Yue Qun and Guan Yingzhen did not watch every Yue Guan play.
In fact, they are not part of Yue Guan's core audience. They have never watched Yue Guan's highest-grossing movie "Pure Heart: Dream Chaser".
That subject matter is inherently not to their liking.
However, "Journey to the West" was broadcast, and the two of them together with Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan in the hotel contributed to the ratings of the show.
This is the charm of Sun Wukong.
You can't accept it.
Even if Jiao Enjun single-handedly saved Yang Jian a lot of publicity and attracted a large number of fans, if you let Yang Jian compete with Sun Wukong, most people in the Dragon Kingdom would side with Sun Wukong.
Although the Monkey King in "Journey to the West" was not played by Teacher Six.
Facts have proved that it is the image of Sun Wukong that is attractive, not the person of Teacher Six.
Although Guan Yingzhen still regretfully asked Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, you want to film "Journey to the West", why don't you find Teacher Six? He is my idol."
"Looking for it, Teacher Six didn't answer. He doesn't like my petty drama."
"He doesn't even like your play?" Guan Yingzhen changed his face in a second: "Is he an old fool? He actually rejected my son."
Reality in the world.
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 stuntman for Teacher Six back then. The action scenes of Sun Wukong you watched were all done by Teacher Ding Jian. Let him act. There is not much difference between playing Sun Wukong and being played by Teacher Six."
Netizens have basically known these things for a long time. When Ding Jian was cast as Sun Wukong, Yue Guan and Mo Xiangwan had already decided to bundle Ding Jian and Sixth Teacher together for publicity.
It turns out, it works very well.
The vast majority of netizens expressed their expectations for Ding Jian's Monkey King.
Guan Yingzhen had never seen such news, but after hearing what Mo Xiangwan said, she also expressed interest: "I thought the Monkey King was played by Teacher Six alone, but the action scenes were all played by another person. Act?"
"Many people have the same idea as you, but the original Sun Wukong drama was divided into literary drama and martial arts drama. The literary drama was basically performed by Teacher Six, and the martial arts drama was basically performed by Ding Jian, but few audiences knew Ding Jian. At that time, Actors are really bad at publicity.”
Mo Xiangwan was very emotional when he said this.
She actually didn't spend much money promoting Ding Jian.
But within a week of publicity, Ding Jian's popularity increased more than tenfold.
Marketing and hype is a derogatory term in the eyes of many people, but for an old actor like Ding Jian, if you don't help him with marketing and hype, the vast majority of the audience will not even know that he exists as an actor.
From this perspective, marketing hype has value. Of course, the premise is that the marketing hype cannot be overturned.
Ding Jian does have the goods and his qualifications are real. Mo Xiangwan’s marketing is to show his resume to let the audience know that there is such an awesome person, and then touch upon Mr. Liu to shape him One-third of the credit for the classic image of Sun Wukong goes to Ding Jian.
Faced with this kind of marketing, Teacher Six couldn't refute it, otherwise he would definitely suffer the loss. After all, Ding Jian was indeed his stand-in at the beginning, and what Mo Xiangwan marketed was all true.
Since it is a fact, I am not afraid that Teacher Six will come out to rip it off. If Teacher Sixth really dares to stand up and rip it off, Mo Xiangwan will be pleasantly surprised, and it will be a good use of the topic.
There is a big difference between this kind of marketing method and that kind of marketing method that dares to market the character of a master after answering a binary linear equation, or the marketing method that clearly insists on saying that it has never marketed and insists on the character of being a straw man and as pale as a chrysanthemum. difference.
Comparing the two, it is obvious what a professional agent is and what a marketing team is.
Most of the time, netizens actually understand that celebrities want publicity, as long as you don't insult their intelligence.
Guan Yingzhen and Yue Qun obviously understood.
Yue Qun even said with emotion: "Today's society is developing too fast. If I didn't go out to play often, I wouldn't be able to learn many things. For people of our generation, many times they cannot adapt to this rapidly developing new world. of the times. If an actor like Ding Jian had not met you, I am afraid he would have continued to be buried."
"Okay, dad, don't be sad about the spring and autumn. "Journey to the West" has started airing. Let's watch TV."
The first episode of "Journey to the West" closely follows the plot of "Journey to the West" and tells what happened after the four people who learned the scriptures arrived at Lingshan.
But the plot of the first episode made the audience strongly dislike Lingshan.
Because Lingshan's attitude towards the four people who learned from the scriptures was very unfriendly.
This is not really Yue Guan's intention to black Ling Mountain, because in the original work of "Journey to the West", when the four Buddhist monks arrived at Ling Mountain, the people on Ling Mountain asked Tang Monk for bribes, and the food looked ugly.
In the script of "Journey to the West", Yue Guan magnified this ugly face again.
A group of four people who have learned from each other, each of them has a sinecure and does not have any real power.
Sun Wukong refused to accept it and wanted to reason, but was stopped by Tang Seng.
The four scripture-seeking groups completed their journey to the West and brought the scriptures back to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin held a special banquet to celebrate their achievements.
This Li Shimin was a guest appearance by teacher Tang Guoqiang, and Yue Guan pulled him in with just one sentence.
"Journey to the West", although the leading actor is not well-known, the guest stars are all very famous.
At the banquet, someone came to report that the Longquan Sword of Jinghe Dragon King, the uncle of Xiao Bailong who was killed by the court, suddenly disappeared. Li Shimin asked Sun Wukong to look for it. Sun Wukong checked and found the Jade Emperor.
Sun Wukong wanted to go to heaven to confront the Jade Emperor, but Tathagata dissuaded him from intervening, saying that the matter involved the Jade Emperor's wrong judgment. If the truth was revealed, it would make the Jade Emperor lose face, and make Sun Wukong's big matter become a trivial matter.
Of course Sun Wukong did not accept this proposal, and immediately became furious and waved the golden cudgel directly at Kasyapa and Ananda sent by Tathagata.
But within two blows, the golden cudgel was confiscated by Tathagata, and then Tathagata and his party returned to Lingshan without giving any explanation to Sun Wukong.
I wanted you to come to the West to learn scriptures in the first place, so I treated you better.
Now that he has finished taking the scriptures, Sun Wukong has lost a lot of value to Lingshan. The current situation of people who cross rivers and demolish bridges and take tea is vividly shown.
This plot is actually the original plot of "Journey to the West", with very few changes made by Yue Guan.
Until now, Yue Guan has really not deliberately discredited Lingshan.
Even so, the shaping of the Lingshan series also caused discomfort to Guan Yingzhen and Yue Qun.
Guan Yingzhen frowned and said: "Why does this Lingshan look like this? His face is too ugly, and there is 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 Sun Wukong and the others was not very good, especially After they arrived at Lingshan, they repeatedly made things difficult for them. Although there is a saying that it is necessary to make up for the eighty-one difficulties, the eating scene is really ugly, and the TV series is shot like this, which is not outrageous. But didn't you play Yue Guan, the Jade Emperor? "
"right."
"Then why did you set up the Jade Emperor as the mastermind again? You won't play the villain in this drama, right?"
Yue Guan smiled: "Of course not. Dad, just keep looking down."
What they just watched 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 Wude Xingjun of Heavenly Court was rampant and was beaten up by Xiao Bailong. Wude Xingjun came to Xihai Dragon Palace to raise an army to question the crime. Xiao Bailong's father, Xihai Dragon King Ao Qin, surrendered. Xiao Bailong was angry and defected to his uncle Jinghe Dragon King.
Wude Xingjun forged the Jade Emperor's decree and killed the Dragon King of Jinghe River, leaving his resentful spirit lingering for a long time.
After Sun Wukong found out the truth, he led Tang Monk Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk Xiao Bailong and a group of people directly to the Lingxiao Palace to expose Wude Xingjun's conspiracy.
Sun Wukong thought that Lord Wude Xing would be beheaded, but he thought too much.
Wude Xingjun was only criticized a few words by the Jade Emperor played by Yue Guan, and then he lifted it high and put it down gently.
As for the Dragon King of Jinghe, the Jade Emperor decreed that his name should be restored, redressing his grievances and allowing him to get justice that was long overdue.
Everyone seemed happy.
But Sun Wukong was Sun Wukong. He was not satisfied with the Jade Emperor's treatment of Wude Xingjun, and pointed it out in public.
Sun Wukong was so disrespectful to the Jade Emperor that the immortals in heaven were as silent as cicadas, and no one dared to speak out.
The Jade Emperor also looked tense and waved the immortals to retreat, leaving only Sun Wukong alone.
To be precise, a monkey.
Then, the Jade Emperor coughed twice, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Sun Wukong was shocked: "Your Majesty, are you injured?"
The Jade Emperor said calmly: "It doesn't matter, Fighting Victory Buddha, are you wondering why I am so indulgent to Wude Xingjun?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the evidence of Lord Wude Xing's crime is conclusive, and he himself has confessed his guilt. If he is not punished severely, how can he be worthy of the Dragon King of Jinghe?"
Looking at the righteous Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor suddenly smiled: "Dou Zhan Buddha, did you encounter any obstacles in the process of investigating the case?"
Sun Wukong's heart moved, and he thought of Tathagata Buddha himself taking action to stop him.
And when he went to the underworld to investigate the case, he was attacked by surprise.
If Tang Monk Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk Xiao Bailong hadn't arrived quickly, he might have capsized in the sewers of the underworld without his golden cudgel.
No, even with the golden cudgel, he might still capsize in the ditch.
He once made a big fuss in the underworld, knowing that there was nothing the devils could do against him.
There is only one Bodhisattva who can make him feel danger - Ksitigarbha.
"It seems that Dou Victorious Buddha has remembered something. Victorious Buddha, you are no longer the lawless monkey you used to be. You should know that although I am the supreme being of the three realms and in charge of the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is not under my control."
Sun Wukong's pupils narrowed.
He is a spiritually intelligent stone monkey. He is extremely intelligent and knows everything about everything.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was deliberately placed in the underworld by Lingshan. With Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva here, the operation of the underworld will not obey the orders of heaven, but Lingshan has the final say."
Sun Wukong said these words, and the Jade Emperor remained silent.
This also represents the default.
Sun Wukong took a breath of cold air.
"The three realms of heaven, earth and man, the underworld is under the control of Lingshan. This world - Buddhism is also flourishing."
The Jade Emperor said lightly: "Speaking of which, thanks to the Victorious Buddha and his trip to the West to obtain scriptures, countless mortals have become devout believers in Lingshan."
Sun Wukong's expression completely changed.
The look he looked at the Jade Emperor was completely different from before.
As the main force in the pilgrimage to the West, he naturally knew how much faith Lingshan had gained during their journey to the West.
It is no exaggeration to say that now, it is not Heaven that has the final say between the underworld and the human world, but Lingshan.
Even in name, Lingshan is just an affiliated institution of Heavenly Court.
"In other words, only Heaven is still under your Majesty's control?" Sun Wukong asked.
A sarcastic smile appeared on the Jade Emperor's lips: "Tathagata Buddha is one of the five elders of the five directions, and his qualifications in heaven are no less than those of me. Sheng Buddha, do you think my will is so easy to forge? The star king of heaven committed something, The immortals in heaven did not stop you from investigating the case, but the Buddha and Bodhisattva in Lingshan stood up for the Star King in heaven. What does this mean?"
Sun Wukong's voice was a little difficult: "This means... Heaven has also been invaded by Lingshan."
"So, do you understand now why I don't deal with Wude Xingjun? I don't want to, but I 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 reacted.
Now Sun Wukong is no longer the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace before.
After experiencing severe beatings on the way to learn the scriptures, Sun Wukong already understood the power of Heaven, and he also understood that the Emperor of Heaven who could control the immortals would definitely not be an incompetent person who could be scared by him.
Among the three realms, who can injure the Emperor of Heaven
Sun Wukong can only think of one person.
"Your Majesty, are you injured?"
The Jade Emperor said lightly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, Shengfo, go back to Huaguo Mountain. Heaven is not suitable for you, and Lingshan is not suitable for you. You are a sharp knife, don't be held by others anymore." "
Sun Wukong was silent for a long time, and then saluted the Jade Emperor: "Thank you for your advice, Wukong understands."
Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain.
Whether it is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven or the Victorious Buddha, they are all empty names in the past.
He just wants to be the simplest Monkey King he was before.
No matter the chaos in the three realms.
After Sun Wukong left, the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace looked to the west and said calmly: "Martial virtue cannot be kept."
This ends the second episode.
After reading it, Yue Qun and Guan Yingzhen looked at each other.
Starting 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 a big impact on them.
"Yue Guan, this drama is really... really..."
Yue Qun added what Guan Yingzhen didn't say: "It's really subversive, and the amount of information is too much. Who does Wude Xingjun belong to?"
Yue Guan smiled: "Let the audience discuss this issue themselves."
