Hualong Network, August 28, 16:35 (Reporter Li Yuan) "Amazon Monkey Adventure", which debuted as the closing film of the 70th Venice Film Festival, will be released in the mainland on September 4. Today (28), the film was test-screened in Chongqing, a feature film starring entirely real animals, which is quite special in the summer program near the end.

Most of the images seen with real animals as the protagonists in the past are documentaries, and the film presents a complete feature film plot. The monkey Sai fell into the Amazon jungle alone due to the plane crash, and it had to learn to survive and protect itself in the jungle to adapt to this unknown world. Magical nature is full of excitement and hostility. It faces the tests of nature alone: fighting tough predators, poisonous plants, and the green barriers of the Amazon jungle.

According to the filmmakers, this is a film made according to the lens expression of the feature film, and the national animal trainer lets the animals complete the action according to the script, "Because there are many uncontrollable factors to shoot real animals, the shooting is also very difficult, and the main creative team spent 7 years shooting." The reporter saw that there are monkeys climbing to thorny trees and eating poisonous mushrooms in the film, according to the introduction, the director coated the trees and mushrooms with honey, and the monkeys will perform according to the director's requirements.

There are 5 little monk hat monkeys in the film, and their cute expressions and reactions to fear add a lot to the film. According to the filmmakers, the five monkeys were selected from 150 monk-hat monkeys at the Brazilian Animal Rescue and Conservation Center, and the crew let them be trained in the ecological park to get used to getting along with people. Six months later, the 5 monk-hat monkeys in the film stood out, and Sai, a monkey with rich expressions and good at selling cuteness, became the protagonist of the whole film, completing 80% of the filming of the film.
