The 281st episode will be a classic
"Journey to the West" is finally over, only the sad ending song is still lingering in the theater.
In the premiere, the audience who had just applauded Peng Yichen still did not leave.
There were even a lot of sobbing voices still in my ears, and even Yu Jing, who was beside Peng Yichen, took out facial tissues from her bag one after another, wiping the tears that kept flowing.
Whether it is the love words that the Supreme Treasure said to the Zixia Fairy, or the Supreme Treasure giving up his life to take righteousness and bringing a golden hoop, or the Zixia Fairy died for love, or the last sentence "He is like a dog" emotion.
In short, in the movie "Journey to the West", there are too many emotions and content that resonate with the audience.
The most touching thing may be that the Supreme Treasure recited the touching confession with the golden hoop.
In the face of responsibility and love, what will you choose.
This is one of life's most unsolvable multiple-choice questions, and no one can give a perfect answer.
If you take the golden hoop and become the Monkey King, you must give up the power of love and abandon your earthly feelings, and if you don't wear the golden hoop, you can still be a supreme treasure, but you can only watch your beloved woman being taken away by others, and watch your master being eaten.
It's a tough choice. If you want to be responsible, you have to pay the price of "maturity".
This is the helplessness of life, this is the cruelest truth of the real world.
Knowing that the person you love is right in front of you, but you can't love her, this is the most painful!
……
In the theater, the melody of "The Love of My Life" is still echoing, and the vicissitudes of life seem to see through the red dust The singing voice washes people's hearts over and over again.
The audience at the scene was still reluctant to leave, and many girls even hugged their boyfriends and cried bitterly.
The love between Supreme Treasure and Zixia is too miserable, but too real.
It is everyone's wish that a lover will eventually become a family.
But in this world, there are only a few people who can come together in love in the end.
Fate put a golden hoop on the Supreme Treasure, so that he could not love.
Reality will also put an invisible golden hoop on these fans, making them dare not love.
This is a material and realistic society.
The various invisible shackles in society are not even less powerful than the golden hoop.
If you don't want to become a dog with a golden hoop, you can only continue to strengthen yourself and become more powerful than the villain of the "Bull Demon King", so as not to be swayed by fate.
This is also the reason why Peng Yichen has worked hard to make movies in recent years.
He doesn't want to give in in front of reality, and he also doesn't want the people he loves and his fans to give in.
So he wants to give this classic "Journey to the West" in his previous life to his beloved Yu Jing, as well as to all fans and audiences, hoping that they can finally overcome the shackles of reality.
Do what you love with the people you love.
After the ending song, Yu Jing's crying finally became quieter.
"Well, don't cry. Peng Yichen grabbed Taijing's shoulders and comforted softly.
"Woo... I'm going to cry. ”
After speaking, the tears that Yu Jingcai had withdrawn rushed out again. Peng Yichen really had a big head when he heard it!
"Why, why did you let the Supreme Treasure wear a golden hoop, why did you let the Bull Demon King capture Zixia. Can't we just let them be happy together, can't we give them a happy ending?"
Although Yu Jing has known this ending for a long time, it is still a little unacceptable when she really sees the complete movie.
She slapped Peng Yichen weakly, wanting to get an answer from him.
But Peng Yichen can't give this answer, and neither can the Supreme Treasure.
"In the end, the samurai reincarnated by the Supreme Treasure and the woman reincarnated by Zixia are not together. That's the best ending. As for the Monkey King, he is the responsibility of the Supreme Treasure, so he must continue to travel west. Peng Yichen explained to Yu Jing in a low voice.
……
In the audience at the back, whether it was ordinary audiences, media reporters, or film critics, they were silent at the moment about this poignant ending.
For critics in particular, the film has exceeded their initial expectations.
If you only look at the surface plot, "Journey to the West" is indeed an ordinary commercial movie.
There are super-first-class special effects pictures, super funny bridges, and parting love.
But underneath these surfaces, "Journey to the West" has too many unspeakable connotations.
The setting of the moonlight treasure box alone breaks the time and space order of the film and brings wonderful changes in the structure of the film.
It makes these film critics feel extremely excited.
Not to mention the various metaphors that can be seen everywhere in the movie, such as: the portrait of Guanyin, the Water Curtain Cave, the Pansi Cave, the Three Moles, Bodhi and Grape, Zixia and Bai Jingjing's master-apprentice identity, etc.
It can be said that "Journey to the West" has indeed subverted "Journey to the West" and almost changed the plot of "Journey to the West" beyond recognition.
But the film critics who really understand "Journey to the West" know in their hearts that Peng Yichen respects the original work of "Journey to the West" the most.
In the original work of "Journey to the West", Tang Seng is a Buddhist monk who is speechless, black-bellied, and very determined.
Sun Wukong has indeed always wanted to kill Tang Seng.
It's just that over the years, in various film and television works, they have never only shown the beautiful side of Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, but never exposed their dark side.
To a certain extent, "Journey to the West" is actually the movie that respects the original book the most, but what he respects is not the story itself, but the character of "Journey to the West".
At the end of the movie, the four masters and apprentices returned to the road to learn scriptures in the west.
The things that happened to Sun Wukong before seemed to be just a dream.
In the end, the moonlight treasure box washed away the memories of the four Tang monks and apprentices, or Sun Wukong was originally dreaming.
Peng Yichen's expression in this movie is so rich that these critics don't even dare to comment on it.
They all decided that they would have to watch the movie a few more times before they dared to write a review.
……
The audience, of course, did not have as many as the critics thought, and they were still immersed in the tragic mood of the film's ending.
"I feel so uncomfortable watching it, didn't the media say that this is a comedy romance movie? Woo, Peng Yichen, I hate you!" said a girl sobbing.
"It turns out that the four words "Journey to the West" mean to make you look at "Journey to the West", which was originally a comedy, as a tragedy?"
"Laughing and crying, crying and laughing. ”
There were also some viewers who didn't cry, but their expressions were heavier than those who didn't.
They felt the despair and loneliness of the movie Dao, which felt deeply powerless against fate, and they seemed to see their own shadow in the Supreme Treasure.
That's a dog that faces reality and has to bow its head!
Almost no one remembers "Journey to the West" as a comedy movie.
The film is completely over, because this is not the official premiere scene, Peng Yichen originally planned to leave immediately with Yu Jing.
But seeing that many of the audience were still immersed in sadness, they could only walk on the stage and pick up the microphone handed over by the staff.
"Thank you...... Thank you for coming to watch this movie. I hope you can enjoy "Journey to the West" ......"
The audience below who was in a state of ups and downs didn't listen to Peng Yichen's words at all, and shouted: "I don't want to hear anything else!" I just want to know, why don't you give Supreme Treasure and Zixia a perfect ending!"
"Yes, we don't listen to you say anything else, I'm going to listen to an explanation!"
"What about a good comedy romance movie? This is obviously a tragedy movie. You big liar! ”
The people in the audience broke out, everyone really loved and hated Peng Yichen, and loved him for dedicating a classic movie to everyone.
But I also hate him for not giving this movie a happy ending.
The surrounding media reporters and several film critics also watched the audience with great interest.
Some reporters even thought of the title, "At the premiere of "Journey to the West", the audience scolded Peng Yichen for being a big liar on the spot!"
It's guaranteed to be the front page headline tomorrow morning, haha!
……
On stage, Peng Yichen was also in a cold sweat, and the audience's reaction was not at all different from what he imagined.
Shouldn't the audience shout "Long live Peng Yichen, the movie is so good"?
"Let's calm down first...... Peng Yichen slowed down his tone and tried to comfort as much as possible.
The audience still shouted unrelentingly.
"It's not cool!"
"Don't listen, don't listen. ”
"I just want a happy ending, so that Zixia and Supreme Treasure can come together!"
……
After the audience finished shouting, Peng Yichen slowly exhaled a breath, and saw that the audience was sitting precariously waiting for his answer, and did not make any more trouble, so he slowly spoke.
"Many viewers complained that "Journey to the West" is not a comedy in your mind, but it is the best comedy in my mind. I've heard the saying, 'Tragedy destroys the worthwhile things in life, and comedy tears apart the worthless things for men.'" "Journey to the West" is such a comedy movie, which tears apart the worthless in life, and in the end, it makes everyone feel sad. ”
Peng Yichen's words made the eyes of film critics shine, this sentence that Mr. Lu Xun said in his previous life, but it has never appeared in this life.
Looking at the audience, listening to his words and slowly falling into deep thought, Peng Yichen opened his mouth and continued.
"I admit that the ending of "Journey to the West" does have some sad content. But I'm sure everyone is still laughing most of the time when they watch this movie.
At the end of the movie, although Supreme Treasure and Zixia did not get together, they were still a pair of lovers in another time and space. Let's imagine, if "Journey to the West" didn't end like it now, would everyone still like this movie so much?
This is what I think is the best thing about "Journey to the West", maybe life is not satisfactory, but we still have poetry and distance. ”
The audience was moved by Peng Yichen's statement. Although they still can't accept the final ending, just as Peng Yichen said, if "Journey to the West" has a different ending, it will no longer be a classic movie that has made people laugh and cry.
Offstage, Peng Yichen's veteran fan, Jiating, the temperamental beauty queen in Shanghai, rushed from Shanghai to Kyoto this time just to watch "Journey to the West" with Peng Yichen.
After watching the movie, she neither cried nor laughed, but just felt a burst of sadness and helplessness that penetrated deep into her bone marrow.
He never thought that a comedy, love, magic, and commercial movie could bring such a big shock and emotion to people.
At this time, hearing Peng Yichen's interpretation of "Journey to the West", she completely confirmed that this is definitely a classic movie.
She wants to pay tribute to Peng Yichen, who presented such a classic movie to fans.
Just do it when you think of it, Wang Jiating stood up and applauded Peng Yichen on the stage with all her strength.
Around, the rest of the audience also seemed to be infected, and they also stood up and applauded. Even, a few girls who were still crying wiped their tears and applauded.
On the stage, Peng Yichen smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you, thank you for your support." ”
In the blink of an eye, Peng Yichen went from being crusaded by fans to being paid tribute by countless fans in an instant.
The surrounding reporters hurriedly pressed the shutter and recorded this beautiful moment.
Next to Peng Yichen, Yu Jing, whose eyes were still a little ruddy, also smiled, she looked at Peng Yichen deeply, and listened to the audience dedicate applause to her man, and a sense of pride arose.
I don't know if the atmosphere of the scene infected her, Yu Jing actually took Peng Yichen's hand, and in his surprised gaze, he took the initiative to kiss Peng Yichen in public for the first time.
Although Peng Yichen was a little surprised, he quickly reacted.
He hugged Yu Jing with his backhand, and the two kissed each other unpassionately.
The stage at this moment seems to be like the city tower at the end of "Journey to the West".
It's romantic and intoxicating!
The couples in the audience saw it and were deeply moved, and they all kissed together.
Reporters watched the spectacular and romantic cinema scene!
The sound of "click" was connected, and with the camera in his hand, he recorded this dream-like beautiful scene.
