Coquettish Rebirth

The preview screening started. In addition to a series of crowds of about [-] people including men, women, seniors, and students, there were about [-] film managers from theaters watching with Jia Hongjian and the others in the back row.After the screening of the film started, Jia Hongjian didn't pay much attention to the audience's reaction, but was more interested in watching the reactions of the film managers.When the logo of DreamWorks first appeared in the film, the group of managers who watched the film were really absent-minded. Some people vibrated their mobile phones again, some took a stick of chewing gum and ate it, and asked the colleagues around if they wanted to eat it.Seeing this, Jia Hongjian actually understood quite well. If his daily job was to watch movies, then he would not be too excited when he saw the logo of the manufacturer's titles-he watched too much!

When the opening subtitles passed, when the horse thieves began to appear on the top of the mountain, when the horse thieves began to charge in small steps, and then the camera turned to the businessman and Tang Seng, Jia Hongjian found that these film managers were paying attention. The strength is concentrated a little, but it is not completely concentrated, and it is still a bit out of the state of judging outside the story.But at this time, the film managers were nodding to each other. It seemed that they were quite optimistic about the plot that Jia Hongjian and the others had designed in the beginning of this film.It seems that they didn't give a 5-minute narration of the background of the main character like other movies when they first came up with this kind of movie, but they just came to play directly and listened to praise.

Next, the horse thieves rushed into the crowd of merchants and began a merciless killing.In the plot of the killing, there is no blood spraying.Seeing that the saber hit the man's neck, the man just turned around and fell to the ground under the light of the flickering bonfire.This is also designed by Jia Hongjian and the others to obtain a lower rating as much as possible. After all, it is already a bit violent. If blood spraying is added, the age group rated as suitable for viewing will be further improved. !It might have been pg13. Parents instructed children under the age of 13 to watch it, which meant that there were some scenes of violence.But if it goes too far and becomes R-rated, it may become that young people under the age of 17 must be accompanied by their parents to watch it. How much the market will be reduced all of a sudden!

soon.The horse thieves rushed to Tang Seng.Then Monkey King will appear!Looking at the camera, Sun Wukong was still eating peaches leisurely, and then jumped up and down on the ground at high speed like a Hulk, just like a superman who just learned to fly.Then in the blink of an eye.Just when the saber was about to cut Tang Seng's neck.Then Monkey King appeared on the stage at once.Three strikes, five divisions and two were used to violently break the table and get rid of the bad guys.The audience at the scene obviously appreciated this kind of plot, and as for the film managers, Jia Hongjian looked at their expressions and nodded one by one.It seems that they really think that this kind of shot is good or even excellent, but they are not as excited as the audience. They are still the same as before, a little bit separated, and they are not fully invested in chasing Jia Hongjian. Like in a movie.

In the following plot, it tells a story in reverse order, moving the time back to a few months ago, and begins to tell how Tang Seng embarked on such an adventurous journey.For these settings, the film managers seem to think that they are quite good, but maybe not yet to the point of excellence.Later, when they were besieged by wolves and started to save Monkey King, the film managers didn't even nod, they just sat there and watched indifferently.Perhaps these typical storytelling routines, they are already too familiar with it?A plot that can excite ordinary audiences, in their opinion, may not be as deep into the story as the audience, but it is also separated from some spiritual thoughts to judge the overall rhythm or whether the various effects are done well. ?

On the whole, these viewing managers were basically in such a calm state throughout the entire process that followed.When the rhythm of individual watching is well grasped, they will nod, but even if they nod, it feels as if they are not moved by the movie.Maybe each of them has watched thousands or even tens of thousands of movies, and they have long been immune to the narrative and pictures of movies. Can they find a feeling of deja vu in any movie they watch?Perhaps in their opinion, although this movie is good, even excellent, it is nothing more than an adventure story full of fantasy style, and it is just such a movie adapted from a mysterious oriental traditional story.The more he looked at them like this, the more Jia Hongjian wanted to see their expressions shocked by the ending of such a big reversal!

Gradually, as time goes by, the plot of this film develops more and more backwards.When it developed to Zhu Bajie running away, and then Sun Wukong was also driven away, when seeing that only Tang Seng and Drifting Monk were left from the former Buddhist scriptures quartet, the audience began to sigh a little.At this moment, the film managers are gradually getting serious. Maybe they are thinking that the plot has reached such a stage, why should the team be disbanded?Is this implying that the more successful the team is, the harder it is to maintain?They may be thinking about whether it is good to design the plot in this way?Will it affect the audience's viewing experience?Will it make the audience feel that the first half of the film is so cool, why did it start to abuse after seeing it?Will this affect the box office?What they don't know is that this is a desire to promote before suppressing!There is something that surprised them behind this, and Jia Hongjian will tell them casually now?

At this time, Jia Hongjian was already looking at the expressions of these film managers with the mentality of watching a movie. When Tang Seng and his apprentices arrived in Afghanistan, they looked at the Bamiyan Buddha and other magnificent Buddha statues. Looking at the strong Buddhist atmosphere in the area, the expressions of the group of film managers seemed less serious than before.Maybe they Americans know that there is a market for this kind of religious division in the United States?Maybe they feel that when the audience sees these plots, they will feel a kind of peace of mind?Would you feel that Tang Seng took all the risks, and in the end all the hardships came?

Soon, Tang Seng settled down in the local area, began to learn the local language, and began to learn the local scriptures.Then the screen went black, and it said that 17 years later, Tang Seng, who was obviously old, brought his apprentice back to the "customs" where he went abroad.Looking at the expressions of the film managers, Jia Hongjian found that they were indifferent again, as if they had already guessed what would happen in the future.Probably in their view, the next step is to have Tang Seng be received by the emperor, and then become famous all over the country?But who knew that the scene changed again at this time, the Tang monk was facing an official of the Tang Dynasty, as if he had ended a section of his narration.The group of watching managers were stunned for a moment, but they quickly realized that it seemed that they were thinking that this was a montage technique, something that visualized the content of such a story told by Tang Seng behind him. East?But they were still frowning slightly at this moment, and they began to notice that some people in the audience began to whisper to each other, wondering if they picked something wrong.But at this moment, something that attracted their attention even more happened!

I just heard the Tang Dynasty official in the picture say, "Do you want me to tell His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty the story of you traveling with an orangutan and a pig? They still protect you and cause you a lot of trouble ? That orangutan can fly? That pig can become handsome? Do you think His Highness will really believe this story?"

Whoa!After the character said this, the group of managers who watched the movie stared wide-eyed one by one!They probably didn't even think about why the characters in the movie started complaining!How come I started complaining about the fact that the scenes in the movie are unreal like people in real life!This, this... This is too strange, why is it set up like this?Just as they were discussing with the people around them in amazement, and some of them turned their heads to look at Jia Hongjian, Tang Seng sighed and began to tell the so-called second story—"You can also report to Jia Hongjian. There are no orangutans and pigs. When the horse thief came, I didn’t sit in place, but hid. After being discovered by the horse thief, I killed the horse thief before he shouted, and then hid It’s farther away. You can think that all the bad things the monkeys did during my trip were all done by me, and all the things that Zhu Bajie seduced good women were all fantasies in my mind..."

After the Tang Seng in the movie gradually spoke out the core of the second story with a serious expression, the audience on the scene widened their eyes and were dumbfounded!As for Jia Hongjian and the film managers next to them, they were all dumbfounded!They didn't seem to have thought that the whole movie would have a huge reversal here!They probably didn't expect the whole movie to have a so-called second story!It turns out that the story on the first floor is just a packaged "fantasy story"!

"I'd like to report both stories. Which one I want to believe depends on the choice of our Emperor..." the Tang Dynasty official said.At this time, Tang Seng closed his eyes, bowed with palms together, "and Amitabha...or according to Western religion, Amen..." Then the camera turned again, and Tang Seng was dressed so beautifully that he couldn't add it. The robe came in front of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The camera zoomed out and showed a panorama of the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Finally, there was a montage. The people running on the street passed on the story of Tang Seng's adventures with orangutans and pigs. And Tang Seng himself was wearing a cassock woven with gold thread, and with a gold Buddhist staff, he began to write the content he had learned from scriptures in a high tower...

Here it is, the end of the show.The audience at the scene stared dumbfounded at the darkened screen, and when the lights were turned on, the film managers also had the same expressions, as if they didn't realize what they had just seen. what the same!Looking at their expressions, Jia Hongjian smiled smugly, it was a smug smile!
