There was another reason for choosing Journey to the West:
The Journey to the West IP was enormous!
So big that many filmmakers only focus on making a film about the Great Sage Sun Wukong. Over and over, they made countless versions of the monkey, so much so that the monkey's 84,000 hairs were almost completely pulled out -
Let alone 84,000 hairs.
I'm afraid that even if you added the three life-saving hairs given to Sun Wukong by Guanyin Bodhisattva, it wouldn't be enough for those people to pluck.
And the audience keeps paying for it.
This attests to the influence of the monkey.
People simply can't get enough of it.
If it weren't so profitable, why would everyone compete with the monkey year after year.
Now everything has changed.
Blue Star doesn't have "Journey to the West".
All those monkey hairs, enough for Lin Yuan to pluck at leisure.
The prerequisite is that Lin Yuan must also build the influence of "Journey to the West".
This is undoubtedly a massive project.
