Chapter 217: After the Premiere

It's nearly twelve o'clock when I get home after the press conference, and the first show of "The Return of the Great Sage" must have started at this time!

Turning on the computer, Li Mu wanted to see the audience's comments, Li Mu still cared more about "The Return of the Great Sage" than "Thai Embarrassment", in addition to the cost of more than 200 million yuan, this was filmed by him himself after all.

And the success of the animated version of "The Return of the Great Sage" does not necessarily mean that the live-action version adapted by Li Mu can also be successful.

"It's the third time I've watched it this time, although the special effects can't be compared with a 3D blockbuster like "Avatar", but it's already very good that a 2D movie can do this, the picture is beautiful enough and the fight is smooth enough, the plot is not complicated, there are all smiles and tears, the great sage is handsome at 360 degrees without dead ends, no matter how painful it is, he can't be known to the little kid, the indomitable character building of love and righteousness is great, and as soon as the music sounded, I immediately started to burn it!"

"The Great Sage once thought that Rulai Lao'er was the most annoying person in the world, until he met Jiang Liu'er! Is the giant spirit god very big, is the Four Heavenly Kings brothers, is Nezha male or female, does the Tota Heavenly King have a tower, does the Erlang God really have three eyes, oops... I'll go laugh first!"

"Go ahead, be careful. Master Fa Ming grabbed the little monk's thin arm, and finally let go, leaving only a trembling word of instruction. The little monk turned around and showed his shiny white teeth, clenching his little fists, yes, Master!

This thin old man in ragged clothes and a hat and coat has no doubt about the importance of Jiang Liuer's character formation. Picking up the abandoned child from the river, it was he who raised this lively and agile child with a soup and a meal. He is playful, full of life, adventurous, and not afraid of difficulties, these traits are definitely not unfounded. Look at the old man, walking alone on crutches, traveling all over the mountains and rivers, and the children in the basket also open his dark eyes to receive the freshness of all living beings in the world. Growing up, the toddler is a toddler. Fa Ming walked slowly in front of him, letting him follow tremblingly behind, letting him stumble and grope the world.

It is conceivable that a child who grows up like this, the fragrance of pines and cypresses in the deep clouds, the torrential rain during the rainstorm, the sea of soup and clouds on the peak, the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the smoke in the world, and the four dishes and one soup on the table of ordinary people will definitely be deeply rooted in his heart. Clear and filthy, noble and poor, joy and sorrow, this little child may not be able to understand it, but his body has long been comprehended before consciousness.

Although the story is simple, the characters are not thin. With cause, there is effect. With the guidance of the master and the experience of life, the little monk became this little monk. But in front of the screen, we will not doubt how such a young child can go through this hardship and take on the great task of traveling west to learn from the experience in the future. ”

"The conversation at the overnight inn was touching. The little monk woke up from a dream with a red face, and he reverently said that after returning to Chang'an City, he would recite the scriptures and listen to the Buddha, so that he could unravel the monkey's seal. Not to mention the down-and-out Great Sage who has been pressed down by the Stone Mountain for 500 years, even my eyes suddenly turned red. ”

There are praises and bad reviews, and it is impossible for a movie to be liked by everyone.

"Actually, I don't know what was played in an hour and a half, it seems to tell the story of a brave and kind little boy, and it touches the stubborn Sun Monkey. And then it ended. Countless messy chases and fights (in fact, they are not fights, they should be one by one), plus two songs in the film and at the end of the film, which are very dramatic except for the lyrics, make up this hour and a half. The dubbing is really poor, the lines are already very shallow, and if you read it palely, it will really make people angry. ”

In addition to these reviews, major entertainment websites have devoted a certain amount of space to introducing the film.

""Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" - a movie dedicated to ordinary people!" Li Mu clicked on the title.

The old monk raised Jiang Liu'er and taught him to meditate, keep his heart, and follow the right path. When the riot broke out, the old monk did not just run for his life like ordinary people, but risked his life in the city to find the orphan who had nothing to do with him strictly speaking, and once set himself on fire; when the riot broke out, Jiang Liu'er did not run away like other adults and children in the city, but picked up the flower pot bucket as a weapon to fight the mountain demon, and also saved the life of a little girl.

The old monk was bent on finding the whereabouts of the missing apprentice, and with the body of a mortal, he even crossed the mountains and rivers, found the nest of the bandits, and entered it; Jiang Liu'er was thoughtful in protecting the little girl, and in order to save the Great Sage and Marshal Tianpeng, he was also in danger many times, and the last time, he also broke into the lair of the bandits alone.

Like Jiang Liuer's master and apprentice, there seems to be more than one in the movie, such as Jiang Liuer's parents who explained at the beginning of the movie, one died in battle for the sake of protecting the people, and the other would rather be a broken jade cliff.

Many times, ordinary people with courage and a sense of justice are not much worse than the great sages, on the contrary, sometimes they are stronger.

The great sage does not have to be an elite, but more of a "Jiang Liu'er" who has truth, kindness and beauty in their hearts, "old monks" who sacrifice themselves to save others, "Jiang Dad and Jiang Ma" who are willing to give in, and every ordinary person who is silently dedicated. ”

"It's not the Great Sage who has returned, but the Buddha who has been defeated!"

"When pieces of molten metal fly onto the monkey's body, automatically forming that mighty and domineering armor, behind it, the red cloak that suddenly stretches like a flame moves with the wind; when Sun Wukong's fiery eyes are glowing, and he pulls out the golden rod from his ear; when a yellow halo suddenly appears around the Monkey King, it expands towards the empty valley until it disappears. At that moment, I knew that I was lucky enough to enjoy the coolest shot in the history of Chinese cinema in the cinema. This time, it was not the monkey who moved in to save the soldiers, but the monkeys themselves, who became rescuers. ”

"The movie portrays a flesh-and-blood Sun Monkey, not a powerful Monkey King, Sun Wukong is just a monkey with great skills in the whole plot, and its mana has been restrained until the finale, when the mana is restored, and the shackles on his body are getting heavier and heavier!"

"This is a movie above the level, the first eighty minutes are decent, the daily life of a middle-aged uncle and a funny little fart, I thought about a lot of endings at the end, imagined that Jiang Liuer died, causing Sun Wukong to erupt, but I never expected the director to choose such an ending, Sun Wukong finally bowed his head in the face of reality, this is not very our epitome, once young and frivolous, indulgent and uninhibited, but now the edges and corners have been smoothed!"

I read some comments at random, and it was almost as expected, many people said that the plot of the movie was bland, and what I could remember after watching it was the plot of the Havoc in Heaven at the beginning, and the final transformation of Sun Wukong.

However, whether it is Sun Wukong, Jiang Liuer, Fa Ming, Zhu Bajie, Chaos, or even the two little demons in the inn are impressive, and that is enough.

A movie is either attractive in terms of plot and special effects, or successful in character building, and it is good to be able to do a little bit.

The special effects of "The Return of the Great Sage" are definitely not as good as 3D movies, but they are really top in 2D movies, after all, nearly 100 million yuan is not spent in vain, plus impressive characters, the fire is inevitable.
