Millennium director

The premiere process of "The Monkey King" is the same as Wu Yuan's previous movies.

When the premiere officially started, the main creative team headed by Wu Yuan took the lead in walking to the screen, greeted the important guests in the main hall, and then briefly talked about the feelings of filming this movie and the interesting things that happened in it.

The filming of a movie is naturally a tedious and energy-consuming task. During the months-long filming process, there were also some interesting things that happened to the crew.

So this sharing of interesting things is quite interesting.

For example, Zhang Yishan talked about a scene in the movie where he and Tang Yan paid tribute to Zhizunbao and Zixia Fairy. The two watched "A Chinese Odyssey" dozens of times before filming, fearing that they would mess up this wave of tribute if they did not perform well.

As for how to pay tribute specifically, it was to the plot of "A Chinese Odyssey". Zhang Yishan left a suspense for the guests to discover when they watch the movie later.

After all, "A Chinese Odyssey" has contributed quite a lot of classic shots in the two parts, and it is not so easy to guess without prompts.

Wu Yuan also talked about the mental journey of the birth of this movie. He liked to watch "Journey to the West" since he was a child, and the Monkey King Sun Wukong was also his idol in his childhood. So after becoming a director, he always wanted to make a movie related to Sun Wukong. Then, after the animation movie "The Return of the Great Sage" became popular a few years ago, it aroused his idea again, and then the movie "The Great Sage" came into being.

Of course, this is the official statement.

In fact, the movie "The Great Sage" is a movie that will inevitably be born in the second phase of the Xianxia movie universe in the era of light and shadow.

Because in the planning of the company's screenwriter department, the second phase of the Xianxia movie universe will introduce more characters from Chinese classical legends.

This is a plan made by the company after Wu Yuan decided to introduce Lü Dongbin into the Xianxia universe, and then Wu Yuan perfected it. He felt that this kind of classical Xianxia legend character, especially those who already have classic images, is too difficult to innovate. It is better to set it as a modern person who has obtained the inheritance of these immortals, forming a new hero team to resist the crisis of the new era.

This team will coexist with the team of the first stage of the Xianxia universe, that is, the team that survived from the Tang Dynasty to the modern era through freezing and being lost, and showed great power in "Battle of the Demonic Tide".

Well, similar to the [Avengers] and [X-Men] in the Marvel Comics Universe, they are different teams in the same universe, but in some cases they may also cooperate to resist super-large crises.

The male protagonist Sun Wukong in "The Great Sage" and his girlfriend A Zi are the first members of this new superhero team, and have inherited the legacy of Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy.

The company will continue to release sequels, and the second part is tentatively scheduled to be about the story of the successor of Marshal Tianpeng or the Altar Purifier Zhu Bajie, and it is likely that Lei Datou will play the role.

The third part may be related to Yang Jian. After all, Erlang Shen is the most powerful character in the heavenly court in modern mythology and legends, and he is evenly matched with Sun Wukong, so he can be the second core of this team.

It's a bit like Iron Man and Captain America in "Avengers", and there might be a civil war in the future.

In short, the appearance of the movie "Monkey King" is inevitable, but Wu Yuan is itching to direct it himself, and there is not much sentiment to speak of.

But in front of the public, it must be sold a wave of sentiment.

After all, everyone buys into this!

It would be a waste if the sentiment of the Monkey King is not sold!

Anyway, before watching the movie, all the audience didn't know that the Monkey King was just a supporting role in the movie, including Mr. Liu Xiaolingtong, who talked about his feelings of playing the Monkey King again after nearly 20 years on stage.

"This time, at the invitation of Director Wu, I played the role of Sun Wukong again. I will use the artistic image of the Monkey King to create a new artistic image that will satisfy Director Wu and the audiences at home and abroad who like the Monkey King!"

"The Sun Wukong I played this time is very special. He is the Sun Wukong who has obtained the true scriptures and returned from the West for thousands of years. He is the modern Sun Wukong. I will not spoil more."

"The way to act is to integrate yourself into the role and devote yourself to it. When I was a child, my family had more monkeys than my brothers and sisters. I grew up with monkeys. I am not acting. I have completely regarded myself as Sun Wukong."

"Nowadays, many young people are bragging that they can act better than me. Then come up and try. If you want to perform the essence of the Monkey King, you can't catch up with me without immersing yourself in this field for decades!"

What is an international superstar.jpg!

Standing in the center, Wu Yuan gritted his teeth and held back his laughter.

I can only say that Mr. Liu is really too humorous. It makes sense that those Mr. Liu scholars find all kinds of dirty talk from his past interviews every day. This "old artist" is really not very good at talking, or he is a little too pretentious.

I can only say that the role of "Sun Wukong" has indeed brought him too much honor and sense of accomplishment. He has been a little lost in this role, and even thinks of himself as Sun Wukong himself.

Otherwise, how can he say "Adaptation is not random editing, drama is not nonsense, XXX wants to apologize to the national audience".

Fortunately, at the premiere of "The Monkey King" this time, Mr. Liu learned a lesson. Although his speech was more or less crazy, he did not say the kind of words that can be called "quotations".

The media at the scene were also very respectful, all smiling and responding, and the atmosphere was very good.

Wu Yuan has always disliked complaining at the premiere, nor did he like long speeches, so after the creators and guests shared their filming experiences and feelings, the main course of today's premiere was finally served.

With a round of neat applause, the lights in the main hall and several adjacent screening rooms were turned off, and the digital projectors that had been prepared long ago started after entering the key, and a movie with a dragon logo slowly lit up on the screen.

It is worth mentioning that "The Monkey King" is not a 3D version of the movie this time, only a 2D IMAX version is available, which means that the audience at the scene does not need to wear 3D glasses to watch it.

Wu Yuan has always been a pioneer director of 3D IMAX in China, and it can even be said that he led Chinese-language films into the 3D IMAX era, but this time his new film gave up 3D, which made many self-media people at the scene secretly record it, and plan to talk about it on the Internet after the screening!

But the most important thing now is to watch the movie first.

As the dragon logo and the logo of the film production company disappeared one after another, the film officially began to play.

At the beginning of the main film, there was a shot overlooking the ground from a height of 10,000 meters. A figure wearing a golden armor was flying in the sky.

"It's Sun Wukong!"

"It's Teacher Liu Xiaolingtong!"

"It's still that familiar face!"

In the audience, a suppressed exclamation sounded, and pairs of expectant eyes were staring at the big screen. (End of this chapter)
