Everyone has no doubts about the previous positions, but in terms of the choice of actors, many people are puzzled. Three actors, in the eyes of everyone, only Luo Yunqian is normal, relying on a "A Chinese Ghost Story" and doubling her value Luo Yunqian signed a contract with Time and Space Film and Television, and some people have long expected that she will participate in this movie directed by Cangshuiyue.

And the other two, what do you mean? Wang Xiaobao? That actor, who was disliked by countless directors, gave what shit luck turned out to be the male lead actor of this play? Why was he favored by Ye Zheng, and at the press conference, Ye Zheng also announced that Wang Xiaobao was going to sign a contract with Time and Space Film and Television and become an artist under Time and Space Film and Television? Is Ye Zheng going to make this movie a bad movie? Some people directly ridiculed Ye Zheng for being discerning and knowledgeable, and this time it is likely to be planted.

However, some people pointed out that Wang Xiaobao has been silent for three years, and he is finally looking forward to this huge opportunity, and he will definitely not miss this opportunity, and he will definitely work hard for it. "If you don't film anymore, how can you support his girlfriends?" Wang Xiaobao's flowery heart and romantic methods have long been famous, and he is regarded as a model by the majority of men. And the other starring Xiao Qi, at the same time, is surprising, but more expectant.

As a leader in time and space music, as a "big sister" level figure in time and space group, this girl has taken the Black Butterfly Band and used her three albums since her debut to make a name for herself all over the world. This beautiful butterfly flapped its wings and flew all over the world. She has created brilliant achievements in music at a young age, so some people have long been looking forward to her filming. Singing and acting is excellent, and Xiao Qi is undoubtedly a person who is recognized by everyone in terms of appearance and strength.

Everyone also expected that she would definitely enter the film and television industry, but they didn't expect that she would be the leading actress as soon as she came up. At this time, some people suddenly wondered. How can there be two female protagonists in this movie? Moreover, "Journey to the West" is related to "Journey to the West" at first glance. What kind of story is this? It is related to "The Legend of Wukong"? Some netizens thought of Ye Zheng's classic, "The Legend of Wukong" has been regarded as the most successful and greatest adaptation of "Journey to the West" so far. Could it be that Ye Zheng is going to shoot "The Legend of Wukong"?

However, this idea has also been pushed, "The Legend of Wukong" is based on Sun Wukong as the protagonist, so it is called "The Legend of Wukong". And this "Journey to the West", at first glance, it looks like there is a play for everyone. So some people guessed that maybe it was a hodgepodge, and Ye Zheng wanted to use his talent to reinterpret the story of the four masters and apprentices...... "They don't know that the story of "Journey to the West" is with Sun Wukong as the protagonist!"

Xiao Qi used her mobile phone to surf the Internet, looking at the various speculations of netizens and giggling. It's fun to know the answer to the mystery and watch others guess it. "Hey, I'm talking to you!" Xiao Qi didn't hear a reply, turned his head to look at Ye Zheng who was sitting on the side, and shouted to him. Ye Zheng was drinking water, and he drank most of a bottle of iced tea, and Xiao Qi shouted: "Hey, hey, leave me some!"

"I'll go get you a bottle. Ye Zheng said.

Xiao Qi walked over and snatched the remaining half bottle of Ye Zheng's drink, raised his head and finished drinking, looked up at the sun in the sky, and said dissatisfiedly: "The weather on the Gobi Desert is really unbearable! It's hot to death during the day, and it's freezing to death at night!" "Come, I'll test you, do you know why?" Ye Zheng asked with a smile. "You don't bully me for low culture!" Xiao Qi snorted angrily: "I have checked the information on the Internet, this is because the specific heat capacity of sand and stone is low, and the heat absorption heat rises quickly, but when the temperature drops, the temperature is also emitted quickly!

Hey, do you think I have no education before I graduated from high school!I usually read books and study!" "Okay, Xiao Da Talented Girl!" Ye Zheng laughed. In order to shoot those scenes in "Journey to the West", they came to the Gobi Desert in the west, where the entire crew is stationed and has been filming for more than half a month. During this time, Ye Zheng flew back and forth between here and Yanjing, and most of the time was here. Although Cang Shuiyue is the director, the shooting and processing of many shots are inseparable from Ye Zheng at all. Ye Zheng didn't dare to let them all go to act and shoot, he was worried that they wouldn't be able to shoot the effect he wanted.

Wang Xiaobao is not Stephen Chow, he has not yet mastered the performance method of "nonsensical", and he is only a first glimpse of the door, and many actions, demeanor and language can only be completed under the guidance of Ye Zheng. And Cangshuiyue is not Liu Zhenwei, after all, it is difficult to understand the connotation of this play from the deepest level, and it is difficult to fully express the effect that Ye Zheng wants. Therefore, Ye Zheng must always follow the filming of this drama. And whether it is music, or the other two movies, as well as the scenes that Long Peggy is filming, they are inseparable from him. So he's been going back and forth all this time, and then he's just brought some file equipment here, and he's done right here.

"How much more time do we have to shoot here?" Xiao Qi asked. She plays the role of Bai Jingjing in the play, and at this stage, she also buys the role of filming Zixia, mainly in the first half.

"I don't know, let's try to do it in a month. Ye Zheng said. In fact, because of him, the shooting work has been lightened a lot, and Ye Zheng will simply solve many problems on the camera, which really reduces a lot of trouble. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether it can be completed in two months. "It's better to be like that. Xiao Qi complained: "Filming is much more tiring than singing!"

"Then you also have to know that generally speaking, a movie is worth more than an album. Ye Zheng said: "Whether in terms of commercial value or publicity value. As long as you shoot this drama well, it is equivalent to taking the first step into the film and television industry firmly and standing firmly! It will be of great benefit to future development!" "I didn't think about coming to filming, you had to let me come." Xiao Qi snorted.

"You signed the contract, and you get such a high salary. Besides, if I ask you to come, will you come?" Ye Zheng didn't have a good breath. Xiao Qi nodded: "Yes, when did I disobey the things you arranged? I'm afraid that you'll be in trouble, I'm afraid you'll be unhappy, when didn't I listen to your arrangements honestly? Oh, unlike some people, people are so good to him, but he doesn't know how to be grateful, and he still talks cool things here!"

"Then I should talk more, weren't you still too hot just now, I'll let you cool the breeze!" Ye Zheng said with a smile. "Cut! boring!" Xiao Qi ran to a makeshift board room, took out a small rechargeable fan, and blew it on his face. "Don't catch a cold, this weather is hotter than the east, but it's not too hot, it's not yet 30 degrees, you don't need to be so exaggerated." Ye Zheng said. Xiao Qi turned off the fan and said with a smile: "Oh, you see how obedient I am!" Ye Zheng rolled his eyes: "Good." Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Anyway, it's okay for a while, can you walk with me?"

"Where to go? What is there to go in this vast Gobi Desert?" Ye Zheng said. Xiao Qi looked around, pointed in one direction, and said, "You see it's a high slope, let's go over and have a look!"

"Okay, let's go. When the two of them came to the high slope, they found that the other side of the high slope turned out to be a small cliff, about dozens of meters high. Of course, it is also extremely dangerous. The two of them glanced down, and quickly retreated a few meters away and sat down. At sunset, the sun fades into the horizon, and the red light dyes the western clouds red. The ground was also sprinkled with a layer of gold-like powder, dazzling and dazzling. "This place can shoot that scene, the Bull Demon King Iron Fan Princess and their scuffle, the Iron Fan Princess went to chase the Supreme Treasure, the Supreme Treasure fell off the cliff, what do you think?" Xiao Qi said. Ye Zheng nodded: "You can consider it." "Since then, the Supreme Treasure has woken up in a coma and has devoted himself to the Buddha, right?"

"Hmm. "Zixia, what a poor woman. Xiao Qi said: "When I read the script, there is a sentence that impresses me the most, guess which one?" "There are so many funny lines, how do I know which one." "It's not a funny nonsense line at all. Xiao Qi looked at the sunset and clouds in the west, and said softly: "I only understand one thing, it is so painful to love someone. "This is what Zixia said when she was entangled with the Supreme Treasure before she was assassinated by the Bull Demon King.

"How heartache must have been when Zixia said this?And how much pain and disappointment was there in her last monologue before she died?" Xiao Qi muttered to herself, and then turned her head to look at Ye Zheng: "Who are you most impressed by this play? It's a café, and she is the only one busy with it." "Why did you choose Irish coffee? I don't think there are many people who drink it. Xiao Qi asked. "A story comes to mind. Ye Zheng said, "Why did you choose a cappuccino?"

"I also thought of something. Xiao Qi said: "This is an era full of romance and love, and usually many things are given some meaning related to love by young people. For example, the language of flowers, such as the different meanings represented by different numbers of roses. It's the same with coffee, many kinds of coffee have their own special meanings, do you know what cappuccino represents?" "Guess. Xiao Qi said with a smile.

"How can you guess this, warm and sweet?" Ye Zheng said. "No, guess again. "I don't know. Ye Zheng took out his mobile phone as he spoke, Xiao Qi pressed Ye Zheng's mobile phone: "You can't check it online!" "Then you don't have to guess." Ye Zheng shrugged. "Guess what!" Xiao Qi said. "The coffee is ready, please use it. The girl from the café came over with coffee and looked at Ye Zheng and Xiao Qi with a smile. Ye Zheng found the savior, so he asked the girl: "Beauty, can you tell me where Cappucci Ye Zheng is located, called Baishui Film and Television Base."

The Baishui Film and Television Base is famous for the scenery of the Gobi Desert with some ancient buildings, and most of the films and television that need shots of the Gobi Desert choose to shoot here. In terms of floor area, Baishui Film and Television Base is the largest film and television base in China. Because it's in the Gobi Desert, there's no clear demarcation. An area of about 100 miles, many places are suitable for film and television shooting. And Ye Zheng's location is about fifty miles away from Baishui City. Hearing Xiao Qi's words, because of the inexplicable apology in his heart, Ye Zheng nodded: "Okay, anyway, there is no play for you tonight, I'll go and tell Director Cang, and then take you there." "Uh-huh, I know you're the best!" Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Guy, you're very well-behaved!"

Ye Zheng was speechless, found Cangshui Yue to explain the situation, and then drove a car with Xiao Qi straight to Baishui City. "It's good to not work!" Xiao Qi opened the car window, stretched out the window, clasped his hands together in front of his mouth, and shouted: "Ah...... It's a good feeling to be free......" Ye Zheng smiled, turned on the car music, and sounded the song "You Fly to the Other Side of the City". "Hey, would you like to change a song to a little more passion?" When I was young, I heard this soothing: "Ah...... Babble, yes......"

"Is it okay for you to be quieter? People who don't know still think I'm going to rape you!" Ye Zheng said and rummaged in the car, took out the Black Butterfly Band's "Sea and Sky" and asked, "Do you want to play your songs?" "Don't, I like to sing, but I don't like to listen to my own songs, it's boring, change!" Xiao Qi said: "But I can't ask for rape me, come on, do you want my sister to take the initiative to undress?" Ye Zheng sweated profusely and was defeated: "Forget it." ”

Then he stuffed another album into it, and Yan Xiaomei's singing voice sounded: "It's raining outside, it's like my heart is dripping, it's not easy to love you for so long...... "Hey, is it okay to change it? Let's have a cheerful one, such a sad song doesn't suit my current mood." Xiao Qi was dissatisfied: "I'm embarrassed to put on "Can I Hug You", I also want to ask if I can hug you?

"It doesn't matter if you hug it. Ye Zheng said with a smile, looking for other albums, he often has no less than ten albums in his car, most of them are in their company, sometimes when he listens to it while driving in the car, he has a feeling of time and space travel, and he feels like he has returned to his previous life in a trance. "Pervert!" Xiao Qi smiled without looking back: "Let me hug me or not, I'm afraid of getting pregnant......!" Look at it, what's running over there, is it a hare?" Xiao Qi danced with his hands, and Ye Zheng couldn't help but reprimand: "You pay attention, don't fall out of the car." ”

Xiao Qi didn't care, and said excitedly: "It should be a hare, I didn't think there are hares here, it's so fun, I'm going to take someone to hunt hares tomorrow! It must be very interesting! By the way, will there be Tibetan bell sheep here?" "What do you say? This is not Tibet." "Ye Zheng is helpless antelope, do you dare to fight? That's a national first-class protected animal, and hunting is a prison sentence. "You spend money to redeem me, you don't get it, anyway, you have money." Xiao Qi didn't care.

"It's not like that's how money is wasted. Ye Zheng said. "The sparrow on the windowsill is ...... on the telephone pole" Wang Jie's singing voice sounded in the car again, and Xiao Qi said helplessly: "Okay, this song is not bad." That's right, Wang Jie is in love with a little Korean girl, do you know?" "Of course I know, I'm still a matchmaker!" Ye Zheng said: "That little girl's name is Park Hye Kyo, she is an artist of South Korea's Star Entertainment, and her uncle is the major shareholder of Star Entertainment." Hey, didn't you watch this year's Spring Festival Gala?

"I originally watched it, but then I saw the show you performed, and I thought it wasn't good, so I turned off the TV and went to sleep. Xiao Qi said. That night, "Liang Zhu" performed a touching life and death love song on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, almost everyone praised the moving music, and the beautiful and moving lighting design of the stage background, but Xiao Qi turned off the TV silently, returned to his room, closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

"Ye Dong can call me Xiaobao. Wang Xiaobao said respectfully, and asked, "I don't know what kind of drama this is?" Listening to Wang Xiaobao's question, Du Sanming also pricked up his ears and prepared to listen carefully, Ye Zheng has been talking about nonsensical performances, and he is also emphasizing that this is a comedy, but he has never told him what kind of drama this is.

"This drama is related to Journey to the West. Ye Zheng laughed a little mysteriously. "Something to do with Journey to the West?" Wang Xiaobao and Du Sanming were both stunned: "Could it be a remake of one of the plots?" In this world, "Journey to the West" is also a classic masterpiece, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a wide influence. In the 80s, Huaxia TV invested in making "Journey to the West" into a TV series, just like the CCTV version of "Journey to the West" that year, which became an immortal film and television classic. Later, the TV series was remade many times, and several of the big productions also received a lot of ratings, but the reviews were far inferior to the classics of the eighties.

Later, some people came up with some ideas, which was to remake and adapt one of the plots into a movie. Anyway, because of the map-style plot mode of "Journey to the West", the plot can become a story independently, so a number of movies based on "Journey to the West" have emerged, some of which are faithful to the original, and some of which have been greatly adapted...... As a result, there have been such as "Emotional Daughter Country", "The Beautiful Life of Gao Laozhuang", "Nezha vs. Sun Wukong", "The Story that Tang Seng and Little White Dragon Have to Say", ...... Although most of the reviews are not good, there are also many that have achieved good box office results, such as last year's "Nezha vs. Sun Wukong", which has no depth, no thought, and no connotation, but still won a box office of 360 million and a good result of 500 million overseas sales. The reason for this depends to a large extent on the progress of science and technology. The mature and exquisite wonderful fighting pictures produced by the computer, and the application of three-dimensional animation technology, make many people addicted to its wonderful pictures.

Taking this as an example, using wonderful special effects to make up for the connotation of the plot has also become a foothold for everyone to remake and adapt "Journey to the West". So Ye Zheng mentioned that the story was related to "Journey to the West", and Wang Xiaobao and Du Sanming subconsciously thought it was so. "It's not a remake, it's a big adaptation. Ye Zheng smiled: "This movie, I planned to be about three hours long. Subvert the original plot of "Journey to the West" and interpret a tragicomedy. ”

"Three hours!" Wang Xiaobao gasped, startled by Ye Zheng's words. "Hmm. Ye Zheng nodded: "Actually, I originally planned to make two parts, but considering that it would be better to put them together after all, I simply combined the two into one." Of course, the plot can't be cut too much, so in terms of length, it will be equivalent to the length of two movies. ”

"This ......," Wang Xiaobao frowned. "What's the matter, scared?" Ye Zheng looked at him with a smile. "No!" Wang Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Dong, please tell this story first, I'll listen to it." ”

Du Sanming also couldn't wait to listen, very curious about how Ye Zheng would subvert the traditional "Journey to the West", tragicomedy? Wasn't it originally a comedy? How did it become a tragicomedy? Ye Zheng nodded and said slowly: "This story is like this...... Sun Wukong escorted Tang Sanzang to the West to learn scriptures, but halfway through he conspired with the Bull Demon King to kill Tang Sanzang and stole the Moonlight Treasure Box...... "The story told by Ye Zheng is naturally the classic movie "Journey to the West" in his previous life.

The story of this well-known rebellion myth has created a movie legend. It has successfully created a number of immortal classic characters, disseminated classic lines and dialogues, and gave birth to a group of loyal "big talk fans", leaving a strong mark on film culture.

Such a classic, Ye Zheng will naturally not lose it, and it is bound to be filmed. Time and Space Film and Television were established, and three films were filmed, "Suzhou River" and "Can't Do Without You" are biased towards literature and art, and they are destined not to win too high a box office, nor will they have much influence. Therefore, the focus of time and space film and television is still on the movie "Journey to the West". Originally, this movie was divided into two parts: "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" and "Journey to the West: Cinderella". But Ye Zheng felt that this was not good. In the previous life, although "Journey to the West" was widely acclaimed, when it was released in Hong Kong in 1995, the total box office of the two films combined was only more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, although it was not miserable, but compared with its popularity later, it was too far and too far behind.

When it was released in Beijing at that time, both films only ended up with a box office of about 200,000, which was really low. At the root of it, taking apart a film is a reason. For example, when many people mentioned "Journey to the West" later, most of what they thought of was the second half of "Journey to the West: Cinderella", and what they thought of was the love between Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy. And the director at the time, Liu Zhenwei, also regretted that the film should not be divided into two episodes, even if there is a lot of material, it should be condensed as much as possible. It's better to overwhelm the audience than to discourage them.

Liu Zhenwei remembered this lesson. Ye Zheng naturally did not dare to repeat the mistakes of the past. Another very important reason is the current situation. In 1995, the film's presentation and form type seemed a little too avant-garde. It is not favored by many people in the industry. Because this movie contains too many genres, action, comedy, sci-fi, tragedy...... At that time, many people couldn't accept this kind of movie that was a bit out of the times for a while. And at that time, the managers of many film companies also felt that the film was "too noisy and noisy", and they were not optimistic, so there was no publicity.

These reasons led to the poor box office of "Journey to the West", but for the current environment of the times, the methods that seemed avant-garde and excessive in 1995 are now decent. This is not a problem. In terms of publicity, time and space film and television will naturally make a big splash. Therefore, Ye Zheng is ready to make a big deal about this movie, not only at the domestic box office, but also to enter overseas strongly. If "The Two of Us", which created a box office success for feature films last year, can be regarded as the first shot of time and space film and television, then "Journey to the West" is a heavy artillery attack. "The Supreme Treasure used the Moonlight Treasure Box to travel through again and again, but the Moonlight Treasure Box suddenly malfunctioned, and it actually brought him back five hundred years ago. And at this time, the Zixia Fairy was walking towards him......"

Ye Zheng took a sip of coffee, looked at the two people who were already immersed in the story, and continued: "The above is the plot of the first half, and the following is the second half. This Zixia Fairy and her sister Qingxia were originally the wicks of the sun and moon lamp in front of the Buddha's throne......" Telling this story, Ye Zheng was also excited. The thing he is most excited about is to bring out the classics of his previous life. What I look forward to most is that the classics of the previous life can create brilliance in this world again.

After drinking two cups of coffee and talking for half an hour, Wang Xiaobao and Du Sanming listened carefully and didn't say a word. The more they listened, the more amazed the two of them became, and the more they admired Ye Zheng. Such a plot and such a subversive whimsical idea completely exceeded their imagination of "Journey to the West". The story of the four masters and apprentices taking the Western Scripture to kill demons and eliminate demons can be made up like this?

If it weren't for the familiar characters and monsters such as spider spirits and white bone spirits, it would be hard to believe that this story was adapted from "Journey to the West". Is this an adaptation? No, it's a completely new story!
