Lin Yuan was responsible for the casting of Journey to the West.
There are many versions of "Journey to the West" in the system, which makes it easier to refer to and know what type of actor is suitable for what role.
but…
No one expected this.
The first character that Lin Yuan decided on was not the four disciples of Tang Monk, but...
Roaring Sky Dog!
no way!
Antarctica is addicted to drama!
After filming "Hachiko: A Dog's Story", Antarctica has actually been receiving announcements.
But Lin Yuan only arranged one advertisement for Nan Ji and never let Nan Ji show up in public again.
My sister even complained that Lin Yuan shouldn't have put a good actor like Nan Ji on the shelf.
My sister even told Lin Yuan that she wanted to be Nan Ji's agent...
Now that they were about to film "Journey to the West", Lin Yuan thought of this and decided on the actor for the role of Roaring Sky Dog.
Antarctica, get out of the mountains!
The company naturally has no objection to this.
And at this time.
In the film and television industry.
Many actors also learned about the casting news for "Journey to the West".
Obviously.
It is impossible for Star Entertainment alone to internally handle so many characters in "Journey to the West".
Therefore, many actors are eager to contact their agents, hoping to get roles in TV dramas.
The most concerned issue is the actor who will play the role of Sun Wukong.
"Sun Wukong is the male protagonist. This character is definitely the most popular!"
"Although the TV series of Journey to the West is not as attractive as Fengshen, Journey to the West has official endorsement, and the TV series may also receive official promotion in the future. If this is added, playing this role will definitely be beneficial to future development!"
"This role will probably be reserved for Xingmang's own actor, right?"
"Then why don't we try to win over Tang Seng?"
"It's OK to play Yang Jian."
"Yang Jian is boring, he has too few scenes, and he's not like the Yang Jian in 'Hong Huang', he's the male lead."
"… "
What kind of actor corresponds to what kind of role.
For example, some comedians really want to play the role of Zhu Bajie.
Even though Zhu Bajie is a pig, he is the third male lead.
Although this statement is strange, Zhu Bajie is indeed the third male character in "Journey to the West".
Tang Seng is the second male lead.
In this way, Xingmang feels comfortable.
Qin Qi Chu Yan, countless actors' information was placed on Lin Yuan's desk.
Lao Zhou patted his chest and said, "You can pick any of these actors. I will be responsible for negotiating with them."
That's very comfortable.
Lin Yuan was almost happily playing the player selection game.
"The White Bone Demon is a femme fatale with a kind of enchanting beauty. Of course, I have to choose Zhou Xue."
Zhou Xue had previously worked with Lin Yuan in "The Piano Tuner". In that movie, the heroine played by Zhou Xue made the audience hate her so much.
"Yang Jian, let Liu Zhengwen come."
Liu Zhengwen is the leading male star of "The Tuner". His career once plummeted, but he returned to the public eye because of Xianyu.
The other person has a handsome appearance, and his style is similar to that of a person named Jiao Enjun on Earth.
It fits Lin Yuan’s imagination of Yang Jian.
This role is very important.
Because Lin Yuan has some film and television works related to Yang Jian ready to shoot in the future.
"The Jade Emperor can only be Zhang Xiuming."
Zhang Xiuming and Lin Yuan have collaborated on the film "Hachiko: A Dog's Story", in which he played the leading male role and moved countless audiences.
He is the most famous actor among the Stars, has won the Best Actor Award, and has played the emperor more than once in his early years, so it is perfect for him to play the Jade Emperor.
Although this role has few lines and most movie stars would not take it, firstly, the actor himself is easy to talk to, and secondly, Lin Yuan has a decent personal relationship with the other party, so it is not a big problem.
…
And when Lin Yuan was appointing his generals.
Backstage of a theater in Qinzhou.
An actor with a monkey face is removing his make-up.
After removing his makeup, the actor smiled and said, "Little sister, bring me Journey to the West. We're going to read the classical Chinese version today."
"Still watching?"
The woman next to him smiled and said, “How many times have you read this book since it was released?”
"You don't understand."
The actor said seriously, "Our Ren family is a family of monkey kings. This monkey show has been passed down for countless generations. I, Ren Yan, have been learning from my father since I was six years old. I have never slacked off for many years. No one has a deeper affection for monkeys than us. The image of the Monkey King Sun Wukong in Journey to the West is really wonderful. This is definitely the most spiritual monkey. So I dream of arranging a play for Sun Wukong. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to buy the relevant copyright from Chu Kuang."
"We are monkey performers, so we definitely can't make as much money as movie and TV actors. Even if you are known as the Little Monkey King in the industry, our industry is still a niche industry after all."
The woman next to him laughed and said:
"But I have to say that Journey to the West is really amazing. After the novel was released, the number of people who came to the theater to watch our monkey show increased by two or three times compared to before..."
“This is the charm of classic novels!”
Ren Yan said with a burning gaze, "I believe that in ten years, Sun Wukong's influence will be even more terrifying. Before that, I must find a way to obtain the copyright for the drama adaptation of Journey to the West!"
The woman sighed, "I think you want to play the Monkey King."
After saying that.
The woman suddenly said, "Isn't Journey to the West going to be made into a TV series recently? I wonder which big star will play the role of Sun Wukong in the end. If you ask me, no one in the entire Blue Planet can play the role of the monkey better than you!"
Ren Yan smiled bitterly: "I'm not a celebrity, how can I play the Monkey King in the TV series?"
Doesn’t he want to play the role of Sun Wukong
But he is just a small monkey performer. Apart from those who like to watch monkey shows, who knows him
"I just said that casually."
The woman suddenly said with some difficulty: "By the way, the rent of the theater should be paid..."
Ren Yan was silent.
A few minutes later, he smiled and said, "Recently, the audience has increased a lot. I made some money, so it's not a big problem."
The woman stared at him and said, "Are you really rich? How about I give you this month's salary first?"
Ren Yan shook his head: "Even if I sell my monkeys, I can't take your money."
The woman teased, "Selling monkeys, isn't that going to cost you your life?"
Ren Yan also laughed.
Monkeys are his life.
To him, monkeys are not just animals, but also partners and teammates.
Just at this moment.
There was a sudden noise at the door.
The woman stood up and looked, then said nervously, "The theater owner is coming, and there are quite a few people following him."
Ren Yan was startled, and quickly stood up and looked at the boss who was leading the group:
"Boss, I'm trying to figure out how to pay for the theater's rent this quarter..."
"rent?"
The boss smiled and said, "Little Monkey King, what are you talking about? We are so close, why should we talk about rent? I will waive the rent for this quarter. I hope you can take good care of my small theater in the future!"
Ren Yan was confused.
The woman next to her was also confused.
This week, Ba Pi was clamoring for a rent increase yesterday, so why is he so generous today that he wants to waive a quarter's rent
“Let me introduce you to it!”
The boss smiled and said, "These are teachers from Sucheng Xingmang Entertainment. I guess I don't need to introduce the one next to me, right?"
Ren Yan subconsciously looked at the person next to the boss.
This is a young man with a slender figure.
If we don’t talk about the filtered faces of celebrities on TV, this young man’s appearance is definitely the best that Ren Yan has ever seen in his life!
But why does it feel so familiar...
"ah!"
The woman next to Ren Yan suddenly screamed, her red face filled with excitement and joy:
"Fish Daddy!"
"Hello, I'm Xianyu."
The young man smiled at the woman, then looked at Ren Yan: "Have you read Journey to the West?"
Ren Yan was stunned.
He finally understood why the other party looked so familiar!
Because this person is Xianyu!
Lan Xing Xiaoqu’s father is also the screenwriter of the TV series “Journey to the West”!
He came to me...
Ren Yan's heart suddenly started pounding wildly, and for a moment he even forgot to answer the other person's question.
At this time, Xianyu's eyes fell on the book "Journey to the West" on the table:
"There's no need to answer this question. Let's move on to the next one..."
"Would you like to audition for the role of Sun Wukong?"
