"Is Monkey King like this......?"

"Whatever, you see that in Journey to the West, the master can have a female goblin who likes it, and the king of the daughter country almost achieved a marriage, and even Tang Sanzang was moved. Can't Monkey King also have a relationship with children......?"

"That, the mortal identity of the Monkey King, why is it called the Supreme Forest and the Supreme Grass, it's strange......"

"Then I don't know...... Doesn't it seem like it's a person, right?"

In the cinema, He Zilong, who quietly walked out of the box, walked across the street, listening to the Hong Kong audience's evaluation of his movie. There was an inexplicable smile in my heart, I was afraid of ignoring it, as long as someone cared, it was a good thing.

To be honest, between screenings, He Zilong was still genuinely worried. After all, I have heard for a long time that Hong Kong people do not seem to agree too much with the four famous novels, and they are not as strong as they are in China.

For example, the 86th version of Journey to the West is very popular in the mainland, in the country of Riben and Han Bangzi, and in Southeast Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, it is called a fire! However, why don't Hong Kong and Taiwan introduce it and broadcast Journey to the West in the mainland?

Of course, the four famous novels also have some strange origins.

In China, it is already a well-known literary common sense to use the "Four Great Masterpieces" to refer to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions". However, before 1949, there was no such thing as the "Four Great Masterpieces"!

It is Chinese mainland, a special era, because the era of book famine created the "four major works"!

These books were printed at the time and had a special historical background. According to statistics, from October 1949 ~ April 1966, 2.67 million copies of "Water Margin", 6.46 million copies of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", 3.79 million copies of "Journey to the West", and 2.84 million copies of "Dream of Red Mansions". This was the largest print run of any classical literature book at the time!

How did you say that?

When there is publicity and advertising of a song everywhere, then the song can become a brainwashing divine comedy, and then become a classic over time. If there are any more people who continue to hype for many years, then it may become a recognized symbol.

The same is true for literature and films.

"This movie is a little incomprehensible, it's so troublesome, it's not good, I'll go out and breathe......"

"Wait for me, I'll go out for a cigarette too......"

"Erwuzai, Monkey King also falls in love every day, this ninety-nine eighty-one is difficult, I'm afraid it won't be finished in a hundred years, right......?"

"Damn, what do you mean by that man being like a dog...... I really want to hit him!"

If someone likes it, there will inevitably be someone who doesn't like it, your nectar, my poison. This is normal, when He Zilong walked to the aisle on the other side, what he heard was another kind of Hong Kong audience's feelings, and many people were complaining loudly, expressing their dissatisfaction with "Dream Talk Westward Journey: Yueguang Treasure Box"!

For these opposing voices, He Zilong did not move, but calmly listened to them all. even found an empty seat and deliberately listened carefully to the discussion of these negative audiences.

Knowing the deficiencies and the causes, the next improvement can make progress. If a person wants to succeed, he must have the shame to ask questions and agree with the threesome, and he must have my teacher's point of view.

In fact, He Zilong himself wants to know why Hong Kong people don't like Journey to the West movies. Why didn't "Journey to the West" become popular in Hong Kong back then? And will the "Journey to the West" that I imitated also follow in the footsteps of "Journey to the West"?

Anticlimactic?

It is said that when Xing Ye was filming "Journey to the West", almost everyone in the crew was quietly scolding, this is not good, that is not good.

At that time, most of the crew members were from Xi'an Film Studio, and a large number of people stood far away when the work started. And Xing Ye and Lao Liu were very sad at that time, because one of them felt that he had written a genius script, and the whole world scolded him. One thinks he has acted with his heart, but few people applauded it!

In addition, before the official release of "Journey to the West", it was not called this name. At that time, the movie was still called "Journey to the East", not fully formed, not to mention, and the logic was written in a mess, mainly because it was hit too much, and the time and length of filming were extended.

When it was finished, the group performance of Xi'an Film Studio was even more striked, and they didn't want to act in such a garbage drama. finally finished filming, and "Journey to the West", which cost 60 million Hong Kong dollars, only recovered less than 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

That's a terrible word, that's great!

He Zilong is very fortunate at this time, his cost is only a few million, even if he loses, he will have already earned his own money. The main purpose of the movie is to see if you can become famous and give you a sense of achievement. There will be no situation when Xing Ye almost went bankrupt because of this incident.

"Speaking of which, it's better to be famous as soon as possible. Those guys from the universities in China, I'm counting on you. Well, the movie has almost not been released yet, so I asked Li Dawei to take a copy to China for review to see if it can be released at the same time. I don't care about the domestic box office, I just want to make a name for myself early. Well, maybe I have to find some domestic reporters and Hong Kong reporters, and it's good to blow it if it's okay......" Touching his chin, He Zilong's stomach turned around in advance.

It is said that knowledge is power, and this is true in China in the 90s. Experts and professors, intellectuals, these years can be popular, the people in China can believe it, well, well, in another twenty years, it will become a brick family, called a beast, alas!

In other words, Xing Ye didn't even think about why his movie became popular in China, and he was a Mengbi face.

In 1996, the filmmaker sent a copy of "Journey to the West" to Beijing Film Academy, but it didn't work out, as soon as the movie was screened in school, college students went crazy in an instant and immediately regarded this movie as their treasure. As soon as the university teacher saw this posture, he immediately studied it as a great academic work, saying that it contained a lot of postmodernism!

And when the parties listened, they all had a face, you understand me better than myself, how can I not know the expression?

Thinking about it now, He Zilong felt that he had figured it out. Why can a movie like Dahua become popular in China?

No matter how many people can understand it, just like the emperor's new clothes, since others say it is good, he must pretend to understand, especially since the person who initiated this movement is a college student from Tsinghua University, it seems that he feels very tall when he can understand this film. (Chinese good face!)

For example, if you say you can't read it, but I can understand it, is that indirect proof that you think that your IQ can be compared with that of Tsinghua college students?

Furthermore, the theme of Journey to the West may not have a large audience in Hong Kong and abroad, but it doesn't matter. China is the birthplace of the four famous novels, especially Journey to the West, which is recognized as a super domestic product, if the domestic product is not supported, who else can it support?

The connotation of the four famous works.

What Easterners can understand at a glance and resonate with, Westerners don't know what to do, they neither understand nor understand. Therefore, Hong Kong, which is in the Western cultural system, said that it wanted to understand Eastern philosophical thought in the past 90 years, which is simply ridiculous, backward, and despised.

Well, look, they're just a little more economically developed, but the rest is not necessarily better than the domestic ones.
