Netflix officially announced a concept map of "Monkey King", Sun Wukong is making a big fuss in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and the prospect is the famous Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick. Sun Wukong is a side-faced appearance, his appearance is more oriental, and borrows the shape of the domestic animation movie "The Haunting of the Heavenly Palace".

Adapted from Journey to the West, the film tells the story of "a special monkey who fights against gods, monsters and dragons, as well as his own arrogance". Directed by Anthony Stacchi ("Box Monster"), Oriental DreamWorks' Zhou Peiling ("Snowman") and Kendra Haaland ("Mulan", "How to Train Your Dragon") served as producers.
Since this year, Hollywood has frequently reported the news of adapting "Journey to the West", after Wu Yusen announced that he would put "The Monkey King" posthumous work "Monkey King" by "Marvel's father" Stan Lee on the big screen. Last month, to celebrate The Asian Superhero Festival, DC's new edition of DC Heroes Festival: Asian Superhero Celebration will introduce a new superhero character, Monkey Prince, and the Eight Commandments of the Pig will also appear in a new image.
Before these two Hollywood versions of "Journey to the West" have caused dissatisfaction among domestic netizens, a large reason is that American filmmakers have adapted too much of China's classic original works and lost a lot of oriental charm. And this time Netflix is very "cunning", because its animation adaptation this time has found a very popular filmmaker with a journey to the west as a producer.
As we all know, Xingye's "Journey to the West" series is known as the fengshen works in the history of Chinese cinema, and Xingye also has a unique insight into the adaptation of the traditional image of Sun Wukong. Therefore, many fans on the Internet hope that this Sino-US cooperation is not to shoot An American-style Chinese story, but a true combination of East and West. Some netizens said: "After all, so far, most of the Sino-US group photos have adopted a Chinese-style leather bag, an American-style core model, and eventually become a non-trivial work." I hope that this time Star Master can change this mode. ”
