The craze of "E ill Rock You" is still continuing, but Zhao Zhenghao has no time to indulge in it, and completes Cui Ran's request, and Zhao Zhenghao puts all his mind into the production of "Journey to the West".

After several months of rushing production, the special effects shots of "Journey to the West" were finally completed and passed Zhao Zhenghao's acceptance.

With sufficient budget and conditions, the special effects part of Zhao Zhenghao's version of "Journey to the West" is much better than the original version, which is more in line with its content, and the viewing atmosphere created for the audience is also more satisfying.

It took a few more days to add the special effects shots to the film that had been roughly edited, Zhao Zhenghao had a sneak peek in the editing room, compared the original version, and felt that the essence was full and wonderful, and he felt quite good.

This "Journey to the West" is a joint venture film, although "Zhenghao Studio" has more than half of the shares and has an absolute controlling stake, but several other shareholders have also invested real money in it, and they need to give others an explanation.

Zhao Zhenghao gathered all the shareholders and held a small-scale internal test screening.

The upper part of "Journey to the West" was screened first, and the name was the same as the original, which was set as "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box".

The other shareholders of "Journey to the West" are all senior film investors, although they don't know much about the production process of the film, but their grasp of the quality of the finished film and their understanding of the current Dragon Kingdom film market have their own uniqueness.

watched the ninety-minute "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", and gave a certain degree of affirmation to the quality of the film.

They have all seen the overview of the film and the full version of the script, and they have a certain understanding of the story told by Zhao Zhenghao, but reading the script and watching the finished film are completely different perceptions, and the finished film is naturally more comprehensive and specific in terms of expression.

Although the title of this film contains the word "Journey to the West", the entire first half of the film actually has little to do with the familiar story of Tang Seng and Sun Wukong's master and apprentice learning scriptures in the West, and even made a drastic transformation of this classic and familiar story - that is, the so-called "big words" in the title.

The definition of "big words" is "exaggerated and unrealistic remarks", and in this sense, the name of this film is very pertinent!

"Journey to the West" means "irresponsible, exaggerated, and unrealistic interpretation of Journey to the West"!

Those shareholders praised Zhao Zhenghao's idea in this film!

How can a movie attract more people's attention and arouse the impulse of more fans to watch the movie before it is released, what Zhao Zhenghao did this time can be called a template!

In the minds of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, "Journey to the West", which has a unique status and is widely recognized, has been proven several times in recent years to be a very effective means!

Of course, if a movie wants to achieve a lot of box office results, gimmicks alone are not enough, the quality of the film itself must also be excellent, and the story told must be able to attract people and form a good reputation, so as to continue to achieve box office growth.

In this regard, Zhao Zhenghao's directorial debut "A Chinese Ghost Story" did a good job, and in the case of not being favored, with excellent quality and wonderful story, it achieved a satisfactory super high box office.

And this "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", to be honest, is slightly inferior to "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The story of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" itself is very simple, to sum up, it is that the spider spirit Chun Thirty Niang and the white bone spirit Bai Jingjing deceived the news of Tang Seng's reincarnation from the Bodhi ancestor, and came to the thief where Sun Wukong's reincarnated Supreme Treasure is located to wait for the rabbit Through time and space, Bai Jingjing rescued Bai Jingjing, but there was a lover who did not become a dependent, Bai Jingjing in order to save the Supreme Treasure to block the Bull Demon King, the Supreme Treasure accidentally traveled back to five hundred years ago when he used the "Moonlight Treasure Box" for the last time......

Among them, in the process of "some contact", a large number of funny shots are used in the film, some of which even look a little indecent, which will be criticized by the defenders, and in the professional film critics, these funny shots are also suspected of being funny for the sake of being funny, which is slightly blunt.

In general, the quality of the film of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" is still above the standard, the storyline can be justified, and the actors' performances are also in place.

Peng Jieshan played the Spring Thirty Niang, who is glamorous and overwhelming, and Feng Xiaojing played Bai Jingjing, who is charming and lovely, although it is very different from the image in the original book, it is not difficult to be accepted by fans.

Zhao Zhenghao's Supreme Treasure is a big surprise, there is no shadow of Ning Caichen on his body, and he is far from his almost perfect idol image.

If you don't know him, when you see this movie, you will only think that he is a top comedian, and you will never imagine that he is an idol who has never played such a role!

In terms of the degree of subversion of the image and the credibility of the performance, Zhao Zhenghao's performance this time can be called impeccable!

Comedy seems very simple, but in fact, it is very difficult to grasp the sense of proportion of the performance, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will use too much force, or the heat will not be enough, and you will not be able to achieve the desired effect, so that the audience can play.

Zhao Zhenghao's performance in "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" can be called a textbook, which can allow the audience to temporarily abandon his idol identity and be brought into the atmosphere created by the story by his performance.

There is a desirable side, but naturally there are many shortcomings!

It is conceivable that it is more difficult for this "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" to achieve a one-sided good reputation like "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

Especially for professional film critics, it is difficult for such a film without too deep ideological connotation to get a good evaluation, and it is difficult to say whether ordinary audiences will like this story.

However, other shareholders are still basically optimistic about the box office prospects of this "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", with Zhao Zhenghao, a super popular idol, as the foundation, and the gimmick of the three major divas in the Dragon Kingdom song industry joining in, as well as the addition of the two members of today's hottest female idol group, it is unlikely that this movie will lose money.

In the current Dragon Kingdom film circle, although every year, there will be many blockbuster movies with a box office of more than 5 billion, and the number of movies with a box office of more than 1 billion has remained above 50 for several consecutive years, and the total annual box office has exceeded 15 billion, and it is still rising steadily, and the market is hot.

However, such a hot market environment does not mean that every movie officially released in theaters is profitable!

In the Dragon Country Film Market, the number of films released in theaters every year has exceeded 1,000, and the box office exceeds 100 million, accounting for less than one-fifth, and the other four-fifths, although there are some low-cost films that can guarantee profits and profits, but more of them are all losses!

The biggest reason why those film investors attach so much importance to this "Journey to the West" and rush to invest is that they believe in Zhao Zhenghao's appeal and think that there is meat to eat with him!

Now it seems that relying on this "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" alone, I can't get enough!

However, these days, it's good to be able to eat, how can you still pick fat and thin!

Besides, "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" is only the upper part of "Journey to the West", and there is also the lower part!

left some time for shareholders to discuss before proceeding with the test screening of the next part of "Journey to the West".

As a film that has to be split into two parts because the content of the film is too rich, watching "Journey to the West" is to watch the two parts completely in order to taste the connotation hidden in it.

This love tragedy dressed in a comedy is actually not so superficial as the film appears on the surface, but has a rich movie connotation.

The theme of the film hidden behind the love tragedy is actually the discussion of "big love" and "small love" in Buddhism!

As a person with the destiny of "heaven descending from heaven", how to choose between the small love in the world and the great love that cares for the world is an eternal problem!

This problem is difficult to deal with in front of ordinary people, let alone in the naturally unruly Monkey King?

In fact, in the whole "Journey to the West", Supreme Treasure's performance most of the time is greedy for life and afraid of death, clever and colorful, and his biggest ability is to escape from the battle, which is not the slightest resemblance to the Monkey King who stands up to the sky and the earth in people's impressions.

Treating "big love" and "little love", Supreme Treasure has always been confused, neither like the Monkey King at the beginning of the story who is self-serving, wanton and reckless, nor as enlightened as the Monkey King at the end of the story, he has actually been evading.

Is Supreme Bao's affection for Bai Jingjing really so deep?

He fell in love with Bai Jingjing in human form at first sight, but after knowing Bai Jingjing's true face, this relationship built on the sand had collapsed, and later cooperated with Bodhi Ancestor to catch demons, which was his truest performance.

And he also knows that what Bai Jingjing loves is not him, but his previous life Sun Wukong!

At that time, he didn't believe that he was the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, or rather, he subconsciously resisted the identity of Sun Wukong's reincarnation!

Although he has been reincarnated for 500 years and the memories of his previous life have been completely forgotten, the difficult choice between "big love" and "small love" still has a deep-rooted impact on him, making him subconsciously want to escape this choice!

And the best way to escape this choice is to think that he is not the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, everything in his previous life has nothing to do with him five hundred years later, in order to achieve this purpose, he even hypnotized himself, and fell in love with Bai Jingjing "sincerely", even if he met his true destiny, he "did not change his original intention"!

However, everything is providence, everything is fate, and no one can escape!

After all, the Supreme Treasure still can't escape the will of heaven after all, and can't withstand the arrangement of fate, and finally accepts the "great task from heaven", between "big love" and "small love", chooses "big love", chooses to take on his own responsibility, voluntarily takes the golden hoop, and embarks on the road to the west to learn the scriptures.

This layer of true meaning hidden behind all kinds of superficial fog is difficult to appreciate only by watching the film once! Even if you don't have rich life experience, you can't understand it.

However, if you can't understand what the movie really wants to say, it won't have much impact on the viewing experience of ordinary audiences, and the vast majority of audiences walk into the cinema just to adjust their lives and relax.

The comedy of "Journey to the West" can accomplish this task very well, and for ordinary audiences, this is enough!

In particular, in "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marrying", the classic lines are endless, and the funny scenes are much more sincere than the previous part, and the emotional turn at the end of the film is also very moving.

Just one "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" can recover all the costs for the investors of this movie, and the box office share of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marries" is all net earnings, even if the box office of the two films is the same, it can also double the investment of shareholders, such a beautiful thing is rare in the current Dragon Kingdom film circle.

After the preview screening, shareholders are more optimistic about the prospects of "Journey to the West", especially in "Nine Star Entertainment", which only accounts for 5% of the shares, as the exclusive distributor of this film, in order to ensure that its own interests are maximized, it has increased by 30% on the established publicity and distribution costs!

The reason why "Nine Star Entertainment" works so hard in the distribution is that in addition to ensuring that its direct income in this film can be maximized, there is another very important reason.

In the finished film of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", the most outstanding female character is the Spring Thirty Niang played by Peng Jieshan, but in the official publicity, the heroine is Bai Jingjing played by Feng Xiaojing, and the heroine of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marries", Zixia Fairy played by Yu Yabin, is the best one!

And Feng Xiaojing and Yu Yabin are both "Nine Star Entertainment". Members of Y.

. Although Y is now a first-line group in the Dragon Kingdom music circle and is in full popularity, the three members of the group are still small characters in the Dragon Kingdom film circle, and they do not have any commendable achievements.

This "Journey to the West" can be said to be directly related to the future and fate of Feng Xiaojing and Yu Yabin in the Dragon Kingdom film industry!

If "Journey to the West" is successful, as the heroines, Feng Xiaojing and Yu Yabin can use this to gain a foothold in the Dragon Kingdom film circle;

Become a front-line in the music industry,. Y's upside is already very limited, and if you want to go further and further enhance your popularity, you can only hope for a breakthrough in the film and television industry.
