Chapter 58 The Perfect Ending
"Think about it, how to solve it, or is it like the tradition? After Tang Monk and his disciples took over the Western Sutra, they just forgot it?"
Not only the Earth in the previous life, but also the final solution of the old version of "Journey to the West" in this world is also the same. Finally, the time after returning to the court is added.
"Since I am writing the script, how can I stick to the past? I have to come up with new ideas, but how can I come up with new ideas? There is nothing to say about the original plot of "Journey to the West", otherwise I would create a plot?" Su Shichen fell into deep thought. In fact, the best ending is an open ending, just like "Inception", an ending has triggered discussions among netizens, so he also wondered whether he would also give "New Journey to the West" an open ending.
It’s easy to act when you have an idea. Su Shichen took out a draft and set an open ending for "New Journey to the West", but it is not appropriate to set it up.
"The open ending above the small setting cannot resonate with people at all, otherwise the suspense of the big setting is directly?" said the big setting of "Journey to the West", which is the promotion of the entire Journey to the West, but there seems to be nothing to leave behind.
"By the way, I remember I had read a novel from the prehistoric world before. Generally, the novel only wrote about the Four Tribulations of Heaven and Earth, but that novel wrote about the Fifth Tribulations of Heaven and Earth, which was the second time to be named God."
There is no concept of a second god in ordinary novels, so it is considered the first creation of that novel.
"Journey to the West is called the fourth great catastrophe of heaven and earth. This catastrophe is not only targeted by Taoism, but also targeted by the demon clan. Think about how many monsters Sun Wukong killed along the way. The most important thing is that Sun Wukong is also a demon clan, which means using the hands of the demon clan to weaken the demon clan, and he does not have to be affected by any cause and effect at all."
"In the end, you can point out this, and you can also mention the fifth great catastrophe of heaven and earth. This will definitely arouse the curiosity of many people, curious about what the fifth great catastrophe of heaven and earth is. Then when they concentrate on watching TV and want to get the answer, the finale suddenly, haha, that's it, this is the ending in the climax."
Su Shichen was very happy for thinking of a good idea for himself. When he thought of those audiences, he suddenly had a finale when he was getting excited, and he would definitely want to eat a fly.
Of course, there is another advantage in this. Because of the number of episodes in "New Journey to the West", it is impossible to express these, but the "Baohuang" he wrote has no such concern. He can write the fifth great catastrophe of heaven and earth, that is, the second time the gods are enthroned. After reading "New Journey to the West", he is confused and wants to know, he will buy books. It is a completely killing two birds with one stone.
He made up his mind to do it like God's help. Su Shichen completed the script in the end in a short while. It took twenty-eight days to finally complete the script. No matter where the speed is pulled, it is a miracle.
In the evening, Yu Qiyuan came back from casting the role.
"Director Yu, the script has been completely written, I'll give you a look." A thick stack of scripts.
Yu Qiyuan was already immune to Su Shichen's speed. After taking the script and browsing it at a very fast speed, the script was very exciting. From Yu Qiyuan's attitude of watching the script, he read it more and more seriously. After turning the last page, he found that there was nothing.
"Why is there no more? What is the fifth catastrophe of heaven and earth? The first time the gods were enthroned was in Shang and Zhou dynasties. When was the second time the gods mentioned in the script?" Even director Yu Qiyuan was very curious.
"Director, after reading the script, you want to know the follow-up so much, so there is no need to say more about the rest of the audience."
"The concept of the Four Tribulations of Heaven and Earth was proposed at the beginning of the script, and then as the script progressed, it was proposed that the first tribulation of Heaven and Earth was the great tribulation of the three tribes of dragons, phoenixes and qilins, the second tribulation was the battle of hegemony, and the third tribulation was the battle of the gods. The fourth tribulation was never proposed, but the ending was reversal. Journey to the West itself was the fourth tribulation. In fact, the ending of this reversal is perfect enough. Basically no one can think of this. There is no need to use the second tribulation of God, that is, the fifth tribulation of Heaven and Earth as the introduction, and it will end directly, which will arouse public anger." Yu Qiyuan said the idea.
"It is to arouse public anger, otherwise how can "The Great Wilderness" be sold well?"
"Secretary Director Su, you want to write the second gods into the book "The Great Wilderness"." Su Shichen nodded
"That's right, the reversal ending plus the open ending, so the last episode will definitely cause a sensation and create a new high. Similarly, if "The Prehistoric" writes the second god in it, the number of words will reach more than 500,000 words. If 500,000 words are published, you can publish about five books. The fifth book will be sold after the first round of "New Journey to the West" is over, and it will be sold for hunger marketing."
Su Shichen told all his thoughts.
Although it sounds like this ending is just for the sale of the book "The Great Wilderness", in fact, the popularity of "The Great Wilderness" will naturally drive the ratings of "New Journey to the West". After all, the original intention of "The Great Wilderness" was to create a book with the background for "The Great Wilderness", in other words, it is a grasshopper from Shanshan.
So Yu Qiyuan just thought for a moment and agreed to this ending method. "Deputy Director Su, when was the second time he was the gods? I don't have the patience to wait until the publication of "The Great Wilderness", I probably tell me."
It seems that Yu Qiyuan was really attracted by the script written by Su Shichen, but there would be no such question, which can indirectly reflect the excitement of the script.
"In fact, the second time the gods were enthroned was when Yue Fei resisted the Jin Dynasty..."
After searching in my mind, I finally found the name of the novel "The Legend of Song Dao of the Great Wilderness". This novel is also considered to be the work of the masterpiece of the Great Wilderness. Bijin wrote the second time that the gods were enthroned, and it also integrated the battle between the hundreds of schools of thought with Shushan. What Su Shichen wanted to do was to extract all these advantages.
Yu Qiyuan also listened to the slow story with relish.
"Bang bang" suddenly sounded knocking on the door, "Director Yu is me, I have finished the scenes of another crew, and now I can officially join the crew."
When you hear the sound, you will know that the person who came was Wang Zimo who was fooled by Su Shichen yesterday and ran away without paying. After Su Shichen's fooling each other yesterday, Wang Zimo became much more confident.
"Zi Mo Xiaobailong's script will be given to you later, but you will be more confident in one day." Yu Qiyuan seemed a little surprised. Although Wang Zimo's acting skills are good, his biggest disadvantage is that his personality is too shy and unsightly. It can even be said that he has some inferiority. No matter how Wang Geyi teaches, it will be useless. This has always been a part of Wang Geyi's heart. Yu Qiyuan, as a friend of Wang Geyi, naturally knew about this matter, but Wang Zimo has undergone a great change today. Although there is still a shy face on his face, he raised his head and raised his chest and became more confident.
"I suddenly realized what Deputy Director Su said yesterday. I put too much pressure on myself before." Wang Zimo looked at Su Shichen with gratitude.
Su Shichen waved his hand and said, "You clearly agreed to invite me to the cafe for coffee yesterday, but in the end he ran away alone and left me in the cafe, but I paid the money."
"Ah!...I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Wang Zimo suddenly became nervous and apologized repeatedly. It seemed that Xiaoshou's personality was not so easy to change.
"Deputy Director Su didn't expect that you still have the potential to be a life mentor." Yu Qiyuan was sincere. I don't know how many psychologists Wang Geyi hired to preach Wang Zimo, but it did not relieve it at all, but instead had a tendency to become more and more serious.
It is because of this reason that Wang Geyi dared not hire a psychologist anymore. It can be said that it is a big problem, but unexpectedly, he was enlightened by Su Shichen. This can be described as a fantasy.
First, separate the scripts, and each character's scripts must be separated separately.
However, these tasks are not required by Su Shichen himself, and the drama will be solved. The most important figures today are recruiting leading actors, Sun Wukong, Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk.
In the old version, Sun Wukong really has a thirsty face and thunderbolt mouth, with a hairy face covered with hair. As for his appearance, he can't see clearly. The same is true for Zhu Bajie. What about the handsome actors? He can't see clearly at all. So in order to avoid this, Su Shichen discussed with the makeup artist on the crew for a long time.
Finally, Su Shichen proposed a light makeup concept, just like Sun Wukong in "Dragon Ball". Although the setting in the comic is Saiyan, the author finally said that he borrowed from the Chinese classic "Journey to the West" in the character. Sun Wukong in it is completely the same as ordinary people. The only difference is that there is an extra tail, but later there is no tail. However, after transforming, it is a gorilla, and "New Journey to the West" can follow this mode. After all, Sun Wukong was born four great spiritual monkeys, but the little monkey in the old version does not look like a world-wide life.
The gorilla in "Dragon Ball" looks too ferocious. The Lingming Stone Monkey, one of the four great spiritual monkeys of Chaos, should be more domineering and mighty, and slowly modify it and finally set the character's outfit.
The protagonist is different from other supporting roles. Not everyone is qualified to audition. Instead, Yu Qiyuan feels that the actor is suitable for the role, so he sends an invitation, and then the actors come to audition again. Generally speaking, three or four actors compete for one role, and Sun Wukong invites more than seven actors.
Each of these invited actors is very famous, especially the seven people invited to play the role of Sun Wukong, all of them are first-class actors. It is good to invite one of them in an ordinary TV series, but "New Journey to the West" invited seven at once. From this we can see the strength of the crew and Yu Qiyuan's prestige.
The invited people were both powerful and idols. After four days of hard work, Yu Qiyuan, Su Shichen, Rong Zhen and You Teng, the actors of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Tang Seng and Sha Monk were finally decided.
Chapter completed!
