"Follow the roaming monarch, anime will accompany you"
‖ The craze of "Nezha: The Devil Child" has not yet completely dissipated. Now there is another anime production "Journey to the West: The Reincarnation Demon King", this anime movie From the name alone, we know that it is about the story of Journey to the West, followed by the monkey Sun Wukong playing the protagonist. The roaming king only analyzes a wave of how I view this anime from the perspective of an ordinary anime lover. cinematique.
[1] "Journey to the West: The Reincarnation of the Demon King" applies the story of the Tang monk and his disciples stealing ginseng fruit in Wuzhuangguan. The plot structure is mixed. The animation film tells that Tang Seng and his apprentices came to the Wuzhuang Temple of Zhenyuan Daxian. Several people stole the ginseng fruit and caused a disaster. After that, Monkey King uprooted the ginseng fruit tree in a rage. So far, the plot is actually related to "Journey to the West". The plot is the same, the difference is that the ginseng fruit tree was uprooted and the infuriating seal that sealed the king of monsters was lifted, so a powerful monster Yuandi was released! Sun Wukong knew that he had caused a disaster, so he promised to Zhenyuan Daxian that he would take Yuandi back with his own hands as a guarantee of 500 years of freedom. At the same time, the remaining true Qi seal turned into a ginseng fruit and went with Sun Wukong.
"2" does not apply to the storyline.
‖ The first person to eat crabs may also eat spiders, but as long as they have not eaten it, who dares to say that spiders cannot eat? So now when we talk about the anime Journey to the West movie, we must think of a work "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Returns". Obviously, the return of the Great Sage directly took the story of Journey to the West and compiled a brand new story, but the Demon King in the World The bridge segment of stealing the ginseng fruit is used, in fact, this has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the story is logical and easy to be accepted by everyone. The disadvantage is that the lack of innovation makes it difficult for the audience to shine.
[2] "Journey to the West: The Reincarnation of the Demon King" may be difficult to win in today's masterful environment. The arguments supporting this view are divided into two parts:
① masters gather;
② their own strength is worrying.
‖ First of all, let’s talk about the gathering of masters. Let’s not talk about the other "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Returns", which is the hurdle that the Demon King of the Second World is difficult to overcome, whether it is plot, special effects, meaning, response, box office ! In reality, people will only remember the first and never think of the second. No one will pay attention to anyone before breaking the record; not to mention the later excellent animation movies such as "Big Fish and Begonia", "Nezha: The Devil Boy" It has refreshed the compelling style of the audience time and time again. The current audience is really picky. As long as the World Demon King can't be unique and show his own unique charm, it will be difficult to achieve good results; moreover, there will be good results in 2020. Popular animation movies such as Ba Si and Jiang Ziya have come out one after another, no matter whether it is IP or popularity, they are not comparable to the Demon King of the Second World.
‖ Next, let’s talk about the worry about our own strength. First of all, this anime movie is rumored to be released in 2020, but the promotional film was released as early as 2018, and it was exhausted after a single blow. It can be said that releasing the news a full year or two in advance will not only add points to the animation. Points will be deducted, because there will be no more surprises and it will only be unsatisfactory.
‖ Then we will look at the work itself, because it is about the theme of Journey to the West and the cover is Monkey King, so this work will definitely be compared with The Return of the Great Sage. It may be difficult to surpass it only from the promo; Take a look at the name of the anime, Reborn Demon King? At first I believed that many friends thought it was talking about Monkey King, but after watching the promotional video, I realized that it was talking about the invented demon king Yuandi. In addition, although the cover is Monkey King, the plot introduction is about Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting. + Ginseng fruit goes to play Yuandi together, too many roles and the focus is scattered is not necessarily a good thing.
‖Finally, let’s talk about what are the essential elements for a successful animation film today? In fact, the summary is:
① special effects are cool enough;
② should be educational;
③ should be touching;
‖ if it is cool enoughSo young people are likely to contribute to the box office; if there is educational significance, then young parents will bring their children to contribute to the box office; if it is touching, then the rate of return will rise sharply; if these three They all have the unique charm of a little more humor and doing the opposite, so this work is hard not to be popular. There is nothing wrong with the roaming monarch, which means "Nezha's Devil Child Comes to the World".
[Final] So we can speculate through the promotional film that this is a story of monkeys taking the juniors to fight monsters. Maybe the special effects will not deduct points but the extra points are difficult. Maybe the story is quite normal but it is difficult to break through. It is difficult to hook up with educational significance and resonant tears, so if possible, see you on the barrage of our home theater in 2020.
