Since God arranged for him to pull out my purple-green sword, he must be an extraordinary person, and there is no mistake! I know that one day he will appear in front of everyone's eyes, wearing golden armor and holy clothes, and stepping on colorful clouds to marry me.
!
The person I love is a great hero. One day he will come to marry me on the colorful clouds. I only guessed the first part, but I couldn't guess the ending...
That man is so strange. I saw it too, he looks like a dog!
.....
Some movies may only make you remember a few lines and a few jokes. However, some movies, in addition to these, what really moves you is their stories. This may be able to
Called a classic.
"Westward Journey" is a tragicomedy in another world, and this movie pushed Xingye to the position of postmodern comedy. However, what is ironic is that when the movie was released, the box office was not good.
However, with the spread of the Internet and piracy, it has become an immortal classic for one generation or even several generations.
I'm afraid no one would deny that "Journey to the West" is a tragic comedy. Many people may think that each of the stories that happened are ordinary, but the strangeness of his narration will tear the tragedy apart for you to watch.
Moreover, it makes you laugh while tearing it apart. You are smiling on your face and crying in your heart. You are laughing when you don’t understand it. You are crying when you understand it. You are laughing when you are watching it and crying when you are recalling it.
"Westward Journey" was successful, but this success only came many years later. Some people say that "Westward Journey" is a super comedy that transcends the times, while others say that "Westward Journey" was born at the wrong time. This film did not have too many early stages.
Zhou's comedy, which had little publicity and few reviews, not only did not hit the box office at the time, but also received few critical reviews.
After experiencing disappointment at the box office, "Westward Journey" has almost become silent. At most, you can hear some funny and absurd comments. At that time, most viewers were puzzled by how a story could be split into two episodes.
The Monkey King, who is so confused and used to watching six-year-old children, cannot accept the new version of the Monkey King played by Stephen Chow. Why does the nonsensical Stephen Chow start to incite love and act out a love story? In short, for "Moonlight"
"Treasure Box" and "The Marriage of the Monkey King". Audiences felt that in addition to being strange, it was still strange. In 1995 and 1996, "Westward Journey" was still basically a film with no reputation or promotion.
In a dramatic change, no one expected that "Westward Journey" would then rise on campus, spread on pirated CDs, and become very popular on websites. Many fans and viewers spontaneously organized "Dahua Fans"
No one knows why "Westward Journey" became so popular, but many people can't help but like it. Some people like the dialogues of "Westward Journey", and some people like the dialogues of "Westward Journey".
Itinerant technique. Some people like Stephen Chow’s offbeat comedy.
The pinnacle of "Westward Journey" allowed Stephen Chow to dominate comedy for ten years!
Zhao Ze has watched "Westward Journey" countless times. Even now, he still feels that it is a bit strange. It takes nearly two hundred minutes to put together, and elements such as time travel, past and present lives, magic and supernatural powers are intertwined in it in a imaginative way, which even makes it so exciting.
After watching it once or twice, it is difficult for people to clearly understand the structure of the story and the creative intention behind the screen.
But every time there is a vague feeling, a feeling that is resonant but difficult to describe! This feeling lets us know that we don’t need to understand the ins and outs of all the plots to be touched by the feeling conveyed by the movie.
, and everyone can get something suitable for themselves from it. Different people may receive different hints, and the reasons why their hearts are touched may also be different.
The reason why Zhao Ze was so arrogant in saying that he wanted to film and adapt "Journey to the West" was thanks to China Entertainment Media and Peter Collin. It was them who made him discover that this classic movie did not appear in this time and space.
Chinese symbols!
This is what Zhao Ze mentioned in his counterattack article. "Westward Journey" is "very Chinese", and these are full of the charm of Chinese culture, which foreigners cannot understand. Someone once said this
of a story.
An international student sitting in a foreign cinema watching an American movie, although his English has no barriers, but when the foreign audience in the theater laughs at an interesting dialogue, it is still difficult for him to understand the humor in it.
At that time, he thought of the phrase "Sister Guanyin" by Tang Monk in "Journey to the West", and thought that no matter how well foreigners learned Chinese, they would not feel the charm of it, so a sense of cultural estrangement arose spontaneously; thinking of his own fact
I have been "influenced by Chinese culture", so I was immersed in the memories of "Journey to the West" and burst into tears.
........
When writing the script, Zhao Ze was immersed in the story and felt a little sad. Liu Zhenwei once said that the box office failure of "Westward Journey" was because it was edited into two episodes, which affected the audience. For "Westward Journey" that year,
Some of the filming and production of "Journey to the West" can be said to be quite rough.
The special effects are almost impossible to watch. After all, the filming of "Westward Journey" back then only lasted more than a hundred days. In just over a hundred days, the first and second episodes were filmed. It can be imagined that the crew at that time was rushing to work.
How fast.
Although there were many conflicts during the filming in Xi'an, even so, all the mainland staff gave thumbs up when they mentioned the difficulty of filming and the dedicated actors!
Pinxuan Entertainment!
Li Chen flew over from Yanjing specifically because Zhao Ze's script had been written. It was a thick script. After reading it, Ning Hao and Li Chen were a little stunned, and even more shocked by Zhao Ze's unconstrained style.
"Ozawa, this, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a love movie, and it seems like a love tragedy!"
Li Chen said to Zhao Ze.
"I have said before that this movie is positioned as a tragicomedy!"
Zhao Ze said with a smile.
In another world, Stephen Chow positioned "Westward Journey" as a love story. He hoped to interpret a love tragedy in Zhou's style, thereby getting rid of the interviewer saying that "Stephen Chow can only act in comedies", although Stephen Chow has been making transcendent comedies before.
However, it was not until "Westward Journey" that this kind of effort was realized and recognized by everyone. The entire script was slowly improved during the subsequent filming process, and even a large number of names in "Moonlight Box", including
The Supreme Treasure and Spring Thirty Niang were all appropriated from another scrapped script.
"However, the market may not necessarily buy a movie like this!"
Ning Hao said worriedly.
"If it were a few years ago, maybe many people would not buy it, but Uncle Ning and Uncle Li, you should be able to see that movies are becoming more and more novel, and the audience's receptive ability is also very strong, even if it is
People no longer just respect the original works of the four great classics, and the outbreak of "The Legend of Wukong" can also illustrate this point."
Zhao Ze shook his head and smiled.
Li Chen thought about it and felt that it was right, so he asked another concerned question, "What are your plans for being an actor?"
"Spider Spirit and Bai Jingjing. Uncle Li should still remember Zhou Xiao'e and Bai Jie. Spider Spirit is more charming and charming, and Bai Jie is very suitable. As for Bai Jingjing, I believe Zhou Xiao'e is also qualified."
"The others, Tang Monk, Bull Demon King, Niu Xiangxiang, Princess Iron Fan, and Patriarch Bodhi are all easy to talk to, and the requirements are not big."
"Zhizunbao and Zixia, these two protagonists are the most important to consider."
Zhao Ze finally said.
"Sun Wukong, it would be fine if it was just about playing stars, but the Supreme Treasure also requires a lot of acting skills and comedy exaggeration effects. It is difficult to find the right one for this. Moreover, in addition, Zixia is all
The highlight of the play, and what is needed is the kind of performance that is not mundane and more sincere. Especially the most natural and authentic private feelings in the play that are caught up in love, happiness and distress. This needs
It’s not just her strong acting skills, but also her own character.”
Ning Hao frowned and said.
"The two leading actors will be released for the time being. In this way, the news will be announced first. At the same time, external casting, such as Tang Monk, Sand Monk, Princess Iron Fan, Zhu Bajie, Bull Demon King and other characters, will be retained for the time being.
"
Zhao Ze finally decided.
"Thank you for your continued concern and support. At present, the script has been prepared and the film is titled "Westward Journey". The main characters in the play will be publicly cast!"
On January 22, Pinxuan Entertainment officially announced the news!
As soon as the news came out, it caused great controversy. Many media reported and criticized Zhao Ze for being so stubborn. Moreover, many people felt that Zhao Ze was completely wrong.
Follow the trend.
Damn it, China Entertainment Media just announced that the title of the film is "Fantasy Westward Journey", does Pinxuan Entertainment just name it "Westward Journey"?
Damn, this, this is just a joke, it’s so shameless to follow the trend like this!
Let me go, Zhao Ze, have you exhausted your talents, or are you injured and swollen forever?
Speechless, I really feel quite speechless, Nima, do you want to be so funny?
Countless Zehei people even cursed on the Internet. This time, even some of Zhao Ze's fans were a little ashamed, because they felt that Zhao Ze was too powerful for following the trend!
Zhao Ze can't take into account the doubts from the outside world for the time being. At this time, he is still considering who should play the roles of Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy. At this time, a hot news on campus from Yanjing Communication University,
Zhao Ze's eyes instantly lit up.
