At night.

Li Shengzhe stopped serializing "Journey to the West" for the time being, but posted the news of its upcoming publication on Weibo.

announced it in advance, which can be regarded as an explanation to book friends, otherwise everyone has been waiting for him to be serialized on Weibo.

"Ah, why isn't the king serialized?"

"yes, didn't you say it was going to be serialized during the interview?"

"I'm also thinking about EMMM for free. ”

"Haha, this is the first book published by the king, and I will definitely buy it to support it then!"

"I just don't know that physical books are the same as those serialized on the Internet!"

"It should be about the same, I don't think there's anything to modify in "Journey to the West", it's perfect......"

"King, I won't be able to write in the future!"

"Yes, my lord, will you write in the future?"

"I hope the king's next book is our female frequency. ”

"Yes, the king, you have to consider the feelings of our harem group!

“……”

Li Shengzhe looked at everyone's replies, and his heart moved, among his current readers, nearly one-third of them are female readers, and these readers have followed him from female frequency.

The support for him is great, even greater than that of male readers, and it is a force to be reckoned with.

Most female readers like to be romantic and domineering, and they don't have so much enthusiasm for the bloody articles of male frequency fighting, which is a very common phenomenon.

Lee Sung-cheol is now thinking about whether to take care of his female readers?

They can be so supportive of writing one or two books on the male frequency, and if they continue like this for a long time, they will inevitably be lost.

Although Li Shengzhe had mixed with female frequencies in his previous life, he had not seen many works, and there were only one or two that could make him deeply impressed, and even if he remembered other themes, it was not of much use.

Because this world is like that everywhere, there are many suitable for female readers in film and television, such as "Langya Bang", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Legend of Miyue", etc., he still has a relatively good image, or should he start with TV series?

"Oh, it's sad!"

Thinking of this, Li Shengzhe looked sad, now he has to sort out "Journey to the West", the filming must also be put on the agenda, and he has to prepare a new book, which makes him a little powerless to think about it.

"Let's do this for now, and then compensate them when we have enough time. ”

In fact, the two paragraphs of love about Supreme Treasure in "Journey to the West" are very suitable for female readers, while sorting out "Journey to the West", the truth of "Journey to the West" is good, and then "Journey to the West" will be posted on Weibo to appease female readers, Li Shengzhe finally made such a decision.

……

Exit Weibo, open the document and start to revise and sort out "Journey to the West", saying that it is a revision, but in fact, it is more appropriate to rewrite.

When he serialized, he used the vernacular version, and added a lot of things that didn't belong to "Journey to the West" in the first place.

All of these must be eliminated and the original work should be restored as much as possible, so that its literary character can be preserved to a greater extent.

The first spiritual root nurtures the source of conception and flows out of the spiritual practice

Chaos is not divided into heaven and earth, and no one can see it.

Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Ziqing to distinguish turbidity.

Covering the masses of beings to look up to benevolence, inventing all things to be good.

If you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society, you must watch the Legend of Journey to the West.

The number of heaven and earth is 129,600 years old.

The one yuan is divided into 12 branches, Naizi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, each of which should be 10,800 years old.

……

Feeling Pangu opened up, the three emperors ruled the world, the five emperors Dinglun, and the world was divided into four major continents: Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent, and North Julu Continent.

Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is a country overseas, and the name is proud to come to the country.

The country is close to the sea, and there is a famous mountain in the sea, which is called Huaguo Mountain.

This mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents, the dragon of the three islands, since the opening of the turbidity and standing, Hongmeng after the judgment.

"Huh, if it goes on like this, it won't be completed in two months!"

It wasn't until half past one in the morning that he stopped, wrote for a full five hours, barely finished the second time, and couldn't help but sigh.

A chapter of 4,000 words usually takes up to an hour, but now it takes five hours to write in semi-literate Chinese, barely 13,000 words twice, which is more than half the usual speed.

……

The next day, Li Shengzhe met with Sun Tao again.

As soon as they met, Sun Tao's first words were: How is your script different from the one serialized on the Internet?

"What do you think?"

Li Shengzhe did not answer directly, the script was written by him according to the 86 version, but the combination of the original book and the 86 version, as well as a little element added by himself, which is naturally different.

"It's pretty good, I've seen your serialization on the Internet, and the discrepancies are still a bit big in the later stage, which is completely different from what I thought!" Sun Tao took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Oh, tell me how different it is, how big is the difference?"

Hearing his words, Lee Sung-cheol became interested.

"How can I say it, according to your early arrangement, I think there will be a plot of the second haunting of the Heavenly Palace in the future, but I didn't expect it to be such a happy ending!"

Sun Tao didn't care about Li Shengzhe's school examination, but expressed his opinion on his own.

"Haha, that's right! That's what you want, wait for the physical release of "Journey to the West", you will feel that there has been a change!"

The restored version is more literary and researched, and it has more things to reflect, and I believe that traditional literature lovers will be more accepting and loving.

This is also a stepping stone for Li Shengzhe to get closer to tradition and prepare for his future transformation.

"Now that I'm just preparing to shoot a film and television, you don't want to die by yourself, change it all the way, and don't be self-defeating when the time comes!"

Sun Tao looked at Li Shengzhe and said seriously, there have been such things before, that is, the author himself died and "modified" the works that had been tested by the public, but as a result, he destroyed his original work, not to mention, and forcibly destroyed the image of the work in the hearts of the public, and the result can be imagined.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention to proportion, by the way, is there any landing on the actors?"

After chatting casually, Li Shengzhe got to the point.

"Everything else is pretty much the same, but the four protagonists are a bit difficult, and if it's ordinary, all the actors are already in place.

But according to your requirements, the difficulty is not ordinary!"

Speaking of this, Sun Tao felt very uncomfortable, Li Shengzhe had to find the four protagonists according to his own requirements.

"Then look for it slowly, the protagonist is really important, and the current little fresh meat or something is not that their acting skills are not good, but they are not suitable in the first place.

You can also look for it among the people! You don't have to keep an eye on the entertainment industry. ”

Not to mention that there are masters in the people, the salary is relatively much lower, maybe the salaries of the four protagonists are not enough for a third-tier star to act in a TV series.

"If the people of the Buddha have been selected, the candidates for Monk Sha have also been settled, that is, the candidates for Wukong and Bajie have not yet been found.

If Wukong wasn't for the setting you gave, there would still be a lot of people willing to play it, and the most difficult thing is the role of Bajie.

I feel that several actors who are more qualified have returned directly after receiving the book, hey!"

Sun Tao said helplessly, mainly because the image design of Bajie is too ...... It's too ugly or too outrageous, after those stars saw the prototype of the character, they returned the book as soon as possible, and replied that they were very busy, and such characters should not delay their time in the future.

"That's it!" The character setting of Bajie is very joyful, and the popularity is also very high, I didn't expect it to be rejected so simply.

You must know that Bajie is a living treasure throughout the whole play!

"That's it! It's okay to have unpopular actors, so it's better to find actors who specialize in playing harlequins!

As for Wukong, look for those folk artists who specialize in monkey opera!"

I remember that in my previous life, Teacher Liuxiaolingtong also performed monkey dramas in the folk, and it has been like this for several generations, and finally starred in "Journey to the West" and became an instant hit.

"Hmm!" Sun Tao nodded silently when he heard this, and he also agreed with Li Shengzhe's statement.

Then he asked, "What about funding?"

"Has the approximate budget been made?" Li Shengzhe asked rhetorically, Sun Tao gave an approximate budget last time, and now that the actors are almost found, the budget should also be made!

"Judging from the current situation, 100 million yuan! As for the later propaganda and other aspects, there is no specific calculation for the time being, but it is also around 50 million!"

The last approximate estimate was that it would cost nearly 200 million for shooting and post-production, but now that the personnel are basically set, the budget will be nearly a quarter less.

is mainly saved on salary, according to Li Shengzhe's requirements, he is looking for about third-tier stars, the biggest wrist in the whole drama asks Su Ruobing, and people don't want to be paid, Sun Tao doesn't know how Li Shengzhe fooled people into acting for free.

"The funds should be able to keep up, don't you also want to invest? I also have a few partners here, and it may be a bit stressful to come up with 100 million at a time, but this time will not be too long, and the later funds will be in place one after another without delaying the shooting." ”

Li Shengzhe is now lying in the card with 40 million, Sun Tao promised 50 million last time, and the total is close to 100 million, as well as 20 million from Mu Zhuxi, and if each of the four great gods of the female frequency gives another 5 million, this will already be 130 million.

It's enough to calculate it in the early stage, and the rest of the funds Li Shengzhe plans to make up for it with the new book manuscript fee, so that he can account for about 55%, which is just within his own affordability.

If they are allowed to take the lion's share, then Li Shengzhe will never agree, this time there are mainly a few favors to repay, and he doesn't understand film and television, so he can be regarded as sharing his own pressure, this is the first time, and it may be the last time for some people.
