Chapter 419
The Great Sage’s Marriage achieved such incredible box office results.
Film critics and media are not all focused on the box office.
As a qualified media person, you have to report on other places as well, and your main focus is on all aspects!
After two days of precipitation!
On Douban, the rating of The Great Sage’s Marriage has dropped!
Lost one point!
But the number of people who rated it was record-breaking!
At ten o’clock this morning, there were already more than 300,000 people!
This number alone is enough to show that The Great Sage’s Marriage has fully met the requirements of a phenomenal movie!
Never before has a movie had 300,000 ratings on Douban within two days of its release!
Even for many high-box office movies, after one or two years of accumulation, the number of reviewers has not reached this number!
but!
Just when film critics and film media want to seize this point and praise the great sage’s marriage!
A movie review from an entertainment celebrity!
It quickly hit the hot search list!
Attracted the viewing of all netizens!
The click rate, number of comments, and forwarding volume are growing at an exaggerated rate!
Let them all be envious after seeing it!
……
Yang Fan, as an entertainment V with more than 8 million fans,
faced the dispute between Cao Wei and Zhang Lao artists about the adaptation of Journey to the West.
At the beginning, he did stand up and express his views as a pure guest.
Why was it silent afterwards?
It was because Zhang Lao’s artist team contacted him and hoped that he could resolutely defend the cultural treasure of Journey to the West.
Yang Fan was not stupid and knew that the other party wanted to use him as a gunman.
Anyway, his point has been made.
Cao Wei must have seen it too.
He has defended his identity as a loyal reader of Journey to the West.
There is no need to get involved in the grudge between the two.
And what he replied to netizens was not just words.
He really didn’t like the old artist Zhang’s way of life.
It has almost occupied the masterpiece Journey to the West.
I wish I could change Wu Chengen’s name to Zhang Jinlai’s.
So after Yang Fan expressed his opinion.
Just kept silent.
I’m thinking of waiting for Westward Journey to be released.
Saw it.
Then stand up and express your opinion.
But Yang Fan didn’t expect it.
The first part of Westward Journey was shot so well.
Yang Fan is not only an entertainer, but also a film critic!
170 has more say in whether a movie is good or bad than many film critics!
When he watches movies, he often sees things that many film critics cannot!
When 90% of film critics think that the first part of Westward Journey is a hilarious comedy!
Yang Fan, like the other 10% of film critics, saw something deeper in the first part of Westward Journey!
What Cao Wei wanted to express!
Therefore, in order to read the entire story more completely and express a more objective and fair point of view!
Yang Fan chose silence again!
Waiting for the release of The Great Sage’s Marriage!
Fortunately, he was lucky!
Cao Wei, just like The Deer and the Cauldron, did not keep him waiting long!
Two months later, he was waiting for the great sage to get married!
Zero o’clock stall!
Yang Fan went to see it!
After reading this!
I can’t calm down for a long time!
He doesn’t believe it!
I don’t believe Cao Wei is such a genius!
I really want to express so many things!
You can really adapt Journey to the West into a flower!
So, after getting up from a nap, Yang Fan went to see it again!
Second brush!
Then at night, three brushes!
Then Saturday, noon, four brushes!
Tonight, five strokes!
After reading it, Yang Fan was already numb!
impossible!
There is no way that a great sage getting married would be so outrageous!
But the movie-watching experience over and over again told him!
The marriage of the great sage is so outrageous!
You were right!
That’s right!
Cao Wei is to express these things you think!
Otherwise, the completion of the Great Sage’s marriage would not have been so amazing!
Yang Fan was so shocked that he stopped the urge to pick up the pen!
Get some sleep!
I decided to take a nap and start writing again!
This morning, Yang Fan woke up at around eight o’clock!
Then when I think of the Great Sage’s Marriage, it’s all my thoughts after watching it for the first time yesterday and the day before yesterday!
Ever since!
Yang Fan is no longer restrained!
turn on computer!
Achieved in one fell swoop!
A film review that is worthy of becoming a god comes into being!
In an instant, countless netizens who knew nothing about it…
countless film critics who were still hesitating…
and countless viewers who just watched it as a comedy or a love story…
found the answer!
I know what the two films in the Westward Journey series, their director and creator, Cao Wei, really want to express!
No opening remarks!
At the beginning of the article, Yang Fan expressed how shocked he was after watching the marriage of the great sage, and then wrote about why he was so shocked!
There is no pretense, just give it!
Yang Fan wrote this:
In many language systems, such as Cantonese, telling lies actually means lying.
So Westward Journey is naturally a different story from Journey to the West.
However, at the end of the film, I saw Tang Seng and his disciples drifting away under the sunset.
Only then did I realize that this was a nonsense story.
In the end, it still ends in the same story as the Journey to the West we know.
It turns out that Bai Jingjing and Zixia are just passers-by in Zhizunbao’s life.
And the so-called rebellion against taking the Western Scriptures, and the encounter and entanglement with Bai Jingjing Zixia.
Finally, he understood it only after he died once and could see the world clearly.
These are just the frivolities of my youth!
But after the real responsibility arrives, there is actually no choice.
No matter how rebellious and dissolute we are, we must eventually return to the responsibilities given by society.
Perhaps, this is the law of this world!
In the first part, when you love freely, you only know debauchery and don’t understand time. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In this novel, when you meet true love, you meet at the wrong time, leaving no regrets.
And things in this world are always like this.
There is freedom when you are young and you don’t know the responsibility of what you do.
Thinking about rebellion all day, being complacent, not knowing how to walk, love and hate, but not understanding the meaning of love.
And when I became an adult, I finally understood the responsibilities that I should shoulder.
But I found that in the process of moving towards responsibility, what I had to give up were actually some of the most precious things in life!
In the first part, there are too many funny passages that make people laugh.
But if that were all it had, it would probably become a passer-by in our minds like those other films.
You may occasionally think of it, but mostly you will gradually forget it.
Instead of leaving a deep mark on my heart like it is now!
As I write this now, I feel like I still have a thousand words in my heart.
I think it is the highest-rated Chinese comedy movie on Douban right now.
Its story paradigm and themes must be universal.
Otherwise, it would never have achieved such widespread acclaim and box office success.
The words “How can I save you without wearing a golden hoop, how can I love you if I wear a golden hoop” show the struggle of Zhizunbao in his final decision.
However, he failed to save
his Zixia Fairy in the end.
In the film, Cao Wei conceived a circular story with Sun Wukong as the protagonist.
It started with Sun Wukong’s rebellion and Tang Monk’s suicide.
And when Wukong put on the golden hoop and used the Moonlight Box to travel back, the world seemed completely different from before.
One film critic interpreted it as indicating that the entire Westward Journey story is a dream of Wukong.
However, after I read it five times, I found that the story can actually be understood like this:
Wukong refused to obey Tang Monk’s discipline, did not go to get the Western Scriptures as planned, and even colluded with the Bull Demon King to kill his master.
Later, Wukong was subdued by Guanyin, but Tang Monk exchanged his life for another.
In exchange for Sun Wukong’s chance to come back again.
Because Wukong did not take the Western Scripture, the world became different.
Bai Jingjing and Chun Sansanniang became enemies, and the second boss became a bandit.
Bodhi (bicf) was killed, and Wukong became the Supreme Treasure.
But what was different from before was that this time he voluntarily wore the golden hoop.
But when he put on the golden hoop and traveled back from the Moonlight Box, the world was different.
In this world…
there is no hatred between Bai Jingjing and Chun Sananniang.
The second boss is not a bandit either.
Bodhi did not have to die and became a tour guide.
And Zhizunbao and Zixia can finally be together!
In this way, everyone has a good ending.
However, the moment Sun Wukong left the body of the Supreme Treasure, just like Guanyin’s words, everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
From a rebel who didn’t want to wear the golden hoop, he became a redeemer who resolved the hatred in the world.
Sun Wukong came to the world for a while, and then left naked, shouldering his responsibilities.
And this is exactly what it means to grow up!
When he saw Tang Seng said to him, “Wait a minute.”���If you understand what it means to sacrifice one’s life for righteousness, you will sing this song with me.
When I read it for the first time, I just laughed, but it was difficult to understand the profound meaning of this sentence at the first time.
When I watch it for the fifth time, Wukong’s subsequent transformation may be precisely because he understands the principle of sacrificing himself for righteousness!
In fact, a very interesting point is that this story and the original Journey to the West reach the same destination by different routes.
The story of Journey to the West was quite pioneering and avant-garde at the time.
A monkey that is not afraid of heaven and earth can actually cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace and make the Jade Emperor miserable.
However, the rebellion of the strongest child cannot stand against the whole world.
Sun Wukong was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain and suffered wind and rain for five hundred years.
Finally found an opportunity to accept this society, take on one’s own responsibilities, and reconcile with the world that one fights against.
In this way, this Westward Journey, which was born in modern times, is full of post-modern labels, is anti-traditional, represents fashion and rebellion…
actually has the same story core as Journey to the West more than 400 years ago.
In fact, society has always had an unquestionable status in the traditional Dragon Kingdom culture.
So much so that in the collective subconscious of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, compromise is the norm when they grow up.
Therefore, we rarely have stories in which we are full of ambition when we are young, and achieve what we want when we are old and are satisfied until we are old.
What’s more, it’s a story about how he realized his frivolousness when he was young and reconciled with the world after getting into trouble.
Such as Journey to the West, such as Nezha, such as Bai Suzhen.
The people of Longguo have a pragmatism based on a simple materialistic worldview.
So we love tragedy, and there are few miracles in stories.
Therefore, even in a love story like Westward Journey, equal exchange is the core principle.
To gain something, you must sacrifice something.
There will be no miracle that can change the tragic ending.
Therefore, Zixia must die because Sun Wukong must go to obtain the scriptures.
Looking at it this way, the project of the movie Westward Journey itself seems to be interpreting this theme.
A rebellious avant-garde form, but in the end it tells a traditional tragic story, which can also be regarded as a kind of reconciliation with society.
This emotional experience is so common that everyone can relate to it.
So Westward Journey, in my opinion, has become the pinnacle of Chinese comedy movies!
If you don’t see the ancients before and the newcomers don’t see after you, it’s not a bad reputation at all!
It is worth noting that when Zixia was waiting for the one she loved, she said:
He will definitely come to marry me wearing golden armor and holy clothes and walking on seven-color clouds.
Qingxia laughed at her for being crazy.
But Zixia said that this is not a mental illness, but an ideal.
Here, Zixia maintains her childlike simplicity of believing in ideals.
She did not give up, nor did she reconcile with society submissively.
So, she guessed the beginning, but not the tragic ending.
From this point of view, who can know the helplessness and regret contained in this reconciliation with sacrifice?
When I was young and frivolous, I only knew how to squander and not cherish. When responsibility came, I realized that I had no choice.
This regret of growing up may be something that everyone has experienced.
The reality is of course very good, just like Wukong lifting the golden cudgel, carrying it on his shoulders, and embarking on a journey with Master and the others.
Although it is a bit boring, it is still interesting and meaningful.
However, in a body that is consumed by reality every day…
Underneath the expression of someone who laughs when someone calls him a dog…
the beauty that he has missed, the regrets that are deep in his heart and cannot be saved by humanity, are unforgettable. Unforgettable.
Some people are in love and lovers, and some people are other things.
When I saw that scene, what made me cry was actually the regret that I had missed since I was a child.
When we grow up, we are no longer children.
Those dreams that cannot be realized…
those lovers who loved but could not stay together…
even the life that I once had a chance but had no choice…
they are gone forever in the real world!
But in the ideal world, they condense into the most beautiful existence due to the accumulation of memories!
Wukong in Journey to the West couldn’t hold Zixia’s hand because he wanted to protect his master.
With this choice, the countless good things that have been missed in life can only shine in memory when looking back.
But, life is like this, so what should we do?
The lines say:
There was once a true love in front of me, but I didn’t cherish it. I regretted it when I lost it. The most painful thing in the world is this…
If God gives me a chance to do it again Chances are, I’ll tell that girl I love you!
If I want to add a time limit to this love, I hope it will be ten thousand years!
This reminds me of a poem written by Yan Shu in the sand of Huanxi:
It is better to take pity on the person in front of you!
What a sad tragedy indeed!
But the best we can do is to treat these seemingly ordinary beauties with the cherishment they deserve while they are still in front of us! .
