Chapter 316

All theories ultimately need to be presented in practice.

In the end, the schedule of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will create a Spring Festival schedule, or it will fail within this schedule, and the box office will hit the street. All this will have to wait for the final decision during the Spring Festival.

Some movie meetings in various cities of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" have also started, and Chen Xi will try to participate as much as possible.

After all, for him now, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is an important part of his plan, and there is no room for error.

If this movie can't achieve what I want, it will be a major loss for the future planning of Deep Space Films.

Chen Xi's goal at the box office is to make "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" reach a level of 12 billion.

However, for some reason, Chen Xi had a vague feeling that the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" might exceed his imagination.

It may be because he appeared in this movie, as if Xu Ke and Master Xing from "Journey to the West" combined.

These are the conclusions Chen Xi came to after participating in meetings in several cities.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" Although Chen Xi is only a nominal name, she still put forward her own ideas in some places and implemented them firmly. Nice out-of-screen effect.

Seriously, the Chinese understanding of 3D...

Well, it should not be the Chinese, but people all over the world do not have a deep understanding of 3D. It is difficult to experience a 3D movie as a whole. If there are more effects on the screen, it means that the 3D effect is better.

From this point of view, in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Chen Xi specially invested an additional 1000 million yuan in the 3D screen effect.

Of course, the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has too many bad tastes of the star master, ugly and scary things abound. In these places, Chen Xi will try to downplay it as much as possible. Swords, characters jumping up and down, and the sense of space of high-speed advancement are made.

Chen Xi's idea is obviously good, at least there are many points in the middle that make people feel like they are appearing in front of their eyes, and they are taken aback.

In fact, no matter whether the screen effect is good or the 3D effect is good, at least among domestic directors, the only one who can really be counted on is the old monster Xu Ke Xu.

In Xu Ke's "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", every fight is full of colorful 3D effects, whether it is Zhou Xun falling from the iron chain like a feihong, or the last tornado floating around, it is very impressive. It makes people feel dizzying, beautiful to the extreme.

Especially Li Yuchun's flying knife in the middle, the 3D magnifies the sense of danger of her flying knife to the extreme, making people really feel the horror of the martial arts character, not just a superficial touch on fancy moves.

Xu Ke completed another deconstruction of the martial arts world with this movie and 3D movie.

The subsequent "Dragon King of the Gods" used magnificent 3D effects to build a vast fantasy world from another angle, and the use of underwater 3D technology was also amazing.

The 3D of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart" feels a bit weak, but it still produces a lifelike big tiger.

Movies like Chen Xi's "Gravity" basically cannot be shot in 3D. After all, real things basically need post-production, so this kind of movie can only achieve 3D effects through post-production. As long as you are willing to spend money, Chen Xi will definitely pay more, no matter what the cost.

After all, Gravity wouldn't be able to complete its mission without stunning 3D effects.

Now in "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons", Chen Xi's control of the 3D effect is just a kind of practice, and he will make better ones later.

... On this day, Chen Xi and the others came to the last stop of the premiere in a big city: Xijing.

The decline of Xijing began after the Han Dynasty, but the southward shift of the economic center is the general trend of history, and now Xijing does not have a high sense of presence in China, because Xijing is already on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will be published in a few days. will officially begin showings, so this is the last stop.

For Chen Xi, in fact, he does not have such a strong sense of concern and anticipation for what this movie brings to everyone.

Of course, another important reason is that in the previous screenings, everyone thought this movie was not bad, so Chen Xi and the others had enough confidence.

But for the audience here, today is still the first time to see this movie.

After the initial LOGO show, the movie officially started.

The LOGO of this movie is mainly from Radio and Television and Deep Space Film and Television. After the two have passed, the opening shot is an overhead shot. Chen Xi has already used a very good 3D effect for this overhead shot. It looks like it was shot from above. , without the slightest fancy.

"This 3D effect is great!" Many people were full of strong expectations for this movie in an instant...

In fact, many 3D movies in the world feel quite good at the beginning, as if they were a 3D movie as wonderful as "Avatar". Exactly, what people see is just another egg-painful movie with only special effects in 3D.

Under such circumstances, many people's sense of expectation for 3D movies is getting stronger and stronger, and 3D is becoming more and more equated with misappropriating money. This kind of thing is regrettable, but there is nothing we can do about it.

And "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is actually not really good in terms of 3D effects, but after Chen Xi adjusted it according to the audience's taste, at least it still looks very good.

In the first scene, a strange fish suddenly rushed out of the calm water, which shocked some people, but here Chen Xi did not add too strong 3D effect, after all, he felt that the 3D effect here would be counterproductive Create some scary feelings.

However, the chasing between Wenzhang and the monsters between the wooden boards, the surrounding characters and the high and low spatial relationship made everyone feel the sudden 3D effect, as if they were being chased by these things just like Wenzhang. , While feeling thrilling and exciting, I also feel full of exhilaration in such a high and low shuttle.

Then Shu Qi also appeared, and the plot of the movie began to gradually get on the right track.

Then, a bunch of things happened.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" no matter what the literary and artistic nature behind it is, but if it is only about the entertainment of this movie, then there is really no problem.

There's obviously no problem with rhythm and stuff like that.

After all, Master Xing has been making movies for half his life, and he already has enough understanding of everything about movies, so he naturally knows how to make movies.

These things have their own set of rules.

In the following plot, a lot of jokes happened between the brothers and sisters in the mountain villa and the pig demon, which made people feel quite good.

"Sure enough, it has the nonsensical style of Master Xing's era."

"After all, it's Master Xing's movie! I feel like I'll see a lot of familiar things in it."

"This paragraph is also very good!"

In fact, the 3D effect of this section is relatively not particularly strong. After all, this also needs to be emphasized. Moreover, the section where the pig demon suddenly rushed out is really too heavy. If the 3D effect is too good, it will definitely attract people. Vomiting desire .

Chen Xi was also very helpless. He didn't know where Master Xing came from so many bad tastes, but he believed that most people still didn't like these disgusting and scary things.

The part in the middle that made everyone laugh so hard was the part where they were chasing the pig demon, especially the part where Wen Zhang was affixed with a spell and forced to dance, the laughter in the cinema never stopped After getting down, some people even rolled under their seats laughing.

"Master Xing's movies are still so funny!"

"I feel like there is something about Chen Xi this time, otherwise, this passage might not be so funny..." If Chen Xi heard this, he would probably be ashamed, after all, to be honest, he really didn't Participating in the production of these jokes, in fact, this time he appeared in the director list of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" really took advantage. After all, except for post-production supervision, Chen Xi did not do anything about the production of this film on things.

However, many people still unconsciously brought Chen Xi into this movie.

During this period, the ability of the demon catcher Shu Qi was more recognized.

The means of catching monsters in this paragraph, as well as various spells and so on, also make people feel quite imaginative. Good-looking fights are often in various imaginations.

This period of unrestrained imagination once again reminds people of the old movies of Master Xing, but it will be more embarrassing if Chen Xi knows: every time these guys think of these novel, interesting and funny things Sometimes, I always feel that Chen Xi is responsible for this.

Unlike "The Journey to Thailand", which focuses on piecing together one after another, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is a movie with a relatively complete plot, telling a very storytelling story from beginning to end. story.

As the plot progresses, everyone's attention is no longer just the comedy elements in this movie, but really began to integrate into the relationship between Tang Seng and Ms. Duan, from ignorance to Ms. Duan really liking Tang Seng, the whole process also has a feeling of "Journey to the West".

In Journey to the West, there is such a fairy Zixia who hopes that the person she loves will one day ride colorful auspicious clouds to marry her. In "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", although the lady Duan is not so beautiful, she is still tied to a girl with all her heart. on people.

Tang Seng, played by Wen Zhang, was thrown into a hole, and the plot is still quite compact. No matter what kind of movie everyone thinks this is, at least in the plot and various compact elements, the movie does not lose points at all.

And here, Tang Seng met a nagging Monkey King.

Huang Bo's performance is like this. A talented actor like Huang Bo can always play many roles in a three-point manner. Monkey King is talking about God here, and there are many laughing points in his words and Tang Seng's reaction. It also makes people laugh and feel good.

However, everyone can see a clue from Huang Bo's performance: this Monkey King seems a bit too much!

"So the Sutra of the Great Sun Tathagata is really good, really wonderful, really croaking!"

This kind of disgusting lines made people feel that this guy would really be so flattering?

Sure enough, after a while, Monkey King tricked Tang Xuanzang into pulling out the sealed lotus flower at the entrance of the cave, and escaped from the Five Elements Mountain. After that, he went berserk instantly, and then became the ugliest Monkey King in history.

Such an ugly Monkey King has aroused huge repercussions in the entire movie theater, and many people find it difficult to accept.

Of course, from a rational point of view, they also think that Monkey King is relatively reliable in a sense.

After all, Sun Wukong is not one of those high-end superheroes in DC Comics, such as Superman and Batman. This Monkey King is the unruly king of demon kings. People, in the "Journey to the West" TV series, as soon as Tang Seng appeared, he immediately accepted his head and worshiped as a filial son and grandson, but it may not be so reliable.

A king of demon kings who went to the sky and entered the earth, was deprived of his freedom for 500 years, and also ate copper pills and drank molten iron, and his hatred and resentment with Tathagata were almost irreconcilable. Such a Monkey King seems to be the most reliable point of.

And soon, Luo Zhixiang, the emptiness son, appeared. This exorcist turned the resentment in the movie theater into hilarious laughter. The pale face of the emptiness son, and the four hired presbyopia fairies around him made people laugh. It's disgusting and funny.Moreover, as soon as Master Kong's flying swords came out, the feeling of the imagination reappeared.

Chen Xi's production of 3D effects here can be said to be rich and colorful regardless of the cost. Therefore, the fierce fight between Mr. Kongkong and Monkey King, the collision of flying swords and iron rods, and the effects on the screen came one after another. Many audiences kept turning their heads to avoid flying The sword and the golden hoop collided with each other in the process.

Although the pain spread from the movie to reality, this 3D effect made them feel really enjoyable, so for many people who are not particularly well-researched, they instantly feel that the 3D effect of this movie has exploded. Avatar"...

Sun Wukong easily killed Mr. Kongkong, also KO Miss Duan, and began to torture Tang Seng. Everything finally came down to Tang Seng.

According to the rhythm of the movie script, it is now the last stop.

With Monkey King being conquered in the end, the movie finally returns to the rhythm of the love story. It turns out that Tang Seng has also fallen in love with Miss Duan...

But Miss Duan died.

An adapted piece of "The Love of My Life" was sung, and many people burst into tears amidst this familiar melody.

In fact, to be honest, the love in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and the various lines that appear because of this love are really not very good compared to "A Chinese Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marries", and the plot also exists. Similarly, the same jokes are involved in "A Chinese Journey to the West" and "The Great Sage of Love". Many people here shed tears more because of their feelings.

But, everyone has to say, this movie is really good.
