"White Birch Forest" perfectly fits this short film. In fact, Li Yi himself was a little surprised.
I have to say that the combination of the two is truly a match made in heaven.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Yi to arrange and score his own music, and he does not have the ability.
But where is this place?
Who is Li Yi?
This is the Xichuan Youth Film Festival, and Li Yi has taken action again, and this time he actually wrote the theme song for a short film.
Therefore, there are a lot of film scorers and musicians volunteering every minute!
It can be said that the short film after the re-sounding is completely different from the previous short film. Although it only added the song "Birch Forest" and the melody of this song as the background music, the overall feeling is completely different.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Li Yi's name is included in it.
After the news came out, the short film, which was immediately renamed "Birch Forest", became a hit.
And the audience who watched the short film were also shocked.
"Damn it, why does it feel like a MV short film?"
"I heard that Director Dog watched the music and created it on the spot!"
"Awesome, I have forgotten that "Only Mom is Good", the earliest work created by Director Gou, is also very good!"
"It's a bit exaggerated to say the Midas touch turns gold into gold, but it really makes this short film completely sublime!"
"Listening to the melodious melody and the song, I don't have to watch the short film to get rid of the melancholy. I have pictures in my mind."
Li Yi didn't pay much attention to this.
Practicing yoga, especially with a yoga ball, is very time-consuming!
But this year's Xichuan Youth Film Festival cannot avoid Li Yi.
This has also made many film festivals flock to Li Yi. There is no way, this guy, wherever he goes, he just makes the headlines, right?
The key is that movie fans absolutely love the dog director!
The song "Birch Forest" is even more exaggerated.
The passionate singing version of the song by the king of folk songs, Zheng Bai, went online and immediately landed on the new song charts, and quickly climbed to the top of the list.
And this is a fucking ballad!
It’s not that ballads can’t be on the list, but these days, ballads are in decline. The list used to be almost all kinds of pop music, but “Birch Forest”, with its unique poignant and sad story, makes this song even more popular.
There is an aura, and the song itself has a very obvious sense of imagery. Even those who have not watched the short film can still find the imagery from the music.
Many media even shouted that the King of Folk Songs is back.
However, Li Yi ran away after pretending to be 13.
Star Comics' production of "The Return of the Great Sage" is nearing completion.
In fact, compared to animated films like "WALL-E", "The Return of the Great Sage" was easier to produce for Star Comics.
Moreover, the two are completely different.
Because "Wall-E" is truly Li Yi's work, and "The Return of the Great Sage" Li Yi only provides a script, like the image of the Great Sage, the image of the goblin, and the image of the monster in the film,
As well as the image of the villain Chaos, they were all designed by people from Star Comics.
Of course, every time a design draft is completed, it will be sent to Li Yi for review as soon as possible.
In fact, Li Yi is also looking forward to the new version of "The Return of the Great Sage".
Because the "Return of the Great Sage" in my memory actually has flaws in many aspects.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with insufficient funds.
In Xingman, there is no problem of insufficient funds, and the size of the production team is also very different.
In Li Yi's memory, it can be said that the production team of "The Return of the Great Sage" was really motivated by love at the beginning. Not only was it short of money, it was also short of people.
But it’s completely different in Star Comics.
From a technical perspective, with the production experience of "WALL-E", it is really not that difficult to produce "The Return of the Great Sage".
Li Yi even wanted money to give money and people to give to others.
Therefore, although the production time of "The Return of the Great Sage" is shorter, the quality is actually higher.
Simply starting with the "Havoc in Heaven" sequence, in Li Yi's opinion, is far superior to the original.
The Havoc in Heaven is the most iconic event of the Monkey King. It can be said that it is extremely important to the entire film, even if it is just a memory.
However, for Sun Wukong and the Monkey King, making havoc in the Heavenly Palace, in the hearts of everyone, it can be said that this incident is the foundation of his heroic personality!
Therefore, this paragraph is not unimportant!
And the fact is that the first paragraph at the beginning can be called the biggest scene in the entire film, with the most characters and the most intense fighting. In fact, the time spent in this more than one minute scene is the same proportion.
Double the time.
Li Yi was quite satisfied.
The design of the latter, including the mountain monster and the final boss, is also very different from the simplicity of the original version.
The film is made, all that's left are the details and tweaks.
The next step is publicity.
However, Li Yi already had an idea for the promotion of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".
The smell of wine is also afraid of the depth of the alley. For any movie to be a hit, quality promotion is indispensable.
Maybe it can be fermented by word of mouth, but in that case, the film will miss the best harvest period.
When it came to "The Gift of Room No. 7," in fact, if Xuanfa could have done better, the box office would definitely have exceeded that number.
Although "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is based on Journey to the West and the core character is Sun Wukong, the story of "Journey to the West" has always had two opposite directions of interpretation, one is reunion and the other is emptiness. The source of the division comes from
Sun Wukong is the absolute protagonist, because his legendary life is full of possibilities of convergence and separation, with being crushed by the Five Elements Mountain as the dividing line. It can be said that making trouble in the Heavenly Palace is a kind of personality ideal, and taking the Western Classic is a peak life.
The most widely circulated in the past, including those performed on the stage, what the common people love to watch is the original story that finally achieves success. According to the book, Sun Dasheng is a happy immortal in the world, whether he is unruly and unruly, trampling on the sky, or being subjected to...
Trapped in the Five Elements Mountain and embarking on the path to seek Buddhist scriptures, he is a happy hero. He is humorous, wise in understanding the secrets of heaven, and insightful in worldly affairs. If it is about explaining the secrets of Zen, he is still above the master. He is the guide of Monk Tang's practice. He is the active leader in achieving Zhengtong.
Although the direction of progress is full of hardships, it will come naturally and there is nothing tragic about it.
The interpretation of nothingness is more modern. The impossibility and impermanence of life, the confrontation between existence and nothingness, the fragility of life and the rapid aging of beauty all affect the more susceptible and independent hearts of modern people. People are no longer satisfied with one person.
A closed, comedic interpretation, they saw the sadness of fate from the turning point of Sun Wukong's fate!
Nothingness is actually real to a certain extent.
"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" actually belongs to the latter category to a certain extent. Therefore, to promote "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", what needs to be done is to let everyone regain their former respect for the Great Sage.
Memory makes Journey to the West popular again.
However, it is difficult to arouse people's interest by simply hyping the original work, so we must do the opposite and let everyone discuss the other side of the comedy derived from "Journey to the West"!
