Chapter 21 Participating in "Journey to the West"?
This is exactly the extent that Locke wants to achieve, no, he even wants to surpass it, surpass Huayi! Locke, who has a hegemonic system, has a future that dominates the world's entertainment industry......
"Can your Locke's album reach platinum status within a year, if it does, I will sign you the contract you want to sign, and I will also give your group, Phoenix Legend, a studio contract, if not, then honestly leave me to do it according to the company......'s arrangement," Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.
"Okay, I promise!"
"So, your first benefit when you join the company, join a crew, and the company will arrange your roles accordingly!" Wang Zhongjun said as he walked out of Locke's Nannan brand duck miscellaneous food shop and got into his car.
"By the way, this is the crew you are going to - "Journey to the West" Sister Zeng took out a note and left it for Lockroy Yichen and left.
"Journey to the West" is a costume historical mythological drama produced by SX Provincial TV Program Exchange Center in 2000, adapted from the classical novel "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen, directed by Li Yuan, written by Qian Yanqiu, starring Cao Rong, Huang Haibing, Wu Jian, Heizi, Ma Yashu, etc.
The play mainly tells the story of the Tang monk and apprentice Xitian learning scriptures, the demon Wutian made a big fuss in the Three Realms after the death of the Buddha, and Sun Wukong led the Three Realms to help Qiao Ling'er, the reincarnated spirit boy of Rulai, return to Lingshan. The play was broadcast in 2000 and won the Best Award in the TV Art Film category at the 18th Golden Eagle Awards
Three hundred years after the success of the four Tang monks and apprentices, the heavens and the earth shook, the devil suddenly descended, the Buddha passed away, and the Three Realms were in chaos. Wutian occupies the spiritual mountain, calls himself "Wutian Buddha", and summons all the demons to declare: Thirty-three years later, if you come, you will still use the reincarnated spirit child's Dharma body to support your life, relying on the seventeen relics to conquer the heaven and earth, and the mana is boundless, and return to the Three Realms. If you want to permanently occupy the heavenly court and rule the world, you must use Sun Wukong to get seventeen relics and kill the reincarnated spirit child.
Tang Seng, who was detained in the underworld, saw through the lawless ambitions and conspiracies, and only Wukong could resolve them. When Wukong learned of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after the Buddha lit it by the lamp, he knew that the Three Realms were facing an unprecedented catastrophe.
Qiao Ling'er, the reincarnated spirit child, has grown into a handsome young man, who was celebrating his grandfather's birthday at home on this day when he was kidnapped by a female bandit and went up the mountain. Ling'er reprimanded them for their banditry on the spot, the bandit leader White Lotus was furious, escorted him back to the cottage, cut off water and food, Ling'er would rather die than give in, Lotus was deeply moved, and expressed his admiration, and the dying Ling'er died with a smile, and was taken away by the Dapeng Protector.
Wukong and Bajie came to the Shuangta Temple in Shuangta County, Wukong merged the twin towers in the Shuangta Temple, and turned the twin towers into a relic, but was taken away by the giant eagle (Dapeng Protector) that swooped down, Wukong and Bajie chased to Fengtou Mountain, only to see Ling'er waking up with the relic in his mouth.
Wutian learned that Wukong had found the reincarnated spirit child, and immediately ordered the black-robed protector to take the two King Kong to snatch it, and Tang Seng learned that he jumped out of the reincarnation tunnel and met Nezha on the way, and the two went to find Wukong together.
Sun Wukong and Bajie brought Ling'er back to Huaguo Mountain, and the black robe and the demons surrounded the mountain, just when Tang Seng led Nezha to come, Nezha and Wukong and Tang Seng killed the two King Kongs. The black robe ran back to Lingshan with an injury to report the news, and Wuxia ordered all the demons to go out together to recapture the spirit child.
Tang monks and apprentices transferred Ling'er to Donghua Mountain, and handed over Biyou Fairy to the care of Emperor Donghua with his teacher. Biyou and Ling'er got along very well, and after a long time, Biyou finally confided in Ling'er. Although Ling'er has a hazy love for her, she can't forget the lotus, so she left Donghua Mountain to wander around in the world, and unfortunately she was obtained by Wutian.
Wutian used the Black Lotus Holy Fire and its primordial god Black Lotus, wanting to kill Ling'er, but he couldn't hurt him in the slightest, knowing that he had to get seventeen relics to succeed, so he ordered the black-robed Dharma Protector to find all seventeen relics within thirty-three days.
Wukong and others went through a lot of hardships and finally found sixteen relics, accidentally fell into an ambush and hurriedly swallowed the relics. Wutian put Wukong in the boiling ding, intending to use the fire to refine the relics, Tang monk and apprentice sent Bajie who can resist the poison of weak water to rescue, Wukong began to turn into relics in the scorching fire, Bajie rescued Wukong, Tang monk and apprentice converged with the gods, and Wutian started a life-and-death battle.
There is only one hour before the return of Rulai, Sun Wukong jumped into the sea of fire, turned into the seventeenth relic of subduing Wutian - the boneless relic, and struck at Wutian, Wutian's body turned into ashes and flew away, Rulai appeared a golden body and returned to the Buddha realm, and the Three Realms returned to peace. Everyone works together to gather their minds, and Goku miraculously returns. The Buddha named Sun Wukong as the new ancestor of all Buddhas - the Buddha of the Great Holy Relic of Nanwu. Wukong meditated on the lotus platform, smiling and unusually peaceful.
The whole play subverts the concept of Journey to the West, from the stubborn, willful and naughty to the righteous and brave Sun Wukong, who is self-sacrificing, from the ugly and abnormal to the handsome and dashing Zhu Bajie, from the Buddhist theory to Tang Sanzang who has appreciated the true meaning of martial arts, from the timid and weak to the Sha Wujing who later bears heavy burdens and charges bravely.
At half past nine the next day, they arrived on time in front of a building not far from the company. The first floor of this building has been rented by Huayi.
"It was punctual. Sister Zeng was already waiting for them in front of the building, "But next time, I hope you will arrive half an hour early, and I can't let the teacher wait for you." ”
took the two upstairs, the training room here is separated, each actor has his own training room, of course, this is the situation of few people now, and when there are more people in the future, it will naturally merge.
The room was plain, with only a TV, a few stools, and a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard was already sitting in it.
"Learn well with the teacher and act in this play with peace of mind, this is your new starting point, I hope you will pay attention to it. Sister Zeng told them, "This is the training teacher of your acting subject, Chen Erfa, although he is not well-known in China, he is the first group of actors to enter Hollywood." Acting skills are worthy of recognition, and I hope you can study them seriously. ”
"What is worthy of recognition, after so many years of mixing, it is not like this. Chen Erfa waved his hand and said to the two seriously, "My requirements are very strict, I hope the two of you can be serious." ”
"Let's start with Farewell My Concubine. He didn't talk nonsense, "I want you to play Duan Xiaolou, of course, I won't give you too advanced opinions, I will only give you opinions that are suitable for your current stage." He said this to Locke.
It was just the bare minimum though, and after a few minutes he knew it was far from easy.
"Cut! No! You have to understand your identity! Duan Xiaolou is a character who is divided into human drama! He doesn't have Cheng Dieyi's confusion! You don't draw 'drama' and 'people' so clearly!"
"Cut! Re-read the script!"
"Look! Look! Do you know how to act?!Do you want me to show you?!"
……
Locke definitely didn't expect that he originally thought that he was at least much stronger than those little white-faced idol drama stars Xiao Xianrou who saw the future in the main system, but he didn't expect to be inferior to them......
The first shot begins, and there are countless times of cards. First of all, the whole film was pulled over, and the simulated Director Chen was already frowning. When it came time to split the shots, not even the first few shots.
……
"Two months later, your makeup photos will have to be handed over to the first crew, the sequel to Journey to the West, and time is urgent. Chen Erfa glanced at them and continued, "You remember, since you have joined the film and television, don't think about singing for the time being. You are newcomers to film and television, in addition to fame, you are not even as good as specialized students. For two months, you have to take full control. ”
For a whole day, almost all of it was analyzing the script and figuring out the psychology of the characters.
In the evening, they walked out of the training room with a few thick books issued by Chen Erfa. They were the last to come out, and the lights in the other rooms were out.
Chen Er's in-depth reminder made the two newcomers wake up. The dinner in the evening was a nutritious package sent by Sister Zeng, the meat and vegetables were quite coordinated, and after eating, the two didn't say anything, and began to take a serious look at the "actor quality" that Wei Donghai sent them. Not even the TV was on.
At eleven o'clock, the lights on the floor are turned off on time, which is the system stipulated by Huayi to prevent artists from staying up late. After chatting for a while, they went to bed on time.
The training, which is only twenty days, can be regarded as the last temporary sprint time for the Kangxi Dynasty.
"One of your roles is Erlang God, and the other is Biyou! Both are important roles, and I hope you can seize this opportunity!" Chen Er said, "The other party has a request, you can look heroic, young, handsome and beautiful." The requirements for acting skills are not high. ”
"Don't look at it as a position with no drama, but the weight of this role is not light, in order to get this audition, I heard that the company has invested a lot of money. The news of the casting will not be announced until two months later. ”
"Actually, the two of them can get this audition outline because they are already in the role list. But before the final result comes out, no one dares to say that it will be a sure victory. Directors tend to choose among several suitable actors. Sister Zeng also explained on the side.
With a month left, the two began to read the play seriously. Chen Erfa kept helping them analyze the mentality of Erlang God and Biyou. From the end of the first month of reading, Locke asked Ariel and him to act out an hour-long scene every night.
At the beginning, Luo Yichen laughed happily, but in less than two days, he was trained by Locke not to be happy with things and not to be sad about himself. began to officially step into the career of an actor.
The most rapid improvement is Locke, his acting skills are even comparable to many second-tier actors, and his performance makes Chen Erfa nod again and again.
Two months, not long, not short, after their hard work every day, soon reached the second month.
Among them, Locke is also preparing for his song album.
