Chapter 122
The filming went extremely smoothly. Although Lin Ye had never been a director, he had read Journey to the West more than once.
When I was young, during the summer vacation, I could always find a few that played Journey to the West by switching to several channels, and it didn’t matter which episode I started watching from.
Therefore, he was not too familiar with the plot of Journey to the West. He didn't need to think about the storyboards or the script at all. He just copied it according to the original version shot by director Yang Jie.
Except for the occasional pointers on the actors' acting skills, he doesn't have to worry about anything else. Most of the shots are done in one pass without the need for special effects or replacements. All the scenes are done by the actors themselves.
In less than half a day, all the scenes on Huaguo Mountain were shot.
Of course, if we follow the original version, the first episode also includes the plot of Sun Wukong going to Fangcun Mountain to learn skills, but Lin Ye did not film it together.
Because this would make the plot a bit too compact. He didn't want to shoot only 25 episodes like in his previous life. His idea was to shoot at least 100 episodes.
Otherwise, how can we make it exclusive to members, how can we make it available in advance, and how can we insert more advertisements?
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his loudspeaker and shouted to the crew present:
"Stuck! Today's episode is filmed here, everyone can rest."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present did not appear too happy. On the contrary, they were still a little unfinished, especially Yuan Xiaoliu, who played Sun Wukong.
However, considering that this was the director's request, they didn't say anything more. They took the initiative to go aside and picked up the script that Lin Ye had given him before and began to think about it carefully. From time to time, the actors present would gather together. Talk about your performance experience.
Seeing how serious they were, Lin Ye also showed a hint of emotion on his face.
"This is what the entertainment industry should be like."
After saying that, he turned to the two young monks beside him and said:
"Yi Mou, Ji Zhong, you two come over here, and I will tell you how to be a good director."
"After you have learned all the skills of this director, the filming will be entirely left to you."
After hearing his words, the two young monks standing in front of him immediately nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, Young Master, we will definitely learn from it."
"Well, just have this determination. When you produce your own good works in the future, your names will always be remembered by the world, and you will become a world-famous director!"
Amid Lin Ye's encouragement, the two young monks who were personally selected by him were immediately excited.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye handed over all his knowledge about filming to the two of them.
The two also showed extraordinary understanding in the process and were able to draw inferences quickly.
When the two of them began to figure out how to shoot a movie, Lin Ye took out his computer and started post-processing the scene that had just been shot.
He also hired two apprentices to learn subtitles, sound effects, and picture editing.
His expectation is to train a qualified team so that they can independently complete the filming of movies and TV series.
After all, he is a talkative person in the Demon Sect, so he can't always follow the crew in filming.
Fortunately, the monks in Tianyuan Continent were smarter than the other monks and learned things faster than the last. In just half a day, everyone in the crew was performing well in their respective positions.
When the time came in the evening, the content of the first episode was made into a film.
But this is obviously not enough, because the most important thing is missing, and that is the theme song.
Speaking of the theme songs of Journey to the West, the first thing that came to Lin Ye's mind was Yungong Xunyin and Dare to Ask Where the Road Is.
No way, these two are too classic. The former is the opening theme of Journey to the West, and its melodious melody makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. The latter is the ending theme and gives people a feeling of excitement and excitement.
Of course, in addition to this, there are also classic episodes, Daughter's Love, Great Psalm, Zhu Bajie Carrying His Wife, Tianzhu Girl, etc.
It is no exaggeration to say that any song taken out can be called a childhood memory.
"It's time to give the natives of Tianyuan Continent a little bit of the shock of childhood hits."
"Speaking of singing, I can have a good Tianyuan voice by then, and there should be a lot of people watching the Happy Nuns or something like that."
With this thought in his mind, he said hello to everyone in the crew, and then teleported back to the Giant Whale City.
When he found Lei Jun, who was supervising the work of the Yida Plaza project department, he spoke directly:
"Where are the female cultivators from Huanyinfang that you were asked to sign before?"
Upon hearing his words, Lei Jun first threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and then waved his hand to send Bao Shuangquan and others away.
After confirming that no one was around, he whispered:
"Back to the young master's house, my subordinates rented a courtyard for them to live in. Do you want to go to the young master's house?"
"They are just entertainers..."
"What are you talking about? I want to discuss things with them about music." Lin Ye glared at Lei Jun fiercely.
"Discussing music?" After saying this with hesitation, Lei Jun looked at the moon above his head.
"Okay, this is the key to the magic circle where they live in the other courtyard."
Lin Ye casually took a jade plaque.
"Here are their pictures and their ages."
Lin Ye:...
"This is produced by Hehuan Sect..."
"Enough, enough, what a mess, let's go."
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Ye, holding the magic circle key, teleported away from the scene.
When he appeared again, he had already arrived at a luxurious villa in the east of the city. After explaining his identity and purpose, he was quickly invited in by the female cultivator of Huanyinfang.
As soon as he entered, two figures appeared on the big tree outside the villa. They were Ghost Servant No. 1 and Ghost Servant No. 2.
The two of them lay on the tree trunk, one on the left and one on the right, looking straight into the yard.
"Brother, do you want to report this to the Queen of Yin?"
"Are you crazy? Can this be told?" Ghost Servant No. 1 said as he picked up his mobile phone and turned on the camera to aim at the yard.
"What's the big deal? The Sect Master said he was discussing music with them."
"You're out of your mind. You're here in the middle of the night to discuss music. Besides, does the Sect Master know music?"
"Forget it. No one of us can mention this. No matter how many spirit stones Lady Yin Hou gives us, we can't leak a single word. Sometimes lying is also a kind thing."
"Yes, and the Sect Master just made a mistake that most men would make. The Sect Master has worked hard for the Demon Sect for his whole life. It's time for him to enjoy himself. Just pretend I didn't see what happened today."
"You don't know how popular the Sect Master is among the righteous female cultivators recently. By the way, I recommend you to read this book, The Domineering Demon Lord Falls in Love with Me. It's really well written. I just recommended it to Lady Yin Hou."
"Ah? Why did you recommend this thing!"
Just as No. 1 and No. 2 were arguing, bursts of melodious music came from the courtyard.
Thump thump thump... thump thump thump thump thump thump... thump thump thump...
......
After spending a night, Lin Ye finally found a group of singers from Huanlefang and successfully re-recorded all the classic music from Journey to the West.
After he finished re-recording the music, he immediately uploaded the first episode of Journey to the West to Penguin Video.
