Several folk artists are performing the havoc in the Tiangong shadow puppet show that the residents of Chang'an City love to see, and suddenly they come out A big bald head indicated that he also wanted to learn dubbing. This big bald head is Jiang Liuer, the senior fanboy of Monkey King Monkey King. As a monk, Jiang Liuer didn't study how to consecrate the lost female benefactor. Every day, he only focused on collecting Monkey King's figures and studying Monkey King's gossip. Jiang Liuer's behavior made his master, monk Faming, very headache, so he had to take the trouble to preach to him. From this, we know that there is no reason why this lively Zhengtai will grow into Luo Jiaying who sings Only You in the future.
Just when Faming was busy doing ideological and political work for his apprentices, a group of orcs shouting "For the tribe!" rushed into Chang'an City, grabbed children everywhere and went back to make sacrifices to their boss Chaos. As a Virgo villain, Chaos has strict restrictions on the age, number, and male-to-female ratio of children, almost not enough. Therefore, although Jiang Liuer just rescued a girl casually, the plan of Chaos's subordinates could not proceed at all.
Jiang Liuer was chased by the monsters all the way to Wuxing Mountain. In the cave, he saw a big popsicle. The popsicle was also equipped with a biometric identification switch that could scan palm prints. Jiang Liuer unintentionally untied the seal and released the Monkey King Monkey King, who had been imprisoned by the Tathagata Buddha for five hundred years. Sun Wukong, who had regained his freedom, helped Jiang Liuer to solve the monster that was chasing after him, and Jiang Liuer's nose was dripping with excitement. What I am more curious about here is that many banshees in "Journey to the West" are very interested in Tang Seng's [beep] fluid, so Tang Seng's snot is another kind of mucus that flows out of his body, I don't know if it will be very good. Nutrition? Maybe the relishing monster who drinks Jiang Liuer's snot will gain superpowers and become the villain of the sequel.
As a typical male god, long legs and a long face must have at least one item. Accidentally met the male god Jiang Liuer and fully developed the stalker spirit of die-hard fans. However, the Great Sage did not pay attention to him, because he was busy removing the smart wearable device on his wrist that was reluctantly put on by the Tathagata Buddha, which would limit the performance of his abilities. I think a saw should be placed not far from the Great Sage for the Great Sage to use. Seeing that the male god who was busy looking for the saw and saw hands ignored her love, Jiang Liuer tried his best to brush his presence in front of the Great Sage. This made the Great Sage not only want to saw his hands, but also his legs.
When the Great Sage was busy studying how to saw his hands, he suddenly had a big bald head. This time, it's Marshal Tianpeng whose nirvana is turned into food (just kidding~poof~). Taking advantage of Jiang Liuer's attention drawn by Tianpeng's transformation technique, the great sage quickly slipped away, throwing off the stalker. He has already thought of a more practical way than Sawman, which is to collect seven dragon balls and summon the dragon to release the seal on his body.
After realizing that he had lost the Great Sage, Jiang Liuer hurriedly asked Tianpeng to take him to find it, so Tianpeng turned into a black cat. If the black cat appeared in uniform, then this segment would be an Easter egg similar to Loki transforming into Captain America in Thor 2. No matter whether it is black or white, it is a good cat if you can catch the Great Sage. And because the Dasheng lied too many times to children, although his nose did not grow longer, he could not drive the somersault cloud that only children can sit on for the time being, and his leg strength was much slower, so he was actually walked by the canopy of the catwalk and the circuitous route. Miao and Jiang Liuer easily caught up. What the Great Sage never expected was that he did not collect all the seven dragon balls and summoned the dragon. It's just that this dragon has a colder temperament, and is not very interested in helping people realize their wishes. After walking around the three of them for a few times, he sang a sad song in a low voice, "It's really hard to be hurt. Carrying Tang Sanzang and following the three apprentices", he went back to dive again.
In desperation, the Great Sage still accepted Jiang Liuer and Tianpeng, two literally pig-like teammates. Together, they watched the snow, the moon, the stars, and urinated everywhere. They talked about Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles from the heavenly court, and spent a leisurely time.
On this day, under the leadership of Jiang Liuer, a group of three people and a baby girl in a basket successfully came to a black shop that almost had the word "black shop" written on the signboard. I was surprised that Marshal Tianpeng, who has always been suave in the store, did not show too much interest in the proprietress whose clothes and dresses reflected the customs of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that Marshal Tianpeng has been very hungry for five hundred years. He will have to wait until he fills his stomach in Gao Lao Zhuang in the future before he has time to re-think about women. In the middle of the night, the canopy got up to steal food, and accidentally discovered that the proprietress was a monster and wanted to steal the baby girl. I don't know if this banshee eating booger is the same one who drank Jiang Liu'er's snot in Wuxing Mountain before.
Although the great sage is not in mana, his kung fu is still there, and it is more than enough to deal with the little demons with just physical attacks. But in the face of the demon king wonton who can make waves... I'm sorry, I want to become "Dragon Ball" again, it should be Chaos, and becoming a Muggle Great Sage is not so handy. The baby girl was captured by the demon king, and the great sage's self-confidence was completely defeated.
Seeing that the great sage had lost his fighting spirit, Jiang Liuer decided to save people by himself. Because the painstakingly rehearsed song and dance performance was interrupted by Jiang Liuer and his master Faming, the demon king Chaos was out of anger and summoned his little demons to hunt down the two bald heads. Now the precious ingredient of Jin Chanzi reincarnation has not been developed into the first dish in the demon world, so Chaos would rather eat 500 little ghosts who were caught and make up the number rather than Jiang Liuer. In the future, if he knows what he has missed , must cry faint in the toilet. Yesterday you ignored my love, and tomorrow I will make you unaffordable.
Although he didn't see Jiang Liuer's medicinal and edible value at a glance, Chaos still didn't mind letting the big bald head come to the bowl with five hundred other little ghosts. At a critical juncture, Sun Dasheng, a master dragon trainer, came to the rescue successfully. The canopy, which was present with the great sage, perfectly interprets the funny role that the monkey invited. Fortunately, there is no decent helper on the Chaos side, so the situation has become a heads-up that seems to be relatively fair. Although Chaos will make waves, the Great Sage is also experienced in hundreds of battles. He has never seen any of the demons and ghosts in the Three Realms. The Bull Demon King of the Flame Mountain is far higher than Chaos. The Great Sage talks and laughs with him. After being hit by the Great Sage, his face was beyond recognition, Chaos was beaten until his nose and eyes were gone, and finally he became a big meat worm with a suspicious shape.
After abandoning his obsession with appearance, Chaos' combat effectiveness has risen by a large margin. Seeing that the Great Sage gradually fell into the disadvantage, Jiang Liuer decided to help the Great Sage to distract the enemy's attention. His tactics were very successful, but he also put himself into an extremely dangerous situation, and his fragile flesh could not withstand the ferocious attack of chaos. Watching his true love fans fall in front of him, uncontrollable grief and anger poured out from the Great Sage's body, breaking through the shackles of the bracelet. The great sage, who had a raging fighting spirit, put on his armor again, waved the golden hoop, and blasted the chaos to the slag.
The crisis subsided, and the great sage felt that his red scarf was more vivid. At this moment, a familiar shout came from behind him. It turned out to be a false alarm, but it's a pity that Jiang Liuer, who had hoped to grow up and become a handsome monk like Wu Yanzu, was so broken. The Great Sage summoned the long-lost somersault cloud, which only good children can sit on, and sent five hundred boys and girls back home. As for the next story of the Great Sage and Jiang Liuer, please listen to the next breakdown.

In the elusive weather, I didn't want to go out, but in the past two days, a message would pop up on my mobile phone or computer almost every now and then to ask me my thoughts on the movie "The Return of the Great Sage". I didn't pay much attention to it before, and I usually skip it when I see the video of domestic cartoons. I don't hate domestic animation films like "Pleasant Goat" like some adult audiences do, but I don't particularly like them, including a film from a few years ago that was called the conscience of domestic animation like this film, which is full of sincerity, but The plot is so hilarious that it makes people play. I always felt that I might not buy a ticket to watch a domestic animated movie for a long time. I believe that domestic animation has a bright development prospect, but I don’t want to be a stepping stone on their way forward, so I originally thought that maybe a few years later, when this field is mature enough, I will join the domestic animation film consumer. line to go. Unexpectedly, this "several years" was suddenly shortened by the trailer of "The Return of the Great Sage". I'm not kneeling in shock from the trailer, as many people describe themselves. The trailer for this movie just felt "normal" to me. But that's enough. Because now normal movies on our market are very precious. The first four of the six words "domestic", "animation" and "movie" are not attractive to me. I went to see this movie not to support domestic production, nor to support animation, nor to support domestic animation, just for the sake of It's a movie. Its trailer gave me the impression that it was a decent normal movie.
However, it's not easy to watch a decent normal movie. The nearest movie theaters where I live either didn't have this movie, or they only had one or two shows and they were all full. After a 40-minute drive, I arrived at a slightly larger theater, where five or six shows were lined up a day. When I went out, I estimated that I should be able to buy tickets for the latest show when I went to the ticket office of the theater, and I checked in advance that there were a few spots in the corner. As a result, I was told that there were still seats in the last game two and a half hours later, and there was only one seat, the first seat in the first row. Make a decisive move, if you don't buy it again, maybe this one will be gone.
As I expected, this is a normal movie with normal plot and normal special effects. I give five stars to have moisture, but this moisture is not for domestic production. If the same plot was made in countries with more developed film industries such as the United States and Japan, I would also give it five stars. From the movie review I wrote a while ago about another movie, it can be seen that I have been feeling a lot of cancer recently, so it is not surprising that I have an infinite fondness for this movie that is difficult to call perfect in all aspects.
When I was young, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" on TV was the most exciting moment. There was even a TV show during the day that I couldn’t remember whether it was in Tibetan or Uyghur. My dad wanted to change the channel, but he said he couldn’t understand it anyway, but I killed him and wouldn’t let him change it, saying that even if he couldn’t read it If you understand it, you should read it, as long as it is Journey to the West. The video cassette box of "Havoc in Heaven" has never been found, because the video recorder is basically equivalent to its box, and the playback rights of the video recorder have been occupied by this cartoon all the year round. When I was shopping at the mall, I saw a toy of Brother Monkey in the 99 edition of "Journey to the West" cartoon. It was as big as a finger, but the price was not too cheap, so I bought it after grinding it with my family for a long time, and I couldn't put it down when I went back.
While watching the movie, I kept thinking, since when did I think Sun Wukong was less cool. Maybe after entering the second year of middle school, when I watched the younger generation who were seven or eight years younger than me occupying the remote control and squatting in front of the TV to watch "Journey to the West", out of contempt for them and in order to show their own taste Not bad, but deliberately kept myself away from this familiar image; perhaps it was because the visual effects of the constantly remade "Journey to the West" story and the foreign film and television dramas of the same period widened and became increasingly disappointing; perhaps it was because of the Monkey King. The image was consumed by filmmakers eager for quick success, and finally reduced to being ridiculed like a monkey under the hands of a monkey juggler, and he also joined the numb mockers.
In this film, the great sage who has lost his mana and is down and out, seems to be the Monkey King who has gradually become no longer a hero and no longer needed in the eyes of the audience who are most familiar with him. The people who abandoned Sun Wukong for a long time. However, in the face of various temptations or resistance, there are those who fall behind like me, but there are also true fans like Jiang Liuer in the film who never give up. It is they who support the great sage's male god halo always shines. Among them, there are even more capable, perseverance, and courageous people who are willing to sink their hearts and spend several years to carefully polish and polish the battle armor and golden hoop of the Great Sage. That's why we can see today's great sage returning with the same handsomeness and domineering attitude as the era when each of us was regarded as a star. "It turned out to be him, the Great Sage Monkey King, and my male god. He has always been, since when I was illiterate and could not speak well." I forgot such an important matter. Thank you for your kindness this time. remind.
One of my favorite lines in the whole film is when the great sage encouraged Jiang Liu to tell him that as long as he had enough courage and determination, one day he would be able to control the flying dragon. I like this sense of destiny in this past life. And such lines are the result of the main creator's distilling from the original work, unlike many lazy filmmakers who only pull out a chapter from the book to mechanically revise and piece together some random plots. Everyone is saying that "Journey to the West" is a super IP, but the "Journey to the West" movie that started shooting like a swarm actually doesn't understand how this IP should be used. IP is like the root of a tree. Those who make good use of it will water it with their own efforts and then pick the fruits they need from the branches that are born from their own efforts. Like this film and "Westward Journey" and even "Dragon Ball" That's the case; some filmmakers who don't like to use their brains see that the root of this tree is thick enough, so without saying a word, they just swung the axe up and chopped a large piece of wood back for firewood, and a group of people rushed to the top, for fear If you are slow, this kind of unsustainable development of IP will only make everyone perish in the end. A long time ago, when I didn't know what the hell "IP" was, I mentioned to people my metaphor of the roots and branches of a tree. The example I gave at that time was "Superman". The comics of "Superman" were first published almost 80 years ago, but every time the film was adapted, it could be integrated into the current era background without any sense of incongruity. The earliest comic book is the root of the tree, and now the dazzling array of Superman cartoons and movies are its lush branches and fruits. In fact, Journey to the West may not be able to be adapted in this way. For example, the time when Brother Monkey was trapped in the Five Elements Mountains was extended for thousands of years, and he was not rescued until the 21st century. Of course this goes a long way. At present, it seems that it is very difficult for Chinese filmmakers to film ancient stories that are relatively close to the original works, and others should not be extravagant for the time being.
When I was buying tickets, a couple were in front of me. When they saw that I had bought the tickets, they went to ask the conductor why they didn’t sell them. The conductor explained that because there was only one ticket, and I came alone like me There are not many wonderful things to watch movies, so I will deal with them. I'm a little worried that the couple stumbled to see "Little Times" or "Gardenia Blossom" because they didn't buy tickets. I don't mean to say that watching "The Return of the Great Sage" is better than watching "Little Times". In fact, I always thought that if a person really likes to watch "Little Times", then she goes to the cinema to support the film she likes. This kind of behavior is not only not shameful but worthy of respect. The problem now is that many viewers obviously don't like watching "Little Times", and they themselves know this very well, but they still buy tickets to watch it. I think such behavior is evil. Because the theater doesn't care what purpose you are watching "Little Times", they only know that there are a lot of people watching this movie, so they will line up a few more shows for it. And that's only going to get worse for that movie you wanted to see but missed because of the tension. I hope that every audience will follow their own hearts and buy tickets to support the movies they want to watch the most. Those who come for "The Return of the Great Sage" are not watching "The Return of the Great Sage", the big deal is to change theaters or wait for a few more hours; those who come to "Little Times" are unswerving and tearful sisters forever. Split up, don't change your stance just because some bad uncles like me say bad things about "Little Times". Everyone supports their favorite movies with practical actions, so that the theater's schedule can really reflect the popularity of each movie in the audience, so that the movie market can develop healthily. As for some viewers, they will say, I came out with my girlfriend. She has to watch something, so she can't just leave empty-handed because she didn't see the movie she wanted to watch the most. For this part of the audience, my suggestion is that instead of finding a movie that you don’t like watching that much, you will even suffer for two hours. If you end up watching the movie, the two people will have very different viewing experiences and they will break up. It is better to pay for the movie ticket. Save it to open a house.
The above-mentioned five-star rating for this movie is completely overflowing with my feelings. In fact, there are still some small flaws in the movie. The whole picture and character shape of the movie are very comfortable to look at, but some places seem to be a bit flawed. For example, there are no shadows in many scenes, so they seem to be floating in the air (the most obvious one is the chaos in the final battle. A few of the little minions climbed a mountain, densely packed, much like Ultron's robot army in Avengers 2). However, I believe that these are because the funding problem has not been properly solved for the time being. With the strength and sincerity of the main creator of this film, similar problems in future sequels will definitely be reduced to a minimum. However, the biggest shortcoming of this film is that there is no Sha Wujing, the soul character of "Journey to the West". Sha Wujing's "Big Brother, Master has been captured by monsters!" Like "I'll be back." in "Terminator", "Yipeee Ki-yay, motherfucker!" in "Die Hard", "Live long and prosper." in "Star Trek", "You know a chicken, Jon Snow" in "Game of Thrones." The same, occupy an important place in the story. Imagine, if Wukong rides the dragon to the battlefield, let Sha Wujing first announce "The little bald head was captured by the monster!", then the decisive battle will not be as rushed as it is now. You say what I said is right.
