Chapter 668 King Blast!

The audience enjoyed the show.

"The Return of the Great Sage" is beyond expectations.

The plot twists in the final battle can be described as rising, falling, and then rising again.

Zhu Bajie's heroic sacrifice is a highlight.

Jiang Liuer's self-transformation is the second highlight.

The Monkey King sacrificed himself to save Jiang Liuer, which was a low point, but also the highlight of his character.

The Monkey King’s sacrifice was not a cowardly death, but for the sake of salvation.

Sad, but understandable.

Jiang Liuer exploded, and it was another highlight.

It touched the hearts of many children at once.

The naughty little monk, who couldn't even defeat a mountain monster at first, was able to defeat the Chaos Monster King after going through adventures and experiences.

The level of character power has been raised, and the characters have gone from metamorphosis to complete explosion.

The guidance is also very good.

Parents who came with their children were very satisfied.

Jiang Liuer can play a very good guiding role in growing up from a naughty boy to a sensible one.

The mastermind arrives and the plot falls from its climax to its lowest point.

Jiang Liuer failed and was humiliated by the Chaos Demon King who recovered after taking the elixir. The audience's emotions fell from the highest to the lowest.

However, the Monkey King returned soon.

The Great Sage transformed, killed the Demon King with one strike, and ascended to the sky again.

It rekindles the audience's emotions and brings them to a higher level.

Throughout the entire movie, the two characters, Monkey King and Jiang Liuer, have perfect character arcs.

Each of them has their own highlights and they redeem each other.

The final battle plot is full of twists and turns, full of emotions, and multiple explosive points.

The end of the movie.

The long shots of the sky and underground allow the audience's excitement and tension to subside, leaving a huge suspense.

From beginning to end, the mood of the movie is positive.

Moreover, as an animated film, the plot is suitable for all ages.

The background setting at the beginning of the story depicts the three mountains in the heavenly court, which is directly echoed at the end.

The Monkey King can represent many meanings. It can be a person or a group of people.

The corrupt should be eliminated, even the gods who are high above should be so.

The new god who replaces the old god should be a hero among men who is strong and unyielding.

This will maintain the healthy operation of Lingshan, Heaven, and the system of gods and Buddhas.

The plot far exceeded expectations, and both adults and children can see what they like in the movie.

The pictures are even more exciting.

So, the movie is still not over.

In other words, the main film is over, but the ending song is here.

It's also a royal bomb.

The prelude to "The Lone Brave Man" begins.

Screen.

Slow motion of the Monkey King falling into the lava, and playback of the battle damage scene at the beginning of the movie.

The magma engulfed the golden crown, and the fragments of the Phoenix-wing purple gold crown sank into the darkness.

Jiang Liuer flashes back to kicking the ice sculptures into pieces in the cave.

The ice crystals reflected the demonic form of the Great Sage, alternating with the true appearance of the Monkey King.

The atmosphere is depressing and tragic.

It is the fall of a hero, but also his rebirth.

The main song starts.

All are brave

The wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you made
No need to hide

Your worn-out doll, your mask, your ego
The scene shows the injuries sustained by the Great Sage while guarding the battlefield outside the domain, and the scars and demonic appearance left behind.

The battle between the Great Sage Huafan and the Demon King.

Jiang Liuer was holding a doll of the Monkey King.

Take the light, they say, tame every monster
They say, stitch your wounds up, nobody loves a clown

A close-up of the Monkey King’s profile as it is corroded by evil spirits, with black and gold blood oozing out of the cracks on his forehead.

Flashback to the meeting in Heaven.

The Jade Emperor's eyes under the pendant, and the shadow of Lingshan cast a sarcastic look at the Bodhisattva.

Flash to Jiang Liuer.

The helplessness of being without support in the temple and the panic of being driven out while begging for alms.

Jiang Liuer, who lost his parents, has no shelter.

A thorny personality is also a form of self-protection.

Why loneliness is not glorious
Only imperfections are worth praising.
Who says someone covered in mud is not a hero?

The scene shows the Demon-Suppressing Monument shining with golden light, crushing the shadow of the demon.

The Great Sage’s Dharma image is broken, but it remains standing.

Jiang Liu'er was chased by the mountain monster like a dog all the way.

As a comparison.

The heaven will look down upon the world from high above.

Under the contrast of light and shadow, the hypocrisy of theocracy is clearly visible.

It’s time for the chorus.

I love you walking alone in the dark alley

I love you without kneeling

love you confronted with despair

don't cry

love your tattered clothes

But dare to block the gun of fate

love you just like me

Notches are the same

Are you going? Are you worthy?
this ragged cloak
war?

Fight! With the humblest dream
To the whimpering and roaring in the dark night
Who says that only those who stand in the light are considered heroes

Cross-cutting of scenes.

The rebellious figure of Jiang Liuer singing perverse songs on the roof of Chang'an and the lonely figure of the Monkey King fighting against demons alone on the battlefield outside the domain appear in each other's minds.

Jiang Liuer clenched the puppet tightly when he was being chased by the mountain monster, and the Monkey King's golden cudgel broke into pieces at the moment of breaking.

The climax of the song is also cross-cut.

On the battlefield outside the domain, the Great Sage fell into the magma, with no desire to stay.

Outside the Hanging Temple, the Great Sage protected Jiang Liuer. His legs were bent from being crushed, but his heart was already recovering.

The camera then showed Jiang Liuer screaming loudly in the ruins, shouting "Great Sage", tears and sparks bursting out at the same time.

Then we see the carefree and ordinariness of the Monkey King when he became a mortal, and he frankly mocks himself: "The Monkey King is just an ordinary monkey."

On to the second verse.

There were already sporadic choruses in the cinema.

They said, stop being crazy
like wiping off dirt

They said to go up the stairs
And the price is bowing your head
In the illusion of Lingshan, the shadow of Tathagata picks up a flower and smiles.

Enveloped by Buddha's light.

The past when the Great Sage was conferred the title of Fighting and Victory Buddha flashed before his mind.

Then let me not ride the wind
You are just as proud of that loneliness
Who says that those who are mediocre at playing chess are not heroes?

The Great Sage chose to guard outside the domain. His cassock was torn into pieces, his chain mail was stained with demonic energy, and he was covered in scars.

Zhu Ganglie's broken gourd sank to the bottom of the cliff.

The old monk Fa Ming picked up the small basin containing Jiang Liu'er and gazed into the distance.

I love you walking alone in the dark alley

I love you without kneeling

love you confronted with despair

don't cry

love your tattered clothes

But dare to block the gun of fate

love you just like me

Notches are the same

Are you going? Are you worthy?
this ragged cloak
Fight? Fight!
With the humblest dream!

To the whimpering and roaring in the dark night
Who says that only those who stand in the light are considered heroes

Your spots are different
Your silence is deafening

Here comes the chorus.

The choruses in cinemas across the country gradually merged into a wave of sound, rising and falling one after another.

I love you walking alone in the dark alley

I love you without kneeling

love you confronted with despair

don't cry

love you from the wild

No one's light is borrowed in my life
You will build your walls

Above the ruins

Montage quick editing was used.

The Great Sage's golden body was recast in lava, and the golden crown with phoenix wings rose from the ashes.

A spark ignited in Jiang Liuer's palm, which seemed to illuminate the flag of the garrison.

Children in Chang'an ran around holding Monkey King puppets.

The demons outside the Great Wall retreated.

The camera freezes on the Monkey King standing on top of the clouds, his golden cudgel spanning heaven and earth, the cracks on the cudgel filled with sparks, reflecting the words "Qitian".

Are you going? Yes!
With the humblest dream!

Fight? Fight!
With the loneliest dream!

To the whimpering and roaring in the dark night
Who says that only those who stand in the light are considered heroes

The end of the song.

Two lines of black and red words appeared on the screen.

The red is blood, the black is evil spirit, and it says “The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong”.

The font of these six words gradually became clear from dirty, until finally, it turned into a shining golden color.

At the end of the scene, there is a close-up of Chang'an City, like a long scroll.

Those are the lights of thousands of homes.

The audience couldn't calm down for a long time.

"The Lone Warrior" and Shen Santong's magical adaptation of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" are a perfect match.

The narrative of the mortal hero, the Great Sage's transformation to a mortal and then awakening, and Jiang Liuer's personal awakening are almost perfectly integrated.

When the ending song ended, the audience felt a deep resonance.

The guardian standing in the dark is far more worthy of being remembered than the idol in the light.

What’s more important is the spirit, it’s so comfortable.

The Chinese people have a strong spirit of resistance in their bones!
From the myths, we can see that in Chinese myths, Dayu controlled the floods, and what he was fighting against was nature, the floods; Yugong moved the mountains, and what he was fighting against was the mountains and nature; Jingwei filled the sea, and what he was fighting against was the sea; Erlang Shen split the mountain to save his mother, and what he was fighting against was the Emperor of Heaven.
It can be said that everyone is "rebellious"!
Moreover, some of these stories are myths, while others are history.

The Chinese benefited from their struggle, they defeated the flood, and after controlling the flood, they were able to obtain fertile land, so Chinese myths often have a good ending.

On the contrary, in the West, which claims to have the greatest spirit of freedom, the god who stole fire and the god who rebelled against him all suffered a lot.

The reason why "The Lone Warrior" was popular in its previous life was because of its spirit, which immediately struck the hearts of the Chinese people.

In this life, combined with "The Return of the Great Sage" and the image of the Monkey King, the audience's emotions were completely ignited.

The reason why the Monkey King has become a concept in the minds of the people is because of his resistance to heaven and his courage to overthrow the Heavenly Palace and make trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

In essence, the Monkey King is the embodiment of Chinese people's resistance, a symbol of resistance to oppression and pursuit of free will.

In the cinema, the excited audience was awakened only by a more naughty voice.

"I am a little monster, free and easy. I kill people without blinking an eye, and eat people without adding salt."

In addition to the ending song, there is also a short film easter egg of Nezha.

The film project has not officially started yet, but the short film has been made.

It's only a thirty-second short film, but it portrays the image of the demon boy Nezha vividly.

After the Nezha short film was over, the subtitle "Stay tuned for "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World"" disappeared, confirming that the Easter egg was really gone, but the audience was still reluctant to let it go.

"too frightening!"

The well-known media person Lao Hu looked at the "enthusiastic" adults and children in the cinema. Seeing them happy made him feel very sad.
