In the midst of the hustle and bustle, time passed slowly, and the Spring Festival arrived in a blink of an eye.

Tomorrow will be the most important festival in China, and parents with gray temples are waiting for the return of their children from afar.

The wife who stayed at home prepared a table of meals and waited for their father to be reunited with their lovely children.

And countless wanderers who traveled far away also rushed to their homes from all over the country.

Single aristocrats, both male and female, have to go on blind dates again and again under the persecution of the seven aunts and eight aunts.

For most industries, Chinese New Year means rest.

However, for the entertainment industry, Chinese New Year is also one of the most important dates of the year.

Not only movies, but also TV series, every winter and summer vacation, it is the time when the finale of major companies starts every year.

That is, those popular variety shows are rarely broadcast during the Spring Festival, after all, each TV station has to prepare for its own Spring Festival Gala, as well as the New Year's Eve party on January 1.

CCTV's Spring Festival Gala is not as good as a year after year, but the Spring Festival Gala and New Year's Eve Gala of the major first-line satellite TV are in full swing.

However, the most important thing during the Spring Festival is movies, and half of the entertainment news is now related to a few new films.

All-star lineup, "Havoc in Heaven" with a foreign investment of 600 million.

Known as "God of Gamblers 3", "Aomen Fengyun".

The big movie "Where Are You Going, Dad" that detonated the ratings at the end of the year.

word-of-mouth exploded, and hundreds of celebrities recommended "The Return of the Great Sage".

Four movies compete for the Spring Festival, each of which is the focus of current entertainment news and major related post bars and forums.

The four films were released at the same time on January 30, originally planned to be a day late, and the three films released on the first day of the new year were all promoted to the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Today, on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, the premiere ceremony of the four films was held in Beijing, and filmmakers, stars, and reporters from major media in the industry all gathered in the four cinemas.

"Havoc in Heaven" is the biggest movie in the Spring Festival, and the premiere scale is also the largest among the four films.

Even "The Return of the Great Sage", which has been fermented by word of mouth, cannot be compared.

After all, it is a super blockbuster with an investment of 600 million, the lineup is unmatched, and the "Lord of the Rings" special effects team is also the first movie with the theme of Journey to the West.

However, after all, Hantang Media is the largest private film and television company in China, with many artists in its subsidiaries and dozens of first- and second-tier stars.

The premiere of the group's important movies is also one of the few opportunities for its artists to be familiar in front of Tang An, and basically everyone who has time and qualifications is present.

Tang An said hello to some high-level executives of major companies and found director Tian Xiaopeng.

"Director Tian, congratulations, after so many years, this movie is finally going to meet the audience. ”

To be able to spend so many years making a movie, if nothing else, this spirit alone is enough to be admired by all filmmakers.

Around the world, there are very few directors who can do this.

It's not just a matter of the investor's money, it's also a big risk for the team and the director to spend so many years making a movie.

It's okay if it succeeds, and it's skyrocketing.

Once you fail, years of hard work will be in vain, and you can't make a movie in seven or eight years, which investor will be willing to invest in you.

And the film and television industry is developing rapidly, and the story of maybe seven or eight years ago is outdated.

Tian Xiaopeng hurriedly said, "Thank you Tang Dong for being willing to invest in "The Return of the Great Sage", if it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would take for this movie to come out, and we don't know if we can hold on to that time." ”

He was also full of emotion, after so many years, he had to find almost 100 investors to make this movie.

And the investment is still not enough, otherwise it would not have been seven years in one go, and even if their team took the Hollywood order, it would not be so time-consuming.

Tang An smiled, "I am a filmmaker, investing in excellent movies is what I have to do, Director Tian has taken over many Hollywood animated film projects, and I am very relieved about this movie." ”

"We're just taking on some outsourcing projects. Tian Xiaopeng sighed.

If it weren't for the production of "The Return of the Great Sage", as for occasionally taking on some Hollywood and Japanese anime projects, his team probably wouldn't be able to stick to it.

Tang An said, "That at least proves that there is not much gap between domestic technology and Hollywood, and the response to the screening of "The Return of the Great Sage" is very good, which will be the beginning of the rise of domestic animated films." ”

Tian Xiaopeng smiled bitterly, "There is no shortage of talents and technology in the domestic animation industry, and there is no shortage of investment, but the investor is too anxious." ”

Tang An nodded, Tian Xiaopeng is right, domestic film and television culture investors are all under the idea of making quick money, Chinese films generally recognize the one-year cycle, unless it is a big director, the movies are like this, the animation production cycle can be imagined, because speeding up the production cycle can only be to delete the number of frames.

As a major animation country in the world, there are many famous animations made in China, not only the relatively simple parts of OEM coloring, background, and animation, but also many mid-term links such as storyboarding, 3D, and retouching are also handed over to domestic companies.

Even the second original painting and the first original painting have a large number of domestic companies.

Well-known anime such as Detective Conan, Inuyasha, Naruto, and Death Note all have the presence of domestic companies.

Not only Japan, but also Hollywood has a large number of animated films with the participation of domestic companies, but people give them plenty of time and have higher requirements for quality.

For the same project, domestic investors require that it be released in a year or even less to make money.

Hollywood and Japan can give enough time to do a good job, so the things produced by the same company, those produced by foreign OEMs and those in China, are completely two levels in terms of quality.

Tang An shook his head, "But the investor can't help it, the domestic market is not as good as Hollywood and Japanese benzene, once it is like them for two years or even longer, it is better to do something else, the return on investment is faster, they are here to make money after all, the first purpose of the investors of Japanese benzene and Hollywood is also to make money, but the other party's market is better." ”

"As long as investors see that Guoman can make a lot of money if it does a good job, and the income is high enough, I think the situation will improve in the future, at least there will be people who are willing to wait for a year or two more, and they are no longer in such a hurry. ”

"I hope so, I have to ask Tang Dong for more help in the release of the movie, our team has gone a lot of people in recent years, some go to advertising companies, some work as fashion designers, and some go to TV series, but it's a pity. ”

The loss of talents, or the people of his own team, made Tian Xiaopeng feel a little heartbroken.

"It will get better, there are troughs in any industry, and only when you go out can you usher in the peak!"

......

Soon the premiere ceremony began, and Tang An and the main creative staff took the stage.

It's just an animated movie, with only voice actors, no stars.

If it weren't for the popularity of the previous screening, it would have been a little cold.

Without long-windedness, Tang An announced that the film had officially started to be screened.

"Today is the twenty-ninth year of the new year, and there are still a few hours to go to the Chinese New Year's Eve, I am very happy that everyone can take time to attend the premiere of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" at this time of family reunion, here I will not delay everyone's time, but also rush back to reunite with the family, I just say a word, this movie will definitely not disappoint you, thank you!"

......

It is said that a long time ago, there was a monkey king called Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong has strong mana and great powers, because he made trouble in the heavenly palace and angered the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor sent heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest him.

With a narration, the movie officially began, and the beginning was the scene of Monkey King making trouble in Tiangonggao.

The Great Sage sat on the top of the mountain and looked at these so-called immortals.

"You have violated the rules of heaven, why don't you hurry up and surrender the law!" King Tota stepped forward to arrest him.

However, all that responded to him was a peach.

Li Tianwang was knocked away by a peach.

Shame and indignation, the heavenly soldiers and generals quickly stepped forward to capture the demon monkey!

"Good peach, take a bite and crunch!"

"Why do you have the feeling of listening to Peking Opera?"

"Armstrong Super Roundabout!"

The Djinn God stepped forward.

There was only disdain in the eyes of the great sage.

One move... No, beat him with one kick!

Nezha stepped forward to fight.

The four heavenly kings each showed their magical powers.

The body shape changes, and the way of change is compared with Erlang God.

Fearlessly march through a rain of arrows.

And what about Marshal Tianpeng?

It's still beaten into the back!

In the war with the heavenly soldiers, the Great Sage won a complete victory!

However, the Buddha could not tolerate his contempt for heaven.

Put a chain seal on him and suppress it under the Five Finger Mountain!

That Monkey King has been pressing under the Five Elements Mountain!

"The Great Sage who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain will not be the Great Sage from now on!"

"There will be no Monkey King after making trouble in the Heavenly Palace!"

"I have a sad feeling when I look at the beginning of Mao!"

The film continues.

The picture turned, and more than 400 years later, a boy picked up the doll of the Great Sage.

The boy's father teased the child, "Don't worry, Monkey King won't die, he's just asleep!"

Then he got up and hurried away.

Cliffs, rugged paths, the slightest carelessness, you will fall into the abyss.

Mother holding sleeping child.

The father comforted his wife, and everything was so harmonious and peaceful.

The short-term tranquility was broken by the arrival of the mountain demon, if it weren't for this mountain demon, this troubled world, who would be willing to leave their hometown with their families?

My father resolutely drew his sword and faced the murderous mountain demon.

Father fights with the mountain demon. On the one hand, the mother was forced to the edge of the cliff by the mountain demon holding the child!

The mother looked at the lovely child and resolutely jumped into the abyss.

At the beginning of the movie, there are two tragedies, the Monkey King who is trapped under the Five Finger Mountain, and his mother who is forced to jump off the cliff in desperation.

On this festive day, there will be a sense of disobedience.

And some sentimental viewers are also a little melancholy.

"Women are weak, but mothers are strong!"

"I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world!"

"Why do you want to cry when you watch a little bit!"

As soon as the picture turned, I came to the mountains.

A wandering monk who was drawing water by the river saw a wooden basin in the stream.

Hurry up to the water and pick up the tub.

He picked up the little child from inside and sighed a poor child.

But in this troubled world, who is not pitiful?

The child couldn't speak yet, but his demeanor was delicate, which made the old monk's heart warm.

hugged the child tightly, and since then, the two have relied on each other for their lives and have never been separated!

The old monk took the child to turn into a fate!

Climb over the mountains!

Stayed in a cave!

Ride through a blizzard!

Hang out in the reeds!

The child is slowly growing up!

Watching this old and young wander all the way to the end of the world, the difficulties and obstacles are embarrassing.

"Didn't you jump off a cliff, how could there be a wooden basin?"

"There is a sense of déjà vu of Sanmao Wanderings!"

"The master is cute!"

"Jiang Liu'er, has the screenwriter seen Go Boy!"

......

At the end of the film, the story officially begins with two lines of small print appearing on the screen.
