Time slipped away secretly in his fingers, and in a flash, more than half a month had passed, for more than half a month, Lin Zijie had been immersed in writing the script of "Journey to the West", after more than half a month of hard work, the script was finally written by him, and the sales of his new album "I'm Busy" were almost coming to an end, the total sales of all channels, so far, close to more than eight million sales, and the sales of the second album, not much different, the sales of inland China are slightly inferior to the second sales, This time, the increase in sales is due to the sales of overseas releases, which is why this achievement has been achieved.

After the script was written, Lin Zijie began to work on the recruitment of actors in "Journey to the West", in general, "Journey to the West" does not need many main actors, he is the leading actor, Yang Zihan plays Bai Jingjing, Yao Hongyan plays Zixia Fairy, and then there are the main roles of Spider Spirit, Bull Demon King, Second Master, Blind, Iron Fan Princess, Tang Sanzang and so on.

These roles, the others are okay, just a little bit, in the play, the image is not too distinct, what Lin Zijie values most is the two roles of the second master and Tang Sanzang, these two roles have a unique performance in the play, with their own distinct colors, they must be actors who conform to the taste of the original time and space, as for the spring thirteen niang spider spirit, Lin Zijie plans to invite Liu Yushi to play.

After doing some planning, Lin Zijie immediately prepared to notify Yang Zihan and Liu Yushi, first of all, Yang Zihan, after Lin Zijie talked to her on the phone, Yang Zihan happily agreed, after all, Lin Zijie had already informed her before. Yang Zihan has been staying in Kyoto since filming He Qifeng's TV series, as for Liu Yushi, the schedule is a bit tight now, and there are several movies to be filmed, but as soon as she received that it was Lin Zijie's new play, she was also very happy to accept it.

After finalizing the two main roles, Lin Zijie focused on the two roles of the second master and Tang Sanzang, and first called He Qifeng, and He Qifeng recommended a few actors to him. Soon. Lin Zijie finalized the role of Tang Sanzang among the several actors recommended by He Qifeng, and the actor was called Qin Ying, an old actor in Xianggang. Lin Zijie searched for his information. I feel that he is very in line with the image of Tang Sanzang in the play "Journey to the West". Immediately, he called and informed Qin Ying.

It was no surprise that as soon as Qin Ying heard that it was a new movie invested by Xingyi, she felt like a pie was falling on her head. Excited, he immediately took over the play, and for some of the remaining roles, Lin Zijie came to Hengdian to rent an office space again and recruit some actors to audition for a decision.

After ten days of auditioning, many of the roles in "Journey to the West" were finalized according to Yiyi, and many of the roles were recommended by some film and television companies, and some were also recommended by He Qifeng, but the main role of the second master was unsettled.

The role of the second master, the original time and space was played by Wu Mengda, and in the days of the audition, although many people auditioned for this role, there was no one who matched Wu Mengda's image.

At noon, Lin Zijie closed the audition room, prepared to have lunch, and came to Hengdian Cinema Street, at this time, passing by the door of a small shop, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes stopped at a middle-aged figure in a shop called "Luoshui Shallot Cake", the middle-aged figure was about forty years old, with a big belly, a white horse coat on the upper body, gray shorts on the lower body, and a cigarette in his mouth, was reading the newspaper in the store, after Lin Zijie saw it, in an instant, he was associated with the image of Wu Mengda in the original time and space, and found that this person still has a lot of similarities with Wu Mengda, with a similar figure, similar face shape, although the appearance is a little different, but the image is much more consistent than those auditioning actors, this is really a charcoal in the snow!

Lin Zijie quickly made a decision in his heart, and walked to the door of the Naluo Shallot Shop, the middle-aged man glanced at Lin Zijie at this time, and then greeted with a smile: "Young man, do you want to eat green onion cakes?" ”

Lin Zijie looked at his smile, and immediately affirmed this person even more, because when he laughed, it was too similar to Wu Mengda's feeling, and he immediately took out his business card and said straight to the point: "I am the president of Xingyi Media and a director, I want to invite you to shoot a movie, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

The middle-aged man froze for a moment when he heard this, took the business card handed over by Lin Zijie, looked at it, and then looked at Lin Zijie with a little disbelief and said: "I'm sorry, I'm just a cake seller, I don't know how to make any movies, you found the wrong person, there are many actors in this hall!" ”

Lin Zijie smiled, not in a hurry, and continued: "Have you heard of Xingyi Media? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I haven't heard of it!" ”

"Then do you know the film and television works of "People in Embarrassment", "Crazy Racing" and "The Best Family"?" Lin Zijie continued to ask.

The middle-aged man still shook his head, seemingly a little impatient, a little bit of an eviction order: "Young man, don't say it, I'm just a cake seller, if you want to find an actor, go find it somewhere else!" What kind of scene will it be filmed! ”

Hearing this, Lin Zijie was speechless and worried, he could see that the middle-aged man should not believe what he said, but when he was worried, at this time, a young man in his twenties suddenly walked into the store, the young man was dark-skinned, sweating all over his body, and walked into the store with a big white box, and the middle-aged man said to him: "Xinfan, the goods are delivered!" ”

"Hmm~" The young man named Xin Fan nodded and said, "Dad, I'll take a shower first, it's so hot!" ”

The young man was about to run into the bathroom in the store, when he passed in front of Lin Zijie, he was slightly stunned, and Lin Zijie was also stunned, because he was a little familiar with this young man, and it seemed that he had come to his audition room two days ago.

"You are Director Lin~" The young man was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that Director Lin would come to his cake shop.

"Hmm~ You're the actor who auditioned a few days ago!" Lin Zijie nodded

"yes, yes~ Why did you get here!" The young man said with some excitement

"Well, that's right, in my play, there is one main role missing now, and this main role, after I just saw your father, I found that he is extremely suitable for the role in the play, and I want to find him to participate, but your father doesn't seem to want to film!" Lin Zijie said

"What, you're going to find my dad to film?" The young man was obviously stunned, then looked at his father and said: "Dad, this is a famous director in China, who has won a lot of stars, and many famous actors are competing to participate in his roles, why don't you agree?" ”

"Oh~ is he really the director?" When the middle-aged man heard this, he was also stunned, and then said: "Xinfan, it's not that I don't shoot, but I've always been a cake seller, how can I make movies?" ”

"If you can't shoot, can you learn? Who didn't come from the newcomer! Don't worry, there are a lot of old actors in my play, and they will guide you," Lin Zijie said

"But, but~" The middle-aged man hesitated, seemed to be thinking, and said after being silent for a long time: "Then may I ask, what role am I in the play?" Also, how long does it take to shoot, I have to take care of my own store, and I don't have much time to film! ”

"Dad, why do you care so much, you just go to filming, I'm still watching this store, I'll call my sister over to help!" The young man chimed in

"In this play, you are a main actor in it, the role is very heavy, and the filming time is very long, but don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly!" Lin Zijie said

"How much will I be paid?" The middle-aged man is a real person, so he is naturally concerned about the fruits of his labor.

"According to the salary of the third-tier actors, I will give you a salary of 500,000 yuan for this play, what do you think?" Lin Zijie said, after all, this middle-aged man is filming for the first time, and he feels that this salary is already very sorry for him.

"Half a million?" When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was excited, how many cakes he had to sell to make 500,000 yuan, and then said: "Okay, then deal!" I'll take your play! ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man finally agreed, Lin Zijie also breathed a sigh of relief, and soon, the middle-aged man invited Lin Zijie into the store, and the three of them sat together to negotiate for a while, Lin Zijie briefly said about this play, some of the middle-aged man's roles in it, and after the discussion, he talked about other topics, and chatted for about half an hour, Lin Zijie also knew some of the middle-aged man's family foundation, the middle-aged man's name is Li Yuncong, he has a son and a daughter, his daughter is in college, as for his wife, He died a few years ago.
