While filming continued, Luo Xun probably gave Zhou Xingchi several suggestions that were very practical. Later, when encountering the kind of hesitation, Zhou Xingchi would obviously ask Luo Xun more about his views. When the two discussed the script together, This was probably a very high-level recognition, but Luo Xun did indeed treat Zhou Xingchi like this.

After all, he had the original version as a comparison.

So generally speaking, his opinions are more targeted. For example, when he was filming an emotional scene, he said that he felt that the process was not particularly natural and a bit abrupt, so he had to use a few small details to express it. The moment when Xuanzang and Miss Duan fall in love with each other, the audience should really feel that these two characters are in love, instead of leaving the audience confused.

How did the two fall in love?

This is a shortcoming of previous movies. Some people think that the emotional scenes are not natural enough. Although the movie deliberately leaves a period of time for Miss Duan to pursue Xuanzang, Luo Xun does not think that the problem with this aspect of the script is big, but there are some flaws in the way of acting. Wen Zhang should let the audience feel that he actually has Miss Duan in his heart. For example, there is a plot in the movie where the master asks Wen Zhang what he thinks about the relationship between men and women.

Wen Zhang said it was Xiao Ai.

He pursues great love in the world.

Luo Xun also performed this interpretation, but Luo Xun's interpretation method was different from Wen Zhang's. When he heard the master's torture, he paused briefly. This pause was necessary, because when the master asked this question, he paused. Miss Duan's figure will inevitably flash in his heart before he can answer, and this answer is not so much a response to the master as he is convincing himself!

Yes.

When he first met, he was attracted by Miss Duan, an exorcist who had a completely different style from his own. He had become a monk before he was tonsured, and he had feelings that he shouldn't have.

Not so timely feelings.

The same performance distinction should be experienced in the plot of beating pigs and gangster hyenas. Even if a certain amount of comedy is sacrificed in this plot, Xuanzang and Miss Duan still like each other and worry about each other at a critical moment.

Of course.

These are all details, but the movie is just over an hour long, and the audience can easily receive the signals conveyed by small details, so in a sense, details can really determine success or failure.

To be honest.

I have watched "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in my previous life. Except for some of the jokes that are a bit vulgar, as if they were forcibly added for the sake of inclusion, the plots of the three monsters are all remarkable.

First paragraph.

The fish demon kills people without blinking an eye at the bottom of the river, but when he transforms into a human on the river bank, his face is full of innocence and innocence. Later, the master told Xuanzang that the fish demon was actually a good person. Some people lamented Zhou Xingchi's cruelty and arranged for the fish demon to eat The little girl at the beginning of the movie is missing, and even the little girl’s mother is missing, but there is a bit of Buddhist theory of cause and effect in this plot.

The fish demon is innocent.

He hoped to integrate into the world and do good deeds to please people, so that time a child was drowned and washed away. He risked his own life to save the child and sent it back to the village. Unexpectedly, the villagers became suspicious when they saw the stranger. So he was regarded as a child trafficker.

He does not understand the language of the world.

I don’t understand worldly expressions either.

Just stared at them blankly.

The villagers even more believed that he was a villain, so they brought down the sticks, the sound of his skull cracking, and the blood slowly flowing down. He remained silent and expressionless until every bone in his body was broken and thrown into the water. Here, he never defended himself.

Later the child was eaten.

The child's mother also died.

Just like when the child was rescued but the fish demon died, this is a metaphor for the first plot of the movie, a very cruel cause and effect. This is why Zhou Xingchi arranged to play the role of the fish demon with an innocent face.

Second paragraph.

Not to mention the cuckold love story that happened to Zhu Ganghye, in terms of the scene arrangement of the movie, it can be called a cult classic, with monsters, monsters, bloody ghosts, atmosphere, pictures and even the meaning of the combination of roasted people and roasted pigs, it is full of dark fairy tales The smell, and the Peking Opera appearance when Zhu Ganghye transformed into a handsome man with oily hair and powdered face was even more mind-numbing!

This is the "uncanny valley" effect.

When Zhu Ganghye's face is shiny and he is wearing a costume, his movements actually don't look like a human being, but more like a soulless puppet. Human beings have a better impression of things that are more similar to themselves, such as monkeys and orangutans, but when a When the appearance of things is highly similar to people, it will give people a huge sense of terror, such as corpses and wax figures, or dolls and zombies, etc.

This phenomenon is called the "uncanny valley."

The same seems to be true for Zhu Ganghye. He contains a sense of irrational terror. In addition, it is probably the Buddhist saying that all living beings are equal. Putting aside other things, humans can eat pork with peace of mind. Why can't pig monsters eat human flesh? Can?

The same goes for the first story.

Humans make a living by fishing. Isn't it the same reason why fish monsters eat people as humans eat fish? This should also be a kind of equality of all living beings, a kind of equality of all living beings that is cruel in truth. Just like karma, it is bloody. Angry.

As for the third story…

The story of Sun Wukong is actually very exciting starting from the cave. The dialogue between him and Xuanzang is full of modernism. This is also the method used by Zhou Xingchi's Journey to the West series. Therefore, Xuanzang will call the monkey Mr. Sun, and the monkey will also call him Mr. Sun. Xuanzang is Mr. Chen, and in order to enhance the monkey's sense of cunning, Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi also discussed enriching the lines for the first meeting between the two characters.

this paragraph.

Sun Wukong's opening remarks were much longer: "Actually, I haven't regretted it for a moment in the past five hundred years. I was reflecting on why I embarked on such a road of no return? Why did I change from a pure little monkey to what I am today? What about this situation? In the final analysis, it is because I have not studied well and I have no education. Therefore, for the past five hundred years, I have been seriously thinking about my faults and studying Buddhism. You see, I have carved all my learning experience on the cave wall. I know the Tathagata Great Sun Heart Sutra by heart, and I know it by heart. If you don’t believe me, you can take a test on me. Just take a test on me. Ever since I learned the thoughts of the Buddha, I have discovered that there have been wonderful changes in my body. I will never be angry again. I found that Human desires are extremely boring and insignificant compared to the great principles of Buddhism. I understand the great love of Buddha and give up the small love of humans. I have completely transformed myself, from head to toe, from soul to thought, every hair. They have all been transformed. Do you think my hair is now emitting warm Buddha light? This is the effect of the great Buddhist teachings. I haven’t spoken to anyone in five hundred years, and I haven’t seen the sun in five hundred years. I have written a 2 million-word ideological summary report. After five hundred years of transformation in the dark room, I have completely expelled the demonic nature from my heart. Look, I am no longer the monkey I used to be. , I have completely evolved into a human being, I have completely transformed, and now only the truth, goodness and beauty of socialism are left in my body, and only the infinite admiration and worship of Buddha..."

The lines are very long.

And fast.

It's easy for Zhou Xingchi to speak in Cantonese, but it would be too difficult for him to speak in Chinese. Fortunately, the mainland dubbing of Monkey King in this movie should be Grouper, and the other party's dubbing is almost perfect for Zhou Xingchi. It's easy to control this paragraph, and speaking speed shouldn't be a big problem, but Zhou Xingchi has always been curious about how Luo Xun could make up such a long line, but Luo Xun smiled.

He didn't write this line.

He is Jin Hazai who learned from his previous life.
