Chapter 738 "Let the Bullets Fly" And "Here Comes the Monkey King"

The animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" has been in production for a long time.

On Earth, this film was slightly flawed due to insufficient production funds.

Even so, this film created the highest box office record for animated films in the year it was released.

Starting from "The Return of the Great Sage", domestic animated films have gradually developed, and some good works have been born in the days that followed.

It can be said that this monkey saved the domestic animated film industry.

In this world, there are also domestic animated films, but they are all based on some popular IPs.

For example, the "Dumb Goose and Stupid Dog" cartoon, which is still updated every day, maintains the model of one animated movie every year.

The movie was released during the Spring Festival and got a good box office.

But this box office is only relative to other domestic animated films.

The highest box office of their big movies is only 415 million yuan.

In the Chinese film market, the highest-grossing animated film is a foreign film called "Spirit Realm Adventure", which has a box office of 1.13 billion in the Chinese film market alone.

The idea that domestic animated films are not good has been imprinted in everyone's mind, and many people have never thought about producing a work that can compete with foreign animated films.

After all, to make a good work, it is not passion, but funds, talents, and love for the animation industry.

There are talents and passion, but there is no money.

No investor is willing to invest in the production of animated films.

This kind of film has high investment risks and a high probability of losing money.

This is also normal.

But for Xu Ye, this is not a problem.

The overall production cost of "The Return of the Great Sage" has exceeded 100 million.

This level of production funds is unique in the entire domestic animated film industry. If it is spread out, everyone will think Xu Ye is crazy.

Xu Ye has not promoted it outside, and he quietly produced the movie.

According to the current progress, "Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Return of the Great Sage" can both be released during the Spring Festival next year.

When the two movies are released together, the audience can watch "Let the Bullets Fly" before watching "The Return of the Great Sage".

After Xu Ye checked "The Return of the Great Sage", the film was directly submitted for review.

The film produced by the Dream Building Studio made up for some of the shortcomings of the original film.

After all, Xu Ye is not short of money.

Cao Na from the review department was stunned after seeing the film.

How did they make an animated film?

If Xu Ye made an animated film like "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" or "Tom and Jerry", it would be understandable.

Isn't a semi-original animated film like "The Return of the Great Sage" aiming to lose money?

However, after Cao Na watched the movie, her attitude changed.

"This monkey is so handsome!"

At first, she really thought that this horse-faced monkey was ugly and had a unique feature. Later, when the monkey melted the stone into armor and waved the flame into a robe, the whole feeling was different.

This is not a horse face, this is a square face, and it can be seen at a glance that it can achieve great things!

It was not difficult for "The Return of the Great Sage" to pass the review.

After the review, Cao Na also called Xu Ye and asked what kind of help Xu Ye needed.

Nowadays, China's animation industry is already positive, but there are no animated films yet.

Xu Ye is the first to take the lead again this time, and the review department must also express his appreciation.

Xu Ye simply asked the review department to coordinate with the theaters.

Even if he is the director of "The Return of the Great Sage", it is still a bit dangerous to get a high screening schedule.

It's not that the theaters are stupid, but the screening schedule for domestic animated films is not much, so it doesn't matter who comes.

Especially since "The Return of the Great Sage" wants to be released during the Spring Festival, this schedule is even more tight.

It would be even better if the review department can help get more screenings.

During the filming and editing of "Let the Bullets Fly", this big studio also added some new singers.

Xu Ye had sung a lot of songs in "Love Song King" before, and during this period, he released a lot of songs from "Love Song King" intermittently, which increased the fame of the singers in the studio.

Xu Ye also released the eighth and ninth songs of "Silly Music" in his album.

One is "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse" and the other is "Dala Bangba".

Especially for "Dala Bangba", Xu Ye adopted Zhou Shen's singing style, playing four roles by himself. After the song was released, the audience was shocked.

Then came the cover songs of a group of up masters on Xiaolan Station.

Xu Ye also launched a cover song activity on Xiaolan Station, but he also made requirements for everyone's cover songs.

You can change the names of people and places in the song, or you can't edit it. Sing out all the names of people and places in the original lyrics, and you must pass it once.

This is very difficult.

Even so, it still attracted many up masters on Xiaolan Station to cover the song, and the song quickly became popular on the Internet.

Even Yu Wei came to Xu Ye to buy the copyright.

Xu Ye previously suggested to Yu Wei that she could organize a music variety show of Masked Singer. After several years of discussion and planning, the recording of this music variety show will be launched next year.

Yu Wei thinks that this song "Dala Bangba" is very suitable for singing on the stage of Masked Singer.

Some old singers want to challenge themselves, but don't want to be discovered by old listeners, so they can come to the stage to sing this song. There must be some first-line singers interested.

When it was December, the editing work of "Let the Bullets Fly" was completed and the film was submitted for review.

After receiving the movie, Cao Na analyzed it in her mind.

According to the time of the five-year plan mentioned by Xu Ye, this movie is the last one in the five-year plan.

She looked at the information in the file and the movie category was comedy.

"All five movies in the five-year plan are comedies."

Cao Na didn't think much about it. She had watched the previous four movies many times and remembered the plots in them.

Obviously, she had watched the movie many times, but she laughed every time she watched it.

"This movie is actually a comedy. I thought it was a war movie."

Cao Na didn't think much about it and opened the movie.

At the beginning of the movie, the song sounded.

This song has a famous name, called "Farewell", which was released in 1915. It can be said to be the most classic of all farewell songs, a true century-old classic.

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and endless~"

Listening to this beautiful song, Cao Na has already sighed in her heart.

"This lyrics are so beautiful!"

Cao Na rarely uses beauty to describe the lyrics of a song, but this song "Farewell" gave her such a feeling.

The scene turned to the train.

Cao Na saw He Shuhong, who played the role of the master.

Wait until later, Zhang Mazi fired a gun, and a classic line corresponding to the name of the movie appeared.

Zhang Mazi said lightly: "Let the bullets fly for a while."

The train overturned, and only Ma Bangde and his wife were left alive.

"He Shuhong is dead, this movie is definitely a good movie!" Cao Na said in her heart.

In "Kung Fu", at the beginning, the leader of the Crocodile Gang, played by He Shuhong, was killed by Brother Chen of the Axe Gang.

Netizens are joking online, saying that as long as He Shuhong dies at the beginning of the movie, it is a good movie.

Cao Na thought the movie was funny at first. The horse-drawn train, some funny plots, and various performances of the characters clearly showed that the movie was indeed a comedy.

But the more she watched, the more she felt something was wrong.

Some people say that "Let the Bullets Fly" is a metaphor, but it is not completely so.

There is a part of metaphor, but many things are on the surface. They are not metaphors, but explicit.

Two hours later, Cao Na finished watching the whole movie, and she was only shocked.

"You call this a comedy!"

Cao Na didn't know how to evaluate this movie.

The characters in it obviously have references. Some refer to a type of people, some refer to a certain person, and some characters have both.

Cao Na grew up in a compound since she was a child. She heard the elders talk about some past events, and she felt more deeply about this movie.

"Zhang Mazi won, but he didn't win completely. The dragon-slaying boy will also become a dragon. If you want to prevent history from repeating, you have to point one gun at the enemy and one gun at yourself."

Cao Na looked through the release time of the movie filing, which was the Spring Festival.

This means that Xu Ye's two films will be released during the Spring Festival.

"Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Return of the Great Sage".

When she thought of these two movie titles, a poem suddenly came to her mind.

"The golden monkey raised his thousand-pound stick, and the jade sky cleared the dust. Today, we cheer for Sun Dasheng, only because the evil fog has come again."

"Let the Bullets Fly" also passed the review smoothly.

After receiving the news of the review, Xu Ye was relieved.

Recently, Xu Ye has been very busy. He is already preparing for his wedding with Xiao Xu.

Weddings can be simple or complicated, but for Xu Ye and Xiao Xu's identities, they can't be simple even if they want to.

Xu Ye didn't plan to make a big impact at this wedding. He wouldn't learn from some stars in the entertainment industry to find sponsors for a wedding and turn marriage into a business.

The people invited to this wedding will only be some relatives and friends who have a good relationship.

Even so, it is still very troublesome.

Many details require Xu Ye and his wife to make decisions personally, and you can't let others take responsibility.

Take wedding photos for example. Even if you want to lower your standards, your status does not allow you to take photos casually.

Moreover, most girls want to take beautiful wedding photos at this time, and it takes several days to go to the location.

Fortunately, Xu Ye has already handled most of the work on hand, and even the next five-year plan has been made. He just needs to wait for the content of the next five-year plan to be announced next year.

Otherwise, he really has no time to deal with these things.

Originally, Xu Ye planned to spend the holiday, but he received a call from Zhou Guohai.

"Xu Ye, I will be the director of the Spring Festival Gala again this year. Do you want to produce a few programs?" Zhou Guohai said with a smile.

"Why are you the director again? Didn't you say you would not direct the Spring Festival Gala?" Xu Ye asked.

"This is the last time. You have to help me." Zhou Guohai smiled.

Xu Ye thought about it and asked, "Then let's talk about the conditions. Let our company have more singers."
