Of course, the actors Liu Zixia chose are all expected candidates.

In case the actor is not suitable for the role, or the actor has no schedule, or the actor is not willing to take on the role.

When the time comes, we have to choose again. It's a headache to think about it!

So Liu Zixia vowed that he would never choose actors by himself except for the main characters when shooting TV dramas. It's really a waste of time!

No wonder many large enterprises are willing to use headhunting companies to find talents for themselves, because selecting talents is also a technical job!

"You ask me how much I love you, how much I love you..."

Just when Liu Zixia wanted to have a rest, the mobile phone ring suddenly rang.

Pick up the mobile phone, a glance, is Lang Wenxing called, sliding green small phone, answer: "Hello, star brother, what's up?"

"Well, Zixia, President Lin of Rongda film and television just called. He said that the shooting location, props, costumes and crew of journey to the West have been almost ready."

When the phone was connected, Lang Wenxing's voice came: "he asked me to ask you, how is your screening of roles? Have you decided on the roles in the TV series? When can we shoot? "

Is the crew ready?

How long has it been? It's too fast, isn't it?

Hearing Lang Wenxing's words, Liu Zixia was stunned for a moment and then said:

"Ah, the roles are almost screened, but there are still some roles that have not been selected. But none of these actors have auditioned yet, and I'm not sure when they will be able to shoot until the actors are decided. "

"Why are there any unselected ones?"

Hearing Liu Zixia's reply, Lang Wenxing was a little anxious. He said, "I said Zixia, can you let me save snacks? You know Mr. Lin's driving force just now, I wish he could eat me. "

"Next time he calls you, you can ask him to call me directly."

When Liu Zixia heard Lang Wenxing's complaint, he rolled his eyes and said, "besides, it takes at least half a month for the roles to be screened, auditioned and confirmed. Do you really think I'm a God? Can you do it all by yourself? "

"You mean you want someone to help you choose the actors?" Lang Wenxing recognized the meaning of Liu Zixia's words.

"People don't have to. In a few days, director Xu Ke will come to Shanghai to help me."

Liu Zixia shook his head and said, "originally, I wanted the actors to audition in the studio of Jinghua. But at the moment, I find that there are too many things going on. I don't want to go back to Beijing in the near future, so I plan to audition directly in Shanghai. "

Speaking of this, Liu Zixia paused and continued: "brother Xing, do you think this is good? You can arrange several offices for me in Wenxing entertainment Shanghai Branch, and I can use them for audition and work arrangement, OK?"

"OK, I'll call Zhang Jie in a moment and ask her to arrange it."

Lang Wenxing recalled something and said, "by the way, you don't know. Zhang Jie is now the general manager of Shanghai Branch. If you have anything to do in the future, just go to her."

Lang Wenxing transferred Zhang Jie to Shanghai Branch for two reasons

One is that after graduating from University, Zhang Jie first worked in Wenxing entertainment for a year, and then studied with Lang Wenxing for two years. Her accumulated work experience is almost the same. It's time to put her in the branch office below to have a good experience.

Another is that Liu Zixia's home is in Shanghai, and her future work must be to run between Beijing and Shanghai. If Zhang Jie comes here, she can help Liu Zixia more.

After all, Liu Zixia and Zhang Jie are very familiar, and Zhang Jie is Lang Wenxing's niece. With his family, he can rest assured.

"Zhang Jie has come to Shanghai?" Hearing this news, Liu Zixia was still a little pleased. "This girl is really good. She didn't say hello to me when she came to Shanghai."

Lang Wenxing said: "OK, there's plenty of time to say hello. You'd better fix the cast of journey to the West for me now. I'm afraid of Mr. Lin."

"Yes, I know. If there's nothing wrong, I'll hang up." Liu Zixia scratched her hair and said, "I have to continue to screen actors here."

"Well, I won't disturb you. Hang up." Lang Wenxing replied and hung up.

Putting down the mobile phone, Liu Zixia looked at the photos and information on the computer, sighed, and said to himself, "ah, I'm also working hard!"

……

It will soon be Friday, 9:40 a.m.

In a reception room on the sixth floor of Wenxing entertainment Shanghai Branch, Liu Zixia met Ma Huaiwen who came to audition.

In other words, looking at photos is different from looking at real people. Compared with photos, real man Ma Huaiwen is much more handsome

Nearly 1.8 meters tall, well proportioned, with short hair, fair skin and beautiful eyes, he is not so handsome as more feminine.

"Hello, Mr. Ma!" Liu Zixia stood up and held out his right hand to Ma Huaiwen.

Ma Huaiwen also extended his hand to hold Liu Zixia, and said in a clear, mellow voice, "Hello, Mr. Liu!"

"Miss Ma, thank you very much for coming to the audition." Liu Zixia asked Ma Huaiwen to sit down and said with a smile, "I didn't delay your time, did I?"

Ma Huaiwen shook his head and said, "no, there are not so many affairs in the hospital now. At my age, I have to make some changes appropriately. I'm just curious, how do you know about me? "

"Miss Ma, I saw your stage play" master Jianzhen "in Shanghu Grand Theater." Liu Zixia said a reason, "I think the master Jianzhen you play is a real image and very infectious, so I invite you to audition."

Master Jianzhen?

Hearing Liu Zixia's name, Ma Huaiwen raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "I don't know what role you want me to play?"

"Oh, it's the Tang monk in journey to the West." Liu Zixia said.

It's the character!

Ma Huaiwen suddenly realized that, at the same time, he was also secretly glad.

After suno called ma Huaiwen, Ma Huaiwen has not been idle these days. Since he guessed the play he wanted to try, he put himself in the role of journey to the West.

He's matching himself!

In addition, Sunuo said that the audition role was Male No.1, so he tried all four of Tang Seng's apprentices, and finally felt that Tang Seng was the most suitable role for him.

Therefore, in recent days, he has made a desperate attempt to figure out the role of Monk Tang, and has carried out all-round simulation in terms of temperament, movement, expression, speaking speed and tone.

Ma Huaiwen even thinks that now he is half a Tang monk!

"Mr. Ma, please read the script first."

Seeing Ma Huaiwen's face showing a clear look, Liu Zixia picked up a folder from one side of the table, handed it to him and said:

"There are four protagonists in this play, and the whole play revolves around these four protagonists. As a monk Tang who runs through the whole story of learning from scriptures, he is also a soul character! It can be said that if you play Tang Monk alive, then our play will surely be on fire! "

"Well, I'll look at the script first." Ma Huaiwen nodded slightly, took the script and read it.

As I have said before, the novel of journey to the west is quite different from the TV play of journey to the West.

Although Ma Huaiwen has been reading the journey to the West these days, when he saw the script, he immediately frowned.

First of all, the original somewhat awkward words have become common vernacular; Secondly, the plot has changed; Finally, the character of the character is more rich and distinct.

He is a kind, honest, strong willed, compassionate and kind-hearted ascetic monk, a Buddhist who is hardworking, fearless of difficulties and dangers, but somewhat fatuous and stubborn, regardless of right and wrong

In this more vivid play, what Ma Huaiwen sees is such a living Buddhist full of contradictions.

But this monk, with many shortcomings and advantages, devoted his whole life to the cause of learning from the Scriptures, and finally obtained the Scriptures and achieved the right results.

It's not that Ma Huaiwen hasn't played any stage plays about monks, such as Shaolin Temple and Dharma Master, including master Jianzhen, which Liu Zixia just said.

However, both Shaolin Temple, which is famous for its martial arts, and master Jianzhen, which is famous for its Buddhism, are perfectly shaped, with almost no shortcomings. What the audience sees is a perfect image.

there are spots even on the sun.

Should perfect people or images exist?

Obviously not!

There is something wrong with a saint, let alone an ordinary monk?

I remember that Ma Huaiwen spent half a month in Lingyin Temple of Yuhang before rehearsing the stage play of master Jianzhen.

Every day is to listen to the Buddhist dharma in the temple and observe the every move of those Buddhists in the temple. Sometimes, Ma Huaiwen will write down their words.

However, he found that these Buddhists did not live as people imagined. They were accompanied by ancient Buddhas and meditated on Buddhist Scriptures every day.

They also eat fireworks, use computers and mobile phones, and sometimes make noise or even fight because of one or two words.

This is the real life!

In the script, Tang Monk's distinctive but conflicting personalities tell Ma Huaiwen that he is a man of flesh and blood, the monk who goes to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures!

……

After reading the script for about half an hour, Ma Huaiwen became more and more fascinated by it. He was reluctant to give up the script.

When Liu Zixia looks at this situation, can't he?

The play of journey to the west is so thick. If you really wait for it to be finished, it will be dark. Do you want to try a fart play?

No way, Liu Zixia can only interrupt him: "that, Mr. Ma, do you think it's almost the same?"

"Ah?" Ma Huaiwen looked up at Liu Zixia in a daze, and his eyes began to shine: "almost, almost."

He said so, but his eyes kept sweeping the script.

"Mr. Ma, this is the part of the play you will try later." Liu Zixia had some helplessness, but he still took the script and turned to the plot of the 10th episode.
