Chapter 1043. Tap water? (Down)

The box office rise of "The Return of the Monkey King" bucked the trend and attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

Generally, this situation is mostly due to the emergence of a certain "explosion point" that drives the movie's box office.

This was not difficult to check, and soon someone discovered that "The Return of the Great Sage" had unknowingly occupied the circle of friends of many young and middle-aged people.

The origin is the official video account of "The Autumn of Picking Up Light", which updated a "micro-documentary" produced by the animation of "The Return of the Great Sage".

In this documentary, many behind-the-scenes moments of the film are recorded in detail.

At the beginning of the project of "The Return of the Great Sage", Ye Zhiqiu took the script and held a meeting with everyone in the studio.

Yang Jie, the gray-haired director of "Journey to the West" who is highly respected in the industry, had a lively discussion with a group of young people without any airs.

Hundreds of beautifully drawn manuscripts depict how the final characters in the play came to be...

What’s even more shocking is that in the play, the scene where the Monkey King releases his seal and transforms was made with extreme special effects down to every hair strand.

After these tidbits were released, they quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens.

"This is a well-produced domestic animation!"

"I cried to death. They also found the seniors who produced "Havoc in Heaven" at Huahai Art Factory to cooperate!"

"As a forty-year-old middle-aged man, I actually felt a bit familiar when I saw the fighting style at the beginning. It wasn't until I saw this video that I remembered that it was really full of childhood memories. "

"Damn it, that cool transformation scene at the end cost nearly 1200 million yuan!"

"I'm the envy of people in the animation industry. The production level of 'The Autumn of Light' is definitely the first echelon in the world, and it's not willing to burn money. It's so awesome."

"What impressed me most was what Ye Zhiqiu said during the meeting - this is our Chinese superhero!"

"I originally wanted to watch "Galactic Messenger 2", but now I have changed to "The Return of the Great Sage"! Just because of their dedication, it is worth supporting!"

Immediately afterwards, the popularity quickly transferred from online platforms such as Weibo to social media.

I don’t know when it started, but a topic called “Owe our own superhero a movie ticket” spread in WeChat Moments.

Many netizens went to the cinema one after another and after watching "The Return of the Great Sage", they posted a photo of them holding movie tickets.

“We owe our very own superhero a movie ticket – pay it off!”

Moments, a relatively private social media, may not have the same breadth of communication as Weibo, but the depth of communication is better.

This is just like "the first cup of milk tea in autumn". If you see a blogger posting on Weibo, you may not drink it yourself, but if a friend you know drinks it and posts it to Moments, then Things are different.

Her husband bought it for her, so I definitely can’t miss it too!

Probably because of this mentality, the single-day box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" has remained at a high level for several days in a row. Even on the first day after the May Day holiday, even "Battlefield of Fire" dropped sharply to barely exceed 1.3 million. At that time, "The Return of the Great Sage" also won million box office in one fell swoop, topping the single-day box office list.

As soon as this result came out, the entire film and television industry was confused again.

This cartoon is not only a Hollywood blockbuster, but also a double-actor!

In the first week of its release, the cumulative box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" has reached 8.7 million, and it is a sure thing to break 10 billion.

However, a big tree will inevitably attract wind, and there have been many doubts on the Internet.

First of all, many anti-fans questioned that "The Return of the Great Sage" must have hired trolls to build momentum, otherwise how could it have such an abnormal box office performance? Some people even ridiculed these trolls as "rescuemen invited by monkeys."

Regarding this kind of doubt, the "Autumn of Picking Up Light" studio, including Ye Zhiqiu's supporters, has experienced it many times.

Even for a work like "That Rabbit", a lot of people criticize it. Isn't it strange?

In the past, they might have had a debate, but now they seemed to be "looking away", and instead they would just go along with it.

"um, yes!"

"Well, we all are."

"Yes, yes, I am a water soldier, the kind that comes from tap water."

"Hahaha, the running water is out, isn't it?"

Soon, the word "tap water" spread throughout the Internet, and more and more netizens who spontaneously promoted "The Return of the Great Sage" joined the "tap water" bandwagon.

The "tap water incident" spread to the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The reporter who had been waiting for many days finally seized the opportunity at the door, blocked Ye Zhiqiu, and asked him for his opinion on the matter.

In this regard, Ye Zhiqiu's answer was very domineering and he asked directly.

"Do you think I need to hire a navy?"

Many reporters laughed dryly. To be honest, they didn't believe it either.

First, with Ye Zhiqiu's "straightforward" character, it is indeed unlikely that he would do this. Second, this type of mass propaganda with such wide coverage cannot be accomplished by just hiring some trolls.

Otherwise, various film crews have already done this, and the effect is better than how much money is spent on advertising!

A reporter immediately asked, "So, what do you think is the key to the success and popularity of "The Return of the Great Sage"? Can you tell me?"

This was a serious question, and Ye Zhiqiu also thought about it seriously for a few seconds.

"I think there are two main points. The first is the power of classics. This film is adapted from a famous book, and it also has classic film and television works such as "Journey to the West" and "Havoc in Heaven". It has already accumulated many fans, so The audience will be able to adapt to new works much faster."

"Secondly, it is the role of 'feelings'. When making this work, Director Yang and Teacher Li in the studio, Huang Shiguang, the person in charge of 'Autumn of Light', and all the staff were actually working on it with full feelings and passion. of."

"As long as the children who grew up in China, who doesn't have the Monkey King complex? In fact, every young man has a Monkey King in his heart. He is the unparalleled hero who descends from the sky on auspicious clouds, who wears a red robe and fights ten The invincible God of War of Ten Thousand Heavenly Soldiers.”

"We feel that Monkey King is a hero that belongs to Chinese children. No matter how many years he goes through, he should be remembered again and again. Therefore, we have tried our best to do our best. When the audience feels it, they will naturally go Support you."

Ye Zhiqiu's words made many reporters nod their heads.

"Last question, some people on the Internet say that "The Return of the Great Sage" is another pinnacle of domestic animation. What do you think?"

"First of all, I'm very grateful to netizens for their support." Ye Zhiqiu replied, "But, personally, I don't like the term 'peak of national comics' very much."

"From the beginning of its creation, the goal of 'The Autumn of Light' was not to become the pinnacle of Chinese comics."

"Our goal is to hope that one day, China Animation will no longer be noticed because of the label of 'domestic', but will be powerful enough to make others forget what is domestic and not domestic, and let the world know: there is a group of creators here who stand upright. On the world stage, compete with outstanding works from all over the world!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also applauded and sighed with gusto as they watched Ye Zhiqiu being interviewed with great interest.

Look, what you say is so domineering!

When it comes to showing off, it’s our director Xiaoye who is the best!
