Why did Zhang Yu take on such a movie?

In the eyes of many people, the first movie he just starred in was a huge success, so he should keep up the good work.

There are definitely a lot of offers for him to star in.

But why did he choose such a supporting role in a drama?

Among them, the big reason is undoubtedly to give Wang Mei face.

Of course, Erlang Shen doesn't have much of a role in the film, but he's still pretty good.

As for Jiang Chengbin...

Zhang Yu didn't have much interaction with him, and even Chen Shan's role was politely rejected. Jiang Chengbin didn't have that much respect with him.

When giving people face, you can’t do it without a bottom line.

If this film is average, Zhang Yu probably won't even give Wang Mei face.

Of course, when asked by media reporters, they would not answer this way.

And media reporters obviously also have speculations.

But where can Zhang Yu personally say that it is topical?

"Consider it?" Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Why should you consider it? Director Jiang invites me, what's there to consider? Besides, it's still acting opposite Brother Jie."

Jiang Chengbin and Cheng Jie both smiled.

If others don't know, how can they not know?

When Zhang Yu took the role, Cheng Jie had not yet joined the cast, and the role of Sun Wukong had not been confirmed yet.

Jiang Chengbin didn't think he had that much respect either.

As soon as he invited him, Zhang Yu immediately agreed.

Did he know that this kid even rejected Chen Shan's drama?

Well, it’s not really a rejection.

If Li Hua picked it up, he would pick it up.

As a result, Li Hua didn't answer as he expected.

As for whether Li Hua will take the role after the script is revised, and whether Zhang Yu will take the role, it is still unclear.

"So will you compose the theme song for this movie?"

The reporter then asked about Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu composed the theme song for Zhang Hang and Xu Sen's movie last year.

"A Laugh in the Sea" has already won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Original Film Song.

And another song, "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down," is probably the strongest contender for Best Original Film Song at next year's Golden Dragon Awards in the eyes of many.

Both songs may win awards.

Moreover, both songs are extremely popular and have a great promotion effect on the movie.

Apart from anything else, Zhang Yu has never stopped receiving invitations for film and television theme songs.

"It depends on whether Director Jiang likes the song I wrote." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Wang Mei mentioned it, so the matter is basically settled.

"How could you not like it!" Jiang Chengbin said with a smile.

If Zhang Yu is willing to take over the theme song thing, that would be a good thing.

How could he refuse?

Looking for someone else?

Isn’t that looking for the far away instead of the near, losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds?

What's more, if he really finds someone else, what will everyone think?

Does he look down upon Zhang Yu's talent?

Why don't you get scolded to death by Zhang Yu's fans?

This movie is full of stars, and almost all the main creative cast are here.

Naturally, media reporters will not almost all focus on Zhang Yu like they did at the launch conference of "Crazy Stone".

There are many more media reporters coming today.

The focus of the entire press conference was undoubtedly Cheng Jie.

Chen Baoming is much worse.

Zhang Yu was not disappointed at all.

He is self-aware.

He is an international superstar, but he is still far away from that status.

The press conference ended quickly, some actors left, but most stayed.

Zhang Yu naturally stayed.

His scenes will be filmed first.

This was what Wang Mei fought for for him when he was making the shooting plan.

For such blockbusters, actors usually adjust their schedules, and rarely the crew adjusts their shooting plans.

Erlang Shen is undoubtedly a well-known mythological figure.

Related film and television works are not uncommon.

"Journey to the West" has appeared, and "The Romance of the Gods" undoubtedly has more scenes and is more exciting.

Of course, there are many related legends.

Such as splitting a mountain to save his mother, etc.

The Erlang God in this world is not much different from the Erlang God in the previous life.

There are even more literary works and film and television works.

Zhang Yu took the role and naturally did a lot of homework.

Erlang Shen is not only brave and resourceful, but also arrogant.

After the launch conference, it will naturally not be started immediately.

Instead, take the photo first.

Zhang Yu's pretending was okay, but Cheng Jie's pretending was very troublesome.

He had finished setting his makeup, and Cheng Jie had just started.

After all, Sun Wukong is a monkey.

His appearance is clear and handsome, his ears and shoulders are shining.

Wearing a three-mountain flying phoenix hat and a light yellow collar.

Gold-studded boots are lined with dragon stockings, and jade belts are decorated with eight treasures of flowers.

There is a crescent-shaped slingshot on his waist, and a three-pointed two-edged gun in his hand.

This is the appearance description of Erlang Shen in "Journey to the West".

Many film and television works also follow this description in character design.

However, the makeup of Erlang Shen in this movie is not based on the original work.

His ears were not hanging down from his shoulders, he was not wearing a flying phoenix hat, and he was not wearing a light yellow collar.

There is no artificial eye embedded in the middle of the forehead.

He was wearing a silver-white armor, which made him look more stylish.

However, even though it is very different from the description in the original work, as soon as Zhang Yu's costume appears, people immediately think of Erlang Shen.

As for why not follow the original work?

Perhaps in the TV series "Journey to the West", Erlang Shen is based on the original work, which leaves a deep impression on people.

If the movie remains like this, it will inevitably be criticized.

If you make a movie and it doesn’t get the praise of a TV series, then isn’t it going to make people laugh?

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

When Jiang Chengbin saw Zhang Yu standing in front of him after setting his makeup, he was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted three times in excitement.

This is Erlang Shen himself!

Not only the appearance, but also the temperament coincides with the Erlang Shen in Jiang Chengbin's mind.
