The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 720 A Chinese Odyssey is scheduled to be released and the tour has begun!
Tian Ming put down his phone, his face turned pale.

It is obvious who Xu Ye was scolding when he released this song at this time.

"It's great that you can write songs!" Tian Ming cursed in his heart.

What he didn't know was that if Xu Ye hadn't been busy with other things, he could not only write a song, but also make a movie to curse.

Cultured people have cultured methods!

Soon, netizens finished listening to "Inverted Song".

"Dean, you really can do it. You curse very badly, but without using any curse words!"

"This song is really refreshing. I've been fed up with this group of people for a long time. Fortunately, the dean can serve as my mouthpiece!"

"There was "Rakshasa Sea City" before and "Inverted Song" after. Is there any chance that the Golden Dragon Award will follow in the footsteps of the Huayin Award?"

"It doesn't matter. The dean is no longer involved in the Golden Dragon Award selection anyway, so there's no need to pay attention to this award in the future."

Today, many people were broken down after listening to this song.

The judges of the Golden Dragon Awards were even more angry.

With the strong support of netizens, "Inverted Song" became a hot search.

More and more people have joined the action of analyzing the lyrics to explain to other netizens what is going on.

The news of the Golden Dragon Award cake-sharing spread more and more widely, and became more and more serious. More and more people who were just watching the show figured out what had happened.

Sometimes doing something else may not make the news spread so widely, but writing a song is different.

The Golden Dragon Award has a bad reputation!

At least it has been rotten in recent times!
Two or three years later, when the Golden Dragon Awards are held again, people will still bring up this matter.

What's more, with Xu Ye's personality, he would bring it up even if others didn't mention it.

Netizens can all imagine that when the Golden Dragon Awards are held in the future, Xu Ye will not have to do anything else but to repost the Weibo post "Inverted Song".

As soon as the song came out, everyone knew what was going on.

At that time, the credibility of the Golden Dragon Award will further decline until the award finally comes to an end.

The most important thing is that Xu Ye no longer participates in the Golden Dragon Award selection.

If Xu Ye produces good works recognized by the audience in the future, but does not participate in the Golden Dragon Awards, then this award will be questionable no matter who it is given to.

If it were someone else, they might not have this ability.

But the person they met was Xu Ye, a man with cheats.

As the Golden Dragon Award issue continued to ferment, another film industry award, the Wanhua Award, was also mentioned by the audience.

The Wanhua Award is held at a different time from the Golden Dragon Award and will be held one or two months after the Golden Dragon Award.

After this incident, a group of people from the Wanhua Award also held a meeting.

There is also natural competition among the major awards. It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good opportunity and win the Golden Dragon Award.

Wanhua Award directly posted a message on its official Weibo account.

"Promote film art and lead the trend of innovation; select films fairly and transparently, and pay equal attention to quality and benefits; promote cultural exchanges and share the feast of light and shadow; convey positive values ​​and build a brilliant film industry."

This statement about the Wanhua Awards was released, and the time for the Wanhua Awards was subsequently announced.

Netizens don’t care. There are too many people in the entertainment industry who say one thing and do another. The key point still lies in what the Wanhua Awards has done and whether the final award can convince the public.

Xu Ye also received an invitation letter from the Wanhua Award. The Wanhua Award did a very good job this time.

Xu Ye himself had three films nominated, so the Wanhua Awards prepared three invitation letters.

Hu Jinping also received an invitation thanks to his role in "Charlotte's Troubles".

The attitude of Wanhua Award is also very kind.

Xu Ye's attitude towards the Wanhua Award is quite good.

So far, there hasn’t been any trouble with this award, and the awards given out are convincing enough.

Xu Ye also accepted the invitation of the Wanhua Awards. As for the participating actors, those who had time also expressed that they would go together when the time came.

I’m afraid that by then, the actors under Xu Ye alone will occupy a large area.

The filming of "Mountains and Seas" is also progressing smoothly.

Soon, another month passed.

The production of "A Chinese Odyssey" is completed!
The final total length, including the opening and ending credits, reached two hours and fifty-nine minutes, just under three hours.

Once the film is completed, it is sent directly for review.

In the review department, it was still Cao Na who reviewed Xu Ye’s movies.

The review department did not make any response to Xu Ye’s incident at the Golden Dragon Awards.

In fact, Xu Ye’s black fans have always reported Xu Ye to the review department.

The Audit Department is not blind, Xu Ye has not done anything illegal, and the reason for your report is not in accordance with the rules.

The Review Department did not make any statement on this matter, but its attitude was very clear, which was to let the Golden Dragon Award handle it on its own.

There are many voices within the review department regarding the award rectification, but this is not Cao Na's business.

After seeing the information about "A Chinese Odyssey", her first reaction was that Xu Ye was crazy!

He actually wants to play the Monkey King!

You know, Sun Wukong has a special status in the hearts of Chinese people.

This is a heroic character known to everyone, young or old, regardless of gender.

Since the birth of "Journey to the West", countless works related to Sun Wukong have emerged in the entertainment industry.

This monkey is not only a character in mythology, but also carries the feelings of the Chinese people.

This is the monkey who made trouble in heaven!
This is different from playing the Monkey King in skits or short plays; this is a movie.

It is conceivable that the image of Sun Wukong will definitely be used for comparison by the audience. The risk of the movie is huge.

After reviewing the document, Cao Na opened the main film file.

The opening scene shows Guanyin Bodhisattva scolding Sun Wukong, while Tang Sanzang sits beside him.

"Sun Wukong, you beast, you promised the Buddha to escort your master Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain the scriptures, but you actually colluded with the Bull Demon King to eat your master. Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime?"

After hearing what Guanyin said, question marks popped up in Cao Na's mind.

My goodness, what an outrageous plot!
However, Cao Na had prepared in advance because the movie was called "A Chinese Odyssey".

According to Xu Ye's adaptation method in "Never Expected", this movie definitely has nothing to do with the original Journey to the West story.

Cao Na just read it slowly.

But she felt that this movie seemed not as good as Xu Ye’s previous movies.

In addition, the film introduces the concept of time travel, which increases the difficulty of understanding.

When Cao Na saw Fairy Zixia come out, put three moles on Zhizunbao's feet, and claim to be the Great Fairy Pansi, she was stunned.

"Supreme Treasure is Sun Wukong!"

The plot of the movie also became interesting.

After watching the show until the end, when Zhizunbao put on the golden hoop and defeated the Bull Demon King but was unable to save Fairy Zixia, Cao Na felt a little upset.

At the end of the movie, everything changed, and a monkey carrying a golden hoop walked away in the crowd.

"He looks like a dog!"

These words lingered in Cao Na's ears for a long time.

Compared with Xu Ye's "Kung Fu", this movie is indeed a bit different.

But Cao Na feels that this movie contains something else and is more like an art film.

Cao Na recalled the scenes in the movie. When she thought of the scene when Sun Wukong went to rescue Fairy Zixia and the golden hoop on his head began to tighten, a sentence came to her mind.

"I can't love you with the golden hoop on, and I can't save you with the golden hoop off."

Sometimes, life is just so helpless.

And in the movie, there are many interesting lines.

What surprised Cao Na most was Xiao Xu's performance in the movie.

"Xu Ye took such beautiful photos of his girlfriend."

In the end, "A Chinese Odyssey" passed the review smoothly.

The only problem with this movie is that it is too long. When I was talking to the theaters, they were a little surprised when they saw the length.

Generally speaking, the best length for a movie is two hours, as it would be uncomfortable for audiences to sit in the cinema for too long.

When the duration is longer, it also involves the number of screenings in the theater.

Other movies are one and a half hours long, but yours is three hours. So, once you show your movie, you can show other movies twice. This also means that the ticket price will be more expensive than a movie of one and a half hours.

On Earth, the box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" was not good when it was released, but this did not mean that the box office was very bad.

When "A Chinese Odyssey" was split into two films and released, Stephen Chow's box office expectation for the Hong Kong market was 30 to 40 million for each film. The final result in Hong Kong was just over 20 million for each film, which did not meet expectations.

Even so, this box office still ranks among the top ten of the year.

The film performed very poorly in mainland China until after 1997, when it began to circulate in universities and quickly became popular.

The success of a film also needs to take into account the factors of the times.

Xu Ye doesn't care what the final box office will be, it will definitely not be able to compare with the high box office of "Kung Fu".

But in Xu Ye's opinion, filming "A Chinese Odyssey" is a meaningful thing.

After reaching an agreement with the theater chain, the film was scheduled to be released on May 1st.

The promotion and marketing work of the film has also officially started.

This is a big studio that directly announced: "The fourth film of the five-year plan, A Chinese Odyssey, is scheduled to be released on May 1st!"

Subsequently, the promotional posters of the movie were also released.

Netizens were very surprised when they saw it.

Because the filming of "A Chinese Odyssey" was quite low-key, many people didn't even know that Xu Ye had actually made a movie.

"Why is the dean acting as a monkey?"

"Xiao Xu is also in the show. Oh my god, Xiao Xu is so beautiful! Xu Ye is such a bastard!"

"Those people I never expected are here too. My youth is back!"

"Zhou Dachen plays himself as Tang Monk!"

As one promotional poster after another was released, news that "A Chinese Odyssey" would be released gradually spread.

The promotion and marketing of a movie is very important, because if you don’t promote it, even if you are a top star, there will still be many people who don’t know that your movie is going to be released.

Everyone is very busy in real life. Even for a star of Xu Ye's level, normal people would not have nothing to do all day long and stare at your updates.

But this time, the summer movie directors all breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that Xu Ye's movie had been completed a long time ago, and they originally thought that Xu Ye would release the movie during the summer vacation, which would create fierce competition.

"It's weird. May is not far from the summer season. We can wait another two months. Why does it have to be released now?"

The directors were also confused.

Xu Ye is no longer a newcomer. He has strong box office appeal and there is no need for him to be so timid.

A few days later, this big studio released another explosive news.

"Xu Ye's national tour will start in May. The name of the tour is Love You for Ten Thousand Years!"
