Liu Jingting was dreaming that he returned to his senior year and was taking a math exam in a large classroom.

When the invigilator distributed the test papers, he was still his high school math teacher. After the test papers were distributed, he became Professor Cao from Vientiane Academy. Professor Cao told everyone with a serious face that anyone who dared to cheat in this exam will be disqualified from being a student.

Liu Jingting had no time to listen to Professor Cao's speech, so he quickly browsed the test paper. Then he found that he could not do any question. He adopted the strategy of "put the difficult questions first, try to finish the questions he could do". As a result, he could not do any question from the beginning to the end. At this time, the classmates around him were already filling in the test paper quickly.

Liu Jingting started sweating in the dream. He used most of the draft paper, but didn't write a single word. At this time, he found a classmate sitting in front of him was reading a cheat sheet, looking at him mockingly while looking at him, and his expression seemed to be saying: "I don't think the cheat sheet will be caught by the teacher, you can watch it dryly."

Then, the invigilator who became someone else walked up to him and said, "Do you want to cheat?" As he said that, he began to knock on his desk with his hands, making a thumping sound, and yelled while knocking, "Look at his own test paper."

Liu Jingting suddenly woke up and found it was a dream. He felt relieved. Then he heard someone knocking on his door, and Aunt Qing's voice sounded outside.

Liu Jingting hurriedly got up and went to open the door. He saw Aunt Qing wearing pajamas, her hair was curled up in a bun and wrapped around her head.

"What's wrong with Aunt Qing?" Liu Jingting asked.

Xu Qing didn't answer and handed him the phone directly.

After reading it, Liu Jingting woke up a lot and frowned and said, "Why did this notice suddenly come out?"

Xu Qing sneered: "Look at Wu Qiguang's mini blog again."

Of course, Liu Jingting didn't need to look at it. He immediately understood, calculated the time a little, and said, "It's time."

"Then the plan will be disrupted."

"The impact is not great. I will mention the broadcast time of the first episode to September 5th, and there will be three days to digest. Then we will just make another promotional video."

“What is the promotional video?”

"I chose a few exciting shots I took before, such as the East China Sea, the Battle of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the Peach Banquet, the Heavenly Palace, etc. I will take a few more photos of the others based on my memory."

Xu Qing frowned, thought for a while, and said, "When will the news be announced?"

"It's mid-August, I'll write out the theme song first."

"Have you thought about the topic?" Xu Qing was surprised.

Liu Jingting smiled and nodded.

There is no doubt that the few important music that Liu Jingting wants to use is still from the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", and the planned songs, including "Journey to the West Overture", which can instantly ignite the opening song of "Gaochao" of his peers. Once upon a time, as long as this song sounds, it is difficult to find a child in countless villages in China, because everyone knows that "Journey to the West" has begun.

In that era, not only were children fascinated by it, but even adults could not extricate themselves. In order to watch "Journey to the West" in a hurry, they would cook in advance and would rush home from the fields in advance.

The scene where more than a dozen adults and children gathered together to watch "Journey to the West" was one of the most indelible childhood memories of Liu Jingting's generation.

In terms of influence, replay rate, the highest number of viewers and the number of viewers, "Journey to the West" is the well-deserved king, which is incomparable to "The Legend of the New White Snake" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

"The opening song is a lyrics-free overture and will be played by orchestral instruments. At that time, I will tell the idea to the professionals, and they should understand, and I will talk about the ending song first."

Liu Jingting brought out the ending song of "Journey to the West" to Xu Qing for the written "Where is the Way".

"You carry the load. I lead the horse

Welcome the sunrise and send off the sunset

Strip the bumps and become the road

…”

Liu Jingting looked at the lyrics and sang softly subconsciously. Xu Qing glanced at him with a squint eyes and commented: "It's very relevant to the topic."

"Of course." Liu Jingting responded without any doubt.

"Then do it like that."

In addition to "The Overture of Journey to the West" and "Where is the Way", Liu Jingting can remember other songs such as "Daughter's Love", "Why Must the West Rifts Away" and so on.

Every song is a story. Every song is a memory.

...

Liu Jingting discussed the plan with Xu Qing and explained it to Gong Chengpin again. After hearing this, Gong Chengpin did not raise any questions and made arrangements directly according to Liu Jingting's suggestions.

Although filming "Journey to the West" has the intention to create new viewing records, it is equally important to complete the above tasks.

In fact, filming of film and television dramas is never done step by step, one episode or one section in order, but is arranged according to different factors such as time, place, and actors. This is why the first shot of some movies may be the middle or the last content of the story.

The filming of "Journey to the West" should have been like this, but since the script after the TV series has not yet been released, it cannot be adapted to local conditions. At present, it is mainly the previous three episodes, especially the first episode. A necessary condition for doing so is that the person in charge of the filming must be very clear about the whole story. Liu Jingting obviously has this condition, and it is unusually good. Because he is fully responsible for the filming process, "Journey to the West" can try to avoid unnecessary shots.

In other words, Liu Jingting can make accurate post-production predictions while filming. For a new director, this is a very amazing skill. Other experienced assistant directors or staff members of the crew have secretly discussed many times.

After the temporary adjustment of the shooting plan was completed, Liu Jingting communicated with Gong Chengpin about the theme song. Gong Chengpin did not hesitate and took out a phone call on the spot to contact the relevant band.

Although Gong Chengpin, who followed along the way, was relatively silent, he knew clearly every detail of the shooting work. He knew deeply how much budget Liu Jingting saved him, and there was a kind of cooperation called "nothing to say."

Liu Jingting expressed his sincere appreciation for Gong Chengpin's execution ability.

For someone who has watched "Journey to the West" more than ten times, it is not difficult to make a promotional video.

In addition to the exciting shots that have been taken, Liu Jingting spent less than a week to shoot additional clips such as "The Kingdom of Women", "Three Fights of the Bone Demon", and "Real and False Monkey King". Because of the glimpse of the scenes and the dialogue between the characters, even Xu Qing could not fully connect these stories. However, everyone still completed the shooting with quality and quantity according to Liu Jingting's requirements.

Liu Jingting marked the selected fragments one by one with the requirements and details, and then handed them over to the technical team.

On August 10, the promotional video of "Journey to the West" was released.

From the moment Sun Wukong broke out and the backs of the four masters and disciples disappeared into the sunset, the trailer in just two minutes included more than ten exciting scenes: Sun Wukong was drunk and fucked in the Peach Garden, secretly ate Laojun's fairy pill, shaped the flag of the Monkey King, Nezha fought against Sun Wukong, and the words "Brother of the Imperial Brother" of the Kingdom of Women who made everyone feel inexplicable but ecstatic...

Even the crew and the actors were overwhelmed with anticipation.

On August 11, Liu Jingting posted a music link on his personal microblog, without any text content. After clicking in and listening, everyone immediately guessed that the song was related to "Journey to the West", but they could not understand its significance further.

However, members of Wu Qiguang's team laughed: "Do you want to use a song to fool the acceptance team?"
Chapter completed!
