On the fourth anniversary of the death of Yang Jie, the director of Journey to the West, why did the six-year-old boy "China-US co-production" disappear?

"In the second half of this year, The Journey to the West, a Chinese-American co-production film, will announce the launch. I will continue to play the role of the Monkey King. I can use the artistic expression of Monkey King to create a screen brand image that satisfies Director Yang Jie and audiences at home and abroad to comfort everyone. "

The above words are what Wukong's actor, six-year-old children, said in an interview with the news media at director Yang Jie's funeral.

Journey to the West 2065438+July April 15, director Yang Jie, the founder of The Journey to the West dnf of CCTV 86, died in Beijing Armed Police General Hospital at the age of 88. At that time, the six-year-old boy's behavior caused great opposition. Netizens feel that he is using the attention of director Yang Jie's death to promote and plan his latest film. It can be said that this incident immediately changed the brand image of six-year-old children in the hearts of the masses.

Before that, the popularity of six-year-old children was really high. During the planning of the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey on 20 16, all the staff protested that six-year-old children were on CCTV Spring Festival Gala, expecting him to go into battle again and spend the Spring Festival of the Year of the Pig with the brand image of Qi Tianshengda. Although he didn't get the invitation of the Spring Festival Evening, the six-year-old boy got his wish and went to the Spring Festival Evening of Liaoshi that year. In a blink of an eye, it was April again. April 15 is the fourth anniversary of director Yang Jie's death. Husband Wang Chongqiu took his relatives to Jiugong Mountain to pay homage to his wife.

Director Yang Jie's tomb is engraved with a passage: Looking back, there is spring breeze and depression. There are glory and loss. There are joys and sorrows. Eighty spring and autumn, fleeting, just want to leave a faint scratch in the long river of time. Wang Chongqiu, a senior photographer of CCTV. The original classic version of Journey to the West was shot from 1982 to 1988. For six years, the entire film crew had only one surveillance camera, and all the shots you saw were taken by Teacher Wang Chongqiu.

In 2020, 78-year-old Wang Chongqiu was fourteen years younger than director Yang Jie. In the video, he hunched his back and walked on a faint path. In the past four years, Wang Chongqiu has come to Jiugong Mountain to pay homage every year. Every time, he personally scrubbed the tomb board for his wife. On the most beautiful April day in the world, flowers in the cemetery are in full bloom, and the warm spring breeze awakens the sleeping green plants. Wang Zhongqiu put the tribute in front of the tomb board, and the lonely figure made people feel inexplicable heartache.

Four years later, the big movie "Plan for the second half of this year" did not reach the audience in The Journey to the West. In fact, as early as around 20 12, six-year-olds already had the idea of making a big movie The Journey to the West. According to the planning plan at that time, six-year-old children expected this "China-US Co-production" to be released in the Spring Festival of 20 16 Year of the Pig. Regrettably, until now, there is still no sign of "China-US co-production".

The last time a six-year-old boy mentioned "China-US co-production" was at the end of 20 19. When asked about film planning by the news media, he revealed that the title of the expected film "Dare to Ask Where is the Way" has been changed to "The True and False Monkey King of Journey to the West". It is expected that the idea of being an elite team overseas has not yet been completed. Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon on a Journey to the West is now led by Confucianism and Italy Group and directed by Han Yan. It is said that the production cost has reached several hundred million.

Judging from the situation of the six-year-old child at this stage, investors still have to take a big risk when they decide to gamble on him. In the summer of 2020, the movie "Money-obsessed" starring Journey to the West "Master and Apprentice" had a low box office. In addition, in recent years, domestic film brands have been promoted rapidly, and the audience's regulations on movies will certainly be improved. Otherwise, it will be branded with laminating. The six-year-old boy is over half a year old, and it is still unknown how much basic skills he can play.

In any case, the audience is very hopeful about the film, even if it is only because of the complex.
