Chapter 627: Its time for our children to watch our own hero movies
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" relied on its overwhelming early publicity and good reputation to dominate the box office.
It became the only movie during the Spring Festival this year to have a box office of over 200 million on its first day.
No way, there are too many movies.
The film schedule is naturally spread out!
The box office on New Year's Day totaled more than 800 million Chinese dollars.
However, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King" has a box office share of over 35% with 21% of the film schedule.
The first-day box office of 270 million still blinded a lot of people's eyes.
Because many people have watched "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage". From a common sense point of view, this movie can indeed be said to be pretty good. At that time, it seemed that it should not have such high explosive power.
But the result was far beyond everyone's expectations.
There is only one reason. "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" can be said to be truly full of emotions.
Don’t think that emotional marketing is easy.
If a set of emotional marketing and promotions were really casual, it would be able to harvest a lot of box office, and then so many movies would not fail and sink into the sand.
Zhou Qingquan, who has been promoted to deputy editor of "Movie Weekly", wrote a long review specifically for "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King" on the theme of "sentiment".
bidige
"The Great Sage will never die, and Journey to the West will not be forgotten!"
This is the title of Zhou Qingquan’s film review, which is full of emotions!
“I don’t know since when, it seems that there has been a huge gap between our generation and our children’s generation.
When we see our children watching the imported foreign superheroes with relish, I wonder if your hearts are hurt? At least I am really deeply hurt.
How sad it is when the heroes our children have admired since childhood have become foreign imports.
Have we ever expected that national comics should be self-reliant, and domestic animated films should be self-reliant!
At least let my son be able to see his father's works when he is old enough to watch cartoons. In this way, at least when our children talk about their superheroes, we may be able to interject a few words and talk about our common idols.

Quoting a short poem from "The Legend of Wukong" directed by Li Yi: I want to hear the cry of the sky, I want to hear the begging of God. I know that the sky will be angry, but do you know that the sky can also tremble? The sky
When I was shaken, I laughed loudly, waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, and beat him to the ground. Ten thousand years from now, you will all remember my name, the Monkey King, the Monkey King!
In the movie, Jiang Liu'er always calls Wukong the Great Sage. At the beginning of the story, Jiang Liu'er, who grew up with his master, sneaks into the shadow puppet troupe and makes a random sentence: The Great Sage will not die. But he may not have thought that in the end
It was he who died.
At the beginning, Sun Wukong fought against millions of heavenly soldiers and generals, and took turns fighting the four heavenly kings, Nezha and Erlang Shen, making the wind and moon turn around and swallowing mountains and rivers with anger. This is an eternal chapter in "Havoc in Heaven". We will also do it from eternity to this day.
I wonder whether such a myth really happened in a distant era, otherwise how could it be so unforgettable.
Great Sage, the reason why the Great Sage is a Great Sage is to bear the name of Qitian and do things that bear the burden of Heaven. Whatever Heaven wants to accept me, I will resist; whatever Buddha wants to suppress me, I will not recognize it. Once I fall to heaven and earth
, suffered from the shackles of those five hundred years, and his arrogance, conceitedness, and stubbornness have not diminished at all. Therefore, the short poem about Jin Hezai mentioned at the beginning is undoubtedly the most realistic portrayal of the "Monkey King".
Childhood memories are the most unforgettable. After many years of looking for many other moments, these many beautiful things that have been accumulated on the screen can be called "roots". The Sun Dasheng in our impression is the naughty and eccentric person with golden eyes in Wu Cheng'en's works.
Monsters are brilliant characters who hate evil as much as they hate it. Unfortunately, the things we once loved are no longer appropriate in today's children's circle.
I think this is probably one of the reasons why we have such a deep obsession with the Great Sage and why we are so eager for the Return of the Great Sage?
The omnipotent Monkey King of the past no longer seems suitable for the new era, so thank you "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King" for bringing us the Monkey King of the Monkey King of the new era. This is another Monkey King that we don't know.
, you can say that he once existed, or you can say that he was created out of thin air. The movie has given Sun Wukong new magic power in the context of today's waning influence of Journey to the West, just like him who died in "The Legend of Wukong", causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace and fighting everywhere.
The sky is a whim, but not a whim. He represents the absolutely powerful force of freedom, dares to look down upon everything, and smiles proudly at the common people. But he persists in the physical and mental pain "given" by fate, just like you and me in ordinary life.
The little things you care about, the things you will never give up no matter what.
"The Return of the Great Sage" combines the thoughts and beliefs represented by Wukong, a mortal who has lost his power, with the humble life of ordinary people like you and me, making us who are becoming increasingly numb suddenly realize that we have lived before. We are still alive now.
Even as powerful as the Great Sage, he will cry for a child who has formed a bond. Just like each of us, even as humble as you and me, we will wait for something that is far away. When the Great Sage finally awakens, everything in the world
Trembling at it, ghosts wept and gods were frightened. In an instant, dark red flew ninety thousand miles away, and the golden hoop pointed to the sky for who was angry.
The last fight scene was quite exciting, done in one go, and the camera switching was so fast and smooth that people were so sweaty that they didn't dare to let go. The audience was shocked and sighed. Maybe everyone saw what they looked like at this time.
What has disappeared or what is still expected.
Sun Wukong's golden cudgel kept waving at the chaos, every move was deadly, and my heart kept beating. How many years has the great sage lived, how many winds and rains have he seen, and yet he still wants to make this last fight, even the seal of the Buddha is gone?
To be able to suppress it. What kind of soul-stirring strength and anger is needed to say, "I have been to this world, I have fought hard, I have loved deeply, and I don't care about the outcome."
I think that although many of us shout "Hollywood superheroes" all day long, no matter how much we like them, they are only from other people's families. Sun Wukong and Monkey King are our own heroes!
It is precisely these many moments that allowed the film creators to resonate with the movie audience, and a good movie was born. So, our superhero, the Monkey King, announced his return, making the Journey to the West in our memories
The picture of the memory is clear again, allowing the great sage in each of us to reawaken!
How could we forget Journey to the West? How could we forget the Great Sage?
I hope that one day, our Great Sage, our Erlangshen, our Nezha, and those superheroes who belong to our own family who have accompanied us in our growth, can return like the Great Sage!"
