"You should have studied Journey to the West thoroughly, right?" Yun Gu asked.

"Thorough." Chen Kan shook his head: "It's not worth it."

"Why do you say that?" Yun Gu asked curiously. She thought Chen Kan should have studied it thoroughly, but she didn't expect that she got a completely opposite answer from Chen Kan, which was really beyond her expectations.

"Do you know how many film and television works are adapted from Journey to the West?" Chen Kan asked.

"How many?"

"Since "Sun Xingzhe vs. The Golden Leopard" in 1926, at least more than 80 movies related to "Journey to the West" have been filmed around the world, and you have to know that this is just a movie," said Chen Kan.

"So exaggerated!" Yun Gu originally thought that there were already a lot of ten chapters, and twenty or thirty chapters were already very strong, but she didn't expect that there were nearly a hundred chapters, which was indeed very exaggerated.

This has not included TV series, opera, and cartoons in it. It is hard to imagine that if all of them are included, the number would be terrible.

"Yes, otherwise you think."

"Indeed, I have read a lot of versions of Journey to the West, especially adapted ones, which is more troublesome." Yun Gu said.

Journey to the West is a treasure house. This sentence is correct. Not only are there many directors adapting Journey to the West now, but there are many Journey to the West works very early on.

For example, "The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace" in the era of hand-painted animated films, this work released in 1964 is an animated film produced by the Shanghai Art Film Studio.

It took two years to draw the pen from the hands of 23 animation personnel, and finally draw two of them. It is no exaggeration to say that this movie established my country's position as the king among hand-drawn animated films and deservedly ranked first. However, this kind of hand-drawn cannot compare to computers after all, and the consequence is...

In addition, the animated film "Golden Monkey Subduing Demons" filmed in 1985 has won many awards internationally and is well-known.

Not to mention the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", this TV series still appears frequently on TV screens and becomes the memory of generations.

All these situations are fine. Although there are many works filmed, they are all filmed according to the original story of "Journey to the West", and there is no big change.

But since 1994, this situation has changed. The treasure house of "Journey to the West" welcomed another group of guests. These people began to adapt "Journey to the West", and it was a subversive adaptation.

In 1994, the movies "A Chinese Odyssey: The Moonlight Box" starring Stephen Chow was released, and the subversive adaptation of "A Chinese Odyssey" was officially started.

Although the box office losses were awful when the two works were released, yes, the current classic "A Chinese Odyssey" failed at the box office and was a crushing defeat. Until the late 1990s, the charm of this work was discovered by more and more young people.

This started the IP adaptation journey of "Journey to the West", especially the directors in Hong Kong. The adaptation level was quite large. It can even be said that except for the name of the character and the ultimate goal of seeking the West, other parts have been changed beyond recognition.

This trend has been on hold for a while, but it has started to rise again in recent years. As for the reason, of course, it is because of the market.

In three years, the film directed by Stephen Chow once again subversively adapted "Journey to the West" by "Journey to the West" and finally achieved a box office record of 1.2 billion, becoming the box office champion of that year.

In 4 years, "Journey to the West: The Great Trouble" is based on "Journey to the West", combining magical themes, telling a "brand-new" story of a big fuss in the sky, and winning a box office of 1 billion yuan.

The above adaptations are actually brand new stories. The original works are not worth referring to. Moreover, because they are all movies and time is limited, there is only a small part of the world that can be displayed. If they really appear in this plane, then Chen Kan's difficulty in training will undoubtedly increase a lot.

In the summer of 5 years, a dark horse emerged. The animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" was released. On the day of its release, it had a box office of less than 30 million. However, the reputation of the movie began to ferment slowly, and eventually won nearly one billion box office, becoming the number one in domestic animated films.

From 3 to 5 years, three years, a movie with Journey to the West theme every year, the total score of these three movies exceeds 3 billion.

This achievement has blinded the world. This is the market. You can go wherever you can make money, and even if it doesn’t matter, you have to force yourself to get involved with Journey to the West.

"Journey to the West: Sun Wukong fights the Bone Spirit three times", "Journey to the West to the Demons 2", "The Legend of Wukong", 3D cartoons "Wukong", "The Return of the Great Sage 2", "The Tale of the West 3", "Dare to Ask Where is the Road" and other adapted movies are being filmed one after another...

It is no exaggeration to say that every movie is a whole new world.

"But with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to analyze all of them." Yun Gu said to Chen Kan.

"It's not small." Chen Kan sighed: "Even if there is a small difference, it means a completely different situation. For example, some treasures, treasures in the world, and as long as there is a little change, it may be completely different."

"Yes, in fact, although there are many treasures in Journey to the West, most of them are masterpieces. As for treasures that improve their strength, I am afraid that only those peach elixirs that Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace can be planned carefully. As for ginseng fruit, it is quite difficult." Yun Gu said.

"That's right, and you may not know that the versions of Journey to the West are different." Chen Kan said with a smile.

"What?" Yun Gu was shocked when she heard this: "Isn't it just the Journey to the West in your hands?"

"Look at how many words this book has." Chen Kan handed the book to Yun Gu. Although Yun Gu was puzzled, she still turned on the page and found the number of words in the book at the front.

"About 860,000 words, is there any problem?"

"Is there any problem? The problem is big. This is a revised version. Do you know what is the most words in the historical version of Journey to the West?"

"How many?"

"The "Journey to the West" with the largest number of words in existence is the Shidetang version, with only 620,000 words. Where did the extra 240,000 words come from?" Chen Kan asked.

"No, why are there too many? I have only heard of the more spreads, and how come it is more spreading in "Journey to the West"? "
