The superstar starts from the creation camp

Chapter 184 Little White Dragon Is Not Just a Horse!

"Ms. Li has worked hard, come here, drink some water to moisten your throat first." The staff handed over a glass of warm water graciously.

Li Mu was also feeling thirsty, so he drank as soon as he took it, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Director Jia also came over at this time, he gave a thumbs up and said, "You speak well, no worse than those professors from famous universities."

"Don't flatter me, it depends on the audience's reaction in the end." In fact, relatively speaking, Li Mu has more confidence in the audience of Baijia interviews. Most of the people who like to watch such programs have a certain cultural foundation , not just as an entertainment show.

Unlike those on the Internet who have only watched the Journey to the West TV series, but have not read the original work, the [-] episodes of the programs recorded on CCTV [-] have mixed reviews. It is also the reason why CCTV [-] did not ask Li Mu to continue recording.

After resting for a while, Li Mu started the follow-up speech, a total of six episodes, and it only talked about Yingchoujian's recovery of Bailongma.

"Although Yingchoujian seems to be relatively plain this time, it actually reveals a lot of secrets about the follow-up of Journey to the West. Let's first talk about how Xiao Bailong and Tang Seng greeted each other for the first time."

"There is a saying in the original book: I saw a noise in the ravine, and a dragon came out, pushing the waves, breaking out of the cliff, and snatching the elder. The traveler lost his luggage in a panic, took the master off the horse, turned around and left. The dragon couldn't keep up, and swallowed his white horse, saddle and bridle."

"Everyone can see clearly that the first target of the little white dragon is not the horse, but Tang Seng. Tang Seng was hugged by Monkey King and ran too fast, so the little white dragon ate the white horse. Then the little white dragon is I really don’t know Tang Seng, so I want to eat him?”

"This..." The audience was dumbfounded for a while. They really didn't notice this detail when they were reading the book. The key point is that Li Mu's perspective on the problem is a bit too tricky. He always has different opinions from others, and often speaks surprisingly.

Li Mu smiled and continued: "Let's see what Xiao Bailong said when he saw Guanyin. Do you believe what I said? Tang Seng is obviously a monk, since the Bodhisattva asked him to wait for the Buddhist scriptures here, and Xiao Bailong went directly to Tang Seng without asking, isn't he afraid of getting it wrong? person?"

"Obviously, Xiao Bailong knows who Tang Seng is, but since he knows it is Tang Seng, why does he still act like he wants to eat him?" When applying for a company, the boss comes to the interview in person, do you want to show your skills to the boss? If you make a deep impression, you will have the chance of promotion in the future.”

"Haha." This statement immediately made the audience laugh. It is indeed possible. Of course, everyone was actually asking for Tang Seng's psychological shadow area at that time. A good interview almost lost his life. I don't know. Did Tang Seng pee his pants in fright?

"Of course, there is a deep meaning to what Xiaobailong did. Everyone knows the official establishment of the Western Paradise Learning Team. The Buddha actually only gave four. Originally, Xiaobailong was forced in by Avalokitesvara, so the white horse had to die. Later, Avalokitesvara He also explained: I personally played the Jade Emperor for that dragon, and I asked him to come here to serve as a leg for Buddhist scripture seekers. Do you think that ordinary horse from the east land has experienced thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains? How did it get to the Lingshan Buddha? Land? You have to get this dragon horse before you can go there."

"Avalokitesvara arranged for Xiaobailong to be a coolie, so Xiaobailong wanted to give Tang Seng a blow. Don't think that if I carry you, you can bully me. I can eat people."

Well, this statement made the audience laugh. It actually makes sense when you think about it carefully. People are good at being bullied and horses are being ridden by others. Xiao Bailong’s doing this is also a reasonable self-protection method. It is to make the character of Xiao Bailong more vivid, and he is no longer the white dragon horse who has been rushing on the road.

"As I said before, since Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Xiao Bailong to wait for Buddhist scriptures at Yingshoujian, why didn't Xiao Bailong reveal his identity at the first time? And the most interesting thing is that Monkey King was fighting with Xiao Bailong You didn’t reveal your identity during the process, why is that?”

"Actually, Sun Wukong and Xiaobailong have the same thoughts. A newcomer wants to join the scripture learning team. As a big brother, how can Sun Wukong not establish his own prestige? It can be said that the two sides have a tacit understanding and know each other well, even if Xiaobai The dragon couldn't beat Sun Wukong and turned into a water snake and ran away. He didn't reveal his identity to Sun Wukong and begged for mercy, why? Obviously, if he is subdued at this time, he might be bullied by monkeys in the future."

Director Jia almost laughed out loud when he heard it at the scene. It’s also interesting to say that Monkey King is a Bi Mawen in the Heavenly Court, who specializes in horses. It’s normal for Xiao Bailong to have this worry.

"So, Xiao Bailong is actually smart. Even if I don't come out, you can't do anything about me. In the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva has to come forward. At this time, Xiao Bailong's role as a driver for Tang Seng will be different. The Bodhisattva personally came forward to join the scripture-seeking team. If Sun Wukong bullied him, he would not give Bodhisattva any face. Later, everyone saw that Xiaobailong still had a leisurely life on the way to get scriptures. Zhu Bajie was carrying the luggage, so he only had to carry it. Tang Seng is enough, he doesn't even need him to fight monsters, in fact, Xiao Bailong didn't lose his mana, and Kui Mulang later made a great contribution thanks to him for saving the fate of the sutra learning team."

"Haha, driver, this metaphor is so interesting."

"Actually, if you think about it, it's true. It seems that Xiao Bailong really hasn't shown up and made any effort except for Kui Mulang's time."

The audience laughed lightly at some fresh vocabulary that Li Mu popped up from time to time.

"Before the lecture, I also said that this time Yingchoujian actually exposed many secrets of the follow-up of Journey to the West. First of all, why Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha knew Sun Wukong but did not reveal their identities, because they knew Sun Wukong as a big brother. I am very unconvinced, and this also proves from the side, in fact, the disturbance in the Heavenly Palace was a farce, and the gods in the Heavenly Court did not take Monkey King seriously at all."

"Yingchoujian has revealed a secret this time—in fact, the team of the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures has never consisted of four masters and apprentices plus a horse. When Tang Seng and Monkey King had a dispute over the white horse being eaten, they suddenly heard someone He shouted: "Sun Dasheng don't be upset, Tang Yudi don't cry.We are gods sent by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, specially here to secretly protect those who learn scriptures. "The elder heard the words and hurriedly worshiped. The traveler said: "Which one are you waiting for? You can sign up, I will be better." The eight protectors, each taking turns to wait on duty."

"From here it can be seen that there is actually a secret Tang protection team besides the Xitian Sutra team, which has been protecting Tang Seng, and the frequency of this secret team actually appearing in the original book is not low, it's just the TV series version They don't exist in the movie, so there are fewer people who pay attention to these details."

Originally, this talk ended here, but Li Mu still habitually left a button at the end.

"Yingchoujian also left a hidden hint this time, which is the relationship between Monkey King and Tang Seng. Do you still remember what happened when Tang Seng met Sun Wukong for the first time? In a miserable time, he was rescued by Tang Seng from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, Sun Wukong was very grateful to Tang Seng, and Tang Seng was also frightened by the three monsters before, when Liu Boqin was about to leave again, he was lonely and helpless."

"So the first impression of the master and the apprentice was actually good. It was only later that Sun Wukong's wild nature was gradually revealed, and Tang Seng's long-winded and indecisive character was also exposed. That's why Guanyin Bodhisattva gave Tang Seng a golden hoop and gave him back. A magic spell helped Tang Seng subdue Sun Wukong."

"But the contradiction was magnified when we arrived at Yingshoujian. This time, Tang Seng experienced the fear of being almost eaten by monsters. He was frightened, which made Monkey King look down on him even more, and Monkey King also said that He didn't show mercy and reprimanded Tang Seng all at once, so he didn't look like a master-student. Monkey King's arrogance also planted a seed of gloom in Tang Seng's heart, which will eventually bear fruit one day. So when will this bad fruit come out? Will it come to fruition? If you want to know what will happen next, let’s listen to the next chapter to break it down.”

The six episodes of the program were all recorded in one day, and Li Mu also spent a lot of energy, chatting with the live audience who hadn't heard enough before entering the backstage.

As soon as he entered the backstage, he was surrounded by applause, especially Director Jia, who was very satisfied watching Li Mu. After recording these six episodes, he immediately had confidence in the ratings of the show.

"Mr. Li, your speech is amazing. I have read Journey to the West several times. After listening to what you said, I must go back and read these replays at night. How come there are so many details that I didn't notice."

"Yeah, it's very good, even better than those well-known professors."

Li Mu waved his hands again and again: "It's enough to talk about it here, don't hurt me, I'm Ye Luzi, everyone just listen to it for fun, it's incomparable with the opinions of professors and scholars."

After resting for a while, Li Mu got up and returned to the hotel, and left the capital a few days later. Although everyone has confidence in the six episodes of the program, no one can guarantee the taste of the audience. They can only test the water first. If the response is good, Everyone will have confidence in their hearts.

After returning to Shanghai, Li Mu actually had nothing to do. The acquisition of the animation workshop was still in full swing. The negotiation team reached an agreement with two of the venture capital institutions, and the remaining few also intend to sell their shares. It's just a matter of price in the end.

This kind of negotiation is a tug-of-war, and Li Mu is not in a hurry. The acquisition of the animation studio will not have any impact on the original business of the studio, and the studio's funds are still relatively sufficient.

But one day Director Yang took the initiative to find Li Mu and handed over a document.
