Chapter 238 "A Thousand Songs"; The Great Sage explodes; "Wukong"

As someone born in the 1980s, Song was amazed when she first heard Cantonese songs in her previous life.

Back when I was in junior high school, pirated cassette tapes were rampant, and songs spread much faster than many people born in the 1990s and 2000s could have imagined.

In that era before the internet, living in a small northern town, there were arcades, billiard halls, and all sorts of popular songs.

It was practically the youth of that generation.

The so-called "simple and honest" is just a figment of many people's imagination.

Many people born in the 1970s were incredibly bold and started dating in junior high school.

However, Song is quite honest and mature late; he only likes listening to music.

The first Cantonese song I remember hearing was Hacken Lee's "Guardian of Flowers".

Having grown accustomed to Mandarin songs and the patriotic songs of the Spring Festival Gala, hearing a song like this all at once is quite a shock.

This was the first time I experienced the power of "popular songs".

So, speaking in broken Cantonese from Northeast China, I began my days of "searching" for Cantonese songs.

Later, I heard "Red Sun" and listened to songs by Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Paula Tsui, George Lam, Danny Chan, and others.

I started listening to BEYOND.

The Four Heavenly Kings and the others came after that.

When I first heard "A Thousand Songs", I felt as if my whole soul was struck.

At that time, I didn't really know who wrote the lyrics and music, let alone the joke that Miyuki Nakajima "supported" half of the Hong Kong music scene.

I just think this song is so beautiful.

Both the lyrics and the melody evoke such a beautiful feeling!
The boy felt no sadness.

I only felt a vague sense of emotion and being moved.

Even with a thick Northeastern Cantonese accent, he could still sing this song quite well.

Just like BEYOND's songs.

Then, in 1999, after the turn of 2000, when I heard Anita Mui's "Song of the Setting Sun," I just couldn't accept it.

I think it's far inferior to "A Thousand Songs".

It wasn't until I reached middle age, after experiencing a series of life changes before crossing over into this world, that I truly understood the meaning of "Song of the Setting Sun".

Just like the saying goes: If you don't listen to Jonathan Lee when you're young, you'll understand him when you're already a character in his songs.

There was a scene that moved him deeply: many years later, the "Princess Xian" of yesteryear had aged and was no longer the same as before.

During an event, they sang "A Thousand Songs," but suddenly it turned into "Song of the Setting Sun."

That scene was truly heartbreaking.

Those who didn't experience that era will never understand its significance.

Especially the final moment when Princess Xian turned back to look at the big screen and at Anita Mui, who was standing on the concert stage in a wedding dress.

That wasn't some "great reconciliation of the century," but rather a remembrance of the path we've traveled and a tribute to that era.

When Song Dao presented this song to Lin Fei, he had already planned to give her "Song of the Setting Sun" ten years later, after his superstar sister turned forty.

He knew how powerful "A Thousand Songs" was.

They also know how amazing "Song of the Setting Sun" is.

If songs were ranked, both of these songs would be considered god-tier in his mind.

and so.

His song "A Thousand Songs" for Lin Fei became an instant hit as soon as it was released!
Even though we live in different times and spaces, we share the same culture and beliefs. Like a tree that produces thousands of flowers, we all share the same roots.

Within just two hours of its release, it had already climbed to the top of the music streaming charts.

The most prestigious and valuable streaming chart to date!

A precipitous lead!

Lin Fei's voice, from the delicate restraint in the verses to the clear and explosive chorus, conveys the emotions in the song perfectly through its emotional curve of suppression, release, and sublimation.

It's okay if you don't understand the meaning of the song, because it's really beautiful!

It quickly rose to the top of the trending searches.

#Lin Fei's Thousand Songs#
The comments section exploded with amazement from countless people.

"My God, has Song Dao gone mad? He's spoiling this year's graduates too much! He's given out five songs at once, and he actually wrote a song for the students in Hong Kong. This song is so good."

"In an instant, there was so much to say, but unfortunately we will soon be on opposite sides of the world, so I can only gaze deeply at this moment... I cried while listening."

"What happened to not being hurtful?"

"To be honest, this song is sad but not tragic. It's not really a song that's meant to be heart-wrenching, but the problem is, I still can't help but feel sad."

"Lin Fei not only has amazing singing skills, but her voice is also full of emotion. I couldn't help but burst into tears. It was really heartbreaking!"

"I'm so touched. Hearing those four songs was already a pleasant surprise, but I never expected that Sister Faye would release such a new song. I really want to kneel down and kowtow to Teacher Song!"

"Graduation season, breakup season, 'slowly looking back on the nights that once belonged to each other,' I cried uncontrollably..."

……

Lü Hui is a graduate of Xiangjiang University in this year.

The post was made by Song Dao on her Weibo account.

I hope my idol, Song Dao, can write a Cantonese song.

Because her boyfriend of three years was about to go to a prestigious university to pursue a master's degree.

She has already received an offer from a large company in Washington State.

She and her boyfriend are both calm and rational people. When they got together, they said that neither of them believed in long-distance relationships.

So even though no one said those two words out loud, they all understood.

This separation may very well be a permanent one.

Sadness is inevitable, but it's unavoidable. They are all still young and have things they want to pursue.

Lu Hui was also experiencing conflicting and complicated feelings at the time, which is why she left a comment in Song Dao's comment section.

To my surprise, my idol actually liked it!

This filled her with a strong sense of anticipation.

She desperately wanted a song that resonated with her state of mind.

Get through these tough times.

However, when Jingting Music released those four songs, she couldn't hear the Cantonese version.

Admittedly, all four songs are very good!
The idol's song "Friends" should be very suitable for the brotherhood between boys!

—Friends walk together for a lifetime, those days are gone, a word, a lifetime, a lifetime of friendship, a cup of wine.

The simple and unpretentious lyrics evoke an incredibly pure feeling.

It wouldn't be a big problem to use it on my sisters.

I'll dedicate Kong Xi's "The Sea of ​​Stars" to my boyfriend whom I'm about to break up with!
Our future is all about "stars and the sea," and may our worlds be beautiful and bright.

Zhong Yutong's "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart" has such inspiring lyrics that it's perfect as background music for young people striving for success.

Chen Meng's "Youth" has such a beautiful melody; I think my parents would love it too.

I am still the same boy I used to be, without the slightest change.

But none of these were what she wanted most.

That feeling can't be found in the song either.

until.

Two hours later.

Lin Fei's "A Thousand Songs" suddenly appeared.

Like a beam of light.

It shone into her heart in an instant.

Idol Song Dao truly "gave" a Cantonese song to countless students in Hong Kong!

She has a habit of listening to music.

Read the lyrics first, then listen to the melody.

—Only as I was about to leave did I realize how beautifully sorrowful it was, all because of you, which made my memories so long; when will I be able to linger in this gaze again, just like tonight, letting our eyes speak for each other?

The moment I saw the lyrics, tears welled up uncontrollably, like a river bursting its banks or a torrent erupting from a mountain.

Song Dao is such a great writer!

Click to play.

Lin Fei's slightly low, gentle voice rang out.

The tone is clean and beautiful.

As the melody thickens and the drumbeats quicken, Lin Fei's voice grows increasingly powerful with the progression of emotion, and the emotions that erupt in the chorus are like a sudden storm.

"Even if a thousand songs drift on my distant road in the future, even if a thousand evening stars shine brighter than tonight's moon, none of them can compare to the beauty of this night..."

Unable to hold back any longer, Lü Hui picked up her phone with tears streaming down her face, ready to call her boyfriend, who was calmer and more rational than her... a science and engineering student.

But just then, her boyfriend called.

She answered the call instinctively.

Then a soft laugh came from the other end: "Honey, I suddenly don't want to go to America anymore..."

Lü Hui remained silent.

It’s not that I don’t want to.

It's something I can't bring myself to say.

His eyes were blurred with tears.

"I think pursuing a master's degree in Washington State isn't out of the question. The educational standards in our country have improved. I just inquired about the major I'm interested in, and it just so happens that a large group of top experts who returned from the US are now teaching at universities in Washington State..."

Lü Hui held her phone, listening to her boyfriend's feignedly relaxed voice through the receiver.

She choked back tears as she asked, "Why? Going to Harvard, wasn't that your dream since you were little?"

Perhaps because he heard his girlfriend crying, there was a moment of silence on the other end.

I finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He said, "I can't bear to part with you."

……

The next day.

A video suddenly went viral online.

In the video.

She was a pretty girl with a sunny and handsome young man.

The girl was still crying when the recording started.

The song playing in the room was Lin Fei's new song "A Thousand Songs" released last night.

Soon, she calmed down and, together with her boyfriend, spoke in standard Mandarin, recounting how she had asked Song Dao online to compose a Cantonese song for Hong Kong graduates.

They began to recount their love story.

Both parties described themselves as having calm and rational personalities.

It also mentioned that after graduation, everyone will go their separate ways and pursue their own futures.

“I never thought I would become ‘unreasonable’ one day,” the boy said, holding the girl’s hand. “But after listening to the new song by pop diva Lin Fei, I suddenly realized that if I continue to be this calm, I will definitely regret it one day. So I decided to be impulsive and choose to go to the same city as her.” The boy said gently.

"I don't want to say 'I don't know when I'll sing with you again.' I'm grateful for my boyfriend's efforts, and we'll be fine!" The girl's eyes sparkled as she said this.

These two people were Lü Hui and her boyfriend.

This video may be tagged with "A Thousand Songs", "Song Dynasty", and "Lin Fei".

After it was published, the website quickly generated traffic.

Then there's the kind of "choosing again because of love," which has touched many people.

The video went viral instantly.

Countless people sent their blessings in the comments section.

What truly made the video go viral was a single reply from Song Dao within it—

Congratulations, and best wishes to you both.

Numerous netizens left comments under Song Dao's reply.

"Dog Bro is so sweet!"

"I'm in love! This couple looks so much like a married couple!"

"Brother, your 'impulsiveness' was right. We all live in the moment. No matter what the future holds, at least we won't regret it in this moment, and that's enough!"

"Waaaaah, I'm so envious! They're both top students, especially the guys who are in STEM fields. Their occasional romantic gestures are so sweet!"

"Haha, Song Dao and Lin Fei probably didn't expect this new song to have this kind of effect, right?"

"It's so heartbreaking to watch. If there had been a song like this back then, perhaps the ending between him and me would have been different?"

"To be honest, Dog Brother is so heartwarming this year. Even Lin Tianhou's new song is sad but not tragic, giving people a sense of relief amidst the sadness. The other songs are even better. This year's graduates are really lucky!"

"Last year I almost got stabbed to death by those two songs, but this year Brother Dog finally turned over a new leaf..."

……

The top rankings have once again been dominated by the Fei Yang faction.

People are used to this phenomenon.

Even the singers have long since given up the struggle.

The sales charts are still up.

However, after the controversy last year, the prestige of this list has plummeted.

Even many singers consider being on this list a shameful thing.

Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai, in particular, are top celebrities who have truly benefited from the fan culture for many years, and recently they have both begun to try to "detach" themselves from it.

They are trying to change the situation of being controlled by crazed fans.

It's a pity that the effect is not great.

The same rice feeds all kinds of people.

The Xia Kingdom has too many people; it's never short of idiots.

Many of these two's biggest fans are not children!

There are "older sister fans", "mom fans", "auntie fans", and even "grandma fans".

There's also the evil "0" hidden within the fan base.

This group of people spends money far more recklessly than those ignorant teenagers.

This is how the two rose to power; this group is the foundation upon which their "throne" rests.

It's impossible to extricate yourself now!

In the agent's words: "Don't be silly. Without them, you'll soon be nothing! You can't learn Fei Yang's methods at all. As for Song Dao, he's a peerless genius, a prodigy in the eyes of geniuses. Putting aside his business strategy, just as a person, he's in a class of his own in the entire Xia Kingdom entertainment industry. Don't mess with him, focus on building your own careers, take advantage of your youth, don't be extravagant, save up some money quickly, and don't think you can stay famous forever..."

Both Wang Xiaobo and Sun Kai understand this principle.

I'm really envious!

They now only regret that they have no control over their own lives.

Otherwise, no matter what, I have to follow Song.

The popularity of "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" has exploded.

At the same time, "Kan Video" also began promoting "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on its own app.

The premiere of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is scheduled for June 16th!
It symbolizes good fortune and smooth sailing.

As for the buzz, it's bound to be huge.

After all, anything related to Song Dao is bound to attract attention.

However, compared to the "Great Sage," it falls far short.

Even so, Mr. Zou, who was "watching the video," was particularly excited.

Because of their promotion, new users have begun to surge, with a year-on-year growth of over 300%!
Spending so much money, investing, and buying at high prices—isn't this the ultimate goal?
In particular, one-third of these newly registered users paid for memberships immediately after registering!

Mr. Zou also did something a bit unconventional. On his own website, he not only promoted "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" but also advertised "The Monkey King".

—Watch Monkey King first, then watch Legend of the Condor Heroes.

No matter how you look at it, it's not as good as Tencent Video or Dream Video, but it's still one of the three giants in video streaming.

With such publicity, it's impossible for it to have no impact at all.

Meanwhile, posters and related merchandise for "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" can be seen everywhere in cinemas across the Xia Kingdom.

……

The competition for summer movie seasons has always been fierce.

As Hollywood films decline in popularity in China, various types of domestic films are emerging.

The movies released recently are all big-budget productions.

There is a sci-fi blockbuster called "Starry Sky Fortress" which is said to have cost 1 billion yuan to produce. It is produced by Times Media and stars Sun Kai, a top star of Times Media, and a popular young actress.

This film was approved before the Lunar New Year, but it missed the Spring Festival season and has been shelved ever since, with the aim of making a big splash during the summer season!
There is also an art film produced by Starlight Entertainment, touted as a transformative work for top star Wang Xiaobo.

It is said that a lot was sacrificed to make this movie.

He lost weight, made himself ugly, and got himself all dirty in an attempt to achieve a major breakthrough in his character's image.

Prior to this, Starlight's goal for this film was to win an award, and it had to be a big one!
Meanwhile, Times Media has proclaimed its ambition to break the box office record of "Demon Love".

They claim that their "Starfortress" is the best science fiction film of the last twenty years!

Song Dao had seen the trailers for both films. Among them, Star Fortress, which is also being released tonight like "Monkey King: Hero Is Back," seemed pretty good based on the trailer alone.

Thanks to the rapid development of AI technology in the past two years, special effects are now far more realistic and stunning than ever before.

Key costs have been reduced by an enormous margin.

In this situation, even if the total investment of one billion is drastically reduced, if half of it is used for the film itself, it shouldn't be too bad.

However, Song Dao inexplicably thought of another "fortress" from his past life memories.

Yes, that's the one.

Another film, "Wilderness Love," which will be released tomorrow, is a film that Starlight Entertainment is ambitiously aiming for major awards, even though Wang Xiaobo did put in a lot of effort to make this film.

He also said something against his conscience, like not doing it for the sake of box office revenue.

Song Dao still wasn't very optimistic.

The core of the story is too old.

Even though he only watched the trailer, he was still struck by the strong atmosphere of the 1980s and 90s.

It tells the story of the suffering of that era—cuckoldry, domestic violence, alcoholism, poverty, and two lonely souls scarred by their wounds.

It has a very strong smell!
Perhaps I can get it if I go abroad?

Of course, given Starlight's established reputation, it's hard to say what will happen domestically.

It's already 2027, and they still come up with a film like this to disgust the Chinese people.

What else can be said?
All I can do is wish Xiaobo well.

This child has had a tough time, but he's a really good person.

"Honey, do you think this outfit will look good on me tonight?" The mature and sophisticated woman walked out of the dressing room.

Song Dao was slightly taken aback.

Her long, flowing, wavy hair was gone, replaced by a cute bun.

The light, natural-looking makeup gives off an extremely fresh and clean vibe.

She was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a cute anime print on her upper body, and a pair of casual cotton sweatpants on her lower body.

Hmm, a pure and innocent female college student!

Really big!
The "beautiful girl" originally had an oval face, but now she has a round face.

This is the same Summer Rhythm Spring series T-shirt; Yanbao bought the large size.

Then there's that increasingly perky buttocks and those ridiculously long legs; even wearing such pants, they still exude an incredibly strong allure.

I really wanted to pull down her pants and see her legs underneath.

Seeing the slightly off look in Song Dao's eyes, Yan Yu said a little guiltily, "Don't be silly, there's not enough time..."

Song Dao glanced at the brass wall clock on the wall, a perfect blend of art and technology.

It's ten o'clock.

It's definitely not enough.

He nodded reluctantly: "Then why did you dress like that to seduce me?"

For a woman, there is no compliment more sublime than this.

Phrases like "You look so beautiful today" or "Baby, you look so gorgeous today" are meaningless.

It's not that I can't talk about it, but it's not very informative.

Especially the phrase "old married couple," Song Dao's words carry extraordinary power.

That's how it is during the year.

I'm always worried about getting old and losing my looks.

This is especially true for mature women who desperately want children.

She wasn't afraid that Song would go out to pick wildflowers; she was afraid that her own big wolfhound would get tired of her one day.

It seems alright now; the scoundrel is still very sexually interested in her, and the way he looks at her is still naked, undisguised, and full of aggression.

"Let's go then!"

She came over with a smile and took Song Dao's arm.

He looked very happy.

……

Despite the sufficient pre-release hype and the apparent strong box office performance, Song Dao still ignored the numerous calls to hold a premiere for this animated film.

As the saying goes, one can be proud, but not arrogant.

Don't do things like popping champagne at halftime.

However, he still booked two IMAX theaters at a cinema chain under the Xia Guo Publishing Group, the one closest to the company headquarters, and invited the entire company and his friends to watch the movie in batches.

Most of the people at this midnight screening tonight are probably company employees.

People like my godparents and Teacher Li Jun, who are older, are almost certainly not going to come at night.

Sister Zhou, Xia Hong, Qin Lang, and the others may not come either.

Since we've already informed him, these people can just come in.

Originally the number one cinema chain in Xia Kingdom, and now the number two, Publishing Cinema Chain has more than 800 cinemas and more than 8,000 screens nationwide.

After being overtaken by "Times Cinema", they have put a lot of effort into this area over the years.

We have renovated and replaced the screen and equipment to strive to provide the best movie-watching experience for our audience.

Although it may not be obvious, "publishing theaters" are the backing behind Earth Pictures.

This can be seen from the film scheduling.

The era of "reconciliation" and proactively seeking peace gave "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" 12% of the screenings.

Belatedly, Starlight Entertainment, which had "not yet reconciled," gave eight percent.

The cinemas that followed the top three also had a success rate of around 8%.

Even without that "ban," even having obtained a copy and knowing that this "animated film" was quite well made.

Under the influence of the outdated mindset that "domestic animation is no good," the vast majority of cinemas are not even cautiously optimistic.

It's simply a matter of not being optimistic.

Providing 8% is already quite good.

Meanwhile, the "publishing and cinema chain" was quite supportive, directly allocating 23% of the screenings!
Even the big-budget film "Star Fortress" only received 18%.

The screening ratio for "Monkey King" is considered by many in the industry to be an incredibly generous gesture.

Many people even mocked: Don't look back and see a theater with only a few people, and then buy your own tickets!
That would be so embarrassing!

The entire film industry, along with the film investment circle, is largely expecting this movie to flop.

Earth Pictures is hogging the profits from this animated film!

The investors are only their own people.

Of course, even if Song wanted to go out and attract investment, almost no one would invest in this area.

Earth Pictures hasn't made it public, but there are no secrets in the industry. According to some rumors, the animated film "Monkey King" cost more than 300 million yuan!

More than 300 million yuan in real money, gambling on an animated film?

It's crazy!
Even within the "publishing and cinema chain," there is considerable controversy regarding this screening rate.

Even though the pre-sales were high a few days ago, many people believe that it was because the "Monkey King" movie had been heavily hyped up in the past month!

Song Dao and Fei Yang have many fans.

After all, he's a top-tier star in his own right. No matter what, Song Dao's name alone is enough to support a box office of one or two hundred million.

But what happens next?

If it becomes unsustainable, then it will be a precipitous drop!
At that point, we'll probably have to rely on big-budget productions like Star Fortress to keep things afloat.

When Song Dao and Yan Yu arrived fully armed, many people had already entered the venue.

Lin Fei, accompanied by Kong Xi, had already entered the venue ahead of time.

The cinema's lounge was crowded, mostly with young people, and almost all of them had come to see Monkey King.

Because the venue was booked out tonight, many celebrities came, and many of Fei Yang's fans came to show their support.

So when Song Dao and Lin Fei appeared, they were recognized by many people.

Song is too eye-catching. Even with a hat and mask covering her face, she can't escape the eyes of her fans.

However, many people didn't recognize Yan Yu immediately after she changed her style.

She even put a little distance between herself and Song.

Then, while a group of fans were greeting Song Dao, he took off with his long legs and very disloyally slipped away.

"Song has arrived!"

"Wow, it's Teacher Song!"

"Dog brother!"

"God is good."

This sudden shout immediately attracted more attention, and everyone turned to look at Song Dao.

Fortunately, there were many people getting on the elevator at the time, and no one noticed Yan Yu.

Song Dao could only take off his mask and greet the excited crowd: "Hello everyone, are you all here to see the Great Sage?"

"Yes!" The group answered in unison, as if they were at a fan meeting.

"Believe me, you won't regret it!" Song Dao said.

"If it's not good, can you write a couple more songs to make up for it?" someone asked loudly.

This immediately caused a burst of laughter.

“It will definitely be good!” Song Dao said. “I will definitely write a couple more poems for you.”

Many people immediately burst into applause, startling some who were wearing headphones and unaware of what was happening.

Does it have a cat-related problem?

Applause in the movie theater lounge?

But when he turned around, he saw that outstanding figure, and his eyes widened immediately.

Damn it.

It's Song Dao!
Without giving the group any more chances, Song apologized while walking inside with a smile: "Everyone, enjoy the movie. If you like it, don't forget to give it a five-star review!"

puff!
There was another burst of laughter behind me.

Song entered the private IMAX theater.

The theater lights were on a little while before the movie started.

Upon his arrival, at least a third of the people in the already mostly occupied seats instinctively stood up.

Song Daochao waved to the crowd: "We're just here to relax, no need to say hello, everyone just go about your business!"

Then he walked to the tenth row.

Somewhat surprisingly, Xia Hong, Chu Peining, Qin Lang, as well as Jiang Ying, Shi Yuyan, Hou Tianwei, Zhang Huan, and Bi Xuefeng all came.

In the eighth and ninth rows were Zhong Yutong and others.

The group of people from the baozi production team were all in front.

Ma Shen, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was also there.

He sat down next to Hou Tianwei.

"You guys don't sleep at night?" Song was genuinely surprised.

If it weren't for the fact that this was his own movie, he would have already been sleeping with the mature and powerful woman and the diva at this hour.

Chu Pei-ning: "This is the first film produced by your film company, little brother, I have to come and support it!"

Xia Hong: "You didn't even buy a ticket!"

Chu Peining: "What are you saying? I originally wanted to book the whole venue for my studio and a bunch of friends, but they said the tickets for the first two days were sold out and they wouldn't book them. Then I thought, I probably wouldn't be able to book the tickets for the days after that either, since it will be popular by then, and booking the whole venue would be a bit unfair." Xia Hong: "That's why they say folk singers have to be sweet-talking."

Although they were all friends, no one joked excessively. After exchanging greetings, they found the seats Lin Fei had reserved for him and Yan Yu, and sat between the two women.

Lin Fei's side is doing somersault cat.

Seeing Song arrive, Kong Xi smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling.

Strictly speaking, Kong Xi's real mentor should be Lin Fei.

It was Lin Fei who discovered Kong Xi, who was then a freshman at the Central Conservatory of Music and an internet celebrity at the time.

Although I couldn't offer much support in terms of the works themselves, I did teach a lot in the field of music.

He would carry it with him even when he wasn't busy, otherwise he wouldn't have become so familiar with Yan Yu.

This is also why her two older sisters accepted her without hesitation.

own people.

Know everything about someone.

After Song sat down, the movie started a few minutes later.

……

Earth Pictures' logo is a round globe with a golden dragon coiled on top of it.

On the big screen, a slowly rotating blue planet finally stops on the map of Xia Kingdom. A golden dragon flies out from the sky, coils around the planet, and roars with its head held high!

The group of people present instinctively started to applaud.

To be honest, this logo is really cool!
The film "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" was produced in 2D, which allows for the best color reproduction and ultra-high definition.

At this moment, the theater lights went out, leaving only the opening credits appearing rapidly on the big screen.

They started with a royal flush!
The story tells of how, five hundred years ago, amidst raging flames, Sun Wukong, clad in golden chainmail, wearing a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and wielding his golden cudgel, fought a fierce battle against 100,000 heavenly soldiers.

He laughed wildly as he shattered the plaque of the Lingxiao Palace, but when the Buddha's palm struck down, a trace of unwilling sorrow flashed in his eyes—the Five Finger Mountain closed with a crash, leaving only the burning seal of the Buddha on his right wrist.

At this moment, a chaotic black mist in the shadows of the mountaintop stared at this instant and let out a low, mocking laugh.

This very first scene caused many people in the audience to gasp in surprise.

In this world, "Journey to the West" has not yet formed the same deep-rooted sentiment as in another time and space.

Despite the book's recent popularity, coupled with the horror hype surrounding "Monkey King: Hero Is Back," even more people are flocking to bookstores to buy it.

But the time was ultimately too short, and there weren't as many derivative stories as in the previous life.

For the people of Xia Kingdom, this is actually an animated film with excellent special effects and a great storyline.

But that's enough!
Just like Nezha in the past life of Song Dynasty, countless viewers only watch the film itself after entering the theater.

The movie version of Nezha is completely different from the character in the original novel.

Therefore, the core of a movie lies in its story content. As for sentimentality, it's best to have it, but it's not a big deal if you don't.

Song Dao has already watched it many times.

He came here primarily to observe people's reactions to the film.

good results!

The very first scene successfully drew the audience into the viewing experience.

As the story unfolds, everyone becomes even more focused.

Especially those who are no longer so young, such as Chu Peining, Xia Hong, Jiang Ying, and Shi Yuyan.

They came here specifically to support Song Dao.

What do I really think?

Of course, I hope Song Dao's movie will be a huge hit.

However, they are still stuck in the past and do not think they would like watching an animated film.

Unexpectedly, they all took it all in!

The feeling has changed from "I'm here to show my support" to "I'm a true spectator."

When I saw that scene on the screen—

Jiang Liuer's eyes lit up as he jumped around Sun Wukong, asking, "Are you really the Great Sage Equal to Heaven? Can you transform into a three-headed, six-armed being? Where's the somersault cloud? Where's the golden cudgel?"

The Great Sage was so annoyed that he covered his ears in frustration: "Shut up, or I'll throw you into a ravine!"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Liuer had already climbed onto his back, tugging at his monkey fur and pointing to the clouds: "Great Sage, look! Doesn't that cloud look like your flattened face?"

A burst of laughter immediately filled the theater.

Next, as the villain appears, the Demon King Chaos manifests. In human form, he is a pale and effeminate scholar with countless blood-red threads hidden in his wide sleeves; when he reveals his true form, he transforms into a nine-headed behemoth, each head a faceless black hole that devours the essence of living beings.

They kidnapped young boys and girls in order to refine their Yin souls and break through the thousand-year lightning tribulation.

It must be said that Baozi and his team created incredibly realistic characters, monsters, and scenes.

Every glance, every movement, even the eyelashes, are clearly discernible.

His almost obsessive focus and dedication ultimately yielded unimaginable and enormous rewards.

At this moment, Baozi was still wearing a T-shirt that cost a few dozen yuan and shorts, sitting in the front row.

They stared intently at every frame on the big screen.

To say that he and his team are something to be disgusted by is an understatement.

The production process was arduous, and there were various edits, modifications, and adjustments after the final cut was completed.

It's no exaggeration to say that he knows every single scene by heart and can recite them instantly.

But he still really liked it and never got tired of it.

Hearing the laughter, exclamations, and gasps behind him, the sense of accomplishment made him forget about the bare-legged little girls.

A down-on-his-luck Monkey King, talkative Jiang Liuer, and gluttonous Pigsy (who was beaten back into pig form by the Monkey King) form an escape team.

Whether it's the hilarious scene of Pigsy's gluttony or the poignant moment in the rain-soaked temple where Jiang Liuer huddles by the fire and softly asks the Great Sage, "When you were trapped under the mountain alone, were you afraid of the dark?", these scenes evoke a range of emotions in every viewer.

……

Film critic "Uncle Old Cat," who was also in the same theater but bought his own ticket, is trying to "break free" from the perspective of an ordinary viewer.

He actually came to find fault.

As a well-known independent film critic, his status in the film industry is roughly equivalent to that of Cui Luo in the music criticism circle.

What they have in common is that they are both sharp-tongued and have a particularly dark tongue!
The difference is that his reputation is much better than Cui Luo's before.

Of course, this refers to his reputation among netizens.

Even many well-known directors have a love-hate relationship with this person.

If a movie is well-made, he can praise it to the skies, analyzing and praising it from every angle.

But if the filming is poor, his foul mouth can be so venomous that even a famous director can't help but publicly curse him out—he's just a troll!

However, netizens find "Uncle Old Cat" to be incredibly endearing.

With tens of millions of followers across the internet, it has a huge influence.

Someone once calculated that some of the niche art films he recommended could single-handedly boost box office revenue by tens of millions!

Those who were criticized by him... well, they all fared very badly.

Over the years, there have been many attempts by those with capital to recruit or support him, but unfortunately, this guy is a rich second-generation.

He's the kind of guy who drives sports cars and lives in luxury homes; as long as he doesn't start a business, he'll have more wealth than he could ever spend in eight lifetimes.

They completely ignored the olive branches offered to them.

They were even threatened.

He was even less afraid of this, not only confronting them head-on, but also having taken them to court several times and sent them to jail.

In the eyes of many film and television companies, this guy is like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard.

He came here today with the intention of finding fault!
He definitely has no grudge against Song Dao; in fact, he's a die-hard fan of both Song Dao and Fei Yang.

Especially after it was revealed that Shuiji Sanqian was Song Dao's pen name, he praised Song Dao's musical works so much that he went so far as to record a video analyzing those film and television songs word by word, using the methods of analyzing film and television dramas.

However, he was firmly opposed to Song Dao's involvement in the film and television industry!

I feel like Dog Bro has completely gotten cocky!

A godfather of the music industry, a great poet, a calligrapher... does that mean he can write screenplays and make movies and TV series?

You are a genius, and netizens have promoted you from a "hexagonal warrior" to a "circular warrior".

But that's only in the music industry.

Are you capable of handling film and television productions?
He has read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" three times and "Journey to the West" twice.

Both novels are of different genres and are excellent books!

There is no doubt about this.

But what gives you the right, Song Dao, to make the adaptation?

He initially wanted to criticize "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," but unexpectedly, before "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was even released, "Monkey King" suddenly appeared.

Before Uncle Old Cat arrived, he had already prepared a plan for how to give Song Dao a thorough dressing-down and bring him to his senses.

Go back to your music scene and use that time to write a couple more great theme songs for movies and TV shows.

Then there is no more.

An animated film adapted from Journey to the West is not only not childish at all, but also well-made, and the core story is surprisingly wonderful!

To be honest, he was really surprised!

From the very first moment, he was drawn to Earth Pictures' dynamic logo.

It seems like Song Dao has some skills too.

As the film began, he became completely engrossed in each scene.

It's impossible to step back and scrutinize the situation to find fault or strengths.

After struggling a few times, I finally gave up.

"Damn it, forget it! I'll just buy another ticket and watch it again."

no way.

The plot is so captivating!
We can only share the joys and sorrows of the characters in the film.

However, as a professional film critic, he can still see many metaphors and foreshadowings that are difficult for the audience to see.

Both the emotional build-up and the final climax are incredibly moving.

Especially the final battle scene at the end of the film.

It's so hot it'll explode!

Chaos transformed into a colossal beast that blotted out the sky, and black mist devoured the city.

The Buddha seal on the Great Sage's right wrist shattered inch by inch, and the Golden Cudgel burst forth from the lava!

He walked through the flames, his armor reborn in the fire, and the golden light in his eyes was like the rising sun.

This blow will reduce you to ashes!
Like everyone else in the theater, Uncle Cat was thrilled while watching!

As chaos vanished, a faint child's voice echoed from the ruins: "Great Sage..."

Sun Wukong, clad in a bright red cloak, turned and looked back...

Uncle Cat's nose tingled, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Actually, before this, many young men and older men in the theater were already crying like fools.

next moment.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted throughout the theater!
What is the highest praise?
This is!
Can't help it!

It was completely subconscious; I felt that without doing something, it would be difficult to express the surging emotions within me.

Uncle Old Cat also clapped his hands.

Then take a deep breath.

Song Dao... Sure!

No, I have to book tickets right away. Judging by the looks of it, this movie is going to be a hit.

Uncle Old Cat, whose real name is "Old Cat" but is actually a handsome young man in his mid-twenties, took out his phone and glanced at it.

Then I was dumbfounded.

Your sister's account was completely full for the next few days!
No, the midnight showing of the movie just ended. Before the movie started, he checked his schedule for the next few days and found he had plenty of free time!
Little did he know that many film critics, just like him, who were ready to vehemently criticize Song Dao, couldn't help but speak up halfway through the film.

The movie is not even two-thirds of the way through, yet it has already topped the trending topics on major social media platforms.

Damn it!

Uncle Old Cat's handsome face was full of speechlessness.

I want to watch it again and write a long, serious review!
Just as everyone was getting ready for the post-credits scene, Song Dao's voice suddenly rang out—

"The moon glitters across the Milky Way, the road stretches endlessly, the smoke and dust have cleared, leaving only a solitary shadow. Who granted me such extraordinary skill? Who tormented me with love and hate? In the end, my heart is broken..."

What the hell!

Some impatient viewers who were too lazy to watch the post-credits scene had already gotten up and were ready to leave.

Upon hearing this sound, everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Calling out to Buddha once, there is no turning back; kneeling before one as a teacher, life and death are irrelevant!"

The moment that Peking Opera style appeared, many people felt their scalp tingle!

Many people familiar with Song Dao feel a sense of returning to when they listened to "When Love Has Become the Past".

That sound is absolutely amazing!
At this moment, everyone still had the image of the Great Sage's final outburst lingering in their minds.

When they heard that line—"What use is this iron rod to me? What good are these changes to me? I'm still uneasy, still melancholy. Oh, the golden headband is on my head, I want to say something but can't"—the tingling sensation on their scalp combined with the boiling blood forced everyone to stay rooted to the spot.

Can't move!

"This song, holy crap... it's kind of interesting! But why does the mood feel a little... out of place with the film?"

In the time it takes to make one film, the young Uncle Lao Mao himself didn't even realize that he had gone from being a "Song-to-film critic" to someone who thought: "There must be a deeper meaning behind what he did!"

When you're powerful, great scholars will naturally come to debate with you!

……

When Song arrived at the theater, he was greeted with enthusiastic applause.

However, the artists and employees of the "Fei Yang Group" here all have specific goals.

They first applauded the steamed bun team who turned around and kept bowing in the front row.

Then, at Baozi's gesture, he applauded enthusiastically for Song Dao behind him.

Xia Hong, Chu Peining, and the others all had red eyes from crying, then smiled and clapped vigorously at Song Dao.

Everyone knows that this film was a success!
Even though he was full of confidence before, it was only at this moment that Song Dao truly breathed a sigh of relief.

In its previous life, this film was closer to a traditional 2D animated film due to factors such as production budget and release time.

But in this time and space, both technology and funding are abundant.

The visuals and image quality have been improved to a whole new level.

It's even closer to the second part of Nezha before Song Dao's time travel... Birth of the Demon Child!
Therefore, Song Dao can certainly have higher expectations for the box office performance of this film.

It was originally less than one billion.

But this time, he felt that the Great Sage would win beautifully!
The two goddesses beside Song, who had been spending money on this film without hesitation or reason, couldn't help but hug him.

A group of young employees from the Fei Yang Group immediately started to jeer in the theater.

There are many legends about the boss and his female confidantes, but the most widely accepted ones are Lin Fei and Yan Yu.

However, even if there were evidence, insiders wouldn't spread such things around.

Because it was already late, and I experienced a lot of emotional ups and downs along with the film.

Everyone was a bit tired at this point.

After seeing off a group of friends, Song gave Baozi, who was waiting there, a big hug.

He said with a smile, "Brother, you're only one step away from your dream!"

Baozi, who didn't cry while watching the movie, now has some redness in her eyes.

"Thank you, Boss!"

"We're family, don't say that, just get some rest..."

"No, I want to be Nezha!"

Song arrived: "..."

When it comes to the self-cultivation of a tool person, who can match me, Boss Bao?
……

Uncle Old Cat is getting a little impatient.

On his way back, while waiting at a red light, he saw a lot of comments from his peers about "Monkey King".

He is a proud man.

In the field of independent film critics, they are in a class of their own.

They are usually unwilling to "grab a front seat".

—You all say what you want, and after you've all finished, I'll comment on a film or television series from a completely different perspective and angle.

Trying to ride the wave of popularity is pointless!
But today he really couldn't help himself.

I was planning to see it a second time, but I couldn't get any tickets.

Then, after a moment's thought, he was surprised to find that almost the entire plot, from beginning to end, was in his head!

Since that's the case, let's try something new!

I ordered takeout on my way home, and it arrived just as I got there.

He lived alone in the cold, luxurious mansion, which was over 300 square meters in size.

Take out a few cans of beer and put the takeout on the worktable.

I ate, drank, and wrote all at the same time.

……

On the morning of June 11th.

Uncle Old Cat published a long commentary across all his online accounts.

After posting on all the platforms, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and went to bed.

First, I want to apologize to Song Dao. I originally wanted to criticize you, but this film has won me over.

There are many things I want to say about the film "Monkey King: Hero Is Back".

[First, there's the breaking point—the critical juncture of accumulated emotions, the awakening of the Monkey King's dignity and responsibility...]

Then comes the tear-jerking moment—Jiang Liuer's death and rebirth.

When the Monkey King, having exhausted all his strength, defeated the Demon King, he weakly said, "Let's rest for a while, then we'll go together," only to witness Jiang Liuer being struck by a monster, his little hand slipping as the Monkey King doll fell, stained with blood. Just as everyone couldn't help but shed tears, the soft "Monkey King" at the end hinted at survival. This "heartbreaking + hopeful" design touched everyone's desire to protect innocence...

The Great Sage's fall and awakening highlight the vulnerability of heroes during their lowest points and the warmth of being healed.

The details of the master-disciple bond are particularly well done. When Jiang Liuer is being chased, the Great Sage says "Don't follow me," but he can't help but protect him in secret; when the child is injured and unconscious, the Great Sage secretly uses leaves to shade him from the sun—this kind of protection that is said but not meant implies the redemptive logic that "heroes need to be needed."

The film uses the theme of "hero's fall from grace and awakening" as its main storyline, but it's actually about how ordinary people awaken their inner courage. The thrilling moments and heart-wrenching scenes ultimately point to one theme: a true hero is not omnipotent, but someone who chooses to stand up in the face of despair...

I won't spoil any more of the plot; you can see it for yourself in theaters. It's definitely a film worth seeing.

[But what truly surprised me first, then astonished me, and then left me deeply puzzled, was something else entirely—the end credits song.]

[The song is sung by Song Dao, and it's amazing! But I was immediately struck by a strong doubt: Song Dao couldn't possibly not know that the emotions conveyed in the song are different from those in the film.]

After returning, I pondered for a long time. I dare not say that I fully understand Professor Song's thoughts, but I can only offer some personal insights.

The song "Wukong" gives me the feeling that it's a poetic expression of destiny and loneliness.

[Calling out to Buddha, there is no turning back; what use is this iron rod to me? These all metaphorically represent the individual's struggle for freedom and faith.]

The poignant feeling of being hampered by the golden headband, the unspoken sorrow, and the sense of powerlessness of a hero bound by rules—this actually aligns more closely with the tragic theme of "the taming of the rebels" in the original Journey to the West.

Therefore, I think that Teacher Song wrote this song to pay homage to the original work.

The film *Monkey King: Hero Is Back* tells the story of the rebirth of childlike innocence and heroism! The film downplays Sun Wukong's identity as a "rebel" and instead awakens his sense of responsibility as a protector through Jiang Liuer's pure faith.

The theme focuses on "how ordinary people become heroes," which contrasts sharply with "how heroes fight against fate" in "Wu Kong."

Therefore, in my opinion, the reason why Teacher Song chose this song as the end credits song for "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" is equivalent to saying: the movie is suitable for all ages, while the song is for us adults! Like two flowers blooming on the same tree, "Wukong" is a solitary chant in the dark night, while "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" is a rebirth under the dawn. Together, they constitute a multifaceted interpretation of the work "Journey to the West"—from solitary courage to warmth, from destruction to rebirth.

I don't know if my interpretation is correct, but I've done my best. Finally, I want to wholeheartedly recommend this movie again. I don't want to say, like many of my colleagues, that this is a sign of the rise of Chinese animation. I just want to say that this is a good movie—vivid, natural, profound, concise, and unpretentious. You'll regret not watching it!

……

Even without Uncle Lao Mao's excellent film review, "Monkey King" was already a hit.

Ultimately, it's not that people don't want to go to the cinema to watch movies.

Many people are arguing that the economic environment is bad and movie tickets are too expensive, but that's just nonsense.

The most expensive IMAX movie ticket costs only seventy or eighty yuan, while a regular screen ticket costs forty or fifty yuan.

It's just the cost of a slightly extravagant takeout meal; it's not like we're going to the movie theater every day.

As long as the film is good enough, there will still be many people willing to support it.

What I fear most are those terrible movies that feed the audience shit, yet they still claim to be so sincere.

Are you seriously feeding him poop?

Who the hell would be so cheap as to eat that?!
With information so readily available these days, any young person knows this.

Don't be fooled by the fact that "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" is a midnight screening; for many young people, that's not a problem at all.

Why did the movie trend on major social media platforms halfway through its run?

On the one hand, some film critics lacked sportsmanship and published their reviews prematurely; on the other hand, those currently watching the film were eager to share this good news with their friends.

Stop playing games at home, the Monkey King is super cool!

So this morning, as expected, the Great Sage exploded completely, thanks to the crazy "praise" from the super-big mouth "Uncle Old Cat".

In contrast, news of Star Fortress being heavily criticized and ridiculed also trended on social media!

"Fortress," which premiered in the midnight slot alongside "Monkey King," received absolutely terrible reviews!

"What a fucking idiot I was! So many people said Monkey King: Hero Is Back was going to be great, why did I even watch it?"

"Seriously, this is outrageous! I saw the trailer and thought it was going to be a sci-fi blockbuster with top-notch special effects, but you turned out to be a love story set in the stars? And the worst part is, they're both expressionless!"

"Damn it! My girlfriend insisted on going to see her idol, Sun Kai. I thought the trailer looked good, so I figured I might as well go. But then I got fed a mouthful of shit. Damn it, my roommates went to see Monkey King, and when they came back they were giving me all sorts of spoilers. I wanted to buy tickets for Monkey King, but they were all gone! I'm so frustrated!"

"I'm speechless. It's 2027 already, and AI technology is so advanced! Even if I were to use AI to create special effects, it would look better than what you guys are making, right? And this is it? A billion-dollar investment?"

"Full of hope, I rushed into the movie theater, scoffing at the movie next door, 'What good movie can a singer like Song Yidao make?' I was wrong, really wrong. I have no right to comment on whether 'The Monkey King' is good or not because I haven't seen it, but 'Starry Sky Fortress' is truly fucking awful!"

"The entire movie is confined to just a few scenes, and the big-budget Star Wars scenes add up to less than thirty seconds. I'm wondering, where did you guys spend all your money?"

"I watched Sun Kai's movies before, and to be honest, they were so-so, barely watchable. But this one, I'm really speechless. He's just a total deadpan character!"

"Plot, plot, guys! Forget the special effects and acting, does Star Fortress even have a plot? If you can't make sci-fi, then don't fucking ruin people's lives, okay?"

On several major rating websites in China, "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" currently has a score of 9.5, while "Star Fortress," despite the fervent support of countless die-hard fans of Wang Xiaobo, only has a score of 8.0.

That's why it's impossible to give a zero score; otherwise, many people who were disgusted would definitely give a zero score without hesitation.

This is often the case; without the contrast of competitors, it's really hard to see how good your own products are.

With its top-notch plot and special effects, the Monkey King's first blow stunned Times Media's heavily invested "sci-fi masterpiece."

This was a scene that no one had expected before the movie was released.

After all, one is an animated film, and the other is a big-budget science fiction film.

Even though "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" cost a lot of money, it's still an animated film for children!
As it turned out, the overconfident Times Media hit a brick wall.

He bumped his head and got bumps all over it.

But soon.

A large number of articles criticizing and belittling others began to appear online.

A group of paid film critics, entertainment bloggers, and movie commentary bloggers began to wildly praise Star Fortress.

Then they belittled "Monkey King: Hero Is Back".

If you want to criticize someone, you can always find an angle.

Fortunately, even those who were paid didn't dare to recklessly stomp on the Monkey King.

They may not need a face, but they do need a reputation!
Even if this film has nothing to do with Song Dao, given how widely it's been leaked, most people wouldn't dare to make any wild guesses.

They can only pick some minor, insignificant points, using yin and yang metaphors.

They lavish praise on Star Fortress, exaggerating its strengths while glossing over its weaknesses.

Meanwhile, a large number of paid reviewers appeared on rating websites, giving "Monkey King" low scores and "Fortress" high scores.

However, none of this was of any use.

There was absolutely nothing that could stop the Great Sage from unleashing his power in this time and space.

No one has trouble with money.

Times Media is a conglomerate, and no matter how obedient its cinema chains are, they adjusted their film schedules immediately upon seeing this situation.

Increase the Great Sage's percentage from the original 12% to 20%.

Other cinemas quickly followed suit.

The star rating was adjusted to 22%, and some smaller-scale ones were even raised to over 50%!
If you don’t make money, you’re a bastard!
The Xia Guo Publishing Group, which had previously expressed reservations about the scheduling of films for "The Monkey King," has now fallen silent.

Increase the number of screenings to 30%!
Even so, it still couldn't satisfy the market's enthusiasm.

Tickets for the increased screenings sold out instantly!

The art film "Wilderness Love" from Starlight Entertainment, which premiered this morning, was completely wiped out by the flood.

Besides Wang Xiaobo's die-hard fans clamoring online: "My brother's acting skills have made a super breakthrough, he has the potential to be an award-winning actor!"
Then they spent money to buy a trending topic that didn't get much attention.

It barely made a ripple.

1 a.m. on June 12.

The box office figures for "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" on its opening day have been released.

The box office figures for the first day of release, from around 11 PM on the 10th to 11 PM tonight, are as follows:

2.52 billion!
Although it's far lower than the more than 600 million yuan opening day box office of Director Zhang's "Demon Love" last year, don't forget that this is an animated film first and foremost!

Secondly, when it was released last night, apart from the "publishing theater chain" giving it a high number of screenings, the only other option was to give it 12% of the screenings to "backstabbing" its peers.

The remaining percentages are all around 8%.

They adjusted the film schedule, mostly to the morning or even noon.

If "Monkey King" had been given screenings close to those in theaters from the beginning, even if it couldn't break the record of "Demon Love", it would have been very likely to double!

Star Fortress grossed 4.33 million yuan on its opening day!
Is it high?

Of course it's high!
This data already ranks it in the top 10 of Chinese film history.

The problem is, firstly, it has an extremely high number of screenings!
The times have given their own son such an exaggerated percentage of 45%.

Even publishing houses and theaters received 18%.

Second only to "Monkey King: Hero Is Back".

Sun Kai's large fan base, coupled with the previous cost-free promotion and that exciting trailer, all contributed to his success.

It did indeed lure in a large number of movie fans.

However, the film's reputation didn't even last a day before it completely collapsed.

According to some information gathered by Sun Zhe, Guo Qingsong, Li Qingqing and others.

According to numerous online reports, the attendance rate for "Star Fortress" tonight has become extremely low.

……

After receiving the first day's box office data, Earth Pictures' offices erupted in a frenzy.

Almost all the employees stayed today.

Everyone is waiting for the results of the company's first film.

With 2.52 million yuan, coupled with the current momentum and word-of-mouth, a box office "reverse decline" is almost a foregone conclusion.

Many prediction websites have given box office estimates of over 3 billion yuan, and some bolder ones have even predicted 5 billion yuan!
"Boss, when are we having the victory celebration banquet?"

In the film company's office area, Song, who is used to the old cadre's schedule, stayed up late again today.

Celebrate with my brothers.

Facing the excited Vice President Sun Zhe, Song Dao said, "What's the rush? Let's talk about it after we break 3 billion."

A gasp of surprise rang out instantly.

It still has to be the boss!
Most people start celebrating when they break 1 billion, but this guy actually shouted out 3 billion.

Even though many prediction websites have given this estimate, how many people actually believe that an animated film can sell this much at the box office?

"The boss is awesome!"

I don’t know who shouted.

Then everyone couldn't help but shout "Awesome!"

Sun Zhe couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He had some concerns before, even though the biggest investment in "Dasheng" came from the boss and Lin Fei, Yan Yu and a few others.

But the production company listed is Earth Pictures!

As the company's first film to be released, if it flops, it will be a major blow to everyone's morale.

Thankfully, the boss is awesome, and Boss Bao is awesome!
The huge success of this film has greatly boosted his confidence in the upcoming "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and that art film!
A large number of takeout orders were being delivered at that moment. Song was at the company and spent some time fooling around with the group.

As for the biggest contributor, "Boss Bao," he quietly slipped away after hearing the box office figures.

Led by a bunch of brothers, singing off-key "What use is this iron rod to me?", they went off to fight "Nezha" to the death.

Although I am an animation director, I will have many beautiful little sisters and older sisters in the future!

Just do it and that's it.
