China Entertainment Eunuch

Chapter 87 "Journey to the West: Origin"

The audiences nowadays are not stupid, they don’t easily believe that you just spend money to buy a few actors to laugh or cry when they order a screening, and edit them out and put them on the Internet to publicize how funny and moving the screening is. of this routine operation.

Even after a long period of publicity in this way, the audience will be even more disgusted.

The heroine of the movie "My Heart Is Flying" is played by Meng Meiqi from 456. She claims to have 2000 million fans, and even publicized that a large number of fans have been supporting her during the screening, but 500 days after the release, The box office is only [-] million, not even enough for publicity.

Even though the film is produced by Xu Zheng, starring actor Xia Yu, and the prototype is an Olympic champion, smart audiences still don't buy it, and they lose even their pants.

It can only be said to be sad (gan) heart (de) sick (piao) mad (liang)!
In my hometown, "A Chinese Journey to the West" is divided into "Moonlight Treasure Box" and "The Marriage of the Great Sage". It was released in the Greater Bay Area and the Mainland in 95. The box office was a hit, and the box office in the Greater Bay Area was the best. But it only recovers the cost; Taiwan’s box office made filmmakers doubt Xing Yeh’s “40 million box office appeal”; the box office in the mainland, especially in the north, is terrible. The huge Kyoto only sold [-] yuan. It was even decided to take it offline two days after its screening to avoid further losses.

If it weren't for the popularity of colleges and universities two years later, the two films, which have a total of nearly one million ratings on Douban, and ranked 250th and 15th on the Douban Movie Top 36 list, would have almost disappeared.

And Peking University is one of the many universities that praised "A Chinese Journey to the West".

In the 90s, there were many vendors selling discs outside the South Gate, East Gate, and West Gate of Peking University. Because piracy was rampant, and discs with poor box office sales were even more difficult to sell, resulting in the largest number of "Journey to the West". To spread.

Especially at the beginning and graduation of each year, "Journey to the West" will be screened in the auditorium.

It was not until 08 that it had to be canceled due to copyright issues.

And for so many years, many people like to change their online avatars into Zhizunbao, and it was also spread during this period.

Zhou Zun's operation is nothing more than allowing "A Chinese Journey to the West" to meet with Peking University students earlier.

Since you already know the approach, why take a detour?

Just like the topic of some elementary school students, a pen is five yuan, and you give the boss 55 yuan, how much does the boss ask you, some elementary school students directly said astonishingly: since I have a piece of five yuan and a piece of fifty yuan , why not just give five yuan?

After Zhou Zun finished speaking, he looked seriously at Master Xing and Uncle Da, looking forward to their reply.

"This idea is very good, I think we can give it a try." Master Xing listened to Zhou Zun's words.

He also feels that "A Chinese Journey to the West" is more profound, and maybe a group of highly educated intellectuals can really watch it when it is screened, so as to expand the publicity and attract more audiences.

Uncle Da also nodded slowly.

They've never tried it before, but there's nothing wrong with trying.

Zhou Zun was about to speak when Master Xing continued, "When can the script for the second part be written?"

He desperately hoped to shoot both of them in one go.

"Don't worry, just wait!"

Zhou Zun thought for a while, and said, "If the box office is good after the release, maybe we can shoot a prequel first."

"Prequel?"

"What the hell?"

Master Xing and Uncle Da were dumbfounded.

Since "A Chinese Journey to the West" became popular, there have been many film and television dramas with this theme on the Internet. It is no surprise that all of them are hype, and each one is worse than the other.

"A Chinese Journey to the West III" directed by Liu Zhenwei, starring Tang Yan and Han Geng.

"A Chinese Journey to the West: Love You for 1 Years" starring Huang Zitao.

There are even more wonderful "A Dream Westward Journey", "A Chinese Journey to the West: Supreme Treasure", "A Chinese Story of Daughter", "Journey to the West: The Marriage of a Great Sage", both in name and content are inseparable from "A Chinese Journey to the West".

All of these are hard to describe, each one is forced to sell feelings, whether it is the quality of the film, the box office, or even the acting skills of the actors are a mess.

After that, the theme of Journey to the West became even more popular.

"Havoc in Heaven" starring Donnie Yen, "Three Dozens of Bones" and "Nation of Daughters" starring Aaron Kwok.

Including "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" launched by Master Xing himself.

However, only the anime "The Return of the Great Sage" came out of it, which not only scored 9.57 at the box office, but also got a high score of 8.3 on Douban.

The prequel Zhou Zun mentioned is not all the above movies, but "A Chinese Journey to the West: Origin".

This is an online drama, but relying on the background of its peers, it still got a passing score on Douban.

The editing is top-notch. Unfortunately, due to the time limit of the online movie and the lack of investment, all young actors are invited to star in it. The special effects are not even worth three points. If all these shortcomings are removed, I believe the score will definitely be higher. high.

Zhou Zun drank a glass of water and began to talk: "In the prequel, the story happened 500 years ago before the disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. At this time, Qingxia and Zixia were not born together. They were the sun and moon gods sitting in front of the Buddha. The wick of the lamp, two wicks, are intertwined with each other, one is burned, the other is enlightened, and Zixia is the one destined to be burned, only by finding the destined lamplighter and letting him pull out the sword, can she change her Miserable fate.

With the help of the Moonlight Box, Zixia knows that her lamplighter is the Monkey King who will make trouble in the Heavenly Palace 500 years later.

With a sound of pineapple jackfruit, she traveled through time and space and came to the world.

It's a pity that the Supreme Treasure here is not Monkey King, nor is it the leader of the ax gang. He has no boundless mana, let alone 72 transformations. dough.

Looking at Zixia who was full of anticipation, Zhizunbao couldn't pull out the sword with all his strength.

He is not her lamplighter, he is not Monkey King, he does not have a golden cudgel, he only has a rolling pin.

However, such an ordinary person accompanied Zixia without hesitation on the road of self-salvation.

Yellow sand is all over the sky, love and hate are intertwined like clouds and smoke.

This time, Supreme Treasure was the first to be tempted.

Along the way, he always wanted to help Zixia do something, but he was just an ordinary person, as an ordinary person, how could he help the gods? "

"And then?" Master Xing became interested and listened fascinated.

Even the other staff members of the crew came together.

Although they are only filming the first one, Zhou Zun told Master Xing about the whole movie, and Master Xing also told the staff for better shooting, so everyone knows the story of Zhizunbao and Zixia, Naturally, I want to know more about the prequel story of the hero and heroine from Zhou Zun.
