Chapter 53 Little Westward Journey, Erlang God (for further reading)
Listening to the voice in his head, Xu Mu felt a little puzzled.

"Genius idiot dream?"

He is not very familiar with this song.

At this moment, information about the song gradually appeared in Xu Mu's mind: Xu Guanjie composed the music, wrote the lyrics together with Xue Zhixiong, and Xu Guanjie sang.

At the same time, a singing voice sounded in my mind: "Everyone is looking for a dream, and there is no distinction between east and west in the dream. For a moment, the spring breeze is smug, and the unknown scenery is hazy..."

Xu Mu immediately interrupted the voice in his head: "Cantonese songs?"

There are also Cantonese songs in this world, but they are not as popular as on Earth.

On Earth, because of Xiangjiang, Cantonese songs occupy a huge market.

Here, the market for Cantonese songs is relatively small, but there are still people singing.

First of all, from the point of view of speech, Cantonese has nine tones and six tones. If you follow the Cantonese pronunciation to write lyrics, the song will be catchy.

Secondly, from the perspective of Chinese history, as long as the history of Huaguo on this earth before the Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, Cantonese will definitely exist and be valued.

Historically, the stereotype of Cantonese has a great relationship with the continuous migration of people from the Central Plains to Lingnan from the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties.

"Guangzhou Tongzhi" records that in 214 BC, Qin "immigrated and emigrated 50 people to the park", and there was a steady stream afterwards.Mr. Li Xinkui pointed out in "On the Historical Process of Guangzhou Dialect" that "when Cantonese dialect has formed its own characteristics... it stopped accepting further assimilation..."

In "Classics Live Forever" on Earth, many ancient poems were also sung by Cantonese singers.

Therefore, it is very logical and reasonable that Cantonese and Cantonese songs exist in this world.

But Xu Mu was struggling with something else.

The popularity of Cantonese songs in this world is only less than one-third of that on the earth. Who is this singing for?

"Forget it, let's listen to the music first."

The voice in my mind continued to sound: "Life is like a dream, in which good and bad are tossed and turned, looking for joy is unbearable, suffering and joy are the same..."

Xu Mu listened to the lyrics against the lyrics in his head, and felt that his heart gradually calmed down.

This song is very old.

But it makes people listen.

"The drunkard is waking up, will he ride the dragon..."

Xu Mu finished listening to the song without knowing it, and then listened to it again.

In the end, he decided with his weak literary appreciation ability: "This song is awesome."

In fact, the lyrics of many old songs are full of speculation.

This song discusses a person's life to some extent, pain and happiness, dreams and reality.

As he listened, Xu Mu thought of someone.

Tao Yiran!
He is from Cantonese, he can sing Cantonese songs.

"No, Lao Tao's style of music is not like this."

Because Tao Yiran was a dancer, even if he wasn't asked to act, the songs that Tianxing arranged for him were still sung and danced, dynamic.

From that style of music to the still waters of "Genius Idiot Dreams", this change is too big.

but……

Xu Mu pondered again: "A singer and dancer, a fool in the eyes of others, if he calms down and sings Cantonese songs, is it possible to open up the market instead?"

The drunken man wakes up, does he cross the phoenix and ride the dragon?
Xu Mu's eyes lit up.

There's something going on!
But this song can't be given now, these brothers are still under the banner of Tianxing.

Doing so is tantamount to making a wedding dress for someone else.

"Wait for the right opportunity."

Xu Mu listened to the song in his head again.

This song may not be suitable for the list, but the value of some songs may not need the list to prove it.

While Xu Mu was listening to the song, his phone rang again.

Xu Mu looked at the time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, who is this?

When I saw the call prompt: Jiang Hongye.

Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, then picked up the phone: "Hey, Teacher Jiang, are you still asleep?"

Jiang Hongye: "Why are you sleeping? Have you practiced boxing during this time?"

The way Xu Mu and Jiang Hongye get along is different from other seniors. He is more straightforward: "Practice boxing at night?"

Jiang Hongye: "All right, all right, I won't talk nonsense with you, I have business to do."

Xu Mu chuckled and said, "You tell me."

Jiang Hongye also smiled: "Why did I read on the Internet that you were going to act insane? Lin Qiushi recommended it?"

Xu Mu: "Yeah."

Jiang Hongye on the other side of the phone is on the set. He is wearing makeup and has long hair.

He scratched his itchy scalp because of wearing a hood: "I also have a horn, come here?"

Last time in the "Acting Training Class", Jiang Hongye said what Xu Mu listened to, which made Jiang Hongye express his feelings: "I really deserve to die".

However, Jiang Hongye was too busy to recommend roles to Xu Mu at all.

Today, he saw Xu Mu's participation in the movie "You Are Crazy" when he went online. After looking at the lineup and making a phone call, he immediately knew that the role was recommended by Lin Qiushi.

Lin Qiushi, you are such a nice guy.

Jiang Hongye thought about it, when he was drinking with Lin Qiushi, they both praised Xu Mu for being a good boy when they were drunk, but turned around and Lin Qiushi recommended a character to him.

Am I not just talking but not practicing?

Jiang Hongye, this wave was picked up by Lin Qiushi.

He is more popular than Lin Qiu and has more resources at hand. It is too easy to find a role for Xu Mu.

Have one today.

"Category C web drama "Little Journey to the West", Erlang God, are you coming?"

Xu Mu was stunned: "Erlang God?"

Jiang Hongye: "I look at your image, which is quite suitable for Erlang Shen. There are some fight scenes in this movie. I just want to see your progress during this period."

"What is Little Journey to the West?" Xu Mu asked.

Jiang Hongye: "Send the script to you, and read it yourself. If you are interested, you can come to get a make-up first, try a scene, and see if the director agrees."

"This role is quite small, and it will be over in a few days. If you come, bring Dong Fei with you."

He talks less nonsense.

After Xu Mu thanked her a few words, the two hung up the phone.

In less than half a minute, the script came.

"Little Journey to the West..."

Xu Mu opened the script.

Then I understand why this web drama is called "Little Journey to the West".

In this world, Journey to the West has also been filmed by Jingzhou TV Station, and it is extremely classic.

This caused almost all remakes to be scolded bloody.

Later, the screenwriters discovered a loophole, that is, Jingzhou TV's Journey to the West did not film all the chapters of the original work, and there is still a lot of content left.

We can’t remake what you’ve filmed, and it’s over if I shoot what you haven’t filmed?

Therefore, many TV series such as "Journey to the West Continued" and "Journey to the West" have appeared in recent years.

Investors with a lot of money should increase their investment, apply for a Class B rating, and then go to the stars.

If you have less money, then reduce your investment and make it into a web drama.

And Fu Hua Dao can also be more diverse, mainly for young people to see.

The "Little Journey to the West" recommended by Jiang Hongye is of this type.

Xu Mu looked at it, and found that the script of this Little Journey to the West almost followed the original work, but there was nothing messy about it.

And if the original work is followed, Erlang God appears twice.

Once Monkey King made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, he came out to let the dogs go, but the classic version of Jingzhou TV has already been filmed.

The second time was the 62nd episode. I went to Jisai to fight Nine-Headed Insects, and Erlang God came out to help. This was filmed in "Little Journey to the West".

That role is quite small.

Xu Mu calculated the time, he only started the film examination in mid-September, and there was still some time.

He really wanted to play this role.

Gentlemen, who doesn't want to shoot some scenes of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground.

At this moment, Jiang Hongye sent another message: "There is one more thing I need to tell you. This drama was filmed by the Holy Church. You may have to discuss it with the company."

Shengtang is a first-class entertainment company that is almost as famous as Tianxing in the entertainment circle. Jiang Hongye is an artist under Shengtang, but it is said that he has some shares now.

Shengtang is good at making mythological dramas and martial arts dramas.

This can also be seen from the name.

"Ok."

Xu Mu immediately called Xie Chen: "Brother Chen, I have something to tell you..."

"What? The church?" Xie Chen was so drunk that he immediately sobered up.

"The Holy Church is a big company! Wait until I have a chat with the company tomorrow."

Xie Chen didn't come back until after two o'clock that night, and after eight o'clock in the morning, he hurriedly knocked on Xu Mu's room door and asked what was going on.

Xu Mu explained the cause and effect, and showed him the script by the way.

"I'll contact the company." Xie Chen dialed Li Xiaofei's number with his mobile phone.

Li Xiaofei just went to work, and when he heard what Xie Chen said, he also became energetic: "Holy Church? Are you so well connected?"

Xie Chen repeatedly denied: "No, no, no, this is not my connection, this is what Xu Mu made friends with in that "Acting Training Class"."

Li Xiaofei: "That's also a connection."

Then she gave the company's opinion: I want Xu Mu to act in this play.

Qiming Entertainment has just started, and for some reason, they are at odds with Tianxing.

At this time, it would be very beneficial if the company could have more contact with the Holy Church.

Besides, the reputation of the church has always been good.

"You just wait in Rongcheng, I'll let Dong Fei go over." Li Xiaofei gave the order at that time.

"Didn't Dong Fei talk about cooperation in another drama?" Xu Mu asked beside him.

Li Xiaofei smiled happily: "He trained for a few days and was selected by the director. Now he is waiting for other roles to be finalized and the crew to make plans. It will take a month anyway."

The artists under him took off one by one, and Li Xiaofei was very happy.

At four o'clock in the afternoon that day, Xu Mu saw Dong Fei and Zhang Yue rushing towards him at the hotel.

Both agents came, which shows how much the company attaches importance to this matter.

"Brother Mu!" Dong Fei jumped up when he saw Xu Mu.

"Brother Mu, we two brothers are finally fighting side by side again this time!"

"This is a mythological drama, we have to cross the Three Realms."

Xu Mu was silent for a while: "It hasn't been decided yet whether we want the two of us."

"No, Brother Mu." Dong Fei suddenly woke up.

"You play Erlang Shen, who shall I play?"

Xu Mu picked up the phone: "Ask Teacher Jiang."

The phone was connected, and Dong Fei immediately said: "Mr. Jiang, I am Dong Fei. I have gathered with Brother Mu and I am going to go to your audition, but I have a question. Brother Mu plays Erlang Shen. Who should I play?" ah?"

Jiang Hongye laughed and said, "If you two come together, then it must be Xiaotiangou."

Dong Fei: "Huh?"

Jiang Hongye smiled directly: "I'm just kidding, you're not Xu Mu, you passed the filming test, you can have more roles, Nine-Headed Insect, you can give it a try."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Jiang." Dong Fei immediately smiled.

Xu Mu: "..."

Dong Fei raised his head and saw Xu Mu's face with black lines.

"Brother Mu, what's the matter with you?"

Xu Mu chuckled, ready to tease him: "Didn't you mean to fight side by side in the Three Realms, I think Xiao Tiangou is quite suitable."

Dong Fei immediately drooped his face: "Brother Mu, can you speed up, please hurry up and pass the shadow test."

"As long as you pass the film test, when the time comes, we two brothers will make a play with Erlang God as the protagonist, and I will play the Roaring Dog for you."

Xu Mu: "..."

It's so bullying.

I have to pass the film test for him!
ps: I know that "Genius Idiot Dream" is too old, but according to my superficial world view and data analysis, there will be Cantonese songs in this world, but the current market is not too big, so let's start with this one. one time.

In addition, judging from the line of the mental hospital, the speculation of geniuses and madmen, and the experience of other people in the illiterate group, this song is quite suitable, so please rest assured, I will not mess around.
