Chapter 616: Are you the reinforcements invited by the monkey?
As we all know, for many movies, especially "hero" movies, posters usually show the domineering side of the hero, which is the scene with the most visual impact.
For example, in "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", either the anger turns into a hunting cloak and flutters in the wind, or the Ruyi golden cudgel is waved with radiant light, or the artist is alone against the heavenly soldiers and generals. It can be said that most of the posters are three figures.
A 160-degree view of the majestic majesty of the Great Sage!
But Li Yi’s poster does the opposite!
On the poster, it is not the familiar Monkey King, the invincible monkey, or the rebellious and victorious Buddha who fights against heaven and earth.
But...
The monkey was pinned to the ground by a monster hand!
On the other side is a little monk carrying a bamboo basket with a little girl sitting inside.
"Are you the reinforcements invited by the monkey?"
Yes, those are the words attached to the poster.
"Fuck! What the hell is this?"
"Brother Monkey was suppressed? Are you kidding me?"
"When the Great Sage returns, is this how he returns?"
"This is not the Great Sage I want!"
For countless movie fans and netizens, it can be said that the scene on this poster has subverted their impression of the Great Sage Sun Wukong more than "The Legend of Wukong".
Therefore, it immediately attracted countless complaints!
"Director Dog, this is too outrageous. My great sage cannot be so weak!"
"Yes, how could the Great Sage be bullied by monsters?"
"Even if you are bullied, you can't be so aggrieved, right?"
"What the hell is this? Is this called the Return of the Great Sage?"
It was a moment of excitement. Yes, for fans of Journey to the West, for those who have watched Journey to the West, whether it is in writing or in film and television works, they have never seen it. The Zhan Wu in their minds.
The invincible Monkey King was suppressed in such a humiliating way.
This scene can be said to be not only the peak, but also a kind of destruction, shattering the image of the great sage in their minds.
Others were abused, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, Xiao Bailong, and even Tang Seng, they were abused, everyone was used to it, but this was the Great Sage, how could he be so aggrieved and pinned to the ground by a monster with one hand?
Even the great sage who was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain by Tathagata Buddha never felt so aggrieved!
This is not my great sage!
This is everyone's first feeling when they see this poster.
I even feel offended!
"Although I guessed early on that "The Legend of Monkey King" was created to promote a new movie, this poster is really unacceptable!"
"That's right, the dog director is such a dog. How could the great sage be suppressed by a monster? And still be so humiliated?"
"I can't accept it. This is not my Great Sage. My Great Sage cannot be so weak!"
At the same time, a netizen suddenly posted a message: "Damn it, we have all been tricked by the dog director!"
"Upstairs, what does it mean to be tricked by a dog director?"
"Look at the slogan on the poster! Are you the rescuers invited by the monkey?"
"What's the problem?"
"The problem is huge. What's your first reaction when you see this poster? Look at all the comments and the excitement among so many people. Don't you have any idea?"
"Damn it, it's really true! We are all the reinforcements invited by the monkey!"
"Who says it's not the case? This dog director is really good at playing tricks!"
"We've all been fooled!"
Not to mention, as soon as this argument came out, many netizens looked like they suddenly realized it.
is not that right?
Although it is just a poster, although the monkey on the poster is not said to be the Monkey King, everyone's first reaction is that it is.
As a result, when they saw the monkey being held down by a monster, countless netizens couldn't sit still and denounced it one after another.
At first, no one thought anything was wrong. Are you the reinforcements invited by the monkey?
At first, they thought they were talking to the little monk and the little girl, but at this moment, they suddenly realized that they were specifically talking to us when they co-authored this sentence.
And the fact is that all netizens responded to the slogan on this poster with practical actions.
Poster: "Are you the rescuers invited by the monkey?"
Netizen: “Yes, we all are!”
Although I didn’t say so, the fact that so many people are dissatisfied with the humiliation of the Monkey King being portrayed as someone who can be pressed on the head by monsters shows that netizens are indeed the reinforcements invited by monkeys!
And why is this happening?
If there was no Monkey King, if there was no image of Monkey King in everyone's mind, then it would just be a monkey suppressed by monsters, and naturally there would not be such a big reaction.
Therefore, in a sense, this is also a desire to "please let the Great Sage return"!
Li Yi also didn't expect that a poster and one sentence could actually allow netizens to interpret so many things on their own.
But if you think about it carefully, it really makes sense.
Therefore, everyone's thoughts began to change from dissatisfaction with the Monkey King being pinned to the ground by monsters to curiosity about what story this movie tells?
"Above Heaven"
People are always contradictory. For example, everyone is familiar with the plot of "Journey to the West". There are also many people who think that some of the plots in "Journey to the West" are not good or unreasonable.
.
But when you actually create a fan, these people may find fault again.
It's because of first impression and preconception.
The public must have this kind of emotional ambivalence towards movie adaptations!
However, soon, a new poster was released.
This time the familiar "Monkey King" Sun Wukong is back.
He holds a golden hoop in his hand, wears chain-locked golden armor, wears a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, walks on lotus root silk, and stands alone against the heavenly soldiers and generals!
It seems like the first poster and the responses from netizens have come to fruition.
You see, you are not satisfied with the Great Sage being suppressed, so after the Great Sage invited you reinforcements, he came back!
The Great Sage is back!
"Damn it, no one else can make a fool out of their posters!"
"But this wave of publicity is really awesome!"
"Although I am still unhappy that the Great Sage was suppressed by monsters, this wave of posters is indeed a thief!"
“I suddenly became curious about this movie!”
"Yes, the Great Sage has returned. Why was the Great Sage suppressed? What happened?"
"Is that little monk Tang Monk?"
"Are the reinforcements invited by the monkey a young monk and a young girl?"
In fact, if before releasing "The Legend of Wukong", Li Yi used two Weibo posts to attract the attention of many netizens, then this time it is actually the same as before.
However, the difference is that this time, the first poster makes use of the public's usual impression of the Great Sage, creating a huge emotional contrast that makes people feel unacceptable at the first moment!
And the sentence "Are you the reinforcements invited by the monkeys?"
But on the contrary, everyone's complaints and dissatisfaction became a real "rescue"!
So the second poster came out. The Great Sage you wanted, the Great Sage you wanted to fight against heaven and earth, is back!
Li Yi's second step of publicity has been prepared enough, so the most critical part of the second step has officially started.
