      Be a monkey's rescuer in the childhood of flowers

      To be honest, when I came out after reading Dabai, I didn't hear any more word-count evaluations except that my friends kept saying "Dabai is so cute".
      "Go and see!"
      "Why?"
      "Dabai is so cute!" Foreign animations are praised for being so awesome

      , but because the details are in place, the characters are full, and the soundtrack is rich and delicate What children see, the protagonist must be kind, upright, without flaws, and undead with a super halo to fight monsters. Do...

      If you don't give good reviews, you're playing hooligans to the great sage.

      After watching the screening, I was still very excited in the middle of the night. Pili Pula kept telling her husband how awesome this movie was, and repeatedly pulled the various trailer MVs back again and again. The more you look, the more blood boils.

      This is not only a new milestone for domestic animation, but also the conscience of domestic films.

      I was in tears when I saw the last 1/3. Not because of Xiaojiang Liuzi's sacrifice, but because our peers have accomplished...

      call me ashes

      Three brushes of "The Return of the Great Sage", and then freed up the mood to write a film review.

      The first time I went to the theater, I faced typhoon "Canhong".
      The second time I went to the theater, I formed a viewing team of eleven people. In the end, only five people showed up.
      The third time I went to the theater, I walked leisurely and leisurely in the light rain.

      This is the first time I've invested so much enthusiasm in a movie.
      In fact, I don't...

      conscience domestic

      This is the first time I write a movie review. I am sorry for the wrong wording
      . I watched the screening today. I am very serious and I will share with you the whole post-view summary:
      1. When you enter the cinema, you will be pleasantly surprised! The propagandist made Jiang Liuer's cartoon character mascot very carefully. The staff should be very hot wearing Jiang Liuer's puppet suit. When I walked over, they waved at me very cutely, and I even took a picture of him. Cute.

      Talk about where the play is

      Place of play:
      The moment when Wang Feng's "Braveheart" sounded; the
      close-up was given to the villain maggot licking his salty and wet tongue;
      Bai Long's appearance was more than shocking, obviously he was responsible for his appearance, but the whole film did not understand what it was for What;
      Zhu Bajie went down to the world instead of being reincarnated, but directly turned into Piggy. Not to mention, why did he suddenly join the team?
      How did the old monk find...

      Playing around, he fell asleep. Jiang Liuer fell from the mountain as soon as he appeared, and then he kept falling from the mountain throughout the movie. At first, he reluctantly explained why he didn't fall to his death (falling into the water, hanging on a tree), but then he simply fell down with one shot and shot the ashes with one shot and stood up. He fell off twice while I was writing this short...

    Behind the scenes gags

    (1) Liu'er's hair in the film is close to a bald head to a round inch at the beginning, to a long version of a round inch in the second half of the story. Liu'er's hair grows with the development of the story. When the character was set, Liu'er had two versions of an explosive head and a brushed head, but did not appear in the movie;
    (2) The Peking Opera sung by the demon king Chaos in the demon cave was not sung by Tong Lao , but by...

    Creative Background

    In 1995, when director Tian Xiaopeng was in his third year, a friend copied him a copy of 3D production software, which changed his fate. He deleted all the games on the computer and began to focus on 3D animation. In 1997, he participated in the production of some episodes of CCTV's domestic cartoon "The Journey to the West". It was at that time that he cultivated the plot of the Great Sage and had a bold idea: to produce a series of...

    Character Design

    The film did not use the "Monkey King" design that was common in the past. Tian Xiaopeng said that the Monkey King in his mind should be a hero who is not good-looking, but rebellious and chivalrous.   He hopes that the audience can like the character through the thick human nature of Wukong in the film, rather than simply accept it on the surface, and think that this way the character can stand up.
    As Tian Xiaopeng's favorite...

    Sage

    Director Tian Xiaopeng wanted to use his voice to reproduce the excitement of watching " The Monkey King " in his childhood, so he asked Huang Yinghua to talk about music creation. The reason why Huang Yinghua was chosen is because the film music Huang Yinghua made for Zhou Xingchi, especially when the characters appeared, made Tian Xiaopeng intuition that this was the way he wanted to appear as Monkey King. In terms of music creation,...

    Screen

    The painting style of "The Return of the Great Sage" is realistic, the scene setting is dreamy and mysterious, and the picture is full of beauty.
