"Think about it, how to solve it, or is it still like the traditional way? After the four monks of Tang Dynasty took and sealed the scriptures from the West, was that just the end?"

  It's not just the previous life on Earth, even in this world's old version of "Journey to the West", the final solution was also like this, and later added a sequel after returning to the dynasty.

  Since I'm writing the script, how can I be limited by the past? I must come up with new ideas, but how do I come up with new ideas? There's nothing to say about the plot of the original "Journey to the West", or else create a new plot. Su Xichen fell into deep thought, in fact, the best ending is an open-ended one, just like "Inception", an ending that sparked countless discussions among netizens, so he was thinking whether he should also give "New Journey to the West" an open-ended ending.

  With an idea in mind, Su Rui Chen took out the draft and set an open ending for "New Journey to the West", but no matter how he set it, it didn't seem quite right.

  "The open ending based on a small setting can't resonate with people, otherwise it would be directly set up as a suspenseful plot point in the overall setting?" Speaking of the overall setting of "Journey to the West", that is, the entire journey's catalyst, but this seems to have no room for suspense.

  "Right, I remember reading a book about the Primordial Chaos that generally only wrote up to the Fourth Calamity of Heaven and Earth, but that one actually wrote out the Fifth Calamity of Heaven and Earth, which is also known as the Second Sealing of the Gods."

  In general, there was no concept of a second seal of the gods, so this is an innovation of that book.

  "The Journey to the West is called the fourth great calamity of heaven and earth, this calamity not only targets Taoism, but also targets the demon tribe. Think about it, Sun Wukong obtained the scriptures from the west, killing countless demons along the way. Most importantly, Sun Wukong himself was a member of the demon tribe, which means he used the hands of the demon tribe to weaken the demon tribe itself, without having to bear any karma."

  "In the ending, this point can be brought up, and at the same time, it's also possible to mention the fifth Heaven and Earth Calamity, which will definitely pique people's curiosity, making them wonder what the fifth Heaven and Earth Calamity is. Then, when they're fully focused on watching TV to get the answer, suddenly the grand finale appears, haha, that's right, it ends like this, in a climax."

  Su Zhe was extremely happy to think of a good idea for himself, thinking that those audiences would see the thrilling moment and suddenly come to an abrupt end, which would be absolutely like eating flies.

  Of course, there is another benefit to this. Due to the number of episodes in "New Journey to the West", it's not possible to show all these things, but his writing in "Desolate Era" doesn't have this concern, and can include the fifth Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, which is also the second time the gods were sealed away. This way, those who finish watching "New Journey to the West" with doubts and wanting to know more will buy the book, it's a plan that kills two birds with one stone.

  With a determined mind, it was done as if with divine assistance. Su Cheng finished the final episode of the script in no time. It took 28 days to complete the script, and this speed is a miracle wherever you go.

  In the evening, Yu Qiyuan returned from selecting actors.

  "Director Yu, the script is completely written, here it is for your review." A thick stack of scripts.

  Yu Qiyuan has already become immune to Su Shichen's speed, took over the script and browsed it at an extremely fast speed. The script was very wonderful, from Yu Qiyuan's attitude towards watching the script, it could be seen that he looked more and more serious, after flipping through the last page, but found that there was no more.

  "What's going on, what is the fifth catastrophe of heaven and earth after all? The first sealing of the gods was during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when did the second sealing of the gods mentioned in the script take place?" Even Director Lian Yuqi was very curious.

  "After the director finishes reading the script and is eager to know what happens next, it's natural that the rest of the audience will feel the same way."

  "The script initially introduced the concept of Tian Di Four Calamities, and as it progressed, it gradually revealed that the first calamity was the struggle for dominance among the three tribes of dragons, phoenixes, and qilins. The second calamity was the struggle between witches and demons, and the third great calamity was the War of the Gods. However, the fourth calamity was never mentioned, but in the end, it was unexpectedly revealed that Journey to the West itself is the fourth great calamity. This twist ending is already perfect, and basically no one could have thought of this point. There's no need to use the second封神 (Sealing of the Gods) as a sequel, or the fifth Tian Di Great Calamity as a lead-in, because that would be too abrupt an ending and might cause public outrage." Yu Qiyuan seems to have hit the nail on the head.

  "It's meant to provoke public outrage, otherwise how could 'The Desolate Era' be a bestseller."

  "Susu asked you if you want to write the second seal of the gods into the book 'Honghuang'." Susu nodded.

  "It's like this, the inverted ending plus an open ending will definitely cause a sensation and create a new high. Similarly, if 'Hong Huang' writes in the second sealing of the gods, the word count will reach over 500,000 words. With 500,000 words, it can be published into about five books, and the fifth book will be sold after the first round of 'New Journey to the West' is finished, using scarcity marketing."

  Su Xun Chen poured out all his thoughts.

  Although it sounds like this ending is just for the sale of "Huang Yu", in fact, when "Huang Yu" becomes popular, it will naturally boost the ratings of "New Journey to the West". After all, the original intention of "Huang Yu" was to create a background book for "New Journey to the West", which can also be said to be two cicadas on the same string.

  Yu Qiyuan thought for a moment and agreed to this ending method. "Vice Director Su, when is the second sealing of the gods? I don't have the patience to wait until the publication of 'Huang Huang'. Tell me roughly."

  It seems that Yu Qiyuan was indeed attracted by the script written by Su Rixing, otherwise there would not be such a question. This can also reflect the brilliance of the script from the side.

  "In fact, the second sealing of the gods was during Yue Fei's resistance against the Jin..."

  After searching in my mind, I finally found the name of that Honghuang Liu's work, "Hong Huang Xuan Song Dao". This work is also considered to be one of Honghuang Liu's masterpieces, after all, it wrote about the second sealing of the gods and integrated the battles between various schools of thought and Shu Mountain. As for Su Rixing, what he needs to do is to extract all these advantages.

  Yu Qiyuan listened with great interest as he slowly narrated.

  "Bang bang" The sudden sound of knocking on the door "It's Yu Dao, I've finished my part in another crew, now I can officially join the crew."

  Just by the sound, I knew it was Wang Zimo, who was deceived by Su Xichen yesterday and ran away without paying. After being deceived by Su Xichen yesterday, Wang Zimo became much more confident and proud.

  "The script of 'Little White Dragon' will be given to you, but your confidence has increased a lot in just one day." Yu Qiyuan looked somewhat surprised. Although Wang Zimo's acting skills were good, he had a major flaw - his personality was too shy and lacking in confidence, even to the point of being self-abasing. No matter how much Wang Ge encouraged him, it had no effect, which had always been a source of worry for Wang Ge. As one of Wang Ge's best friends, Yu Qiyuan naturally knew about this, but today's Wang Zimo had undergone a huge change. Although his face still showed some shyness, he was standing tall with confidence.

  "Yesterday, I heard Vice Captain Su's words and suddenly felt enlightened. I had been putting too much pressure on myself." Wang Zimo looked at Su Shicheng with grateful eyes.

  Su released her hand and said, "How dare you say that? Yesterday, you clearly agreed to meet me at the coffee shop for a cup of coffee, but in the end, you ran off by yourself, leaving me there. And I was the one who paid."

  "Ah!... Sorry, sorry!" Wang Zimo suddenly became tense again, repeatedly apologizing, it seems that the little recipient's personality is not so easy to change.

  "Susu thought you had the potential to be a life coach" This sentence is indeed Yu Qiyuan's true heart, I don't know how many psychologists Wang Ge invited to guide Wang Zimo, but it didn't alleviate at all, and instead became more and more severe.

  It was because of this that Wang Ge didn't dare ask for a psychologist again, it can be said to be a huge problem, but unexpectedly he was comforted by Su Xichen, which can be described as a dream come true.

  Divide the script first, and each character's script must be separated individually.

  However, these tasks don't require Su Shi to do it personally, the crew will handle them. The most important thing today is to recruit the main actors, Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

  In the old version, Sun Wukong was really a hairy face with a thunder mouth, his face was covered with hair, and his original appearance was completely invisible. Zhu Bajie was also like this, no matter how handsome the actor was, his face couldn't be seen clearly. So Su Rui Chen discussed with the makeup artist of the crew for a long time to avoid this situation.

  Finally, Su Rui Chen proposed a light makeup concept, just like Sun Wukong in "Dragon Ball", although the setting in the comic is Saiyan, but the author also said that in the character design borrowed from the Chinese classic "Journey to the West", where Sun Wukong is completely different from ordinary people, the only difference is that there is an extra tail, but later even the tail disappeared, and after transformation it becomes a giant ape.

  The Great Ape in Dragon Ball looked too ferocious, so I made the Lingming Stone Monkey, one of the four great spirits of the primordial chaos, more domineering and majestic, slowly revising its costume until it was finalized.

  The protagonist is different from other supporting actors, not everyone has the qualifications to audition, but Yu Qiyuan thinks which actor is suitable for the role and sends an invitation, then the actor comes to audition. Generally speaking, three or four actors compete for one role, Sun Wukong invited more than seven actors.

  These invited actors are all famous, especially the seven who were invited to play Sun Wukong, all of whom are top-notch actors. It's already not bad for a TV series to invite one of them, but "Journey to the West" has invited seven at once, which shows the strength of the production team and Yu Qiyuan's prestige.

  The invited guests include both powerful and idol groups. After a day of hard work by Yu Qiyuan, Su Xichen, Rong Zhen, and You Teng, the actors for Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Tang Seng, and Sha Heshang were finally settled.

  Sorry, there's only one update today. Xiao Mao is an emotional person and just had a disagreement with family members, feeling extremely down and having no mood to type at all. Really sorry about that.
