Although the script has not yet been announced, it is just a name, which has caused quite a stir in the circle, and even actors have begun to ponder the role, it doesn't matter if there is no script, anyway, it's Journey to the West, isn't it just those characters?

So a [Journey to the West] was picked up from the corner again.

After almost a month, the script was repeatedly polished, and finally met Li Mu's requirements.

The script was sent for review, even if the project was officially approved, the studio also released all the casting information to the public, and then everyone was stunned when they saw the character script.

What the hell? Tang Seng has changed from a handsome guy and a little fresh meat to a nagging middle-aged uncle? The scene between Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng has completely become a soy sauce fight, and the Bull Demon King has actually become a villain?

Anyway, is it the wrong way we opened Journey to the West? How do you feel that we are not reading the same book? This ........... Is the brain hole too big?

Of course, with the jewel of [Jiang Ye] in front, since the release of the character script of [Journey to the West], there has been no shortage of actors to audition.

The others are okay to say, but for the role of Tang Seng, Li Mu has watched dozens of actors' auditions, but he has never found Luo Jiaying's long-winded feeling that makes people collapse.

"You, Tang Seng, are also unprecedented, no wonder you can't find an actor!"

was chatting, a thin middle-aged man walked in, looking at his situation is not very good, although the suit on his body is quite decent, but some places have been a little off the line, obviously he has been wearing it for a long time.

What really attracts Li Mu is that his eyes are very bright, he always has a modest smile on his face, and his walking posture is also very upright, and there is no lack of poverty and short-sightedness.

Liang Hongfei nodded secretly, and was not polite, and went straight to the point: "Which section are you coming from?"

The man said without thinking: "Let's come to the section where Tang Seng is in the desert." ”

Li Mu's eyes lit up, most of the actors who came to audition before stared at the part where Tang Seng was in the dungeon, or the clip that was tied to the pillar later, everyone subconsciously thought that Tang Seng was purely a character who appeared for the sake of being funny.

In fact, what really allowed the role of Tang Seng to stand was the scene of his self-sacrifice in the desert to beg Guanyin to spare Sun Wukong.

Big talk is not nonsense, and adaptation is not nonsense.

Tang Seng is still the "holy monk" who is willing to sacrifice his ego for the sake of purifying sentient beings and for the great love of the world, which also makes the tragedy of Sun Wukong with the supreme treasure in the end, which seems less tragic, because he is also sacrificing the ego and completing the big self!

The man quickly performed, the first half of the performance can only be regarded as decent, and there is nothing too outstanding, what really makes Li Mu make a decision is that he finally threw a "Zen stick" to the sky and sat on the ground, which has a bit of the charm of a holy monk.

"Teacher Luo, do you want to leave a contact information? If it's convenient, a staff member will notify you of the signing in the near future!" Li Mu helped the man up from the place.

Teacher Luo let out a sigh of relief, and then had a sad face: "That, can I ........... after I sign the contract?" A little advance first?"

Well, it seems that this can no longer be described as a life embarrassment, as soon as the character was won, he borrowed money from the crew, if the general crew might have masturbated him directly!

Li Mu's eyes lit up: "Mr. Luo doesn't have a brokerage company yet, right?"

"Huh?"

.............

The reason why he signed him is, first of all, there is no cost, and secondly, his acting skills are also qualified, and there is not only one role that such an old actor can control, and he is not a loss.

After Tang Seng's role is selected, some other supporting roles don't need to pay too much attention, although the Bull Demon King is the biggest villain in the play, with more scenes, he doesn't actually need too good acting skills, anyway, he can't see any acting skills when he turns into that, but his figure has become a hard indicator.

Speaking of the Bull Demon King, there is another interesting point, in the original version of [Journey to the West], the actor who plays the Bull Demon King is called Lu Shuming, this name may not be known to many people, but the other role he plays is definitely a household name.

That is Guan Yu in the CCTV version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, well, it's hard to imagine that Guan Erye, who is righteous and cloudy, has actually become the hated Bull Demon King in [Journey to the West]!

The preparation period was almost three months, and the crew officially started, and the destination was Yinchuan.

Zhenbeibao Western Cinema, as one of the few film and television bases that can shoot the scenery of the Great Northwest, basically most of the shots about the Northwest Desert and Gobi in the Chinese film and television circle are filmed from here.

After running in several big dramas, the crew of the studio has become quite mature, so this time Li Mu did not interfere too much in filming-related matters, and instead concentrated on studying the characters.

In fact, it can be clearly seen that among the two parts of Journey to the West, [Moonlight Treasure Box], Stephen Chow's performance still follows the previous nonsensical style, but when it comes to [The Great Sage's Wife] Stephen Chow's performance has completely changed.

There are no exaggerated facial expressions, no nonsensical funny shots, in this one, he is just a supreme treasure! a little person who wants to change his fate but is always swayed by fate.

This is also the reason why Li Mu dared to act in this drama in person, you must know that the reason why Xing Ye is Xing Ye is that his nonsensical style is unique, and no one can control it at all.

After a few scenes, Li Mu also slowly found his senses, and what really worried him was the rivalry with Jiang Yinyue.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Yinyue's state was surprisingly good, just like the scene where Fairy Zixia and Supreme Treasure met for the first time at the gate of Pansi Cave.

Jiang Yinyue's performance is impeccable, she does not lose to Zixia in peak state in terms of appearance, and she is not bad at all in terms of acting skills, showing the innocence and pure beauty of the girl with a smile.

Because the scenes of the upper and lower parts were condensed into one play, the filming cycle was also shortened a lot, and all the live shooting was completed in just two months.

The post-production process is also quite smooth, and [Journey to the West] does not have too complicated post-production special effects, this is a movie that wins with plot.

It's just that when editing, the post-production team looked at Li Mu strangely.

Shi Ran even secretly asked after watching the finished film: "Are you sure you really have nothing to do with Jiang Yinyue?"

Li Mudu's heart was weak when he asked this, and anyone could see the affection of the Zixia Fairy in the play for the Supreme Treasure.

In fact, this problem has been bothering Li Mu during the filming, but Jiang Yinyue has always kept a distance from him, and almost does not take pictures with him except for filming.

..............

"What? What do you mean, or do you want to adopt the mode of college screening for promotion first?" Shi Ran is contacting Huayi about the schedule.

Not only Shi Ran was puzzled, but even Liang Hongfei couldn't understand Li Mu's intentions.

At the beginning, the reason why [Crazy Stone] adopted the mode of screening was completely out of desperation, and now there is no shortage of studio publicity channels, why do such a high-risk thing.

"Don't you think this movie is a bit miscellaneous?" Li Mu said helplessly.

Miscellaneous is inevitable, when Liu Zhenwei was filming Journey to the West, there was no detailed script until the start of filming, and the whole filming was temporarily set by Liu Zhenwei, and there were also a large number of dialogues given by Stephen Chow, I have to admire the whimsy of that generation of Xiangjiang filmmakers!

Therefore, the plot of [Journey to the West] is quite good, because this is the idea that Liu Zhenwei has had since he watched Journey to the West since he was a child, and it has been brewing for many years, but it is a little messy in the rhythm of the scene.

The reason why [Journey to the West] is so popular, the college student group can be said to be a great contribution, and even Stephen Chow was crowned as a master of postmodernist comedy, in fact, from beginning to end, Stephen Chow said that he didn't understand what the so-called "postmodernism" meant!

[Journey to the West] and [Crazy Stone] are both movies that rely on plot to win, and they both have more or less faults.

Therefore, Li Mu is not sure what the final result will be when he directly pushes [Journey to the West] to the market, it is true that most of the reasons for the box office failure of [Journey to the West] that year are that some of the concepts are too advanced and the audience level is not up to the standard.

But what if? Li Mu didn't want to take such a risk, so after careful consideration, he decided to conduct a large-scale college screening first to establish the reputation of [Journey to the West].

The audience has a herd mentality, and once word of mouth is up, their focus will be shifted to the plot, and they will not be rhythmized by some malicious comments, which will infinitely amplify some of these small flaws.

After listening to Li Mu's analysis, although Shi Ran and Liang Hongfei felt that he was a little too cautious, they still followed his instructions to contact the screening!

Of course, Li Mu was not idle, he had contacted the previous colleges and universities in Guangdong Province, and this time he was naturally inseparable from his threading the needle.

has been busy for almost half a month, and the details of the screening have been finalized.

Huayi also arranged a schedule during the New Year's Day, as for the better Spring Festival file, it is the treatment of his son, and there is no guarantee for the amount of films that are squeezed in!

"By the way, the soundtrack of this movie, do you plan to do it yourself or ask someone to do it?" asked Shi Ran.

"Hey, let's do it!" Li Mu said that he was born to work hard!

Speaking of the music in "Journey to the West", in addition to the episode "The Love of My Life", there are two tunes that are the most impressive.

One is the [Little Knife Club Overture], that is, the BGM of Sun Wukong's appearance, for this song, Xing Ye can be said to be extremely favoritive, and later appeared frequently in [Kung Fu].

The other is the opening song of the Great Sage's wife, that is, the background music that sounded when the Supreme Treasure brought the Tightening Mantra, this song was actually changed from the [Love of My Life], but it is not a classic!

Of course, after all this, [Journey to the West] is still missing a theme song! Li Mu couldn't help but get entangled.
