Mob Politics in Magical Journey to the West

Garland 2022-03-25 09:01:20

I watched Zhou Xingchi's new film "Journey to the West - Conquering the Demons". It was not as bad as I imagined, but it was definitely not as good as the so-called celebrities who took money on Weibo. You don't lack that little money, why bother. What's more, it didn't make the point at all, it was blunt and fake, and it might even be counterproductive.

I don't know what everyone thinks, but I think there are several highlights of this play:
the filming method of the copycat "Jaws" at the beginning, but it vividly interprets mob politics, and the big fish was blown ashore. The Taoist said, How to do?
Outrage: Kill it!
Another voice: Isn't it shit already?
Public indignation: Shit it again!

At this time, Tang Seng came out and said, this is not a monster, you made a mistake, the Taoist priest stepped forward and said tearfully: A good father was killed by a monster like this, you still say that, what is your motive?
So again the crowd was angry, the grief turned into strength, the group beat the Tang monk, and then cheered for victory.

The next fight against monsters, scrambled and dedicated, is also a kind of mass force with Chinese characteristics. In Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical film, there are all kinds of pictures.


Then it's actually bullshit, pulling out a love story.
At the end, Tang Seng finally found Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong had a paragraph: I had a little holiday with Buddha before, but now I know I was wrong. The Buddha's sutra is good when it comes. I recite the Buddha's sutra every day, and it's good.
This kind of shrewdness of oral dissatisfaction is best understood by the Chinese. It is almost impossible to say that reciting the Buddhist scriptures cured my mental illness.


I think it's rare for this movie to have both. The chariot in the film is like Yan Chixia's chariot in Tsui Hark's "Xiaoqian". Its opening is also similar to the opening of Tsui Hark's "Green Snake". The first 2 minutes of Green Snake? Fahai stood on the stone, looking at some strange-shaped creatures, all of them were ugly, grim-faced, busy, fighting, adultery, and said: people.
Another beautiful and handsome man was dancing and reciting poetry. He said something: Demon.

At the beginning of the chapter, the title is: what you see may not be true, what is beautiful may not be true, and what is ugly may not be false.
In this way, a popular film has been raised to a small height without affecting the viewing.

After watching the end of the film, Huo Xin's name appeared in the screenwriter, these two highlights became reasonable, Zhou Xingchi would not think so much. When I watched "Kung Fu", I felt amazing, very Zhou Xingchi surpassed Zhou Xingchi, and Huo Xin also participated in the screenwriting.

Most people don't know Zhou Xingchi. If I tell you a background: Most of the jokes in "The King of Comedy" are the real experience of Xingye. Maybe you can better understand Zhou Xingchi's movies. Ah Xing, who started as a "dead man" with half of his face, has become a big star and invested in real estate (Zhou is now investing in a high rate in Central, each city is worth more than 50 million yuan, and he is arguing with his ex-girlfriend, just to help him For the commission of the investment, his ex-girlfriend claimed 70 million.) The current star. What has he experienced in the naked cannibalistic capitalist society of HK? You can understand that every one of his films has been calculated inch by inch, how to make money. Looking good or bad is just a side effect. The "Yangtze River No. 7" after "Kung Fu" is very ordinary, but it is estimated that a doll alone will sell for a lot of money.

Recently, his life has been very difficult. It can almost be said that everyone has betrayed his relatives. The people around him (some even friends and partners who have cooperated with him for many years) have left him one by one. Liang Sihao said that he would never take over Stephen Chow's business in his life (of course, Zhou doesn't need him to take over), his friend and partner Tian Ji (Tian Qiwen, also the role of many Stephen Chow comedies) said in the media some time ago, I'm talking about that The story is not to say that Zhou Sheng is lonely. What did he tell about the past? He said that in the 1990s, Stephen Chow gave him a T-shirt, and he returned several movie tickets for the week of 10 as a rebate.

He said, in fact, the T-shirt at that time was very expensive, more than 200 yuan. It was the kind that I would never buy if I was beaten to death. He gave it to me!

I really don't know if this clarification is really correcting mistakes or just wanting to step on.
Having said that, Zhou Xingchi did this as a friend, and he had a fight with Jackie Chan, who gave the leftover lunch to his brothers and actively urged his brothers to save toilet paper.

Finally, let's talk about Lu Guanting. If it wasn't for the tune of "Love of My Life" played again in this movie, it is estimated that many people would have forgotten or had not paid attention to this song at all. I remember that when the big talk about Journey to the West was not yet popular, I downloaded the MP3 of this song in the school computer room with excitement, took a 3.5-inch floppy disk, waited patiently for two minutes, and filled the 1.44MB space at once. .

Lu Guanting has been banned since the 535 Incident and faded out of China's sight. He has also written a lot of good songs and sings well, but he looks really "numb". I watched his interview some time ago. He now lives in the village dance in Tai Po. He grows his own organic vegetables and eats them, and occasionally comes out I had a great time making a cameo role in a movie (playing Jacky Cheung's father in Moon Full Hennessy).

This song is almost meaningless than "Love in My Life", but after Shu Qi's interpretation, it is estimated that it will become popular.

So to sum up, this drama is also Shu Qi's performance is remarkable - she is more and more style. Even at his age, he's still so cute.
In fact, this film is the first film after Zhou CPPCC sold it, and there are 5-7 films to follow. There was a company with a national background that planned to go public in HK. It was called Cultural China. The company's prospectus wrote about the meeting He and Zhou Xingchi have made three movies in five years, and the rest is unclear. In the end, it seems that the listing was unsuccessful.

Finally, I want to talk about some big Vs on Weibo. Even if they get paid to help people do marketing, they don’t have to be so explicit. It’s really disgusting to watch. This movie is good in theaters or at home. It’s enough to watch it once. Now, how can it be so good, how can it be so high? There is no shortage of money, why do such a contemptible (at least disgusting to me) thing?

Besides, even if you get paid to do things, you have to do it better if you have trouble. Don't do it, and you will become a high-level black.
