Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 437: Adaptation is not random fabrication!

However, Zhou Yang's "A Lifetime of Love" is different. You can't guess the content just by looking at the title, but once you hear it, you will be full of praise. The title and the song complement each other perfectly.

That's what makes a great song title unique.

Wang Feng's praise was echoed by other staff members, who all expressed their agreement.

"That's right, Wang Feng is right. This song title is absolutely brilliant, fantastic!"

"A lifelong love can absolutely become a classic!"

"Zhou Yang, I heard you're planning to use this song as the theme song for your new movie? That's a bit of a shame, wouldn't it have been better to just release it as a single!"

"Indeed, releasing a single, or even considering producing a whole album."

"That's right, it's such a waste to use such a classic song as a movie theme song!"

"..."

Where people come and go, there is always deceit and treachery, and in such places, there must be a strict hierarchy of social rules.

Such social rules also exist in the music industry.

Among them, classical music lovers look down on jazz lovers, jazz lovers look down on rock fans, rock fans look down on pop music followers, and pop music followers despise folk and rap artists.

But they all have one thing in common: they look down on musicians who sing theme songs for movies and TV series.

Why is this? Because musicians value creative independence most. Many older generation musicians take pride in their independent creations; they are unwilling to be controlled by capitalists and value creative freedom.

However, musicians who sing theme songs for movies and TV series are different because their works must meet the requirements of the movies and TV series and are subject to intervention from investors and directors.

They are like puppets who only know how to sing, without their own creative soul.

The entire music industry scorned the musicians who sang the theme song, believing they lacked an "independent" spirit.

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, everyone present sighed helplessly.

They fear this classic is about to be ruined, a heavy blow to those who cherish independent music.

After a brief conversation, Zhou Yang gave them movie tickets and hurriedly returned to the company to carry out the final post-production work.

There's only one week left until Chinese New Year's Day, time is running out.

In the latest promotional video, "A Chinese Odyssey" presents a spectacular battle where Supreme Treasure tries to get close to the two Spider Demon sisters, only to be unexpectedly tricked.

A bizarre yet amusing scene unfolds: the talisman accidentally catches fire, and in order to conceal his location, Supreme Treasure can only silently endure the pain while having his subordinates work together to extinguish the flames.

This scene was unbelievable, but Zhou Yang's excellent acting skills brought it to life. It didn't feel abrupt at all; instead, it made people laugh, and netizens gave it a thumbs up.

"Hahaha, I can't stop laughing, it's so funny!"

"That's right, Zhou Yang's acting is superb, it feels completely natural, it's just hilarious!"

"Yes, conveying joy through action—that's what makes a true master of comedy!"

"Haha, that's hilarious! I had some doubts about Stephen Chow before, but now it seems he's back to his peak and will never make bad movies again!"

"I've always believed that only Zhou Yang could bring out the essence of Stephen Chow's quirky films. It wasn't that Stephen Chow was a bad director before, but rather that the actors didn't grasp his unique style..."

"I can't wait! I'll definitely support it during the Spring Festival!"

"..." This video not only made netizens in China burst into laughter, but also made netizens around the world sigh with admiration on various social media platforms.

"Haha, this is hilarious! This actor looks a bit like Charlie Chaplin!"

"Wow, really? This is Zhou, who worked with Tony Stark before!"

"My God, how come I didn't see that? This performance is so unexpected! Zhou can actually do comedy!"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Looks like Zhou has a knack for comedy. I have to go to the cinema to support her!"

"Looking forward to Zhou's new work, it's sure to be amazing!"

Finally, the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" announced its release on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which has been highly anticipated by many movie fans.

Zhou Yang shared the good news on social media and began promoting it.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: Good news! My new movie 'A Chinese Odyssey' is scheduled for release on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I invite audiences to come and support it. It's sure to be a spectacular show!"

Meanwhile, Stephen Chow, Da Shu, and others also shared Zhou Yang's message and expressed their anticipation.

"#ChineseRedHongKongSpecialActorZhouXingxing: I'm delighted to be working with Zhou Yang and Uncle Da again on his new movie, and to be playing a role in it. Looking forward to everyone's support. #Retweet#"

"#UncleDaNgMengDa: After many years of collaboration, he and Stephen Chow are teaming up again. Their chemistry is amazing. A must-see movie on Chinese New Year's Day! #Retweet#"

In addition, Liu Yifei also shared her role and feelings in the movie.

"#LiuTianxian: Playing a realistic and romantic character, experiencing a profound and delicate love. A cast of excellent actors portray a beautiful story, looking forward to showcasing different sides of themselves. Special thanks to Zhou Yang @actressZhouYang for her support. #Heart #Retweet"

Furthermore, Naza and Bai Bing each showcased different roles and styles in the film.

"#Nazar: Don't miss 'A Chinese Odyssey' on the first day of the Lunar New Year! Unlike previous films, the Spider Demon has stirred Sun Wukong's heart. #Retweet#"

"#BaiBing: On the first day of the Lunar New Year, looking forward to seeing a different style of the White Bone Demon! Stay tuned! #Retweet#"

Numerous celebrities appeared in the comments section, sparking enthusiastic cheers from netizens.

"Oh my god! This is unbelievable! Stephen Chow and Yang Ge actually interacted! They are my two favorite actors!"

"I've already seen the trailer, it's so funny! Yang Ge is amazing, and Stephen Chow is great too!"

"Brother Yang, stop posting on Weibo! Hurry up and release the movie! We can't wait to see it!"

"Wow! Liu Yifei, Naza, Bai Bing... so many of my favorite goddesses are here! Yang Ge, you're amazing! I definitely have to go see this lineup!"

"That's right, seeing so many goddesses makes the movie ticket worthwhile!"

"I can't wait! I'll definitely go to the cinema to support it on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

It must be admitted that Zhou Yang is a prominent figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. In less than ten minutes after posting a Weibo, he topped the Weibo hot search list.

However, at this moment, a completely different voice suddenly appeared on the internet and quickly climbed to the second position on the trending search list.

"#Wu Cheng'en Designates Sun Wukong Actor 6: Haha, I heard someone wants to make a movie called 'A Chinese Odyssey'? And they want the White Bone Demon and Sun Wukong to fall in love? Absolutely absurd! This is simply a desecration of the classic 'Journey to the West'!"

"Adaptation is not random rewriting; it cannot be altered at will. Otherwise, we must apologize to Mr. Wu Cheng'en and all the audience!"

"Speaking of apologies, I am reminded of the scene in 'Journey to the West' where Sun Wukong apologizes to the Jade Emperor. In the second half of this year, a Sino-foreign co-production of 'Journey to the West' will officially begin filming. I will once again play the Monkey King Sun Wukong. I will use the image of the Monkey King to convey positive energy, integrate literature and art, and inherit Chinese culture. I hope everyone will pay more attention to it."
