Chapter 62: Monkey Goes Crazy
Inside the cinema, countless people had tears in their eyes and were excited at the sight of the exciting scenes on the big screen.
With the help of the relics accumulated by Tang Monk in ten lifetimes, the strongest Monkey King in history was born. With the melodious and sad background music, he easily killed the Green Lion Demon, the White Elephant Demon, the Golden Leopard, the Wolf Leader and a group of big monsters.
In the center of the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge, the majestic and sturdy Lion Camel City was shattered into pieces and collapsed at the mere aftermath of the golden cudgel.
After the incident, the legend of the Great Sage will be spread here. He destroyed the Lion Camel Ridge alone and caused the nine states to fall with one stick.
The world is turned upside down, and it is the end of demons.
The extremely arrogant and cunning golden-winged eagle seemed to be frightened by the scene before him and asked in horror: "You, you actually killed them?"
The Great Sage turned his head and looked, his eyes red.
The golden-winged Roc was so frightened that it leaped into the air, revealing its original form, and with a flap of its wings it reached the foot of the sacred mountain.
"Please invite the Buddha to save me!" The golden-winged Roc screamed miserably, without any trace of its former arrogance.
However, Sun Wukong was faster. He arrived above the golden-winged Roc and smashed down with all his strength, directly destroying the golden-winged Roc with its wings spread out to be a hundred meters long.
In the last scene, time seemed to stand still, and the body of the golden-winged Roc gradually turned into golden powder and dissipated in the air of Lingshan.
"Fuck! I killed Buddha's uncle at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Great Sage, awesome!"
"It's so hot!"
"How does it end?"
The audience in the theater sighed with emotion. On the big screen, Sun Wukong looked at the auspicious and auspicious Lingjiu Peak with a complicated expression. He said in a sad voice: "Master, Master, you have cultivated for ten lifetimes and still haven't reached this point. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will go up and ask you a question!"
Sun Wukong looked determined and was about to step forward when he suddenly heard a voice "Wukong" and turned around in surprise.
The big screen suddenly went black, and six big words "Director Jiang Heng's work" appeared suddenly, and then subtitles began to appear.
"Is this the end?"
"I haven't seen enough!"
"We should just go to Lingshan and cause trouble again!"
"There's already a commotion in Heaven, this is the only thing left!"
"At worst, I can be suppressed for another five hundred or one thousand years!"
"Since the Great Sage was born, he has been in jail all the time!"
The audience in the theater was delighted but also felt that they had not yet seen enough, as fortunately, Tang Monk appeared again on the big screen.
"Thank you for guiding me, Buddha!"
On the screen, Tang Monk, played by Ding Haifeng, bowed and thanked a bald, cloth-clothed, majestic old man.
The Buddha smiled and said, "I should have been here to help you shed your mortal body. I didn't expect that Lingshan Mountain didn't discipline you strictly, and those evil beasts escaped, causing this disaster. But for you, it's a good thing. After you have integrated your ten lifetimes of cultivation and shed your mortal body, you can become a Buddha on the spot when you step onto Lingshan Mountain one day!"
Sun Wukong said: "So, I have to thank you for that!"
The Buddha smiled and said, "That's not necessary!"
Then he waved his hand, and the figure of a golden-winged Roc suddenly appeared in the air. It was translucent at first, but later it became real, except that it was much smaller in size.
The eagle remembered the hatred and attacked Wukong. The Guiding Buddha pointed at the top of its head, and the area above its forehead turned into fresh meat. The Golden Winged Dapeng stretched out its sharp claws to grab it, but the Guiding Buddha pointed again, and the Dapeng's feet were tied with ropes, so it could no longer fly out.
It could only transform into a foot-sized object, hovering above the Buddha's head, saying, "Jie Yin, how can I explain to Tathagata how you refused to save me and let me avenge me?"
The Buddha smiled and said, "Great Sage, you came too fast, and I am walking too slowly. What can I do? It is the order of Tathagata to take you back. How can I allow you to cause trouble?"
Seeing this, Tang Seng thanked Jie Yin again. Wukong said, "Buddha, the tens of thousands of wronged souls in the Lion City are just like ordinary people during the day, and even my Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils have been fooled. Could it be your handiwork?"
The Buddha laughed and said, "You are a naughty monkey. You are always accusing good people. This evil beast stole the Tathagata's calligraphy. So you can't steal my treasures?"
Seeing this, the audience in the theater suddenly realized that when they first watched it, they felt that the part about first entering the Lion Country seemed to have some flaws, but the plot was compact and there were no boring parts, so they just ignored it.
I didn't expect that in the easter egg, even this would be made up for.
The big screen went black again, the interlude changed, the subtitles continued to roll, and the discussion among the audience in the theater became more and more heated.
Some say that the Easter egg at the end can actually be connected to the plot.
However, a director like Jiang Wen could guess Jiang Heng's intention.
The plot of the easter egg is consistent with the previous one, but the style is completely different.
It’s the same scene from the 86 version of “Journey to the West” where the fight ends and a demon with a background is rescued.
But this conflicts with the dark and sad tone of the whole film.
It would be more appropriate to put it in the Easter egg section instead of counting it as part of the main film.
On the big screen, the subtitles were still scrolling, and just when the audience was wondering when the lights would come on so they could applaud, Tang Seng's voice was heard again.
"Bajie, retreat behind your master!"
But in the clearing of the mountain forest full of tropical atmosphere, Tang Seng stood with his head held high. The camera turned and saw three half-orcs more than two meters tall with rhinoceros horns on their heads, carrying huge weapons and striding towards them. Every time they hit someone, there was a rumbling sound, and the earth was shaking.
Before the audience could sigh, a string of thanks appeared on the big screen, then turned gray and ended completely.
The lights in the theater came on, but the audience had not yet come out of the plot.
The shock they received from the movie just now was probably even stronger than the first time Chinese people watched the IMAX 10D version of "Avatar" 3 years ago.
There are too many shocking scenes and exciting plots in the film. If you just take out a section and add some water, and then add some love scenes to lengthen the film, you can use it to make money.
But Jiang Heng didn't do that. He actually made a super exciting special effects commercial blockbuster with no boring moments!
Even the order in which Sun Wukong's opponents appear is carefully arranged.
Thousands of translucent "ghost generals" wearing helmets and armor look terrifying, but their strength is as weak as paper.
The evil ghost formed by tens of thousands of wronged souls can slap Sun Wukong away with one slap, and is almost at the level of "Giant Spirit".
The golden leopard that fought later was an expert in archery and spearmanship, but it could not last more than a few dozen rounds against the Monkey King.
The white elephant and the blue lion are stronger, but they are no match for them.
The strongest contestant, the Golden-winged Roc, appeared last and captured the Monkey King through strategy, sneak attacks, and a golden claw that dropped from the sky.
When it came to the final battle, all members had to be mobilized, and with the help of the Buddha's magic spell, they were able to subdue the Monkey King and force the team into a desperate situation.
Only in this situation can a Jedi counterattack seem so satisfying.
After thinking this through, Jiang Wen couldn't help but swear, "How the hell are people going to shoot Journey to the West in the future?"
The people around him were puzzled, but they didn't know that Jiang Wen was thinking that there was no more powerful monster gang than the Lion Camel Ridge on the journey to the West.
Although the Green Bull Demon is powerful, he is also a brother and relies on a treasure.
Although he could take away the golden cudgel, he couldn't do anything to the Monkey King!
"The theme of Journey to the West is amazing!" Jiang Wen said secretly.
