All-rounder Artist

There was another reason for choosing Journey to the West:

The Journey to the West IP was enormous!

So big that many filmmakers only focus on making a film about the Great Sage Sun Wukong. Over and over, they made countless versions of the monkey, so much so that the monkey’s 84,000 hairs were almost completely pulled out –

Let alone 84,000 hairs.

I’m afraid that even if you added the three life-saving hairs given to Sun Wukong by Guanyin Bodhisattva, it wouldn’t be enough for those people to pluck.

And the audience keeps paying for it.

This attests to the influence of the monkey.

People simply can’t get enough of it.

If it weren’t so profitable, why would everyone compete with the monkey year after year.

Blue Star doesn’t have “Journey to the West”.

All those monkey hairs, enough for Lin Yuan to pluck at leisure.

The prerequisite is that Lin Yuan must also build the influence of “Journey to the West”.

This is undoubtedly a massive project.

Luckily, Lin Yuan had Starlight support.

To build the influence of the Journey to the West, TV series and animations of Journey to the West need to be made, all of which require the support of an entertainment company.

Having made up his mind.

Lin Yuan spent a huge sum of money to commission a Journey to the West from the System!

As for the cost, Lin Yuan didn’t dare to mention it.

It was outrageously expensive.

When the novel was delivered, Lin Yuan was surprised to find that the system had arranged two versions for him –

One was the original version of the “Journey to the West”.

The other was a modern version of “Journey to the West”.

Lin Yuan felt that the money was well spent.

Of the two versions, the classical version had more rhythm and cultural richness; while the modern version was smoother to read, had a stronger story, and was easier for the average person to immerse themselves in.

It has to be said.

The system (reader) is quite considerate with this arrangement.

If you directly take out the original “Journey to the West”, it would be almost impossible to please everyone, because the reading threshold is a bit high. Not everyone has enough classical Chinese knowledge to fully grasp the rhythm.

In contrast.

The modern version of the text is more in line with everyone’s reading habits.

Moreover, the so-called modern version still leans towards the classical style, so it’s very comfortable to read, with a bit of traditional Xianxia novel feel, and the dialogues are also sort of classical, as if finding a balance between classical and modern novels.

It also contains some adaptations.

It added some of the later interpretations of the Journey to the West.

Therefore, the entire novel’s story has been enhanced and elevated.

For instance, when Lin Yuan read the opening scene of Sun Wukong making havoc in the Heavenly Palace in the modern version, he was extremely captivated.

“Write both versions.”

After all, the length of Journey to the West is not long, the whole text is only about 800,000 to 900,000 words.

Writing both would be less than 2 million words.

For an author like Lin Yuan who writes at an “eagle speed”, this was not a problem.

Having made up his mind.

Lin Yuan began to write.

He did not focus on writing one version but wrote both versions side by side.

He would write the first chapter of the classical version, then write the first chapter of the modern version.

Writing in this manner, Lin Yuan had a fascinating feeling, as if his entire understanding of the Journey to the West had deepened.

…

At the same time as writing “Journey to the West,” Lin Yuan also made time to bring out a new script.

This script was prepared for Yi Chenggong.

Yi Chenggong’s execution ability was strong so under conditions of not high camera difficulty, he could implement Lin Yuan’s script intentions well.

So…

The script that Lin Yuan eventually prepared for Yi Chenggong was called “Truman’s World”!

This was a movie that wasn’t costly to produce, but was absolutely exploding with creativity –

The protagonist of the film was named Truman.

From birth, he became the lead of a popular reality show.

Countless viewers watched his “life”.

Everything that happened around him was fake.

His family and friends were all actors.

But he knew nothing about it.

Truman’s life was clearly arranged by the scripts of the reality show’s director.

The turning point of the story was Truman wanting to break free and explore, which would inevitably wrest control away from the show’s control over his life.

The people around him were all trying to stop him.

And in the midst of people stopping him, he sensed that something was amiss…

In terms of the quality of the script, this film was no weaker than “Life of Pi”!

Lin Yuan believed that with Yi Chenggong’s execution skills, handling this movie would not be difficult.

The similarity between these two films is that they both have the attributes of an artistic film.

Indeed, making commercial films is more profitable.

The revenue from “Spiderman”, which has already been released, is not small.

But for gaining Prestige Value, artistic films are more powerful, so Lin Yuan prepared two artistic films at one go.

After these two films are released, Lin Yuan will consider continuing filming commercial films.

One must strive for both money and prestige.

After handing over the completed script to Yi Chenggong, Lin Yuan does not continue to manage the rest.

He came to the crew of “Our Song”.

Lin Yuan doesn’t have to compete today, so he only makes an appearance in the drawing of lots at the end of the program, like a bit player.

However…

When Lin Yuan appeared on the live broadcast, the chatbox of the program instantly got lively:

“Fish Papa is here!”

“Hold down Wei Haoyun quick!”

“In the next round, Xian Yu and Wei Haoyun can’t team up again!”

“The two of them together are just an aural nightmare!”

“No square dance, nor ‘Good Luck comes’!”

“Anyone can partner with Fish Papa, just not Wei Haoyun!”

“Some kind-hearted composer, come and take Wei Haoyun away!”

“…”

The camera focuses on Wei Haoyun’s face.

Wei Haoyun’s face shows eager anticipation.

But Lin Yuan’s face was as calm as always.

Then.

The composers took turns to draw lots.

When it was Xian Yu’s turn, countless viewers in front of the screen held their breath subconsciously —

Please don’t let it be Wei Haoyun again!

At last.

Lin Yuan drew his lot.

For a moment, all the singers turned to look at the card in Lin Yuan’s hand.

Simultaneously with this.

The audience also had their eyes wide open.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lin Yuan lit up the name on the card.

“Ah, this …”

The audience was stunned.

The singers were also dumbfounded.

Even the composers showed strange expressions.

It’s not because Xian Yu drew Wei Haoyun. He didn’t draw Wei Haoyun this time; he drew —

Fei Yang!

King Fei!

After a few seconds, both the live venue and the broadcast room erupted together, with many people laughing out loud:

“Isn’t this a coincidence?”

“What kind of divine collaboration is this!”

“Fish Papa drew the perennial runner-up!”

“The person who made Fei Yang the perennial runner-up several times is going to collaborate with him!”

“22222222!!!”

“Is this show really unscripted?”

“Even if it is scripted, I accept it, this arrangement is epic!”

“I’ve always imagined this scene during each draw, and today my dream came true!”

“…”

Fei Yang, the perennial runner-up, owes it all to Xian Yu.

Including the previous “The Masked Singer”, Fei Yang lost to the Prince of Lanling, Xian Yu, as the Overlord.

And now.

The perennial runner-up is actually going to collaborate with Xian Yu!

How refreshing!

Delightful to hear and see!

Exciting news for everyone!

The camera then focuses on Fei Yang’s face.

Fei Yang’s face is full of astonishment at the moment, he was stunned. The confusion and blankness in his eyes were felt by the audience even through the screen…

No one knows what Fei Yang is thinking at the moment.

But Fei Yang’s stunned expression is making the audience extremely excited:

This pair is too interesting!

Will Xian Yu continue to take first place, remove the ‘Perennial Runner-up’ label that he bestowed on Fei Yang himself; acting out a case of the bell tolling for the one who tied it;

Or will Fei Yang continue to take second place, using his strength to prove just how strong the will to be second is?
