All-rounder Artist

The secret rehearsals for the concert were underway, with the specifics of the performances not revealed in advance.

During this process, Lin Yuan did not only rehearse the songs, but also customised some special shoes for his dance performance...

He would perform Michael Jackson’s dances like the Moonwalk at the concert.

No further explanation is required here for Michael Jackson’s status in the world of Earth entertainment.

He is a top-tier entertainer of the Earth’s entertainment industry.

The Moonwalk, one of the dances of this top-tier entertainer, is familiar to countless people.

Among them.

Michael Jackson has one dance move that’s out of this world!

He is able to perform a dance move tilted at a forty-five-degree angle!

When this dance move first appeared, it shocked the world with countless people asking:

How did he do it?

Surely even Newton is spinning in his grave!

The answer is:

Even though he was a world-class superstar, it was impossible for a normal human being to achieve a forty-five-degree tilt without external support and defy gravity.

To explain humorously:

Yes, Michael Jackson cheated sometimes.

The secret lay in the shoes.

It was a pair of special shoes.

The heel of the shoe had a recess, specifically designed to latch onto a fixed point on the floor.

Once latched on, the performer could lean forward forty-five degrees without falling.

However, at a concert’s stage performance, it takes time to locate the exact spot and quickly connect, so when Michael Jackson was looking for the spot, he would use some light and shadow effects and intersperse other performances to divert the audience’s attention, allowing the performer to make other operations under these disguises.

Of course, he could directly adjust his position and design scenarios that make his behavior appear reasonable.

These setups all require backstage control to create a smooth scene transition for the best results.

For this, Michael Jackson even applied for a patent.

If anyone thinks that they can perform this move with just these shoes, they are naive.

Having the shoes alone is far from enough.

When the body’s center of gravity leans forward, the waist supports all the force!

The performer needs strong back muscles.

In addition, the strength of the legs is highly demanded.

So without training, it can’t be imitated. Even Michael Jackson has made mistakes during his concert performances.

Lin Yuan, thanks to System, could perform this move which would be impossible for him to do without it.

Even if he knew the principle of it, it would still be impossible.

For Lin Yuan, this was like a magic trick for the audience.

After solving the mystery of the magic, it may not seem special, but the first time everyone witnesses this magic trick, they will definitely experience the shock of their perceptions being overturned!

It’s hard for ordinary people to figure out the principle in an instant.

Of course.

This was just one of the little surprises Lin Yuan prepared for the concert.

The appearance of the Moonwalk was more lethal than the forty-five-degree tilt, as the tilt relied on props, whereas the Moonwalk purely relied on skill.

On Blue Star, a similar dance style has not yet appeared.

Not to mention, for this dance, Lin Yuan even prepared a new song, an original piece by Michael Jackson himself!

...

Meanwhile, while Lin Yuan was secretly preparing for the concert.

The TV drama "Journey to the West" was also airing at a pace of one episode per day.

By the third episode,

as Monkey Sun wreaks havoc in the Heavenly Court, the internet completely blew up!

The special effects were off the charts!

In every frame, viewers could practically hear the sound of money being burned!

There were scenes of the earth shattering!

The sun and the moon lost their light!

Every combat scene was so extravagant to the point of absurdity!

Even for supporting roles, the production team did not skimp at all, reaching the peak with electrifying and stunning effects!

People who read "Journey to the West" have countless times imagined the scene of the Heavenly Court battle, and in this TV show, it has been perfectly restored and presented!

The popularity of this show completely spread across the five continents!

Streets and alleys were filled with countless people discussing.

Even the vendors in the market couldn’t help but bring up the latest episode of the Journey to the West television drama that was broadcast the previous night as they opened their stalls in the morning!

"I am Sun Wukong!"

"Take this blow from yours truly!"

Even the children playing house in school have transitioned from narratives like Snow White to Journey to the West.

Every day, there were a bunch of rambunctious kids quarrelling over who gets to play the role of Sun Wukong.

They delightedly imitated Sun Wukong’s movements, not finding it embarrassing at all.

"Heh!"

Some boys growled from their throats and energetically scratched their faces, as if they were home to a tuft of peach-shaped monkey hair.

Other boys had their right hands perched near their left ears, striking a looking-out-into-the-distance pose. @@novelbin@@

Moreover, some boys picked up branches pretending they were golden cudgels and flailed them about, only to end up being spanked by their parents...

The children were all imitating the classic postures of Sun Wukong.

Every household on Blue Star contained a computer.

Many people have the ability to follow dramas online.

If there is no internet, and one is forced to watch it on television, perhaps then the broadcast of this drama would recreate a scenario seen on Earth where everyone is glued to their screens.

Worth mentioning is...

The distinction between Lin Yuan’s version of "Journey to the West" and that of the CCTV lies in its more systematic nature.

The original’s strength level was rather all over the place.

Sun Wukong’s performance of strength seemed to fluctuate inconsistently.

After all, the emphasis of that drama wasn’t on how powerful Sun Wukong was.

Lin Yuan strives for meticulousness when setting the performance levels for the Journey to the West, therefore he created an invisible chart for the characters, dictating who was stronger and who was weaker based on their initially set corresponding performance level.

Even if Sun Wukong encounters demons that he couldn’t defeat, Lin Yuan would come up with an excuse to get himself out of the dilemma.

Of course.

In the early stages, Sun Wukong basically had no competitors. Although Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court, Lin Yuan didn’t script the Jade Emperor being afraid and hiding under a table.

This doesn’t comply with the original.

In the original, it wasn’t as if Sun Wukong threw the entire Heavenly Court into terror, it can only be said that a great majority of the gods felt apprehensive at the sight of this monkey.

Punching through the Heavenly Court?

Even with Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong couldn’t do it.

In Lin Yuan’s design, the Jade Emperor is simply the Jade Emperor, with his reputation off the charts.

Even if the gods couldn’t restrain Monkey Sun, the Jade Emperor losing composure wouldn’t appear.

Speaking of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord...

Lin Yuan also designs him to be more mysterious and inscrutable.

In the scene where Sun Wukong is refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Lin Yuan implies through some shots that the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord has profound intentions and his goal is not to kill Sun Wukong.

Additionally.

When Sun Wukong confronts the Heavenly Court, Lin Yuan also arranges for Bodhi to secretly assist Sun Wukong.

This leads to the Buddha taking action.

In the CCTV version without Bodhi’s help, it was indeed in the CCTV’s animated version of "Journey to the West" where Bodhi secretly assisted Sun Wukong.

Lin Yuan thought this point in the animated version was well-designed, so he adopted it.

In summary:

This is a television drama that both children would love and adults would not find childish, and it even provokes thought.

Lin Yuan filmed various metaphors without any explicit explanation, trusting that the audience would understand, since the world’s viewers are indeed very good at reading between the lines.

And indeed it is.

During the broadcast of this drama, while everyone is admiring the special effects and smooth plot, there are also countless people discussing the underlying metaphors in some of the shots and getting goosebumps.

The Journey to the West television drama has become a phenomenal success!

At this moment.

People haven’t forgotten...

Xian Yu’s concert is set to begin in a few days!

On the internet.

While countless people are discussing Journey to the West, more and more people have started discussing Xian Yu’s upcoming concert happening in a few days.
