China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 368: Cheers to Sun Dasheng today

"What the Monkey King is, he's just a useless monkey!"

Although it is not an IMAX theater, the powerful sense of oppression can still pass through the big screen and rush toward the audience.

Even Jiang Yong felt a suffocating heaviness.

The background of the picture is smeared with a layer of gloom, and the mysterious energy is overwhelming. The black smoke penetrating the sky is like a python, showing its teeth and claws. The jade-faced scholar in black and white Taoist robes has a make-up on his face similar to the black head and painted face in opera.

It sounds like crying but not crying, like laughing but not smiling. The voice is neither male nor female. It is both ethereal and evil, as transparent as jade, and hissing like a poisonous snake spitting a message.

"Good guy, if there were children in the theater, they would be scared to tears and leave a psychological shadow..." Jiang Yong also said when he was praising the character design and obviously processed dubbing in the movie.

I put some effort into thinking about the suitability of this movie for children.

There were no adults or children at this screening, so there was no crying as he expected.

The atmosphere in the theater was only silence and calm. The audience was not indifferent, but they were all shocked by the impact created by this 3D animated film.

The Great Holy War of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals at the beginning of the film was so majestic, bright, and colorful, but now it is so gloomy, dull, and depressing.

Under the old monk's exclamation, Jiang Liu'er picked up the bamboo cane that the old monk had thrown on the ground. Holding the bamboo pole, he shouted loudly, imitating the monkey's resistance and charge again and again, and imitating the Qi Qi on the shadow puppet stage.

The majesty of the great sage.

He caught the sight of the pig demon who had just climbed out of the rocks.

With a wave of his sleeve, the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed!

Sun Houhou is not the obstacle to him establishing the demon kingdom, the Monkey King is.

Jiang Liu'er's small body was flicked away by the finger of the maniacally laughing Chaos Demon King, passing through everyone's realizations, crossing the torrential rain, and falling into the cliff in the distance.

This unique painting style that combines shadow puppetry, opera, traditional Chinese painting and Western oil painting with extremely rich colors was something he had never seen in previous three-dimensional animations.

But who made DreamWorks' last animated film "Your Name"?

This fight scene is the pinnacle of film acting in terms of intensity, and it is also the most tragic and depressing.

But it is not abrupt. The previous scene in the strange town is like a converter, a transitional chapter between two backgrounds, allowing the audience to follow the plot and slide into the darkness naturally. By the time they notice it, they have been deeply involved.

I fell into the mood of the movie and felt worried about the fate of Jiang Liuer and the Great Sage.

The monkey's tireless charge is like Don Quixote rushing towards the windmill. He is defending his promise to Jiang Liu'er - to rescue five hundred boys and girls.

The Chaos Demon King slowly lost his original joy, and his face became as dark as water. He realized that even though he had been suppressed for hundreds of years, the Monkey King was still not dead.

Jiang Yong ushered in the final battle of the entire movie in a state of shock!

The Great Sage defeated the Chaos Demon King.

He is no longer the round, wild, untamable, and fearless stone. Especially, he has lost the power of heaven and earth.

The Demon King roared angrily, blowing away the heavy rain and the dark clouds.

The monkey fell heavily to the ground, and his head was trampled under the Demon King's feet. It seemed that he could no longer muster the strength to stand up again, or maybe he was tired and didn't want to struggle in vain anymore.

In the rain of magma, boulder fragments like red-hot lava rain stuck to the monkey's body piece by piece.

"If DreamWorks could produce "Lion and Camel Kingdom" released during the Spring Festival last year in the style of "The Return of the Great Sage", that would be amazing!" Jiang Yong had such an idea in his mind for no reason.

"The Monkey King, Sun Wukong!"

Then comes the third bigger fight scene in the movie - the first scene is between the Great Sage and the Mountain God, and the second scene is between the Great Sage and the demon king who had not recovered his memory at that time and was enslaved by the Demon King and sent to hunt down Jiang Liuer and his party.

A fight between pig monsters.

A sudden, high-pitched sound of electronic guitar strumming exploded in the theater like a thunderbolt!

It was calm, but the calm contained the will and determination like the sea.

The childish voice was accompanied by a small figure, rushing towards the Chaos Demon King through the heavy rain, as if it had experienced an earthquake.

He can surpass the prestige of the Monkey King, but he cannot take away the power of the Monkey King, a power that can be praised among thousands of demons for hundreds of years, a power that can be remembered by billions of yuan and passed down from generation to generation.

The Great Sage, whose magic power was sealed by the Tathagata Seal, and Marshal Tianpeng, who had transformed into a pig demon, struggled to survive the attack of the Chaos Demon King.

In addition to perfect foreshadowing, perfect soundtrack and perfect characters.

However, although he did not see the surprise he had hoped for, after Jiang Yong adjusted his expectations for the movie, he still had to praise that this movie almost achieved the ultimate in every aspect.

Jiang Yong, whose eyes were sore, tried hard to suppress the urge to burst into tears.

Following the childish shouting, the drum beat suddenly started beating!

Amidst the high-pitched roar of the electric guitar and the beat of the drums, the Monkey King completed his transformation!

And this style of painting is so suitable for the theme of Journey to the West. The expressive power, impact and oppression of this world full of monsters and monsters cannot be expressed in any live-action film and television drama.

"It's all music sensationalism. Damn it, what kind of music is this? It seems to be a cello? It matches well..."

The little novice monk was held in the arms of the monkey, and the eyes of the great sage did not have the fierceness of the battle with the heavenly soldiers and generals at the beginning of the film, nor the ferocity of the previous fights with the mountain gods and the pig monsters.

You can exaggerate and distort the background and characters in a certain abstract way to achieve the expression of a wild, weird and gloomy world view.

But the Chaos Demon King didn't seem to be willing to end the battle quickly. He seemed to intend to humiliate the Great Sage, and he seemed to like the feeling of trampling the Great Sage under his feet.

"Monster! Take a stick from me!"

The pouring rain hit the puppet, and the water droplets streaked along the head of the puppet's wide eyes sewn with rough stitching, as if they were crying.

The huge meteorite seemed to be heated before it got close to the Monkey King. Its entire body turned from dark black to red, and then its surface turned into magma and exploded.

He was amazed by the painting style and technology displayed at the beginning of the film, but later on he was slightly disappointed by the lackluster plot and even the plot with deep traces of clichés.

After all, hundreds of years still left traces in the monkey's heart.

What surprised and impressed him the most was that after more than half of the plot of "The Return of the Great Sage", it was obvious that this was an animated film suitable for all ages, but DreamWorks actually had the courage to take the risk of dissuading children.

Sets up the dark plot of the second half.

Huge rocks rose from the cracked ground and hit the great sage standing in the sky.

Amidst the high-pitched roar of the electronic guitar, the purple gold crown with phoenix wings, the golden basalt-like chainmail armor, and the red cloak reappear in the world after hundreds of years!

The monkey tilted his head slightly, put his finger to his ear, and slowly pulled out the brilliant Ruyi golden hoop.

The monkey's half-open eyes looked at the Monkey King's puppet that fell to the ground not far away. The puppet seemed to be looking at him as well.

"Hahahaha... After I swallow the elixir refined by these five hundred boys and girls, I will go to Huaguo Mountain to send your monkeys and monkeys to reunite with you in the underworld - hahahaha!"

Originally, he always deducted one point from all those movies and TV series that took advantage of the popularity of IP, especially those related to Journey to the West IP.

"Great Sage——"

Until the lights come on and the Great Sage comes to an end!

Sparse applause, exclamations and cheers brought him back from his thoughts.

Excellent technique, dreamy painting style, and smooth narrative are not enough. He also wants to see a story that he can't guess, is unexpected, and surprises people.

Even if the Chaos Demon King returns to his original form and transforms into an ancient alien species, a behemoth of heaven and earth!

The roaring speakers and fierce fighting still couldn't awaken Jiang Yong's mind. The scene of the return of the Great Sage accompanied by the exciting electronic music has been deeply imprinted in the depths of his mind.

Jiang Liu'er was distracted at first, then sad and angry, resentful that this monster had defeated the Monkey King in his mind.

This made him angry and anxious, but the fire in his heart burned even hotter.

Under Jiang Yong's numb gaze, the Demon King looked back in shock, only to see that the monkey had already stood up with a stoop, and the chains on his arms were broken inch by inch.

He was caught in the eyes of the Demon King who turned around, startled and then laughed.

The demon king's laughter turned from wild laughter to astonishment, and the shock turned to deepness, and the depth turned to coldness.

Absolutely amazing!

This three-dimensional animation, filled with shadow puppetry and traditional oriental aesthetics, matches so well with the electric guitar.

Whether it's the combined adventure of Jiang Liu'er, the Great Sage and the pig demon, or the thrilling difficulty of passing five levels and defeating six generals, there are also gags, humor and sensational moments interspersed throughout.

It’s the Monkey King!

Unbelievably, he rediscovered the Monkey King he dreamed of in an animated movie, and the Monkey King who made his whole body tingle with excitement was back!

It was also like he was defending the pride he once had, the unruly Monkey King who fought in heaven and on earth.

Of course, this is also because this animated movie is produced by DreamWorks.

This is undoubtedly the darkest moment of the entire movie.

As an ancient alien species, and having devoured most of Marshal Tianpeng's mana, the Demon King's power was not something that two heroes with residual blood could resist.

The Great Sage is back!

If it were any other company, no matter which domestic company could produce a smooth animated film with this kind of online aesthetic, excellent technology, and no mistakes in formula application, he would praise it with both hands and feet.

As long as the Great Sage Qitian is around, it is impossible for all the demons in the world to surrender to him, and it is impossible for Dongsheng Shenzhou to fall into chaos forever and become the food of his demon kingdom.

The picture switches back and forth between a ferocious monkey and a huge stone.

Because it's too tricky.

But this transformation simply gave him goosebumps all over his body.

The Great Sage Qitian was defeated five hundred years ago, so why bother to resist pointlessly? What does the evil atmosphere have to do with him again and the chaos in the world have to do with him?

Although it is unfair to say this, there are many Hollywood films that have achieved passing or even excellent results by applying this formula, but not many in China can apply this "formula" well.

"Today I cheer for Sun Dasheng, because the demonic mist has returned again!"

Even as an adult, he feels depressed by the character image and the atmosphere of the appearance of this big boss, let alone a child?

The words in the novel about the overwhelming evil spirit and the horror of the Three Realms made him feel it in this animated movie.

Also because he is Sun Wukong.

The Great Sage is back!

Then the monkey raised a golden light, rushed into the sky, and descended into the abyss!

The golden light became louder and louder, and the faster and faster drumbeats slowly rose from the bottom of the cliff.

The great sage threw the little novice monk to the pig demon who was surprised and delighted.

In the silence of heaven and earth, only the young novice monk Jiang Liu'er saw the great hero in his heart suddenly fell to the ground, was trampled under his feet, and never moved again.

The Chaos Demon King seems to regard this fight as the handover between the new king and the old king, and humiliates the Monkey King. Looking at his futile anger and embarrassed figure is the ceremonial sense of the new king's accession to the throne.

Jiang Yong, who was trying hard to distract himself from the sight and sound and think, heard a sigh coming from the side: "The Great Sage Qitian is dead..."

"The body is like black iron, the eyes are blazing! Immortal, and there are seventy-two transformations——"

Even after hundreds of years, the majestic reputation of the Monkey King is still spread among humans and monsters, and his reputation is getting louder and louder.

Seeing this, Jiang Yong once again raised his evaluation of the movie in his heart.

Jiang Yong felt an arc of electricity arouse from the Tianling Gai, piercing his spinal cord and limbs, and there were several screams and even whistles in the theater!

Such excessive expectations seem very reasonable once placed on DreamWorks.

The pig demon has lost the ability and will to resist. Only Sun Wukong is still unyieldingly launching a futile attack on the demon king. Then he is easily repelled by the chaos demon king, collapsing the mountain and smashing into the ground.

He also reflected in the monkey's eyes that he opened his eyes that were about to close again following the sound, and turned his head to look at Jiang Liu'er together with the demon king who retracted his paws from his head.

"A somersault cloud is thousands of miles away!"

He wants to kill Monkey King before killing Monkey King!

The rich and sad melody of the cello lingered in the cinema, making the audience already immersed in darkness seem to be able to follow the music and enter the monkey's inner world.

Jiang Yong could no longer control the tears on the edge of his eyes, and quickly and covertly stretched out his hand to wipe his cheek. As he put his hand down, he looked at the stormy scene on the big screen, and a strange sentence appeared in his mind.

and return!

I have seen many transformations of Jiang Yong in film, television dramas and animations.

It is indeed the return of the Great Sage!

"This is the pinnacle of domestic animation!"

The elder brother who was applauding next to him was excitedly talking to himself, and seemed to be confirming with the film critics around him.

Jiang Yong took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and joined in the applause excitedly.

For the electric guitar soundtrack of the Monkey King’s transformation, you can refer to the BGM of Wonder Woman’s appearance. Anyway, this is the kind of music I imagined.
