Chapter 1235: The Boom of Chinese Mythology

Before the broadcast of "Journey to the West", every corner of the world, including the Chinese people themselves, had an extremely vague impression of the "Chinese mythological world" that Su Shengren said before.

Even if some are involved in "Sword and Fairy Costume", most people still don't know which immortals are in the so-called Chinese mythology?

And "Journey to the West" almost only took three episodes to show the entire Chinese mythological genealogy to everyone.

Many fans of the drama are on the radio program and on the Internet, enthusiastically discussing the origin and position of the gods in "Journey to the West".

"It turns out that people die and are asked for their lives by black and white impermanence, and then go to the Hades Hall to be judged by the judge for good and evil, and then look at which of the six realms of reincarnation~ This Hades is equivalent to Hades, the king of Hades?"

"No, no, there are ten halls of Hades, and there is more than one Yama. ”

"There is a dragon palace in the water, and the four dragon kings of the southeast, northwest and southeast are in charge of the water and rainfall, this is the sea god Poseidon?

"The most powerful heavenly soldiers and generals in the Heavenly Palace are the third prince of Nezha, and Erlang God, I don't know what the origin of these two people is, they are much more powerful than the four heavenly kings. ”

"Haha, one of the four heavenly kings has a magic weapon that is an umbrella, it's really interesting~"

The audience also got to know the Eight Immortals, the Giant Spirit God, the Barefoot Great Immortal, and the Bodhisattvas from all walks of life, making "Journey to the West" completely a popular education of Chinese mythological genealogy.

In the professional media, European and American drama critics also gave "Journey to the West" the highest level of praise, and the editor of the "New York Times" sighed:

"In order not to spoil people who haven't watched it yet, I just want to say that "Journey to the West" is really beyond all imagination and expectations, although it has only been broadcast for three episodes, it is enough to go down in the history of television.

My friends who work in the TV industry around me have all lamented despair after watching this series, they were all stabbed by the Chinese mythological drama produced by Su Huai.

This is the most cruel scene for any film and television practitioner, because the appearance of this "Journey to the West" has greatly increased the aesthetics and expectations of audiences around the world for fantasy dramas.

Journey to the West will definitely become a cultural phenomenon, and this will be the first time that the East has completely overwhelmed Hollywood in film and television culture.

If you are still prejudiced against Chinese culture, and stubbornly believe that they will only plagiarize and follow trends, then you are left behind, and if you resist the popularity of "Journey to the West", I can even say that you are hindering the development of the world in a better way......"

From the "Hollywood Letter Man" column, the famous "Star Wars" director Lucas said:

"I was surprised, I didn't discuss the storytelling of this series, I was simply shocked by his scenes, originally I thought that the Chinese people would be limited by cost and technology, and they would pass by the depiction of the heavenly palace and the gods and immortals.

But as it turned out, I couldn't have been more wrong.

Under the premise of sparing no cost, this "Journey to the West" produced by Su Huai mobilized the famous architecture and costume expert Dr. Hua and others of the Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts to produce the whole picture of the Heavenly Palace.

Today, I learned that Su Huai actually built the detailed scenery of thirty-three heavenly palaces in their film and television city, including the Cloud Palace, Wuming Palace, Lingxu Palace, Huale Palace, etc., and also used special effects to make seventy-two treasure halls.

When the audience watched the second episode, they saw that the hall lived in the jade unicorn, as well as the famous flowers that have not been thanked for thousands of years on the birthday star platform, the old gentleman refining demon furnace, and the evergreen Seocho.

When the heavenly drum sounds, the king of the Ten Thousand Saints Dynasty sees the Jade Emperor, the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the Caifeng Pearl Gate, and the corridor of the compound road, everywhere is exquisite, and the scenery is gorgeous.

Comparative...... The King's Landing Castle in Game of Thrones before seemed to be as desolate as a ruined abandoned car factory in a small town......"

And action film producer Cade expressed his feelings on "New European Movie":

""Journey to the West" is the best action work I have ever seen, after he got rid of the limits of manpower, he designed all kinds of wonderful and fast fights, and there were all kinds of amazing ideas, Sun Wukong's monkey hair clone, Nezha's three heads and six arms, and Erlang God's supernatural changes, all of which are the most amazing scenes in film and television history.

Now turn your head and look at "Batman", "Superman", and we shoot those so-called superheroes, except for showing off their muscles, it is completely worthless.

In comparison, even the superman in superhero culture does not have charismatic superpowers like Monkey King, Erlang God, and Nezha.

I even learned that the two great gods of Erlang God and Nezha also have their own stories, and Su Huai mentioned a little bit when he was repairing the genealogy of Chinese mythology before, but he did not go into details.

This also means that although "Journey to the West" is already so grand, it is only a drop in the bucket of Chinese mythology and culture......"

Lucas exclaimed, representing Hollywood's fear of the "Journey to the West" craze, according to the market analysis of various media, the market audience of "Journey to the West" covers almost all ages.

Fantasy fans, kung fu movie fans, children who like cartoon animals, and even scenery film fans and music fans have joined the tide of watching.

Usually a work, mixed with so many elements, will give people a sense of chaos or "mess", but in fact, no one thinks that these factors are abrupt when put together.

It's as if they are naturally fused together, as if they belong to one system.

This also indirectly proves that all aspects of the Chinese culture restored by Su Huai originate from an aesthetic and spiritual system! Otherwise, it would not be possible to present such a harmonious and perfect feeling to people no matter what.

Under the praise from all walks of life, the broadcast of "Journey to the West" the next day was even more amazing.

Sun Wukong was refined by the Samadhi True Fire in the alchemy furnace, but he became a fiery eye, and when the Monkey King rushed to the heavens and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he finally pressed down with the Five Fingers Mountain, a series of thrilling stories, which pushed the plot to **.

After the broadcast of "Journey to the West" on the second day, in the early morning of New European time, Mountbatten and Kirk were in the office, without resting, but silently waiting for the latest viewers of "Journey to the West".

They are waiting for the final miracle, hoping that "Game of Thrones" can turn defeat into victory, maybe "Journey to the West" lacks stamina and the ratings plummeted the next day?

Mountbatten walked back and forth in the room, while Kirk tapped his fingers on the tabletop.

"Can you stop knocking it?" said Mountbatten with a gloomy face, but Kirk didn't raise his eyelids, and then he saw Mountbatten's secretary come in, and said with a pale face:

"The audience statistics for this round are out. ”

"How much?" Mountbatten took a deep breath, his voice trembling.

"1,373.75 million viewers......"
