Liu Xiao Ling Tong's film "The Money Lover" is set to be released, and the master and apprentice of Journey to the West will be reunited and bloom

Today (July 21), Liu Xiao Ling Tong's film "The Money Lover" was officially scheduled to be released in theaters and online. It will be released on iQiyi's movie channel on July 25 and will be free for members. The film is starred by Liu Xiao Ling Tong, who plays the Monkey King, and co-starred by Ma Dehua, who plays Pigsy, Wang Yue, who plays Tang Monk, and Liu Dagang, who plays Sha Monk in the sequel. This is also the first time that the master and apprentice of "Journey to the West" have joined together to shoot a movie.

The movie "The Money Lover" mainly tells the story of Mr. Hao, played by Liu Xiaolingtong, who became rich overnight due to an accidental opportunity and turned from a vegetable farmer into a multi-millionaire.

Because Mr. Hao was eager for his daughter to come home, he was plotted against by Zhu Shoufu. In desperation, he was awakened by Sha Dahai (played by Liu Dagang) and Boss Tang (played by Wang Yue)...

The movie "The Money Lover" is the four's first attempt at shooting a comedy movie. It took three years from the start of filming to its release.

Director Dong Dong said: "The filming start-up ceremony of "The Money Lover" was held twice. It is difficult for four "childhood idols" to appear in the film together, and it is even more difficult to tell a good story. It must have life philosophy, but not simple preaching; it must have comedy plots, but not be vulgar and spoof; it must be sensory stimulation, but not exaggerated and frivolous. Two starts, three post-productions, and the deleted materials are enough to cut out two "The Money Lover". Doing so is not willful, but responsibility, and even more so, emotion. Friends who grew up watching "Journey to the West" will not allow you to mess up. In short, we are not only interested in big scenes, not only big productions, but also big spirits! I hope that the movie "The Money Lover" can bring life insights to the audience. Most of us can control the transition from poor to rich, but it is difficult to control the transition from rich to strong. On the road of life, what are we "obsessed" with? Is it money, or..."
