Chapter Seventy-Four: The United States (1) (Part 1)
Too many people took the initiative to ask him for an invitation, so he sent another round. On the day of the engagement, there were no less than a thousand people! There are those who sincerely congratulate, those who come here to prepare to mingle with celebrities, and those who are secretly sad and famous...... And so on.
And the only thing in common is that these people are ready to heckle. After three rounds of drinking, Yu Shengcai and Qing Xiaoyi took the stage to thank him. So everyone was in a lot of commotion, and they had to drink a glass of wine with Qing Xiaoyi for the rest of their lives, and perform a show before letting them go on stage.
Naturally, you can't drink it in public with Qing Xiaoyi for the rest of your life, or the Time and Space Administration will definitely send the river crab to the door across time and space. And the performance program is not a difficult task.
Yu Sheng raised his hand to suppress the noise of the crowd, and then spoke into the microphone, but read a modern poem.
I only feel that Jun Yi looked back, which made me think about Jun and the dynasty
In those old days
There was the same story
Is the woman who played the gong also sixteen years old?
Or tonight's me
That's the woman
It's what I've been waiting for thousands of years
That gentle and humble soul
It was when the warbler was in full bloom and weeping
That same person
Then don't laugh at me for being weak, even if I cry
How many dynasties of women sang the same song
There used to be under the magnolia trees
How many times to part
And in this warm spring night
How many beautiful voices have ever sung ancient acacia
This is a poem "Ancient Acacia Song" by Xi Murong in later generations, borrowing the rhyme of Han Yuefu and included in the poetry collection "Qili Xiang". In later generations, it also belongs to the required reading list of literary youth.
Although not all the people in the audience were very literate, half of them understood and quieted down. Besides, this poem was actually read to Qing Xiaoyi for the rest of his life. One woman's poem is very easy for another woman to understand. Especially on the topic of love.
Qing Xiaoyi listened to the rest of her life, but felt that every word was a heartfelt voice. Her heart was broken, and she opened her arms to embrace the rest of her life, tears sliding down, and she no longer paid attention to the noise of the outside world.
After reading the poem, Ye Wuguang looked at his sister who was out of shape on the stage, and shouted in a hurry: "Okay!" ”
There was a cheer from the audience, and the applause roared like thunder.
However, an engagement is nothing more than an engagement, and nothing of the happy harmony happens after the engagement. Qing Xiaoyi's education was extremely traditional and conservative. Pay attention to affection and etiquette, and naturally will not do things that are considered out of line by traditional morality before marriage.
It's just that the two are happy, and it's not just about being harmonized. In getting along with each other on weekdays, Qing Xiaoyi no longer has polite alienation and estrangement with the rest of her life, and her demeanor has become natural and cordial. Occasionally, he will be coquettish and angry, waiting for the rest of his life to coax. but to others, but still gentle and polite.
Sudden changes in his family, Qing Xiaoyi and Ye Wuguang were displaced and became refugees. Qing Xiaoyi pretended to be a mature attitude, gentle and polite, and strategic. And the heart is cold after all. It was only at this time that the delicate nature of the girl was unrepressed.
Then, for the rest of my life, I learned that no matter how advanced human science and technology are and what era they evolve to, the nature of women is the same.
************
By the time he got engaged to Qing Xiaoyi for the rest of his life, Albert Warner had returned to Hollywood. As soon as he returned to Hollywood, Albert couldn't wait to gather his brothers. screened "Havoc in Heaven" again.
Warner Bros. started from scratch and had a natural vision. "Havoc in Heaven" has strong drama and continuous action conflicts in detail. And Sun Wukong's personal heroism is also very much in line with the cultural core of Americans. Coupled with the aftermath of "The Great Wall Never Falls" and the gimmick of oriental mythology, the box office hit can already be imagined.
Therefore, Warner Bros. arranged the best publicity and the best theatrical release time for "Havoc in Heaven" this time. And this time "Havoc in Heaven" is different from the bleak scene when "The Great Wall Never Falls" was first released. On the first day of release, the attendance rate reached 80%.
Although most viewers are interested in "Havoc in Heaven" because they watched "The Great Wall Will Never Fall". However, this feature-length animation did not disappoint the audience in the slightest.
At the beginning of the cartoon, a boulder explodes in the waves of the East China Sea, and a golden light heralds the birth of an earth-shattering life. Since the birth of the Monkey King, the splendid magic of oriental mythology has been thrilling.
Then, the Monkey King entered the human world to seek immortality. Through hardships and obstacles. This era was when the gold rush and westward expansion of the Americans were basically over, and the hardships of it still existed in the memories of the older generation. And a large number of young people have the American dream of getting rich overnight, and they have begun an endless search. They have traveled almost every possible place where an oil field can be produced, and once they hit, their fate will change.
In the eyes of Americans at this time, Sun Wukong's pursuit of immortality is so similar to his own pursuit of wealth. And the song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" has been refined by vicissitudes, and I can't help but resonate!
And when Sun Wukong returned from his studies, whether it was the East China Sea Dragon Palace, the Yama Treasure Palace, or even the Lingxiao Treasure Hall where the Thirty-Three Heavenly Jade Emperors were located, they could not let him be afraid. In the eyes of the Americans, this is already a success.
And when you think about it, these points that poke at Americans are actually no different from the selling points of later generations of online novels and American blockbusters. After all, everyone expects a day when they are not tied down and laugh proudly. This complex has been brewed into a classic over a long period of time.
Therefore, after the release of "Havoc in Heaven", not only American children like to watch it, but even adults like to watch it! Some die-hard fans couldn't enjoy watching it once, so they went to the cinema and brushed the box office over and over again! And the song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" is also sung in the United States. and was adapted into English.
The singing rate in the streets and bars is even comparable to "RedRiverValley"! In this era, the aftermath of the economic crisis in the United States has not yet passed, and sleeping on the streets is not uncommon. Therefore, many people who are lying on the street and sing songs on the guitar have actually become the English version of "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is".
And the singing of these people has become the best publicity for "Havoc in Heaven". The power of gossip is great, but in just ten days, the name of "Havoc in Heaven" has become a household name in the United States. Therefore, the box office of "Havoc in Heaven" has snowballed!
In just one month, it has already surpassed the box office of "The Great Wall Never Falls" in the United States and Europe combined! After all, although "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" is wonderful, the audience is always limited. Unlike cartoons, which can be easily understood across borders and civilizations.
