China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Teammates offer sacrifices to the heavens, and their magic power is boundless!

In many film works, it is a common trick used by screenwriters to use the death of important people around the protagonist to promote the transformation and explosion of the protagonist.

But when it comes to the protagonist dying at the beginning, there are really not many.

In "The King of Kung Fu", a collaboration between Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, there is a scene at the beginning where Sun Wukong is plotted by the Jade God of War and is turned to stone.

The problem is that judging from the storyline of the entire film, the Monkey King in the film is definitely not the protagonist.

But what everyone is watching is different now, because the name of the movie is "Black Myth: Wukong". You can't let someone else be the protagonist, right?

What makes the audience even more puzzled is why the tightening curse that disappeared after becoming a Buddha suddenly appeared?

The only reasonable explanation is that it never disappeared, it just became hidden.

Some film critics thought about this issue carefully and felt that this conjecture was more reasonable.

Because there are only a few people who can recite the Tightening Curse. If they don't recite it all the time, Sun Wukong will not feel a headache.

As for wearing it on your head, it’s impossible not to feel it, so that’s not a problem.

Because when Sun Wukong asked Buddha to remove the Tightening Curse at Lingshan, Buddha also asked him to touch it himself, only to find that the Tightening Curse was missing.

So, the truth is that Buddha just concealed the curse, not removed it. If Sun Wukong honestly accepted his victory over the Buddha in the West and acted according to the Tathagata's decree, he would naturally no longer feel imprisoned.

But if you don't obey, you can use this thing to kill Sun Wukong at the most critical moment.

This weakness can last a lifetime!

The film critic was extremely excited when he thought of this, and felt that he could write a good film review from this point alone.

It can even be expanded to explain, like a leader employing people, grasping the weaknesses of his subordinates. On the surface, it is said that the matter is over and should not be mentioned again.

But in fact, they are all reserved. This is the norm in the world!

On the big screen, an old monkey from Huaguo Mountain was telling the story of the Great Sage to a group of little monkeys in front of a stone.

He said that the body of the great sage was hidden in the boulder next to him. After his death, his six roots were scattered between heaven and earth, turned into six spiritual objects, and each of them escaped.

If someone can find the six roots of the Great Sage, collect them and bring them back here, he may be able to resurrect the Great Sage.

Immediately, a monkey wearing gray cloth and looking somewhat similar to the Great Sage appeared out of the crowd, with a golden hoop in his hand.

The old monkey said to him, "If you can find the Great Sage's Golden Cudgel, you must be a person with a destiny. If you definitely go out and search for it, you may be able to collect all six of them!"

The monkey immediately expressed his willingness to go out to look for the six roots of the Great Sage, and immediately said goodbye to the old monkey.

But it was said that the monkey left the Huaguo Mountain and soon arrived at the Black Wind Mountain. Then he fought against Guangzhi and Elder Jinchi, and finally retrieved one of the six "joy of sight".

Regarding this plot, Jiang Heng described it with emphasis.

After all, the plot of all the chapters in the original game is too long to be shown in one movie. Time does not allow it!

After editing, it was finally decided that the plot would only include Black Wind Mountain, Huang Fengling, Xiao Xitian, and fight Yang Jian again to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Keep Black Wind Mountain, because this section is indeed very meaningful.

The black bear spirit and the elder Jinchi have known each other and become friends a hundred years ago. The black bear spirit does have some abilities. If he teaches Jinchi some longevity techniques, he can live a long life.

After Elder Jinchi became the abbot of Guanyin Temple, he became more and more greedy. When he saw a good cassock, he couldn't walk on the road. He was facing "delight at sight".

Because of this, Elder Jinchi died of his greed, died in the sea of ​​fire, and turned into a ghost of injustice.

In this movie, the black bear spirit obtained one of the six roots of the Great Sage, returned to Black Wind Mountain, and rebuilt the Guanyin Temple.

Not only that, but he also used the root weapon to resurrect his old friends Ling Xuzi and Elder Jinchi, and also made a new scholar in white. Unexpectedly, after Jinchi was resurrected, he was trapped in obsession and became a ghost, running around in the mountains.

But when he faced the Little Sage and was about to be completely defeated, he suddenly came to his senses and said sadly that I don't want that cassock anymore, I don't want it anymore, which made the young man feel sad.

Some film critics secretly lamented, "The Great Sage wanted to take away the Dinghai Divine Needle when he saw it. What's the difference between it and Jin Chi and Black Bear?

This first organ, "pleasure at sight", is essentially greed, the desire for wealth and power, insatiable greed, and endless pursuit!

The great sage pulled out the Dinghai needle, and the golden pond and the black bear pursued the Tang monk's cassock, which were all expressions of joy at the sight.

When Elder Jinchi could say, "I don't want that cassock anymore," he was finally freed from greed, but everything was over! "

In this movie, the root weapon of "joy at sight" is in Elder Jinchi's body, and there is no need to fight the black bear spirit.

The reason is naturally because the black bear spirit in the original work is too strong and has abilities that are not weaker than the Great Sage.

It is reasonable for Destiny to win, but the adaptation requires some thinking.

Of course, the black bear spirit finally appeared and said a few meaningful words to the "man of destiny".

The general meaning is that he collects the Great Sage's root artifacts not because he is greedy for spiritual objects, but because he is looking forward to seeing the return of the Great Sage one day.

The plot seems a bit abrupt, but if you think about it carefully, it's still easy to understand.

Because the black bear spirit is not serving as the guardian of the mountain behind Guanyin Bodhisattva at the moment, but has returned to his own dojo, Black Wind Mountain. This experience is somewhat similar to that of Sun Wukong.

Moreover, one of them has a tightening curse, and the other has a restraining curse, and they are both controlled by Buddhist magic weapons.

Now one of them is dead, and the other has returned to his original dojo and lives a peaceful life.

So it makes sense that he collected one of the "six roots" of the Great Sage and said that he wanted to see the Great Sage return one day.

It's nothing more than sympathy for each other.

The endings are different, but the choices made at the beginning are different.

When facing the siege of the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong would rather die than surrender.

As for the Black Bear Demon, I'm afraid he just took a year off. When the leader summons him one day, "Little Black" will go back to stand guard and be a security guard!

After the plot of Black Wind Mountain, it is Yellow Wind Ridge.

And this plot reflects the flavor of "Black Mythology" more and more.

When the headless Lingji Bodhisattva appeared to help the "Heavenly Man" heal his wounds, the audience still thought he was good.

But after reading the deleted and adapted story, the audience increasingly figured out that something was wrong.

The people of Shahari were fine, how come they all turned into rats? Who did it? The more I think about it, the more I think it must be Lingji Bodhisattva!

If it wasn't Lingji, it must have been the Buddha.

In the original version of "Journey to the West", Manjusri Bodhisattva followed the decree of Tathagata and went to Wuji Country to find someone to inherit the position of Golden Body Arhat. As a result, he failed to convert the king of Wuji and was tied up and soaked in the river for three days and three nights.

It was only when Liu Ding and Liu Jia passed by and found him that Manjusri Bodhisattva was able to escape.

Afterwards, the king of Wuji was pushed into the well and drowned for three years.

So although the reason why the people of Shahari turned into rats was not clearly stated in the film, the audience can also guess it.

When it came to the plot of "Little Western Paradise", the Yellow Eyebrow Old Buddha appeared, which made the audience more certain of their guesses.

Some even felt that this black myth was indeed black!

Because the Yellow Eyebrow here is even more evil!

According to Maitreya Buddha, he, as a child, participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Great Sage, obtained more than one root, and abducted his treasures.

Later, Huang Mei returned to Xiao Xitian, returned to Xiao Leiyin Temple, held a Dharma Assembly, and invited Kang Jinlong, the two generals of the turtle and snake, Prince Xiao Zhang, and the four demons to come. With the power of the Great Sage's root and the human bag, he defeated the turtle and snake, captured and bewitched Kang Jinlong, the four demons, and Prince Xiao Zhang.

Later, he rebuilt the temple, preached his bliss religion, and committed evil deeds. In order to save wages, he even turned the workers into demons and left them in the temple.

The nearby demons also came to him and were bewitched by him.

The old actor Wang Huichun played Huang Mei in the film. With a shaved head and big eyes, he was really domineering.

And the actor who played Kang Jinlong was Tang Yan, who had not had a big movie resource for a long time.

By the way, since "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", Tang Yan has starred in many movies, but they are basically small and medium-cost films. When she played in Jiang Heng's blockbusters, she basically got supporting roles.

When preparing for the film, Jiang Heng initially wanted to choose an actor according to the appearance of Kang Jinlong in the game. After choosing and choosing, he found that Guo Caijie looked more like him.

The problem is that this person is not an artist of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent, and has been signed to a company for several years since her debut.

If she is chosen to play Kang Jinlong, it would be a waste of resources!

Because there are very few roles for female characters in this movie, even the emotional scenes between Zhu Bajie and Zhu'er were deleted.

Kang Jinlong, who came down to the world to find her roots because of her admiration for the Monkey King, is considered the heroine of this film, which is quite important.

Moreover, the audience in this world does not know what the original Kang Jinlong looks like, so there will be no sense of disobedience.

Therefore, Jiang Heng considered again and again and gave the role of "Kang Jinlong" to Tang Yan, who has not played the heroine of a blockbuster for a long time.

The effect is naturally good!

The young lady may be born with a love brain, so when she plays the role of a girl who is infatuated with love, she feels a bit like a true character.

So many viewers feel that her role of Kang Jinlong is better than Yang Chan in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", and is basically comparable to Zi Xuan in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

After passing the level of Xiao Xitian, Tianmingren collected a total of four roots.

Then he met Yang Jian, and after a big battle between the two, Yang Jian was defeated.

And in his third eye, the fifth root "Opinion Desire" flew out!

Yang Jian smiled with tears: "Finally freed, it's not that I can't beat you, but your will is too strong and too torturous!"

It turned out that the "Opinion Desire" of the Great Sage existed in Yang Jian's third eye, constantly tormenting his will and body, just like a mental magic attack.

As for Yang Jian, he really couldn't understand why the Great Sage would rather die than surrender, and would take off the golden hoop even if he committed suicide!

"Once you wear the golden hoop, it will grow on your body until you die! Congratulations, brother, you will never be bound again!"

The man of destiny was shocked, "I have only collected five roots, and I don't know where the other one is!"

Yang Jian laughed, "There is no man of destiny, you are the last root, the six roots are united, the Great Sage is back!"

The voice resounded through the sky, shook the heaven and earth, and spread throughout the three realms and six paths.

"The six roots are united, the Great Sage is back!"

"The six roots are united, the Great Sage is back!"

The echo lingered for a moment, and the man of destiny laughed, "So that's it, I'm not the man of destiny, I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, now I'm not bound anymore!"

As he spoke, the golden chain mail, the phoenix-wing purple gold crown, and the lotus silk cloud shoes appeared on his body. The man of destiny, who was originally dressed in cloth, became the majestic Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

He waved the golden hoop and rushed towards the heavenly soldiers and generals and the four heavenly kings in the distance.

Yang Jian sat on the ground, watching with a smile.

At this time, Nezha suddenly appeared, "Second brother, are you just sitting here and watching?"

"The Jade Emperor is my uncle after all, I can't help the monkey beat him! What about you?"

"I'm waiting for the Great Sage to knock down King Li Tian's tower!"

Yang Jian smiled, "Have you been waiting for this moment for a long time?"

"Aren't you the same?"

In the distance, Sun Wukong broke through the Nantian Gate and many buildings encountered on the road one after another, and only rushed to the Lingxiao Palace.

Although some stars and generals intercepted them along the way, their strength was far less than when the Great Sage made trouble in the Heavenly Palace before.

The Lei Department could no longer gather thirty-six Lei generals, only more than twenty were present, and only a dozen people were present at Twenty-eight Su.

At this moment, Sun Wukong is no longer bound by the curse. Secondly, it seems that because of his return from reconstruction, his strength has far exceeded that of the past. With his own strength, he can defeat all the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Look, Bajie, who was watching the battle from a distance, clucked his tongue and said: "Brother Monkey is also a ruthless person. He has used all the methods of rebuilding. He really made the right bet. If he had this strength back then, how could he still have five hundred?" The pain of being oppressed for years!”

Seeing that Jiuyao Xingguan was supporting him with a group of heavenly soldiers and generals, Zhu Bajie raised his rake and shouted: "Brother, don't panic, I'm here, old pig!"

On the ground, Nezha suddenly said excitedly: "Ah, the tower has fallen!"

After that, he set up the Hot Wheels and charged up with the fire-tipped spear.

Yang Jian also stood up, stretched, and said to himself: "Uncle, uncle, it's not that my nephew eats the inside and outside, but this is really inhumane and oppresses all living beings. It's time to change!"

"Brother Wukong, don't panic, I, Yang Jian, am here!" After saying that, he jumped on the clouds and headed straight to the heaven.

In the collapsed Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor cried sadly, "I knew that the three of them are traitors, and even my nephew can't be trusted!"

In the main venue, the audience laughed after hearing this.

Some said: "The description of the three rebels is very appropriate!"

"Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong are the three rebels in heaven. Haha, this plot is well adapted!"

A girl who didn't know much about the background of the story asked her friend, "Isn't the Third Prince Nezha a general in heaven? What's he doing so well?"

The boyfriend on the side became energetic after hearing this, and told his girlfriend in detail that in the TV series, when the King of Tota was excited, he remembered the expression on his face when he forgot to pick up the tota.

"I'm telling you, Galen is a man in the tower, and Li Tianwang is a man in the tower. If the tower is gone, he won't be able to live either!"

"Ah, can Nezha really kill him? Can't he?"

Of course not, although from the perspective of the plot, if Jiang Heng and Li Tianwang didn't have a tower, Nezha would be able to kill him.

But the plot can't be played like this, just a few hits. You can't really let Nezha kill King Li, and you won't be able to pass the review!

Therefore, at the end of this movie, Sun Wukong completely smashed the Lingxiao Palace, which symbolizes heaven, to pieces.

Rather than just smashing a plaque like in previous film and television dramas. (End of chapter)
