Chapter 720: A Chinese Odyssey Is Scheduled to Be Released and the Tour Begins!
Tian Ming put down his phone, his face was livid.
Xu Ye released this song at this time, so it was obvious who he was scolding.
"It's great to be able to write songs!" Tian Ming scolded in his heart.
What he didn't know was that if Xu Ye wasn't busy with other things, he could not only write a song, but also make a movie to scold.
Cultural people have cultural methods!
Soon, netizens finished listening to "Inverted Song".
"Dean, you are really good at it. The scolding is quite dirty, but there are no dirty words!"
"This song is really refreshing. I have been annoyed with this group of people for a long time. Fortunately, the dean can be my mouthpiece!"
"There was "Rakshasa Sea City" before, and "Inverted Song" later. Is there a chance that the Golden Dragon Award will follow the footsteps of the Huayin Award?"
"It doesn't matter. The dean is no longer involved in the Golden Dragon Award selection anyway, and there is no need to pay attention to this award in the future."
Today, many people were broken after listening to this song.
The judges of the Golden Dragon Award were even more angry.
With the strong support of netizens, "Inverted Song" has become a hot search.
More and more people have joined the action of analyzing the lyrics to explain to other netizens what is going on.
The Golden Dragon Award's cake-sharing is also spreading more and more, and more and more people have figured out what happened.
Sometimes doing something else may not make things so popular, but writing a song is different.
The reputation of the Golden Dragon Award is rotten!
At least it has been rotten in recent times!
When the Golden Dragon Award is held again in two or three years, someone will still mention this matter.
What's more, with Xu Ye's personality, even if others don't mention it, he will mention it himself.
Netizens can all think that when the Golden Dragon Award is held in the future, Xu Ye doesn't have to do anything else, just repost the Weibo of "Inverted Song".
As soon as the song comes out, everyone will know what's going on.
At that time, the credibility of the Golden Dragon Award will further decline until the award is finally terminated.
The most important thing is that Xu Ye no longer participates in the selection of the Golden Dragon Award.
If Xu Ye produces good works recognized by the audience in the future, but does not participate in the Golden Dragon Award, then this award will be questioned no matter who is given it.
If it is someone else, they may not have this ability.
It's just that they met Xu Ye, a man with a cheat.
As the Golden Dragon Award continues to ferment, another film industry award, the Wanhua Award, has also been mentioned by the audience.
The Wanhua Award is held at a different time from the Golden Dragon Award, and will be held one or two months after the Golden Dragon Award.
After this incident, a group of people from the Wanhua Award also held a meeting.
There is also a natural competition between the major awards. It would be a pity if such a good opportunity was not taken to the Golden Dragon Award.
The Wanhua Award directly posted a message on the official Weibo.
"Promote film art and lead the trend of innovation; fair and transparent selection, quality and efficiency; promote cultural exchanges and share the feast of light and shadow; convey positive values and build a brilliant film together."
The Wanhua Award posted this message and then announced the time of the Wanhua Award.
Netizens don't care. There are too many people in the entertainment industry who say one thing and do another. The key is to see what the Wanhua Award has done and whether the final award can convince the public.
Xu Ye also received an invitation letter from the Wanhua Award. The Wanhua Award did a good job this time.
Xu Ye himself has three movies participating in the competition, and the Wanhua Award prepared three invitation letters.
Hu Jinping also received an invitation with "Charlotte's Troubles".
The attitude of the Wanhua Award is also very kind.
Xu Ye's attitude towards the Wanhua Award is quite good.
This award has not caused any trouble so far, and the awards given are also convincing.
Xu Ye also agreed to the invitation of the Wanhua Award. As for the participating actors, those who have time also expressed that they will go together when the time comes.
I am afraid that by then, the actors under Xu Ye alone will occupy a large area.
The filming of "Mountains and Seas" is also going smoothly.
Soon, another month has passed.
"A Chinese Odyssey" is completed!
The final total length, including the opening and ending credits, reached two hours and fifty-nine minutes, just within three hours.
After the film was completed, it was submitted for review.
In the review department, Cao Na still reviewed Xu Ye's film.
Regarding Xu Ye's Golden Dragon Award, the review department did not respond.
In fact, there have been some black fans of Xu Ye reporting Xu Ye to the review department.
The review department is not blind, Xu Ye did not do anything illegal, and the reason for your report is not in accordance with the rules.
In this matter, the review department did not express its position, and its attitude was very clear, which is to let the Golden Dragon Award handle it itself.
There are also many voices within the review department about the rectification of the award, but this is not Cao Na's business.
After seeing the information about "A Chinese Odyssey", her first reaction was that Xu Ye was crazy!
He actually wanted to play Sun Wukong!
You know, Sun Wukong has a special status in the hearts of Chinese people.
This is a heroic role that everyone knows, regardless of gender, age or young.
Since the birth of "Journey to the West", countless works related to Sun Wukong have emerged in the entertainment industry.
This monkey is not only a character in mythology, but also carries the feelings of the Chinese people.
This is the monkey who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace!
This is different from playing Sun Wukong in a sketch or short play. This is a movie.
It is conceivable that this image of Sun Wukong will definitely be compared by the audience.
The stakes of the movie are huge.
After reviewing the file, Cao Na clicked on the feature film file.
At the beginning, there is a scene of Guanyin Bodhisattva scolding Sun Wukong, while Tang Sanzang is sitting aside.
"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?"
After hearing Guanyin's words, questions appeared in Cao Na's mind.
Good guy, what an outrageous plot this is!
But Cao Na was prepared in advance, because the movie is called "Westward Journey".
According to Xu Ye's adaptation method in "Unexpectedly", this movie must have nothing to do with the original Journey to the West story.
Cao Na just slowly started to look at it.
But she felt that compared with Xu Ye's previous movies, this movie seemed a bit unpalatable.
In addition, the movie also introduces the concept of time travel, which increases the difficulty of understanding.
Cao Na was stunned when she saw Fairy Zixia come out, put three moles on Zhizunbao's feet, and claim to be the Great Fairy Queen Pansi.
"The Supreme Treasure is Sun Wukong!"
The plot of the movie has also become interesting.
Watching until the end, when the Supreme Treasure put on a golden hoop and defeated the Bull Demon King, but was unable to save Fairy Zixia, Cao Na felt a little stuck in her heart.
At the end of the movie, everything changed. A monkey carried a golden hoop and walked away among the crowd.
"He looks like a dog!"
This sentence has been lingering in Cao Na's ears and has not disappeared for a long time.
If compared with Xu Ye's "Kung Fu", this movie is indeed a bit far behind.
But Cao Na felt that this movie contained something else, more like a literary film.
Cao Na recalled the scene in the movie. When she thought of the scene where Sun Wukong went to save Fairy Zixia and the golden hoop on his head began to tighten, a sentence came to mind.
"I can't love you if I put on the golden hoop, and I can't save you if I put the golden hoop down."
Sometimes, life is so helpless.
In the movie, there are many interesting lines.
What surprised Cao Na the most was Xiao Xu's performance in the movie.
"Xu Ye took such beautiful photos of his girlfriend."
In the end, "Westward Journey" successfully passed the review.
The only problem with this movie is that it is too long. When I was talking to the theaters, they were a little surprised when they saw the length.
Under normal circumstances, the best movie duration is within two hours, and it will be uncomfortable for the audience to sit in the cinema for a long time.
When the time gets longer, it also involves the number of screenings in the cinema.
Other movies take one and a half hours, but yours takes three hours. If you show it once, you can show other movies twice. This also means that the ticket price will be more expensive than a one and a half hour movie.
On earth, "Westward Journey" did not do well at the box office when it was released, but this does not mean that the box office was bad.
Back then, "Westward Journey" was split into two movies for release. Stephen Chow's box office expectations for the Hong Kong market were 30 million to 40 million per movie. The final result in Hong Kong was more than 20 million per movie, which did not reach the box office. expected.
Even so, this box office can still rank among the top ten of the year.
The film's performance in mainland China was very dismal. It was not until 1997 that the film began to be circulated in universities and quickly became popular.
The success of a movie must also consider the factors of the times.
Xu Ye doesn't care what the final box office can be. It will definitely not be able to match the high box office of "Kung Fu".
But in Xu Ye's view, filming "Westward Journey" is a meaningful thing.
After reaching an agreement with the theater chain, the movie was directly scheduled for May 1st.
The film's publicity and distribution work has also officially started.
This is a big studio announcing directly: "The fourth film in the five-year plan, Westward Journey, is scheduled to be released on May 1st!"
Later, the movie’s promotional posters were also released.
Netizens were very surprised after seeing it.
Because the filming of "Westward Journey" can be said to be quite low-key, many people didn't even know that Xu Ye actually shot a movie.
"Why did the dean play the role of a monkey?"
"Xiao Xu also starred. Oh my god, Xiao Xu is so beautiful! Xu Ye is a dog thief!"
"Those people I never expected are here too, Ye Qing is back!"
"Zhou Dachen plays his true character, Tang Monk is here!"
With the release of promotional posters one after another, the news that "Westward Journey" will be released gradually spreads.
Movie promotion is very important, because if you don't promote it, even if you are top-notch, many people will still not know that your movie is about to be released.
Everyone is very busy in real life. Even if you are a star like Xu Ye, normal people will not just stare at your updates every day when they have nothing to do.
But this time, summer movie directors all breathed a sigh of relief.
They had known that Xu Ye's movie had been completed. They originally thought that Xu Ye would release the movie in the summer, which would increase competition.
"It's strange. May is not far away from the summer release. We can wait for another two months. Why does it have to be released at this time?"
The directors were also confused.
Xu Ye is not a newcomer now. He has a strong box office appeal and is not so timid.
A few days later, this big studio released another explosive news.
"Xu Ye's national tour will start in May, the name of the tour is Love You for Ten Thousand Years!"
