"Journey to the West" is one of the four classical Chinese masterpieces, and it can be said to be a household name in the whole of China.

Let's not talk about the original time and space.

Just said that in this world, although many things have changed, "Journey to the West" is still there.

But the adaptation of "Journey to the West" in this world is earlier.

In 1980, the cartoon adapted from the first version of "Journey to the West" landed on the CCTV Children's Channel, although the animation was not very well-made, but it caused a great shock at the time.

You have to know that the communication power is never as good as that of television.

Even if it's a cartoon.

The ratings for this first version of the Journey to the West cartoon reached a terrifying 20%.

Next, one of the eight Imperial Capital Film and Television began to prepare for the filming of the "Journey to the West" TV series, and then the casting was also carried out nationwide, this version of "Journey to the West" was broadcast on CCTV, and then became a must-broadcast drama in the summer every year.

At that time, the ratings reached 70%.

The word-of-mouth has reached a score of 9.8 on Doudou.com.

This version of "Journey to the West" is a divine drama.

Later, he filmed the sequel "Journey to the West" and "Journey to the West" in one go.

In these three versions of "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong is played by Luo Qiuping, and almost everyone's first reaction to mention Sun Wukong is that Luo Qiuping can't get around.

Many people think that the Monkey King played by Luo Qiuping is too realistic, showing the spirit of Sun Wukong's unyielding, angry, and courageous resistance to the fullest.

The later versions of "Journey to the West" are not too famous.

In addition, "Journey to the West" is broadcast every summer every year, and Luo Qiuping's influence can be imagined over time.

And then it's the same sentence.

The dragon slayer boy of the year turned into an evil dragon.

It stands to reason that "Journey to the West" originally belonged to multiple versions, and it is understandable who wants to play the role of Sun Wukong.

But Luo Qiuping has been living in orthodoxy since ten years ago.

He thinks that the "Journey to the West" he plays is orthodox, and the others are all spoofs, what monkeys are still in love, and so on to teach bad teenagers and so on.

Many people think that this may be because Luo Qiuping's role as the Monkey King in "Journey to the West" is too deeply imprinted, in addition to Sun Wukong, Luo Qiuping later participated in many roles, but unfortunately there is no response.

For this reason, ten years ago, Luo Qiuping began to put his mind on "Journey to the West".

He bombarded all versions of "Journey to the West".

From 1983, when the "Journey to the West" TV series was played by Luo Qiuping as Sun Wukong, to now in 2021, it has been a full 38 years, and there are basically countless actors who have played Sun Wukong in these 38 years.

It's a pity that most of them didn't leave a deep impression on the audience.

For this reason, in an interview, Luo Qiuping said: "Why are other versions of Monkey King not liked by the audience? This is that they will only spoof "Journey to the West", and I hope that the relevant departments can ban these people who spoof "Journey to the West". ”

This interview also shocked many people in the industry.

You must know that a hundred flowers are the right way.

"Journey to the West" you Luo Qiuping played the Monkey King is powerful, but you can't stop others from playing the Monkey King because of this.

Now Luo Qiuping is 70 years old, and he has long stopped participating in any film and television dramas, but he is still active in the industry, basically focusing on bombardment.

He believes that only the Monkey King played by himself is orthodox.

When Lin Chen wrote the book "The Legend of Wukong" before, Luo Qiuping also bombarded it once.

Of course, after all, Luo Qiuping in "Journey to the West" successfully brought many people's childhood memories, and for this reason, many people, even directors and actors in the industry, basically ignored Luo Qiuping.

But there is one thing to say.

For so many years, anyone who shoots the theme of "Journey to the West" has hit the street.

Three years ago, Imperial Capital Film and Television wanted to restart the filming of the fourth part of "Journey to the West", and it also used the first-line big and small fresh meat mode, but the ratings were miserable.

Even the filming of "Journey to the West" by Imperial Capital Film and Television hit the streets.

You want to.

Who else wants to shoot?

For this reason, today the media heard that Lin Chen was going to shoot "Journey to the West", which still had to play the role of Monkey King, and everyone's first reaction was that Lin Chen was crazy.

But looking at Lin Chen's appearance, he was serious.

"So Director Lin, is it convenient to reveal how much investment is in "Journey to the West", and what is the main story?"

The reporters reacted very quickly, since Lin Chen said that he had filmed, he naturally had to dig deeper.

"At present, it is just to be determined, and the script has been written for the time being, so please keep an eye on the situation. ”

Lin Chen chuckled: "Let's wait for the notice." ”

Yes, Lin Chen doesn't seem to be able to interview anything here.

Then a group of reporters also hurried to interview the leading actors of "In the Name of the People".

Li Dong.

Bright.

Dong Tao.

Song Lie.

Wait a minute.

Twenty minutes later, the media outlets were already reporting.

"In the Name of the People" held a celebration banquet in the magic capital today, and the scene was star-studded!"

"In the Name of the People" celebration banquet The main creators of the whole drama get together again, and Lin Chen laughs and talks about the bed scene!"

At the celebration banquet of "In the Name of the People", Song Lie bombarded Xiao Xianrou and called on the market to return to rationality. ”

......

This is all some press release, and all the media focus on the "In the Name of the People" celebration banquet.

Then later it was mentioned that Lin Chen was going to direct a movie.

In the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", Lin Chen played the role of Hu Wan, so that everyone could see his acting skills, but later announced his retirement when everyone felt that he wanted to go further.

It's been more than a year since then.

Many people are thinking that Lin Chen can shoot movies again.

But no one thought that Lin Chen would shoot the TV series "In the Name of the People" first.

I have to say that Lin Chen is Lin Chen, the closing ratings of "In the Name of the People" broke 16, setting a new record in recent years, and at the same time, it also changed the capital's perception of the market with this TV series.

At this time, Lin Chen suddenly announced that he was going to direct a movie again, and naturally everyone was looking forward to it.

But looking at the news reported by the media, I was stunned for a while.

Yu Linsheng was changing his son's diaper at home, and at this time, the media reports seemed to freeze the frame.

"What are you kidding?"

Yu Linsheng looked at the media reports and exclaimed: "Lin Chen, this is too inflated." ”

"What's wrong?"

Meiling asked.

"Lin Chen wants to shoot the movie "Journey to the West", and he also has to play the role of Monkey King. ”

Yu Linsheng didn't dare to think about that kind of picture anymore: "I admit that Lin Chen is always creating miracles, but isn't filming "Journey to the West" a death?"

Online.

"I'm going, Lin Chen is going to shoot the movie "Journey to the West", which is interesting. ”

"I hope Lin Chen can put out the fire again with the IP of "Journey to the West", but is it possible?"

"Upstairs, have you forgotten "The Return of the Great Sage"?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but can anime and TV series be the same? Besides, Lin Chen plays the Monkey King?

"Yes, if Lin Chen shoots the sequel to the anime "The Return of the Great Sage", of course I'm optimistic, but this??"

"That's right, I also think it's a little painful, the first part that Lin Chen wrote, directed, and acted in was actually based on "Journey to the West"?"

......

Many people looked at the news and expressed disbelief for a while.

Everyone thinks the same thing.

The current IP of "Journey to the West" is a bad IP, basically whoever shoots it dies.

Many people want to rub the feelings of "Journey to the West", but they find that it is not so easy to rub.

Because this IP is rotten.

This is also why so many people were not optimistic about "The Return of the Great Sage" when it was released.

But I didn't expect "The Return of the Great Sage" to explode.

Some people may say, since "The Return of the Great Sage" can explode, why can't the TV series filmed by Lin Chen explode?

There is no need to answer this question at all, just think that Lin Chen wants to play Sun Wukong himself, and he knows that it is bad.

And some of them are the audience of "The Masked Singer".

"I'm going, this, this is Lin Chen is really ready to shoot the Supreme Treasure??"

"I'm laughing to death, it turns out that there really is a supreme treasure. ”

"Yes, but I still don't understand what Lin Chen is trying to do?"

......

The audience of "The Masked Singer" really remembers the name Supreme Treasure.

So far, the number of Weibo fans with Lin Chen's 'Supreme Treasure' as his nickname has not fallen, but is still rising.

Many people will have a misconception.

That is, you think that what you know must be known by others.

But they forget that it is isolation.

Take the fact that Lin Chen is the Supreme Treasure, don't look at the Supreme Treasure unveiling at the finals of "The Masked Singer" It is Lin Chen, and even everyone who makes trouble knows it.

But netizens who have listened to a lot of songs really don't know that the Supreme Treasure is Lin Chen.

Do you think it's weird?

But that's it.

No, Lin Chen also sent a message with Supreme Treasure's Weibo, and then said that he was going to prepare a TV series with the theme of "Journey to the West", and hoped that everyone would support him.

"I'm going, is this a corpse?"

"Supreme Treasure, have you finally remembered your own account password?"

"Khan, upstairs, don't you know that the Supreme Treasure is Lin Chen?"

"What, the Supreme Treasure is Lin Chen?"

......

Lin Chen didn't think about the discussion on the Internet for the time being.

At this time, he had already begun to prepare for the casting of "Journey to the West".

The reason why "Journey to the West" is classic is not only in the plot, in those metaphors, and not even in the love of the Supreme Treasure.

The characters in the play are the focus.

Many of the supporting roles in Xingye's movies are quite outstanding.

But it also pays quite a lot.

Think about Zhu Zhishan in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", Sister Pomegranate, and even Aunt Gong Li have sacrificed a lot.

As for "Journey to the West", the same is true.

Think about it, the scene in this plot where Uncle Da's crotch is on fire is a laughing person's stomachache, and the key is that the nonsense with a serious face is the easiest to make people laugh.

Spark Film and Television.

In the conference room, Shen Jin, Zhang Da, and Pang Tong were all there.

Because the three of them have been studying together at the Jinghua Film Academy, they have basically been familiar with each other for a long time.

To be honest, the three of them were waiting for the flowers, and they all thanked them.

Especially Zhang Da.

He is thinking about serving Lin Chen now, and this year's Spring Festival is the happiest Zhang Da has ever been.

First of all, the medical expenses paid by the mother-in-law for chemotherapy because of Xinghuo Film and Television were basically very smooth, and then my son also went to junior high school, and his studies were very good.

Families like Zhang Da are often ruined by one illness.

Because being admitted to the hospital is a bottomless pit.

Now Xinghuo Film and Television is covering himself, and Zhang Da feels that life is full of hope.

During the Spring Festival, he, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son, family of five were very happy.

For this reason, Zhang Da felt that Lin Chen had done so much for himself, but he didn't do anything.

Previously, Zhang Da also asked his agent Li Yue.

Li Yue said: "Director Lin said, this money will be deducted from your salary in the future, so you don't have to be grateful, and secondly, you are mainly improving your acting skills now, and you don't drop the chain when you are needed." ”

So Zhang Da is also quite hardworking.

Of course, Lin Chen understands that what is on paper is shallow in the end, so Zhang Da and Pang Tong are also often honed in the crew.

Now, here's the opportunity.

"Zhang Da, this is your script. ”

"Pang Tong, this is your script. ”

Lin Chen came to the conference room without nonsense, and gave the two scripts to the two of them.

Among them, Zhang Da plays the role of the second master.

Pang Tong plays Tang Seng, the Kang monk who can make everyone who listens to the demon commit suicide.

"Director Lin, what about me??"

Seeing that both of them had roles, Shen Jin also hurriedly asked, "I think my acting skills are also good." ”

"You can make a cameo when you arrive, it doesn't matter, you can familiarize yourself with the script now and then prepare the script. ”

Lin Chen said with a smile: "Then you go to Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television first, this time you are still the assistant director, if we cooperate well this time, I will let you be the director of the next play." ”

"Don't worry, no problem. ”

Shen Jin also said a little excitedly.

"Okay, the three of you will discuss the script more together, and then go to Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City together. ”

Lin Chen said to the three of them: "Regarding the funds, you go to Mr. Yuan to discuss, how much money do you need to ask him for financial reimbursement." ”

The three of them also nodded slightly.

Everyone was unusually excited.

I've been waiting for a long time, and I've finally waited for today.

After the three of them left, Lin Chen began to think carefully about the role of "Journey to the West".

Supreme Treasure is played by himself.

The second leader is Zhang Da.

Tang Seng is Pang Tong.

In addition to these three people, Gao Jingjing can play the wife of the Bull Demon King, Mrs. Iron Fan, and Sun Wukong has a leg.

Lin Chen wrote his name in turn.

That's right.

Tong Qing can play the role of Bai Jingjing, her acting skills have been quite good recently, and the role of Bai Jingjing is okay for Tong Qing to play.

As for the Spring Thirteen Niang.

Let's talk about it here, Lan Jieying was really beautiful back then, she was the head of TVB in the 80s from the beginning, and she had the reputation of "beautiful Wutai Mountain".

At that time, Lan Jieying was really the absolute protagonist.

It's a pity that I went crazy straight later.

The famous crazy woman in Xiangjiang has him.

Someone once broke the news that she was by a big man in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, which caused her to be mentally abnormal, and this matter was also admitted by her personally.

But it's true and false.

Think about it, "Journey to the West" began to be re-released, but everything is wrong.

Xing Ye turned behind the scenes.

Zixia Fairy and Bai Jingjing are also married.

Uncle Da is also not in good health and has been critically ill several times.

As for the screenwriter Liu Zhenwei, he is holding the IP of "Journey to the West" and sweeping bad movies again and again, every time he says that he will not shoot, and every time he finishes filming, he will say 'really fragrant'.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Chen began to think about the candidate for Chun Thirteen Niang.

Lin Chen wanted this actor to be able to do some high movements a little, and he had a little style.

The age is definitely around 30 years old.

A woman of this age is the most amorous.

After thinking about it, Lin Chen finally put the candidate on Zhu Qian.

Zhu Qian is 30 years old this year, has good acting skills, graduated from Chinese opera, and participated in a beauty contest in her sophomore year, was taken in by a talent scout, and signed a contract with Mile Film and Television.

Looking at her photos and acting skills, Lin Chen felt good.

The most important thing is that Zhu Qian is also an acting school, and she has a lot of fans on Weibo, but she never blogs.

In the past two years, Zhu Qian has not posted a Weibo.

For this reason, the popularity has also dropped very sharply.

To put it simply, he is also an actor with personality.

Lin Chen asked Li Yue to get in touch.

And then there's the role of the Bull Demon King.

In fact, Lin Chen really learned later that the original Bull Demon King was played by Second Brother Guan.

That's right.

is Lu Shuming, who played Guan Yu in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in 1992.

After all, the Bull Demon King had not shown his face, and Lin Chen was really stunned.

As for the shape of the Bull Demon King, it is Li Jianren, who is the big sister paper in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".

Lin Chen, the role of the Bull Demon King, felt that he just needed to find a suitable figure.

When he first wrote the script, Lin Chen had a little bit of a score in his heart for any character.

He wrote the candidates almost the same, and then handed them over to Li Yue for casting.

At the moment, there is still one person missing.

That's the Zixia Fairy.

Seriously, the Zixia Fairy back then was really beautiful.

It can be said that this role is absolutely impossible to make do with no matter what.

At the very least, you need to have that kind of fairy energy.

"Who to choose?"

Lin Chen actually wrote a lot of people in his book from the beginning.

But none of them fit.

Because there is no such fairy aura.

At this point, you look at the Zixia Fairy in "Journey to the West", and then think about whether anyone else can do it?

Speaking of Xiangjiang, whether it was a male artist or a female artist, they all had their own characteristics.

Don't say anything else.

Let's take Cai Shaofen, the actor of the Iron Fan Princess, look at how beautiful she was when you were young?

Look at the later entertainment industry.

The ones are long.

It's like copying.

If you don't use beauty when filming, I'm afraid you won't be able to watch it at all.

For two days, Lin Chen was working on "Journey to the West", and "Life Should Struggle" also went to the finale, not to mention the ratings of the finale, breaking 4.

Compared to "In the Name of the People", it must be very different, but it is not bad.

At this time, of course, it is time to celebrate.

Jiang Yiyang also seemed to have regained his fighting spirit.

And on the red carpet of the celebration banquet, suddenly a reporter entered Jiang Yiyang and asked, "What do you think about the girlfriend who slept with the male assistant?"

......

......

(Who do you think is better to play Zixia Fairy?)
