The shock that a 192-minute movie brings to fans is huge, because movies have always been between 90 minutes and 140 minutes, which has almost become a common sense rule that everyone knows, and Lin Nan's "Journey to the West" is obviously ready to break this rule, of course, it will also break people's common sense at the same time.

In fact, the first reaction of many people in the industry after knowing the news is that Lin Nan has a sick head, because a 192-minute movie can be split into two parts, and what Lin Nan said in order to maintain the coherence of the plot is completely a joke in their opinion, because it is important to maintain the coherence of the plot, but if it is separated, it will not have much impact on the overall box office of the movie.

And the most important thing is that if the movie can be divided into two parts, the total box office of the two movies is definitely not comparable to one movie, and even if the first half of the movie is of good quality, it can also drive the box office of the second half, and the total box office may even reach more than twice as much as it is today!

Twice the current box office means that there is naturally no need to say more, that one is more than twice the profit, Lin Nan naturally understands this deeply, after all, even if he is stupid, Wei Junbo will not be stupid, but Wei Junbo did not remind or oppose Lin Nan's decision in this matter, just because Wei Junbo understands very well that for Lin Nan, money is not the most important thing!

Make a movie, release it, and make money!

This is just a result for Lin Nan, not his purpose, he just makes money to be able to make more and better movies, that's all.

It has always been the regret of the original director that "Journey to the West" was split into two incomplete parts, and it was also the regret of Lin Nan in the previous life, so in this world, Lin Nan will not let this regret happen, he wants to show a complete "Journey to the West" to the people of this world!

Speaking of the box office, in fact, it was as early as when I discussed the release situation with the theater company. The theater company once proposed to increase the ticket price of "Journey to the West", but Lin Nan refused, and the price Lin Nan paid was that his dividends would be reduced!

Time passed quietly in the anticipation of fans, finally. It's the day when "Journey to the West" will be released on February 28.

Early in the morning, the doors of major movie theaters across the country were not as bustling as Lin Nan's movies were released before, although there were still people queuing up to buy tickets, but the queue was not long.

Of course, this is not to say that "Journey to the West" is not hot enough, but because in the past year, online movie tickets have gradually emerged, which is convenient and does not have to queue, and sometimes there are many discounts, so now basically most people buy tickets directly from the Internet. Only a very small number of people are still buying tickets at the service desk, so there are naturally a lot fewer people in line, but the screening hall in the theater is full of people!

In fact, it is said that the end of February is not a peak season for movie theaters, and it is even a small off-season. It's just because a Chinese New Year file and Valentine's Day have just passed, and people have entered a period of aesthetic fatigue for movies, so at the end of February in previous years, the general theaters were generally not doing well, and there were not many people.

But at the end of February this year, it was completely different, which can be seen from the number of audiences pouring out of the cinema after the end of a movie, which is not weaker than the flow of people during the hottest days during the Chinese New Year!

Xiaobei is a sophomore and has always been a fan of Lin Nan. From "People in Embarrassment" to "Chainsaw" to "Those Years", she has not missed a movie, and she also admires Lin Nan's constantly changing style type.

Because most directors have their own inherent style, it is very difficult to change the style type, and this does not seem to be reflected in Lin Nan.

Funny, thriller. Love...... It seems that no matter what type of subject Lin Nan can control and achieve great success, and now that Lin Nan's new film "Journey to the West" has been released, Xiaobei has no reason not to watch it, as early as the filming period of the film, Xiaobei has been concerned about this movie. It can be said that she knows everything about "Journey to the West" very well, judging from the previous publicity and trailer, this movie should be a mythological movie, which also makes Xiaobei look forward to this movie more and more, because there is no doubt that this is another attempt by Lin Nan of a new genre, and she wants to see what kind of works Lin Nan can make.

So Xiao Bei booked movie tickets online early, and on the day of the movie release on February 28, Xiao Bei came to the theater according to the time on the ticket, she didn't buy a ticket for the first show, and even didn't grab the second show, but only bought a ticket for the third show.

But even so, this also makes Xiao Bei's friends envious, jealous and hateful, because the movie tickets for "Journey to the West" are too difficult to buy, basically every time a batch of tickets is released, they are snatched up in seconds, and Xiao Bei's ticket is also finally clicked out by her sitting in front of the computer and pinching the mouse non-stop.

When Xiao Bei came to the door of the movie theater, it was the end of the last movie, looking at the crowd that walked out of the movie theater, Xiao Bei couldn't help but feel the strong attraction of "Journey to the West" to fans.

Xiaobei didn't pay attention to the expressions of the group of people who had just finished watching the movie, and even covered her ears to not listen to what they were talking about each other, because she didn't want to get any information that would ruin her viewing experience later.

After the crowd dispersed, the audience who was waiting outside the cinema like Xiaobei walked into the theater one after another.

After finding her seat, Xiao Bei made it down with peace of mind, waiting for the movie to show, her seat was in the right of the center, which was not bad!

Sitting here, Xiaobei is looking forward to the movie more and more, and almost every once in a while, she has to take out her mobile phone to look at the time, and calculate how long it will take for the movie to start showing.

With the passage of time, there were more and more people in the screening hall, until Xiaobei took a cursory glance before the movie was shown, and it was actually full, which is a rare 100% attendance rate, in fact, this is not surprising, after all, it can be guessed from the difficulty of grabbing tickets.

The movie began to be screened, and the entire theater was quiet from the noise just now, which also made Xiaobei breathe a sigh of relief, when watching the movie, she was most afraid of encountering an audience with no quality and quietness, and she was obviously lucky this time.

After the start of the movie, the first is the opening animation of Nanshan Film and Television Company and the partner Hantang Media, and the official movie will start after the short opening animation.

The first is Guanyin Bodhisattva's pursuit of Sun Wukong, although Lin Nan has said in advance that the plot of "Journey to the West" has basically nothing to do with "Journey to the West", but as soon as this plot came out, fans were stunned, especially Sun Wukong's sentence pointing at Guanyin Bodhisattva "I don't kill you if you are a woman, don't think I'm afraid of you" made fans sigh at Lin Nan's big changes to the original work, and when Tang Seng's sentence "Sister Guanyin" came out, Xiaobei could clearly hear that the whole theater couldn't help laughing" poof", even Xiaobei herself laughed, this is too good to spoof, Sister Guanyin!

However, this is just the beginning, as the plot develops, when Sun Wukong threw away the moonlight treasure box and was about to have a big fight with Guanyin Bodhisattva, a scene that everyone who has seen this movie will never forget appeared!

Tang Sanzang picked up the moonlight treasure box and said while trotting back to Sun Wukong: Hey, hey, hey! Don't be angry, because if you are angry, you will be angry. Wukong, you're too naughty, I told you not to throw things, why are you ...... You see, before I'm done, you threw the stick away! The moonlight treasure box is a treasure, you throw it away will pollute the environment, what if you hit the children, even if you can't hit the children, it's not right to hit the flowers and plants.

At this time, the funny lines and Sun Wukong's sluggish expression, combined with the strong contrast brought to people by these characters in the movie, instantly made the whole theater laugh, and then Tang Sanzang's lines pushed this laughter to the peak.

"You want it? Wukong, if you want it, you can speak, if you don't say you want it, how do I know if you really want it? Although you are very sincere and forget me, you still have to tell me what you want, it is impossible for you to say that you want me not to give it to you, you say you don't want me to give it to you, everyone has to be reasonable! Do you really want it? Then you can take it, you don't really want it, do you? Do you really want to? ”

The entire theater was bent over with laughter at the moment, Xiao Bei covered her stomach that was a little sore from laughing, and said secretly in her heart: "Nanda and Xing Ye are combined, and I really didn't say it!" ”

The plot then developed, after Sun Wukong, who wanted to kill his master, was subdued by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tang Seng interceded for Sun Wukong and was willing to exchange his life for a life, and fans saw a trace of "Journey to the West" from here.

Then the camera shifts to the main producer of the film, and the music becomes faintly sad, but no one notices this, and they still think they are watching a funny movie, a funny movie by Lin Nan and Zhou Xingchi.

When the picture appeared again, there was no Tang Seng, no Guanyin, no Sun Wukong, just the endless Gobi Desert, and a woman walking between the desert with a hat and a horse - Chun Thirty Niang!

Chun Thirty Niang walked into the robber's den, and the Supreme Treasure played by Zhou Xingchi was the big boss of the robber's den. I just focused on one point to change my perspective on things that used to be" has also become a classic.
