Finally, after no more lobbyists called to buy the film and television adaptation rights of the work, Zhao Xingchi found Qin Yang, the head of the company's animation department, who had just turned 30 years old, had already started a family, graduated from the theater, and later went to the United States for further study, and has been engaged in the field of film and television special effects production since returning to China.

"Boss, I brought "Journey to the West", can I show it to you now?" Qin Yang walked into his office and asked, his words were very casual, and he didn't cringe when ordinary employees faced their bosses.

Zhao Xingchi didn't care, technical cattle usually have a good temper, as long as they can do good things, it doesn't matter if their temper is worse, he nodded, signaled to put it now, and asked at the same time: "How is the progress of 3D animation?" ”

Qin Yang replied while opening his laptop to play him the 2D animation of "Journey to the West": "3D is more complicated, and I am still working on character design. ”

After a while, the cartoon of "Journey to the West" played on the computer.

"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey,

You're amazing,

The mountains of the five elements can't hold you down,

Pop up a Sun Walker.

Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey,

You're so rare,

Recite the mantra again,

failed to change the true colors of Lao Sun.

Pluck a hair,

Blow out 10,000 monkeys.

Blink your eyelids,

Can see through ghosts.

Turn over a hundred and eight thousand miles,

……”

Listening to the familiar melody, Zhao Xingchi couldn't help laughing, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and he thought: "Nima's, it's really not easy, finally a little more familiar taste!" ”

The saliva song "Brother Monkey", although it is very unnutritious, is simple and bright, catchy, and it is also a childhood memory. So in Stephen Zhao's heart, this song is a peerless classic, and there are not many songs that can compare with this song. thinks that when he was still wearing open crotch pants and playing with mud, the song "Brother Monkey" was his favorite, because the broadcast of this song meant that the cartoon "Journey to the West" was about to start.

Looking at the cartoon, the skinny Monkey King bursts out of the stone. Crawling on the ground, seeing two golden rays of light rushing straight into the sky, alarming the Jade Emperor who lived in the heavenly court, Zhao Xingchi felt very warm, and his heart was full of love.

"Journey to the West" was written, TV series and movies can be filmed later, but cartoons can't be left behind, and the toy factory at home is still waiting to make a lot of money from the peripherals of "Journey to the West".

Whether it is Sun Wukong, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, Nezha and other characters, or the golden hoop stick, purple gold gourd, Hot Wheels, Demon Suppression Tower, Demon Mirror, three-pointed two-edged knife, mutton fat jade net bottle and other magic weapons. These can be made into toys and sold all over the country. Not to mention all kinds of image authorization, which is the bulk of the surrounding development.

He was in a reverie here, recalling his childhood years, and Qin Yang, who was standing next to him, was completely speechless: "Such a vulgar saliva song, is it really created and sung by the boss himself?" ”

What a monkey brother Monkey brother, you are really amazing; What Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, you are so rare, is this the rhythm of thundering people who don't pay for their lives?

Qin Yang only had one feeling: the thunder was rolling!

Of course, beyond the thunder. Qin Yang is actually very curious, because the lyrics of this song "Brother Monkey" write a lot of things that have not yet been written in the novel. For example, "Five Elements Mountain", "Tight Mantra", "Blink of an eyelid can see through ghosts", "Experienced in a hundred battles to take the lead", "Punish evil and promote kindness like a Buddha" and so on.

It's a pity that no matter how they tried, Stephen Zhao never revealed the plot behind.

The first episode of the cartoon is the first episode, telling the story of the birth of the Monkey King and the idea of seeking the Tao and visiting the immortals.

The text was written thousands, but made into cartoons. In fact, it was only about ten minutes.

When the ending song "A Master and Three Apprentices" sounded, what "white dragon horse, hooves facing west, carrying Tang Sanzang to follow the three apprentices", what "what sword mountain and sea of fire." No amount of traps and tricks can stop the sharp-eyed wishful stick", when Qin Yang wanted to vomit when he heard it, the first episode was finally broadcast.

Zhao Xingchi nodded with satisfaction, although this version of the "Journey to the West" cartoon is very different from what he has seen in his previous life, it is not like a god, obviously Qin Yang and other staff have grasped the essence during the production.

In the end, Zhao Xingchi said: "Just follow this style!" ”

Qin Yang looked overjoyed, nodded and responded, "Okay." ”

In any case, Stephen Zhao admitted the results of their hard work, which is the greatest recognition of their production staff, and it makes him happier than praising 10,000 sentences and rewarding a huge amount of money.

After Qin Yang left, Stephen Zhao continued to code words and coded the fifth episode of "Journey to the West": "...... When the great sage watched and played for a long time, he asked the land: How many trees are there in this tree? Land Road: There are 3,600 plants, 1,200 plants in front, the flowers are small and the fruits are small, they are ripe for 3,000 years, people eat the Tao of immortals, and the body is light. There are 1,200 plants in the middle, the layers of flowers are sweet, they are ripe for 6,000 years, and people eat Xiaju and soar, and they are immortal. The back of 1,200 plants, purple veined nucleus, nine thousand years of ripe, people eat and heaven and earth with longevity, the sun and the moon with Geng. When the great sage heard this, he rejoiced and did nothing......"

This time, Sun Monkey rebelled again, ate all the peaches, and made trouble with the peach feast, deceived the barefoot immortals, provoked the Jade Emperor to be furious, and sent Li Jing, the king of Tota, together with the four heavenly kings, Jiuyao Xingjun and other gods, to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and set up eighteen heavenly nets to catch it. Sun Monkey once again exerted his might, blocking all these gods, heavenly soldiers, and heavenly generals.

The so-called heart ape is a horse, the heart ape is difficult to determine, and the various behaviors of Sun Monkey can actually be found in human society and people, and they are artistically made by Wu Chengen, so it is clear that he is reading novels about gods and demons, but he is actually looking at the various states of living beings.

For example, the Monkey King rebelled twice, and the phenomenon of its practical human society can be completely explained.

Sun Wukong was just born, he was a commoner, and because of his intelligence and daring to try, he soon became the Grass King (Monkey King). became the king of grass, you can't just be the king of grass for the rest of your life, because the desire is endless, so Sun Wukong began to want to live forever, so he went around to seek Taoism and visit immortals, and finally learned a skill from Bodhi Patriarch. Now that he has learned the skills, of course, he has to promote himself to a higher level, and he began to take the official career, but as a result, he was only awarded by the imperial court as "Bi Ma Wen", an unpopular official. Sun Wukong was not angry, but went out of the court and defeated Nezha. The court looked at it, yo, it turned out that he had the ability, so he was crowned a Monkey King. However, the bad things continue to be bad at the grassroots, Sun Wukong has no relationship, no backstage, plus he is not good at drilling, and he has no culture, he is a vulgar old man, so he still did not integrate into the upper class, and was only sent to manage the Pan Tao Garden, and he didn't even have his share in the Pan Tao Festival. There is no way, Sun Wukong can only rebel out of the court again.

Sun Wukong's experience is a living story of the struggle between the grassroots and the bureaucratic class.

"Classical Chinese really costs brain cells!"

The code word was completed, Zhao Xingchi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

Set to release it on time at eight o'clock in the evening, Stephen Zhao got up and walked around for a while, rested for half an hour, and then continued to work, took out the document and approved it.

The specific affairs of the company are all managed by Han Minzhong, and Stephen Zhao is only responsible for the originality and review of film and television dramas.

In terms of TV dramas, the company is independently filming only two TV series: "Dragon Babu" and "The Legend of the New White Lady"; In terms of films, the independently filmed film is Zhao Xiaogang's "Cyborg", and the others are co-produced with other film and television companies, mainly two, "Gravity" and "The King of Kung Fu".

Don't mention the TV series, just talk about the movie, "Gravity" is not good at all for two or three years, and the filming of "The King of Kung Fu" is very fast, but it will not be filmed until the second half of next year at the earliest, and if it is released, it will at least wait until next year's New Year.

The progress of "Cyborg" should be faster than that of "The King of Kung Fu", but at least it will have to wait until the summer of next year.

Calculated in this way, he actually wants to be absent from this year's Lunar New Year?

"I'm also busy and dizzy, and I'm actually absent? How can this be! Stephen Zhao was taken aback, and resolutely disagreed with such a waste of time, money, and life, and could not let himself be absent no matter what.

Watching Xingye's movies during the Chinese New Year must become the consensus and habit of all Chinese people!

Listen to Xing Ye's music, read Xing Ye's novels, watch Xing Ye's TV series, watch Xing Ye's movies, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, Xing Ye's works must always be in the sight of Chinese people!

After scratching his head and pondering for a moment, Stephen Zhao aimed at the martial arts novel "Heaven and Dragon Slayer": "That's it, by the way, let Zhou Xingxing play a funny supporting role, let him adapt in advance, and test his progress at the same time." ”

A moment later, Stephen Zhao began to tap on the computer, crackling, and lines of words appeared in the blank text document.

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Leader": Zhang Cuishan, a disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, the head of the Wudang faction, married Yin Susu, the daughter of the white-eyed eagle king of the Ming Sect, gave birth to a son Zhang Wuji, and married Xie Xun, one of the four great Dharma kings of the Ming Sect, as a brother. Zhang Cuishan took Yin Susu and Zhang Wuji from Ice and Fire Island to congratulate Zhang Sanfeng on his birthday, and on the way, he was attacked by the two elders of Xuan Ming, and Zhang Wuji was injured by the Xuan Ming Divine Palm. On Wudang Mountain, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were forced to commit suicide, poor Zhang Wuji became an orphan in an instant, and because he was unable to practice martial arts because of the Xuanming Divine Palm in his body, his life was in danger......"

Today is November 16th, next month is December when the New Year stalls open, and the Spring Festival will be on February 5th next year. Even if it is released on the day of the Spring Festival, the remaining time will be a little more than two months.

In a little more than two months, a movie was produced and the schedule was finalized, which doomed the film to have no time to be finely crafted.

However, Stephen Zhao doesn't want to waste this opportunity, he doesn't want to be shoddy, and he still wants to have a good box office, what should he do? Get ideas from his work.

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Demon Sect Master" jumped into his mind like this.

Even if it fails at the box office, it's nothing, anyway, he has only seen such a movie adapted from the novel "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".

What's more, with "Journey to the West" in hand, he no longer takes the film and television adaptation of martial arts novels in his eyes, at least not as important as before.

"Just think it's a try." Stephen Zhao thought to himself. (To be continued......)
