Chapter 255 Postmodern comedy master

Maybe it is easier for students and white-collar workers to accept the absurd and alternative version of Journey to the West. In short, Journey to the West is completely popular. The tour structure is interpreted as a rebellious character, an alternative love story, and the dialogue in the film is stunned by the audience.

"Do you need it? Don't you need it? Do you need it?" It's thundering! It's raining! Collect your clothes quickly!" The moonlight treasure box is a treasure. If you throw it around, it will pollute the environment. Alas, what should I do if it hits children? Even if you can't hit the children, it's not good to hit the flowers and plants!"

Supreme Treasure: "Hero! You let me go!"

Bai Jingjing: "Let you go? Give me a reason not to kill you!"

Supreme Treasure: "I'm thinking... Give me a reason to kill me first!"

These lines can be said naturally from the students after watching the movie, and from time to time, people on the bed can be heard saying words in the student dormitory, not words but lines, not the lines used in the performance, but the lines in Journey to the West. The whole society has set off a wave of speech and lines.

Because it completely overturns the old model and interprets love with comedy, because the supreme treasure is too in line with the mentality of young people, these can be the reasons. Many people have a reason to watch the Nth and N+l times. Yes, in 2003, when a movie ticket was as high as 60 yuan, because there was no pirated VCD disc, some audiences watched the movie repeatedly, and there were even super strong people who watched it seven times.

After hearing about the incident, Songjiang Satellite TV interviewed the student who watched the film for 7 consecutive days within a week.

"Hall, I'm Lan Xin, the host of Songjiang Satellite TV's "Tonight" The one sitting next to me is a super fan who has watched "Journey to the West" seven times in a row for seven days. Come and say hello to the audience!"

"Hor everyone, my name is Liu Changfeng, from Songjiang University!"

"Changfeng, you love watching movies, don't you? Then we heard that you watched "Journey to the West" seven times in a row for seven days, and this film lasted for three hours. What supports you to watch it continuously!"

The student named Liu Changfeng was still a little restrained when facing the camera. But when Lan Xin asked him about Journey to the West, his eyes were shining. "Not long ago, I was just disappointed in love and I was depressed. I heard that "Journey to the West" is very funny, so I want to watch it.

To be honest, when I saw it for the first time, I laughed and had a cramp in my stomach. But after coming out, I felt a little unfinished. So I went to see it for the second time, and this time, I cried. But after coming out, I still felt that something was ignored by me. Then I went to see it for the third time. As a result, I laughed and shed tears, but I was suddenly stunned and felt that I should cry or laugh, so I went to see it again for the fourth time. After watching it, I sat there silently, feeling nowhere to go, and a kind of sadness and helplessness that went deep into my bone marrow. Simply, I watched it for the fifth time.

"When I thought I had understood this film, I suddenly seemed to understand more and thought of more things that I had never thought of before. I remember almost every line and every action in Journey to the West, and I keep thinking about what the big words are talking about. What kind of emotion is it hiding in the funny plot? Just like the tears left by the Zixia fairy in the heart of the supreme treasure, in fact, life is like this. How many vigorous love, how many points and yin and yang mistakes, in the end, it is just a tear. The supreme treasure saw the tears in his heart and finally understood, so he put on the golden hoop and changed the Monkey King. It's a mess for me."

"Wow, that's amazing. I didn't expect you to see so many things from a movie?" Lan Xin said with some shock.

"In fact, what I see is much more than that. When I watched it for the sixth time, I had a different opinion on Zixia's tears. When the supreme treasure wears a golden hoop, his essence is still the supreme treasure, and he can't hide his love for Zixia. But he repeatedly reminded himself that he was already the Monkey King, so he would say: Everyone is a fairy. Don't harass me."

The word "immortal" is actually the supreme treasure reminding himself and reminding Zixia at the same time. The tone of his eyes was clearly begging bitterly. The helplessness and sadness in my heart are really unspeakable. The supreme name of immortals represents the most secular constraint, that is, detachment without desire. Floating like stagnated water. He was satisfied with what Zixia left in his heart. He didn't expect that what he saw was a tear. Tears made him ashes, and tears also made him understand what true love is. He thought that the person he loved was not his favorite. He searched for his wife for 500 years, but found another person.

"Wow, Changfeng, you are so awesome! I don't know what your major is?" Lan Xin said exaggeratedly.

And Liu Changfeng said with a smile, "Social psychology!"

Songjiang Satellite TV is now the first local station below CCTV. After this program was broadcast, it has aroused extensive discussion in the society. According to the analysis of Songjiang Morning Post, if you laugh when you read "Journey to the West" for the first time, it means that you don't understand it. When you see tears all over your face, you just understand one layer.

In a word, this film is both popular and funny and super meaningful, and can simply rise to the height of philosophy. After studying Journey to the West several times, a vice president of the Beijing Film and Television Academy declared that the film has a very postmodernist style, and Zhang Duo is a well-deserved postmodern comedy master.

Of course, whether it is the interview program of Songjiang Satellite TV, the comments of Songjiang Morning News, and the praise of Zhang Duo by the vice president of the Beijing Film and Television Academy. Behind these things, there is the shadow of Wanbang Film and Television. To put it simply, it's just hype.

Although Dai Anmin was very angry, the box office of "Journey to the West" really began to counterattack. On January 12, "Journey to the West" achieved more than 5.5 million at the box office. Although it is slightly inferior to "Wreak havoc in Heaven", it is still a good result.

In the following days, the box office of "Journey to the West" rose all the way, reaching 62,000 in the first week. At this time, the box office growth rate of "Haunting Heavenly Palace", which has been released for 18 days, has begun to weaken, with a box office of 150 million.

After the broadcast of Songjiang Satellite TV's issue of "Tonight to Talk", it was originally a sporadic repeated viewing phenomenon, but it began to appear on a large scale. In many cinemas, I have seen a lot of people two or three times. However, the crowd is dominated by white-collar workers. After all, there are not many students like Liu Changfeng who like to study movies and spend a lot of money.

In the office of Wanbang Film and Television, Song Siwei and Jin Yutang were so impressed that they could come up with such a way to publicize.

"A Duo, I found that you are really smart enough to come up with ideas to make people watch movies repeatedly." Jin Yutang patted Zhang Duo on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Duo said seriously, "Brother Song, cousin Yu, ordinary people will not watch movies repeatedly in the cinema. But if you raise whether you can understand this film to the level of IQ and philosophy, someone will always want to challenge it. But one thing must be done well, that is, there can't be pirated VCDs in the world, otherwise our losses will be great!"

Jin Yutang sneered and said, "Don't worry, I'll solve this. But what is the title of a postmodern comedy master?

Zhang Duo smiled and said to himself that it was me, even the star of his previous life, and he didn't understand what postmodernism was. But as long as it sounds more sway and makes people feel that Journey to the West is not vulgar and connotative, postmodern is postmodern!

"Actually, I don't know much about this title! And I don't know anything about postmodernism. But as long as our movie can*, isn't it?" Zhang Duo said with a slightly complacent smile.

And the market performance is indeed as Zhang Duo estimated. Without the interference of pirated VCDs, countless white-collar workers who are "not short of money" have returned to the cinema again and again to watch Journey to the West under the psychological effect of near comparison. They think like Liu Changfeng. Although they look at the same content, they have different feelings every time. They want to know more about what postmodernity is and extremely admire Zhang Duo, a postmodern comedy master.

In the audience of Journey to the West, students are also the main force. Although many of them are short of money, a 60-yuan movie ticket saves a week. But in order to understand postmodernism and explore the true meaning of love. There are no longer a few students who watch movies repeatedly.

In this way, the box office of "Journey to the West" has risen steadily. When "The Haunted Heavenly Palace" was released 40 days and began to draw, it finally achieved a box office of 367 million. However, "Journey to the West" has achieved 289 million yuan, with an average daily box office of more than 10 million.

At 3 a.m. on February 11, when the box office statistics came out and spread to Wanbang, Song Siwei, Jin Yutang and Zhang Duo were very excited. The box office of No. 10 was 11 million, while the cumulative box office of "Journey to the West" was 300 million. It surpassed the domestic box office of Haunted Heaven.

"A Duo, with the current number of films and cinema attendance, we will definitely have no problem in half a month, and I'm afraid we can break 400 million by then!" Song Siwei said with a happy face.

"Yes, when we watched it, we still felt that this film was a little noisy. We had to watch it several times to see the deep meaning. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the audience to understand, but I didn't expect it to cause such a long movie frenzy, which is really unexpected!" Jin Yutang laughed.

"However, those low-cost films that were still sticking to in February are unlucky, and many of them are 'three-day tours' or 'day tours'. It's their bad luck to meet us." Song Siwei was a little gloating about the disaster.
