This director is very reliable

Chapter 579 "The Return of the Great Sage" (45)

Director Xiaopeng is Tian Xiaopeng, the director of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Shen Changlin has a deep memory of him, not in "The Return of the Great Sage", but because he is very good at telling jokes.

In the original time and space, "The Return of the Great Sage" ran a road show. Some audience asked: "Director, there should be a sequel to "The Return of the Great Sage". If there is a sequel, is the Great Sage still a horse-faced monkey?"

He replied: "According to the set age, the Great Sage's appearance should not change too much!"

There are also many netizens chanting 'give birth to a monkey' on the Internet, and a reporter asked seriously: "Director, what do you think of the fans who shouted to give birth to monkeys for the Great Sage?"

He replied: "Fortunately, they are all primates, they are considered to be the same species!"

Later, I heard that his "Deep Sea" character design is very similar to "Tang's Boy" - for winning awards overseas (in an interview with Japan's NHK TV station, I pulled my eyes personally)
Whether it is intentional or not, do you think the characters are designed like that to cater to Western aesthetics?

Fortunately, "Tang's Boy" was released first, and then stepped on the thunder...

There's still time for a rework of The Deep!
At least people are willing to return to work...

In fact, just look at the character design of "Day-by-Day Boy" after "Tang's Boy", how wide is the distance between the eyebrows, and whether the Pacific Ocean is wide. If not, it means that they still know to respect the audience. If there is...

Then don't watch it!

After all, Yi Qiao and Tian Xiaopeng came here to discuss the promotion of "The Return of the Great Sage"...

"First of all, if domestic animation wants to get a high box office, it must become a phenomenon!"

"We have watched the content of "The Return of the Great Sage", and it is very good... How to make word-of-mouth become a box office? We will spend 4000 million yuan to make up for it..."

"Finally... it's also the choice of schedule, "Little Times 4" and "The Return of the Great Sage", I think it will become a sharp word-of-mouth comparison..."

Professional matters are left to professional people, and the publicity team obviously put their heart into "The Return of the Great Sage".

Nonsense, Shen Changlin said that this is the first shot fired at Caitiaowu, it must be beautiful!
The boss said so...

Shen Changlin was very satisfied, and nodded: "Let me add one more thing: feelings!"

"feelings?"

"What does Monkey King Monkey King mean? I dare not say to others, but for me, he is the first superhero I know, he is the first idol I admire...Many of my age should be Everyone has this idea…”

"The marketing account and the big V are very important. I want to release "The Return of the Great Sage" on the second day, and the whole network will be full of praise for "The Return of the Great Sage". Do you understand?"

"...OK, I'll do it!"

"Boss, is there anything else to add?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "No more... You arranged it very well."

In fact, if you think about it, you know that the propaganda team of Changlin Film and Television has been trained for so many years, how could it be possible that they have no means at all...

……

Yi Qiao led Tian Xiaopeng to meet Shen Changlin alone.

In the office, Shen Changlin said casually: "Sit casually, I just came back from filming "Eight Hundred"...I've been very busy recently, and I don't have much time to care about Caitiao House...how is it?"

Yi Qiao nodded: "It's pretty good, and several projects are progressing smoothly..."

"Work hard, I still hope that in three years, you can earn back our animation base!"

"...Three years?"

Yi Qiao was taken aback...

Caitiaowu animation base is Changlin Film and Television's branch factory in Huairou. Even with government subsidies, it still costs close to two billion yuan. Good guy, three years to pay back?
What do you think about selling the house?
"Two movies with a box office of 5 billion are enough!"

Yi Qiao couldn't take it anymore, so she hurriedly interrupted him: "Boss...what is our goal?"

"In today's market, blockbusters start at [-] million...We are doing "The Return of the Great Sage" again, let's double it, set a small goal first, let's make a billion box office..."

"One billion? But the box office record of a domestic animation film is 2.58 million of "Snow Ridge Bear Wind"..."

"What, no confidence? Or do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "You don't understand what Monkey King Monkey King means to us in this generation!"

After thinking about it, Shen Changlin added: "Let's put it this way, Chinese audiences are very satisfied. You just need to empathize with them at a certain point, and they will praise you to the sky! It's like my movie!"

Tian Xiaopeng was silent for a while, and Yi Qiao nodded: "Yes, I read a sentence in the Weibo comment area before: The boys and girls in your country are really interesting. They usually watch Japanese anime, Hollywood movies and American dramas every day, and never care about China. Literature, modern Chinese history, and Chinese culture, but as soon as I hear someone say your country, I immediately climax, I go to greet other people’s families, and I go to insult others for being unpatriotic.”

Shen Changlin gave him a thumbs up: "That's right, once we make something decent, such as "The Return of the Great Sage" this time, with proper marketing, there will definitely be a bunch of people who will spontaneously come to recommend it!"

Glancing at Tian Xiaopeng: "...Don't be swayed, don't be swayed, stick to your own aesthetics, stick to the Chinese people's aesthetics, don't think about winning foreign awards, it's meaningless!"

Tian Xiaopeng was a little wronged: "...I never thought about it..."

"Let me tell you in advance!" Shen Changlin waved his hand: "Yi Qiao, you should also pay attention, don't let those original artists spend some insulting Chinese character images!"

"Insulting the Chinese?"

"Do you know "Marvel"? Fu Manchu in it, the image of the Manchu is a typical yellow discrimination!"

"Oh…"

Yi Qiao wrote down what Shen Changlin thought of: "Some time ago, someone suggested that I adapt "Miss Saigon" or "Madame Butterfly" into a movie. I'm speechless, a slutty Asian vixen, obedient and submissive." It is a human miracle that something that Chinese dolls have been criticized in the West for a long time can still appear in this kind of musical!"

"Miss Saigon?"

"Whether it's Miss Saigon or Madame Butterfly, the core is the same. Asian women are greedy for the bodies of white American men! It's all Asian ladies who are madly in love with white American men, giving him their first time and giving birth to him, In the end, he committed suicide for him... It seems that the Jβ of American white men has a breath of freedom."

"The key is that these two dramas are quite popular in Asia, so magical! And the fucking "Joy Luck Club"!"

The two looked at each other, wondering why Shen Changlin suddenly criticized these two musicals...

Shen Changlin realized that he was a bit of a chicken and duck: "... Forget it, you go out first, I will be busy for a while!"

……

I have seen a passage, "Miss Saigon" can be changed like this: a white man from the United States fell madly in love with a Chinese man, and then devoted himself to him as his master, although he was rejected, he still tried his best to offer him the first time, and finally for The hero sacrificed heroically.

Caucasian men should also be transgender, support lgbt, animal protection, etc. By the way, it is better for white men to have a black lesbian girlfriend as his life mentor. After this set, Oscar Grand Slam directly!
Then someone pointed out: This is "Mr. Butterfly" played by Zun Long!
However, the role of Zunlong is still feminine, and it is an expansion of white people's prejudice against Asia. Even yellow men are also feminine, and the role of Gong is still a white man...

One day, if you are really free, you can make a version according to this idea!
Forget it, let's write a small composition and praise "The Return of the Great Sage".

"The Return of the Great Sage is about to be released. I'm very excited. Three years ago, I took over the production of The Return of the Great Sage...in fact, I just gave them money so that they don't have to worry about creating..."

"Two days ago, they sent me the full version. I watched it... The rhythm is a bit out of balance, but it doesn't stop me from liking it!"

"After all, I haven't seen this monkey on screen in too many years!"

"Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, has a body like black iron, blazing eyes, immortality and 72 transformations, a somersault, it will be a hundred and eight thousand miles!"

"He was the first hero I knew. Unfortunately, after reading "Journey to the West", his merits and virtues were consummated, and he became a fighting Buddha and a Buddha! I don't understand why the first half of the book is full of joy and hatred, and makes a big disturbance in the heavenly palace. , became a Buddha in the second half? I'm very disappointed..."

"Later, when I grew up, I felt that the monkey did the right thing. Look at his brothers, they were either taken as mounts, or died under magic weapons and iron rods. You have 72 changes, your golden hoop It’s [-] catties, so what? You can’t get out of Wuzhi Mountain, and you can’t escape from the Three Realms! Becoming a Buddha and joining the system is already a very good destination!”

"Every one of us is the same. When we were young, we were full of yearning for the world, and they were all beautiful yearnings. We fantasized that when we grow up, we will be able to stand alone and do something great... After stepping into society, we found it cruel. Life After smoothing our edges and corners, it would be nice to survive and buy!"

"What is growing up? Growing up is the process of slowly discovering and admitting one's mediocrity!"

"The best thing about the movie "The Return of the Great Sage" is that it releases the wild monkey in our mind. At the end of the movie, the Great Sage returns. Three thousand six hundred catties of golden cudgels, smoldering armor of copper and stone..."

"Who are you? Monkey King Monkey King!!"

"I hope that many people will take their children to watch this movie, point to the big horse monkey and say: 'Look, this is the superhero in the eyes of parents (mom)! His name is Monkey King Monkey King!'"

"Finally, "The Return of the Great Sage" will be released tomorrow, I hope everyone will support it!"
