CCTV Huaguo Film Report Studio.

The host Qin Qing continued to ask: "Many people on the Internet said that many scenes in "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" were borrowed from foreign animation movies. What do you think of this?"

This problem does exist.

Li Yi smiled and said: "Movies have developed to the present, to put it bluntly, if you want to search for any movie seriously, you will find similarities, so there are some similarities with other works. It’s true, some of them just can’t be avoided at all, because there are too many predecessors’ works there, and if you design with your eyes completely closed, you will bump into them.”

"Actually, I really don't understand some people's thinking. I have read some comments. In some people's eyes, as long as it is an animation film advertised as a national comic, it seems that everything must be completely original. As long as there are similarities, then they are imitators, but when it comes to Hollywood movies, their attitudes are completely different!"

"Of course, this is also human nature. It is impossible for us to ask everyone to like any movie."

Li Yi is different from the director of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" in his previous life. He doesn't have as many difficulties as the other party. He is also more direct and less polite in dealing with such issues.

In fact, the problem of double standards is especially common in China.

Usually when there are one or two popular and well-received movies with good word-of-mouth and box office, there will always be some under the banner of "reasonable", "objective" and "good for Huaguo movies", and then criticize all kinds of movies. Picking.

What's interesting is that for some Hollywood blockbusters, which have been smashed in the country, or even received low scores by fans, these people often give a high score, and then analyze the advantages of the film in various ways, and finally come up with a The conclusion is not that other people's movies are not good, but that domestic audiences lack the corresponding level.

To put it simply, it is stepping up and down, because otherwise, it is impossible to highlight their differences.

And let's take the matter of feelings as an example. In the local Hollywood market, the movie "Warcraft" actually had a poor reputation at the box office. At that time, it was popular in China, but a large number of people gave out instead: "The feelings are still It is used to sell money, but I am willing this time!" Such a title came.

In fact, selling emotions and emotional marketing is really not exclusive to domestic films, it is just a marketing strategy.

The Spring Festival special program of "Hua Guo Film Report" was launched on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

The report in this issue made many netizens applaud loudly.

The main reason is that when many directors face this kind of problem, they usually put their stance relatively low, and rarely go directly to such things.

But Li Yi was different, he just came up directly.

"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is hype, because this is what many audiences in Huaguo are eager for.

At the same time, he directly criticized a group of double-standard parties. During the interview, Li Yi also directly cited some movies as examples.

Soon netizens looked for the reviews of those movies, and it turned out that they really were.

And what's more interesting is that many people with this obvious double-standard attitude are actually the same group of people, which is even more interesting.

Regarding what Li Yi said in the show: "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is standing on the cusp!It is because, in our era, although there is no shortage of superheroes on the big screen, what is lacking is a superhero of our own!

This can be said to be widely recognized by the public.

"Director Dog is really a dog, but he did speak to our hearts."

"Actually, what we hate is not sentimental marketing, but movies that export bad things to us in the name of sentimentality."

"There is nothing wrong with sentimental marketing. If you look at movies all over the world, why not do a movie that can do sentimental marketing?"

"Although the success of "The Return of the Great Sage" is influenced by feelings, the premise is that the movie is really good, okay?"

"I looked for the historical reviews of those double-standard parties. It's really hard to describe. It's really like what Director Dog said, whichever domestic movie has a high box office and a good reputation, they will pour cold water on it, and which Hollywood movie has a bad box office. If the word of mouth is bad, they will give high marks, it is really amazing!"

"Some people can't stand up after kneeling for a long time."

"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" has not been affected by the negative reviews of that small group of people. As Li Yi said, the return of the Great Sage can be said to be popular.It is a movie standing on the cusp.

It's not that the movie is what everyone expects, but that the theme of "The Return of the Great Sage" is what everyone expects.

It's like a film review on the popular film review website that was topped and liked by many netizens.

""Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage": This is an era that needs heroes!"

"Quoting the poster slogan of "The Return of the Great Sage": "They said that I am dead, those who are greedy for the new, those who miss the old, those who talk nonsense in a serious manner, those who are alive, those who are rotten, those who dare not start let alone end, Yang Feng Yes, insidious, fans are from tomorrow, tampering with yesterday's, the origins and whereabouts are all vague, they are willing to hear that I die.Do they also include you? ——This is an era that needs heroes.

This is an era when heroes are not discovered, not understood, not believed.We have heard too many stories, encountered too many viewpoints, encountered too many values, and our secular taste is too strong, but we seem to be hoping for something and looking for something in this chaotic and muddling through. But couldn't catch it.It turns out that it is the hero complex in our hearts.The return of the hero is destined to ignite the last flame buried in the depths of the ashes in our hearts.

""Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", it can be said that "Havoc in Heaven" is the glory of the starting point of the hero Monkey King; I think everyone has described a hearty "Havoc in Heaven" in their hearts: La Raising the banner of Monkey King, wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, wearing a golden armor with locks on his body, walking on cloud shoes on lotus root silk, and holding a Ruyi golden cudgel, he beat the heavenly soldiers to pieces, and won the battle with Nezha Yang Jian Compassionate and sympathetic, made the Jade Emperor furious, and made the Taishang Laojun feel distressed, more qualified than anyone else to shout "I want this sky, I can't cover my eyes anymore; I want this land, I can't bury my heart anymore!" ;I want all living beings to understand what I mean; I want all the Buddhas to disappear in smoke! "Such heart-warming words. Isn't that what a hero is like in the beginning? He is not afraid of authority, fearless to kill, has boundless mana, and lives the life he wants. How high-spirited.

If there is only the majestic and invincible Monkey King at the beginning, then such a "hero" is a bit young, superficial and boring.Punching and kicking when things go wrong, and being proud and doing whatever one wants when things go well, such a hero can attract rebellious teenagers, but it is difficult to become the spark that lingers in our hearts.We don't know how Sun Wukong at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain spent the unsettling five hundred years.When Jiang Liuer accidentally removed the shackles from his body, we could feel the moment of joy when he regained his freedom—running on the grass, shuttling through the forest, jumping in the ravine, and finally regained his life. breath.However, this is only for a moment, after which he will face the ensuing heroic loneliness called "powerless".Loneliness is the struggle between the glory of the past and the loneliness of the present.

What a hero who has lost his divine power and aura wants to do most is to curl up in his own world and protect himself well.His heart is wrapped in layers of cocoons, he sees through and underestimates everything outside, loses his sense of freshness to the world, loses enthusiasm for people and things, he doesn't want to cause trouble, and doesn't want to be burdened.Isn't this just the image of an uncle who has been tossed and tossed in his youth, and who can see through it in middle age?We can't say that the great sage who chooses to look at the world with a cold eye has no blood in his heart, but we have to admit that there are countless "heroes of the past" under such circumstances, the seedlings of blood in their hearts were sealed until they died, and the fireworks in the world The heroism under him never saw the light of day.Fortunately, there was an ignorant and innocent child like Jiang Liu'er who led the great saint, who aroused the suppressed blood little by little, regained the dusty original intention, and finally broke the seal that trapped him.

At that moment, the dharma seal was shattered into ashes, the armor was put back on the golden body, the golden cudgel shook the mountains and rivers, and the light was so bright that it dimmed the sky and the earth.The only one who can regenerate oneself is always oneself; and the brilliance after rebirth is more intriguing than the brilliance at the beginning.

The moment the Great Sage took out the golden cudgel from his ear, countless people should be as excited as me.Knowing that this was the inevitable end, he still heaved a sigh of relief—fortunately, he came back, and he did not become an ordinary man in adversity, but a phoenix nirvana in adversity.After all, the great sage is the great god, and he has returned with light.And what we want is this undying light. .”
