Journey to the West.

These three words made Chen Jie stunned for a while. Gu Lang also took a closer look and was equally puzzled. He asked: "What kind of story is it about? You can't tell anything from the name?"

"The background is the Tang Dynasty."

Luo Yuandao: "In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang, a 25-year-old young monk, led a disciple to leave Chang'an, the capital, and went to Tianzhu to study alone..."

""The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty"?"

Gu Lang blurted out, and Chen Jie on the side also thought of this work that has been passed down through the ages. History textbooks specifically talk about Xuanzang. It is said that after setting off from Chang'an, this man passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries, and passed through Gaochang Kingdom.

At that time, the residents there respected Buddhism very much. The king was very happy to see that they were monks from the Tang Dynasty. He was willing to make them the protectors of the country, plus a hundred taels of gold and thousands of horses. The disciples were shaken and finally stayed in Gaochang.

Kingdom, Xuanzang sneaked out and fled to the west, where he met the soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom.

This group of people respected Xuanzang very much.

Before leaving, they gave Xuanzang a white horse and some documents. Xuanzang was very grateful. He bowed a few times in the direction of the palace and then rode west. Finally, Xuanzang went through many hardships and dangers and finally reached India, where he

After studying for more than two years, he served as a lecturer at a large-scale Buddhist scripture debate and received praise.

In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Xuanzang returned to Chang'an.

He brought back more than 600 Buddhist scriptures. His journey to the West lasted for nineteen years and traveled tens of thousands of miles. It was a legendary long march that caused a sensation. Later, Xuanzang's oral account of his journey to the West was compiled by his disciple Bianji into "

"The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" has twelve volumes, but this book mainly tells the history, geography and transportation of the countries seen on the road. There are no stories until his disciples Huili and Yancong wrote "The Master Tripitaka of the Great Ci'en Temple of the Tang Dynasty"

"Biography" adds a lot of mythological color to Xuanzang's experience.

From then on, the story of Tang Monk’s Buddhist scriptures began to be widely circulated among the people.

And these are what Chen Jie and Gu Lang thought of. What they didn't know was that on this basis, someone in the Southern Song Dynasty created "The Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty", and the Jin Daiyuan originally had the "Tang Tripitaka" and "Peach Club"

", etc. Yuan dramas include Wu Changling's "Tang Sanzang Xitian Quest", Anonymous's "Er Lang Shen Suo Qi Monkey King", etc. These all laid the foundation for the creation of "Journey to the West". Later, Wu Cheng'en also wrote in folk legends and scripts.

Based on the opera, and through painstaking re-creation, this great literary masterpiece that the Chinese nation is proud of was completed.

This is the origin of "Journey to the West"!

It is a pity that this world, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, was put to death and reborn, and embarked on a completely different path, so that the mythical work "Journey to the West", which is a cultural treasure, disappeared in the long river of history, and Luo Yuan was

After discovering this, I secretly decided to film this popular work if I had the chance.

He didn't dare to take photos before.

Because he was afraid of ruining such a classic work. Now that Crimson is at its peak, with a scale comparable to the Seventh, there is no more powerful moment than now, so he decided to officially launch the "Journey to the West" project, and he must ensure that this work

Super high quality finish!

"Do you want to film a biography of Xuanzang?"

It is normal for Chen Jie to think so, because Xuanzang is evaluated in history books as an envoy of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. His patriotism and protection of Buddhism and his great contribution have even made him known as the "backbone of the nation"!

He has a spirit that is not afraid of life and death.

After all, in that era of underdeveloped transportation, it was not something ordinary people could do to spend several years traveling westward to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, his footprints were all over India, and his influence was as far away as Japan, South Korea and even the world, including some historical figures abroad.

Anyone who has done research will be familiar with Xuanzang!

This is a serious drama!

But why does the boss say that "Journey to the West" is a mythological script? Is he going to adapt "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" into a story full of mythology? Will this arouse criticism from some experts in the industry?

Chen Jie frowned.

Gu Lang was puzzled. He felt that after taking out the script of "Journey to the West", his boss became very solemn. This level of solemnity was even as serious as when he decided to film "Iron Man". Is this drama really true?

So important?

"As you guessed."

Luo Yuan did not sell it: "Journey to the West is a magically modified version of "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". Xuanzang is still the same Xuanzang, but his true identity is the reincarnation of the golden cicada next to the Buddha. On the way to the west,

He will meet three disciples, the eldest disciple Sun Wukong, the second disciple Zhu Bajie, the third disciple Sha Wujing, and by the way, there is also a white dragon horse."

Chen Jie and Gu Lang looked at each other, confused.

Luo Yuan also knew that it was very troublesome to explain in words, so he could only say: "In short, Chen Jie, you will understand after reading the script. There is no need to have any worries. Shoot well. For this drama, I will come up with the best performance in history."

The strict attitude will never allow things to get passed by, and I will be fully involved in the selection of actors."

"good!"

Since the boss said so, Chen Jie was naturally fine. He also felt that some of his worries were overblown. How could a script that could attract such attention from the boss go wrong?

It’s definitely no problem!

Thinking of this, a smile bloomed on Chen Jie's face, while Gu Lang on the side made up his mind to get a copy of the script later. He was also curious about what kind of story could make his boss value it so much.

The two left.

The news that Chen Jie had obtained the new script for the TV series quickly spread within the company. Director Chen's mobile phone was instantly flooded with calls from all parties, including many from Scarlet's senior executives. But unfortunately,

In the end, Chen Jie said something back: "The casting this time is decided by the boss. If you want to appear, you have to pass the boss's test."

Okay, no more fun.

No one dares to look for Chen Jie anymore. It must be very important for the boss to name the TV series for the role. If someone relies on connections and manages to get the role, but in the end the boss is not satisfied, the consequences will be quite serious. You know,

The Crimson boy band was relegated to the sidelines by the boss for a long time because of their unsatisfactory professional skills. The boss usually seemed quite gentle, but if he really wanted to get angry, no one would dare to speak.

This actually made Chen Jie's ears clear a lot.

Gu Lang asked Chen Jie for a copy of the script. Chen Jie certainly did not neglect the request of the general manager of the company. He readily made a copy for the other party, then locked himself at home and studied the script called "

The script of "Journey to the West"

He entered a strange and bizarre world.
Chapter completed!
