"Are you planning to go into battle yourself and defeat Jin Lai?"

Li Chengru came back after washing up and saw Gu Bei sitting on the bed, scratching his ears and cheeks, and said something with a smile.

After the crew came to Yangzhou, they stayed in a guest house near Geyuan. The conditions were very ordinary. There was not even a fan in the room.

Gu Bei and Li Chengru lived in a room with two beds on one side and the other half of the room filled with various props.

"I don't have such a big heart."

As he spoke, he wrote a few lines in his notebook.

"Are there still many people in the water house?"

Naturally, don't expect a private bathroom in a simple guest house like this. There is a public bath for bathing. You usually wash your face and brush your teeth in the water room at the end of the corridor.

"Duo, let's go later."

Li Chengru said, lying down on the bed and looking at the notebook Gu Bei placed beside the bed.

"I've been watching you write and draw these past two days. What do you remember?"

Gu Bei didn't say anything and just threw the notebook over. In addition to written records, there were also many paintings, all of which were portraits of Sun Wukong, with various expressions and movements.

Li Chengru had been curious for several days, and today he was finally able to see what was going on. He quickly opened it, and after only looking at it for a while, his face was full of surprise.

"You... have done your research in detail! Are you really planning to replace Zhang Jinlai?"

How can you not be meticulous?

Gu Bei only knew a little about the performance. If he wanted to help the crew, the only way was to restore as much as possible every expression, movement and look of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" he had seen in his memory.

.

As for whether he can understand it or not, that is a problem with Zhang Jinlai and the teacher who tutored him in acting.

"Are you going to give it to Director Yang now?"

Gu Bei took the notebook back and put it away carefully.

"It's definitely not possible now. I haven't finished sorting it out yet. Besides, it's too late now!"

The filming of this episode of "Destroying Demons and Black Chicken Country" is coming to an end, and the time is now at the beginning of August. According to the requirements of the station leaders, this episode will be broadcast on October 1st, the National Day.

After the filming is completed, there are still editing, soundtrack, and many other things that need to be busy.

Even if Gu Bei shows these things to Yang Jie now, can he still film the scene again?

"It's really too late."

These days, the station leaders have been urging us. During this period, Ruan Ruolin even came here once to inspect the progress of the filming. The crew has also been working hard.

Like today, I didn't come back until after eleven o'clock from work again.

"When I watched it, I felt... it was a bit uninteresting. I always felt that the acting was... different from what I imagined."

Gu Bei laughed when he heard this.

How big a difference does it mean?

It feels like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in the back, like a lump in the throat?

You are just Li Chengru now, and you have not yet evolved into the complete form of Poisonous Li.

"Xiao Gu, do you think we can get the job done if we go back with this work? Will the station leaders be satisfied?"

Li Chengru still remembers that at the Zhuang Guild meeting at that time, Director Wang Feng proposed that as long as it was a little better than the version in his childhood, Yang Jie insisted on getting it bigger and said that the director's requirements were too low.

What to do now?

The big words were spoken, and the military order was issued.

But is the current effect really feasible?

Li Chengru expressed serious doubts.

What worries him even more is that after working for so long and suffering so much, if the pilot episode fails to pass the test, will the crew have to disband?

If he was not reborn, Gu Bei would definitely have this kind of worry, but he knew that Yang Jie and the crew finally completed "Journey to the West".

Even though there are still many regrets, it does not prevent "Journey to the West" from becoming an eternal classic.

Even compared to "A Dream of Red Mansions" filmed at the same time, Gu Bei always felt that "Journey to the West" was superior.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is regarded as a classic by people, mostly because of feelings. Among them, the unexpected death of Sister Lin has deepened many people's impression of this drama.

"Journey to the West" has won the audience's reputation based on its quality.

"After all, it is a trial episode. The conditions are here. If it can be filmed like this, what should the Taiwan leaders be dissatisfied with? Besides, only if it is not satisfactory will there be room for improvement in the future. If we can achieve perfection all at once, then,

The expectations of Taiwan’s leaders have soared, what should we do?”

Li Chengru curled his lips when he heard this: "Anyway, you always say, OK! Let me lend you your good words. I hope everything goes well!"

Not only Li Chengru thinks so, but all the crew members in front of and behind the scenes also think the same way.

I hope that everything will go well, and when I go to the boss, even if I don't get a very good score, at least I have to pass!

August 4th.

According to the plan, the last few scenes will end today.

At the preparatory meeting, Gu Bei had proposed that each story should be made into an episode, and the literary script was also written in this way, but in the end Yang Jie changed her mind and left a suspense at the end of the episode.

The demon Quanzhen turned into Tang Monk and confused Sun Wukong, and that was the end.

It is helpless to say that Yang Jie didn't want to finish filming this story, but she didn't have enough time. Moreover, in order to conquer the demon in the end, Guanyin Master needed to take action, but the actors of Guanyin Master couldn't make it because they had acting duties.

.

In addition, the crew has no money.

At the beginning, Hong Minsheng promised to grant 3 million to the crew of "Journey to the West", but he did not say that the money would be received at once.

The filming now is a pilot episode, so I was only given 150,000 yuan. This was something Yang Jie had to fight for repeatedly.

In a month, almost all the money has been spent. If the project is not completed, I may not even have the travel expenses back to the capital.

"Director Yang!"

Yang Jie raised her head and looked at Gu Bei.

"Let's get started!"

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but only Yang Jie knew that Zen's heart was not stable at this moment.

When she first came to Yangzhou, she was full of confidence and all she could think about was that she could finally show off her skills. However, as the filming progressed, she felt increasingly unsure.

I thought I was well prepared, but as I continued shooting, I discovered more and more problems.

Now I go back and look at the footage every day, and there is no one that makes Yang Jie satisfied.

There are problems everywhere, but where does the problem lie?

""Journey to the West" Chapter 1 of Scene

Snap!

Shooting begins.

Yang Jie stared at the picture on the monitor, wishing that every frame passed by.

Only when problems are discovered can they be solved.

Obviously, the content filmed now is not the "Journey to the West" she wanted. At least, it is still far from what she expected.

But time waits for no one, the train tickets back to the city have been booked, and the whole group will board the train back to Beijing tonight.

If the trial collection can pass the inspection, everything will be fine, and the regrets left now can be made up for later.

But what if...

Everything comes to an end.

Gu Bei watched from the side. He could feel that the old lady was uneasy in her heart. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

You can't tell the other party directly: Director Yang, I came back from forty years later. Don't worry, the pilot episode is no problem. The boss is very satisfied. You are still the chief director of "Journey to the West" and can take us to complete this project together in the future.

A classic masterpiece.

hehe!

Monster, let the monkey take a stick on the head first.

"Okay! That's it, it's done."

Near noon, the last scene ended. There were no cheers or celebrations. Everyone's reaction was a long sigh of relief.

It's not easy.

If you are satisfied or dissatisfied, put it aside for now. During this period, everyone's hard work is obvious to all.

The living conditions are poor and the work intensity is high. Except for southerners like Zhang Jinlai, most northern actors are not adaptable to the local environment.

After a month, even Bajie has lost weight.
