The superstar starts from the creation camp

Chapter 169 Let the Licking Dog Live!
Of course, there is another most important reason for Li Mu to choose "Journey to the West". "Journey to the West" itself is a vital part of Chinese fairy culture, and its influence is extremely far-reaching.

Even many island country comics are influenced by [Journey to the West]. Needless to say, [Dragon Ball], the protagonist is Monkey King, and the gold and silver horns in [Naruto] will not be mentioned. The protagonist Naruto’s shadow clone technique, Isn't it just that Wukong's big avatar and universal magic method copied it?
After writing the outline of the script on paper, Li Mu turned on his laptop to create a new file, and then began to polish the script according to the outline.

Unknowingly, he sat from morning to afternoon. Li Mu glanced at the time, stretched his waist long, then packed his things and got off work.

"Huh, you left so early today?" Shi Ran said a little sourly.

Li Mu shrugged: "Go home, someone at home is waiting for me to feed!"

Shi Ran said that he had received [-] points of critical damage, and laughed and cursed: "Get lost!"

On the 10-minute drive home from the studio, Li Mu went to the supermarket to buy vegetables on the way. Unfortunately, he ran into the aunt next door in the corridor.

The aunt said to Li Mu mysteriously: "Hey, young man, you don't know, there are always strangers hanging around outside our building recently, you should also be careful at home, and be sure to lock the door when you go out .”

Li Mu was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly realized that, needless to say, the paparazzi must have found them, and he had to admire their supernatural powers.

"Okay, thank you, auntie!"

"Wearing sunglasses all the time, you don't look like a good person," the aunt mumbled as she closed the door.

When Wang Ziwen heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately turned her eyes away from the TV, and when she saw Li Mu smiled sweetly, "I'm back."

Li Mu lowered his head and kissed her forehead and asked, "Are you tired after going out today?"

"Hey, don't mention it, I'm exhausted. You don't know how difficult it is to find a job now. I originally planned to find a professional counterpart in foreign trade or translation. As a result, several companies require at least work experience, not to mention work experience. A master's degree, is it so worthless these days?" Wang Ziwen said angrily.

"So?" Li Mu directly asked the key point.

Wang Ziwen said proudly again: "Hey, then I went directly to another job fair. It happened that an animation company was recruiting painters. I showed them my previous works, and I was hired within minutes."

Li Mu was also very good, and praised: "Yes, it really deserves to be a beautiful painter in CUHK."

Wang Ziwen smiled and offered a sweet kiss: "For the sake of your sweet mouth today, I reward you!"

"Why do I feel like you're taking advantage of me?"

"Bah, shameless!"

There was a burst of laughter, a meal was supposed to take about half an hour, but it was delayed until 06:30, Wang Ziwen naturally didn't know how to cook, and the kung fu of making trouble was first-rate, but Li Mu was also happy in it.

"Come on, congratulations on finding a job today, cheers!" Li Mu opened a glass of wine. In fact, he didn't have much research on this stuff, and most of them were gifts from some customers, just to show them.

Wang Ziwen is even worse, not to mention drinking, she will blush after drinking a little.
Satisfied with wine and food, Li Mu took out his laptop and continued writing the script, while Wang Ziwen had already started cleaning the pots and pans in the kitchen, which was their tacit understanding these days.

Li Mu is in charge of cooking, and she is in charge of washing dishes and mopping the floor. She really looks like a hostess.

Before he knew it, Wang Ziwen had already washed the dishes, and she couldn't help being curious when she saw Li Mu typing on the keyboard: "Are you writing a novel?"

"It's a script, and the company is going to start a project soon. I'll first figure out the general plot of the story, and then hand it over to the screenwriting team to polish it." Li Mu explained.

"Oh." Wang Ziwen didn't continue to disturb him, but moved a chair and sat next to Li Mu.

The only sound left in the room was the sound of Li Mu typing on the keyboard, but after a while, Li Mu heard a burst of sobbing. When he turned his head, he found that Wang Ziwen's eyes were red from crying.

"What, what's wrong?"

Wang Ziwen calmed down for a long time before staring at him quietly: "Why did you write Fairy Zixia to death? It's too disgusting! Can't you let the licking dog live?"

"Lick, lick the dog?" Li Mu thought he heard it wrong.

"Isn't it? Zixia only loves Zhizunbao from the beginning to the end. What about Zhizunbao? She has been lying to her, but Zixia has never suspected it. In the end, she sacrificed herself to die for Monkey King. Isn't this licking a dog or what?" Wang Ziwen speaks eloquently.

When she said that, Li Mu was really a little surprised. It turned out that Fairy Zixia was actually the biggest licking dog in "A Chinese Journey to the West". Is it because men and women see things differently?

"Do you men look down on dog licking?" Wang Ziwen said quietly.

Li Mu was amused: "What are you thinking about with your little head? This is just a script, don't think about it."

Seeing that Wang Ziwen was still looking very disappointed, Li Mu had no choice but to say: "I haven't finished writing the rest, do you want to read it?"

"want!"

Well, the law of true fragrance works everywhere.

When Li Mu finished writing the last part of the plot, the girl laughed through her tears: "That's right, what Zixia likes is Supreme Treasure, not that long-haired monkey, so they should be together!"

Well, this girl directly made Li Mu start to wonder if he understood [A Chinese Journey to the West].

A few days later, Li Mu called Liang Hongfei and the screenwriter team together for a meeting, and the plot of "A Chinese Journey to the West" was also printed into paper documents, one for each person.

"This is the company's next project. Let's take a look first. You can raise any questions."

Liang Hongfei looked at it very seriously, grinning stupidly from time to time, and frowning from time to time.

Shi Ran gradually became fascinated by it, and the meeting room was silent, only the occasional sound of pages turning.

"I think this script is good. If you polish it, it will be promising!" Liang Hongfei also felt his own problems after making two films, but he has been suffering from the lack of a good script. fire of hope.

The screenwriter team raised a question: "This drama looks like a comedy at first glance, but the core is still a tragedy. How do we grasp the scale of script writing?"

This is indeed a problem, as Zhou Xingchi said, he has acted in tragedies all his life, but people say he is the king of comedy. In fact, the "comedy part" of "A Chinese Journey to the West" has two purposes, one is to retain the audience, and the other It is to set off the final tragedy. This speed is indeed difficult to grasp!

"How about this, I'll list some of the main characters' lives and personalities for you, and you can compare and write."

Li Mu asked again: "Are there any questions? If not, then it's settled!"

Shi Ran raised his hand and said, "How do you arrange the actors for this play?"

This is indeed a problem. [A Chinese Journey to the West] Among other things, Athena Chu's peak beauty has fascinated generations of people. It is not just for fun that there will be no Zixia after Athena Chu.

"Is Jiang Yinyue's schedule suitable? If she is suitable for the role of Fairy Zixia, then give it to her." In Li Mu's impression, only Jiang Yinyue's looks are good enough to control this role, let alone the one who recruited her to come to the studio. Sometimes I also promised a role of female number one.

Although since Jiang Ye, she has also taken on the role of female lead twice in a row, which is not very rare.

"What about Supreme Treasure?" Shi Ran asked again.

"Is Chen Xuan's schedule suitable?"

Shi Ran spread his hands: "Some time ago, he won the third male role of a CCTV drama. It is said that the filming will start in three months. I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up."

"Okay, then I'll do it!" Li Mu sighed.

As soon as these words came out, Shi Ran's face became a little weird, as if he hesitated to speak.

Li Mu looked at it: "If there is no problem, let's prepare first!"

After sending everyone away, Shi Ran said, "You have nothing to do with Jiang Yinyue, right?"

"What can there be?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, didn't you have an affair with her before? A few days ago, the paparazzi caught a sneak peek of your relationship, and an entertainment reporter picked it up. Jiang Yinyue even smashed the reporter's microphone!" Shi Ran said.

Having said that, Li Mu felt a little guilty. When filming "Jiang Ye", he himself was a little confused whether it was on-screen or off-screen, and he had the most interactions with Jiang Yinyue outside the on-screen.

Acting itself is a process that is difficult to control. In order to achieve the best performance state, many actors will choose to substitute into the role.

Among them, Weng Meiling and Tang Zhenye are the most regrettable. The love between the two caused Weng Meiling to die young in the end, and Tang Zhenye was hidden for a time because of this, and finally disappeared from the public's view.

Shi Ran was just reminding, seeing that Li Mu had an idea in mind, he changed the subject and said, "Then give the role of Bai Jingjing to Li Miaomiao?"

Speaking of Bai Jingjing, Li Mu thought of Karen Mok who was slim back then, and couldn't help but feel emotional. It is said that the eighteenth female college has changed, and sincerity does not deceive others. Unfortunately, Karen Mok did not change in the direction of a pure girl.

More than ten years later, people even doubt whether the current Karen Mok is the same person as the original Bai Jingjing?
"Okay, let's arrange it like this!" Li Mu nodded.

It will take some time to polish the script, but the studio has already received the news, and the employees are excited. You must know that last time "Jiang Ye" became popular, everyone got a generous bonus. The salary of the last few plays is not much To make money, naturally there is no oily water.

Now I heard that the projects that Li Mu personally decided are all gearing up, scrambling to join the new project team, ready to do a big job.

There is no secret in the entertainment industry, and soon the outside world also received rumors. Liang Hongfei gained a lot of attention with "Crazy Stone" before, but the last two movies are just mediocre, and after "Jiang Ye", Director Yang also There are no more lucrative TV series, so what does it mean?The key to success is not in them.
