Chapter 443: The Question of Candidates

Even if it is to help Lin Chen publicize, or to promote hype, the starting point is a real and large amount of traffic.

In the editorial department of the starting point, Rufeng and several other editors were thinking about how Lin Chen would hype up the third part.

"Why hasn't Lin Chen uploaded it at the starting point?" Rufeng said anxiously.

Bohan said: "If we can guess what Lin Chen thinks, is it still Lin Chen?"

Dongdong said: "Like the wind, maybe you can ask when Lin Chen will upload "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"?"

Listening to Dongdong's words, Rufeng, who is a martial arts editor, thought, for the sake of his own martial arts traffic, what about asking Lin Chen?

Thinking that there was no window to chat for a year, Rufeng introduced himself first, after all, with Lin Chen's status, maybe he had forgotten about himself a long time ago?

After Rufeng introduced himself, he went straight to the point and said, "Director Lin, when will your book be uploaded?

"With the popularity of "Condor" and "Shooting the Condor", does "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" still need to be hyped and promoted?"

This sentence suddenly made Rufeng a little speechless, and he co-authored and waited to help others publicize it? But now with the popularity of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Lin Chen does not bother to use this method to promote it at all.

In addition to restoring in the past few days, Lin Chen has also roughly sorted out the plot of the script.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was rumored in the martial arts that whoever could have both the dragon slaying knife and the angel turbidity would know the huge mystery hidden in it, which led to the competition for the dragon slaying knife and the heavenly sword in the martial arts.

Yu Daiyan, the third disciple of Wudang patriarch Zhang Sanfeng, was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to help the weak and the poor, but he was accidentally involved in the battle between the Haiyan Gang and the Haisha Sect to snatch the dragon slaying knife, and was conspired to be disabled.

Five disciples Zhang Cuishan on the way to find the real murderer met Yin Susu of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, the two of them knew that the two religions of good and evil did not share the sky, but secretly had feelings, in the East China Sea on Wang Panshan Island, the people of the rivers and lakes for the dragon slaying knife again disputes, the two of them were coerced to a lonely island by the golden lion king Xie Xun of the Ming Sect to save the people on the island.

The two got married on the island and gave birth to a son, Zhang Wuji. Zhang Cuishan and Xie Xun also became brothers.

Ten years later, he returned to land, but unexpectedly because of the reappearance of the dragon slaying knife in the rivers and lakes, a war broke out. The combination of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu also caused disputes between the good and evil factions. For the sake of Baoyi's brother Xie Xun, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu would rather die without revealing the fall of the dragon slaying knife, and they both killed themselves. The young Zhang Wuji witnessed the death of his parents, and was even more injured by the 'two elders of Xuan Ming'......

Although the whole story of the Dragon Slayer Knife and the Heavenly Sword is the fuse, the storyline is more about Zhang Wuji's growth story.

In addition to Zhang Wuji's various life and death tests, the emotional line in this drama is also very bright, Zhang Wuji is very overwhelmed with the love of Mongolian princess Zhao Min, childhood sweetheart Zhou Zhiruo, and cousin Yin Li, the girl Xiaozhao.

In terms of character creation and character span, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is also richer and fuller than the other two versions, so in the selection of actors, Lin Chen is bound to work hard.

Although everyone in another time and space is arguing about which of the seven versions of Yitian is better and classic, in Lin Chen's opinion, in terms of the strength of the star lineup, it is obviously the stronger version of the 03 version, and Long Qi is Su Youpeng's creation of Zhang Wuji's character, which can be regarded as very accurate and accurate.

For this TV series, Lin Chen does not want to simply restore which version, but is ready to learn from the strengths and weaknesses of each version of the shooting.

The current artist team of the Chopsticks Brothers is also strong enough, in addition to the artists of the Chopsticks Brothers Media, Lin Chen is also ready to cooperate with other entertainment companies to find suitable artists for filming.

Since Lin Chen broke out his plan to shoot "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", many entertainment companies in the industry naturally hope to take a share of the pie with the help of cooperation with Lin Chen, and everyone is almost crowded in terms of investment.

Chopsticks Brothers Media is not bad for money, as for the investment Lin Chen, he thinks that in addition to the Light Brothers, he does not want to introduce artists from other companies, but for the cooperation of artists, Lin Chen is ready to let go of part of the quota.

Regarding Zhang Wuji's candidate, Lin Chen first thought of Yuan Ping, but in the end Lin Chen still denied Yuan Ping, in the "Condor Shooting" trilogy, Lin Chen did not want to do anything to repeat the protagonist, Yuan Ping still left too many Guo Jing labels in "Condor Shooting", so the protagonist really needs to choose someone else.

Li Shan is obviously also directly excluded, not to mention that Yang Guo's label is too heavy, this year, Li Shan belongs to 'Huanya Entertainment', Li Shan and Yuan Ping belong to the pillars of the male artists of Chopsticks Brothers Media, in addition to these two people, the role of Zhang Wuji obviously needs to be solicited externally.

When Lin Chen announced that the role of the male number one in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" was looking for the outside world, it still caused an uproar in the industry.

Because in Lin Chen's dramas, the phenomenon of overnight fame is too common, even well-known artists know what it means to be the male number one in Lin Chen's martial arts dramas, so Lin Chen's studio received submissions from male artists in the entertainment industry overnight.

Many fans of "Shooting the Condor" and "Condor" also discussed this matter.

"The male protagonist has a public audition, it seems that Lin Chen is going to support newcomers again!"

"The male protagonist of "Yitian" must be a warm man, and I hope to be handsome. ”

"It's enough to maintain the height of Yuan Ping and Li Shan, I'm quite curious about who can be chosen by Lin Chen in the end. ”

……

Chopsticks Brothers Media is also sorting out the information sent by various artists according to Lin Chen's requirements.

Regarding Zhang Wuji's candidate, Lin Chen also selected a few rules and opinions.

"First, you must pass the test with good looks!"

"Second, there must be conditions for having served as the protagonist or main partner in other big dramas!"

Zhang Wuji in the play is also the object of everyone's infatuation, although it is ancient, it is estimated that it is still a world of faces, if Zhang Wuji is Duan Yanqing's appearance, it is estimated that no matter how high his martial arts are, he will not attract the attention of others.

For public casting, Lin Chen must use an actor with acting skills, compared with the selection of looking for a needle in a haystack, there is no doubt that having served as the protagonist or supporting role of a big drama in the circle is an important measurement condition.

Everyone in the studio is working overtime to sift through them.

"This actor's acting skills are eligible, but this own condition is really a little worse!"

"This appearance is okay, and I have played the leading role, but there are too many black spots!"

"The acting skills and appearance are not up to par, what are you doing with it?"

……

While everyone in the studio was screening, Lin Chen received a call from Han Lei.

"Lin Chen, does the first protagonist of your "Yitian" only consider the mainland?"

At present, since the public casting of "Yitian", it seems that only the public resumes of mainlanders have been received, and there are indeed no resumes of artists in the entertainment circles of Xiangjiang and Baodao, Han Lei's words really made Lin Chen stunned.

"Let's meet and talk about Mr. Lin, I'll wait for you in the old place!"

After hanging up Han Lei's phone, Lin Chen went straight to the place Han Lei pointed to.

"Lin Chen, I have a suitable candidate here!"

After meeting, Han Lei went straight to the point and said: "It's that this artist is from Treasure Island, if you don't mind, I can introduce you to you." ”

In recent years, treasure island artists have been very common in the mainland entertainment industry, and in many TV series and movies, there are gradually more faces of treasure island artists, only if there are suitable actors, Lin Chen doesn't mind whether it is the mainland or the treasure island, and even Xiangjiang's can be.

In fact, the selection work in the past few days has also given Lin Chen a headache, some actors are because their image is not enough, and some actors are because their acting skills are not enough, and their acting skills and image are enough, and they are riddled with black material and scandals.

Han Lei said: "Mr. Lin, this artist is a singer debut, but his acting skills are also very powerful, and he was still an idol actor admired by us in the mainland in the early days, I think you also know him?"

Listening to Han Lei's analysis, Lin Chen thought of that person.

"Aren't you talking about Zhang Junpeng?"

Han Lei nodded and said: "Is it indeed Zhang Junpeng? Our Light Brothers just cooperated with Zhang Junpeng in the new drama "Great Rivers and Mountains" has just been completed, Zhang Junpeng's performance in the crew, both in character and acting skills is very good, thinking that the Light Brothers are also the investors of "Yitian", so I am like you recommended Zhang Junpeng, if you are satisfied, I estimate that Zhang Junpeng has no problems. ”

Lin Chen's impression of Zhang Junpeng still stems from his public speech: "I think I am quite Buddha-like, I will be moved by the teachings of Buddhism, and I believe that people should do good things, I believe in karma, and I also think that everyone should have good thoughts regardless of whether they believe in Buddhism or not......

Zhang Junpeng has debuted since he was ten years old, and there has been no scandal news in several songs for more than ten years.

Zhang Junpeng was born as an idol, and there is absolutely no problem with his image, and at the same time, Zhang Junpeng has starred in many TV series and movies, and his acting skills are absolutely dramatic, if Zhang Junpeng is the protagonist of "Yitian", it is not impossible.

Lin Chen said: "I want to meet Zhang Junpeng!"

Han Lei said: "We just held the finale banquet of "Great Rivers and Mountains", Zhang Junpeng is still in Yanjing, but Zhang Junpeng has set a ticket for tomorrow, if you want to meet Zhang Junpeng, I think it should be early." ”

Lin Chen said: "You can help me arrange Mr. Han! The sooner the better!"

Han Lei immediately called Zhang Junpeng, and Zhang Junpeng was naturally very excited when he heard that Lin Chen wanted to see him.

Zhang Junpeng is also a full fan of Lin Chen, Long Qi is the broadcast of the martial arts dramas "Shooting the Condor" and "The Condor", which made Zhang Junpeng even more admired the talent of this screenwriter and director, and after hanging up the phone, Zhang Junpeng rushed to the place where he met Lin Chen.

"Mr. Lin, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Junpeng, this is Director Lin Chen!" After arriving at the location, Han Lei introduced.

"Director Lin, it's a pleasure to see you, and I'm also a fan of yours?"

After seeing Zhang Junpeng, Zhang Junpeng's peace was even more stable than Lin Chen imagined, if such an actor played the role of Zhang Wuji, it would be excellent.

Lin Chen was not polite, and said straight to the point: "I have a character here, do you have any problems?"

The script was sent by Lin Chen to Du Weiwei temporarily, thinking that she would meet Zhang Junpeng later, so Lin Chen prepared the script.

"Martial arts drama?"

Zhang Junpeng said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, you want me to shoot the role of this martial arts drama, I am a fan of "Shooting the Condor" and "The Condor"!"

Zhang Junpeng seemed very excited, but Zhang Junpeng still didn't dare to think much about the role of the protagonist.

Lin Chen said: ""Yitian" still lacks a protagonist, if you think it is appropriate, you can try the protagonist of this play!"

Zhang Junpeng is already a first-line in the mainland, and there are several big dramas led by himself, but when he heard that Lin Chen decided to let Zhang Junpeng play the protagonist of "Yitian", Zhang Junpeng was still very excited, Long Qi This is a big drama led by Lin Chen.

Zhang Junpeng said incoherently: "I really didn't want to play the leading role in the martial arts drama directed by Da Lin, I have had a martial arts dream since I was a child."

After confirming that Zhang Junpeng should play the role, Lin Chen also needs to negotiate with Zhang Junpeng's entertainment company, Zhang Junpeng's entertainment company is Baodao Youbang Entertainment, and Zhang Junpeng is a first-line song of Youbang.

Hearing that Zhang Junpeng was played the protagonist by Lin Chen's "Yitian", AIA is naturally excited, in recent years, AIA has put most of its business in the mainland, Zhang Junpeng has actually been mainly in the mainland in recent years, and Long Qi is still a series of martial arts dramas directed by Lin Chen!

Chopsticks Brothers, Light Media and Youbang Entertainment quickly finalized the cooperation plan, and at the same time, Zhang Junpeng played the role of Zhang Wuji was soon announced by the official website of Chopsticks Brothers Media, in fact, many loyal fans of "Shooting the Condor" and "Condor" also very much support Zhang Junpeng playing the role of Zhang Wuji.

"Director Lin is really sharp enough in casting, and Zhang Junpeng will definitely not regret the original work. ”

"Is it the boy next door Zhang Junpeng who has no scandal at all? I'm a fan of Zhang Junpeng. ”

"I was relieved to see Zhang Junpeng come to play the role of Zhang Wuji. ”

"Support Director Lin, I also think Zhang Junpeng is the most suitable male lead. ”

……

Zhang Junpeng was elected as the protagonist of "Yitian", which brought a good word-of-mouth evaluation to the drama "Yitian", but this martial arts drama is not Zhang Junpeng's solo performance, compared to Zhang Wuji's role, several female roles also give Lin Chen a headache.

Four girls around Zhang Wuji, each character has different personalities, Zhao Min's character characteristics in the original book are gorgeous and incomprehensible, bright and bitter roses, amorous, shrewd and capable, straightforward and bold, with eloquence and strategy, and dare to love and hate.

The character of Zhao Min is the heroine of "Yitian", and it is also a character who determines the height of this play.

But Feng Zuer has already played the role of Huang Rong, if he plays the role of Zhao Min again, the main creative lineup of the "Condor Shooting" trilogy overlaps, which is obviously not in line with Lin Chen's wishes, who will this character choose?

Lin Chen suddenly had a bold idea.
