When he came to Xingman again, Zhang Haiyang had been notified in advance and called all the real core members over.
Because Li Yi may not spend too much time interfering in "The Return of the Great Sage" this time. For this reason, he hopes to set the tone from the beginning.
What we are going to produce this time is an animated film with Chinese characteristics and full of oriental artistic aesthetics, which is completely different from "Wall-E".
Of course, that's not to say it's easier, but there is a big difference between the two.
"WALL-E" has always had a Western cultural flavor, but "The Return of the Great Sage" is a thoroughly Eastern-style hero's return story.
For this reason, Zhang Haiyang called all the core members over for a brainstorming session.
"I believe everyone is familiar with the Monkey King, the Monkey King. There is actually nothing special about today. I just had a whim and wanted to talk to you about what the Monkey King is like in your mind." Li Yi said with a smile. .
"Let me start by offering some advice." Zhang Haiyang said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Zhang Haiyang.
Zhang Haiyang seemed to be lost in memories.
"I remember that the first time I heard about the Monkey King, the Monkey King, was from the mouth of a storyteller on the radio at that time: Monkey King, the Monkey King, has a body like black iron, piercing eyes, immortality, seventy-two transformations, and a somersault cloud. Ah, it's a thousand miles away. At that time, I still remember that on my birthday, my dad whittled a stick for me, painted patterns on it, and it turned out to be a golden hoop stick. At that time, I was the best among my friends. Envy of people.
Later, the golden hoop broke, and I cried sadly for a long, long time! Now that I think about it, after so many years, I have received many gifts for birthdays, but I have never loved it as much as I did when I received the golden hoop.
In fact, when I was a child, I watched "Journey to the West" just to watch the Monkey King, the Monkey King. Five hundred years ago, he caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace. How could the Jade Emperor, King Li Tianwang, Erlang God, etc. be the opponents of the Monkey King? At that time, when I was chatting with my friends, the one thing I must talk about was Monkey King, the Monkey King.
But five hundred years after he was pinned under Wuzhi Mountain, I feel that the Monkey King in my heart is no longer there. The Monkey King in my heart has always been the unruly Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain. The Monkey King, not the Sun Wukong who wears the curse! "
After hearing Zhang Haiyang's words, everyone felt a slight sense of loss for some reason.
Where is the Monkey King who is trapped under the Wuzhi Mountain? That is each of us!
With Zhang Haiyang taking the lead, others soon revealed who they thought of the Monkey King.
"When I was a child, when I came home from kindergarten, I would stay in front of the TV early every time, waiting for the cartoon "Journey to the West" at 7 pm; as a naughty person, I could always watch the earliest TV series version of "Journey to the West" with my grandma. ""; there are comic books stacked in the bookcase, which describe the fascinating story of Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace...
Perhaps it is difficult for today's children to understand how moved names like "Sun Wukong" and "Monkey King" will bring to us. In fact, starting from the earliest TV series "Journey to the West" and the cry "Monkey Brother Monkey Brother" , these names are irreplaceable in our hearts, and that monkey has become the earliest real hero in our hearts.
But at that time, there were things that I didn’t understand. Why five hundred years ago, the Great Sage was able to poke holes in the heavens, but why five hundred years later, he was no longer the same Qi who killed gods and Buddhas when he met them. The Great Sage?
So, what does the Monkey King look like in my mind? I think I would say that it is the Monkey King of Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain who dares to raise the flag in the sky and write "The Monkey King"!
He is the arrogant Monkey King who dares to shoot up into the sky in anger, facing thousands of troops with a monkey and a stick, but can remain calm.
That was the Monkey King who was beaten out, and his illustrious reputation was beaten out with stick after stick. And when he was pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain, I remember that my friends and I all cried at that time. We cried so hard that we were extremely sad. .
How we hope that the Great Sage can overturn the mountain that is pressing on him and continue to fight against heaven and earth. Unfortunately, just like reality, not everything can go as we wish.
I think from about that time, the Monkey King in my mind was already dead, because if the real Monkey King wears a tightening curse, then he will no longer be the Monkey King we admire and admire. "
This veteran employee of Xingman, who was over thirty years old, was talking, but for some reason, his eyes became red.
"The Monkey King in my mind has a hairy face and a thunderous mouth. He has colorful flying clouds under his feet and a golden hoop in his hand. He has the power and domineering power to cause trouble in the heavens and the powerful ability to conquer demons. No matter what he faces, The unyielding and tenacity that will never give in..."
As for Monkey King, as everyone has said before, it is difficult for today's children to understand how touching names like Sun Wukong and Monkey King will bring to us.
After everyone had finished speaking, Li Yi took out the script.
Let Yi Mingming send it to everyone.
Everyone couldn't wait to watch.
As a result, Yi Mingming was surprised to find that many people's eyes turned red when they read the script.
In fact, Yi Mingming had also read the script. This was what she couldn't understand the most. It didn't seem that exaggerated, right?
Zhang Haiyang was the first to close the script, but his eyes were still red.
"Everyone tells us their opinions." Li Yi said with a smile.
Zhang Haiyang was still the first to speak: "Jiang Liu'er is actually us in the past, right? The child who regarded Sun Wukong as omnipotent, the little boy who regarded Sun Wukong as the most important and noble ideal."
"So, when the Great Sage returns, the theme should be to find our former self, right?"
Li Yi was noncommittal.
Others also chimed in with their own take on the story.
"There is a Monkey King in everyone's heart. That Monkey King may be ourselves. We will always encounter troughs and periods of decline, whether in life or work. There is no smooth road in life. There are no waves. Only the ups and downs of the Dead Sea can stir up brilliant ripples. Never abandon the self in your heart, the hero in your heart. Believe in yourself and you will be able to cross the mountains, cross the rivers, and break through the seal! This is what I think, "The Great Sage" "Return" has something to express!"
"It's time for our monkeys to amaze everyone! Hahaha!"
"Every Chinese will fall in love with the Monkey King as a matter of course. Every generation of Chinese has their own Sun Wukong. I think this is a good introduction for children in the new century."
Everyone was chattering away, and everyone's face was filled with pride and unruly expression.
Excitement and passion are something that no one had before when the movie "WALL-E" was made.
Because they have always been more like tools for Li Yi to achieve his goals in "Wall-E".
But now "The Return of the Great Sage" has allowed them to find a proud sense of belonging.
Let the Great Sage return! In fact, to a certain extent, it is also the return of Chinese comics.
Let the sincerity of the past return!
The Monkey King, who could fight millions of heavenly soldiers and generals alone, and the figure that all of them yearned for returned.
"The Return of the Great Sage" may not be the best domestic animation work, but at least it is definitely a Chinese comic that can inspire many people!
Yi Mingming couldn't understand why these men, including Li Yi, were as excited as children when talking about the monkey.
This was the first time she saw such a side of her cheap cousin.
Even at this moment, Li Yi couldn't help humming a song.
"The moon splashes across the stars, the road is long, the wind and smoke are gone, and the shadow is dim
Who told me to be extraordinary and who made me feel torn between love and hate?
Later, my heart and soul were broken, and I no longer had any grudges or grudges in this fantasy world.
The six sense objects of abandonment and enlightenment do not change, but they are angry, sad and crazy
It's a human being, a ghost, a monster, but it's just that there is a demonic debt in the heart
Calling Buddha has no chance of turning back; kneeling down to be a teacher has no bearing on life or death.
Good and evil float in the world of true and false worlds, and the scattered and gathered worldly connections are unclear.
It’s hard to tell what use I have for this iron rod, and what if I have this change?
Still uneasy or melancholy, Jin Huan stood up and wanted to speak but gave up.
I want this iron rod, the drunken dancing devil, I have this transformation and chaos
Trample the soul and act recklessly, the dangers of evil in this world cannot be escaped after all
This stick will turn you into ashes..."
This song called "Wukong", although Li Yi didn't sing it well, everyone was fascinated by it.
The look he looked at Li Yi was like worshiping a god!
Without him, this song and this lyric are a perfect match when compared one by one with "The Return of the Great Sage".
A song sings the heart of the great sage.
He also sang about the Monkey King in their minds.
On this day, in Xingman's conference room, everyone was talking eloquently about everyone's former idol, the unparalleled hero, the Monkey King, the Monkey King!
On this day, "The Return of the Great Sage" was officially launched on Star Comic Animation.
On this day, a group of big men were in the conference room, crying and singing - What is the use of this iron rod? What if I have this change? This stick will turn you into ashes...
Li Yi also rarely vented with everyone unscrupulously.
The project approval of "The Return of the Great Sage" marks the official launch of Star Comic's second animated feature film.
As for the production cycle, this cannot be determined yet.
Because "The Return of the Great Sage" is not particularly difficult in terms of production difficulty. The "Return of the Great Sage" in Li Yi's memory is actually in that world because of one or other reasons.
Including technical limitations, including insufficient funds, etc., although "The Return of the Great Sage" is hailed as the return of the national comic, it is actually still slightly weaker in terms of animation quality.
Of course, this weakness is in comparison. Compared with "Wall-E", it is definitely much weaker.
Therefore, in this world, Star Comics is capable of producing "WALL-E" with picture quality that is only slightly weaker than the original version. In addition, Star Comics today can be said to have the highest concentration of elite talents in the domestic animation industry. a company.
At the same time, the current star comics are not short of funds, so Li Yi's requirements for "The Return of the Great Sage" must be higher than the original "The Return of the Great Sage" in his memory!
