In the cinema, Zhong Jiajia wiped her tears with a tissue while staring at the big screen intently, for fear of missing any details.
One second ago, he was still immersed in the sadness of being stabbed by Jiang Liu'er.
The next second, he was completely captivated by the transformation from melting stone into armor and flaming robes.
From the gorgeous and extremely realistic armor special effects, anyone can tell that a lot of money was spent on it.
In an instant, the Great Sage seemed to have transformed into the appearance that caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. The return of the Great Sage in the title of the film was successfully echoed at this moment and was best interpreted.
The BGM plays tragic music, and the high-octane fighting scene officially begins.
Jiang Yuan watched this scene in the cinema, still feeling a little emotional.
Before he came to Blue Star, Jiang Yuan liked this movie very much, which can be said to have changed the landscape of Chinese comics.
However, when I watch the end of the movie, I always feel a bit unfinished.
Mainly because after the transformation, the scene of the great sage fighting was too short, and the monster was killed directly with two sticks.
Although to a certain extent, this kind of treatment can indeed highlight the strength of the great sage.
But I always feel that the greater possibility is that the production funds are not too sufficient, after all, it is really expensive.
Therefore, in this re-enactment, Jiang Yuan slightly lengthened this part of the fight.
Allowing the Color Painting Studio to burn a little more money.
Therefore, for almost the next two minutes, Jiang Yuan heard the exclamations one after another from the audience behind him because of the fighting scene.
Obviously, the special art effects in this section are very amazing, which proves that the money is really well spent.
The fight ends handsomely in every frame, and the final scene is still above the blue sky, with the great sage's red cloak fluttering in the wind.
At this time, a shout of "Great Sage" came from behind.
The final scene is fixed on the great sage looking back full of hope, still just like the original work, with a blank space as the ending of the movie.
After the movie screening is over, there is the ending part.
There are no Easter eggs, just a small screen next to the huge subtitles to show some behind-the-scenes footage.
Because it was a road show, the lights did not come on immediately.
Many viewers were still sitting attentively, waiting to hear the ending song sung by Jiang Yuan.
This time in the OST of "The Return of the Great Sage", Jiang Yuan sang a total of two songs.
The tracks on the soundtrack are basically restored versions of the movie itself, in which Jiang Yuan sang "Braveheart" which appeared as an interlude in the film.
As for the choice of the ending song, another song was chosen, which is also about the theme of the Great Sage.
From the movie "The Legend of Wukong", the interlude sung by Lin Zhixuan, "Empty".
The moment when the melody played by traditional Chinese instruments and the prelude composed of spatial sound effects are played through the panoramic sound equipment in the cinema.
An ethereal feeling suddenly lingered around the audience.
Most of the audience who are still immersed in the aftertaste of the story are fans of Jiang Yuan.
At this moment, I also pricked up my ears and listened to this new song seriously.
"The star fell to the bottom of the lake, and the moon disappeared without a trace,
I will never forget the sight of you leaving~"
Jiang Yuan's singing gave fans a feeling of surprise from the very beginning.
On the one hand, it is indeed because of the equipment that Jiang Yuan’s singing and the top-notch mixing effects in the later stage are best presented.
On the other hand, Jiang Yuan has indeed rarely tried this style of singing before.
A slightly classical yet emotional singing style that successfully draws the audience into the song's situation.
"The shadow of the past, the unspoken sorrow,
How can we forget the smile in our dreams~"
The singing speed of the song is not fast, allowing the audience to hear every word clearly, and Jiang Yuan's singing skills are growing day by day.
This kind of song with a relatively slow speaking speed can easily produce a greasy drag effect accidentally.
However, what is presented in this song is rather soul-stirring.
While Jiang Yuan himself was sitting in the front row listening, he was also secretly reviewing the singing of this song, and whether there was anything he could improve on.
"The clouds are scattered and the wind never stops. I have gained and lost several times.
.......
All the way from night to dawn, searching and searching, ups and downs,
It’s just a dream, I won’t wake up~”
The song enters the first chorus, and the charming melody combined with the emotion in Jiang Yuan's singing creates a very special sense of poignancy.
Let everyone start to indulge in it unconsciously when listening to this song.
Jiang Yuan was sitting in the front row, quietly turning his head from time to time to observe the reactions of the audience.
Seeing that everyone was listening with rapt attention, I felt a rare sense of relief.
After all, in the past, most of the time when ending credits were played in movies like this, it was background music during clearance, and few viewers would listen carefully to the end.
However, there seems to be a different kind of tacit understanding.
Even the passers-by in the audience were very quiet, did not speak loudly, and listened to the song attentively.
The entire song is over five minutes long, with lengthy subtitles.
But at this moment, no one seemed to feel the length of time.
Although it is a repetitive melody, it does not appear monotonous at all. The processing of different arias naturally creates a progressive emotion in the audience.
"The clouds drift away, but the wind never leaves,
We embrace each other sincerely, but we are separated from each other,
Drunk and laughing, I don’t mention the so-called fate..."
The song soon reached the last chorus, and as it entered the second half of the song, the soul-stirring momentum became more prominent.
Although it is not a song that is easy to become popular upon hearing it, once you calm down and listen carefully, you will be attracted by the singing.
"It turned out to be a fantasy~~
If you stay true to your word, you will never give up!"
Next, Jiang Yuan's high notes gave the audience a very satisfying listening experience.
I was stunned by the high note, and after a while of wow sounds, the song fell back and settled at the end.
"It's all in vain, ignorance"
When he sang the last line, Jiang Yuan's slightly choking voice was amplified, and everyone got into the mood of the song and fell down.
After the ending song was played, the audience started to applaud led by some fans. Although it was not very uniform, it still rang for a while.
Jiang Yuan, who was sitting in the front row, was slightly startled, thinking that this was just because he was discovered.
But then, after the song ended, everyone finally turned up the volume and began to share their feelings about the movie or OST, and only then did Jiang Yuan confirm that he had not been discovered.
"I didn't expect that the movie would be so brutal at the end. When Jiang Liu'er was buried, I couldn't hold back my tears!"
"Me too, but the transformation scene afterwards was so hot, so cool!"
"That's true, those few fights were so cool to me, I could feel the money burning!"
“But I have to say, it’s really fun to spend the money! I will bring my friends to play again later and contribute some box office!”
"The OST is really nice. It even has the ending song in the movie."
"In the ending song, I feel like Jiang Yuan's singing skills have improved a lot. Touring is really a workout!"
"Yeah, it feels like a different style than before, and the high note at the end is particularly cool!"
“I don’t know who sang the other OSTs, but the voices sound familiar to me.”
…
While waiting for the main creative staff to enter the scene, everyone was communicating openly.
Jiang Yuan also listened silently to the discussion of the audience in the row behind him for a while, feeling as if he was listening to a live version of the barrage, which was quite subtle.
But after listening, I do want to answer and share some questions about the OST lineup.
This time, Jiang Yuan only sang two of the songs in the movie.
For several other songs, in order to ensure the richness of the music, other singers were also found to sing.
Basically, Shang Yan'er and Ye Xuanqi both sent invitations.
However, the OST sound source has not yet been officially launched, so the lineup is basically in an unlocked state.
Only the audience who came to the cinema to watch the movie and heard the singing had some vague guesses.
Jiang Yuan was just thinking. The lights in the theater came on at this time, and the theater staff began to enter the theater to set up the scene.
Jiang Yuan also stood up from the seat in the front row.
At first, when Jiang Yuan stood up, he didn't attract many people's attention.
After all, Jiang Yuan only wore a cultural shirt with the words "The Return of the Great Sage" printed on it, and a peaked cap on his head, covering his face.
Therefore, even if there were audience members who noticed Jiang Yuan at the scene, they basically thought it was the staff of the creative team who didn't pay much attention.
Instead, he looked more intently at the entrance, waiting for the creative team to enter.
However, Zhong Jiajia was somewhat attracted by Jiang Yuan's figure.
Different from other viewers, Zhong Jiajia also cares about the members of the main creative team.
So I knew in advance that except for the main creator, no one else would wear movie-themed shirts during road shows.
Moreover, Zhong Jiajia also noticed that this person stood up from the first row and must have watched the whole movie with everyone.
In addition, although Jiang Yuan didn't show his face, Jiang Yuan's height and figure were there, which made Zhong Jiajia feel a little unusual.
Subconsciously, I began to think about "Jiang Yuan's" position in the creative team, and what questions to ask later.
Seeing that no one noticed him, Jiang Yuan quickly moved to the entrance and joined Jiang Caihua and others.
After the lights, fences and professional photography equipment were arranged on site, the host also began to enter the venue to announce the arrival of the main creators.
The big screen has been switched to the exclusive background of the road show.
Jiang Yuan also entered the scene at this time among the creative team.
The entire creative team is an amateur to most people, and only Jiang Caihua is slightly more recognizable to the audience because he was basically beside Jiang Yuan at the premiere.
"Welcome our creative team of "The Return of the Great Sage", let everyone introduce yourselves to our audience!"
The host said.
The audience did not notice that the host's voice contained a sense of excitement that was uncontrollable.
"Hello everyone, I am director Jiang Caihua..."
"Hi everybody, I'm……"
The creative members introduced themselves one by one, while Jiang Yuan quietly hid behind him and did not take the microphone, preparing to give the audience a surprise.
In fact, since Jiang Yuan has not introduced himself and is wearing a hat alone, it has aroused the curiosity of some viewers at the scene.
For example, Zhong Jiajia originally thought that Jiang Yuan should be a handsome guy based on his body shape, and he should play a more important role in the creative team.
But after being introduced one by one, it was discovered that Jiang Yuan did not play an important role in the creative team.
Even after everyone introduced themselves, no one took the microphone.
Around Zhong Jiajia, some people also began to discuss this point in a low voice.
"Why didn't that handsome guy in the hat introduce himself?"
"Eh? Did you notice it too?"
"I noticed it. I think he looks pretty handsome, but his face is a bit unclear. It would be nice if he could take off his hat!"
…
Listening to the discussion of the people around her, Zhong Jiajia nodded secretly. As expected, the hero saw the same thing.
Then, I heard the host's tone suddenly become excited.
"Today, in addition to the main creative members who have introduced themselves, there is also a special main creative who came to the scene!"
The host announced loudly, which immediately made the audience become noisy and curious.
Many people's eyes were also directly fixed on Jiang Yuan wearing a hat.
At this time, Jiang Caihua and others also moved slightly to both sides of Jiang Yuan, letting Jiang Yuan stand in the C position.
With everyone watching, Jiang Yuan also took off his hat.
The moment she took off her hat, Zhong Jiajia felt that her head was suddenly confused.
Although there is a distance, Jiang Yuan still looks handsome clearly.
The conversations of other audience members before the show also began to flash through Zhong Jiajia's mind, "I heard that Jiang Yuan seems to be participating in today's road show."
Almost no one in the audience thought that this rumor might be true.
After the scene was quiet or down for a second or two, some audience members let out a burst of screams at the right time.
"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Yuan, in this movie..."
At this time, Jiang Yuan finally took the microphone from the host and began to introduce himself.
After Jiang Yuan finished briefly introducing himself, the atmosphere at the road show suddenly became a lot more heated.
Everyone basically took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures of Jiang Yuan.
The audience who originally seemed a little calm now turned into excited expressions.
Since the premiere, Jiang Caihua and others have experienced such a lively road show scene for the first time in a long time.
However, we started to interact with the audience according to the normal road show process.
After it was obvious that Jiang Yuan was present, everyone immediately became enthusiastic. Before the interactive Q&A session, some Sheniu audience members started shouting at Jiang Yuan.
