It's the end of May.
"Westward Journey" has officially entered the final sprint stage of publicity and release.
Screenings are not new, but it is still relatively rare for two films to be screened together like "Westward Journey".
The first screening is for media and film critics.
Of course, not only the media and film critics were invited, but also some selected die-hard fans of Li Yi and some fans of old Hong Kong films.
Many people think that screenings are very casual. In fact, screenings of many movies, especially special screenings, are very particular.
The purpose of screening is to release word-of-mouth and accumulate enough word-of-mouth before a large-scale release.
Therefore, many special screenings are targeted.
This can maximize the effectiveness of word-of-mouth marketing.
The first screening was held at Wanxing International Cinema in Beijing. Although there was no premiere, it was almost the same. The main creative staff such as Li Yi were present.
It's just that the special screening did not invite celebrities in the industry to support it, and there was no red carpet.
Zhao Jiasheng is a relatively well-known online film critic. In fact, there are almost no threshold for film critics these days, but if you want to gain influence, you have to work hard.
The business of being a film critic is also booming these days.
If you don't have some skills, it's really difficult to get ahead.
In his early years, Zhao Jiasheng was not a film critic, but a die-hard fan of old Hong Kong films. Later, out of hobbies, he found some old Hong Kong films he liked and edited them to produce a few nostalgic explanations. As a result, many people watched them.
After going back and forth, Zhao Jiasheng became somewhat popular on Xiaopo Station.
Later, when his popularity increased, he began to specialize in this. It can be said that Zhao Jiasheng is considered a "top" UP master in the nostalgic interpretation of old Hong Kong films.
Naturally, I began to expand my business and began to take care of my career as a film critic, occasionally writing reviews for some released films.
However, Zhao Jiasheng usually targets Hong Kong films when writing reviews.
When it comes to Hong Kong films, nonsensical comedies are naturally the type of films that will inevitably be mentioned.
In Zhao Jiasheng, there is a special topic dedicated to nonsensical comedies.
This time, Zhao Jiasheng was invited to attend a special screening by the media and film critics because he is indeed well-known among old Hong Kong film lovers.
Of course, Zhao Jiasheng in "Westward Journey" is also extremely popular.
After all, this is what he depends on for food.
Furthermore, he also likes the style of Hong Kong movies, so naturally he has a lot of expectations for "Westward Journey".
Entering the cinema, Zhao Jiasheng couldn't help but sigh, he deserves to be Li Yi and Director Dog.
This screening hall is the largest hall in Beijing Wanxing International Cinema and can accommodate more than 1,000 people.
At this moment, the seats were full.
"Eh? The voice of Hong Kong movies? Lao Zhao?" Suddenly a voice sounded.
The Voice of Hong Kong Films is the nickname of Zhao Jiasheng’s account. Anyone who can call the Voice of Hong Kong Films must be someone who has watched his films.
And this voice sounds a bit familiar.
Zhao Jiasheng looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Can't help but smile.
"It's you, Lao Wang next door, you're here too."…
Lao Wang next door is also the host of UP. He is somewhat similar to Zhao Jiasheng who specializes in Hong Kong films. Lao Wang next door specializes in comedies.
So it was normal for him to be invited.
The two of them happened to be seated next to each other, so they naturally started chatting.
"This director is really awesome. It's a Hong Kong film and it's a nonsensical comedy. They are both declining types, so he just joined forces." Wang Jin, the boss next door, said.
"Isn't that right? So he is a dog director, so he is the only one in the country." Zhao Jiasheng said with a smile.
The two of them kept chatting and complaining.
Zhao Jiasheng said that if this movie could be screened twice in a row and he could hold his urine during the entire movie without going to the toilet, he would definitely blow this movie to death.
Wang Jin said with a smile that he has read countless comedy films and the laughs are high enough. If this movie can make him laugh more than ten times, he will also praise this movie.
Then, the movie officially begins.
"Director Li Yi's work!"
After the subtitles.
Pictures began to appear on the big screen.
Amid the smoke, Avalokitesvara sat high on the lotus platform, dressed in white and making a sound in the wind. The words he spoke made people a little confused.
"Sun Wukong, you beast, you originally promised Tathagata Buddha to escort your master Tang Sanzang to get the Western Scriptures, but you actually colluded with the Bull Demon King to eat your master. Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime?"
"What the hell?"
"What the hell?"
"Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King work together to eat Tang Monk's meat?"
"What is this for?"
Many media and film critics in the theater were a little Spartan.
Not only was the content of what Guanshiyin said a bit unexpected, but the key thing was that the tone actually called "you beast".
Don’t underestimate such a small paragraph. In fact, the subversion has already begun from this sentence.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In the picture, Sun Wukong played with his stick handsomely, and then glared at Guanyin: "Young nagging, you chased me for three days and three nights, and I didn't kill you because you were a woman. Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Sun Wukong's appearance was not amazing, but when he glared at Guanyin and said she was a woman, his tone sounded like the Monkey King, the Monkey King who feared nothing.
"Wukong, how can you talk to Sister Guanyin like this?"
The third person to appear was Tang Sanzang. Well, although he spoke seriously, he always seemed to have an indescribable smile on his face, but for some reason, the audience couldn't help but see him. The urge to laugh.
"Hey, don't make any noise!" Sun Wukong shouted impatiently at Tang Monk, baring his teeth.
"You're scaring me again!" Every time Tang Sanzang spoke, it gave people a strange feeling.
"Aren't you afraid of me? Why did you hurt Fairy Zixia and take away her Moonlight Box? Didn't you just want to avoid me?"
Sun Wukong took out the moonlight treasure box: "Since I can't hide, I will fight to the death with you!"
As he spoke, he threw the moonlight treasure box into the distance.
As a result, the Moonlight Box hit Tang Sanzang, who was sitting aside as if he was eating melon.
"What are you doing again?" Tang Sanzang turned around, still wearing his trademark shallow smile, as if he was being interrupted while eating melon.
Sun Wukong got into position and was about to fight Guanyin for three hundred rounds.
As a result, at this moment, at this critical moment.
"Ah ah ah, don't be angry, everyone. If you are angry, you will break the rules of anger. Wukong, you are too naughty!"
Sun Wukong, who was originally very aggressive, was immediately dumbfounded.
And everyone in the theater seemed to understand Sun Wukong's feelings.
Because Tang Sanzang's voice and the way he jumped up and down like a little girl holding the moonlight treasure box simply made people feel that their moral integrity was completely gone!
Is this Tang Monk? Is it really that Tang Monk?
Master, just blink when you are threatened!
Our eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty can't be so cute, well, he can't be so funny!
But think about it carefully, why the hell not?
Who has ever seen the real Tang Sanzang?
Just like, who has ever seen the real Wu Dalang?
So, why can't Tang Seng look like this?
