Chapter 398: It's a song with depth

Early the next morning, the relevant reports of the midnight premiere of "New Journey to the West" had already appeared on the Internet.

It was a report by Xiao Liu, a reporter from "Yanjing Entertainment Metropolis Daily":

"Last night, the new film "New Journey to the West" directed by Zhang Mushan, the director of "The Legend of the New White Snake", premiered in cinemas in major cities."

"At the entrance of a theater in Yanjing, where the author is located, a large number of moviegoers gathered at the door before 12 o'clock."

"The author interviewed them in detail, and almost all the audience had very high expectations for this film, and the following are excerpts from the audience's original words to illustrate: "

"This movie itself is a spin-off film of the well-known "Journey to the West", and it has a very high national popularity, and I have always been very interested in the theme of "Journey to the West", so I took a look."

"Director Zhang Mushan has always been a good director I like very much, his directing style is quite straightforward and bold, and he can always create a classic, yes, this time I came to see this movie for Director Zhang."

"A good director and a good story are the key to the success of a movie, there are no big stars in this movie, everyone is probably watching this novel story, and I am the same."

"We are not very interested in this new adaptation of the Journey to the West story, but we are very interested in the ending song of this movie, do you know who the author and singer of the ending song is? Uncle Kan!"

"A good movie is inseparable from a gripping soundtrack, Uncle Kan, that is, Jiang Kan, in the last popular movie "Talking and Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes", he created a classic theme song like "A Laugh in the Sea", as his fans, I am very much looking forward to his performance in this new movie."

"A good story, a good director, and good music, I'm really looking forward to the release of "New Journey to the West" tonight, it is said that the content of this movie is very funny and witty, but the ideological connotation is very profound, let's wait and see."

"These are the main sentiments of the dozens of spectators I interviewed who were waiting to enter the venue. At the same time, the author was also forced by a group of enthusiastic young audiences to compose the ending song and the past experience of the singer Jiang Kan, I have to say that this new singer and songwriter who has only been in the industry for more than half a year really gave us a lot of surprises."

Zhang Lingling held coffee in her hand, with a happy smile on her face, looking at these reports and articles on the computer screen in front of her.

"Ha, Uncle Kan, a musician, has become the guarantee of the movie box office, is this considered a fire out of the circle?"

The bitter taste of coffee in her mouth and the joy brought by the news constantly stimulated her brain, making Zhang Lingling, who came to the company early in the morning to deal with the mountains of things, feel very happy.

"We already have a report on this movie on Feiyang Entertainment's own web portal......

She held a cup in one hand and clicked on her company's website with the mouse in the other, and saw the report on "New Journey to the West" at a glance.

"The New Journey to the West is undoubtedly a rare genius masterpiece in recent years!"

"If you just laugh at "New Journey to the West", it means that you are still young. If you're crying, you understand. If you're moved and don't know whether to laugh or cry, it means you understand."

"When I realized that we would never cross paths, I realized what it was like to see that tear."

"This is a fairy tale for adults, and if it can bring joy to the children of the audience, it may bring tears to the adults."

"This movie is so wonderful that many people may not see how wonderful it is now, but when they think about it many years later, they will definitely have some feelings and tears."

"Not only is the story of this film beautiful, but its ending song 'The Love of My Life' is a blockbuster tear gas! Listen to it, you will understand what fate is still lovesick, helpless and sad. For the person you like, you can't do anything, you can't say anything, so you have to quietly cry with empty thoughts."

"To be honest, I didn't see any deep storytelling in this film, I was laughing and pulling me all the time

Good buddies laugh together. But at the end, when Sun Wukong watched the two people on the city wall holding their swords and confronting each other, he said, "You look at him like a dog", I suddenly felt a loneliness and sadness rushing from the soles of my feet to the Tianling Gai!"

"I'm not a person who is easy to be sad, but when I watched Sun Wukong finally look back at the two people who finally hugged each other on the city wall, and turned his head to follow the footsteps of the master and his disciples towards the depths of the desert, I suddenly felt a sadness from the bottom of my heart, and this sadness reached a climax at the moment when the ending song sounded!"

"How happy I was laughing during the movie, I cried so sadly when I listened to that song at the end of the film, if it weren't for my boyfriend hugging me tightly, I guess I would have to sit on the ground crying......

"Good story, good actors, good songs...... This film is a combination of all the elements of a successful blockbuster except for the big stars, and I believe that this movie will become a hit and be deeply remembered."

"Hey, is this movie so powerful? So many viewers are raving about him?"

Zhang Lingling looked at the netizen message below the official comment of the movie on the computer screen in surprise.

Although some people said that they couldn't understand the film at all, or criticized some of the ways to express their intentions were too obscure.

But unexpectedly, it was almost a pour-down sound of praise!

The audience who has watched this film has been promoting it one after another, and sparing no effort to praise and recommend it to other netizens who have not seen this film.

There was also a small group of viewers who highlighted several of the soundtracks in the film.

Especially about the praise of the ending song "The Love of My Life", it made Zhang Lingling smile and be happy!

She put down the coffee cup in her hand, and her body gradually leaned forward unconsciously, and both eyes were about to be clubbed on the screen.

"Seeing that at the end, when Sun Wukong possessed the Dongying warrior and kissed the woman, the song suddenly sounded, and then there was a shock and I felt melancholy."

"Once upon a time, now, never again. Red and red leaves, long buried in the dust. In the end, the Zixia Fairy is like a red leaf, buried in the memory of Sun Wukong."

"It takes some experience to listen to the song "The Love of My Life", you need to experience an unforgettable love, or you just listen to the melody. Once you have this experience, this song is like a sharp knife, forcing you to dissect your past and bring out the things that you have managed to hide again."

"I was struck by the lyrics of the phrase "sit alone without words and look out at the world". An inconspicuous lyric, but how much like me! I sat on the stairs of the school looking at the blue sky, stood on the windowsill of the balcony and watched the nebula, or lay on my seat in the library in a daze, I became more and more silent, less and less talkative, and the crowd became more and more noisy, but it had nothing to do with me."

"I feel that this movie has inspired me a lot. The sea of bitterness turns over love and hate, and it is difficult to escape fate in the world. Blind dates are unapproachable, or I should believe, fate." When I listened to these lyrics, I thought that life may be made up of regrets, just like my first girlfriend who left me a few years ago, I can't give her happiness, and she can't give me the love of my life."

"I'm a professional composer and I have a very deep feeling for this song. The song matches the parting bridge at the end of the movie, which doubles this helplessness and bitterness. The ethereal harmonies and the leisurely soundtrack keep the whole song in a hazy and ephemeral feeling, like the vicissitudes of the world, like a dream."

Looking at the above narratives, although almost all of them are praises for the film and the ending song created by Brother Kan, Zhang Lingling suddenly felt a heavy emotion pressing on her heart.

"No, this movie...... Is it really that deep?"

The smile on her face gradually faded, her beautiful brow gradually wrinkled, and the right hand movement that had been constantly scrolling the mouse wheel gradually slowed down.

"Looking at it like this, the audience seems to be not just discussing a movie, they are also discussing their own feelings, reflecting and summing up

My own life......

She opened her mouth wide in surprise, speechless at the sight.

"Could it be that another phenomenal movie is about to be released?"

Zhang Lingling's words soon came true.

Since that day, many audiences have entered the theater under the recommendation of friends who watched the premiere last night and bought movie tickets for "New Journey to the West".

And more audiences, because of the publicity on the website and the recommendation of some film critics, entered the theater and began to watch this very mysterious movie.

They all want to see if this film is really as good as it is praised on the Internet, it is a good movie that is both entertaining and artistic, and at the same time has a deep thought.

At the same time, they also want to hear the ending song of this song, whether it is really as magical and exaggerated as those people touted, and it has really reached the point where it can be "tear-jerking and touching".

Film critic Liu Du is also one of them.

He himself has a public account on the scarf that has been in business for about ten years.

The main content of the official account is to conduct a rational, objective and neutral analysis of those movies that are currently being screened.

Because he graduated from a comprehensive university in Yenching with a major in film screenwriting, his comments and analysis of movies will always be much more profound and rational than those who debuted halfway, so his public account called "Xiao Liu takes you to watch movies" has a lot of audiences, and has accumulated more than one million loyal fans in ten years, which can be said to be the top 100 among Xia Guo film critics.

"Is this movie really as good as they say it is?"

Early in the morning, Liu Du sat in his study after a morning jog, a shower and breakfast, intending to browse if there were any movies that had just been released in the past few days that were worth watching and commenting.

However, as soon as he opened the homepage of Feiyang Entertainment's official entertainment website, he saw such a title in a prominent position:

"The new film "New Journey to the West" is both artistic and entertaining, (subtitle: This article contains a small number of spoilers, please watch it carefully if you have not watched the movie)."

"Yo? This is a newly released movie, right, I also saw its campaign advertisement some time ago, directed by Zhang Mushan, and I kept saying that I would go and see it when it was released, but I didn't expect it to be released secretly yesterday?"

"And it seems to be very well filmed, and it can be on the homepage news of Feiyang Entertainment? No, I'll have to look into it first."

So even though the title of the article already said that this article contains a few spoilers, he curiously clicked on the title of the news and opened the page for specific reports.

"I was fortunate enough to watch this long-publicized comedy film at the premiere."

"It's a comedy, it's a comedy, and every now and then I forget that I'm reading it for the sake of writing an introductory article, and I'm laughed out loud by the various nonsensical funny plots in the plot."

"Even when it's not so funny, but it's warm and touching, I can see the smiles on the faces of the audience around me in the glimmer of light shining on the screen."

"Of course, when the plot becomes solemn, their faces will immediately appear sad and depressed, and near the end of the plot, I can even hear the suppressed whimper of a female audience member sitting behind me."

"Because it is inconvenient to spoil, my explanation and introduction will try to avoid letting readers know the plot later, and I will only pick a few points that I think are important and crucial to share with you briefly."

"The characters in this film are all based on a classic story fragment in the traditional myth "Journey to the West", and the four masters and apprentices who learn from the scriptures, and the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess."

"Their existence is not simply a repetition of this experience of passing through the Flaming Mountains as in the original book."

"Instead, I use a timeline that looks chaotic at first glance, but when it's straightened out, it's amazing."

"The characters in it are basically adopted

It is similar to the "nonsensical" dramatization and humor in Hong Kong films, and the characters have been reshaped, weakening their divinity and strengthening their humanity."

"Each of them has their own characteristics in the film, but most of them are inseparable from this kind of witty language and image building, so that a film with a profound meaning is covered with the skin of a comedy movie, and when you haven't lifted it, all you feel is joy, laughter and laughter."

"But after watching it, you will find that the theme implied in this film is so profound, so timeless, so thought-provoking......

It took Liu Du 20 minutes to read the news of more than 2,000 words carefully.

"Looks like it's a good movie with a lot of depth! Although there must be a certain element of praise in this report, if this film is really a "tragedy in the guise of comedy" as he said, it is a rare work worth watching in recent years."

As a filmmaker with a professional background, Liu Du's favorite film genre is the kind of film that contains a deep core, can be thought-provoking, and can bring people to reflect and think.

"Okay, then it's decided, let's go tonight and see if this movie is really as they touted it!"
