"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" broke 100 million in three days, which is a miracle. From the perspective of box office, it is a new industry benchmark for domestic animated films. What "Kuiba" did not do, "Qin Shimingyue" did not do, and "The Return of the Great Sage" did. From the point of view of word of mouth, this is an emotional riot from the grass-roots class, gathering sand into a tower, working together, bringing warmth and confidence to this and future films that have no stars, no publicity, and only real quality.

I still remember when I walked out of the giant screen a week ago, my footsteps and my mood were a little fluttering. When he explains why he is excited, he usually uses this analogy: his child is frail and sick, and he has been bullied by the strong European, American, Japanese and Korean children next door since he was a child, until one day, your child suddenly stretched his bones and became tall and heroic. Won't you cry with emotion?

It's a bit embarrassing to be so blunt, but it's probably true. Especially on the big screen where the powdery air is getting more and more suffocating, we finally found a domestic hero who is powerful and unparalleled in the world. I don't dare to answer the phrase "marking that domestic animation has stepped out of the youthful era", but "The Return of the Great Sage" at least tried to break free from the cultural insecurity of domestic animation, and the style did not imitate Japan and South Korea blindly. The action-hearted animation of the national hero complex and the spirit of Western Dionysus.

"Kuiba" also wanted to follow the path of passion at the beginning, but soon began to swing back and forth, and wanted to attract young fans but did not want to give up children's audiences. The rhythm of the story is to take care of children and turn to younger age. National Day, the final result is that both sides do not buy it. If you want to seize the children's market, can you beat the bear infested Pleasant Goat?

I'm not saying this to protect the calf, I'm already tired of Hollywood animation. The industrial level of others is indeed developed, but the story has nothing to do with me. The jokes are all products of the assembly line, and you can guess the end by looking at the beginning. I have also watched Hollywood animations in recent years, but the only mainstream movies I like are "The Lego Movie", "Wreck-It Ralph", "Kung Fu Panda" and half of "Frozen". No matter how fragrant other people's food is, what I miss most is the taste of my own.

In fact, Chinese animation is not born weak. There was a time when animators all over the world turned to China for lessons. When I was in college, I would occasionally go to the animation school to take a class. What impressed me the most was when the old dean asked who had seen "Havoc in Heaven", all the students raised their hands, and he asked who had seen it more than ten times. let go. He said that he has not seen it more than 30 times in the future, so he does not say that he has seen "Havoc in Heaven".

Today, half a century has passed since "Havoc in Heaven". Chinese animation has long lost its own style and has become a habitual laughing stock of the public. However, "Journey to the West" is still China's oldest and most powerful fantasy IP, no one. Its imagination has been squeezed for thousands of years by later generations, and it is still inexhaustible. Therefore, when a contemporary domestic commercial animation blockbuster appeared with a technical level that is in line with the international standards, with a target audience of both young and old, and presented with deconstructed traditional stories and 3D visual effects, the "Great Sage" was reborn and reborn, and "Return" was also placed. It shows the significance of Guoman's enduring humiliation and burden and making a comeback. It is said that the story of "The Return of the Great Sage" is nothing new, so is it innovative to change it to something like "Most Travels"?

Some people say that the emotional process of the movie "The Return of the Great Sage" is like this:

I fuck, what is "The Return of the Great Sage"?
Shit, why did you adapt "Journey to the West" again?
Well, there is Chen Jieyi, I will click in and take a look.
Oops, that's a nice composition.
Oops, this scene is modeled very finely.
Oops, this dubbing doesn't actually violate harmony.
Oh, this song is so good.
Damn, this dubbing is Tong Zirong.
Damn, this composer is Huang Yinghua.
...

me too. I also remember those clever little details in "The Return of the Great Sage".

Jiang Liu'er was just a little sensible kid. With a big snot, he vowed to save people, but he fell asleep after walking a few steps. As the plot progresses, his hair grows a little bit.

The Great Sage is a big warm man with a cold appearance and a hot heart. He kept watch while the children were sleeping, and covered the little girl's eyes when he released his hands. Thinking that Jiang Liu'er was dead, the expression of the six gods and no masters. The molten stone is armor, the flames are turned into robes, and the big mountains and rivers are split with a stick, and the handsome cry is alive.

It should be emphasized that the tap water did not turn a blind eye to the defects of "The Return of the Great Sage", but because the feelings were too overflowing, it couldn't help but like a seedling, hoping that it would survive the storm and go to a place where the sun is warmer. grow up. In fact, a lot of tap water comes from the professional ACG field. They are very aware of the gap between every hair, every scale, every beam, every tracking and Hollywood's top level, but they can better understand that the creators are tightening their belts here. , In the eight years of clenching his teeth and supporting him, how much effort he has paid and how many times he has broken through himself.

In the past few days, "Little Times 4" and "Gardenia Blossom" are in power in Chinese cinemas. Compared with them, I sincerely recommend this "The Return of the Great Sage" to you.
