Hello dear listeners. This is Lynn, the voice of the 5th Monkey. This is an emergency. Special episode that is surprisingly not about Journey to the West, but also not entirely unrelated listeners. If you happen to live in Australia or New Zealand, a Chinese movie titled Creation of the God's One Kingdom of Storms or Function, The Ibu Zhao Guofengyun well hits theaters near you starting from September 14th, 2023.
The movie will be shown in original Mannering with English subtitles and we are asking you to please go see it. Our translator has seen it four times and she still feels as far from enough. The movie is loosely based on the novel Feng Shen Yan Yi, the investiture of the gods created at around the same era as Journey to the West, and is similarly a product of the collective imagination.
It's set in the infancy of the Chinese civilization and has an assembly of just about every God you can name, including some of the familiar faces you have already met in Journey to the West. Milja is that same short tempered yet incredibly powerful little boy you knew from Journey to the West. He is absolutely adorable and amazingly acrobatic in the movie.
And there's Arnon Shen, also known by his full name Yang Jian in this movie. Yes, he has a third eye on his forehead. And yes, he has that iconic spear of triple tips and double edges. You will fall for him at first sight, just like you did in Journey to the West. So if you live in Australia or New Zealand, or happen to visit there soon, please do not miss this once in a Lifetime movie experience.
Go see this movie and witness how far the Chinese film industry has come after many generations of hard work. You will not regret it. It's faithful to the tales, not in exact words, but in spirit and soul. It's how our team wishes Journey to the West could be taken care of on the big screen. No one paid us to do this promotion. It's.
Just out of our very true hearts that we want this movie to succeed. Also, this is a trilogy, so there are movies two and three waiting to be made with box office earnings. So if you're asking will the 5th monkey make a special episode every time this movie comes out in another region, the answer is yes.
And we will continue doing this until the final movie comes out in 2025. Because this is about the future of the genre. Please go see this movie. This is the fifth monkey. And thank you for listening.
