Xiao Ming swallowed his saliva...
Xiaohua was trembling with excitement...
When the whole dormitory began to eagerly ask Xiao Ming and Xiao Chao about the title of the song, this song "Wukong" had already sparked countless heated discussions on the Internet at the same time:
“This song is awesome!”
"Isn't this more exciting than "Erlang"?"
"If we compare TV dramas, Hong Huang's influence is indeed terrifying, and Xian Yu doesn't dare to say that he can beat Hong Huang. But if you want to compare TV drama promotional songs, don't forget who Yu Die is!"
"Yumen is singing!"
"I'm playing it on repeat now. It makes me cry, over and over again. This song's interpretation of Wukong is very consistent with my understanding of Journey to the West. Wukong never went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures voluntarily."
“Goosebumps!”
"After listening to the song, I have so many things to say, but in the end, I just can't say them. The last line of the lyrics should be dedicated to Hong Huang. You can't beat Chu Kuang in novels, and you can't beat Xian Yu in promotional songs. This blow will make you disappear into ashes!"
"It's written thoroughly about Wukong!"
"Some people say that this song is not exciting, but rather tragic and helpless. I feel the same way. But whether the song is exciting or not does not prevent me from liking this song. It has both ancient charm and deep feelings, and it is bold and popular. The opera singing that appears several times in the song is really amazing!"
“Absolutely!”
"I thought the opera singing of "calling Buddha" would be the climax, but it's not. I thought "what use do I have for this iron rod" would be the finishing touch, but it's not. There is also this rod that will turn you into ashes!"
"… "
It is hard to say who is better between Yang Jian and Sun Wukong. Fans of Honghuang and Journey to the West are bound to have different opinions, but the song "Erlang" is clearly superior when compared with the promotional song of Xianyu!
It’s not that “Erlang” is bad!
But "Wukong" is so good!
After all, promotional songs are music!
In fact, when many people saw Xianyu singing the promotional song for Journey to the West, they already had a premonition of this scene in their hearts. Xianyu wrote the lyrics, Xianyu composed the music, and Xianyu sang...
Who can withstand this
Songs about these characters have always been easy to attract fans, so when "Wukong" became a hit, many people who had never seen Journey to the West and were not interested in reading the novel became interested in the TV series. This is the role of promotional songs.
also.
The song "Wukong" also led to more interpretations about Journey to the West and Sun Wukong. The outside world increasingly believed that Sun Wukong's journey to the West was out of helplessness, and that it was a tragedy that the monkey eventually became the Fighting Buddha.
Lost freedom.
There are restraints.
The monkey who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace without any worries was finally put in shackles, just like the tight hoop on his head, which was a kind of coercion in itself. Otherwise, how to explain that the monsters with backers were fine, but Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain by Tathagata Buddha for five hundred years just because he made a small mistake
Yes.
Everyone likes Sun Wukong because no one thinks that he has committed any unforgivable crime. They say that the monkey is disobedient, so why should the monkey be disciplined by these people? Therefore, both the Heavenly Palace and the Western world were too harsh on Sun Wukong. The masters and apprentices of Journey to the West all walked on a life that was arranged.
In fact.
Even those who have read Journey to the West carefully will find that even though the monkeys have extraordinary abilities, they have never eaten humans. Some people say that the reason why Sun Wukong ate humans is based on a self-narration by Sun Wukong in the original text: "When I was a demon in the Water Curtain Cave, if I wanted to eat human flesh, I would do it like this: I would turn it into gold or silver, or a farmhouse, or an intoxicated person, or a beautiful woman. If someone fell in love with me, I would lure him into the cave and let him do whatever he wanted, steaming or boiling him for his own enjoyment. If he couldn't eat it, I would dry it in case it was cloudy!"
Connect the context.
Sun Wukong is bragging.
Because it was the white rat spirit who transformed into a beautiful woman to deceive Tang Seng, Sun Wukong said this to Tang Seng, mainly to remind Tang Seng not to be deceived by the monster. In addition, he never said that he had eaten people, and even claimed that he liked fruits and vegetables.
The story of the Black Chicken Kingdom.
There is also a passage in the original text: "Then Bajie stepped forward to save the breath, but Sanzang grabbed him and said: No! You still want Wukong to come. The master had a very good idea: It turns out that Zhu Bajie has been killing and eating people since he was a child, so he has a foul breath; but Xing has been practicing since he was a child, chewing pine, chewing cypress and eating peaches for a living, so he has a pure breath."
The pigs really ate the people.
Of course, this is not unacceptable to readers. Journey to the West is a world where gods, demons and monsters coexist. People eat pigs, and of course pigs can eat people. There are monsters that even clamor to eat monkey brains.
…
The media was also very excited. The battle between Journey to the West and Honghuang was nothing short of a news carnival for the media:
"The battle over the Journey to the West promotional song has come to an end, and "Wukong" is released with a bang!"
"Xianyu's new song "Wukong" is a big hit!"
"Xianyu helps Chu Kuang, and the propaganda song overwhelms Honghuang!"
"After the success of 'Erlang', 'Wukong' swept the market!"
"Honghuang fans are silent again: "Wukong" recreates the passion of Journey to the West!"
"Chu Kuang, Xian Yu and Ying Zi, the three of them join hands to fight the prehistoric world!"
"… "
The fans of Honghuang are really silent again.
In terms of novels, Hong Huang loses to Journey to the West.
In terms of promotional songs, Hong Huang lost to Journey to the West again.
The two blows have caused some fans of Honghuang to begin to waver.
Chu Kuang, so awesome!
Xianyu, so awesome!
Journey to the West, so awesome...
If it weren't for Honghuang's century-long influence, fans of Honghuang would have been panicked just facing the three best friends joining forces.
But fortunately, this century-long influence is not exaggerated.
Just when "Wukong" once again added fuel to the popularity of Journey to the West, Jin Pei stepped forward!
As the screenwriter of the new version of the TV series "Hong Huang", Jin Pei will not be scared by a small promotional song!
He was interviewed again.
When the reporter asked, "What do you think about the fact that Xianyu's promotional song is more popular than Erlang," Jin Pei smiled.
The reporters were all very surprised.
You've been screwed like this, and you can still laugh
Jin Pei's smile faded slightly, and he said seriously:
"First of all, there is no distinction between high and low music. A TV series not only has promotional songs, but also interludes, opening songs, ending songs, and even the most important theme songs. In order to ensure the quality of these songs, we have invited the song master and more than one singing king and queen to sing. Everyone will know when the TV series is broadcast in January."
Good job.
There is no high or low in music.
When this was said, all the Journey to the West fans who wanted to refute it were worried that their level was not high enough.
"also… "
Jin Pei said calmly: "The quality of a TV series should not be determined by the promotional song. The popularity of the new version of "Honghuang" after it is broadcast will prove the love of the people of Blue Star for Honghuang!"
This statement did not come as a surprise to many people.
Honghuang’s greatest advantage is its influence that has been developed over countless years!
If the opponent is as good as envious of others, in terms of music, Honghuang would not dare to be arrogant.
Compared to the TV series, Honghuang is courageous!
No one doubts the appeal of the TV series "Honghuang"!
Suddenly!
Fans of Honghuang also regained their spirits.
"What's the point of a promotional song? There are a lot of excellent music works in the TV series after Hong Huang. Besides, the most important thing for a TV series is the ratings. How can Journey to the West compare with Hong Huang in terms of ratings?"
Honghuang finally showed his fangs!
Are you guys from Journey to the West also going to make a TV series based on our Honghuang

The old version of the TV series "Honghuang" once created a miracle in ratings!
