[Lower Part] Chapter 41 "The Return of the Great Sage"

In addition to the high degree of completion of the storyline, the film's landscape layout of Chang'an City, Five Elements Mountain, and the final newly added scenes will also bring the audience a different experience from the novel. Regarding character and landscape modeling, it is a key indicator to distinguish the quality of animated movies, which can be seen. The film has made great efforts in this regard. The modeling ratio, halo rendering, character hair, wind and movements, etc. are very natural. Even if the roughness on the level can still be seen in some scenes, it can also be concealed by the excellent sense of lens.

The plot and scene are only for interpreting the existence of characters. In addition to the character setting of the protagonists such as Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, the character setting of this animated movie is clearly at the level and loyal to the original work, and can also be seen in the settings of many peripheral characters. From the raccoon in "Guardians of the Galaxy", to Dabai in "Super Mobilization", and then to Hu Ba in "Monster Hunt". I believe that the film industry has confirmed the golden status of the equation "cute = box-selling". In "The Return of the Great Sage", we will also see the completely cute Land Lord. After the movie ends, I started to search for its surroundings on Taobao.

In addition to the story, landscape and character design, what is very appreciated is the exquisite conception of action scenes. Although it is completely Hollywood gag-like, it is intriguing and natural in the connection, and sometimes even has the illusion of Hollywood production. What is even more gratifying is that such action arrangement is not only a small part, but basically runs through the entire article.

It is undeniable that as the Chinese animated film market that is still in the stage of increasing local identity, the film production process of "The Return of the Great Sage" is generally based on traditional Hollywood-style film expression. In this context, how to show its labeled characteristics as "Chinese", appropriately express local cultural characteristics, and make effective distinctions in the market has become an important topic. Without display, it will lose its labeled meaning and lose its individual characteristics; improper performance will easily make the audience feel preached and pretentious, which will damage the overall quality of the film.

On this basis, if you pay attention to the details in this movie, you will find the creator's intentions. For shadow puppetry, Qin Di Laoqu and other scenes with local traditional characteristics that appear in the movie, the audience can carefully read them in the movie.

Of course, in Du Xinghe's view, there are still some shortcomings in this movie that need continuous improvement. For example, the episode of Wang Banbi in the film that appears out of the market selling point is very unrestrained from the scene at that time; for example, Sun Wukong's final lack of preparation for the release of shackles, which seems very casual; for example, the frame loss phenomenon of the ultimate battle, the insufficient funding reflected by the rough modeling, etc. But the flaws do not conceal the merits. From the historical perspective of the current Chinese animation market, these can be improved with the gradual increase in market acceptance and brand recognition.

"The Return of the Great Sage" has a high degree of completion, to careful character design, and then to the action scenes with exquisite arrangement and distinct levels, and the overall quality is still very gratifying. Unfortunately, if you look up the personal resume of director Tian Xiaopeng online, you find that there is not even a photo for reference. In today's market environment where the recognition of Chinese animated films is generally low, and then we will associate with self-written and directed for eight years and put together to develop a deep relationship, shouldn't we applaud the silent efforts of such a team? It is certain that this team will definitely write a comment on the future promotional resume - "representative work "The Return of the Great Sage"".

For Chinese animated films, Du Xinghe dared not expect that a national cultural product with lasting international influence such as "Rangke Sword Heart", "Youyou Bai Shu", "Saint Seiya", "Slam Dunk", "Detective Conan", "One Piece", and "Naruto" will appear in a short time. He does not expect that the Chinese people's own Oriental Disney Empire can be achieved overnight on the land of China. But as long as the precious childhood mark in our hearts has not disappeared, as long as we continue to persist in absorbing the essence of tradition, as long as we do not give up learning advanced culture, and as long as there are young "fools" who are simply struggling in the film industry, the dream of Chinese animation will never disappear.

Speaking of "The Return of the Great Sage", we have to talk about another blockbuster "The Taoist" released at the same time as "The Return of the Great Sage".

Du Xinghe also watched this movie, and he watched it with anticipation, but he gained a lot of trouble.

Why is Chen Kai a first-line director? He can't remember it any longer. Ten years ago, "The Wild" came out, and they insulted "Farewell My Concubine" as the director. There were also surprises and regrets. After ten years, criticizing the same person can still say the same sentence. In this endless thought of Jiang Lang's talent, he still spent ten years to make money in the name of the first-line director. It has to be admired.

The legendary fifth generation and even the leading figures in the Chinese-language film industry, comparing Zhang Chen to the same, is undoubtedly seriously unfair to Zhang Yimou.

The title of the national teacher has made the public feel rebellious for many years. After the prosperity, he made a retro look "Return" and still convinced the public. In fact, if you think about Zhang Yimou's works over the years, only "Three Guns" meets the standards of uselessness. No matter how good the others are, they still make contributions. Not to mention the technology and reputation, at least Zhang's ability to explore newcomers is recognized as first-class. Even in the era when fast money is making stars, he has never missed it.

What about Brother Chen Kai? The star girl, the crystal girl, but you have never heard of a singer, the romance of the singer, and the glory of the representative works is just Leslie Cheung's own brilliance. The only personal aesthetic highlight is the lineage from Zhang Fengyi to Wang Xueqi. I have said a long time ago - this is obviously the perfect type 1 in Niang Ge's heart.

Director Chen is not patient in finding new people, and is even less interested in transforming celebrities into his mark. He just wants to accumulate the most well-known and most topical celebrity cooking chowders at the moment. He has never missed the low news of Fengzhi's reunion back then. He has the same thinking as all short-sighted grass-roots teams. The difference is that people have the reputation of a first-line director to realize it. So for so many years, except for a wife who became a mother-in-law, acting director Chen's works is insulated from awards, and he can't even look at awards in Chinese. Not to mention the "international route" that is still unmoved, because he has never considered who is more suitable for the role, nor is he in the mood to polish it for you. He only has a small calculation of who to play the topic and has a higher cost-effective return.

A character without soul does not require acting skills. He is always a good person to play director Chen in recent years. It is strange that "Taoist" has developed to a question of whether the role is suitable or whether the acting skills are sufficient, but that he is not even lazy to be able to play the role of abc option and the obvious need to repeat the mistake. He can understand that Dialing plays Jinlian with limited style, Xu Sanduo's special actor, idol hexagram has a willful attitude, but Fan Wei's leadership speech like waiting for three seconds before speaking, do you let him take abrupt as his personality? Your old baby Wang Xueqi's every move is artificial, is he choking to death by choking the old Zen master in one sentence? Zhang Zhen's style that has worked hard over the years can be divided into two types of ice and fire by the same type of film.

There is no subject that Chen Kaige is good at. He is neither good at "rustic" nor can he play foreign. However, he will immediately (try to) keep up with whatever is popular in the market. At the beginning of the century, fantasy was prevalent. He thought that he had stepped on hot spots and avoided the clichés of the great directors competing for martial arts at that time, but left a joke forever. The theme of "Search" was a Chinese B-level film that was shot five years ago. Did he still secretly feel happy that he had sharply discovered the social hot spots of modern information explosion? He wanted to show everything, and he made embarrassment, and showed his incompetence.

The casting is impetuous and the subject matter is impetuous. It is integrated with the strong winds in the film industry. Director Chen's injury is a more terrible terminal illness that is different from people - deep control.

Movies are the art of pretending 24 times in a second. As a first-line director, how can you do not be profound? What is not important is that it can teach ordinary people the principles of life, and everything must be related to the mysterious yellow of the world. Every sentence is enlightening. You must understand the Buddha, enlighten the Tao, enlighten the world, and enlighten birth, old age, sickness and death from the surface of things that are simple or exaggerated. Everyone says that Taoist priests are Wuji 2, mainly because they are disgusting here.

There are too many nonsense, and none of them look so annoying. Ang Lee doesn’t like to play “classic lines”, and Jingyouzi, who protects Shu Bao, has to cover up his self-deprecating self-deprecating words. Wong Kar-wai, who loves to mass-produce pretentious sentences, is worried about canned pineapple food. He is a trick to fool others in the 1990s. It’s too thrilling to put it now. As a result, “The Grandmaster” comes out, creating whatever he says, and 99.9% of the line writers can only kneel down.

Without this diamond, don’t take on this porcelain job. I know that the front-line directors can’t let go of their figures and are purely funny, but how many bloody verifications have been made, they can’t give up their profoundness. No matter how many Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian embellishments, they can’t show the cleverness you have never had. This movement that makes everyone laugh together must be from the popularization of movie youth to the square aunties?

It is so hard to see the subtitles and credit translations, so it is malicious to speculate that when I think Hu Fengchuang can make a work that looks classy, ​​these self-perception philosophical lines and pronunciations were originally intended to fool the wrong people because the international community likes "deep".

The details of the corners are all about Director Chen's confident imagination of the Internet's "City Shocking Cp" after the release, "Shaolin Baoqiang's smile is demonic" hot topic. He thought he was both very hard. He forgot that we have a lower tolerance for a big and bad movie with a bunch of stars than for grassroots bad movies.

There is also the bad-handed selling of corruption, which is really disgusting. The overlord was playing the wrong side, and the hot topics of corruption naturally became an important point for Director Chen to cater to. Perhaps he was particularly happy to see two versions of the movie elements similar to Chen Kai Ge's movie elements in a special topic to talk about his characteristics, good easter eggs, good trademarks, Liu Ye and Dongjian's magic CP, Xiao Ming's parenting CP, and Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the sun and moon integration.

To the extreme, ancient martial arts films, golden age gun battle films, most of the kindness and revenge in the world are corrupt. What is corrupt is the mutual trust, the righteousness is weak, the words are taciturn, and the hiding is hiding in 99% of the iron man, and the tenderness of 1% can be touching. And Chen Kaige's corrupt is purely a mutation of men and women, and he whispers to each other in all hearts. Likewise, there is no true intention to tell stories, and he is still full of scheming to form topics. As a senior corrupt, he has already used the words that people often say recently, and the embarrassment is incurable in the period.

A Chinese-language front-line director has no martial arts work, so I am really embarrassed to say hello to others. No matter whether you read the officials or not, you have to take care of me for the first time in the world. The long and repeated fights. Twenty years ago, everyone played the remaining Tianma Meteor Fist. Every battle is a classic, and I can't bear to cut every move. Who can tell me what happened to Zhang Zhen and Lin Xue? My wife made a birthday birthday and you sang for only a few minutes. You have to beat me, shrimp soldiers and crab generals for several days. What kind of grudges do you have?

There are many logic chaos, the causes and consequences are vague, and the rhythm is detailed. In the ancient traditional era, everyone hopes that you will tell a story in full. The tolerant modern people do not even want this. There is a market for jokes and brain-dead creeping. There is also a bad taste like ours. It takes a step away to see our blood. Unfortunately, you are neither funny nor pretending to be so stupid. I took a picture of a subject that is tangled. If it is not good, it is not even mysterious.

In short, this movie is just for Du Xinghe to watch. If he has the opportunity to make a movie in the future, he will not take on such a scene even if he is beaten to death.

After Du Xinghe sang "I used to be me", the next song was finally the turn of He Miao, a cute girl in the private room.

She ordered Tang Xu's song "Thousand Paper Cranes", and as soon as she opened the sound, she made the students in the private room cute—

...

I don't think I'm suitable

Every turning point you said

Like the spring scenery outside the window ~

I don't think I understand.

I can only send you here~

What should I say?

...

You're just for the time being

From the city with fragrant flowers ~

Escape elegantly ~

Drive by~ I ran into driving~

Little Jasmine on the hillside~

...

I don't think I'm suitable

One thousand cranes you gave me ~

The color of childhood candy wrappers ~

Why don't you understand yet ~

Sometimes you are yourself ~

It's just a little difficult ~

...

You finally said it ~

We have a commemoration together~

Dinner topic ~

Only then have you become careful~

Take care of the tacit understanding of growth together~

...

After singing a few songs in a row, sitting down and listening quietly to He Miao's sweet singing. Du Xinghe couldn't help but praise this small, big-breasted girl in his heart: So cute. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
