Looking at this beginning, someone in the front row was already sighing: "The background of "Journey to the West" is not inferior to "The Lord of the Rings...... The level of special effects is also cinematic. ”

In terms of visual effects, the production is so good, "Game of Thrones" and "Journey to the West" can be said to be a tie.

In just two minutes, the audience found that they couldn't take their eyes off, not only for the real and vivid audio-visual enjoyment, but also because of the amazement of seeing such a new and magnificent world in front of their eyes.

Everyone was choked by the mud splashed by the little stone monkey when he ran, and he turned over the big leaves that could be reached all the way, intoxicated to enjoy running barefoot on the dirt, and was frightened by the phoenix-winged bird that suddenly flew overhead and fell to the ground and splashed water, felt the comfort of the breeze blowing on the cheeks and the slight undulation of the hair, and marveled at the shocking feeling of the ancient monster rumbling in front of them and the ground trembling slightly.

There is no dialogue, but it makes everyone in the audience enjoy it.

Kirk, Singer, and Cameron all looked at each other with amazement, because the "stone monkey" in this long shot is so lifelike, just like a real monkey, but his figure is clearly a person.

Shi Singer couldn't help muttering: "This special effect has invested a lot of money, and it is still a bit of a standard." ”

"This texture can't be a special effect...... It's like makeup. Cameron stammered a little:

"The bones and muscle composition of the human face are very different from those of apes...... This stone monkey is clearly a human face. ”

Faces?

How is it possible, this is clearly a monkey?

Everyone thought it was impossible, but if they looked closely, they could clearly see the smart charm of Sun Wukong's eyes in the close-up, which was completely alive!

"Could it be that this is a real person!?" said Cherzinger, dumbfounded.

When everyone secretly said in their hearts: "It's impossible", if it was played by a real person, then how amazing this person's acting skills were, and they saw monkeys pouring out of the mountains and fields on Monkey Mountain.

Each monkey is similar to the stone monkey, but the action is charming, but there is a difference, in such a comparison, everyone gasps, these monkeys are all played by people!

But just like that, I watched Zhang Jinlai play the "stone monkey" close-up shot, he grabbed his ears and cheeks, ate a big peach, turned around and gnawed on the skin, a pair of monkey eyes flashed and moved, and finally lifted the whole long peel with his hand, that vivid posture has made everyone confused!

"Is this a man or a monkey?"

"I guess I found a monkey to play this scene, right?"

"Special effects, it must be visual effects!"

At the Oscars, the judges often think that the greatest actor is the one who breaks through to play a role with a very different personality, which is the most impressive, so you play a disabled, elderly, or transgender person, which is considered to be the most superb performance.

But the acting skills of this "Journey to the West" are cross-species...... This is unheard of in the film and television industry all over the world!

How is it possible for a human being to make such a show?

At this time, Ji Qiaoqiao leaned forward and laughed in the ears of Singer and Kirk:

"This is called the Chinese monkey opera, is one of the ancient Chinese opera, you see this Zhang Jinlai teacher, since the age of 8 to learn monkey opera, all kinds of basic skills training not to mention, the later two years of monkey boxing, three years of monkey sticks, just this 'monkey eat peach' action, he practiced for more than a year. ”

Singer and Kirk turned their heads and showed incredible expressions at the same time, there is still such a way of acting in the world?

When everyone listened, they all thought in their hearts: Compared with this, Serkis, who is known as the "master" in Hollywood, is just a pediatric......

At the beginning of "Game of Thrones", it is a horror and strange ghost constructed with the most cutting-edge visual effects technology in Hollywood, shocking, and using fear and cold oppression to make people enter the story and cannot extricate themselves.

However, "Journey to the West" uses the most traditional Chinese opera actors to express the emotions of animals by themselves, and impresses you with the innocence and kindness of the little stone monkey, a small animal that gives birth to the most beautiful emotions when you look at it.

The two techniques are completely different, and they also express the very different emotional expressions of the East and the West.

At the beginning of "Journey to the West", it was full of warmth, and the stone monkey was carefree in front of his own monkey king, until the old monkey clan died, and the stone monkey who had become the monkey king scratched his ears and cheeks, and was in a hurry.

In order to seek immortality for the monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave, the Monkey King resolutely went to sea to visit the ancient cave fairy mountain and seek the way of immortality.

When everyone saw this, they only listened to the living Arhats in the back row, and suddenly chanted: "Amitabha, this Monkey King really has the Buddha's heart to save the world." ”

In the historical records, Shakyamuni Buddha was originally a prince, because he saw the people dying and wanted to solve the ultimate problem of human beings in life, old age, sickness and death, so he visited famous teachers.

This Monkey King has the same ambition?

I only listened to the front row of the chairman of the Indian Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Ula, very unhappy:

"Little monkey, how can you be compared to the Buddha! The Chinese are really ridiculous! They simply want to slander the Buddha!?"

But the living arhat laughed loudly and said, "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, why can't this monkey become a Buddha?"

Everyone thought it was novel, there are many myths and religions all over the world, and they all have their own gods and masters, but they have never heard of animals that can become gods and Buddhas.

Even in polytheistic Hinduism, the animal-like gods are just changes in their supernatural powers.

Ulla, chairman of the Indian Federation of Literary and Art Circles, couldn't help but be furious when he heard this:

"Ridiculous! Shakyamuni can become a Buddha because he is a prince and a monk, only a person like him who has great blessings and supreme dignity can become a Buddha, this little stone monkey has no father and no mother, it is a stone that jumps out, how can he become a Buddha!"

At this time, I heard someone in the back row laughing: "Ula, that is the ignorance of your Indian caste system, these origins, bloodlines are all bullshit at all, don't you know, our ancient Chinese people said: 'Princes and princes will have a kind of Xiangning', in our China, everyone is qualified to become a Buddha and become holy." ”

Ula was furious, but when she turned her head, she saw that it was Su Huai who was speaking, and she was immediately speechless.

Other people say that this is arrogant, but Su Shengren said that no one can refute it, it should be as if he himself jumped out of a crack in the stone, stirring up the entire world literary world, and his prestige spread far and wide.

When Su Huai said this, his eyes were bright, and the confidence in his heart that "Journey to the West" would win "Game of Thrones" came from this.

Although "Game of Thrones" is known as a fantasy epic, it has not escaped the fatalism of family, bloodline, and fate.

The male and female protagonists are the descendants of the Dragon Targaryen, and the other important characters are the second generation of the "King of the North", the descendants of the major nobles.

This fantasy story, no matter how wonderful the plot is, is full of that bloodline, racial superiority, and the natural bloodline racial superiority in the Western world, just like that.

In "Journey to the West", the description is a story of equality, a fatherless and purposeless stone monkey who became a Buddha and became a saint.

Like this, not believing in heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, only believing in one's own heroic spirit is the most precious "universal value" in China!!
