The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 368

"What Monkey King, he's just a useless monkey!"

Although it is not an IMAX theater, the strong sense of oppression can still pass through the big screen to the auditorium.

Even Jiang Yong felt a suffocating sense of heaviness.

The background color of the picture is smeared with a layer of gloom, the mysterious energy is overwhelming, and the black smoke penetrating the sky is like a python.

It may be crying but not crying, smiling but not laughing, the voice is neither male nor female, ethereal and strange, transparent as jade, and hissing like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

"Good guy, if there are children in the theater, I'm afraid they will cry in fright and leave a psychological shadow..." When Jiang Yong was admiring the character image design and the obviously processed dubbing in the movie, he also pointed out I took a little effort to think about the adaptability of this movie to children.

There were no adults with children in this screening, so there was no crying as he imagined.

The atmosphere in the cinema hall was only silent and calm. It wasn't that the audience was indifferent, but they were all overwhelmed by the impact created by this 3D animation movie.

How majestic, bright, and rich the colors are at the beginning of the film, how gloomy, dull, and depressing it is now.

But it is not abrupt. The previous scene of the strange town is like a switch, a transitional chapter of two background colors, allowing the audience to follow the plot and slide into the darkness naturally. Into the emotions of the movie, worried about the fate of Jiang Liuer and the Great Sage.

Seeing this, Jiang Yong once again raised his evaluation of the movie in his heart.

Originally, he always deducted one point first for all the movies and TV dramas related to the big IP, especially the Journey to the West IP.

Because it was too clever.

He was amazed by the painting style and technology shown at the beginning of the film, but then he was slightly disappointed by the undisturbed plot and even the bridge with deep traces of routines.

Whether it is the joint adventure of Jiang Liuer, the Great Sage, and the pig demon trio, or the thrilling difficulties that seem to have passed five levels, plus gags, humorous and sensational plots are interspersed.

Although it's not fair to say that, Hollywood has adopted this formula and got a pass or even excellent, but there are not many domestic "formulas" that can implement this formula well.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that this animated film was produced by DreamWorks.

If it is another company, no matter which domestic company can produce this kind of aesthetic online, the technology is excellent, and the formula is applied without mistakes, he will praise it with both hands and feet.

But who let DreamWorks' last animated film be "Your Name"?

Excellent technology, dreamy painting style, and smooth narrative are not enough. He also wants to see stories that are unexpected, unexpected, and surprising.

Such an excessive expectation seems reasonable once it is placed on DreamWorks.

However, although he didn't see the surprise he expected to get, Jiang Yong still has to praise the film for its perfection in all aspects after setting the expectations of the movie.

This unique style of combining shadow puppetry, Chinese opera, traditional Chinese painting and richly colored Western oil painting is something he has never seen before in [-]D animation.

And this style of painting is so suitable for the theme of Journey to the West. The expressiveness, impact and oppression of this world full of monsters and ghosts cannot be expressed by all live-action film and television dramas.

It is possible to exaggerate and distort the background and the characters abstractly, so as to realize the expression of the wild, treacherous and gloomy worldview.

"If DreamWorks could use the style of "The Return of the Great Sage" to make "Lion and Camel Kingdom" during the Spring Festival last year, it would be perfect!" Jiang Yong had such thoughts in his mind for no reason.

What surprised and admired him the most was that the plot of "The Return of the Great Sage" has passed most of the plot. It is obvious that this is an animated film suitable for all ages, but DreamWorks has the courage to take the risk of dissuading children. Set up the dark plot of the second half.

Even as an adult, he feels oppressed by the image of the big boss and the atmosphere of his appearance, let alone children?
In the novel, words such as monstrous energy and horror in the three worlds made him feel it in this animated film.

Then there is the third bigger fighting scene in the movie - the first scene is between the Great Sage and the Mountain God, and the second is between the Great Sage and the one who was enslaved by the Demon King and sent to hunt down Jiang Liuer and his party. A fight between pig demons.

And this fighting scene, in terms of intensity, can be called the pinnacle of movie performances so far, and it is also the most tragic and depressing.

The great sage, whose mana was sealed by the Tathagata seal, and the canopy marshal, who turned into a pig demon, were struggling under the attack of the Chaos Demon King.

As an ancient alien species, and devoured most of the canopy marshal's mana, the power of the demon king is not something that two bloody heroes can resist.

But the Chaos Demon King didn't seem to be willing to end the battle quickly. He seemed to deliberately humiliate the Great Sage, and he seemed to like the feeling of stepping on the Great Sage.

Even after hundreds of years, the prestige of Monkey King is still being praised among humans and all monsters, and the prestige is getting louder and louder.

The Chaos Demon King seemed to regard this fight as the handover between the new king and the old king, humiliating the Monkey King, seeing his futile anger, and his embarrassing figure was the ritual sense of the new king's ascension to the throne.

The pig demon had already lost the ability and will to resist, only Sun Wukong was still unyielding and launched a futile attack on the demon king, and then was repelled by the chaos demon king, collapsing the mountain peak and smashing into the ground.

"Hahahaha... After I swallow the alchemy pills made by these five hundred boys and girls, I will go to Huaguo Mountain to send your monkeys and grandchildren to the underworld to reunite with you—hahahaha!"

This is without a doubt the darkest moment of the entire film.

The monkey's tireless charge is like Don Quixote's charge towards the windmill. He is defending his promise to Jiang Liuer - to rescue five hundred virgins.

It also seemed to be defending the pride he once had, the unruly and war-fighting Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

But the Chaos Demon King slowly lost his original pleasure, his face sank like water, he realized that even though he had been suppressed for hundreds of years, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven still hadn't died.

He can surpass the prestige of the Monkey King, but he can't take away the power of the Monkey King, the power that can be sung for hundreds of years among thousands of monsters, the power that can be remembered by billions of yuan and passed down from generation to generation.

As long as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is there, it is impossible for all the monsters in the world to submit to him, and it is impossible for Dongsheng Shenzhou's trillion yuan to fall into obscurity forever and become the food of his demon kingdom.

Sun Houzi is not an obstacle to his establishment of the demon kingdom, but Monkey King is.

This made him angry and anxious, but the fire in his heart burned even more intensely.

He wants to kill Monkey King Monkey before he kills Monkey King!
The thick and sad melody of the cello lingers in the auditorium, making the audience already immersed in the darkness seem to be able to follow the music into the monkey's inner world.

In the end, hundreds of years of time are still traces left in the monkey's heart.

He is no longer that round, unruly, fearless stubborn stone, especially he has lost the mighty power to reach heaven and earth.

The monkey fell heavily to the ground, and its head was trampled under the demon king's feet. It seemed that it could no longer muster the strength to stand up again, or maybe it was tired and didn't want to struggle in vain.

The Monkey King was defeated 500 years ago, so why bother to make unnecessary resistance?What does the chaos in the world have to do with me when the demonic atmosphere reappears?

The monkey's half-opened eyes looked at the Monkey King puppet that fell to the ground not far away, and the puppet seemed to be looking at him too.

The pouring rain hit the puppet, and the water drops along the head and across the puppet's eyes, which were roughly sewn with stitches, seemed to be crying.

Jiang Yong, with sour eyes, tried his best to suppress the urge to burst into tears.

"It's all sensational music. Damn it, what kind of music is this? It looks like a cello? It matches well..."

Jiang Yong, who was trying to draw his attention away from the audio-visual, heard a sigh from the side: "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven is dead..."

Jiang Yong couldn't control the tears on the edge of his eyes any longer, and hastily reached out his hand to wipe his cheek in a concealed manner. At the same time as he put his hand down, he watched the turbulent scene on the big screen, but a sentence emerged in his mind strangely.

"I applaud Sun Dasheng today, only because the demon fog is back!"

In the silence of the world, only the little novice Jiang Liuer saw the great hero in his heart collapse to the ground, trampled under his feet, and there was no more movement.

Jiang Liu'er was distracted at first, then sad and resentful, resentful that this monster defeated the Monkey King in his mind.

Under the exclamation of the old monk, Jiang Liu'er picked up the bamboo cane that the old monk threw on the ground, held the bamboo pole, and sang loudly, imitating the resistance and charge of the monkeys again and again before, imitating Qi Qi on the shadow puppet stage. The majesty of the great sage.

"Monster! Eat my old grandson!"

The immature voice accompanied by the small figure rushed towards the Chaos Demon King on the torrential rain as if it had experienced an earthquake.

It came into the sight of the pig demon who had just climbed out of the rocks.

It was reflected in the eyes of the demon king who turned around in astonishment and then laughed.

Following the sound, he opened his eyes that were about to close again, and turned his head to look at Jiang Liuer's monkey eyes together with the demon king who retracted his feet from his head.

"Monkey King, Sun-Wu-Kong!"

"The body is like black iron, the eyes are golden! Immortality, and there are 72 transformations——"

"One somersault cloud is one hundred and eight thousand miles away!"

Jiang Liu'er's small body was flicked away by the laughing Chaos Demon King, passing the realization of the crowd, crossing the torrential rain, and falling into a distant cliff.

"Great Sage—"

With the immature shout, the drum beat suddenly!

Under Jiang Yong's scalp-numbing gaze, the demon king looked back in astonishment, only to see that the monkey had already stood up hunched over, and the chains on his arms were broken inch by inch.

In the picture, the ferocious monkey switches back and forth with a huge stubborn stone.

Then the monkey raised a golden light, rushed towards the sky, and plunged into the abyss!
The golden brilliance slowly rises from under the cliff with the louder and faster drumbeat.

The little novice was held in the arms of the monkey, and the eyes of the great sage did not have the fierceness of fighting against the heavenly soldiers and generals at the beginning of the film, nor the fierceness of fighting with the mountain gods and pig demons before.

It was peaceful, but there was a sea-like will and determination in the calm.

The great sage threw the little novice to the surprised and delighted pig demon.

The demon king turned from wild laughter to astonishment, and the astonishment turned into deepness, and the deepness subsided into ice-coldness.

The demon king roared, blowing away the torrential rain and the dark clouds.

With a wave of his sleeve, the ground cracks and landslides!

Huge boulders rose from the cracked ground and smashed towards the great sage standing in the air.

Before the huge meteorite approached the Great Sage, it seemed to be heated, and the whole body turned from black to red, and then the surface turned into magma, and exploded loudly.

A sudden high-pitched sound of electric guitar plucking exploded in the auditorium like a thunderbolt!

The magma was like rain, and the boulder debris, like a rain of red-hot magma, was attached to the monkey's body piece by piece from its ankles.

Amidst the high-pitched roar of the electric guitar, the phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, the basalt-like golden lock armor, and the scarlet cloak reappeared in the world after hundreds of years!
The monkey tilted his head slightly, put his finger in his ear, and slowly pulled out the radiant Ruyi Golden Cudgel from it.

The Great Sage is back!

Jiang Yong only felt an electric arc emanating from the Tianling Cap, penetrating his spinal cord and limbs, and there were several screams and even whistles in the theater!

Absolutely!
This [-]D animation full of shadow puppetry and traditional oriental aesthetics matches the electric guitar so well.

Amidst the high-pitched roar of the electric guitar, accompanied by the beat of the drums, Monkey King completed his transformation!

and return!
Jiang Yong has seen many transformations in film and television dramas and animation works.

But this transformation made his skin crawl all over.

In addition to the perfect foreshadowing, the perfect soundtrack and the perfect character image.

Also because he is Monkey King.

It's Monkey King!
Unbelievable, he rediscovered his dream Monkey King in an animated movie, and the Monkey King that made his whole body tingle with excitement is back!

Jiang Yong ushered in the last battle of the whole movie while being dumbfounded!
The Great Sage hangs and beats the Chaos Demon King.

Even if the Chaos Demon King returns to his original form, he will become an ancient alien species, a giant beast of heaven and earth!
The roaring speakers and the fierce fighting still couldn't bring Jiang Yong back to his thoughts. The scene of the return of the Great Sage accompanied by the passionate electronic music has been deeply engraved in the depths of his mind.

Until the lights come on, the Great Sage ends!
The sparse applause, exclamation and applause brought back his thoughts.

The Great Sage is back!

Sure enough, it is worthy of the return of the Great Sage!
"This is the pinnacle of domestic animation!"

The big brother who was applauding next to him was talking to himself excitedly, and seemed to be confirming with the film critics around him.

Jiang Yong let out a deep breath, nodded heavily, and joined the applause excitedly.

　You can refer to the bgm played by Wonder Woman for the soundtrack of the electric guitar for the transformation of the Great Sage. Anyway, this is what I imagined.
