The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 463: If you want to advance, you must suppress it first
In "The Return of the Great Sage", Hun Dun is set as the great demon king in the Five Elements Mountain. He transforms himself into a scholar and captures young boys and girls to make elixirs in an attempt to achieve immortality.

Before this, Chaos had been watching the protagonists and they didn't take any action. In fact, he was just observing the situation of Sun Wukong.

If Sun Wukong was still the Monkey King who caused havoc in Heaven 500 years ago, Chaos would never have come to provoke them.

Now that it was confirmed that Sun Wukong's magic power was sealed, Hun Dun naturally had no scruples and attacked without hesitation.

The result was as expected. As soon as Chaos appeared, he destroyed the boat and easily captured the girl.

Chaos took a look at the Monkey King doll in the girl's hand and threw it to the ground. A feminine and evil voiceover sounded: "What Monkey King? He is just a useless monkey."

After hearing Hun Dun's words, Sun Wukong naturally refused to be humiliated and fought back, but he was no match for Hun Dun in a single move.

The villain dressed as a scholar stepped on the monkey's head and said contemptuously: "Sun Wukong, you have come to this day too?"

After saying that, Chaos burst into laughter.

This plot is so depressing to watch. The Monkey King was stepped on the head by a monster, and the girl was abducted by chaos and faced danger.

Luo Yi frowned, he knew that Luo Ming was using the tactic of first criticizing and then praising. As a film student, Luo Yi felt that there was nothing wrong with this plot. After all, the plot of a movie needs ups and downs.

But the foreshadowing has already been laid for so long, and the movie is about to end, isn’t it inappropriate to lay the groundwork again?

Luo Yi remembers a professor once saying that film is inherently a simple and bright art form, and what the audience needs is the quick accumulation and release of emotions.

"The Return of the Great Sage" clearly does not conform to what the professor said at the moment.

It is true that you should first suppress something before you praise it, but "The Return of the Great Sage" suppressed it too much, and it will become increasingly difficult for the audience to be satisfied later on.

It’s just like when you read online novels, the male protagonist is abused in various ways, or the people around him suffer all kinds of messy things. In short, the hatred value is already full.

At this time, readers must be looking forward to the protagonist's revenge, which is commonly known as the "happy" plot.

But if this part is not well written, or not exciting enough, the readers will be upset! They will read too much and the book may fail.

The same goes for movies. If the ending is not satisfying, then "The Return of the Great Sage" would be a bad ending.

What’s the point if I can’t amaze the audience when my magic power is restored?

Moreover, although the theme of Journey to the West has its own traffic, the Monkey King is an absolutely well-known figure to the Chinese people.

But this also means that everyone knows about Sun Wukong's various abilities, including the seventy-two transformations, the somersault cloud, the flaming eyes, the indestructible diamond, and the Ruyi golden cudgel. Everyone knows what they should know.

Therefore, it will be difficult to surprise the audience, mainly because there are no surprises.

In addition, Luo Yi has discovered that in order to catch the audience's attention, "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" set up a classic plot of havoc in heaven at the beginning.

In other words, the Monkey King's abilities have already been demonstrated at the beginning of the film, and if they are repeated exactly the same at the end, the audience will just find it boring.

Thinking of this, Luo Yi couldn't help but turn his head and look at his brother. He looked very calm.

Luo Yi frowned and thought: "Is he really calm or is he just pretending? There is a high chance that this movie will have a bad ending!"

While Luo Yi was daydreaming, the plot of the movie had reached a turning point.

Jiang Liuer, who had finally climbed ashore from the water, chased after Sun Wukong, who had just been stepped on by Hun Dun and was now in a state of dismay.

He said to Sun Wukong anxiously, "Great Sage, let's go and save the silly girl!"

"I can't control it." Sun Wukong lowered his head, his tone full of loneliness.

At this moment, Sun Wukong also realized that he was no longer the Monkey King. Now he had no strength and could not defeat Chaos, let alone save the silly girl.

But Jiang Liu'er obviously refused to give up. He pulled Sun Wukong and shouted, "Great Sage! Great Sage!"

Sun Wukong was a little angry and turned around and shouted angrily: "I said I can't control it! I can't control that child."

After saying this, Sun Wukong closed his eyes. He was trying to escape, wanting to out of sight and out of mind.

The old pig came over and said, "Monkey, calm down."

"Don't call me a monkey! Just shut up you stupid pig!"

Jiang Liu'er still didn't give up, with the demeanor of a future Tang Monk. He cried and said, "But, but now only you can save her."

Sun Wukong remained unmoved.

Jiang Liuer cried and ran away, saying, "I'll go save him!"

The old pig looked at his receding back and reminded: "Monkey, the little master ran away."

After Jiang Liuer ran away, he heard the conversation of the mountain monster, began to clarify his destination, and knew where the silly girl was imprisoned.

And Sun Wukong didn't really want to stand by and watch Jiang Liuer die. After Jiang Liuer ran away, he smashed the bracelet on his hand like a madman, trying to destroy the seal.

As a result, the seal was not broken, but he was attacked by the seal and fell into the water.

The monkey, with his spirit broken and his body injured, was disheartened and allowed himself to continue to fall in the water. As he continued to fall, Sun Wukong seemed to hear hallucinations.

He heard Jiang Liuer calling him to save the silly girl and heard the sound of children crying.

Sun Wukong covered his ears and kept muttering: "I can't control it, I can't control it, I can't control it!"

But these voices were not really someone shouting in his ears. How could he ignore them by covering his ears?

"Great Sage! Great Sage!" Jiang Liuer's voice became clearer and clearer. Sun Wukong seemed to see the scene where Jiang Liuer gave the doll of the Monkey King to the little girl.

At that time, Jiang Liuer said to the little girl, "Look, I have a Monkey King here. Can I give it to you? With him protecting you, you don't have to be afraid of anything!"

On the shore, the old pig yelled at the top of his voice: "Monkey! Monkey! Are you still alive? Say something!

I know you are unhappy, but you... Oh! "Here the old pig paused, sighed, and then added: "Don't forget, you are the Monkey King."

The monkey in the water slowly put down his hands that were covering his ears. He recalled the scene when he first met Jiang Liuer.

At that time, Jiang Liuer saw him dancing with excitement, his expression full of excitement and admiration as he said, "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, has a body like black iron, flaming eyes, immortality, and seventy-two transformations! One somersault cloud can travel 108,000 miles."

Jiang Liuer's words made Sun Wukong involuntarily recall the scene when he made a big fuss in Heaven and was invincible.

That defiant figure appeared again, and the red cloak was fluttering!

Sun Wukong's eyes were no longer confused. He sat up from the water and called out to the old pig who had already walked away. With just one sentence, the whole audience in the theater was boiling.

The camera was focused on Sun Wukong's mouth, and his expression returned to the proud and unruly look he had when facing 10 heavenly soldiers and generals at the beginning: "Old Pig, follow me!"

"Dad, is the Monkey King's power coming back?"

"should be."

"He can rescue the silly girl!"

"Of course he can, he is the Monkey King!"

Similar conversations took place in many places in the theater.

At this moment, not only the children, but also their parents are looking forward to Sun Wukong recovering his magic power and defeating Chaos.

The next second, the scene switched to Chaos's side.

Chaos, who defeated Sun Wukong, floated in the air, singing a little tune.

He was singing Peking Opera, but the dubbing in this section was weird, which amplified the feminine and evil feeling of Chaos many times, making people feel their hair stand on end.

Jiang Liuer sneaked in alone and wanted to rescue the silly girl, but he was just a mortal, how could he fight against these monsters?
Just when Jiang Liuer was about to get into danger, the classic routine in film and television works appeared, and Sun Wukong and Pig came riding on the white dragon!

The children in the cinema cheered.

But soon, the children discovered that Sun Wukong still couldn't defeat Hun Dun.

In the battle with Hun Dun, although the monkey knocked off Hun Dun's crown, that was all. How could Sun Wukong, whose magic power was sealed, be a match for Hun Dun?
Hun Dun kicked the monkey down again, and just as he was about to jump over the monkey, the monkey grabbed his ankle.

"I said, don't get close to them!" Sun Wukong jumped up and knocked Hun Dun away.

After watching this fighting scene, Luo Yi felt that Sun Wukong was about to recover his magic power.

Because this interruption is different from the previous time when Sun Wukong was simply abused by Chaos. Overall, Sun Wukong and Chaos have a back-and-forth relationship. Although Sun Wukong is at a disadvantage, he is not always being beaten.

This is also a very important technique in movies, playing a role of progressive development.

If Sun Wukong can recover his magic power while the seal is broken during the fight, it would be a good way to deal with it.

However, Luo Yi soon discovered that he was wrong again. The fight scene did not continue, but was interrupted after Chaos revealed his true form and turned into a faceless, fleshy, worm-like monster.

The stone pillar that was broken when Chaos transformed crushed Sun Wukong.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was pinned down by the stone pillar, Jiang Liuer took the initiative to rush out to attract Hun Dun's attention, leading it away and giving Sun Wukong time to escape.

After Sun Wukong broke free from the stone pillar, he ran desperately towards Jiang Liuer.

This scene where Sun Wukong is running and shouting at the top of his lungs is very infectious.

"Jiang Liu'er! Jiang Liu'er! Fool! Fool! Jiang Liu'er!" These shouts were all roars, which really tested the voice acting skills of the voice actor, as he had to convey Sun Wukong's eagerness without breaking the voice into a full-blown yell.

The audience was naturally shocked by such infectious dubbing and stared at the screen intently.

On the screen, Hun Dun raised his giant claws and slapped down. The monkey jumped off the cliff without caring about his life, trying to catch Jiang Liuer, but it was still a step too late.

For a moment, the entire theater was silent.
