China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 53 New Script "Journey to the West"

The next morning, Lin Xuan drove to the company.

"Miss Hua."

"Well, let's take a look at the information."

Wang Jinhua handed over two stacks of A4 paper.

"Why are there two books? Sister Hua, didn't you say that I was asked to play the leading role in a play?"

Lin Xuan had been thinking about this while filming on the crew.

Wang Jinhua made coffee for him and explained:
"Two production groups have sent audition invitations one after another. I have read the information and the probability of passing based on your conditions is very high.

But the filming time of the two dramas overlaps, so let you take a look and choose one from them. "

Audition invitations are sent to the company. In principle, all suitable actors in the company, including Ren Quan, have the right to choose their own roles.

But Wang Jinhua was afraid that the two of them would watch a movie at the same time and end up being unhappy, so she called Lin Xuan over in advance to let him choose first.

Although Ren Quan is also a very good actor, in Wang Jinhua's heart, Lin Xuan is better in terms of acting skills and appearance, literary and martial arts, and has greater potential in the future.

So in many aspects, she will be biased towards Lin Xuan.

After listening to Wang Jinhua's explanation, Lin Xuan nodded and opened the first book of information.

While he was watching, Wang Jinhua introduced:
"This drama is called "Youth". It is a youth idol drama. The director is the producer of "Huanzhugege". It is expected to shoot [-] episodes, and the total investment is not very large.

They invited you to audition for the male lead, but this drama is an ensemble drama, so the male lead's role is not as important as you might think. "

Lin Xuan briefly looked at the information.

This drama tells the story of three children of a family and their respective lovers.

Youth dramas are always bound to have bloody scenes such as cheating, breakups, reconciliation, and jumping off buildings, and this drama is no exception.

Lin Xuan reluctantly read it, then shook his head slightly, obviously not very interested in this script.

Later generations have never heard of the name of this drama, so it is most likely not very popular.

Putting the first script aside, Lin Xuan picked up the second script.

""Journey to the West"!

Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. Isn't this the originator of "ghost beasts"? I actually encountered him.

"This drama is a project of Qin Provincial TV Station. It is considered a medium investment. The person you are looking for to audition is the fifth male lead, Qiao Ling'er. He seems to be the reincarnation of Lord Tathagata and falls in love with two women in the human world."

As he said this, Wang Jinhua couldn't help but laugh.

The Buddha reincarnated and fell in love in the human world, and it was a love triangle. The plot was also a bit bloody.

Lin Xuan was somewhat interested in this drama and retorted:

"I think it's very reasonable. If you have been a Buddha for tens of thousands of years, you can't enjoy it."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's disrespectful to Buddha." Wang Jinhua warned him seriously.

"Okay, no more." Lin Xuan quickly shut up.

Most people in the film and television industry are very superstitious, especially those in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

We all know that actors rely on support to become popular, and success depends on their lives.

However, such a metaphysical question of fate cannot be answered by mortals. They can only pray to God and Buddha for their blessings.

Therefore, many celebrities are instigating when donating money during disasters.

When donating money for incense and incense to God and Buddha, that is called generosity, and millions are just a sprinkling of water.

After all, only if you donate a lot can the Buddha see your sincerity.

The drama "Journey to the West" can also be regarded as a classic childhood memory.

The plot breaks out of the framework of the original Journey to the West and boldly adapts the story of the four masters and apprentices after they successfully learned the scriptures.

The general plot is this: Buddha Wutian arrives and Buddha Tathagata passes away.

Since then, the three realms have been in chaos. Wutian has imprisoned all the Buddhas and led his men to occupy Lingshan.

However, Tathagata Buddha will return to the Three Realms 33 years later with the help of the reincarnated soul boy and seventeen relics.

If you want to permanently occupy heaven and rule the three realms, you must obtain seventeen relics and kill the reincarnated soul boy.After going through untold hardships, the four masters and disciples of Wukong finally found the soul boy, obtained the relics, and rescued all the Buddhas in the sky.

In the end, Wukong and Wutian duel, and both of them die together. Tathagata is reborn and saves Wukong.

In this play, Tang Seng is no longer a helpless monk.

Instead, he has become a master of decisive killing, and ordinary little monsters are no match for him.

Classic characters such as Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Buddha, and Nezha have also been significantly changed.

After Lin Xuan finished reading the two scripts, Wang Jinhua helped analyze:
"Journey to the West is very well-known, and the producers are very bold. It is the first time in the industry to film the story behind the story.

So no matter what the final effect is, the popularity will definitely not be low, and even the number [-] male can get a lot of attention.

"Youth Out" doesn't have a big investment and the theme is average, but since you are the male protagonist, you will definitely have the most roles.

It just conflicts with the costume drama route we set.

Just take the information back and study it carefully. Which one should you choose? Just give me a reply within three days. "

"Need not."

Lin Xuan shook his head, picked up the script of "Journey to the West" and said:
"Sister Hua, don't think about it, just choose it."

Wang Jinhua frowned, seeming to blame him for making such a rash decision:

"Be serious and don't regret it later if you make the wrong choice."

Lin Xuan was wronged and explained: "Sister Hua, I have really thought about it seriously.

The script of "Youth Goes Out" is too ordinary and boring to watch. There is also "Journey to the West" which is interesting. "

Wang Jinhua was worried: "You must have thought about it."

"Sure!"

Wang Jinhua nodded: "Okay, then you go back and prepare, and I will accompany you to the audition in a few days.

By the way, remember to keep this matter of your choice of drama a secret.You came here today and only got an audition invitation for "Journey to the West", do you understand? "

Lin Xuan understood what Wang Jinhua meant.

There are so many suitable actors in the company, why is Lin Xuan qualified to pick and choose, while others can only eat what he has left?
Of course it's because the boss likes him.

In fact, everyone knows this kind of thing, and those who can survive in the industry are not fools.

However, the surface work must be done well, otherwise the company will continue to operate if its actors are at each other's throats.

The entertainment industry is not about fighting and killing...

"Sister Hua, I know all this."

"That's good, then go back and be careful on the way."

…………

The drama "Youth Out" requires three couples.

Wang Jinhua simply invited all the male and female artists under his command to audition.

A few days later, Lin Xuan learned that Ren Quan had successfully auditioned to play the male lead in the drama.

Pan Yueming plays the second male lead, Li Bingbing plays the first female lead, and Fan Xiaopang plays the second female lead.

Lin Xuan was worried that the two of them would quarrel over the ranking issue.

I didn't expect that he was worrying too much.

Li Bingbing debuted very early and his acting skills are also very good, so it is natural to play the female lead.

And Fan Xiaopang is preparing to take off the title of "professional maid". She is already very surprised to be cast as the second female lead. She doesn't have the capital to compete with Li Bingbing for the time being.

So so far, the relationship between the two is pretty good.

Because of the same name, it also means a bit of a close friend.

It may be that Fan Xiaopang comes from behind and officially challenges Li Bingbing's status before the plastic sisterhood between the two breaks down.
