Chapter 443: Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

After returning to Yanjing, Luo Xun took "Blue and White Porcelain" to meet the director of the Spring Festival Gala. As a result, after singing the song, the staff responsible for the Spring Festival Gala's artistic and other aspects looked at each other and finally gave a unanimous decision to pass.

The song is very nice.

The artistic conception is also great.

No matter from which angle, this song is impeccable. When he learned that this song was created by the golden combination of Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan, director Jin Yue smiled and said: "It's better than the "Dragon Fist" that Jay Chou sang in the Spring Festival Gala two years ago."

Luo Xun smiled.

In his previous life, Jay Chou was also a frequent guest of the Spring Festival Gala. Not to mention that he had been on the Spring Festival Gala four or five times, every time he finished the Spring Festival Gala, he would cause widespread discussion. From a cool boy who was controversial because of his unique music style and unclear articulation when he first debuted to a king-level figure in the music circle in the future, his experience along the way is quite legendary.

The next few days

Luo Xun began to rehearse the program "Blue and White Porcelain" in accordance with the arrangement of the Spring Festival Gala, but he was soon told tactfully that the program rehearsal was not to test his live singing ability, but to test his lip-syncing ability...

Ahem, commonly known as lip-syncing.

As for the performance, there will naturally be pre-recorded songs to be broadcast. He can just lip-sync and pose on stage. This made Luo Xun's original enthusiasm cool down by half, but Luo Xun also understood that this was a convention. Although there have been examples of real singing in the Spring Festival Gala, they are too few. Most of the time, the studio singing is still played for safety.

He did not resist.

He could not resist.

However, Luo Xun did not rehearse perfunctorily for this reason. After all, this is the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and he did not want to perfunctorily pass it. At the same time, he was quite confident in his live singing level. He felt that even if it was real singing, his live performance would never fail!

After all, singers debut.

Basic skills cannot be lost.

As for the considerations of the Spring Festival Gala, he can understand it. The program team is under great pressure. There are so many eyes of the national audience watching. What if there is a car accident? It will become a broadcast accident. Even singers who have been famous for a long time have car accidents. If you don’t believe it, go and watch the car accident scenes of those singers. So it can only be said that this matter is a bit regrettable. There is no need to complain about such things.

It was also these few days.

Luo Xun received a call from Stephen Chow, who said regretfully: "I have talked to Chen Jiashang about "Painted Skin". He said that the male lead has been decided by Chen Kun, so you can’t play it unless you are willing to play the male second..."

The male second?

Zhen Zidan’s role?

While Luo Xun was considering it, Stephen Chow said: "But I don’t recommend you to play the male second in "Painted Skin". You might as well make a play with me. I want to restart the filming of the Journey to the West series..."

"Journey to the West?"

Luo Xun was shocked by the news.

In his previous life, Stephen Chow restarted the Journey to the West series, but it was after "CJ7". In this life, he did not hear Zhou Xingchi mention that movie, but directly came up with the idea of ​​filming Journey to the West.

"Yes."

Zhou Xingchi could feel Luo Xun's heartbeat, and smiled and said: "As for your confidante, I have helped her get the role of Xiao Wei, which is considered to have completed the task you entrusted. I will not owe you a favor in the future."

"That's the best."

Luo Xun smiled, and then wanted to inquire about more things about Journey to the West, but heard Zhou Xingchi say: "But don't worry, I said restarting the Journey to the West series, not restarting it now. Before that, I have another movie in my hand, which is a movie I directed and acted in, a science fiction movie called "CJ7". You have no part in this movie, haha."

Luo Xun also laughed.

At the same time, he also felt that this was normal. Sure enough, before the restart of the Journey to the West series, there would be "CJ7". The response to this movie after it was broadcast was definitely not very good. Some people began to say that Zhou Xingchi had run out of ideas after watching this movie, and some people realized that the once high-spirited Xingye had started to get old after watching this movie...

As for the movie of the restart of Journey to the West.

It should refer to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

This movie has higher reviews than "CJ7", but it also belongs to the type of mixed reviews. Some people say that it continues the consistent characteristics of Zhou's comedy core being tragedy, and some people say that this movie is just Xingye eating up his old capital, and many places are playing old jokes. Now Zhou Xingchi hopes that Luo Xun will participate in this movie. To be honest, Luo Xun is 100% willing to accept it in his heart.

Not just because.

Luo Xun thinks that this "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is better than "Painted Skin", but also because Zhou Xingchi has a special meaning to Luo Xun, and the other party once gave him the greatest support when he was confused.

This favor.

He owes him.

Zhou Xingchi paid back the favor he owed him, but he hasn't paid back the favor he owed the other party. Of course, Zhou Xingchi actually asked him to give him a chance. You know, once a big production like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is established, countless first-line actors will scramble to recommend themselves. Who doesn't want to be the leading actor in Zhou Xingchi's movie?

So.

Luo Xun agreed to participate in this movie, which is definitely not to repay the favor, but to owe the other party more favors. The real way to repay the favor should be to make this mixed movie even better, so that netizens can't criticize it, and so that so many people won't complain that Master Xing has run out of ideas!

This is Luo Xun's idea!

As for why Luo Xun felt that he had a chance to do this, it was because Luo Xun had seen this movie in his previous life and had also read all kinds of comments about this movie from the outside world. This meant that he had obtained accurate market research in advance before the product was launched, which also made it easier for him to make adjustments. The only difficult part was how to convince Zhou Xingchi to accept his suggestions. Considering that Zhou Xingchi accepted a lot of his suggestions when he worked with him, and that the relationship between the two was better now, Luo Xun felt that this should not be too difficult.

"What do you think?"

Zhou Xingchi asked Luo Xun.

Luo Xun replied: "If you ask me to film, I will definitely come immediately. Let me play Sun Wukong or Tang Monk, or simply Zhu Bajie or Sha Monk. I dare not refuse at all."

"Bajie!"

Zhou Xingchi said seriously: "This will definitely be a subversive performance. You are so handsome. Playing Zhu Bajie can make the public feel different..."

Luo Xun's face darkened.

Really let me play Zhu Bajie?

Zhou Xingchi talked for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "No, I can't write it anymore. I'm considering whether to let you play Sun Wukong or Tang Monk. At the same time, I'm also considering whether I should participate in it. I'm getting older and I'm not so willing to appear in movies."

Speaking of this.

Zhou Xingchi's voice suddenly became a little depressed. Luo Xun, who knew it well, didn't say anything, and silently shared this helplessness.
