Chapter 158: Mentor cameo

Some people rejoice, and some people are sad!

No one thought that in the end, the cartoon launched by "Tomb of the Gods" a month ago would cause such a big sensation, so that after giving 5,000 votes, "Tomb of the Gods" still won the championship of the annual monthly pass, which hurt many local tyrant readers!

And those readers who originally bet on "Tomb of the Gods" can only watch the local tyrant readers of "Breaking the Sky" constantly exchanging rewards for monthly tickets, pulling the total number of monthly tickets for "Breaking the Sky" in December to an unprecedented, shocking figure of 60,000 votes.

Therefore, the readers who bet on "Tomb of God" feel that they have lost, fortunately, the amount of bet is limited, so the loss is not so big, but no one expected that in the last week, because of the popularity of the "Tomb of God" cartoon, the entire origin Chinese network has countless new registered users for a time!

After reading the free chapters of "Tomb of the Gods", they quickly recharged to subscribe to "Tomb of the Gods", and the most important thing was to vote for "Tomb of the Gods" with a reward!

Although one alliance leader can only get ten monthly passes!

But for a while, there were 3,000 new alliance leaders in "Tomb of the Gods" in a week, and the entire battle situation was completely reversed!

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is Xiao Ran and the origin of Chinese.com, in the process of such a strong betting activity, Xiao Ran's subscription increase is definitely more than five times the usual, so the two books will break the website's subscription record in such a short period of time, becoming the two highest subscribed books in the entire online literature circle.

As for the origin Chinese online, the staff member who originally proposed the betting campaign. has been promoted to assistant to the executive president, such a promotion speed can be described as the speed of rocket artillery, the reason is that his bet on yƬ has really brought too much gain to the origin Chinese network.

The traffic alone exceeded five times in one year, which is enough to make the market value of the entire origin Chinese network soar by at least three times, and it will be able to be listed soon.

In addition to these gains, there are also a lot of real monetary gains, just this year's "Tomb of the Gods" and "Breaking the Firmament" two betting duels, has produced 8,000 alliance leaders, more than 100 gold alliances.

And many readers subscribe to various types of novels in order to get together a monthly pass. Many authors have also benefited. Subscriptions have grown a lot, and it's a joy to say all.

And those local tycoon readers who supported "Breaking the Sky", although they did not make this novel the annual monthly ticket champion of the origin Chinese network as they wished, but at least they showed their financial resources to the authors and readers of the entire origin Chinese network!

For this reason, these local tyrant readers have also become the stars of the site. Its popularity is even higher than that of many authors!

As for the plot of the two books above. In "Breaking the Sky", the biggest villain from beginning to end, the Soul Hall has finally appeared. And all kinds of suspense and foreshadowing in "Tomb of the Gods" have also been slowly revealed.

But there are too many holes in this book, even if Xiao Ran wants to help fill them all, it is a little difficult, because there are some unfilled foreshadowing, and the author in his previous life may not be able to figure out how he arranged it when he first wrote it......

The overall winner of the monthly pass for the whole year, as well as the winner of the monthly pass book, have been produced. Although this author has opened the VIP chapter since August, the results are still blinding, and the origin Chinese network also sent an invitation to the author's annual banquet.

But after receiving the invitation, Xiao Ran still didn't plan to go, the relevant annual championship reward had been issued to Xiao Ran, of course, Xiao Ran naturally didn't take that money to heart, more just to enjoy that honor.

However, not going to the annual banquet is not that Xiao Ran is pretending to be mysterious or self-righteous, but that with his current status, it is simply not suitable to go.

If people find out that the author of "Tomb of God" and "Breaking the Sky" is the author of several serialized novels on "Minbao", and he is also an upstart in the film industry, who has produced several consecutive record-breaking movies at the box office in a few months, and is also the annual champion of The Voice of China, will anyone stand up and accuse Xiao Ran of using these identities to threaten the origin Chinese network to package him so strongly?

There must still be, so Xiao Ran doesn't want to disclose his identity, and tries to keep a low profile in the online literature circle, because this circle should be that every author is immersed in thinking about writing better books, and then relying on his own novels to gain the support of readers!

It should not be as impetuous as the entertainment industry, and there are all kinds of hype and operations at every turn, so this is also the reason why Xiao Ran doesn't want to appear at the annual banquet!

……

Xiao Ran remembered that in his previous life, the investment in the two parts of Journey to the West alone was nearly 60 million, and according to the price ratio, it is equivalent to an investment of no less than 120 million yuan now!

Therefore, to shoot these two movies, Xiao Ran also invested a lot of money, and the funds he is ready to invest will not be less than 120 million!

Although the box office results of the previous movies have been good, the total revenue of a movie has not reached 100 million, so when the investment amount of the new movie is exposed by the media, every filmmaker thinks he is crazy!

In addition to the cost of shooting, 120 million is also a large part of the preparation for future promotional expenses, these two movies are one of Xiao Ran's favorite Hong Kong films, so he will not allow the box office of these two films to suffer Waterloo again!

But other filmmakers may not be able to understand Xiao Ran's thoughts, and even Yida Group is glad that these two movies are invested by Xiao Ran's own Zhengdong Film Company, otherwise they may be dragged down to troubled waters, and in general, no one is optimistic about this movie.

Because for now, although the short story "The Legend of Wukong" is very popular, it is a text-based interpretation of "Journey to the West", and it has never been successfully implemented in the movie, and there has never been a precedent for filming such a movie with a funny theme of gods and monsters.

If Xiao Ran invests 120 million to shoot a martial arts movie or kung fu movie with a huge cost, there may be more film companies willing to invest money in him!

But if you take the big talk of Journey to the West, and ask for an investment of more than 100 million, there may really be no film company that dares to invest!

Because in this Chinese film history, there is really no movie similar to Journey to the West, let alone making money.

Although it is not favored by people in the film industry, the major media are constantly reporting the details and progress of the filming, and many people are still paying attention to it and waiting for the release of the movie.

Because Liu Kui had already taken the storyboard script drawn by Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran himself, as the first protagonist, often appeared in the crew and was able to help control it, the whole filming process was very smooth.

"Fourth Senior Brother, I didn't expect your ability to find actors is too strong."

During the whole filming process, Xiao Ran kept getting surprises, in the first scene, it was Sanmao who played the second master, this role was throughout the whole movie, and many jokes were thrown by him.

And in addition to Sanmao, the perverted blind man in the bandits, Liu Kui found the popular host Shao Hua to play a cameo starring role, but he didn't expect Shao Hua to be very face-saving, knowing that this role was not too heavy, but he still took it.

As for the other bandit groups, they were selected from the top 100 in the show The Voice of China, and even the mentor Han Lei played a bandit in it.

As for the Bodhi Ancestor in the back, he was played by the god of song Zhang You, who had a lot of rivalry with Xiao Ran in the play, and the final big boss Bull Demon King was played by Xiao Ran's mentor Dou Cui!

And the contact information of these people is not necessarily available, but Liu Kui found them through his connections in the entertainment industry, and invited them to play these roles that are not too heavy.

"Now the whole movie has become a team drama of The Voice of China."

After Liu Kui heard Xiao Ran's praise, he also responded with a smile.

It is conceivable that when the audience first walks into the cinema to watch this "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", they may feel that they have bought the wrong movie ticket, is this a movie invested by the Voice of China program team?

Of course, Xiao Ran is still very grateful that these directors and students of The Voice of China can participate in the performance without pay, and for this reason, during the filming, Xiao Ran also invited everyone to eat dozens of meals in a row!

Xiao Ran actually understands that Liu Kui's intention is to take advantage of the unabated popularity of The Voice of China to completely drive more audiences into the cinema to watch the Journey to the West two-part series.

Guanyin: Sun Wukong, you brute, you originally promised the Buddha to escort your master Tang Sanzang to get the Western Sutra, but you actually colluded with the Bull Demon King to eat your master, do you know that you have committed a mortal sin!

Monkey King: Don't be verbose! You chased me for three days and three nights, because you are a woman, I will not kill you, don't think that I am afraid of you!

Tang Sanzang: Wukong, how can you talk to Sister Guanyin like this?

Monkey King: Don't make noise!

Tang Sanzang: You're scaring me again.

Guanyin: You're not afraid of me, why did you hurt Fairy Zixia and snatch her moonlight treasure box? Aren't you just trying to get away from me?

Sun Wukong: Since I can't hide, my grandson will fight you to the death!

……

Guanyin: Today I want to do the right thing for heaven!

Tang Sanzang: The apprentice is at fault, and the master is also responsible, so ask my sister to let him live!

Guanyin: If I don't destroy him, I can't explain it to the Jade Emperor.

Tang Sanzang: Please tell my sister to the Jade Emperor, the poor monk is willing to pay for his life!

At this time, the picture was fixed on Tang Sanzang, Wang Luo, who played Tang Sanzang, had a firm face at this time, threw the Zen staff in his hand into the sky, and exchanged his life for Sun Wukong's life!

"Click!"

Liu Kui shouted loudly at the scene, this drama has been filmed for thirteen days now, this was originally the opening of the whole movie, but because the actor who played Guanyin was not found, and Xiao Ran needed to draw a monkey king makeup, it was put in the back before filming!

"In the last scene, the encounter between Pansi Cave and Zixia Fairy, after filming this first Moonlight Treasure Box, it can be released in advance!" (To be continued......)
