752. Great Sage Casting
Lin Feng went to the group "Dear", but Li Mingjuan naturally couldn't refuse.
On the other hand, the preliminary preparations for "The Monkey King" have also reached a critical moment.
To start selecting a main character.
Wang Yifan's movie casting auditions are generally not made public.
It's an internal audition.
To put it bluntly, Wang Yifan set a list and invited them to audition.
Instead, anyone who recommends it can come to audition.
When it reaches Wang Yifan's level, if he really makes a fuss about his movies, actors across the country will probably be interested.
The audition location was arranged in Huaxin Group Building.
Early on, actors and artists who received the invitation arrived at Huaxin Group Building and were waiting for the audition.
And it can be called a gathering of stars.
The audition candidate for the male lead, this time, is different from before, with five auditions.
For other movies, perhaps this scale is really not big, only five?
However, for Wang Yifan's movies and the super-major production of "The Monkey King", there are enough five.
Because according to Wang Yifan's usual habits, they are all candidates he directly selected.
Needless to say, Li Junsheng is Wang Yifan's official male lead and has had a wonderful performance in "Edge of Tomorrow", so he is the most popular.
By the way, although "The Monkey King" has not started filming, in fact, the preliminary publicity has already been put into place since the project was established.
The official website of the movie "The Monkey King" was established very early.
In fact, the candidate for the male lead of "The Monkey King" was hotly discussed by netizens on the Internet for a long time.
Netizens even initiated multiple votes.
But what's interesting is that although Li Junsheng has the highest votes every time he votes, the other candidates have always been very popular.
One of them is Chen Jin, the actor who plays the drama version of Monkey King, who also has a lot of voices.
Although Chen Jin is nearly 60 years old this year, age is not a problem for celebrity actors, especially male actors.
The main reason is that Chen Jin's image as the Monkey King has become more and more popular with the replay of the drama "Journey to the West" that has been continuously broadcast over the years.
So this time, Chen Jin was also on Wang Yifan's alternative list.
But in fact, Wang Yifan had already passed Chen Jin away in his heart!
Because his "The Monkey King" can be said to be completely different from the original Monkey King in "Journey to the West", and can be said to be the brand new Monkey King.
But this is not the main reason. The main reason is that Wang Yifan actually doesn't like Chen Jin very much.
Although Chen Jin has indeed portrayed the role of Monkey King Sun Wukong, this person is self-reliant to be the actor of Monkey King Sun Wukong. As long as there is a film and television work related to Journey to the West, he will come out to show his presence, and he has a sense of relying on his seniority. Anyway, he has all kinds of dissatisfaction with the image of the new Monkey King Sun Wukong and the actor.
He looks like the Monkey King, the Monkey King, no one can act well except him Chen Jin.
This is very disgusting.
However, Chen Jin has a very high seniority, and this time, it was Lin Husheng who said hello personally, so Wang Yifan also included him on the alternative list.
Of course, Chen Jin has a high seniority and a strong qualification, but other audition staff are also not inferior.
In addition to Li Junsheng, a top popular artist who already has the trend of top Chinese stars, the other candidates, in addition to Chen Jin, there are also the king of Hong Kong, Chen Dahua!
Chen Dahua recommended himself. Chen Dahua especially likes Journey to the West and especially likes Sun Wukong. This is something that many people know, so when he learned that Wang Yifan was going to shoot the brand new "The Monkey King", Chen Dahua was the first to recommend himself.
Then there is Chen Bu, who is also Wang Yifan’s old partner.
Because the Monkey King in the film "The Monkey King" takes place before the Buddhist scriptures, and is the story of Sun Wukong when he first appeared.
Therefore, there is another candidate, Chu Jie, the new generation of young actors.
Chu Jie is known as the number one acting person among the new generation of actors in China, and the key is that he is very popular, but here he is really just a younger brother.
In addition to the audition for the male lead, today is also a little later.
The audition candidates for the heroine are much more than the hero. After all, there are two heroines in "The Monkey King".
One is the first love of the Great Sage, Fairy Linlang.
The other one is the second female fairy that the Great Saint met, the Fairy Qinglian.
It is hard to say which one is the absolute heroine. In terms of roles, Fairy Linlang is indeed more than Fairy Qinglian, and is also the first love of the Great Sage. But in fact, Fairy Qinglian is much more plump and more likable than Fairy Linlang.
Compared to the male lead, the candidates for the female lead are actually more popular.
The main reason is that playing the Monkey King is actually facing great pressure for actors.
After all, although Chen Jin's character is criticized, to be honest, the image of the great sage he created back then is indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts.
And how difficult it is to surpass the previous work, especially a well-known famous character that is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
And it will inevitably be compared with the previous work.
And the heroine in turn doesn't have that much pressure.
There are more than ten auditions for the two roles, Fairy Linlang and Fairy Qinglian.
It includes four major actresses in China, four young actresses, and the most popular actresses at present.
"Junsheng, did you come so early?" When Chen Dahua arrived, Li Junsheng had already arrived.
"I'm idle, come here earlier." Li Junsheng said with a smile.
Although everyone is a competitor today, for actors of Chen Dahua and Li Junsheng, they naturally have their own pride. It is impossible for other actors to do everything they can to get ahead.
Of course, this is also because Wang Yifan is the biggest brand forever.
"Hey, actually I'm just here to join in the fun and compete with you, I'm really a little weak." Chen Dahua said with a wry smile.
"That may not be true. Brother Hua, you are called the King of Eternal God. It seems that people believe you are younger than me." Li Junsheng quipped with a smile.
Chen Dahua nodded Li Junsheng and shook his head and laughed.
"What the media doesn't know about God, don't you know about it?"
Chen Dahua’s so-called immortal king is actually the result of a concave character.
After all, Chen Dahua is a little older, and there are really not many protagonists at this age, so he needs this kind of character, which will make him feel old when he plays some roles.
At this time, Chen Bu also walked in.
"Brother Hua, Junsheng, am I late?" Chen Bu asked with a smile.
"We're here too early, but judging from your current appearance, have you come out?" Li Junsheng asked.
Chen Bu nodded and said, "Yes, it's been a few months now. If I can't get out, I'll be really finished."
Chapter completed!
