Chapter 364 This is the Monkey King, the Return of the Great Sage
On July 15th, the much-anticipated release date of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" finally arrived.
The scene is similar to that of "Legend of the Demon King in the Divine Capital". Although the publicity of "The Return of the Great Sage" is not as big as that of "Legend of the Demon King", Su Yang's appeal is terrifying.
The box office success of "Big Shot" is there, and everyone is familiar with Director Su Yang's ability. In addition, "The Legend of Wukong" is a popular IP, and it is also a book written by Su Yang himself.
Book fans are looking forward to the fact that he adapted the book he wrote himself.
"The Monkey King: Return of the Great Sage" is released today, don't forget to go and support it! I'll sing a song for everyone!"
In the morning, Su Yang updated his Weibo again, and also updated a video. This attracted many fans who had not yet started watching the movie to click on it.
The background of the MV is the trailer of "The Return of the Great Sage", and the song sung is also very familiar to everyone, the song "Wukong". However, they soon discovered that Su Yang's voice and singing style were completely different from the first version of "Wukong".
This version of "Wukong" is completely different from the previous one. The singing style and the feeling have changed. In the previous song, it was a monkey who refused to accept his fate, with a hint of repression and unwillingness.
But now, there is no repression at all, this is too heroic!
"Fuck, that sounds good. This isn't Sun Wukong, this is Fighting Buddha..."
"It feels different, but I still like the first version. But this version is also very nice..."
"Hahaha, this feels like I'm about to beat the Buddha to death..."
"Call out to the Buddha, Buddha: This humble monk is here, haha..."
"It sounds good, just for this song, maybe I'll watch..."
"Not enough, not enough. Sing one more original song and I'll go see it. I promise..."
"Yes, sing another new song, no matter what style, buy tickets and support immediately..."
"When they release an album, they release a new album. I'll watch it every day. I'll watch it for a month..."
"Yes, yes, yes, release an album, there are a few songs in it, I will play them a few times..."
Soon, the comments section suddenly changed. Seeing this comment section, Su Yang couldn't help but sigh, these fans are really like wolf-like women, who can never be satisfied.
One minute he was fed, and the next minute he squinted his eyes and yelled: Xiao Yangyang, one more time!
Su Yang knew what these people were like. But sometimes he had to satisfy them. They were the ones who provided food and clothing. Only when they were well fed could he earn tips.
But we can't satisfy them yet; we need to whet their appetites. Things that come too easily are often not cherished. Even the girls along the Qinhuai River in ancient times knew how to wait for the right price. So, we shouldn't be too careless with our own songs.
"I have a new song. If it does well at the box office, I'll sing it for you..."
Soon, Su Yang posted another Weibo. Seeing this Weibo, fans became excited again.
"How much box office money will be used to sing"
"How about a song with a box office of 100 million?"
"Fuck, 100 million is too much, how about 50 million?"
"Isn't ten million enough?"
"Look at what you said, five million is not enough?"
"I think one million per song will be enough..."
"I also support one million per song..."
"One hundred thousand, sir, give me a discount..."
Such a comment made Su Yang look helpless again. He turned off his phone and simply ignored it. He couldn't indulge her. What was the point of a song earning 100 million at the box office? If the box office was 1 billion, wouldn't he have to make ten songs?
Damn, ten songs alone could make a new album. A new album wouldn't make more money than this movie.
Su Yang's Weibo post this morning was also a promotion for "The Monkey King: Hero is Back." Even if he hadn't posted on Weibo, fans who needed to buy tickets would have already done so.
Cinemas haven't allocated a large number of screenings for "The Monkey King: Hero is Back." Its first-day screenings accounted for only 37.6%. Meanwhile, despite a decline in box office results, "The Legend of the Demon King in the Capital of Gods" still holds a 32.8% share of today's screenings. Clearly, the financial influence behind this film is considerable.
However, the cinema chain is giving this film one last chance. If "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" has a good attendance rate today but a low box office and reputation, "The Legend of the Demon King in the Capital of Gods" will be directly put into the cold palace tomorrow.
At 8:20 in the morning, the first show of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" officially began.
Many fans sat in the cinema, eating snacks and watching the movie.
“The image quality is good…”
When the movie started, many anime fans were impressed by the excellent picture quality, which was definitely the standard of Hollywood animation. However, China has made great progress in special effects technology in recent years, and excellent picture quality can only be regarded as standard.
The story officially began, and soon everyone was drawn in. As they watched, many people couldn't help but smile.
Fun, warm, funny...
After the talkative Jiang Liu, the somewhat melancholic and decadent Sun Wukong is a refreshing change of pace. In many people's minds, Sun Wukong is just a rebellious monkey. However, in this animation, he successfully creates a new image.
Jiang Liuer: It's so far, I might not be able to reach it in my whole life. Wukong: As long as your dream is firm enough and your ideal is ambitious enough, you will definitely reach it.
"I've been to this world, I've fought hard, and I've loved it deeply. I don't care about the outcome!"
"Jiang Liu'er: After I send that silly girl home, I will recite the sutras carefully, because the Great Sage said that Tathagata Buddha will hear it, and then I can ask the Buddha to restore the Great Sage's magical powers."
"We all need a hero to look up to, to give us hope, to inspire us. We grow up listening to stories of his legends, his adventures, his heroic deeds. What makes a hero worthy of the title is not that he helps others when he has the power, but that he has the courage to stand up to evil even when he has no power."
"Old Tathagata, you have trapped me for five hundred years. Isn't that enough? Don't forget, I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"
Every classic line made many people who watched this animation laugh uncontrollably.
That's the flavor, a bit like "Wukong Biography." Even fans of the book laughed, because although the story doesn't really have much to do with the original, this movie captures the essence of "Wukong Biography."
What is the essence? Isn't it Sun Wukong's unyielding spirit?
There is touchingness in the warmth, and the Monkey King also feels helpless.
Unconsciously, the plot entered its finale. When Sun Wukong wore golden armor and transformed into the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, many viewers could not help but wave their fists.
The Monkey King is back, awesome!
Emotions, unconsciously, this movie has already well controlled the audience's emotions, joy, warmth, sadness, depression, and outbursts. It was not until the ending song of the movie played that everyone realized that the movie was over. In the cinema, many audiences couldn't help but smile. This movie ticket was worth it!
