The organizer said that the Monkey King, whose Chinese name is Sun Wukong, is the incarnation of bravery, loyalty and ambition, and the design idea of the official poster showcases traditional Chinese cultural elements to the world in a contemporary art language.
The organizer also said that the design perfectly conveys the message that the real glamor of films lies in collective wisdom and devotion, while paying tribute to the behind-the-scenes filmmakers.
The poster also drew applause from netizens.
"It's a wonderful piece and full of imagination," said a Web user on Sina Weibo. "The traditional Chinese art and culture are highlighted, with a clear theme."
