Gu Bei once made a statistic that in the original book of "Journey to the West", there are more than 200 characters with names and surnames, and the four masters and apprentices are naturally the core of the whole story, but those gods and demons are also indispensable.

For each role, you have to find the most suitable actor.

The fairy is okay to say that when choosing those demons and monsters, the crew made a big difficulty, especially the white bone spirit, which made the entire casting team the most headache.

According to the requirements of director Yang Jie, Bai Gujing must first be a beauty, beautiful on the outside, very charming, but ruthless on the inside, in order to eat Tang Seng's meat, she changed several times, confused Tang Seng, and was finally beaten to death by Wukong with a stick.

But her strategy and several changes succeeded in playing the role of dividing the master and apprentice, Tang Seng resented Sun Wukong for killing innocents indiscriminately, and finally drove away the big apprentice.

Speaking of which, this role is no different from other banshees, but the name is not good, and when Director Yang Jie heard that she was playing a white bone spirit, none of them were willing.

"Bone Spirit? It's terrible, play an individual, right? Anything is fine, just don't play the white bone spirit! ”

But Director Yang Jie is reluctant to downgrade, because the white bone essence in her plan is very heavy, and not all actors can play it.

Someone recommended Liu Xiaoqing, she has already made a name for herself in the film and television industry because of her roles in "The Great Wall of the South China Sea" and "Little Flower", and in 80 years, she won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress with the comedy "Look at This Family".

After receiving the invitation, Liu Xiaoqing was very willing to act, but she put forward a condition, she wanted to play three roles by herself.

In other words, in addition to Mrs. White Bone, the village girl and the old woman have to be played by her.

Of course Yang Jie disagrees, although Bai Gujing is good at changing, she can't change everything, after all, makeup can't completely change her appearance, it looks like she's still her, which will make the audience very dramatic.

Later, I tried a few more actors, either they were unwilling, or Director Yang Jie was not satisfied.

Until now, the cast of this role is still undecided.

Although the crew has just returned to Beijing, it won't be long before they will leave for Zhangjiajie, the location of the location, and the white bone spirit has not yet been found.

In her previous life, Gu Bei had watched an interview with director Yang Jie, especially mentioning the casting process of the role of Bai Gujing, and it wasn't until two days before departure that she thought of a suitable actor - Yang Chunxia.

When watching that episode, Gu Bei didn't know who Yang Chunxia was, and he deliberately checked the information on the Internet, and only after learning about it did he know that this person was amazing.

The first heroine of the Peking Opera "Cuckoo Mountain" has always played a positive role on the opera stage, and she was already a well-known artist at that time.

Sure enough, when Director Yang Jie came to visit in person and put forward this idea, Teacher Yang Chunxia was immediately annoyed.

"What? Do you think I'm like a bone spirit? ”

Yang Jie could only quickly explain: "My white bone essence is not a face, not a bloody mouth, a green face and fangs, but a beauty, she not only has a beautiful image, but also has the noble dignity of the queen, not angry and powerful!" Her insidious cunning is manifested in instantaneous changes, and the requirements for the performance and the actors themselves are very high, and ordinary actors can't act, so I think you have to be! ”

Saying this, Teacher Yang Chunxia was moved, but he also put forward a request, it is okay to play the white bone spirit, but she will also play the king of the daughter country in the future.

Teacher Yang Chunxia made this request, perhaps hoping to clear his name through the role of the king of the daughter country.

After all, the White Bone Spirit is just too unpleasant.

According to director Yang Jie, she agreed to others.

But what happened next......

The role of Bai Gujing was very successfully portrayed by Teacher Yang Chunxia, but about her playing the king of her daughter country, Director Yang Jie finally broke her promise.

Now that he has come again, Gu Bei naturally doesn't want Director Yang Jie to lose his trust again.

In particular, the role of the king of the daughter country has been decided, and it is Zhu Lin that Gu Bei met when he performed in the graduation drama of the acting department before.

In the previous life, when Director Yang Jie promised others, maybe the role of the king of the daughter country had not yet been decided, but now that it has been decided, it is not good to fool people again.

But Gu Bei can't get involved in this matter now, he has to leave for Beijing Film Studio soon, and there are still many things that have not been decided about the Spring Festival Gala.

When he arrived at the gate of Beijing Film Studio, Gu Bei often came over some time ago, and he had already made a familiar face with the doorman's uncle, explained the situation, registered well, and pushed the bicycle in.

"Sister Zhu Lin!"

Zhu Lin was standing at the door of a building, and when he saw Gu Bei, he smiled and waved his hand.

Gu Bei asked Li Sufen to help pass the word before, and he was going to come over today, naturally not for the role of the king of the daughter country, but for another matter.

"Teacher Li only said that you have something to do with me, what is the matter?"

Zhu Lin also came back recently, and participated in the filming of a movie "The Legend of Liyuan" some time ago, in which she played the heroine Hua Xiangrong.

The day before yesterday, I was eating in the cafeteria, and I happened to meet Li Sufen, and I brought Gu Bei's words, saying that I was coming over today and had something to do with her.

"Let's talk right here, huh? It's all over your place, and you don't want to find a place to invite me to a cup of tea. ”

Zhu Lin glanced at Gu Bei: "If you have something, just say it, if you don't say it, I'll leave?" ”

There is a lot of age difference between the two, and Zhu Lin doesn't have so many scruples when she speaks, otherwise, she wouldn't be so casual.

"Don't, I'm looking for you."

Zhu Lin pursed his lips and smiled: "Say, what's the matter." ”

In the previous role of the king of the daughter country, Zhu Lin had been thinking about thanking Gu Bei, and he had planned it today, and when he finished talking about business, he would invite Gu Bei to have a meal.

Don't look at the white bone spirit who has attracted tens of thousands of suspicions, but for the role of the king of the daughter country, there were many people competing for it at that time.

"I'll just say it bluntly, our station is recently preparing to hold a large-scale theatrical performance during the Spring Festival, but we haven't found a suitable host, so I think of you."

"Me?"

Zhu Lin was stunned when he heard this.

"Xiaobei, can your unit still lack a host?"

That's what I asked.

If it was placed in the previous life, CCTV naturally had no shortage of hosts, and almost all the best hosts in the same field in the country were on CCTV.

But now it's a different story.

"You're talking about the announcer, not the host, and the two don't mean the same thing at all."

There are a lot of good announcers on CCTV, all of whom have the strongest business ability.

However, the host is different from the announcer, the announcer only needs to broadcast according to the press release, but the host, especially the host of a literary gala, must not only play the role of a string, but most importantly, must be able to adjust the atmosphere, as well as a strong ability to adapt on the spot.

"I say that, you get the idea, right?"

According to his own understanding, Gu Bei told Zhu Lin about the role and role played by the host in a performance.

Zhu Lin felt quite interesting when he heard it, but the question was......

"I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't done it before!"

"Everyone has a first time, and no one is born with anything, besides, there will be a script when the time comes, and there are not many places where you need to play personally, in addition, the host is not you, there are other people, you cooperate."

According to Gu Bei's idea, the hosting team is centered on two people, a man and a woman, just like Ni Zhao later, and several auxiliary hosts to help enliven the atmosphere together.

Now only Zhu Lin is decided, and the others have to be found slowly.

After all, this is a brand-new position, and there are really few suitable people in the domestic entertainment industry today.

In the previous life, the hosting team of the first Spring Festival Gala was very strange, two cross talk actors, a drama actor, and a movie actor.

The only outstanding one is Liu Xiaoqing, and even the clothes she wore on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala were all the rage back then.

Now that Gu Bei is here, this kind of good thing naturally has to give priority to taking care of friends, and he and Liu Xiaoqing don't know each other.

"But I'm inexperienced! If you don't do it well, don't delay the big thing. ”

Just now, Gu Bei had already introduced the details of this Spring Festival Gala to Zhu Lin.

The Chinese New Year's Eve will be broadcast nationwide, and hundreds of millions of TV viewers, although it is not a live broadcast, and there is no need to face to face, but Zhu Lin still feels a little panicked in his heart.

"Don't worry, I believe you can do a good job, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you."

"You?"

Zhu Lin was stunned again.

"You mean, let me be the host, that's what you mean, Xiaobei, can you do this kind of thing?"

Zhu Lin is actually already tempted, nervous is nervous, there is no bottom, she also knows that this is a rare good opportunity, as long as she can complete the task smoothly, she will definitely be popular all over the country.

As a result, this is actually Gu Bei's intention, if the leader disagrees, it won't be empty joy!

"Of course I can call the shots, let me tell you, I am now the second-in-command of the preparatory team for this Spring Festival Gala, responsible for all the specific work, now do you think I can call the shots?"

When Zhu Lin heard this, he was even more surprised.

How old is Gu Beicai?

I heard Shen Danping say before that Gu Bei only went to CCTV for an internship last year, and now it is estimated that he has just become a regular.

How can you be in charge of such a big project?

Gu Bei really has such a great ability, or ......

CCTV is gone?

Of course, you can only think about this in your heart, and you will definitely offend people when you say it.

"That's really to congratulate you, okay, since you're the second-in-command, and you come to the door in person, I'll promise you, but, let's talk ugly in front, if something goes wrong, don't blame me."

"No, no."

Seeing that Zhu Lin agreed, Gu Bei was relieved while being happy, before he came, he was really afraid that Zhu Lin would not be moved.

If Zhu Lin is unwilling, he can only start the backup plan and go to the 50-year-old Liu's mother who is still playing a girl.

The female number one in the presiding group is in place, and the rest of the candidates have to hurry up.

It's about to enter November.
