Of course, the actors selected by Liu Zixia are all expected candidates.

In case the actor is not suitable to play the role, or the actor does not have a schedule, or the actor is not happy to take on the role...... It's all possible.

When the time comes, you will have to choose again, and it will be a headache to think about it!

So Liu Zixia swore that in the future, when filming TV series, in addition to the protagonist, he will never choose the actors by himself again, which is really brain-consuming!

It is no wonder that many large enterprises are willing to use headhunting companies to find talents and poach people for themselves, because selecting people is also a technical job!

"You ask me how much I love you, how much ...... I love you"

Just when Liu Zixia just wanted to take a break, the mobile phone rang suddenly.

picked up the phone and glanced at it, it was Lang Wenxing calling, sliding the green little phone, and answering: "Hey, Brother Xing, what's wrong?"

"Well, Zixia, Mr. Lin of Rongda Film and Television just called, and he said that the filming location, props, costumes, and film crew of "Journey to the West" ...... It's almost ready. ”

The phone was connected, and Longman's voice came: "He asked me to ask you, how is the selection of characters on your side? Have you decided on the roles in the TV series? When will you be able to shoot?"

The crew is all ready?

It's only been a long time, and it's a little too fast, right?

Hearing Longwenxing's words, Liu Zixia was stunned for a moment before saying:

"Ah, the characters are almost screened, but there are still some characters that have not been selected. None of these actors have auditioned yet, and I'm not sure when they'll be ready to shoot until the actors are decided. ”

"Why are there any other ones that haven't been chosen?"

Hearing Liu Zixia's answer, Long Wenxing was a little anxious, and he said: "I said Zixia, can you let me save some snacks? You know that Mr. Lin was urging me just now, and he can't wait to eat me." ”

"Then the next time he calls you, you just ask him to call me. ”

When Liu Zixia heard Long Wenxing's complaint, he rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, it takes at least half a month for the role to be screened, auditioned and confirmed.

"What do you mean, do you want someone to help you choose actors?" Long Wenxing heard the meaning of Liu Zixia's words.

"People don't have to, in a few days, Xu Ke and Xu Dao will come to Shanghai to help me. ”

Liu Zixia shook his head and said, "Originally, I wanted the actors to audition in Jinghua's studio. But at this time, I found that there were too many things to do, and I wanted to return to Jinghua in the near future, so I planned to audition directly in Shanghai. ”

When he said this, Liu Zixia paused and continued: "Brother Xing, do you think this is good, you are in the Shanghai branch of Wenxing Entertainment, arrange a few offices for me, and I will use it for auditions and arrange work, okay?"

"Okay, I'll call Zhang Jie and ask her to arrange it in a while. ”

Long Wenxing replied, as if he remembered something, and said: "By the way, you don't know yet, Zhang Jie is now the general manager of the Shanghai branch, if you have anything in the future, just look for her directly." ”

The reason why Zhang Jie was transferred to the Shanghai branch was also for two reasons:

One is that after Zhang Jie graduated from university, she first worked at the grassroots level of Wenxing Entertainment for a year, and then studied with Lang Wenxing for two years, and the accumulated work experience is almost the same, and it is time to put her in the following branch to have a good experience.

Another one, that is, Liu Zixia's home is in Shanghai, and the future work will definitely be running on both sides of Jinghua and Shanghai, and Zhang Jie can help Liu Zixia more when he comes here.

After all, Liu Zixia and Zhang Jie are very familiar, and Zhang Jie is Longwenxing's niece, so he is also relieved to use his own family.

"Zhang Jie is coming to Shanghai?" Hearing the news, Liu Zixia was actually a little happy, "This girl is really good, and she won't say hello to me when she comes to Shanghai." ”

Long Wenxing hurriedly said: "Okay, there is time to greet him, you should set the actors of "Journey to the West" for me now, I'm afraid of Mr. Lin." ”

"Cheng, I know, if there is nothing to do, I will hang up. Liu Zixia grabbed his hair and said, "I still have to continue to screen actors." ”

"Yes, I won't bother you, hang up. Longman replied and hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Liu Zixia looked at the photos and information on the computer, sighed, and said to himself: "Hey, I'm also working hard!"

......

It was a Friday, 9:40 a.m.

In a reception room on the 6th floor of Wenxing Entertainment's Shanghai branch, Liu Zixia met Ma Huaiwen, who came to audition.

Not to mention that looking at photos is different from looking at real people, compared to photos, Ma Huaiwen's real people are far more handsome than photos:

With a height of nearly 1.8 meters, a well-proportioned figure, short hair, fair skin, and clear eyebrows, he is not so much handsome as he is more feminine.

"Teacher Ma, hello!" Liu Zixia stood up and stretched out his right hand to Ma Huaiwen.

Ma Huaiwen also stretched out his hand and shook Liu Zixia, and said in a clear and mellow voice: "Mr. Liu, hello!"

"Mr. Ma, thank you very much for coming to audition. Liu Zixia invited Ma Huaiwen to sit down, and said with a smile: "Didn't delay your time?"

Ma Huaiwen shook his head and said, "No, there are not so many affairs in the courtyard now." At my age, it's time to make some changes. It just makes me curious, how did you know about me?"

"Mr. Ma, I have seen your stage play "The Great Master of Jianzhen" at the Shanghai Grand Theater. Liu Zixia said a reason, "I think the master of Jianzhen you play is a real image and very infectious, so I invited you to come over for an audition." ”

Archmage Jianzhen?

Hearing the name Liu Zixia said, Ma Huaiwen raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "I don't know what the role of the play you want me to try is?"

"Oh, it's Tang Seng in "Journey to the West". Liu Zixia said.

Sure enough, it's this character!

Ma Huaiwen suddenly realized, and at the same time, he was secretly happy in his heart.

After Su Nuo called Ma Huaiwen, Ma Huaiwen has actually not been idle in the past few days, and since he guessed the play he was going to try, he has been substituting himself into the role of "Journey to the West".

He's matching himself with characters!

In addition, Su Nuo said that the audition role was male No. 1, so he tried all four Tang Seng masters and apprentices, and finally felt that Tang Seng's role was the most suitable for him.

So, in the past few days, he has been desperately trying to figure out the role of Tang Seng, whether it is temperament, movements, expressions, speed of speech, and tone...... All were simulated in all directions.

Ma Huaiwen even felt that he was half a Tang monk now!

"Mr. Ma, let's take a look at the script first. ”

Seeing that Ma Huaiwen had a clear look on his face, Liu Zixia picked up a folder from the table on the side, handed it to him, and said:

"There are four protagonists in this play, and the whole drama revolves around these four protagonists, and Tang Seng, who runs through the entire story, is the soul of the character!

"Okay, I'll read the script first. Ma Huaiwen nodded slightly, took the script and read it.

As I said before, there is still a big difference between the novel of "Journey to the West" and the TV series of "Journey to the West".

Although Ma Huaiwen has been watching Journey to the West for the past few days, when he saw the script, he immediately frowned.

First of all, the original words that were somewhat awkward have become ordinary vernacular, secondly, the plot has changed somewhat, and finally, the characters' personalities have become richer and more distinct.

A kind, sincere, strong-willed, compassionate and kind ascetic, a Buddha who works tirelessly and is not afraid of hardships and dangers, but is somewhat mediocre and stubborn, and does not distinguish between right and wrong......

In this more vivid script, Ma Huaiwen sees such a living and contradictory Buddhist.

But this monk, who has many shortcomings and advantages, dedicated his life to the cause of learning scriptures, and finally sought the true scriptures and achieved positive results.

Ma Huaiwen has not acted in stage plays about monks, such as "Shaolin Temple" and "Bodhidharma Patriarch...... Including the "Jianzhen Grand Mage" that Liu Zixia just said.

However, whether it is "Shaolin Temple", which is famous for its martial arts, or "The Great Master of Jianzhen", which is famous for its martial arts, or "The Great Master of Jianzhen", which is so perfectly shaped that there are almost no shortcomings, and what the audience sees is a flawless image.

No one is perfect!

Should a flawless person or image exist?

Obviously not!

There is still something wrong with a saint, let alone an ordinary monk?

I remember that before rehearsing the stage play "The Great Master of Jianzhen", Ma Huaiwen once stayed in Yuhang Lingyin Temple for half a month.

Every day, I listened to the Dharma in the temple, observed the every move of the Buddhas in the temple, and even sometimes, when they said something, Ma Huaiwen would write it down.

However, he found that these Buddhas are not as people imagined, they are accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lanterns and meditate on Buddhist scriptures every day.

They also eat fireworks in the world, they also use computers and mobile phones, and sometimes they will quarrel or even fight because of a sentence or two.

This is the real state of life!

In the script, Tang Seng's various distinct but conflicting personalities told Ma Huaiwen that this is a flesh-and-blood person, the monk who went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures!

......

After reading the script for about half an hour, Ma Huaiwen became more and more fascinated the more he watched it, and he was a little reluctant to put down the script.

Liu Zixia can't see this situation?

The script of "Journey to the West" is so thick, if you really wait for you to finish reading it, then it will probably be dark, and you will try a fart scene?

There was no way, Liu Zixia could only interrupt him: "That, Mr. Ma, have you seen the ground?"

"Huh?" Ma Huaiwen raised his head and glanced at Liu Zixia a little blankly, and his eyes gradually brightened: "Almost, almost." ”

He said this, but his eyes kept scanning the script.

"Teacher Ma, the play you want to try in a moment is this part. Liu Zixia was a little helpless, but he still took the script and went directly to the plot of the scheduled episode 10.
