We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?
Chapter 176 Casting for Journey to the West
This announcement came along with the release of the announcement.
The entire internet is in an uproar.
Countless editors and bloggers have already started writing articles, preparing to spread the news and get the attention as soon as possible.
Some savvy editors knew that a Yang Jian chapter would inevitably be published in "The Myth," and had even prepared similar press releases long ago, which could be published directly with just a few minor modifications.
It didn't take long.
The topic of Yang Jian's side story has spread like wildfire online, causing a huge uproar.
[A brand new dungeon for "Mythology" is coming soon! And the protagonist of this dungeon is...!]
[Erlang Shen, the Manifesting Saint! Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun! The Leader of Guanjiang Estuary! The Yang Jian Dungeon is Here!]
[Havoc in Heaven before the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong! The story of Yang Jian, the founder of Havoc in Heaven, is now open!]
[Controlling floods and slaying demonic dragons! Carrying mountains to chase the sun! Splitting mountains to save his mother! Let's enter the instance together! Experience the legendary life of Erlang Shen Yang Jian.]
[Lin Dong, the Fast-Paced Genius, recounts the incredible update speed of "Myth".]
[Top 100 in the competition! Priority access to dungeons!]
One headline after another.
One trending topic after another.
It started to appear slowly.
As the only being in the mythology who can rival the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen Yang Jian naturally enjoys unparalleled popularity.
Upon seeing Dongqing's announcement, countless people were in an uproar.
Especially the experts in the competition, they were all stunned for a moment, and then the flames in their eyes ignited.
After all, who wouldn't want to enter the dungeon early if the top 100 could?!
No one is going to let this opportunity slip by!
Qiao Liang's fingers flew across the screen as he read the official announcement word for word. He then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "See that, brothers! Priority entry! Only the top 100 get it! We have to go for it this time—!"
Not only Qiao Liang, but also Han Paopao, Liu Ruyan, Xiao Huohuo and many other masters, all had determined eyes and were filled with passion.
Players who were still fighting boss levels and those who were fighting in the Heavenly Palace were speeding up their progress, while those who had already finished were now flocking to the competitive matches after hearing the news.
"Holy crap, so many experts! When have I ever seen so many experts competing on the same stage?"
"Damn it, they're getting into the dungeon early! Anyone would rush in if they had that kind of power! If I had that kind of strength, I would too."
"Good heavens, only a hundred spots? This is going to be a bloodbath!"
"Unexpectedly, of the three major event dungeons in 'Myth,' the one with the highest popularity was the Arena, all because of the Yang Jian dungeon."
"That's Erlang Shen Yang Jian!!! Who wouldn't be excited?"
"Wow! That's amazing! The title of 'Quick Draw' is well-deserved! The efficiency of this dungeon in 'Myth' is just too fast! What other game can compare?"
"A quick draw? I'm dying of laughter. I wonder what Lin She's expression would be if he knew. Oh well, anyway, Lin She is awesome!!!"
"Waaaa, brothers, please help! What should I do if I can't break into the top 100?!"
"What else can we do? Just wait until the dungeon is fully open before entering! The top 100 in the arena, isn't that a battle of gods?"
"I cried. The way to get in was right in front of me, but I couldn't do it. Damn it."
"I do have a solution. During the Nezha instance, didn't many new accounts get randomly assigned to the Nezha instance? Maybe the Yang Jian instance will be the same."
"That's true... but the Innovation Account costs money. Can it be compared to the Nezha instance back then? That was right after the open beta had just started!"
"Aaaaaah! I don't care anymore! Let's go for the competitive matches!!!"
"rush!"
"rush!"
"..."
crazy.
All crazy.
Players were making a huge fuss on various trending topics.
In the game, they were all incredibly motivated, putting in a tremendous amount of effort.
Even players who see no hope at all flock to competitive matches to vent their frustrations.
For those players who have a chance to make it into the top 100, the competition is now even fiercer!
Everyone was on high alert, none of them willing to give way, and none of them wanted to miss this gathering.
The whole game was in an uproar at this moment.
……
……
And at the same time.
Zhongzhou.
Lin Dong and his group.
Lin Dong looked at the trending topics on his phone and couldn't help but smile.
Although they haven't returned yet, Yang Jian had already arranged this instance activity before setting off, and Mu Wanqing was also aware of it.
So even though he and Mu Wanqing are not in Dongqing now, the dungeon was still launched without any surprises and caused a stir across the internet.
Lin Dong scrolled through these trending topics, a look of surprise on his face.
He thought that, as is customary, some critics would emerge now, saying that he had lost his creative spark. But who has lost their creative spark with "The Myth"?
After all, Yang Jian's storyline and Sun Wukong's storyline actually have some similarities. Both of them wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, which is exactly what haters like to criticize.
To my surprise, after searching through it, I couldn't find anyone who criticized "The Myth".
This made Lin Dong sigh with emotion.
It has to be these two incredibly powerful young ladies in front of me. After several lessons, there are now very few people who dare to openly criticize "The Myth".
Not seeing Hei Zi was naturally a cause for celebration, and a smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Dong's face.
However, when he saw someone say that he was a quick shooter, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Casting is about to begin~ Junior, what are you looking at! Go get ready."
And at this time.
Lin Qiulin came to Lin Dong's side and excitedly began to speak.
They are currently at a film and television company, where they have begun casting for the TV series "Journey to the West"!
With the help of Lin Qiulin.
Lin Dong, as the author, and Mu Wanqing, representing Dongqing, participated in this casting process.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Thank you so much, senior."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong also got up and entered the room with Mu Wanqing and Lin Qiulin.
During this time, Mu Wanqing and Lin Qiulin kept a close eye on Lin Dong.
After all, Lin Dong had said he wanted to find more pretty girls. Although they knew Lin Dong might not mean it and it was just a literal meaning, the two of them still couldn't help but be on guard.
As for Lin Dong himself, he was indeed very curious and interested in the casting process. And in the film and television industry...
Mythology is a phenomenal game, and Journey to the West is a phenomenal novel.
Many actors were thrilled when they learned about the casting for "Journey to the West".
Many well-known actors are eager to get roles in "Journey to the West," because anyone who isn't stupid can see the potential of the series.
Once everyone had arrived, they all started talking amongst themselves.
“Sun Wukong is the protagonist, and his popularity is unparalleled. We must be extremely cautious about this role.”
"Of course, it's not just Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, but also the four of them as the main characters on the journey to the West, so they can't be treated hastily."
"Not only that, we also need to be careful about Erlang Shen Yang Jian. Although he doesn't have many scenes in the book, he is really too important."
"Indeed, the products related to Journey to the West, whether games or novels, are outstanding. Now that it's our turn to make a TV series, we can't be careless about any detail."
"..."
Although being able to film "Journey to the West" is a very joyful and wonderful thing for the director and everyone else.
However, the pressure they face is also immense.
After all, with such excellent games and novels preceding it, if the TV series doesn't turn out well, it would have to apologize to the entire nation.
Netizens across the country probably won't let them off the hook either. It's not as simple as a house collapse; they'll at least end up completely disgraced.
Not to mention this TV series, which the client also values highly.
Lin Dong watched the discussion with curiosity on his face and couldn't help but suggest, "If the lead actors can't be decided, I think it would be better to decide on the supporting roles first, and then find the important roles later after the other roles are finalized."
Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, everyone looked at him, nodded, and echoed his sentiments.
"Mr. Lin is right, we can finalize the other roles first."
"Haha, Mr. Lin, as the author of the novel, please give us your opinions on the casting later."
"Yes, yes, as a novelist, Mr. Lin, you should know Journey to the West the most."
If they were ordinary novelists, these people certainly wouldn't care so much, and might even ignore it.
But Lin Dong is different. As the creator of "The Myth" and "Journey to the West", anyone who knows Lin Dong knows that he is simply a legend.
These people naturally dared not neglect their duties.
To be honest, Lin Dong sitting here today made everyone feel a sense of relief.
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong exchanged a few polite words, displaying utmost humility and courtesy.
Mu Wanqing and Lin Qiulin sat on either side of Lin Dong, their faces full of smiles but they didn't say a word.
Soon, casting began.
Countless actors also compete for roles.
The most attention-grabbing aspect is naturally the casting of the actor who plays Sun Wukong.
Of course, there were also many beautiful girls, and Lin Dong was dazzled by them.
Several bold girls were even excited when they saw Lin Dong and wanted to ask him for his autograph.
Lin Dong certainly wouldn't refuse such a small request.
Mu Wanqing and Lin Qiulin watched with gritted teeth.
To be honest, many actors are not as good-looking as these two young ladies, especially given their unique charm.
However, as young ladies from wealthy families, they certainly couldn't participate in filming.
Lin Dong just watched the director conduct the casting interviews without saying a word or offering any opinions.
It wasn't until someone interviewing Yang Jian appeared that his expression froze for a moment, revealing a look of astonishment.
Because the actor is so handsome, he looks extremely similar to an actor named Jiao Enjun on Earth.
Lin Dong couldn't help but chat about the actor. He learned from the director that the actor was extremely talented, but due to an accident, he hadn't appeared on the big screen for two years, and his popularity had declined.
Lin Dong nodded in agreement and said nothing more.
At first, he thought it was just an accident and didn't pay much attention to it.
It wasn't until an actor dressed as a monkey came to cast the role that Lin Dong's expression froze again.
"Hello teachers, I'm Zhang Lai, here to audition for the role of Sun Wukong."
Our Zhang family is a family of monkey kings. This monkey show has been passed down for countless years. I started learning from my father when I was six years old, and I have never slacked off over the years. No one has a deeper affection for monkeys than we do.
After reading "Journey to the West", I really like "Journey to the West" and I also like the Monkey King Sun Wukong in it.
The Monkey King in Journey to the West is such a wonderful character; he's definitely the most spirited monkey I've ever seen. That's why I dream of playing Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.
After listening to Zhang Lai's words, the director on stage smiled and said, "Hello, Zhang Lai, I noticed that your resume doesn't list any works you've appeared in. Could you please introduce yourself?"
Zhang Lai shook his head upon hearing this:
"I have never acted in a movie or TV series before, but if I were to play a monkey, I believe I would be no worse than anyone else."
The directors and the others were all stunned when they heard Zhang Lai's words.
Has never acted in a movie or TV series? Yet he wants to compete for the role of Sun Wukong?
Isn't this just a newcomer?
Even the director couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.
Just as he was about to speak again, Lin Dong, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "In that case, could you please perform a piece?"
Lin Dong's voice wasn't loud, but it stunned everyone present.
The director and assistant director exchanged a glance. Although they felt that it was too risky to let an actor with no film and television experience try out for the lead role, they naturally had no objections since Lin Dong had spoken up.
"Of course, thank you, teacher."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lai's expression lit up, and he quickly replied.
After some thought.
He was dressed in a simple theatrical costume, clutching a homemade "golden cudgel," and when he opened his mouth, he imitated the monkey's high-pitched voice: "Here comes Old Sun—"
Seeing Zhang Lai's performance, Lin Dong's expression immediately lit up.
This actor not only portrayed Sun Wukong vividly, but also perfectly captured the arrogance of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace and the composure of protecting Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West.
Next, Zhang Lai began to show off his skills with the staff and his martial arts prowess.
The director and the others were also stunned when they saw this.
Even they could see that this person was quite capable.
He is indeed suitable to play Sun Wukong.
"Great!" Lin Dong couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and stood up excitedly.
It seems this wasn't an accident, but rather another world, another version of them. If that's the case, then wasn't it destined?
Lin Dong clapped his hands: "I think it's good."
The room fell silent after those words were spoken.
No one expected that this inexperienced actor would actually gain Lin Dong's approval.
Zhang Lai's eyes instantly reddened, and she bowed deeply to Lin Dong: "Thank you, President Lin, thank you so much."
