【.】

On the first day of the movie's release, various news about "The Return of the Monkey King" emerged on the Internet in an endless stream. The reports from various media, whether they were positive or negative, all contributed to the popularity of the movie.

The 13th was Friday. After work in the evening, Li Zhi and his girlfriend met for dinner.

The two are classmates at Beijing University of Science and Technology. They were boyfriend and girlfriend when they were in school. They have been dating for several years now.

Because Li Zhi's family is in Jinmen, and his girlfriend is a native of the capital, the two of them found jobs in the capital respectively after graduation, and have now reached the stage of discussing marriage.

After having dinner at a grilled fish restaurant in Wanda Plaza, they went to the Wanda Cinema on the top floor.

Li Zhi usually likes to watch movies, while his girlfriend prefers watching dramas, but she often goes to the cinema with him to accompany him.

Arriving at the cinema lobby, Li Zhi said to his girlfriend who was holding his arm next to him:

"Meimei? What movie do you want to watch?"

Li Zhi asked politely. He knew that his girlfriend was not very interested in watching movies. According to past situations, she would only say "It's up to you~" in a coquettish way.

However, the situation today is a little different. Sun Yumei pointed to the rolling screen above the cinema ticket office and said: "I want to see that~"

Li Zhi followed his girlfriend's finger and saw that it was the one with the most scenes on the screen [Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage].

"Why do you want to watch a cartoon?"

Li Zhi asked with a slight frown. He usually watches animated movies, but he only watches Hollywood ones, such as "Shrek" and "Kung Fu Panda". He was completely disappointed with domestic animated movies after watching them a few times.

The plot is juvenile and the picture is crude. Watching it in the cinema is simply a waste of your money.

"Gu Wei is the producer of this movie. As his fan, I must support it no matter what."

Sun Yumei looked at her boyfriend and said.

Li Zhi suddenly understood. He knew that his girlfriend loved to watch dramas and had always had her own idol. However, she was relatively easy to change her heart. Usually, she would be a fan of the male protagonist in whichever drama was the most popular recently.

Since last summer vacation, Gu Wei has become her idol.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhi said:

"Well, there's nothing else to see now anyway, so just support Meimei in your pursuit of stars!"

Li Zhi was ready to waste this hour and a half. Anyway, he didn't think domestic cartoons could produce anything exciting. He was going to go in and play with his mobile phone for a while if it was too boring.

Li Zhi went to the ticket office to buy tickets for the latest movie. What he didn't expect was that there were quite a lot of people watching the movie. On the seat selection interface, he could see that most of the seats in the screening hall had been sold, leaving only There are a few places where the location is not very good.

Li Zhi didn't care. He didn't intend to take a good look anyway. He chose the seat at the far end of the back row where the two were together.

After a while, everyone checked in and entered. Li Zhi found that the people watching "The Return of the Great Sage" with them were all young men and women, and the majority were girls.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhi whispered to his girlfriend:

"Aren't these all Gu Wei's fans?"

"It should be. I see many people in the fan base saying that they want to come to the cinema today to support the movie produced by the idol."

Entering the theater, the two found their seats and sat down. After a few minutes, the theater was already full.

Li Zhi was a little surprised by the unity of Gu Wei's fans. He himself is not a star chaser. Although his girlfriend is a star chaser, she changes idols too quickly. Apart from watching TV dramas and surfing the Internet, he has never done other things to affect his life because of his star chaser.

He couldn't quite understand the psychology of these fans.

Soon the lights in the theater dimmed, everyone stopped chatting and looked at the big screen, and the movie officially started to show.

"It is said that a long time ago, there was a monkey king named Sun Wukong. He had great magical powers and great supernatural powers. He angered the Jade Emperor because he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace."

At the beginning of the movie, the classic Supreme Treasure turns into Sun Wukong's BGM [Knife Club Overture], and then accompanied by a voice-over, various gods headed by the Tota King in a cloud surround a thin figure.

He wore gold chain mail, a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, and a blood-red cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.

"Bold monster monkey, you have violated the law of heaven, why don't you get punished immediately!"

Behind the Pagoda King were all the heavenly soldiers and generals. He was holding the golden pagoda with one hand and pointing at the figure with the other hand. Although his voice was loud, he was a bit fierce.

When the camera turned, Sun Wukong was in a desperate situation, but he was as casual as if he were at home, holding a peach in his hand and eating it, without paying any attention to the gods around him.

"This Sun Wukong's face is a bit long and a bit ugly."

Li Zhi whispered.

The movie caught his attention as soon as it opened, and any thoughts he had about looking at his phone before entering were forgotten.

Then there was a battle between Sun Wukong and various gods. Li Zhi watched with eyes fixed and his blood boiling.

Everyone else in the cinema was like him, attracting all their attention as soon as the movie started.

"When will domestic animation be able to achieve this level of picture quality?"

Sun Wukong was eventually suppressed by Tathagata Buddha under the Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years.

500 years later, the city of Chang'an was ravaged by mountain monsters.

Jiang Liuer (young Tang Seng), who lost his parents in the turmoil, was adopted and raised by an old monk. He has been obsessed with the legend of Qitian since he was a child.

At the same time, the day of the solar eclipse is approaching, and the demon king wants to steal the boys and girls in the city to sacrifice. Jiang Liuer rescues a strange little girl and escapes into the mountains, accidentally liberating the Monkey King, the Monkey King.

At this time, the magic seal is still there, and Sun Wukong is just a monkey who knows boxing and kicking.

From the opening of the movie, the audience in the theater has been immersed in the story told in the movie. Everyone will be excited to see the Monkey King causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and they will also be interested in whether the lovely Jiang Liuer can escape the monster. Worried about arrest.

Seeing that although Jiang Liu'er was living in the mountains, he could stay with his idol Sun Wukong. With his protection, he would not be in too much danger, so they all felt relieved.

It's a pity that the plot is not as everyone expected.

Although Sun Wukong escaped from trouble, the seal was still there and all his spells were lost, so he could not provide much protection to Jiang Liu'er. The Demon King kept sending monsters to chase them, and several thrilling moments made the audience worried.

In the second half of the movie, although the former idol has lost his superpowers and has become depressed, Jiang Liuer, as a little fanboy, still sticks with him and brings courage and confidence to Sun Wukong.

In the final decisive battle with the Demon King, Jiang Liuer was buried under a boulder in order to help his idol, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Suddenly, sobbing sounds could be heard from time to time in the theater. Li Zhi's girlfriend also twitched her nose and took out a tissue from her bag to wipe her tears.

Li Zhi next to him, as a big man, his eyes were a little red at the moment.

At this time, the grief-stricken Sun Wukong on the screen burst out with energy and broke through the seal. The broken stones turned into armor, and the flames turned into robes. He took out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel that accompanied him in his battle in the Heavenly Palace from his ears, and turned into the one who could not be matched by anyone in the world. Monkey King.

Although the horse's face remained the same, Li Zhi felt that this was the most handsome Sun Wukong he had ever seen.

After a fierce fight with the demon king who transformed into a big monster, the great sage finally won, completely eliminated the demon king and rescued all the children.

The last section did not have a hurried ending like the original version. Instead, it contributed to the most exciting fight section of the entire movie, which made the audience in the theater excited.

Of course, it was also because it was so satisfying to watch the Monkey King beat up the Demon King.

At the end of the film, the image of Jiang Liu'er wrapped in bandages also appeared on the screen, telling everyone that the cute and brave little monk was not dead.

The music at the end of the film sounded and the lights in the theater came on.

Everyone walked out in an orderly manner, and from time to time you could hear the voices of several people who came together talking to each other.

"This movie is great!"

“Super burning~”

"I can't believe it. This is an animated film made by China itself. The picture is superb, no worse than [Kung Fu Panda]! We are catching up with Hollywood in terms of animated films."

"."

Li Zhi, who walked out of the theater, couldn't calm down for a long time. He didn't expect that the movie "The Return of the Great Sage" could be so good.

It is completely a milestone in domestic animated films.

"Meimei, I have to thank you. If it weren't for your persistence, I almost missed such a wonderful animated movie!"

Li Zhi said warmly while holding his girlfriend's hand.

"It seems there are benefits to my pursuit of stars~"

"Yeah! Gu Wei has really good taste. I'll follow him on Weibo soon so I can check out any of his works in the future."

Sun Yumei also smiled happily when she heard her boyfriend's words.

As the number of moviegoers on the first day of release on the 13th continues to increase, there are more and more discussions on the Internet about "The Great Sage Is Coming".

[After the great sage transformed, he simply pulled his cool dick to the sky and asked for marriage! The technology and graphics are top-notch, the laughs are natural and harmonious, and it’s very beautiful! 】

【More than I expected! want! good! look! The pictures are beautiful enough and the fighting is smooth enough. The plot is not complicated, and you can laugh and cry. The great sage is 360 degrees handsome with no blind spots. No matter how painful it is, you can’t let the little kid know it. The character creation of being unyielding and attaching great importance to love and justice is great. As soon as the entrance music started playing, I immediately got excited! 】

[Whether it’s the graphics, the special effects, the plot, or the soundtrack, it’s all conscientious. It’s currently the best animated film in China. I hope everyone can regain their confidence in Chinese comics! ! 】

【It’s time for our monkeys to amaze everyone! ! ! 】

【.】

Before the first day of the movie was released, tens of thousands of people commented and rated it after Douban opened the score. After the score was opened, it got a high score of 9.0, setting a record for domestic animation movies.

The comments below are all positive, and everyone's unanimous evaluation is that it is a conscientious Chinese comic with visual special effects comparable to Hollywood!

At around 9 pm on the 13th, a dim night light was turned on in the bedroom of the villa. Liu Yifei was wearing a purple gauze pajamas and sitting leaning on the bedside. A yellow quilt with cartoon patterns covered her thighs.

She was reading the news with a tablet in her hand, planning to read it for a while before getting ready to go to bed.

Switching from the headlines to Weibo, she opened her Weibo homepage and looked at it. Suddenly she found that there were many comments under the Weibo post she had forwarded for Gu Wei.

[Thanks to Sister Tianxian for the recommendation. It’s really a good movie. I just watched it and the Great Sage was so handsome! 】

[The fairy sister has a good eye, and the animated movie is a hit! ! 】

[Thanks for the recommendation, good people have a safe life! 】

[My Fei’s taste is still as good as ever, great! 】

[Watched the movie, it was great! Feifei, you can work more with Gu Wei. I find that the quality of movies and TV series related to him is relatively good! 】

【.】

It turned out that they were all fans who went to the cinema because of her recommendation. Thanks to her recommendation, they watched a wonderful movie.

Liu Yifei's fans are mostly young men. Many of them were amazed by her "Little Dragon Girl" and "Wang Yuyan" when they were teenagers, and they have always liked her until they graduated and started working.

This time, a group of people went to see "The Return of the Great Sage" because of her recommendation. The men themselves were interested in anime and Sun Wukong, and they were immediately shocked when they saw it.

Looking back now, I naturally have no hesitation in praising the recommender and their favorite idol Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei looked through the fans' comments, raised the corners of her mouth, put down her tablet and picked up her phone.

"Congratulations. I read the comments online and it seems you made the right choice again this time!"

After receiving her WeChat message, Gu Wei responded instantly.

"I also have to thank Sister Yifei for helping to promote it. You also have a share of the success (smiley face)."

"Looking at the comments from netizens, I want to see how the filming of this animated movie went?"

"This is simple, I invite you to see it!"

Liu Yifei hesitated.

"It wouldn't be good for the two of us to go to the cinema. It would be bad if we were recognized."

"Haha, you don't need to go to the cinema. There are finished films in the screening room of my company. You can just come to my company (naughty)."

"Then I will do it tomorrow."

Just after typing a few words, Liu Yifei suddenly remembered that tomorrow was Valentine's Day, February 14th, and quickly changed it to the day after tomorrow.

The two of them decided to watch a movie together the day after tomorrow.

After chatting with Gu Wei for a while, Liu Yifei put down her phone and prepared to sleep.

Gu Wei was almost her best male friend. Every time she chatted with him, it was easy. We all got along very casually, and the relationship naturally grew closer over time.
