unwilling to live every day just to fill his stomach, ordinary and mediocre.
Like most boys, he wants to be a hero, learn martial arts, fight mountain demons, and create peace!
However, the master rejected Jiang Liu'er's idea and told him to do his duty as a monk, not to fight and kill, and to use Buddhism to purify sentient beings.
"But how can the mountain demon understand your Dharma?"
Jiang Liu'er asked innocently.
The world was turned white by a sudden flash of lightning, and the dim sky seemed to herald the coming of disaster.
The seemingly peaceful Chang'an City was finally broken, the mountain demon descended the mountain, and everyone fled.
"Shoot the arrows!" There are also soldiers who stick to their posts.
However, with just a few wooden arrows, how can they stop the menacing monsters!
In the crowd, the master and Jiang Liuer were separated.
On the other side, the mountain demon counted the children he had captured and found that a girl was missing.
Jiang Liuer rescued the little girl, but she was separated from her master and hid in a cave.
There was a lump of ice in the cave, and Jiang Liu'er put his hand on it.
"Palm print certification, high-tech!"
"Drop, authentication successful, unlocking. Please wait!"
"Jiang Liuer got a cute pet sage!"
Although the mountain demons did evil and Chang'an City was in chaos, the atmosphere at the scene was still very joyful.
After all, it is an animated movie, and when Jiang Liuer was saving the little girl, she was constantly playing with these mountain demons, making the audience laugh frequently.
The ice cracked, and a little bit of it exploded, causing the cave to collapse.
A long-faced monkey crawled out of it, and by the way, he solved the mountain demon that found the cave inside.
The Great Sage, who had been crushed for five hundred years, ran out of the cave and jumped onto the tree.
At this time, the sun had just risen, and the great sage was facing the sun, and everything seemed so beautiful.
But the seal in his hand was still there, and he couldn't fly again.
The Great Sage couldn't believe that he had lost all his mana and turned into an ordinary long-faced monkey!
Jiang Liu'er silently watched the Great Sage toss.
The Great Sage roared: "If you come to the old man, isn't it enough that I have been trapped by you for five hundred years!"
"Don't forget that I'm a big !!."
Jiang Liu'er saw the idol in her heart for the first time, and the whole person was stunned.
Then he turned on the fragmented thought mode that was no less than that of his master.
"Monkey King?"
"He's really Monkey King!"
"The Great Sage must have a lot of spells, I know that the Monkey King is like a black iron, with fiery eyes, immortality, and seventy-two changes, a somersault cloud, it is 108,000 miles!"
"There is also a wishful golden hoop stick, which can be big or small, hidden in the ear!"
......
"I didn't run away, Jiang Liu'er is Tang Seng!"
"It's even more Tang Seng than Tang Seng, the poor Great Sage has to listen to Jiang Liu'er's nagging from childhood to adulthood. ”
"Haha, the monkey is going to hair!"
The audience watched the verbose Jiang Liu'er on the big screen and drove the Great Sage crazy, and they were happy.
"Can you make me quiet!"
The mana was all lost, the golden hoop stick was not there, and the little monk with broken thoughts made the great sage explode, but the arrogant great sage did not mention the matter of mana, but said that it was too noisy.
Jiang Liu'er was frightened by the fried Great Sage, and promised the Great Sage not to speak again, and then...
"Great Sage, does Erlang God really have three eyes?"
"Great Sage, Great Sage, is the Giant Spirit God very powerful?"
“... Be. ”
"Are the Four Heavenly Kings brothers?"
"It's sisters!"
......
This classic dialogue immediately swept away the depression at the beginning of the audience.
"The Great Sage's blue bar is empty!"
"It's heart-piercing, Lao Tie!"
"The Four Heavenly Kings are going to change their names to the Four Heavenly Niangs!"
"This is the legendary wool... No, monkey hair?"
Noisy all the way, I suddenly met the mountain god who was ordered to guard the Great Sage.
The mountains shook for a while.
"Now that you know that your Sun Great Sage is again, don't you hurry up and dodge!" Although there is no mana, the pride of the Great Sage is still there.
"What Monkey King, now it's just an ordinary stinky monkey!"
The words of the mountain god poked Sun Wukong's sore spot.
A vicious battle began.
The Great Sage has been suppressed for five hundred years, and the mountain god has not been here for five hundred years, and there is no freedom, is this the so-called god!
The great sage without mana has to deal with the mountain god and protect Jiang Liu'er.
Finally forced the mountain god to the edge of the cliff and hung under the cliff, Jiang Liu'er crawled over and took off the charm.
The mountain god turned into stones, and Jiang Liu'er also fell down with the great sage.
Seeing this, some emotional viewers were a little worried, the Monkey King, who had made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and swept the heavenly soldiers and generals, was forced to be so embarrassed by a small mountain god.
On the other side, the mountain demon who was defeated by the Great Sage knelt on the ground and complained.
"The things in the Five Elements Mountain are not easy to mess with, but this king wants to see and understand!"
In this way, the villain Faceless Man and the Great Sage have a feud!
The Great Sage and Jiang Liu'er fell off the cliff and found a small dilapidated temple under the cliff.
"Great Sage, there is a temple here!" quietly walked in.
Inside it was dilapidated.
Pick up the candlestick, and take away the dust on the table.
The Buddha statue choked on the dust, sneezed, and ran out of the temple.
Jiang Liu'er shouted in fright, "Great Sage, the Buddha has appeared!"
The Great Sage was also startled, fell from the tree, and took a face with the "Buddha"!
The "Buddha" who stole the fish rolled his eyes and thought for a while.
Yes, I'm the Buddha!
So he made a handprint and made a look of great compassion.
"Mommy, Mommy..."
However, the "Buddha" was so frightened by the little girl that she changed her appearance, and it turned out to be Zhu Bajie in disguise.
Jiang Liu'er jumped out, "Monster, put down the stupid girl, this is the Monkey King!!!
Bajie turned on the taunt mode, "Monkey King, look at his miscellaneous hair, Monkey King! I'm still Marshal Tianpeng!"
With the soundtrack of the opera, Bajie rushed to the Great Sage in style, but was poked into the nostrils by the Great Sage's finger and thrown aside.
suddenly remembered the great war five hundred years ago, the fiasco of that day, and was thrown down by Sun Wukong.
Fell into the pigsty and turned into a piglet.
"It's him!"
I've met a rival!
Bajie is very angry, he has been eaten for five hundred years, and he has lost weight like this!
If you are unhappy, you want revenge!
"Okay, I want revenge, come on!" the Great Sage looked at his fingers!
However, Bajie was instigated, and Sun Wukong jumped away disdainfully.
Bajie became energetic at this time, "Stinky monkey, don't go, don't leave if you have the ability! Ben Shuai spared you today, don't let me see you again!"
"I think you're scared!" Jiang Liu'er complained on the side.
Jiang Liu'er educated the little girl, "Marshal Tianpeng doesn't seem to be as powerful as the father-in-law of the land!"
The joyful Zhu Bajie dispelled the gloom of Sun Wukong being defeated by the mountain god just now, and the atmosphere became joyful again.
"Skinny like an eight-hundred-pound pig, haha!"
"Mysterious silence, child, why are you so honest!"
"I pretend to be B, and I have to finish it when I cry!"
The group moved forward and met the little white dragon.
A dragon and a monkey looked at each other for a long time, they were all imprisoned, what indignation and helplessness!
Jiang Liu'er, the number one fan of the Great Sage, admired and admired, "It was scared away by you!"
Fried hairy tsundere Sun Dasheng reprimanded Jiang Liu'er: "You were almost eaten just now, do you know! What are you messing with that white dragon!"
aimed at Zhu Bajie who was hiding on the side, "It's all you, it's all your troubled pig demon." I should have fed you to the dragon!"
The hard-mouthed Bajie: "Come on, isn't it just a dragon! I ......"
Sun Wukong dragged Zhu Bajie to feed the dragon
"Let the Great Sage let him go!" Jiang Liu'er begged the Great Sage to release the Eight Rings with a crying voice.
The Great Sage was jealous, "Why do you keep speaking for him!"
Kind-hearted Jiang Liu'er: "His ears are red!"
Several people argued, and the little white dragon jumped out from under the cliff and flew into the distance.
The Great Sage let go of the Eight Commandments, and Jiang Liuer sighed. "Dragons can really fly!"
The Great Sage said in an indifferent tone, "It's free, it's beautiful..."
But the pain that he can't fly now, who knows!
Jiang Liu'er sighed: "If only I could fly!"
Bajie snorted on the side, "What can I fly, I can still fly!"
The little monk said the dream in his heart, if he could fly, he would be able to find the master and send the silly girl home.
The Great Sage looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, "One day, if you are strong and brave enough, you will be able to control them!"
Jiang Liu'er jumped down and asked the Great Sage if this was true!
The Great Sage was arrogant again, jumping and running away.
Jiang Liu'er's fragmented thought mode continued to start, "Great Sage, you have been to the Dragon Palace, is the Dragon King very big?"
"Big is big, it's stingy!"
The trio began a long journey.
Watch the white dragon fight in the sky and swim at the bottom of the sea.
Like the naughty boys, boo in the lotus pond together!
Don't forget to cover the little girl's eyes.
Jiang Liu'er saw the girl sitting on the shoulder of the great sage, and remembered the time when the master carried her on her back.
We are eager to grow, but we attach importance to nostalgia for childhood, the so-called growth, is to look at the back of the loved one again and again, and gradually drift away!
Bajie flew up, carrying Jiang Liu'er, and there were bursts of laughter, happy, it's that simple.
The master never gave up looking for Jiang Liu'er.
Under the moonlight, in front of the waterfall, the master is also continuing his own journey.
......
The little girl was captured by the monster, and Jiang Liuer hoped that the great sage could go with him to rescue the silly girl.
But Sun Wukong lost all his mana, and he was already disheartened after yesterday's battle!
roared: "I've said it all, I can't control it!"
Jiang Liu'er cried and ran away, even if she was alone, she had to save the silly girl.
"Ah!!h
The Great Sage is beating stones like a masochistic madness, is it for his own cowardice or incompetence?
Bajie suddenly flew up.
It turned out that the Great Sage was casting a spell.
But after all, I was still burdened by the seal. He lay down backwards and sank to the bottom of the lake.
"Great Sage, let's go and save the silly girl!" Sun Wukong's ears rang with Jiang Liu'er's words to him!
"I can't control it, I can't control it!" the Great Sage covered his head and repeated with bitter tears.
"Great Sage!" seemed to hear a familiar cry.
When I opened my eyes, I saw familiar faces, innocent words.
"You see I also have a Monkey King, is it good to give it to you. ”
The Great Sage stretched out his hand, grabbed the doll, and remembered every day he spent together.
"Monkey, you have something to say!" Bajie called out to Sun Wukong worriedly.
The Great Sage ignored him, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I know you're sad, but you're a Monkey King!" Bajie said his last expectation.
"Monkey King. ”
"There are seventy-two changes to immortality. ”
"A somersault cloud is 108,000 miles. ”
Goku remembered his number one fan, Jiang Liu'er, in his mind.
I used to have a skill.
Laugh at the Djinn God!
Fight Nezha!
Fight with Erlang God!
The four heavenly kings of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals have helped me again!
Once proud of the crowd, sitting on the golden chair of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, he laughed loudly and scolded, "The emperor takes turns, come to my house tomorrow!"
Goku leaps out of the water.
Hold on tightly to the Daisheng doll.
Called the Eight Commandments.
Come with me!
"Good heart stuff!"
"The Great Sage also has times when he is helpless!"
"The Great Sage is also trying to break the seal, but he can't do it, he can't do it!"
"Don't forget, you're the Monkey King!"
......
On the other side, youkai are preparing for the sacrifice.
"Five Elements Mountain, there are temples. ”
"On the riverside, and the cornices. ”
"Borrow the essence of boys and girls. ”
The villain Faceless Man is still singing there.
Here, the little monk quietly mixed in.
However, he was still discovered by the monster, and the master suddenly appeared at the critical moment to save him.
Like thousands of parents in the world, no matter how timid and indisputable the world is, when the child is in danger, he can always burst out with infinite strength.
Jiang Liu'er crashed into the stove, hit the monster, and then rolled out of the cave together.
Little by little, the sun is being swallowed up.
"Sun Wukong, you have ruined my good deeds many times!" the monster rushed out angrily.
grabbed Jiang Liu'er and stood on the edge of the cliff and asked Sun Wukong's whereabouts!
"He's not a coward!" Jiang Liu'er would rather die than give in.
"Poor Jiang Liu'er, the Great Sage will come to your rescue!"
"Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!"
"The Return of the Great Sage!!"
did not live up to the audience's expectations, just when Jiang Liuer was dying.
The air is surging under the cliffs!
A dragon soars into the sky!
Sun Wukong and Bajie lived up to Jiang Liuer's expectations and flew over on a giant dragon!
The little white dragon ate a mountain demon without being picky and circled away.
In the smoke, Sun Wukong strode out.
"The Great Sage, it's the Great Sage here!" Jiang Liu'er happily pointed out to the master.
The master was also stunned, "There is really a Monkey King!"
The monsters are hiding behind the rocks.
Sun Wukong began his classic line, "My old grandson is here, don't ...... soon"
However, he was interrupted by Bajie on the side in the middle of speaking, "Marshal Tianpeng is here!"
The attacking Bajie quickly swelled and turned into a giant boar, rushing towards Chaos with a nine-tooth nail rake in his hand.
As a result, he was beaten Peppa Pig......
The Great Sage and Chaos fought, and within two hits they were thrown into the broken house.
Chaos cleaned up the Great Sage and flew towards the children.
The Great Sage smashed a stone into the Chaos and roared, "Don't go near them!"
The Great Sage also has his protection! It used to be Huaguo Mountain, but now, there are more of them!
However, it was still easily defeated.
"I said it!" the Great Sage lay on the ground, grabbed Chaos's legs, and hissed in a hoarse voice, emphasizing, "Don't!
The golden light flashed, and the chaos was bounced away!
Ignoring the bitter cry caused by the seal on his hand, the Great Sage slashed at Chaos with one palm.
Nearly knocked Chaos back to its original form.
Chaos and the broken planks fall off the cliff together.
The Great Sage was extremely tired, lay on the broken bridge, and told Jiang Liu'er that he was fine, rest for a while, and walk together.
"Then, don't lose it again!" threw the doll to Jiang Liu'er!
Suddenly, the sun is completely obscured by the moon and a solar eclipse appears.
There was a jolt.
Chaos took on its original form, an ugly monster with six legs and no face, climbing up from the bottom of a cliff.
Although I have seen the original form of Chaos in the trailer, it still caused a burst of amazement when I actually watched it on the big screen.
"Damn, this big bug is so disgusting!"
"What a big chunk of protein!"
"Isn't this an infinitely enlarged version of maggots!"
The Great Sage leaped out and fought with Chaos.
Jiang Liuer handed the girl over to the master and turned her head to help the great sage, but was pulled by the master.
Then he slowly let go of his hand and just instructed: "Be careful!"
When the children grow up, the world is up to them!
"Eat me with a stick!" Jiang Liu'er pulled out a stick and threw it at Chaos.
However, it is of no avail.
Chaos was enraged by this small character and chased after the river.
The great sage here has been working hard, and finally broke the stone, and ran to the river quickly.
"Jiang Liu'er... Jiang Liuer... Fools!
The fool's shouting is sad.
By the time he arrived, Jiang Liu'er had already fallen off the cliff and was buried by a pile of boulders.
The Great Sage looked at the half-cut doll in the rubble pile with a disbelief on his face, and ran over like a fly, pulling his hands in the stone.
Jiang Liu'er's little hand hung down weakly, and the hand stretched out by the Great Sage also stopped in mid-air.
Putting the doll in Jiang Liu'er's little hand, the Great Sage knelt on the ground and cried, tears dripping on the doll.
"Ah!!!!!h
There was still no mana, and the seal on his right hand still imprisoned him.
The Great Sage walked forward step by step, and the gravel on the mountain wall behind him continued to fall off as he walked.
Stepping out of the cliff in mid-air, this time he stopped.
Yang Tian shouted, and the seal on his hand was lifted.
A boulder thrown by the wonton was melted by the flames on the Great Sage's body, and in a ball of flames, the Great Sage completed his rebirth.
Fragments of flame formed a piece of armor on him, and a ball of flame turned into a large red cloak.
Melt rock into armor, wave flame into robes!
(Topped up in time and bought the Hellfire skin.) )
Taking out the golden hoop rod from his ear, a golden light cut off the foot of Chaos, and slashed across the distant mountain, forcibly splitting the earth in half.
The Great Sage held the golden hoop stick in his hand and rushed towards the chaos like a flame, and Jiang Liu'er's smiling face echoed in his mind.
This stick will make you go up in smoke!
The returning Great Sage easily killed Chaos, killing it in one move!
On the edge of the mountain, the Great Sage stood on the top of the sky, looking at the sun in the distance, and the long red cloak fluttered in the wind.
"The Great Sage. ”
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, and the Great Sage turned his head suddenly.
As soon as the picture dimmed, the title "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" appeared on the big screen.
But before the audience could take off their 3D eyes, another scene appeared on the big screen.
On the colorful auspicious clouds, the old monk Fa Ming took the little girl and Jiang Liu'er home, and Jiang Liu'er, who was covered with bandages, smiled and waved his hand in front of him.
The movie ends like this after a big climax, which makes people's blood boil.
And in the end, it seems that Jiang Liuer is not dead, which is a very happy ending.
PS: In the countryside, there is no code word on the mobile phone, no computer and no network, the most important thing is that it is quiet all day long, the sound of laughter, the sound of playing cards, the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of can't calm down to code words.
Every day, the subscription is gone, and it can't be like this anymore, go back to the city tomorrow, and end the Spring Festival early, eh.
