1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 242 Leng Erlang accidentally enters the Kingdom of Women
The next summer, a group of them went to He Garden to watch the crew of Journey to the West filming "The Kingdom of Women", which is basically the last content of "Journey to the West".

Although Journey to the West has eighty-one difficulties, they started filming early and quickly, and after filming this last difficulty, it was completely over.

The rest is all post-production work.

Before coming to Yangzhou, Xia Tian talked to Li Chengru on the phone, and he sounded a little confused - he didn't know what he would do after the filming ended.

Speaking of which, I've had enough of being a stage manager for the past three years!

"Tian'er, let me tell you, now whenever I see a beautiful woman I get a rash all over my body! I'm allergic!"

"I have been so busy in the past three years that my hair has fallen out in clumps. It is so tiring! The only time I was really happy was when I played Xiao Zuanfeng. I still like acting!"

"But seeing your friends' supermarkets are doing so well, and the money they make is flowing into their pockets like water, it would be a lie to say I'm not envious!"

In fact, Director Yang had already arranged a way out for Li Chengru - after the filming of Journey to the West was completed, he would join CCTV as a behind-the-scenes worker.

However, with his current mentality, he may not be satisfied - he likes acting, but there are no roles, and there is no way to make money by working now!
Xia Tian heard it, and he was beginning to feel restless with the desire to make a fortune!

……

When we arrived at He Garden, we found that this Yangzhou garden was so exquisite, with rockery, flowing water, flowers and trees, and a new scene at every step. There was basically no vacant space.

It's not like the gardens in the north, which are big and straight.
Director Yang saw Xia Tian coming, took a deep breath, then crossed his arms and began to try his luck: "How dare you come? And you brought a group of pretty girls with you, right?"
Xia Tian made a joke, "Aunt Yang, I miss you guys so much~"

Then I wish all the hard work of the comrades in the Journey to the West crew will not be in vain, and all the audiences will like it!
After talking about the future publicity plan, Director Yang's anger was appeased.

Xia Tian also saw his old classmates.

My old classmate Zhu Lin is very particular.
Xiao Xu also saw this person who was destined to be with him - the two actresses who appeared on the cover and back cover of the magazine at the same time.

Zhang Li was also quite curious about her. After all, Milan said that she was an old classmate of hers in the summer.

That appearance is truly dignified and elegant, a face that represents peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

His acting is very talented and his eyes are very dramatic, he really made the holy monk Chi Chongrui feel embarrassed~ and made Xia Tian very happy!
Because we are on the set, everyone is wearing costumes.

Even when Xia Tian and his friends came, they were all dressed in ancient costumes and theatrical costumes - Xia Tian's idea, very eye-catching along the way!

This attracted local reporters to come and interview and take photos - this is also part of the publicity!
The Red Mansion and Journey to the West can both be promoted, killing two birds with one stone!
Xia Tian: I unilaterally declare that it is a win-win situation~
So much so that many years later, when netizens saw this group of photos of the Red Mansion mistakenly entering the Kingdom of Women, they said it was "Leng Erlang mistakenly entering the Kingdom of Women."

Speaking of which, Director Yang not only filmed Journey to the West, she is also an avid fan of Dream of the Red Chamber. She has read this book since she was a child and continued to read it until her old age.

Director Yang felt very sorry for not being able to star in "Dream of the Red Chamber", so she found an opportunity to realize her dream in "Journey to the West" - that is the plot of the Kingdom of Women.

Originally, the focus of the original novel was on the Scorpion Demon, but Director Yang placed the disaster on the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, making it the most threatening of the eighty-one disasters.

This is also the reason why Director Yang left this difficult part to the very end of the filming!
Even the lyrics of the song "Daughter's Love" were written by her!
By the way, whether Tang Seng is moved in the Kingdom of Daughters, the White Dragon Horse knows best~
The King of the Kingdom of Women: Will my brother get married?
Tang Monk: Marry!

White Dragon Horse: All right, go ahead.
On the way back, Xiaoxu asked Xia Tian with a smile: "If you were Tang Monk, what would you choose?"

Everyone immediately looked at Xia Tian with a teasing look on their faces. These women have the advantage in numbers, so they will become very bold!

Xia Tian said proudly: "I will marry the queen first and then seek the scriptures. I will not let down Tathagata and you~"

"You wish~~Hahahaha!"

……

On March 3, it was time for Xia Tian to leave and the crew was about to go to Suzhou.

Before leaving, Xia Tian said goodbye reluctantly, hugged Xiao Xu, and then hugged Zhang Li...

Then he kissed Xiaoxu in front of Zhangli for the first time, and kissed Zhangli in front of Xiaoxu, making them run away~
Xia Tian returned to Yanjing, and Director Yang and his team came back within two days.

Now the filming of Journey to the West is complete! The rest is post-production work!

Xia Tian was also indispensable for the post-production work, because he had to dub himself and record songs for Journey to the West. Director Yang wanted to make Xia Tian piss himself, and he really liked Xia Tian, ​​so he basically gave most of the songs for Journey to the West to Xia Tian.

Of course, I have done a lot in the summer before, such as "The Road to Heaven is Broad and Vast" and "The Great Hymn".

Director Yang has decided to play the two ending songs "The Avenue to Heaven Is Broad and Vast" and "Where is the Road" alternately!
The composer of "Journey to the West" was Mr. Xu Jingqing, and I also heard the "dengdengdengdeng" sound of "Cloud Palace Swift Sound" in the summer.

There is also the "Heavenly Palace Dance" when Chang'e dances. How should I describe it? As soon as the music starts, it feels like I'm at the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet~
Looking at Miss Qiu's dancing posture, it is extremely fairy-like, it's really not the fault of Second Brother~
Recording songs and dubbing is a slow job, especially since many songs have not been finalized yet.

For example, Director Yang resolutely refused to accept the songs "White Dragon's Horse's Hooves Facing the West" and "Ninety-nine Eighty-one" sung by Xia Tian!

The former is a nursery rhyme, the latter is a bit too advanced!
Although the electronic music in "Cloud Palace Swift Sound" is considered very advanced, it is basically not available in China now, let alone on mainstream platforms.

Of course, Xia Tian has already been through this once, and with him taking the lead, the situation will be much better.

Director Yang even slammed the table at some of the leaders in the station because of this incident.

There was also the song "Where is the Road?" which was originally recorded and sung by Zhang Baomo (female). However, some people in the station thought it was too feminine and not masculine enough.

The leader always has to "make some modifications" to the work you have done, otherwise it will seem that the leader is useless.

This time Director Yang didn't force it - he just threw Xia Tian out to take the blame!
“Then I’ll ask Xia Tian to sing and see if it’s masculine enough?” Director Yang’s expression at the time was a bit like two kings leading four second-class ones.

I don’t know if it’s masculine enough, but the backstage is really strong!

Xia Tian used folk singing style to give the song a masculine and passionate feeling, and the station didn't say anything else.

Xia Tian: Well, I’m sorry to Jiang Dawei again this time.

Xia Tian was also singing with enthusiasm, and said to Director Yang: "Auntie, I have a few more songs here, how about you listen to them too, Auntie Yang?"

Director Yang suddenly became interested and dropped the work at hand: "What song? Sing it for me!"

Although she always acts like she's angry with Xia Tian, ​​Director Yang actually admires Xia Tian's talent very much.

Xia Tian started singing while playing the guitar, first singing "Wukong", then singing "Journey to the West in Reverse", and finally singing "Da Tang Gang"~
In the first two songs, Director Yang frowned, but it was not because the songs were bad, but because Xia Tian was too bold! "Journey to the West" could not be used either.

But when the last rap-style song "Datang Gang" came out, Director Yang's expression changed, and he was full of question marks - what is this?
"Just pretend I haven't heard of them! Don't sing these songs! Especially the last one, you'll be easily arrested for molestation!"

Recording songs and dubbing take time and cannot be completed in a short time.

In the summer, I helped record songs while attending classes.

One weekend, Xia Tian invited Li Chengru to drink. He had been feeling a bit depressed these past two days.

After the food and drinks came, Li Chengru drank a glass first, then lit a cigarette, leaned on the table and looked at the wall, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What do you think?" Xia Tian asked, "Director Yang arranged for you to work at CCTV, which is a good unit that not many people can get into."

"I know……"

"You know?" Xia Tian smiled and filled Li Chengru's and his own glasses. "You've been traveling all over the country and deep in the mountains for the past three years. Thank you for your hard work."

He picked up the glass, "But have you figured out what you want?"

"What do you want?" Li Chengru murmured, repeating Xia Tian's question.

"If you want to act, you have to be prepared to stay in obscurity for a few years, or even more than ten years."

"If you want to work at CCTV for a stable life, with your personality and ability, you may be able to become a cadre in many years."

"If you want to make money and get rich... I have a way."

Xia Tian: I have a road in the West. The risk is a bit high, but the profit is very high~
After the last drink, Xia Tian and Li Chengru agreed to go into business together - clothing business, and open a clothing mall!
Question: Why did the monsters have to capture Tang Monk? Couldn't they just capture ordinary people and eat them?
Answer: No, the common people don’t taste good, the common people are too miserable~
Don't talk about destiny when you realize the truth, don't seek the true scriptures when you practice. One sorrow, one joy, one withering and flourishing, which one is destined by the previous life?
The cassock is not pure in nature, and the red dust does not stain the nature. The thousand-year-old bell is just a fool's dream.
