And Havoc in Heaven is just the beginning of the Journey to the West animated series.
When Americans have a strong interest in this movie, it is inevitable that they will also be interested in the original work.
Especially the subsequent plot of the original work in which Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
For a time, various English translations of Journey to the West were sold out in major bookstores in the United States.
In fact, the book Journey to the West has long been translated abroad.
The earliest English translation was published in 1913, titled The Monk's Journey to Heaven, and the translator was Timothy Richard.
The inner cover of the book is titled "A Great Chinese Allegorical Epic."
This is a translation based on Qiu Changchun's Journey to the West.
Before the English translation, there was a popular Japanese translation of Journey to the West as early as 1831, and later translations in English, Czech, Polish, Russian, Spanish and other countries came out one after another.
As soon as Yu Sheng's "Havoc in Heaven" came out, Journey to the West immediately became the target of English translators.
Monkey, the most recognized translator in the West, started writing this book.
In 1942, Arthur Wally finally completed the translation and published it in New York.
In his preface to this translation, Arthur Waley said: "Journey to the West is a long mythological novel.
My selected translation has greatly reduced its length and omitted many poems inserted in the original work.
These poems are very difficult to read."
Translated.
The protagonist of the book, the monkey, is an unparalleled combination of absurdity and beauty.
The world of the heavenly palace disrupted by the monkey reflects the rule of feudal bureaucracy in the human world.
This is a generally accepted view in China. " Some critics praised Wei Li's translation for conveying the style of the original text, so this translation has been reprinted many times in later generations.
Under the dual offensive of books and movies, Americans' rejection of Chinese people has subsided in a subtle way.
When they meet Chinese people, in addition to saying "Chinese Kung Fu", they will also say "Oh, you have a Monkey King" Accompanying the excitement of Upheaval is the heartache of Warner Bros. and the frustration of animation giant Disney.
Warner Bros. is happy to make a lot of money out of thin air, but at the same time, it has to divide half of the money for the rest of its life.
Thinking of this, Albert Warner and others felt extremely distressed.
Who would have thought that a Chinese animated film would create such terrifying profits?
Although Disney produced Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and made a lot of profits, Walt Disney also got a little carried away with it.
After successively acquiring three companies of the same size as the original Disney, Disney squandered all the profits it made from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and also incurred some debt.
Therefore, from 1938 to 1940, there were no works produced.
Therefore, when Upheaval came out, Warner Bros. became synonymous with new cartoons.
The name Disney has almost been forgotten by Americans.
However, although Walt Disney was a little disappointed, he was not in a hurry, because the animation genius was working on another animated masterpiece, Pinocchio, which would be famous for generations to come.
The popularity of "Havoc in Heaven" in the United States not only made the domestic market popular again, but also led to the development of another industry.
This was the comic book industry that was flourishing in the 1980s when comics did not take off.
At this time in Shanghai, except for a small number of comic strips drawn with fine brushwork on rice paper, the most popular comic strips were actually adapted from various movies and TV shows.
Publishers who publish comic strips can not only save on artist fees, but also save on publicity expenses after the comic strips are printed because of the early film and television publicity.
Moreover, sales are not too bad.
Children from poor families can spend one or two cents to rent a few comic books and watch all the movies they missed because they could not afford movie tickets.
Although it is not as impactful and enjoyable as the movie itself, I have watched it at least.
As soon as the comic book license for "Havoc in Heaven" was sold, within two or three days, all the comic book rental shops in Shanghai were filled with "Havoc in Heaven".
The names of the four brothers Yu Sheng and Wan became familiar with this comic book.
Influenced an entire generation While the light and shadow on the screen flickered, this Shanghai beach was not peaceful.
Since the last time Ding Mo Village failed to run an errand for the China-US Daily, he felt angry and committed dozens of murders in one go.
Each one is a dirty job that even Japanese princes are unwilling to get their hands on.
As soon as these dozens of murderous cases came out, the Japanese princes felt that this person from Ding Mo Village was very useful, and the status of Ding Mo Village increased.
On this day, Nanzo Yunzi received another order from the Japanese military headquarters.
Let her assist Ding Mo Village in clearing up propaganda mouthpieces against the Japanese and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere in Shanghai.

But this time, Dingmo Village was much smarter and no longer encountered newspapers with backgrounds from the Central Government and the Military Government.
So they chose the American Evening News, which was run purely by Americans but had considerable influence, as the target.
The American Evening News was founded on April 16, 1929, and was published by the American Newspaper Company, with American Thackeray as editor-in-chief.
Mainly the English version, but there is also a Chinese version.
The main market is American expatriates in Shanghai.
Therefore, most of the content reported is the activities of American and other Western expatriates in China.
Important activities of overseas Chinese in the United States or other European and American countries will also be reported.
The news about the sensation that The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down in Europe and the United States, as well as the astonishing box office success of "Havoc in Heaven" in the United States, were reported by the American Evening News.
Damei Evening News is published every afternoon and has about fourteen pages.
The newspaper office is located at No. 21 Aidoya Road, located in the French Concession, facing the public concession.
On December 1, 1937, due to the changes in the current situation in China, the Chinese version of the Morning Edition of Damei Evening News was supplemented, with a large number of articles reporting on the trends of the Japanese, the suffering of the Chinese, and the Chinese anti-Japanese propaganda.
Over time, it has naturally become a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese.
Therefore, we must eliminate it and quickly In the late summer of 1939, the editors of Damei Evening News were having afternoon tea and proofreading manuscripts.
A man suddenly broke into the newspaper office, covered his face with a wide-brimmed hat, and said to the editors: "In twenty minutes, people from No. 76 will come to the newspaper office to cause trouble.
Everyone, please leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, without waiting for the editors to react, he rushed out of the back door and disappeared.
Several editors looked at each other, wondering whether what this person said was true or false.
However, they also know the evil reputation of No. 76.
They felt that it was better to believe that they were there than to believe that they were not, so they all hid.
It was only twenty minutes anyway.
Even if you are just lazy at work on weekdays, it will take longer than twenty minutes
