When Ye Chen returned to the Demon Capital, it was almost the end of June, and schools across the country had already begun to have a holiday.

The same is true of the Modu Drama Academy, the students are on vacation one after another, during this period, there is a small thing, that is, Ye Chen's academic year directing homework was not handed in, and the tutor notified him, and Ye Chen applied for a half-year extension to hand in the work, which passed easily.

Having said that, after Ye Chen went through the "Road of Learning Scriptures (Scenery)" in the Great Northwest for more than a week, as soon as he came back, he fell into a crazy state of work.

The remake of "Journey to the West" is not only as simple as recalling the classics, nor is it something you can shoot if you want to, this is a movie with a large investment and complex shooting links. This is different from his filming "First Close Contact", "First Close Contact" is a simple, innocent and sad story, the story structure is a line, simple and easy to understand. And there are very few characters involved in it, and the framing and special effects are simple, so it is not difficult to shoot.

The difficulty of "Journey to the West" is not a level at all, there are many main characters in it, and the characters in it are rich in emotions and changes, which tests the acting skills of the actors, which is the difficulty of casting. The second is that there are different scenes to be tossed and turned, and the sound effects and scene special effects must be in place, which requires a huge shooting team to work together, which cannot be compared with the team of a few simple people when he filmed Virgo's "First Close Contact". The third difficulty is the capital chain, when "Journey to the West" was filmed in another world in 1994 with an investment of 45 million, which was a big investment at that time. If it is changed in this era of the world, 45 million is now more than 100 million investment.

These three mountains, each of which is a survivable mountain, and after Ye Chen returned from the northwest, he frantically devoted himself to researching the solution to overcome the "three mountains".

Because "Journey to the West" occupies a position in his heart, it is difficult for other love movies to compare. Therefore, Ye Chen's work attitude this time is unprecedentedly serious and crazy. As a little master who sometimes commits literary and youthful illnesses, he wants to be perfect in this kind of thing.

Ye Chen's first consideration was to start from the movie itself, understand the relevant film market, as well as the shooting special effects and angle switching during the filming process.

Although "Journey to the West" is imprinted in his mind. But it's a different thing from you being able to actually direct.

For this kind of thing, for Ye Chen, who has only studied in the directing department of the Modu Drama Academy for two years, he can only be regarded as a half-ass. And to deal with this kind of problem, he has enough resources around him, because he is a student of the directing department, and those teachers in the directing department are old people in this industry, and they all have a certain understanding and experience in the field.

So, the first few days. He visited many teachers in the directing department, and humbly asked teachers who were good at different aspects such as special effects, directing skills, angle switching, and camera cutting, and gained a lot of unique experience from each other, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

After consulting about relevant questions related to film shooting, Ye Chen combined his own gains in the "road of learning from experience (scenery)" and formed his own set of experiences. As for the latter things, he needs to compare and confirm with the images in his mind during the shooting process.

And this one thing alone, Ye Chen spent nearly half a month. And the second thing he has to do next is that he completes the most important step in the filming of "Journey to the West" - casting.

Casting is a key step that directly affects whether a movie looks good or not! If the actor can't achieve the kind of effect of acting, it's in vain.

So for casting, Ye Chen attaches great importance to it!

The heroine he unilaterally decided, it was Ye Xuan, playing the role of Zixia Fairy, Ye Chen asked her to play Zixia Fairy not only to help each other. And the other party's image is indeed suitable for playing Zixia. Zixia Fairy is ethereal and clean, eccentric, and Ye Chen, who is Ye Xuan's friend, knows a lot about the other party, and he knows that the other party should be competent.

Female No. 2 Wu Yuqing. played Bai Jingjing, and he quickly decided on the candidate, that is, the woman he met by chance, similar to Bai Jingjing in "Journey to the West", he has no reason for this kind of casting, even if the other party is just a tour guide, but it just makes him feel that this seems better.

In the back, Chun Thirteen Niang, the second master, Tang Seng, the Bull Demon King, and a group of related characters still need to find his favorite candidate in the vast sea of people.

There is also a difference in casting, and it is also quite crucial, which is the voice of the character.

Ye Chen wants to remake "Journey to the West", he wants to revisit the classic of "Journey to the West", and he wants to get as close to the original work as possible. In his thoughts, if you remake the classics, you are in this shadow, if you want to add your own things to it, it will become four dislikes, and he thinks that he does not have such a ability to add a little thing to surpass the classics, just reproduce it peacefully. After all, he has always called himself a "porter" in his heart.

In the reproduction of different classic works in another world in this world, he clearly positions himself in his heart, he is just a "porter", he has his own mission! He just chooses his works appropriately to express what he wants to express in different moods and different situations, and this is one of the pleasures he brings by reproducing these works!

During the casting days, Ye Chen was bored in the room every day, watching various movies and TV series, especially comedy and love, and he wanted to first select the actors and dubbing that he thought was suitable and liked from the vast entertainment industry.

If he has his eye on an actor, he will get the contact information of the other party through guò channels and contact the other party in person.

However, it was extremely difficult to carry out this matter from the beginning, and he underestimated the trouble his reputation in the entertainment industry brought to him - most artists heard him Ye Chen and didn't ask anything, or directly or euphemistically refused.

He couldn't find a few suitable artists to audition!

During this period, the news that "Ye Chen will invest in making a movie and invite actors to audition but has been repeatedly rejected" spread in the circle, and Ye Chen, a young writer who disappeared in front of the public media camera not long ago and was generally considered to be "out of the limelight" in the circle, returned to cause heated discussions among the media and netizens in the circle.

"Ye scolded and scolded that he will invest in making a movie, Yuan Fang, what do you think?" - New Wolf Entertainment

Not long ago, the young writer Ye Chen, who was bombarded by netizens, was ready to invest in making a movie, but he was repeatedly rejected to find star actors, is this the reincarnation of cause and effect? -- Tencent Entertainment

According to the understanding and analysis of relevant insiders, the reason why Ye Chen is difficult to find people in the circle is because his actions in the entertainment industry have been repeatedly bombarded and dissatisfied by netizens and the media. And because of their public image problems, those artists were afraid of being influenced by themselves, so they refused the invitation of the other party" - The Paper

According to people familiar with the matter, an invited artist ignored Ye Chen's invitation because he was promoted and instructed by Liang Zihua, the eldest brother in the film industry, in order to draw a clear line. -- Entertainment variety shows

After exposing the news that Ye Chen was going to invest in making a movie but was repeatedly rejected by artists, various relevant revelations from the media in the circle came out, showing how bad Ye Chen's reputation and popularity in the circle are now, and how unpopular he is.

Some media ridiculed that Ye Chen has now offended the three levels of the circle thoroughly, scolded reporters, offended the media, bombarded the film industry brother Liang Zihua, offended the other party's related connections and artists, and bombarded netizens and offended netizens.

It's hard to think that such a reputation doesn't stink, and it's no wonder that in today's situation, your reputation is so bad, no matter what your play and script are, how dare those artists take your play, because as an actor and artist, the most powerful capital is public image.

Just like Ye Xuan, he was originally a first-line star, but because of negative news, he fell off the altar overnight.

And the media reported these revelations, and netizens also watched the excitement, and many people felt funny when they saw Ye Chen being so unpopular in the circle. became a topic of conversation after dinner, and all kinds of ridicule and ridicule followed.

Some netizens ridiculed: "If you want to say that this person is poor, I don't accept others, just serve Ye Chen!"

Judging from these, Ye Chen is now hitting a wall in the entertainment industry.

The first time he did this kind of thing, he encountered such a tricky problem, and Ye Chen felt irritable at first. However, this kind of thing is of his own making, he is not afraid, nor is it false, after a short period of irritability, he quickly calms down and formally thinks about the problems he is facing.

He began to attack from a different angle, since those protagonists on the screen don't care about themselves, the entertainment industry compares him to being a "plague god" now, and people with a bad reputation don't care about themselves, so he looks for those "old supporting actors" with good acting skills.

In fact, there are many "old supporting actors" and "old dragons" in the entertainment industry whose acting skills are much better than those popular "popular Xiaosheng and Hua Dan", but most of them can only play supporting roles because of their own image, or they do not have a background under certain rules to support, so they have always ended up in a state of neither popular nor purple, and have been playing tricks and supporting roles.

Ye Chen figured it out a little bit, and his thoughts suddenly became a lot clearer, and those supporting roles in "Journey to the West" could also be played, so he put the casting direction on those "supporting roles" with superb acting skills.

Time flickered, and in mid-August, after nearly a month of hard work, Ye Chen finally finished all the casting.

In this month's vast casting,

In a crew in Hengdian, he found a "dragon uncle" who usually helps the crew distribute boxed lunches, and often plays funny when he uses it, the uncle is slightly chubby, in his forties, his eyes are very funny, and he is a little silly when he is funny, and he has a bit of the temperament of the "second master" in "Journey to the West".

(ps: I don't want to skip all kinds of preparatory links at once, the pace is too fast, but it's really hard to write, and I'm still grateful to the two helmsmen of the "Cold and Warm Self-Knowing 666" book friends, I'm grateful!)
