I'm just an actor

Chapter 397 The Truth About Learning from the West

Yue Qun and Guan Yingzhen didn't watch all of Yue Guan's plays.

They are not actually part of the core audience of Yueguan. The two of them have never watched Yueguan's highest-grossing "Pure Heart Dream Chasing Wheel of Peace".

That subject matter was not to their liking innately.

However, "Journey to the West" was broadcast, and the two contributed to the ratings of the show together with Yue Guan Mo Xiangwan in the hotel.

This is the charm of Sun Wukong.

You can't accept it.

Even if Jiao Enjun single-handedly helped Yang Jian save a lot of reviews and made a big wave of fans, but if you let Yang Jian compete with Monkey King, most people in the whole Dragon Kingdom will stand for Monkey King.

Although the Monkey King in "Journey to the West" was not played by the sixth teacher.

Facts have proved that it is the image of Monkey King that is attractive, not Teacher Liu.

Although Guan Yingzhen still regretfully asked Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, you want to shoot "Journey to the West", why didn't you find Mr. Six? He is my idol."

"I've found it. Sixth teacher won't answer it. He doesn't like my small drama."

"He doesn't even like your play?" Guan Yingzhen changed his face in a second: "Is he old-fashioned? He actually rejected my son."

The world is real.

An idol is nothing compared to a son.

Yue Guan smiled, and Mo Xiangwan took the initiative to explain: "Auntie, in fact, Teacher Ding Jian was the stand-in actor for the sixth teacher back then. The action scenes of Monkey King you watched back then were all done by Teacher Ding Jian. Let him act There is not much difference between Sun Wukong and Teacher Six."

Netizens have known these things for a long time. When Ding Jian was used to play Monkey King, Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan had already decided to tie Ding Jian and Sixth Teacher together for publicity.

It turns out that works well.

The vast majority of netizens are looking forward to Ding Jian's Monkey King.

Guan Yingzhen had never seen this kind of news, but after hearing what Mo Xiangwan said, she was also very interested: "I thought that the Monkey King was played by Mr. Six alone, and the action scenes were all played by another person." Act?"

"Many people have the same idea as you, but at the beginning, Sun Wukong's dramas were divided into literary dramas and martial arts dramas. The literary dramas were basically performed by Mr. Liu, and the martial arts dramas were basically performed by Ding Jian, but few audiences knew about Ding Jian. At that time Actors really don’t know how to advertise.”

When Mo Xiangwan said this, he was very emotional.

It didn't cost her much to promote Ding Jian.

But in less than a week of publicity, Ding Jian's popularity skyrocketed by more than ten times.

Marketing hype is a derogatory term in the eyes of many people, but if an old actor like Ding Jian does not help him with marketing hype, most audiences will not even know that he is an actor.

From this perspective, marketing hype has value, of course, the premise is that the marketing hype cannot be overturned.

Ding Jian really has the goods himself, and his qualifications are real. Mo Xiangwan's marketing is to show his resume, let the audience know that there is such a great person, and then touch Mr. Six again to shape One-third of the credit for the classic Monkey King image goes to Ding Jian.

Faced with this kind of marketing, Teacher Six couldn't refute it, otherwise he must be the one who suffered. After all, Ding Jian was indeed his substitute at the beginning, and Mo Xiangwan's marketing was all true.

Since it's a fact, I'm not afraid that Sixth Teacher will come out to tear it up. If Sixth Teacher really dares to stand up and tear it up, Mo Xiangwan will be pleasantly surprised, and it's just a matter of making use of it.

There is a big difference between this kind of marketing method and the kind of marketing method that dares to set up a marketing master after answering a binary equation, or the marketing method that clearly expresses that he has never marketed and must fuck people. difference.

Comparing the two, it is obvious what is a professional broker and what is a hip-pull marketing team.

Most of the time, netizens can actually understand that celebrities want to promote, as long as you don't insult their IQ.

Guan Yingzhen and Yue Qun clearly understood.

Yue Qun even said with emotion: "The current society is developing too fast. If I didn't often go out to play, I wouldn't be able to learn many things. For people of our generation, many times it is impossible to adapt to this new era of rapid development. The times. If actors like Ding Jian hadn’t met you, I’m afraid they would have continued to be buried.”

"Okay, Dad, don't worry about the spring and autumn, "Journey to the West" is on the air, let's watch TV."

The first episode of "Journey to the West" is closely following the plot of "Journey to the West", and it is about what happened after the quartet of Buddhist scriptures arrived at Lingshan.

But the plot of the first episode made the audience feel strongly against Lingshan.

Because Lingshan's attitude towards the quartet of Buddhist scriptures is very unfriendly.

This is really not the case that Yueguan deliberately blacked out Lingshan, because in the original "Journey to the West", when the four-person group of Buddhist scriptures arrived at Lingshan, the people on Lingshan asked Tang Seng for bribes, and the food was ugly.

In the script of "Journey to the West", Yue Guan magnified this ugly face again.

In the group of four who learned from the scriptures, everyone was hired as a casual job without any real power.

Sun Wukong refused to accept it and wanted to make a theory, but was stopped by Tang Seng.

After the four-person group of Buddhist scriptures learned from the West, they brought the scriptures back to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin specially set up a feast to celebrate their achievements.

This Li Shimin was guest starred by Mr. Tang Guoqiang, and Yue Guan drew him here with a single word.

"Journey to the West", although the leading role is not well-known, but the guest stars are all big.

At the banquet, someone came to report that the Longquan sword of Jinghe Dragon King, the uncle who was beheaded by the imperial court, suddenly disappeared. Li Shimin asked Sun Wukong to find it, and Sun Wukong searched and searched, and found the head of the Jade Emperor.

Sun Wukong wanted to go to the Heavenly Court to confront the Jade Emperor, but was dissuaded by Tathagata to intervene, claiming that the matter involved the Jade Emperor's wrong judgment. If the truth were revealed, the Jade Emperor would lose face and Sun Wukong would turn a major incident into a trivial matter.

Of course Sun Wukong did not accept this proposal, and immediately became furious, and directly waved the golden cudgel at Kasyapa and Ananda sent by Tathagata.

But within two hits, the golden cudgel was confiscated by Tathagata, and then Tathagata and his party returned to Lingshan without any explanation to Monkey King.

Back then, I asked you to come to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, so I treated you better.

Now that the scriptures have been learned, Sun Wukong has lost a lot of value to Lingshan, and the current situation of people crossing rivers and demolishing bridges to drink tea is vividly expressed.

This wave of plot is actually the original plot of "Journey to the West" and Yueguan has changed very little.

Until now, Yueguan really didn't deliberately discredit Lingshan.

Even so, the shaping of the Lingshan series also caused discomfort for Guan Yingzhen and Yue Qun.

Guan Yingzhen frowned and said, "Why does this Lingshan look like this? The face is too ugly, and there is also this Tathagata Buddha."

Yue Qun was much calmer than Guan Yingzhen. He recalled the plot of the original work, and then said: "This arrangement is reasonable. In fact, in the original work of "Journey to the West", the attitude of the Lingshan people towards Monkey King and the others is not very good, especially It was they who made things difficult for them after they arrived at Lingshan Mountain. Although there are claims to make up for the 81 difficulties, the eating looks are really ugly, and the TV series is filmed like this, which is not outrageous. But Yueguan, didn’t you play the Jade Emperor yourself?"

"Correct."

"Then why did you set the Jade Emperor as the mastermind again? You won't be playing the villain in this drama, right?"

Yue Guan smiled: "Of course not, Dad, just keep looking down."

What they watched just now was the plot of the first episode of "Journey to the West".

In the second episode, the plot revealed the truth.

It turned out that the son of Wu De Xingjun in the Heavenly Court ran amok and was beaten by Xiaobailong. Wude Xingjun came to the Xihai Dragon Palace to ask his teacher for his punishment.

Wude Xingjun forged the will of the Jade Emperor and beheaded the Dragon King of Jinghe, and his grievances lingered for a long time.

After finding out the truth, Monkey King led a group of people including Tang Seng Zhu Bajie, Drifting Monk Xiaobailong, to the Lingxiao Temple, and exposed the plot of Wude Xingjun.

Sun Wukong thought that Wu De Xingjun would be executed, but he thought too much.

Wu De Xingjun was only reprimanded by the Jade Emperor played by Yue Guan, then he raised it high and put it down gently.

As for the Dragon King of Jinghe, the Jade Emperor decreed to restore his innocence, help him redress his grievances, and let him get justice that was overdue.

Everyone looks happy.

But Sun Wukong is Sun Wukong, he was not satisfied with Jade Emperor Hui Wude Xingjun's disposition, and pointed it out in public.

Sun Wukong didn't give the Jade Emperor face so much, the heavenly court and all the immortals were as silent as a cicada, and no one dared to speak out.

The Jade Emperor also looked tense, and waved his hand to let all the immortals retreat, leaving Monkey King alone.

To be precise, it's a monkey.

Then, the Jade Emperor coughed twice, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Monkey King was shocked: "Your Majesty, are you injured?"

The Jade Emperor said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, fight against the Buddha, don't you wonder why the widow would be so indulgent to Wu De Xingjun?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Wu Dexing's crimes are conclusive, and he himself has pleaded guilty. If he is not severely punished, how can he be worthy of Jinghe Dragon King?"

Looking at Sun Wukong who spoke righteously, the Jade Emperor suddenly smiled: "Dou defeated Buddha, did you encounter any obstacles in the process of investigating the case?"

Sun Wukong's heart moved, thinking of Tathagata Buddha himself to stop himself.

And the fact that he was attacked in the process of going to the underworld to investigate the case.

If Tang Monk Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk Xiaobailong hadn't come so quickly, he might really capsize in the gutter of the underworld after losing his golden cudgel.

No, even with a golden cudgel, he might capsize in the gutter.

He used to make a big fuss in the underworld, knowing that the idle ghosts in the underworld would have nothing to do with him.

There is one and only one Bodhisattva who can make him feel the danger—Ksitigarbha.

"It seems that Dou Zhanfo has already remembered something, Shengfo, you are no longer the lawless and violent monkey you used to be, you should know that although I am the supreme being of the three realms and in charge of the nether world, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva——is not under my control. "

Sun Wukong's pupils shrunk.

He is a spirit stone monkey, he is extremely intelligent, and he can see through a little bit.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was deliberately placed in the underworld by Lingshan. With Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the operation of the underworld will not follow the orders of the heavens, but Lingshan has the final say."

Sun Wukong said these words, but the Jade Emperor remained silent.

This also means the default.

Sun Wukong gasped.

"The three worlds of heaven, earth and man, the underworld is under the control of Lingshan, this world——is also the prosperity of Buddhism."

The Jade Emperor said indifferently: "Speaking of which, it is thanks to Dou Victory Buddha. A trip to the west to learn scriptures has made countless mortals become devout believers in Lingshan."

Sun Wukong's face changed completely.

The way he looked at the Jade Emperor was completely different from before.

As the main force in the journey to the West, he naturally knows how much faith Lingshan has harvested during their journey to the West.

It is no exaggeration to say that now the underworld and the human world are no longer dictated by the heavens, but by Lingshan.

Even in name, Lingshan is just a subsidiary organization of the Heavenly Court.

"In other words, only Heaven is still under His Majesty's control?" Sun Wukong asked.

The corner of the Jade Emperor's mouth curled up into a mocking smile: "The Tathagata Buddha is one of the five elders, and his qualifications in the heavenly court are no less than that of the widow. Sheng Buddha, do you think the will of the widow is so easy to forge? The immortals of the Heavenly Court did not intervene to stop you from investigating the case, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan stood up for the Star King of the Heavenly Court, what does this mean?"

Sun Wukong's voice was a bit difficult: "This means... Heavenly Court has also been invaded by Lingshan."

"So, now you understand why the widow doesn't deal with Wude Xingjun, right? If you don't want to, you really can't."

After saying this, the Jade Emperor coughed up another mouthful of blood.

Seeing the Jade Emperor coughing up blood, Sun Wukong was so blessed that he finally came to his senses.

The current Monkey King is no longer the Monkey King who was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

After experiencing the severe beating on the way to learn scriptures, Monkey King has already understood the power of the Heavenly Court, and he also understands that the Heavenly Emperor who can control the immortals will definitely not be an incompetent person who can be frightened by him.

Among the Three Realms, who can injure the Emperor of Heaven?

Monkey King can only think of one person.

"Your Majesty, your injury?"

The Jade Emperor said lightly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't, Sheng Buddha, go back to Huaguo Mountain, Heaven is not for you, and Lingshan is not for you either. You are a sharp knife, don't be held by others. "

Monkey King was silent for a long time, and then made a big gift to the Jade Emperor: "Thank you for your guidance, Monkey King understands."

Monkey King returned to Huaguo Mountain.

Whether it is the Monkey King or the battle against the Buddha, they are all false names in the past.

He just wanted to be the most innocent Monkey King back then.

Regardless of the turmoil of the three realms.

After Sun Wukong left, the Jade Emperor of Lingxiao Palace glanced to the west and said lightly: "Wu De, I can't stay anymore."

This concludes the second episode.

After Yue Qun and Guan Yingzhen finished watching, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

From the second episode, although "Journey to the West" has not yet broken away from the shackles of "Journey to the West", it can already be regarded as a new story.

It's just that this new story has a bit of an impact on them.

"Yueguan, this drama is really...really..."
