Chapter 121
I don't know if it was the good luck brought by Yuan Xiaoliu, but the subsequent actor recruitment became more and more smooth.
Not only did he find the actor for Zhu Bajie, he also found the actor for Sha Seng, and by the way, he also found a Buddhist disciple with a dead face.
In this way, the main cast was basically finalized, and Lin Ye was not in a hurry for the remaining actors.
Because according to his idea, he did not plan to wait until all the shots were finished before uploading, but planned to shoot and release one episode at a time.
Not only did he plan to do this for Journey to the West, he also planned to follow this model for subsequent TV series.
So after the main actors were recruited, he immediately started the second important task - publicity and preheating.
Although Journey to the West is a hot IP, TV series are still new things after all, and necessary publicity is still necessary.
And his publicity method is also very simple, that is, to release the actors' makeup photos.
Inside the Four Seas Pavilion, with the joint efforts of the disciples of Fenyan Valley and the disciples of the Ca Nu Sect, a set of gorgeous armor was delivered to Lin Ye in just half a day.
Chainmail gold armor, phoenix-wing purple gold crown, lotus silk cloud-walking shoes, the same combination as in the TV series in the previous life.
In addition to the superb craftsmanship of Fenyan Valley and the Cainu Sect, the whole set of armor is far more exquisite and gorgeous than the one in the TV series in the previous life.
Although it is only a low-grade magic weapon in terms of quality, Lin Ye couldn't help but shine his eyes when he saw it.
"Cool! It's so cool! If I had such a set in the previous life, others would be envious."
"This is simply a work of art, but it's a pity that the size is not suitable, otherwise I would have to wear it." As he said this, Lin Ye touched the armor in front of him with a face full of affection.
"Young master, this is the golden hoop you asked for. It has no other functions, it can only be enlarged or reduced." At this time, the ghost servant No. 1 next to him reached out and took out a small toothpick from his ear, and turned it into a golden hoop in front of Lin Ye.
Like the armor, this golden hoop is also 100% restored, with first-class texture and feel.
"Not bad, go call Yuan Xiaoliu and the others over."
"Okay!"
A few minutes later, several actors including Yuan Xiaoliu were brought to Lin Ye.
The other actors were Zhu Tiangang from the pig demon clan, Liu Sha, a foundation-building cultivator from the human race, and Jiang Liu, a Buddhist cultivator from the White Horse Zen Temple in the Western Regions.
Zhu Tiangang has a huge wild boar head and a ferocious face, which is simply a replica of Zhu Bajie in the original book.
Liu Sha has a beard, a rough face, a dull expression, and looks very honest.
Jiang Liu is delicate, soft, and speaks slowly.
It is precisely because Lin Ye took a fancy to their appearance and temperament that he chose them as the protagonists of Journey to the West.
After being brought to Lin Ye, the faces of the four people were obviously a little cramped.
"Director, what do you want to talk to us about?" Yuan Xiaoliu asked first.
Hearing his question, the other people also cast curious eyes, and Lin Ye directly pointed to the armor and golden hoop on the table.
"Try it on."
Following the direction pointed by Lin Ye, Yuan Xiaoliu immediately saw the handsome armor on the table, and his eyes immediately lit up, and then he put on the full set of armor without saying a word.
The moment he picked up the golden hoop from the table, he instantly became the focus of the audience, and Lin Ye shouted three times.
"Good, good, good!"
"The Monkey King Sun Wukong should be like this, play with the stick in your hand!"
As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, Yuan Xiaoliu nodded.
The next second, he played the golden hoop in his hand in front of everyone present. Lin Ye praised Yuan Xiaoliu's various stick techniques. He had already thought about how much response the release of the makeup photos of Sun Wukong would cause.
When Yuan Xiaoliu finished his stick technique, Lin Ye asked Zhu Tiangang and the other three to change into their own clothes.
When the four people appeared at the same time as characters in Journey to the West, Lin Ye knew that this Journey to the West would definitely become the most classic TV series in Tianyuan Continent and the childhood memory of countless underage cultivators.
He immediately took out his mobile phone, took a photo of each of the four people and took a group photo.
After a simple processing, he used the official account of the Journey to the West TV series that he had just registered to post the makeup photos of several people and the promotional posters of Journey to the West on Douyin, and at the same time used his own authority to increase the popularity.
Without any surprise, after only half an hour, this Douyin quickly became popular, attracting countless netizens to watch, and the comment area was directlyExplosion.
"What! Journey to the West is going to be made into a TV series! Is this true or false?"
"Oh my god! This Monkey King is so handsome, exactly like what I imagined."
"What is a TV series?"
"You don't even know a TV series, but you know short videos. TV series are just extended short videos."
"I'm looking forward to it. I've watched the text version of Journey to the West several times. I can't imagine how exciting the stories in Journey to the West would be if they were interpreted in the form of videos."
"I just saw Sihai Pavilion recruiting this morning." Recruiting actors for Journey to the West, I didn't expect that they were chosen so quickly. I also have a friend who went to the crew of Journey to the West as an extra. I heard that he played the monkey in Huaguo Mountain. "
"Playing a monkey? That's too unpromising."
"Sorry, the pay for playing a monkey is 50 Lingshi a day."
"Damn! Are you still short of monkeys? I want to play one too."
"When will it be filmed? I want to see it."
......
At once, a large number of cultivators were full of expectations for the TV version of Journey to the West, which really became popular before it was broadcast.
Seeing the popularity of the TV series Journey to the West, Lin Ye struck while the iron was hot and took the fledgling crew to start filming around the Giant Whale City.
As a coastal city, the surrounding islands are naturally indispensable. After searching for a while, Lin Ye found a beautiful island with birds singing and flowers blooming.
The island has dense vegetation and many jungles. The most important thing is that there is a pool in the middle of the island, and there is a waterfall above the pool.
Although there is no cave behind the waterfall, it is not important.
"Go, dig a hole behind the waterfall for me."
"Ah? Oh."
Lin Ye gave an order, and Ghost Servant No. 1 immediately flew to the front of the waterfall, and punched a huge and deep cave on the cliff behind the waterfall.
The crew was stunned.
After just a few minutes, the Water Curtain Cave was completed.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the crew behind him and picked up the loudspeaker.
"All personnel in place."
As soon as these words came out, the thousands of crew members who came to this deserted island with him went to their respective positions according to the previous division of labor.
The cameraman carried the camera, and the extras put on their own leather suits. At the beginning, they were a little uncomfortable, but soon they felt that it seemed to be quite fun, climbing trees and catching lice.
There was even an extra who played a monkey who took out his phone and took a selfie for himself, and uploaded it to TikTok, with the caption: My diary on the set, being an extra is so much fun, a hundred times more fun than practicing.
He had just posted the TikTok when a loud shout came from behind him.
"Extras over there, don't play with your phone while filming!"
He was immediately frightened when he heard this.
At the same time, Lin Ye's voice came from not far away.
"The first episode of Journey to the West, the Monkey King is born, and the filming officially begins!"
