Chapter 325. "Langya Bang"!
The next day-
Yin Tianyou, together with the great director Tsui Hark, and the king of comedy Zhou Xingchi, filmed the sequel to "Journey to the West" together.
Among these three people, any one of them is enough to set off huge waves in China Entertainment and Korean entertainment, and now together, that kind of power is even more overwhelming.
As a result, major media in Hong Kong, the mainland, Japan, and South Korea have made very enthusiastic and detailed reports on this matter.
Among them, the mainland network reports are the most special and eye-catching.
Introduction: There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, this is a literary saying under the strength of Western culture, it is said that the 21st century is the century of the Chinese, so today please allow us to be a little nationalistic and change this sentence to, "There are a thousand Monkey Kings in the eyes of a thousand people".
The same "Journey to the West" has different results when read by different people. Recently, the most eye-catching news of Chinese movies is that by South Korea's most successful Asian king, Yin Tianyou, who looks like a super beautiful man, invested 400 million yuan and built a bridge from it, by Zhou Xingchi, the most outstanding comedian in China, and China's most successful martial arts and stunt director Tsui Hark, respectively, as the producer and director of "Journey to the West", which is the sequel to "Journey to the West", the film will start filming this summer.
According to Mr. Yin Tianyou, who is a Chinese, he has liked the classical Chinese literature "Journey to the West" since he was a child, in addition to being a star himself, as the president of the entertainment group, Yin Tianyou has always had a soft spot for the team of "Journey to the West", and his understanding of "Journey to the West" is like this:
"There are two classic teams in China, one Liu Guanzhang team, which is once in a thousand years, which is extremely rare. There is also the Tang Seng team. This is the most realistic, because there are many leaders like Tang Seng, who don't know what they're doing with a lot of nonsense, but they are very persistent; Sun Wukong is very capable and has a lot of mistakes, there are such people in every class, very annoying but indispensable; Zhu Bajie is lazy. But I like to be positive and optimistic and have a sense of humor; Monk Sha is so wonderful, don't tell me about blind ideals, really go to work. Together, these four people form the most perfect team in China. ”
As one of Korea's leading entertainment tycoons, Mr. Yoon Cheon-woo certainly has a deeper understanding of the team than we do. His view of Journey to the West is realistic, and he takes learning from the scriptures as an entertainment goal to complete. Let's listen to this point, it doesn't have much to do with him anyway.
As China's most imaginative director, Tsui Hark also has a decades-long relationship with Journey to the West, as he has said many times. One of the movies he must make in his life is "Journey to the West", and he said that all the movies he made seemed to be preparing for this "Journey to the West". He has also talked about the possibility of filming Journey to the West many times, and he said that the monkey's shoulders are down, which is different from people, so he can't use people to play them.
Monkeys can only be made with computers, but world cinema stunts have never been able to do that. Until the 3D Glenn character in The Lord of the Rings 2, produced by Weta Special Effects, appeared. made it possible to shoot "Journey to the West" in Tsui Hark's eyes, Tsui Hark once said that filming "Journey to the West" has a much larger special effects capacity than "The Lord of the Rings", because most of the shots in "The Lord of the Rings" are real shots, while "Journey to the West" goes to heaven and earth, and almost all scenes and characters use special effects. The amount of special effects is amazing, which is one of the reasons why "Journey to the West" has not been filmed for a long time.
Because of his earth-shattering imagination and eclectic innovative spirit, in Hong Kong, film critic Shi Qi directly called Tsui Hark the Monkey King of the film industry, and made a big havoc in the world of Hong Kong films. Defeat all established rules. Tsui Hark's love for the Monkey King stems from the similarities in his personality with the Monkey King.
When it comes to the fate of Xing Ye and Sun Wukong, it can be said that he is a household name, a "Journey to the West", not only makes the whole people memorize the lines of "10,000 years", but also makes Sun Wukong, who is like a dog, become synonymous with Xing Ye. Twenty years after "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingchi completely gave up acting for the first time and completely concentrated on directing, and he still filmed Journey to the West. This Journey to the West is very different from the Journey to the West in the impression of ordinary audiences, but it is the movie closest to the details of the original work of "Journey to the West", such as the cannibalism of Sha Seng and Bajie, which is terrifying and abnormal, but in the original work, Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie both described their cannibalism experience when they met Tang Seng, but later beautified versions of Journey to the West are often unwilling to face this point. In addition, in the original novel, it is written that Sun Wukong is four feet tall and has a Lei Gong face, and only Zhou Xingchi's Sun Wukong has restored this image.
As a continuation of "Journey to the West", the biggest change in the film is that "Journey to the West" is from the perspective of Sun Wukong, and the audience sees a supreme treasure struggling in the world, while "Journey to the West" is standing on the position of Tang Seng and is already a compassionate heart, which is a portrayal of Zhou Xingchi's mentality who has believed in Buddhism and worked hard to leave people's field of vision.
Tsui Hark and Zhou Xingchi, this is an unprecedented collision in Chinese films, as the most genius and childlike in Chinese films, and the most famous monster with a strong desire to control and difficult to cooperate, what will the monkey born by Zhou Xingchi and Tsui Hark look like?
Both are fans of comics, and their works are heavily influenced by comics. Tsui Hark can draw and has the level of a painter. Zhou Xingchi's lens design is whimsical and has a strong sense of comics.
Tsui Hark once said, I like Zhou Xingchi very much, but I don't like the pessimism of his works.
As the king of comedy, receiving this evaluation, it can also be said that Tsui Hark is Zhou Xingchi's confidant.
In fact, Tsui Hark often shoots tragedies, but in the end there is always bright hope. Zhou Xingchi's filming is all comedy, but it can always make people cry and sad.
What will the epic "Journey to the West" look like for the two to collaborate?
Can he have Tsui Hark's whimsy and Zhou Xingchi's ghosts?
Can the film have both Tsui Hark's lofty heroic feelings and Zhou Xingchi's strong human warmth?
There are a thousand Monkey Kings in the eyes of a thousand people.
Sun Wukong has a demonic nature, but he also has the spirit of overthrowing authority and pursuing freedom.
Judging from his past works, Zhou Xingchi values the former more, while Tsui Hark values the latter more.
Will such differences lead to irreconcilability, or will they stimulate each other? Achieving each other?
Perhaps, this will be an unhappy cooperation, perhaps, this is the most colorful legend in Chinese film history.
……
As soon as this report came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire China Entertainment market, and Yin Tianyou's newly established "Tianyi Media" also relied on this news. For the first time, it entered the eyes of all China Entertainment bigwigs.
For this young man who became famous in South Korea, from a singer to a tycoon, many people are dismissive, and only a few people who know the details of Yoon Tianyou are nervous and have a wolf posture.
Yes, the path that Yin Tianyou has experienced is too legendary, from an unliterate JYP trainee, in just four or five years, he has become the king of Korea. Now that Cheng has been promoted to the chairman of South Korea's premier entertainment group, the entertainment tycoon, a young man who controls tens of billions of dollars, is about to officially enter the Chinese entertainment market, which makes those who know his background not be surprised.
Of course, more people are waiting to see the jokes, after all, the world of mainland Chinese entertainment is not something that an outsider can play, so what if you have money. I don't know the rules of the game here, there is no good work. Without a strong influence, you are nothing.
As an outsider, Yin Tianyou certainly understands this, and even has the consciousness of being excluded very early, but he is the kind of personality that the more you exclude me, the more I look forward to the ruthless personality around you.
So after getting some of the work of "Journey to the West Sequel". Yin Tianyou flew directly to Shanghai, the mainland, and started another huge project, that is, to shoot a TV series!
China is a huge market with a population of more than a billion people, and while the film market is booming, the television market is also growing by leaps and bounds.
Especially when I'm in Korea. Yin Tianyou knows that Korean dramas are very popular in the mainland, like "You from the Stars", which he participated in, is so popular in the mainland. Not to mention the recent Korean dramas, such as "The Age of Gratitude", "Emergency Men and Women", as well as "Pinocchio" and "HEALER", etc., are all popular in the mainland.
It can be seen that Korean TV dramas have a deep impact on the mainland, and the ancillary products of these film and television works are also selling well in the mainland. Based on this, Yin Tianyou believes that if you want to enter the Chinese entertainment market, you must insist on grasping both with both hands, and you must not let go of film and television.
When Yin Tianyou took a plane and flew to Shanghai International Airport, it was none other than Andy who came to pick him up.
That's right, it's Liu Dehua.
Yin Tianyou and Liu Dehua didn't meet each other when they were in Hong Kong, but now they meet a few times in Shanghai, which is really interesting.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
It's all in plain sight.
As stars, Andy and Yin Tianyou took a more secret channel to avoid being surrounded by those fans and fans.
I don't know who leaked the news, as soon as the two walked out of the airport, they were surrounded by a large number of fans.
I saw that the black pressure was full of heads, Liu Dehua was a little better, there were the most people who surrounded Yin Tianyou, and most of them were girls, all of them with excited expressions, shouting: "God bless Oba, FIVE Oba!" I like you, I love you, rubbing the waves! But the most shouted "Professor Du".
Yin Tianyou didn't expect that "You from the Star" had been a year or two in the past, and these people were still so worried about themselves.
How did he know that since he became famous in the mainland, with his outstanding achievements in the film industry, his fame has not only not decreased, but also risen steadily, and now he has become the first "Oba" in the hearts of mainland girls.
Seeing that Yin Tianyou was so popular, even Liu Dehua was a little jealous, thinking that when he was the most popular, he was not as popular as Tianyou.
Finally, with the help of the airport staff, they dispersed those enthusiastic fans, Yin Tianyou and Liu Dehua got a star nanny car, and ran all the way towards the hotel where Yin Tianyou stayed.
Grand Hyatt Hotel, Shanghai.
When Yin Tianyou finally took a shower, wiped his hair and walked out of the bathroom, Liu Dehua threw him a can of cold beer: "How is it, how do you feel?" ”
"The people here are so welcoming." Yin Tianyou sighed.
"Hehe, a big country of more than a billion people, how can it not be enthusiastic." Liu Dehua said with a smile, "But I still admire you and dare to set the investment project here." ”
"What, there are tigers here?"
"There are no tigers, but there are a lot of big sharks." Liu Dehua said with a smile, "Have you heard of Huayi, Wanda, and Guangguang Media?" These three alone are very powerful, not to mention other people, it can be said that the current China Entertainment market is the era of the Warring States Period, you hit the idea. ”
Yin Tianyou couldn't help but wonder.
"So, Brother Hua, you must help me."
"Brother Hua? Hehe, Ren Dahua is your brother Hua, but I'm not. ”
"Then Andy, you must pull me."
"It's a good thing to say, how can I pull you, you are so capable, you set up a company in just one month, and you also recruited Tsui Hark and Zhou Xingchi under your command, what kind of "Journey to the West" is filmed, when you do these things, do you have a friend like me in your heart?"
For a long time, Liu Dehua was jealous of this.
"Hehe, Andy, you're so funny."
"Laugh at me, laugh at me, don't be hippie with me." Liu Dehua looked very angry.
"I'll admit that I didn't consult you when I made those decisions, but it was an emergency; Besides, Andy, who are you, and how can you get angry over such a trivial matter? Yin Tianyou said with a grin.
Liu Dehua was speechless.
"Okay, I'll take you, don't eat soft and hard, and don't get a drip." Liu Dehua smiled bitterly, "Since you have come to the mainland and plan to develop in the TV circle, then I will draw you a red line, recently there is a media company in the mainland, bought an online novel, and is ready to adapt it into a TV series, and now you want to find a partner, I think you are quite suitable......"
"What do you mean by that?" Yin Tianyou came to the spirit.
"That media company is not short of money, but wants to make this drama into a high-quality product, and then export it, just like your Korean TV drama is lost here, to make it a work that wins glory for the country."
Of course, Yin Tianyou understands what Liu Dehua means, today's mainland market is really not bad for money, but it is bad reputation and bad honor.
is a big country, but it always imports Korean TV dramas, which makes those TV drama producers in their own country, how willing?
If one day, mainland TV dramas can go out and be recognized by other countries, then it is called rise and success.
And the company that you set up yourself is undoubtedly the best partner, because this company has Korean roots, as long as the work is not bad, it is easy to sell to Korea.
But for himself, this is not a bad thing, so Yin Tianyou asked Liu Dehua, "What is the name of this play?" “
Liu Dehua smiled and said, "Langya Bang"! (To be continued.) )
