Special feature of 1905 film network The birth of is neither a propositional composition nor an accidental probability, but comes fromDerek KwokandWhere is it now?The "unyielding" strength in my heart. This strength breeds from each other’s growing environment, and burns into a fire after absorbing their anger at social injustice and their stubbornness in adhering to their ideals. However, until(hereinafter referred to as "Demonization") When they were preparing, they met formally. As soon as the two fires began to meet, they were out of control and directly burned out a "free revolution" in the image. The leader of this revolution is the symbol of "resisting tyranny" — — “Qitiangreat sage"The Monkey King.
The birth of Wukong Biography originated from two fireworks that were not easily convinced.
In the process of embodying The Story of Wukong, director Guo Zijian, the author of the original book and the screenwriter of this film have been thinking about how to bring the "rebellious spirit" in the novel to the hearts of every audience. The director thinks that the style of the original stream of consciousness is illusory, and after reading it, "it can make people re-identify themselves" is considered powerful. Did he achieve this level? During the interview, the two spent a lot of time stating "how to integrate modern thinking into the film". For example, they will turn heaven into a "company" and set God as a middle-level manager. the Monkey King and his party at the bottom always feel that the people above are wrong, and the middle-level people will feel that the people above are wrong. So how will they consider the gains and losses and make a choice?
Guo Zijian and today how to integrate modern people’s thinking into the film.
I have to say that this setting has really enhanced the audience’s sense of substitution. However, what attracts most non-book fans is still the role of the Monkey King. Regarding the Monkey King’s handling, Guo Zijian frankly brought in the state that he once felt "omnipotent", and made a contrast before and after, comparing the "awesome and failure" that everyone had experienced.
PART1 characters
"Tell the story of Wukong first, and the others will stay in the next part."
Today’s novel, which continues the main characters of The Journey to the West, tells the story of Tang Priest’s master and disciples who "disobeyed the destiny and criticized all hypocrisy", and the content consists of two lines, 500 years ago and 500 years later. The movie version of The Story of Wukong deleted the classic characters such as Tang Priest, Little White Dragon, Friar Sand and Bai Jingjing, and only kept the Monkey King, A Zi, Yang Jian, Tianpeng and Ayue. This kind of trade-off has made many book fans look a question mark.
In today’s view, firstly, the deletion of characters stems from the requirements of film volume. "The story of Tang Yan is another line, and he is parallel to the story of the Monkey King, so there is no room for two protagonists in a film." Secondly, "if all the characters are kept, it will take at least 6 hours to make a film, and I don’t want my favorite characters to run old-fashioned."
So, how are the preserved characters shaped? They mainly introduced the adaptation of the Monkey King, Yang Jian and Shangshengtianzun.
The Monkey King, Yang Jian and Shangshengtianzun are the characters with the most pen and ink and the most three-dimensional characters in the film.
With regard to the Monkey King, Guo Zijian wants to present its first stage, that is, it was still in a state of youth 500 years ago, and needs an indomitable spirit. In terms of personality, the Monkey King is written as an ordinary person, not as a heroic myth. "When everyone first entered the society, he had a stage of feeling very awesome, but after experiencing setbacks, he found that he would also fail. This is a necessary process of growth, and the Monkey King is the comparison between himself and himself."
The Monkey King will also fail, but this is only a necessary process for growth.
The reason why Guo Zijian can say this is actually related to his own experience. He was inexplicably confident since he was a child. After graduation, he made movies across banks, almost starting from scratch. Not only was he once said to be the worst reporter in Hong Kong, but he was also scolded by the director and burst into tears. Only then did he realize that he was far from being as awesome as he thought.
After the Monkey King is set, find an opponent who is equal to him — — Yang Jian. In the film, Yang Jian has always been worried about his mother being crushed at the foot of the mountain and his own background. Emotionally, he has a subtle love triangle with A Zi and the Monkey King. The director has set a more complicated background and mood in dealing with Yang Jian’s personality.
Yang Jian in the film has experienced the process from resistance to submission, and his personality is very complicated.
After falling into the mortal world, Yang Jian didn’t go to his mother directly, but had feelings with a substitute of "mother". In this way, Guo Zijian also projected his own preferences in it. "I like the feeling that things don’t have to be realized, but they can make you feel as perfect in your life.". In fact, Yang Jian is also a lover, and he may be more fragile than anyone else. This character also led him to finally accept his destiny. Because compared with the Monkey King, Yang Jian represents the majority of people in real life. "We know that our hearts are on fire and our emotions are not dead, but we will still give in in the face of powerful forces.".
Regarding the villain, the "God in Heaven" in the film is very innovative. At the beginning of his creation, Guo Zijian and Jin Zai decided to abandon the iconic figure of heaven "Jade Emperor and Queen Mother" and instead conceived a villain with the concept of department manager. At the beginning of the film, she tried to kill Wukong without reporting to her superiors. Including her lofty strength of regarding "the incompetence of the gods" and her expansive desire, are also her own small thoughts.
Shangshengtianzun was constructed by the director according to the image of "the middle layer of the company", with a strong sense of modernity.
In this regard, Guo Zijian said frankly, "If you look at it from the middle level of the company and report to the people above, the Buddha said one thing, but he was thinking another. Neither the following nor the above knows the real thoughts of the middle level. What she will do when she has the ability is also her own business. This is like a department manager grasping a good product, not giving it to the boss, but taking it out to start a business. "
As for the film, after Tianzun was defeated, there were no problems with other celestial boss. Now, I push my glasses and show a sly smile to respond "If boss is finished in this film, how can we make a sequel?".
PART2 story:"It’s a terrible thing to control fate by a machine."
