On October 17, the oriental mythological movie "Journey to the East", starring Zhang Yuan, Li Qinfa and Luo Jiaying, was exclusively launched on iQiyi. "Journey to the East" is produced by Yingmei Media and Maiqi Pictures, co-produced by Times Culture Media, Huaxia Xinye Culture, Gilded Summer Culture Media, Judi Pictures and Mishi Pictures, and exclusively marketed by Yingmei Media. The film is based on the myths and legends of Han Xiangzi, one of the Eight Immortals, and the Dragon Girl of the East Sea, and tells the fantasy story of Han Xiangzi going through hardships with the Dragon Girl in the process of cultivating the Tao, slaying demons and exorcising demons, and going all the way to the east.
Before the film was launched, it caused a heated discussion on Douyin with the sweet love of "Yu Xiang" cp, and the number of likes on a single small video exceeded 700,000 in 5 hours, and the image of Xiaoyu's innocence and joy, and the contrast with Han Xiangzi's cute personality have aroused the audience's interest and expectation for the movie.
All the way to the east, Zhang Yuan played the most handsome Han Xiangzi
The East Sea Dragon Girl (Li Qin), who was originally in charge of Fenglin, loses her memory and turns into a fish, and accidentally encounters Han Xiangzi (Zhang Yuan), who has a fate with her, and the two are enlightened by the storyteller and go all the way to the east to find the dragon gate. In the fantasy journey of helping the dragon girl "jump the dragon gate", the two were once hunted down and killed by the villain boss who had fallen into the devil, and their lives were hanging in the balance; they also exchanged feelings for each other and confirmed their intentions in a long time together.
Han Xiangzi is played by Zhang Yuan, a member of the Supreme Lihe Group and a popular student of the Creation Camp. In the movie, Han Xiangzi experiences the growth from cynicism to the tribulations with Xiaoyu (Dragon Girl). Zhang Yuan himself became famous at a young age, and then experienced the ups and downs on the road of acting, the second upward, similar experiences let Zhang Yuan have a deeper understanding of this role, and his interpretation gives more layers to the role itself. What is even more rare is the sense of youth in Zhang Yuan's body, when participating in the "Creation Camp", Zhang Yuan once said that "the sense of youth is not ignorance and fearlessness, but there is still fearlessness in knowledge", and this is also the most touching trait of Han Xiangzi.
The innocent little fish is the most important role on Han Xiangzi's growth path, the memory of the little fish is only 7 hours, she maintains the most innocent trust in the world, and her efforts have also taught Han Xiangzi what responsibility is. Xiaoyu is played by the original Good Morning Girl member Li Qinmeng, actor Li Qinyu looks fresh and sweet, which perfectly fits the image of Xiaoyu, and her interpretation also adds a lot to this role.
In the film, Mr. Tang, the master who enlightens Han Xiangzi and Xiaoyu and guides them all the way to the east, is played by the well-known Hong Kong actor Luo Jiaying. Luo Jiaying put on his robe, and the way he talked aroused everyone's familiar memories. In addition, the "Desert Lonely Eagle" Sunset Xia, "Black and White Impermanence" Black and White, the affectionate donkey gong, the kind turtle mother-in-law and other supporting roles are also vivid and outstanding.
Zhou Shen sang with all his heart, and "Journey to the East" was not broadcast first
In addition to the love story of Han Xiangzi and the Dragon Girl, "Journey to the East" also perfectly restores the mythical world of the "Eight Immortals" of the battle between gods and demons. Han Xiangzi and the Dragon Girl bravely fought the East Sea Demon as they made their way east. In order to create the texture of the oriental mythological world, the film was filmed in many places during filming, from the vast Gobi to the coast of the East China Sea, leaving the crew busy and dedicated footprints. Live-action shooting brings an extraordinary texture to the film's picture, showing the grandeur of the oriental mythological world.
The film also invited singer Zhou Shen, who has the reputation of "The Voice of Nature", to sing the theme song of the same name, "Journey to the East". Zhou Shen's voice has its own ancient style, which is perfectly in line with the temperament of the movie. "Your eyes are soaked with the morning sun, hiding the secret of always going east", as soon as he opened his mouth, a lingering legend slowly flowed out. The voice with a strong sense of story, with the lyrics of the ancient style, will be Han Xiangzi and the dragon girl's thousand-year-old love affair, which makes people intoxicated.
The movie "Journey to the East" has been launched on iQiyi, restoring the oriental mythological world, and the sweetness of mermaid love is explosive, and I believe that it will definitely bring a surprising movie-watching experience to the audience.
