China Entertainment Times

Chapter 681

Amidst the bursts of hustle and bustle, time passed slowly, and the Spring Festival arrived in a blink of an eye.

Tomorrow will be the most important holiday in Huaguo. The parents with gray temples are waiting for the return of their children from afar.

The wife who stayed at home cooked a table of meals and waited for their father's reunion with their lovely children.

And countless wanderers who traveled far away also rushed home from all over the country.

Single aristocrats, regardless of gender, have to go on blind dates again and again under the pressure of seven aunts and eight aunts.

For most industries, the Spring Festival means rest.

However, for the entertainment industry, the Spring Festival is also one of the most important dates of the year.

Not only movies, but also TV dramas. During the winter and summer vacations, it is the time when the finale dramas of major companies start broadcasting every year.

That is to say, those popular variety shows are rarely broadcast during the Spring Festival. After all, every TV station has to prepare its own Spring Festival Gala, as well as the New Year's Eve party on January [-]st.

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is not as good as every year. Instead, the Spring Festival Gala and New Year's Eve Gala of major first-line satellite TVs are in full swing.

However, movies are the most important thing during the Spring Festival, and now half of the entertainment news is related to a few new movies.

An all-star lineup, "Havoc in Heaven" with an external investment of [-] million.

Known as "God of Gamblers 3", "Omen Wind and Cloud".

The big movie "Where Are We Going, Dad" exploded in ratings at the end of the year.

Word of mouth exploded, and hundreds of celebrities recommended "The Return of the Great Sage".

Four films compete for the Spring Festival file, each of which is the focus of current entertainment news and discussions on major related post bars and forums.

The four films will be released simultaneously on January 1, which was originally planned to be one day later, and the three films released on the first day of the Lunar New Year will all be moved up to the 30th of the Lunar New Year.

On the 29th day of the Chinese New Year, the premiere ceremony of four films was held in the capital. Filmmakers, celebrities, and reporters from major media all gathered in four cinemas.

"Havoc in Heaven" is the biggest movie in the Spring Festival, and the premiere scale is also the largest among the four movies.

Even "The Return of the Great Sage", which has already been fermented by word of mouth, cannot be compared.

After all, it is a super blockbuster movie with an investment of [-] million, with an unrivaled lineup. Produced by the special effects team of "Lord of the Rings", it is also the first Journey to the West movie.

However, Hantang Media is, after all, the largest private film and television company in China, and its subsidiaries have many artists, including dozens of first- and second-tier stars.

The group's important film premiere was also one of the few opportunities for its artists to get acquainted with Tang An, and basically everyone who had the time and qualifications was there.

Tang An greeted some high-level executives of major companies, and approached director Tian Xiaopeng.

"Director Tian, ​​congratulations, after so many years, this movie is finally going to meet the audience."

To be able to spend so many years making a film, among other things, the spirit alone is enough to make all filmmakers admire.

Looking around the world, there are very few directors who can do this.

This is not only a matter of money for the investor, but for the team and the director, spending so many years making a movie is also a big risk in itself.

It's okay if it succeeds, it soars into the sky.

Once you fail, years of hard work will be wasted, and if you can't make a movie in seven or eight years, then which investor will be willing to invest in you.

Moreover, the film and television industry is developing rapidly, and the stories from seven or eight years ago may be outdated.

Tian Xiaopeng said hastily, "Thank you Director Tang for your willingness to invest in "The Return of the Great Sage". If it weren't for you, we don't know how long it would take for this movie to be released, and we don't know if we can last until then."

He is also full of emotions. After so many years, he has found nearly a hundred investors and made this movie.

And the investment is still not enough, otherwise it would not have been seven years, and even if their team took orders from Hollywood, it would not take so long.

Tang An said with a smile, "I'm a filmmaker. Investing in excellent films is what I want to do. Director Tian has taken over many Hollywood animation film projects, so I feel very relieved about this film."

"We just accept some outsourcing projects." Tian Xiaopeng sighed.

If it weren't for the occasional Hollywood and Japanese animation projects while making "The Return of the Great Sage", his team probably wouldn't be able to persist.

Tang Andao, "That at least proves that there is not much difference between domestic technology and Hollywood. The response to screenings of "The Return of the Great Sage" is very good. This will be the beginning of the rise of domestic animation films."

Tian Xiaopeng smiled wryly, "The domestic animation industry is not short of talents and technology, nor is it short of investment, but the investors are too impatient."

Tang An nodded. Tian Xiaopeng was right. Investors in domestic film and television culture are all looking to make quick money. Huaguo movies generally recognize a one-year cycle. Unless it is a big director, movies are like this. The animation production cycle can be imagined, because speeding up the production cycle can only reduce the number of frames.

As a major animation country in the world, many well-known animations in Japan are made domestically. Not only the simple parts such as coloring, background, and animation are produced by OEMs, but also many mid-term links such as storyboarding, 3D, and modeling are also handed over to domestic companies. .

Even the second original painting and the first original painting also come from a large number of domestic companies.

Detective Conan, Inuyasha, Naruto, Death Note and other well-known animations have domestic companies.

Not only in Japan, but also in Hollywood, there are a large number of animation films that domestic companies participate in, but they give them plenty of time and have higher quality requirements.

For the same project, domestic investors require that it be released in a year or even less to make money.

However, Hollywood and Japan can give enough time to complete the project, so the products produced by the same company, for foreign OEMs and domestic, are completely different in quality.

Tang An shook his head, "But the investors have nothing to do. The domestic market is not as good as Hollywood and Japan. Once the two-year or even longer cycle is like theirs, then it's better to do something else to pay back faster. After all, they It is to make money, and the first goal of Japanese and Hollywood investors is also to make money, but the other side's market is better."

"As long as investors can see that Guoman can make a lot of money and the income is high enough, I think the situation will improve in the future. At least some people will be willing to wait for an extra year or two, and they will no longer be so anxious."

"I hope so. We have to ask Tang Dongduo to help us release the movie. Many people have left our team in the past few years. Some went to advertising companies, some worked as fashion designers, and some went to TV dramas. It's a pity. .”

The loss of talents, or members of his own team, made Tian Xiaopeng a little heartbroken.

"It will get better. Any industry has its troughs. Only by going out can we usher in the peaks!"

Soon the premiere ceremony began, and Tang An and the main creators took the stage.

It's just an animated movie, only voice actors, no stars.

If it weren't for the popularity of screenings before, it would be a bit shabby.

Without further ado, Tang An announced that the screening of the film would officially start.

"Today is New Year's Eve 29, and it will be [-] years old in a few hours. I am very happy that everyone can take time to participate in the premiere ceremony of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" during this family reunion time. I will not delay here Everyone has time to go back and reunite with their families, let me just say, this movie will definitely not let you down, thank you!"

It is said that a long time ago, there was a monkey king named Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was powerful and supernatural. He angered the Jade Emperor because of the disturbance in the heavenly palace. The Jade Emperor sent heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest him.

With a narration, the movie officially begins, and at the beginning is the scene of Monkey King making a big fuss in Tiangonggao.

The Great Sage sat on the top of the mountain and watched these so-called gods.

"You have violated the rules of heaven, so hurry up and obey the law!" King Tota stepped forward to arrest him.

However, it was only a peach that responded to him.

Li Tianwang was beaten by Taozi.

Feeling ashamed and indignant, he ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to step forward quickly and capture the monstrous monkey!

There are still a small number of audiences who have watched the movie. Most of the audience at the premiere scene at this moment have a feeling of lightening up at the beginning, and feel that they are worthy of the super high reputation.

"Good peach, take a bite and it's crunchy!"

"Why does it feel like listening to Peking Opera!"

"Armstrong Superspin!"

The giant spirit god stepped forward.

There was only disdain in the eyes of the Great Sage.

One move. No, one kick beat him!

Nezha stepped forward to fight.

The four heavenly kings each show their supernatural powers.

The body shape changes, and the way of changing is compared with Erlang God.

Walk fearlessly through the rain of arrows.

What about Marshal Canopy?
He was still thrown into the anti-room!
In the war with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Great Sage won a complete victory!
However, the Tathagata Buddha could not tolerate him despising the heaven.

Put a chain seal on him and suppress him under Five Fingers Mountain!

Then Monkey King has been under the Five Elements Mountain!

"The great sage who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain is no longer a great sage!"

"After the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, there will be no Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

"Wei Mao felt sad at the beginning!"

"I want this sky, and it can no longer cover my eyes. I want this sky full of gods and Buddhas to disappear in smoke!"

Although there were not many scenes where the great sage battled the heavenly soldiers and generals at the beginning, the audience's blood boiled in just a few minutes.

Some Secondary [-] audience members were still mumbling.

The film continues.

As soon as the screen changed, more than 400 years later, a boy picked up the doll of the Great Sage.

The boy's father teased the child, "Don't worry, Monkey King will not die, he just fell asleep!"

Then he got up and greeted him on his way.

Cliffs, rugged paths, a little carelessness, you will fall into the abyss.

Mother holds sleeping baby.

The father comforted his wife, everything was so harmonious and peaceful.

The short-lived tranquility was broken by the arrival of the mountain monster. If it weren't for the mountain monster, in this troubled world, who would be willing to leave their hometown with their families?
Father resolutely drew out his sword and faced the ferocious mountain demon.

The father fought with the mountain demon.While the mother was holding the child, she was forced to the edge of the cliff by the mountain monster!
The mother looked at the lovely child, and resolutely jumped into the abyss of the cliff.

At the beginning of the movie, there are two tragedies, the Monkey King who is trapped under Wuzhi Mountain, and the mother who is forced to jump off the cliff.

On this festive day, there will be a sense of disobedience.

And some sentimental viewers are also a little melancholy.

"A woman is weak by nature, but a mother is strong!"

"I'd rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times!"

"Why do you want to cry after reading a little bit!"

The screen turned and came to the mountain.

A wandering monk who was drawing water by the river saw a wooden basin in the stream.

Hurry up to the water and pick up the wooden basin.

Picking up the little child from inside, he sighed a poor child.

But in this troubled world, who is not pitiful?

The child can't speak yet, but his demeanor is cute, which warms the old monk's heart.

Hugging the child tightly, the two depended on each other for life and never separated!

The old monk took the child for alms!

Climb the mountains!

Lived in a cave!

Go ahead in a snowstorm!
Play around in the reeds!
The child is growing up slowly!
Watching the old and the young wandering all the way around the world, the difficulties and obstacles in it are embarrassing.

"Didn't you jump off the cliff? How could there be a wooden basin?"

"There is a sense of déjà vu in The Wanderings of Sanmao!"

"Master, cute! So cute!"

"Jiang Liu'er? Has the screenwriter seen the Go boy!"

"This is Tang Seng? Mengmeng is so cute, is this the story of Tang Seng and Monkey King when he was a child?"
