Huayi, one of the well-known giants in the film and television industry, although the light and pony galloping have risen strongly in recent years, it is still difficult to shake its status in the rivers and lakes.

This kind of old film and television company, in addition to having abundant funds and a large number of star resources, is more important to master a strong publicity and distribution channel.

Even if it is a star master, if he wants to develop in the mainland, the first choice for cooperation is Huayi, and what he values is the other party's publicity and distribution ability.

As early as a year ago, the two sides started discussions by email, and it was not until the beginning of this year that various matters were resolved.

At the beginning of April, Xing Ye led a team to come to casting, and Wang Zhonglei was in charge of docking on Huayi's side.

Zhou Jin just received the script of "Journey to the West" a few days ago, and the content is quite different from the memory of his previous life, and it doesn't even match the main line.

He wasn't in a hurry, when Huang Bo knew that Xing Ye was coming, he began to prepare.

Until now, Zhou Jin has learned a lot about Journey to the West and the background of Xingye.

Speaking of which, he has a certain amount of confidence in being able to speak of the Star Master, but he doesn't have the confidence to defeat the heraldic master.

That afternoon, according to the agreed time, Zhou Jin came to the hotel in a suit and leather shoes, a little apprehensive.

is different from the habit of sugar people who like to hold press conferences before starting up, Xingye's movies are always covered tightly, and they are not permeable at all.

After Zhou Jin explained his intentions, a staff member led him to Xing Ye's room.

The room is not big, not the presidential suite that Zhou Jin imagined, only a large bed and a sofa by the window.

Zhou Xingchi was sitting on the sofa, wearing a black coat, long gray hair, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was looking at something with reading glasses.

is very different from the Ah Xing in Zhou Jin's impression.

Fight, he said to himself.

"Master Xing," Zhou Jin called out stiffly.

"Sit down," Zhou Xingchi lowered his head, still the same stiff Gangpu, but his tone was quite easy-going.

Zhou Jin looked at the room to make sure he didn't find a second chair, and then pointed to the bed, "I'm sitting here?"

"If you like to make sofas, I can let it go to you. ”

"That's not necessary," with this sentence, Zhou Jin sat down on the bed peacefully.

He has heard too many rumors about Zhou Xingchi, some say that he is stingy, some say that he has a bad temper, and some say that he is clean.

But for now, the rumors are not necessarily true.

"Do you live far away, how did you get here?" Zhou Xingchi didn't ask about the audition, it was still the same as chatting.

Zhou Jin gradually relaxed, "It's not far, I'm on the Chaoyang side, I called a taxi, and it will be there in forty minutes." ”

In the imperial capital, travel time is generally calculated by the hour, and for Zhou Jin, the places that can be reached within an hour are very close.

Zhou Xingchi was quite strange, "You are so well dressed and still take a taxi?"

Zhou Jin was even more strange, "Yes, I can't take the subway, right?"

"Ha," Zhou Xingchi smiled and looked at Zhou Jin, "I only heard your voice before, but now it's against a real person." ”

Zhou Jin smiled: "I used to listen to Shi Banyu's dubbing, but I didn't expect your voice to be like this." ”

"You were also born in a dragon set before?" Zhou Xingchi obviously knew Zhou Jin's background information.

"Yes, I did more than half a year of group performances, and then I came out by luck, and at that time, I was inspired by you and specially bought a copy of "Actor's Self-cultivation". ”

"Have you finished reading it?"

“emm...... No," Zhou Jin decided it was better to be honest, "I only read less than thirty pages." ”

"Hahaha......" Zhou Xingchi smiled happily, "I've only read about thirty pages, and it's really boring." ”

Zhou Jin laughed along, but you are still pretending to be the same as the real one in "The King of Comedy".

"Now that you're famous, has your salary increased?" Zhou Xingchi asked.

"It's definitely going up, but it's still a small investment to finish a movie now, so it's relatively low. ”

"Well, I hope you keep me down a little bit too. ”

This is the beginning of the talk about salary?

Zhou Jin was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, and said righteously: "It's an honor to be able to act in your movie, I don't care about the salary, I'm not in a hurry to make money." ”

"You can still be in a hurry to make money, at least buy a car," Zhou Xingchi smiled, and suddenly the tone of his words changed, "Have you read the script?"

"Look," Zhou Jin knew that the main event was coming, and began to talk eloquently, "I think this is a story about knowing oneself." ”

"The so-called learning from the scriptures is the experience of life, and you must really experience those things in order to truly understand what you want to pursue. ”

"I always thought that Journey to the West was about the tempering of a person's heart, love is actually the same as demons, so the daughter country is the saddest level. ”

Zhou Xingchi blinked, "Actually, I haven't finished reading Journey to the West, you can say a little more." ”

"Hmm," Zhou Jin wasn't too surprised by this.

There are two types of filmmakers, one is voyeurism and the other is exhibitionism.

Xin Yukun is a typical voyeur, writing a script that puts himself in the perspective of a bystander to depict the world he peeps into.

And Zhou Xingchi is a typical exhibitionist, and the pictures are actually his own inner feelings.

Journey to the West is not so much Journey to the West, but rather Zhou Xingchi told a story of his own through Journey to the West.

Zhou Jin took a deep breath and decided to make a big move.

Since his crossing, there have been many ultimates, but this one is probably the most perfect one.

Of course, if it fails, the consequences are estimated to be quite miserable.

"Sun Wukong is a metaphor for the heart, Xuanzang is a metaphor for the body, the heart flies to Lingshan is not good, the body must also keep up, so Sun Wukong must follow Xuanzang and go to the west step by step......"

“...... The road to learning scriptures is actually a metaphor for life, the body wants to set off, and the strength comes from the mother on the one hand, that is, Guanyin, and on the other hand, it comes from the heart, that is, Sun Wukong. ”

"The Five Elements Mountain represents the five aggregates, also called ego, and if you want to release Sun Wukong, you must break ego. ”

"The so-called ego, for example, is that some people were very poor and short of money when they were young, and when they grow up, they are very rich, but they still value money, and this is the obsession with money......

Speaking of this, Zhou Jin quietly glanced at Zhou Xingchi, and seeing that he didn't react, he was a little relieved, and continued:

"There is also a daughter country, in fact, it represents love, some people can't see through love, so they stay in the daughter country and don't go forward, a lifetime of peace and joy, and some people miss love, but they may go farther and farther, and finally reach Lingshan, it may not be a good thing......"

Zhou Xingchi gradually fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "You all thought of it yourself?"

"No, it's all on the Internet, there are a lot of small articles like this," Zhou Jin still chose to be honest and didn't dare to pretend anymore, "However, in fact, I think it makes sense." ”

Zhou Xingchi listened to it, nodded silently, and said, "It's very reasonable...... Sometimes, if you know the truth, you may not be able to do it...... Can you do it?"

"To do what?"

"Piercing the ego, that's what you said?"

Zhou Jin shook his head vigorously, "Of course it can't be done." ”

"Heh, you say so much, you can't do it yourself?"

Zhou Jin took it for granted, "If I want to do it, I will become a Buddha a long time ago, what kind of movie will I make?"

As for characters like Xing Ye, whether he can realize something or not, it's none of his business.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't get the role in the end, you can run here to make a big move, Zhou Jin thinks it's worth it.
