It is actually understandable that Teacher Six does not like the script of "Journey to the West".
After all, he's not stupid.
In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong is the absolute protagonist, but in the script of "Journey to the West" written by Yue Guan, although Sun Wukong is also very brilliant and can be regarded as a rare shining point in the Lingshan series, he is obviously worse than Wutian. .
As for the Jade Emperor, although he has a small role, he steals a lot of scenes.
Therefore, even if Mr. Six plays Sun Wukong well, if the two actors who play Wu Tian and Jade Emperor perform well, he is bound to not get much praise.
Thinking about it this way, there's nothing wrong with saying no.
Since Yue Guan is so open-minded, Mo Xiangwan no longer hesitates: "If Teacher Six doesn't act, who will Sun Wukong look for?"
Yue Guan thought about it: "Since Teacher Six doesn't want to act, it's not a big problem to find anyone. Anyway, the audience doesn't go for the actors, but to watch the monkeys. Let's choose Ding Jian."
"Ding Jian?" Mo Xiangwan felt that the name sounded familiar and quickly realized: "The actor who played Sun Wukong in "Lotus Lantern"?"
"Yes, just let him continue acting."
"Isn't his popularity a bit too low, and he can't even be considered a third-tier actor?" Mo Xiangwan hesitated.
She didn't think that Sun Wukong must be played by a particularly popular star.
But he is also a nominal protagonist after all.
It can't be too shabby either.
Yue Guan smiled: "Sister Xiang Wan, don't underestimate Ding Jian. In fact, he was Teacher Six's substitute back then."
"Huh?" Mo Xiangwan really didn't know this.
"The Monkey King played by Teacher Six is recognized as a classic, but he is mainly responsible for the literary drama, and the action scenes are basically done by Ding Jian. Ding Jian can also be said to have one-third of the credit for the so-called classic Monkey King. . The crew can use this material for promotion, and the audience will not be disgusted."
Mo Xiangwan quickly checked Ding Jian's information and found that what Yue Guan said was true.
"Isn't he too low-key? I'm quite familiar with the industry, but I haven't even heard of his name." Mo Xiangwan sighed with emotion.
"The older generation is basically like this. They don't quite keep up with the times, and they don't know how to use social networks to expand their influence. If I ask Sister Xiang Wan to help Ding Jian promote it, his popularity will increase at least ten times."
Mo Xiangwan nodded: "Inevitably, it is impossible to reach the level of Teacher Six, but it is not difficult to be one level below Teacher Six, so let him be."
Mo Xiangwan is not arrogant, she really has this ability now.
Some gold buried in sand is just sand in the eyes of outsiders and even gold itself, but to those with vision and ability, it is gold.
Just help him wipe off the outer layer of sand.
It was confirmed that all the action scenes of Monkey King back then were done by Ding Jian. This alone was enough for Mo Xiangwan to make a lot of fuss.
"Ding Jian is also lucky. He met you. After starring in "Journey to the West", he may not be short of roles."
"Mutual success. If Ding Jian doesn't have news material that can be hyped, it will be a lot more difficult for us to praise him." Yue Guan said lightly: "Since Teacher Six refuses our overtures, let's praise Ding Jian. It's nothing. People are irreplaceable, and this is a good opportunity for the industry to see our company’s ability to create stars.”
"You are irreplaceable." Mo Xiangwan said sweetly.
Yue Guan smiled: "I am also easy to replace. The earth revolves around the sun, not me. If I don't understand this truth, I will become the sixth teacher."
"If Sun Wukong chooses Ding Jian, then the cast of "Journey to the West" may not be very luxurious. After all, big-name actors will not come to support Ding Jian unless you invite them in person," Mo Xiangwan reminded. .
If Yue Guan opens his mouth, most people, except for Teacher Six, will definitely give Yue Guan face.
But Yue Guan was too lazy to waste his favor on such things.
"There are only three scenes in "Journey to the West": Sun Wukong, Wutian and the Jade Emperor. Sun Wukong goes to Ding Jian. Sister Xiang Wan, please help him publicize and hype him up. It won't be a big problem to make him famous. I will play the Jade Emperor myself. , it’s definitely not a big problem, as long as we choose a better actor to play Wu Tian. The other roles are actually not very important. Our company is the main caster and producer of this drama, so there is no need for a cast, and CCTV will definitely recognize it.”
Miracle Company’s brand is indeed so strong now.
What's more, many people are looking forward to the Jade Emperor of Yueguan shining again.
With the Jade Emperor of Yueguan around, the ratings of "Journey to the West" will not be too bad, not to mention that the IP of "Journey to the West" itself has its own ratings.
Despite this, Mo Xiangwan also hopes that the star power of this drama will be stronger.
She thought about Wutian's setting, and then suggested: "Otherwise, let's bring in Chen Daoming to play Wutian. I think the image is quite suitable."
Yue Guan: "...I don't think it's appropriate, and the style of painting doesn't quite match."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Heizi."
"Who?" Mo Xiangwan didn't respond.
"Kuroko."
Wu Tian in the original "Journey to the West" was played by Heizi.
One thing to say, the acting was really good.
Again, there is no need to change successful roles.
Anyway, the drama "Journey to the West" doesn't need an actor playing Wu Tian to support its ratings.
It's enough to maintain a lower limit of acting skills.
After all, Mo Xiangwan is also a gold medal agent in the industry. Although the name "Heizi" sounded a bit strange at first, he quickly realized it: "He is the one who often acts in martial arts dramas. He is the one in your "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" He must be playing Jinlun Dharma King."
"Yes, that's him."
Mo Xiangwan thought for a while: "The image is quite suitable, and there is no doubt about the acting skills, but it is still the same old problem - the fame is too small. Yue Guan, do you like to support others now?"
"As long as it's suitable, my play doesn't actually require a big-name actor."
"Yue Guan, although there is no shortage of buyers for our company's plays, the prices also vary. After all, your Jade Emperor is not the protagonist. If you arrange it like this, it will be difficult to sell it at a high price."
This is why Mo Xiangwan wants to strengthen the Starlight lineup.
Yue Guan thought about it and it was right.
The lineup really can't be too shabby, otherwise CCTV will be embarrassed.
"Didn't Song Zuer, who played Nezha in "Lotus Lantern", receive a lot of praise? Let her continue to play Nezha. And Yang Xue, she is now very popular, recruit her to continue to play the Queen Mother .”
"Didn't the Queen Mother die in "Lotus Lantern"?"
"Just widen the timeline span of "Journey to the West". After all, it is called "Journey to the West", and the plot originally followed the success of "Journey to the West"."
"Also, I have a good relationship with Teacher Bai recently, so I invited her to play Guanyin. It doesn't matter if the main character is Ka Xiao, I will just get a few cameos from Ka Da."
"Who is Teacher Bai?" Mo Xiangwan asked curiously.
Yue Guan coughed lightly: "You said it wrong, Liu Tao. She is one of the heroines of "Game of Thrones". Her schedule is vacant recently. If I call her, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Mo Xiangwan was shocked: "Yue Guan, she's married, don't do whatever you want."
Yue Guan: "...Sister Xiang Wan, I have been working hard for you all day long, how can I still have the energy to deal with other women?"
"I believe you, you are a ghost. I am the one begging for mercy every time."
Mo Qianqian spat lightly, but seeing that Yue Guan did not look like he was having an affair with Liu Tao, Mo Xiangwan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"In addition to Guanyin, you should also try your best to have your confidante make guest appearances for other female characters." Mo Xiangwan said.
Yue Guan defended: "Actually, I don't have many confidantes."
Mo Xiangwan: "Haha."
The chat ended with hehe.
