why?Just look at how these professional and ordinary audiences commented.

"Vanity Fair" Katie Rich: Although this is a very classic oriental mythology story, the person who learns from the scriptures defeats many monsters along the way.He's narration, graphics, and fighting are as good as ever, but I personally don't know much about Eastern religions, and I can't understand this kind of value, so I can only give it 2.5 points.

"The Times" Kevin Maher: He is the best director I have ever seen outside of Hollywood. His films are very exciting in terms of narrative and picture, and they are always thoughtful. This is a rare aspect.However, it is difficult for mainstream Western audiences to understand the connotation of this movie about oriental mythology, but the screen and fighting are still very exciting, and I give it 3 points.

Leonard Maldin, "Leinardine.com": I have tried to understand the mythology system of the East, but I am sorry, it is very difficult.Therefore, from a technical point of view, the narrative of the movie is complete as a whole, the characterization is successful, the special effects are not to be criticized, and the scenes are grand and imaginative.So, give 2.5 points.

"Christian Website" Christie Lemire: I can't understand the Eastern religious thoughts expressed by He, let yourself die just to save others?this?Well, it is estimated that no one will accept such a stupid way.Apart from this point, the others are quite lively and beautiful, especially the 3D effect. I think He has already learned the essence of Hollywood, so give it 1.5 points.

"Global Aviation" Adam Naman: This may be a movie suitable for watching on an airplane, because the characters in it can always fly around in the sky. I don't understand why a person can transform into a different creature. Where did their physical bodies go?Let yourself die to save someone who wants to eat you?I'm sorry.This kind of values ​​is distorted, I can only give 1 point.

……

This is the mainstream evaluation of most professional film critics, but the evaluation of ordinary audiences is another matter.

Adam Fili: "It's visually stunning, and the storyline is unstoppable. The biggest mistake I made was to watch it with my children. They have fallen in love with it completely. They kept asking me why this monkey man There is such a skill.

I was so shocked to see it in the cinema. , I don’t know what words to use. The Monkey King is so cool. It’s just that the monk among them was very hateful at first. People really let me see that I misunderstood him... 5 points for the movie, I like it so much."

jasonlock-11608: "interesting fantasy adventure, I have to admit that Ho once again captured my heart, this movie is so cool. A monkey can easily lift the mountain on him, and he can easily Killed a huge tiger, and an oriental dragon. The coolest thing is beating a pig, and a sand man? I was so sad when he was misunderstood by the monk and drove him away. However, in the end he came back to save the monk and let People are surprised that the woman turned out to be a big skeleton, wow, this setting is great. Give it 4.5 points."

In other words, the influence of "Journey to the West" in Asia is very large. After all, this is a classic story that has been circulated in Asia for hundreds of years. He Fang's "Three Beats of the Bones" is really not bad on the whole. very good.

"[Three Dozens of Bone Demons]'s premiere box office breaks [-] million domestically, and the world is doing well"

"Comments gathered from all sides, [Three Dozens of Bone Demons] generally responded excellently"

"The new height of the movie box office, breaking [-] million in a single day should be predicted"

"Asian countries are generally optimistic about the story of [Journey to the West], telling traditional stories well is a new way out for Chinese films"

"It turns out that [Three Dozens of Bone Demons] is not a bad movie that some people listen to"

……

Early in the morning, all the media began to sing well of "Three Dozens of Bones", because there are some things that you can't cover up even if you want to.

Some domestic viewers may be deeply influenced by the TV drama version of "Journey to the West" and feel that "Three Dozens of Bones" does not meet expectations and is a bad movie. However, the overseas box office of "Three Dozens of Bones" proves that this appropriate adaptation does meet the international market.

As soon as the global first-day box office and relevant overseas comments came out, the propaganda team of Tuanhuo Culture did not rest, directly took screenshots and translated these things and threw them on the domestic Internet.

Let those who criticize "Three Dozens of Bones" see what people outside think, this method is very useful, because people in China now believe what foreigners say.

You can't convince a Chinese even if you tell him to drool, but as long as a foreigner says a word, they will be convinced.

Even if it was their criticism, Tuanhuo Culture did not filter it out, but took screenshots and translated them all.

"Wow, it turns out that this is how Westerners view He Fang and "Three Dozens of Bones". It's so novel."

"Haha, the comment of 'man, monkey, pig, and sand blue man's fantasy journey together, and giant skeleton's spiritual salvation' is really laughable. The foreigner gave me a new understanding of the characters in "Journey to the West", the giant The redemption of the skeleton, I can't laugh anymore."

"Most professionals criticize religion, philosophy, and themes. They can't understand this kind of philosophy, so they criticize. But there are also things that they agree with. The narration, special effects, and performances are still good. I think they are very good. Be objective and unbiased."

"That is, the so-called professional film critics in China just take people's money and make random comments to see how objective they are. They just say what they don't understand, and they agree with what they think is excellent. It's not like a group of domestic film critics. People's mindless criticism is to criticize "Three Dozens of Bones" from head to toe, and then prove that it is a big bad movie. In fact, I watched it, and there are indeed some flaws, but to I would never agree with saying that this is a big bad movie.”

"The children of foreigners also like to watch Monkey King. Do they know what is going on with Monkey King?"

"Some things don't require too much in-depth study. As long as the characters come out, everyone will like them. The image of Monkey King and the simple way of defeating people will make children like it at first sight, just like children watching the Olympic Games. Terman is the same as Transformers."

Of course, in addition to those who positively interpret the international box office and public opinion, there are also some people who insist that "Three Dozens of Bones" is a bad movie. There is nothing we can do about such people, and such people must be allowed to exist.

Because you can’t get rid of it, learn to live with it.

This kind of person is like... He Fang saw a French lady who had been in China for many years on the Internet in another time and space.

She heard Chinese netizens asking her to sing a song called "Eileen", she was stunned, she had never heard of it.Then Chinese netizens said, how could I not have heard of "Eileen"?The most famous French pop song in the world, many Chinese love to listen to it.

The French lady said that she had never heard of it, and then she checked it out. It turned out that it was the theme song of a French TV series, and the filming of this TV series was terrible. Many people in France had never watched it.

So few French people have heard the song "Eileen", they can't sing it, and they don't think it sounds good. It's just a saliva song with no connotation. ", because "Xiaofang" is still very popular in China at least, while "Eileen" is not popular in France.

As a result, when the French lady said this, some Chinese people became anxious.

why?
Because we praised your stinky feet so enthusiastically, fooling many Chinese into liking French songs, but you said that no one listens to this song in France?
That won't work, doesn't that mean we flattered the horse's leg?
So some netizens scolded this French lady: "I think it sounds good. We don't need foreigners to point out our preferences. We have independent thinking and hobbies, and we will not follow any famous ethnic groups or so-called trends."

Then the French lady was dumbfounded, and she quickly explained: "I didn't tell you what music to enjoy, I just stated that I really can't sing this song, and it's not popular in France."

It can be seen from this that some people will really be immersed in their own cognition and cannot extricate themselves. He thinks "Illian" is the best French song in the world. Bad movie, that is.

……

While the public opinion was buzzing, the crew of "Three Attacks on the Bones" was also busy doing publicity in Tokyo. Today's activities were mainly held in Ginza and Tokyo University College of Art.

Ginza has TOHO Cinema, the largest movie theater in the island country, with 13 screening halls. At 11:30 noon, the crew of "Three Dozens of Bone Demons" went to the theater to do activities just in time for the end of the first show.

The young men and women in the island country are very excited to see He Fang, screaming non-stop. This is a man who can last for 30 minutes and has both talent and beauty. The women in the island country admire the strong, so they love the strong All men adore it.

"Mi Nasan Kong mud digging!" He Fang greeted the audience in Japanese, and he was learning it now. He used the Internet language ten years later to say that He Fang had mastered the traffic password, that is, in the local language Interacting with fans increases their intimacy.

"He Fang, I love you!"

"Ah, He Fang, I want to have a monkey with you!"

But He Fang didn't understand a word, he just waved to everyone with a sweet smile.

Islanders respect He Fang very much, because according to the relationship between the superiority and inferiority of the island country, He Fang belongs to the kind of national-level director, and that requires great respect.

"He Sang, you are the idol of many movie fans in the island country, because you are the light of Asia and a role model for young filmmakers. What do you think of the movies in the island country?" The host immediately threw He Fang a difficult problem.

"The island country has many excellent filmmakers, especially film masters. It can be said that it is the country with the most film masters in Asia. And the island country also has many excellent film stories and unique film styles."

"For example, in terms of film style, the island country's unique low-camera and slow narrative style is very good, which is difficult for other countries to learn. In addition, in terms of animation films, this is unique in the world, and even the United States can only look up to it. , which is worthy of admiration and study.”

He Fang boasted, of course, this is also true.

"Wow, how do you think the island nation's movies can't make blockbuster movies like Hollywood and your movies?" The host then asked.

"This is mainly related to the habit of thinking and the accepted film shooting technology, as well as a country's film technology reserve. Of course, there will also be a relationship between whether a country's culture allows breakthroughs and attempts."

"I personally think that filmmakers in island countries pay more attention to factors such as human nature, family affection, life, and reality, rather than the cultural atmosphere of new technology innovation and experimentation."

"In fact, if the island country can continue to make animation movies stronger and bigger, and maintain its own style of narrative, it will also be part of the diversity of world movies. It doesn't have to be like Hollywood, and it doesn't have to be like my movies."

After He Fang finished speaking, there was thunderous applause.

"How much do you know about island movies?" the host asked.

"When we study film, we must study island country films, such as Akira Kurosawa, this is a must, directors such as Nagisa Oshima, Takeshi Kitano, Kenji Mizoguchi, Kinji Fukasaku, Shohei Imamura, Jun Miyazaki, etc. have all had works. I understand, and some of them have been studied and analyzed in depth.”

He Fang's words made the audience applaud warmly. It is a kind of pride for a new director in the world to know so much about island films.

"Then have you ever thought about cooperating with island countries?" the host asked.

"Of course there is. I bought the film and television adaptation rights of two animations in the island country. One will be filmed at the end of this year and the other will be filmed next year."

"Wow, okay, is there any actor you want to cooperate with?" The host continued to ask.

"There will be. I signed an appointment with Fox to direct the new sequel of "X-Men". I suggested that an island actress should be used, but they haven't started auditioning yet. I'm looking forward to it."

"Wow...well, I believe He Sang will be a good friend of the island nation's films, so let's talk about "Three Dozens of Bones", why did you make this film? You must know that "Journey to the West" is a classic of Asian people , aren’t you afraid that it won’t be a good shot?”

……

The movie continues to be hot, and the promotion is also in full swing. The news of He Fang's itinerary will be reprinted by Tuanhuo Culture to the country, and the overseas popularity is used to maintain the domestic popularity. This is one of the methods they discussed.

That is to use the form of full coverage of "Three Dozens of Bones" so that audiences across Asia can always know the current progress of the film's promotion and its popularity.

Because of He Fang's familiarity with the films of the island country, and the signing of the copyright of two island countries and the cooperation with the actors of the island country, the movie fans of the whole island country are delighted to watch "Three Dozens of Bones".

Even, a female star volunteered to warm He Fang's bed to relieve He Fang's fatigue.

This actress, though, is that kind of actress.

When He Fang had to know that he was stunned and moved, but he couldn't say or do it!

　Today is 77, remember the history, don't forget the national humiliation! !
