Chapter 125

After assigning tasks to Lei Jun and others, Lin Ye returned to the crew without stopping.

The great success of the first episode of Journey to the West made him realize that this was a very good opportunity, a great opportunity to accelerate the development of the entertainment industry in Tianyuan Continent.

So now he just wanted to shoot the second and third episodes quickly, and when the audience has formed the habit of watching, he can insert advertisements and open membership.

It was only when he entered the crew that he found that the current atmosphere of the crew seemed not very good. Yi Mou, who was appointed as the temporary director by him, was frowning and staring at the monitor.

"Ka Ka Ka! No, no, the effect is not achieved, come again!"

"Bodhi Patriarch is a hermit, not an ordinary old man, everyone do it again."

As soon as Yi Mou finished speaking, he suddenly noticed Lin Ye on the side and hurriedly stood up to salute.

"Director, you are back."

"Yeah." Lin Ye nodded. "What's wrong, is the shooting not going well?"

Hearing Lin Ye's question, Yi Mou nodded helplessly.

"Director, according to your request, we have already started filming the scene where Sun Wukong learns martial arts in Fangcun Mountain, but I always feel that it is a little lacking."

"For example, this scene, the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain in the novel is a fairy cave. Although our temporary scene is also good, it lacks a little fairy spirit."

Hearing him say this, Lin Ye immediately looked around.

In order to shoot the scenes of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, he specially found people from the Civil Engineering Department to build a scene on this isolated island.

Although everything was built according to Lin Ye's requirements and the shapes were very delicate, it was indeed as Yi Mou said, lacking fairy spirit, and the buildings were too new.

Looking at it, Lin Ye frowned.

"This is indeed a question. Do you have any other questions?"

"Yes! Although the old man who plays Bodhi Patriarch does have some charm in his appearance, his cultivation is a little low. He only has the foundation-building cultivation. He does not have the strong aura of a hermit, and he cannot control the scene."

When Yi Mou said this seriously, Lin Ye didn't know what to say for a moment.

He wanted to say that it was not an atomic bomb, so it would be fine, but thinking back to what he taught Yi Mou and Ji Zhong yesterday, he thought about it and held it back.

After all, he said the words "striving for excellence" and "craftsman spirit".

But he didn't expect Yi Mou's requirements to be so high.

"It seems that we can only find actors and filming locations again." Lin Ye said after thinking again and again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Mou showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping.

"Director, I actually saw a place on Douyin that is quite suitable for filming."

"Oh? Where is it?"

"Lingtai Mountain." Yi Mou took out his mobile phone, opened Douyin, pointed to a Douyin video and said:

"This is Lingtai Mountain, located in the East Region, hidden in the blessed land of Lingshan, with a fairy-like aura, almost exactly the same as the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain described in the novel."

Hearing his words, Lin Ye immediately took his mobile phone and opened the video.

When he saw the text below the video, he couldn't hold it back.

"I advise everyone who wants to join the immortal sect not to come to Lingtai Mountain. It is not allowed to play with mobile phones here. Qi-refining cultivators can only play for one hour a day. I can't stay any longer. I'm ready to leave."

"Good guy, this is reporting your own sect. However, not allowing disciples to play with mobile phones is indeed a bad behavior. We must not encourage this kind of evil trend. If you don't play, I won't play. Who will watch my TV series and play my games in the future?"

"But then again, this person is so openly reporting his own sect and making admission discounts for the sect. Isn't he afraid of being caught?"

Lin Ye opened the comment area casually.

When he saw the first comment in the comment area, he couldn't hold it anymore.

I saw a person with the nickname Changmei directly commented: "My fellow Taoist, which peak are you from? Who is your master?"

Under this comment, the user who posted the video directly replied with a drooling expression.

"Which peak? I don't know. Master, you should at least change your name and avatar to trick me. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Changmei: "You traitor, you have ruined the reputation of Lingtai Mountain for thousands of years!"

This short conversation directly received tens of thousands of likes from netizens.

Many cultivators who have just started practicing and are ready to consider joining the immortal sect have made it clear that they will not consider Lingtai Mountain. After all, a good immortal sect is important, but happiness is more important. For some cultivators who have developed a dependence on mobile phones, they are not allowed to play with their mobile phones one second, and they will turn black the next second.

At this moment, Lin Ye suddenly caught a glimpse of the avatar of the user nicknamed Changmei. At first glance, his expression was immediately stunned.

When he clicked it, he couldn't help but sigh: "Like! It's so similar!"

"Director, what do you mean by like? What do you mean by like?"

"Look at this person and see if he looks like Bodhi Patriarch." Lin Ye pointed to the avatar on the phone and said.

Following the direction of Lin Ye's finger, Yi Mou soon saw a man wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved Zen robe, a purple-gold lotus crown on his head, white hair, white beard, white eyebrows, a beard down to his chest, a compassionate look on his face, and an outstanding temperament, like a hermit.

Yi Mou's eyes lit up at a glance.

"Right! That's right! This is what I imagine Bodhi Patriarch to look like!"

"Director, who is he? If possible, I would like to invite him to play the role of Bodhi Patriarch."

At this moment, Yi Mou was eager to know the other party's identity.

However, Lin Ye looked strange when he heard his words.

"It may be difficult to invite this person. He is the head of Lingtai Mountain and a Mahayana cultivator."

"Ah? Mahayana cultivator!" Yi Mou was stunned when he heard the words Mahayana cultivator.

When the immortals are secluded, the Mahayana cultivators are the top combat power in the entire Tianyuan Continent. Each of them is extremely noble and admired by thousands of people.

It sounds a bit unrealistic to invite a Mahayana cultivator to be an actor.

However, just when he thought that this matter would most likely be left unresolved, Lin Ye spoke again.

"Then again, it is not necessarily impossible to invite him. We can go to Lingtai Mountain to shoot the scenes of Fangcun Mountain."

"Ah? We have to go to their sect to shoot. Is this really possible?" Yi Mou asked uncertainly.

"Of course, Mahayana cultivators are also human beings, and they have desires and needs. What do you think this Changmei Venerable needs?"

"This..."

"Of course, it is necessary to change the reputation of Lingtai Mountain. As the head of a sect, it is impossible not to hope that his sect will last for thousands of years. You have also seen the video just now. The current reputation of Lingtai Mountain has been severely damaged."

"But if we choose the filming location of Journey to the West there and invite Changmei Venerable to play the role of Sun Wukong's master Bodhi Patriarch, once the second episode of Journey to the West is broadcast, Changmei Venerable and his Lingtai Mountain will definitely be very popular, and it is not impossible to become the most popular sect in the entire Tianyuan Continent."

"In the future, they can not only receive more disciples, but also set up scenic spots to generate income, killing two birds with one stone."

After Lin Ye's analysis, Yi Mou suddenly realized.

"Use your phone now to send a private message to this Changmei Venerable, telling him that because of his extraordinary temperament and great reputation, he is now specially invited to play the role of Bodhi Patriarch, the Great Awakening Golden Immortal in Journey to the West."

"Okay, director, I understand." After saying that, Yi Mou hurriedly followed Lin Ye's request and sent a private message to Changmei Venerable.

At the same time, Changmei Venerable, who was listening to an audio novel and practicing in the Lingtai Mountain Master's Hall, suddenly caught a glimpse of a message popping up on his Tianji II Zhizhen Edition.

Picking up the phone and taking a look, a trace of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.

"Journey to the West crew? Specially invited actor? Bodhi Patriarch?"

After a moment of hesitation, he hurriedly called out to the door:

"Qingquan, come in, I have a few questions for you, what is this actor?"

A few minutes later, after listening to his own disciple explain the meaning of the actor, Changmei Venerable's expression changed again and again.

"So this TV series is very popular?"

"Yes! It's super popular. It can be said that few people in the entire Tianyuan Continent don't know about it. I heard that many people went to the island where the Huaguoshan scene was filmed. Even the little monster who played Sun Wukong is now famous." The disciple named Qingquan explained.

"I see." The long-browed venerable nodded. "Then if I become an actor, will I also become popular and famous throughout the Tianyuan Continent?"

"Hmm? Master, you want to be an actor?"

"Yes, the crew of Journey to the West just sent me a private message. They said that I am quite similar to Bodhi Patriarch. In fact, I think so too."

As he said that, he turned on the front camera of his phone.

"As expected, the role of Bodhi Patriarch belongs to me."

"Well, I will reluctantly agree to their request, so that I can experience the feeling of being a star."

"What is the name of the word that is very popular on Douyin recently? Oh, it's called debut, entering the Tao, practicing Taoism, debut, anyway, it's all Taoism."

As he said this, he immediately replied to Yi Mou and agreed directly.

At the same time, he also agreed to the request of the Journey to the West crew to film in Lingtai Mountain, because he knew that this might be a good opportunity to make Lingtai Mountain famous.

Maybe he could even squeeze into the holy land because of this.

Not long after he made the decision, an entertainment news appeared on Douyin.

"The well-known Mahayana monk, the head of Lingtai Mountain, Changmei Zunzhe, officially joined the Journey to the West crew and will play the role of Bodhi Patriarch."

As soon as this news came out, the monks of Tianyuan Continent were immediately in an uproar.

What is taking off the long gown? This is taking off the long gown.
