"A classic, rewrite the history of Chinese animation; a monkey, makes million of girls fell in love with."
《一個經典，改寫國漫歷史；一隻猴，撥動少女心弦》
After I watched the movie "Monkey King Hero is Back", my brain was filled with the handsome face of the Monkey King, so I draw a quick sketch.
P.S. The background music is the theme song of the Monkey King cartoon in 1998.
看完西遊記之大聖歸來後，整個腦都是大聖，於是速塗了一張釋放釋放
(來自1998年動畫的BGM，聽說聽過的都生小孩了…)
Over all 整體而言:
Once people mentioned Chinese animation, many of us don't expect a lot in a positive side. As a Hong Kong people, my childhood was fill with Disney, Dreamwork and Japanese animations, I don't expect a lot to this movie either. However, I have to say among all the animations I saw, Monkey King is definitely included into the top three. The CG effect many not be comparable to Japan and America, but for the content, it makes me laugh and cry.
一提到國漫，大家心裡肯定有種定義和感覺，更何況作為香港人，在日漫、Disney和Dreamwork陪伴成長下，我對它的期望不大，不過我真得說在我看過的動畫裡，大 聖 絕 對 排 在三 甲 裡。畫面未必比得上日、美的，但這全新的內容，有笑有淚(很久沒因為看動畫電影而感動)。
Here is the trailer
大家可以看Trailer感受下這部足以改寫國漫歷史的電影

[1.]The Picture 畫面
The CG technique is not mature enough. In the movie, the environment and views like those mountain, river and forest is really real but for the fighting scenes, it is still a bit stiff.
CG動畫製作技術還不夠成熟，山川河流森林宮堡是做的不錯，但打斗場面仍顯一點生硬。
For the characters design, I personally really like Monkey King, Jiang Liuer and Hun Dun. Especially Hun Dun, the element of ancient dramatic Chinese mask from Sichuan Opera is included into the design of his face.

人設方面，我個人十分喜歡孫悟空、江流兒（小唐僧）和混沌的設計。特別是加入中國面譜原素的混沌。
However, I think that the design of Pigsy and monsters is a bit off-track and old school. Especially the skin color of monsters, it is too bright and too green, but maybe it is because of the reason that the production of this animation lasted up to 8 years, the designs of the characters were according to the aesthetic feeling 8 years ago as producer Zhuo Xu said.
不過豬八戒和山妖的設計有點不入流，尤其是山妖的膚色，太鮮了。可能因為片子製作長達8年，如製作人周旭所說，不少動畫形象其實是符合當年的審美觀。

[2.] Splicing 剪接：
If the full marks is 100, I will give 90 marks to the editing and splicing of this animation. The splicing is very smooth, the bursting point, crying point, intense point, one after another, integrates together. My feeling follow the splicing of the movie, up and down and up and down, surprises me again and again. However, in terms of the crying point at the end, it does make me tear a bit, if it can makes me tear a lot that would be perfect!
100分滿分，我給90。非常好，行雲流水，此起彼落。笑點，淚點，緊張點，交叉穿插，接軌流暢。心情自然隨著電影起伏但又驚喜無數。不過淚點方面的確讓我眼泛淚光，但要是做到讓我哭出來就完美了~
[3.] Music 音樂：
Make use of the traditional Chinese music to coordinate with the fighting scenes is quite surprising, the tempo, rhythm, beat up, kick off, flawless!!!!
運用傳統中樂配合打斗場面真是Quite Surprising，那拍子、節奏，手起腳落，天衣無縫。
The theme song 《從前的我》, soft and touching, but I personally think that one of the OST "Brave Heart" is matchs the theme of the movie better. "Brave Heart" preforms the idea of being brave, freedom and the pursuit of dreams, it is a rock, full of infectant power.
主題歌曲《從前的我》柔軟感人，不過我個人認為插曲《勇敢的心》更切合電影主題，表達勇敢、自由、夢想的追求，十足感染力
Theme song 《從前的我》
《勇敢的心》"Brave Heart"
Conclusion 總結：
This is a real Chinese animation movie that produced in China, takes 8 years of production, lack of funding and technology but full of hard work. People are hardworking, positive and never give up. I think that if the development of animation production is toward this direction, I believe that one day, Chinese animation will become the world animation.
一部真正由中國創作人制作的中國主題動畫，歷時八年，資金有限，科技有限，有血有汗的「中國動畫」。朝著這個方向，衝出國際，不是夢。
P.S.
Actually, everything mentioned above is not my main view, there is only on thing I want to say, which is through watching this movie, I learn that love can beyond species, I fell in love with Monkey King, for real. That's why I watch it again in the Chinese Valentine's Day, Qixi.
其是以上都不是重點，重點是透過這部動畫，我體會到愛情原來可以不分物種，我滿腦子裡都是「大聖！我要和你生猴子！」。所以我七夕又去約我這位多毛男神。
