Chapter 128
Without any surprise, the second episode of Journey to the West is still very popular, with more than 5 million people watching online at the same time and more than 80 million total views, which means that some people have watched it more than once, which is only higher than the popularity of the first episode.
When the second episode of Journey to the West was broadcast, there were basically no people on the streets and alleys of major cities.
They either stayed in their own caves and practice rooms to watch the show, or gathered at the entrance of Sihai Pavilion and moved a small stool to rub against the large projection at the entrance of Sihai Pavilion.
When they saw Sun Wukong successfully learn various skills from Bodhi Patriarch, they would cheer in unison, and when the ending song sounded, they would shake their heads and sigh in unison.
"Oh! It's gone again. I have to wait until tomorrow."
"In the next episode, Sun Wukong will return to Huaguo Mountain to fight against the Demon King."
"Let's go, let's go back to watch the live broadcast after watching the TV series."
"After watching the live broadcast, I will play a few games, and then read some novels. Wow, this life is so comfortable. What did I think before."
"Brother Zhang, I have bought a 70-inch projector. You can come to my house to watch TV tomorrow. I also bought a refrigerator to cool some beer."
"Okay Ah! Drinking cold beer, watching TV, and making some side dishes, this is what a god's life is like. "
"God? Can gods watch Douyin? Do gods smoke?"
"I can live a god's life directly in the foundation-building period, saving hundreds of years of detours."
"Hahaha, that makes sense, that makes sense."
.....
At the same time, in the square of the Lingtai Mountain sect far away in the East Region, several disciples worked together to place a 100-inch projector just bought from the Douyin flagship store of Sihai Pavilion at the main entrance of the sect hall.
And right in front of the projector, all the disciples of Lingtai Mountain, whether they were inner disciples, outer disciples, or menial disciples, all sat cross-legged on cushions.
When everything was ready, a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall walked up to the long-browed venerable.
"Master, all the disciples of the seven peaks and six veins are here, not one less."
Hearing this, the long-browed venerable nodded slightly.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to start."
"Yes! Master!"
As soon as the voice fell, the Law Enforcement Hall disciple took out a mobile phone and connected it to the projector next to him.
Soon, the originally dark screen lit up, and then the melodious theme song of Journey to the West played.
That's right, the purpose of Changmei Zhenren gathering all the disciples of Lingtai Mountain here was only one, that is, to let them watch the movie together.
After the TV officially started playing, he also sat on a recliner next to him, smoking and watching TV.
Whenever his shot appeared, he watched it very seriously, and nodded from time to time to express his approval of his acting skills.
The Law Enforcement Hall disciple saw this and quickly winked at the other Law Enforcement Hall disciples next to him.
The next second they all applauded.
"Good! Master, you acted well!"
The whole audience burst into warm applause instantly.
"Who can tell the difference between the master and Bodhi Patriarch?"
"That's right, I don't think the master is acting, this is clearly Bodhi Patriarch himself."
"The master has a fairy-like appearance and a golden fairy-like appearance. I admire the master's acting skills."
"No wonder the crew of Journey to the West invited the master to play Bodhi Patriarch. Apart from the master, who else can have such temperament."
.....
Although Changmei Zhenren knew that this was his disciple flattering him, he was still very satisfied when he heard this, and his old face was full of smiles.
"It seems that being an actor is really interesting."
The disciples sitting below on the other side also stared at the screen seriously, but they were not staring at Changmei Zhenren, but looking for themselves.
"I saw myself, I saw myself. Just now Sun Wukong passed by me. The one breathing fire was me."
"I saw myself too. The one practicing boxing was me."
"Hahaha, the one climbing the tree was me. I was on TV too."
"Woo woo woo, why do I only have a back view?"
"It's fun to be an extra. I got 50 spirit stones. I wonder if I'll have another chance next time."
"Yeah, it would be great if I could have my own scenes and lines like the headmaster. I'll definitely be famous."
"If I have a chance, I must go to Jujing City to see if I can get a face actor. It doesn't matter if I get spirit stones or not. I just want to show my face."
......
As they were talking, everyone in Lingtai Mountain finished watching the second episode of Journey to the West, but soon replayed it again at the request of the long-browed venerable.
Then the third and fourth times.
By the fourth time, everyone had lost hope.
Fortunately, a disciple took the initiative to stand up with his mobile phone.
"Master, our Lingtai Mountain is on the hot search! And you are on the hot search too!"
As soon as these words came out, the long-browed venerable immediately stood up from the recliner.
"On the hot search? What's going on?"
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and opened Douyin.
Soon he found topics related to Lingtai Mountain in the hot search.
He was immediately happy when he saw it.
"The shooting scene of the second episode of Journey to the West is exposed, and it is actually in the East Region. The scenery here is amazing"
"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain actually exists, the place of immortality, the immortal cave"
"The Bodhi Patriarch is played by the Long-Eyebrowed Venerable. He is approaching the age of 1000 and is starting his acting career. It's never too late to start."
"On-screen, he is a world-famous expert, and off-screen, he is also a top-notch expert. He frankly said that he once received a palm from the devil without dying."
...
As soon as these topics came up, they directly heated up Lingtai Mountain and himself.
"I just finished watching the second episode. When I was watching it, I just wanted to say that the scenery of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain is really beautiful. I didn't expect it to be in our eastern region. I have to go and see it tomorrow."
"No wonder Journey to the West was filmed here. It turned out to be because of the scenery here. Not to mention that it is similar to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain recorded in the book."
"I want to go. Are there any fellow Taoists who want to go together tomorrow? Then I want to take the same photos as Sun Wukong at the place where Sun Wukong learned his skills."
"This Long-Eyebrowed Master is exactly the same as the Bodhi Patriarch in my mind. It would be great if I could take a photo with this old god."
"We have already gone to Huaguo Mountain, and we will go to Lingtai Mountain tomorrow!"
Suddenly, the fame of Lingtai Mountain and the Long-Eyebrow Master skyrocketed. Many monks expressed their desire to go to Lingtai Mountain to take photos and experience the place where Sun Wukong apprenticed and learned skills.
As for the negative impact of the previous revelation that Lingtai Mountain did not allow disciples to play with mobile phones, it was directly covered up.
"Okay, okay! This scene was not in vain. Now my reputation in Lingtai Mountain is probably greater than that of those holy places. In the future, no matter where I go, someone will recognize me."
"But if those foreign monks really come tomorrow, what should we do?"
Just when Lord Changmei looked worried, one of his disciples suddenly suggested:
"Master, this is a great opportunity for us in Lingtai Mountain to make a name for ourselves and earn spiritual stones."
"The disciple thinks that we can specially arrange some disciples to receive those monks from outside. Since they are here, they can't live without food and drink. We can set up a shop to sell some food and drink, as well as the sect's special elixirs. ”
"In addition, we can also seal off some places in the sect, especially scenes that have appeared in TV series. If you want to go in and take pictures, you can, but you must give spirit stones."
"We can also provide the clothes Sun Wukong wears during filming and rent them to take photos. The disciples even thought that we could arrange for a disciple to dress up as Sun Wukong and take photos with them."
"By the way, hang up a sign about the filming spots of Journey to the West at the door, and put the projector at the mountain gate to play the second episode of Journey to the West in a loop..."
The eyes of the Long-Eyebrow Master lit up as he listened.
"Okay! Just do as you say!"
.....
At the same time that Lingtai Mountain was gradually developing into a scenic tourist area, Lin Ye had already brought the Journey to the West crew to a place in the southern district of Giant Whale City.
Looking around, there is a brightly lit shop ahead, with a huge sign hanging at the door.
The signboard says - Sihai Food Stalls, and there is a line of small words next to it - barbecue, seafood, hot pot, skewers.
