After Yu Chao introduced all the actors, he breathed a sigh of relief. After recording the program, his task had been completed more than half, and what happened next had nothing to do with him.

"Actors in the backstage have been introduced, so I will talk about the tasks specially arranged by the program team, and several directors also need to cooperate."

"This task is actually very simple. It's just an appetizer for a program. The program team specially prepared four topics for the four directors, namely our four classic classics."

"The four directors each choose a subject, and then the actors will choose to participate in the team of each director based on their own ideas. There are now a total of 36 actors, and each director has a team of up to nine."

"Now, please ask the four directors to start choosing topics, who will come first?"

Yu Chao looked at the four directors who were listening carefully to the rules. He did not decide which director to choose first, but kicked the choice to them.

Xu Wenruo and others played with each other, and then Xu Wenruo and Jiang Kai signaled Zhou Hong to choose the topic first with their hands. However, Zhou Hong shook her head, and she looked at Xu Wenruo instead.

"Director Xiao Xu is the youngest here, so you should choose first. A few of us old comrades will promote our style and make way for the young director."

Zhou Hong's words seemed meaningless, but Xu Wenruo didn't think too much, he was not a pretentious person, and it was meaningless to push them around.

"Then I'm disrespectful. Thank you for your humility. Well... I'll choose "Journey to the West"."

Seeing that Xu Wenruo had no intention of being polite, Zhou Hong and Jiang Kai looked smiling on their faces and didn't say anything more. Wang Tie snorted coldly, he just simply expressed dissatisfaction with Xu Wenruo.

Zhou Hong, who was behind Xu Wenruo, chose "Dream of Red Mansions", which was also her best role, and no one would compete with her. Jiang Kai unexpectedly chose "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Wang Tie was not allowed to choose in the end, and only "Water Margin" was left for him.

However, looking at the expressions of several people, I was quite satisfied with this choice. Even Wang Tie, who chose the last one, didn't say much. He really liked "Water Margin". After all, the rash aura in the play is very suitable for him.

After several directors made their choices, Xu Wenruo and others stood up and entered the corresponding rehearsal room. At this time, the actors in the backstage also began to perform the selection stage. They looked at the information given on the big screen and fell into heated discussion.

"Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Zhou Hong must be very good. Sisters, I want to choose Director Zhou Hong, don't compete with me, okay?"

"I think "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" directed by Jiang Kai is also very good. He is good at art films and will definitely be able to film the romantic feelings and heroism of the Taoyuan fraternity."

"Director Wang Tie's "Water Margin" is also a good choice. After all, he started out as a gangster film. Isn't Shuibo Liangshan also a big gangster?"

"But each director chooses at most nine people, so we're too late, so there's no seat."

"Sorry, my stomach hurts a little, so I go to the bathroom first."

"Ah, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'll go with you."

I don’t know which actor mentioned the rule that a director only had nine people, the backstage that was being discussed suddenly became quiet for three seconds, and then the clever actor couldn’t help but escape. After all, all the people here are hidden competitors.

Although we are all good brothers and sisters sitting together now, how many people in the entertainment industry can take it seriously? Even these unknown actors are very skilled in making scenes.

Xu Wenruo led by Xin Rou to a rehearsal hall. The three big words Xu Wenruo had been written at the door, and a number flashed on the light sign at the door. Xu Wenruo looked at it and now the number was zero.

"Is this my rehearsal hall? It's quite big."

Xu Wenruo briefly looked at the layout of the rehearsal hall. When entering through the gate, the three walls were mirrored, and the clothes and props were all available, and they did not appear very empty.

However, there was no one in the rehearsal hall at the moment, and it was a little deserted. Xu Wenruo looked at the door for a while and saw that several other directors also entered the hall, he also stepped in.

Xin Rou, who was following him, asked Xu Wenruo a little curiously. After this day of getting along, she had gradually figured out Xu Wenruo's temper. Although Xu Wenruo had a cold face, it seemed that it was difficult to get along with. In fact, Xu Wenruo's attitude was very approachable.

"Director Xu, I think there will be many actors who will choose to come to your team."

"You think on the contrary, there shouldn't be so many people. The first choice of these actors is definitely the other three directors. I guess they will choose me after their team is in full."

Unlike Xin Rou's blind confidence, Xu Wenruo is quite self-aware. From the attitudes of the previous actors, it can be seen that these actors all want to curry favor with the three great directors and have a very casual attitude towards Xu Wenruo.

Xu Wenruo was also very open-minded about this, and he didn't need anyone else to curry favor with him. Xu Wenruo's personal principles have always been, just do his own things with all his heart.

After hearing Xu Wenruo's answer, Xin Rou pouted dissatisfiedly. As a young fan of Xu Wenruo, she despised those actors who were tempted by the incest. Xu Wenruo is also a good director, but because her status in the circle is not as good as that of the other three directors, she was ignored by them.

Xin Rou saw the attitude of these actors towards Xu Wenruo very clearly in the audience. She just wanted to comfort Xu Wenruo, but she didn't expect that Xu Wenruo had a clear understanding of the actual situation and did not need her comfort at all.

Not long after Xu Wenruo entered the room, two people came in from outside. Seeing someone coming in, Xin Rou smiled on her face. She seemed to be happier than Xu Wenruo.

"Hello Director Xu, I'm here to disturb you, don't mind."

"Hello Director Xu, I am Ning Jun. I really like your filming "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". I hope you can give me more advice."

The two actors who walked into the room were Meng Da and Ning Jun. After seeing them, Xu Wenruo was actually very happy because these two actors were the two actors he admired the most. Unexpectedly, they actually chose themselves at the same time.

"Hello, come in quickly, let's talk first while they have not arrived yet."

"Do you two want to play a role? Let me tell me first, I think it's appropriate."

Xu Wenruo did not wait until all the actors arrived and then discussed the roles when they were allocated, but instead directly asked the two actors who came in first to choose on a first come first served basis. Xu Wenruo was not afraid of the later actors opposing it.

The actors who came later were either hesitant and entangled or were preparing to step on two boats, otherwise how could they come so late?

"I want to play Sun Wukong. This is my dream since I was a child, but I don't have the confidence to play well."

Ning Jun scratched his head and looked at Xu Wenruo embarrassedly. He seemed to think that his request was too much. After all, Sun Wukong is the well-deserved protagonist. He, an inconspicuous little actor, seemed a little whimsical.

"Yes, at least you have to try it. If you haven't tried it before, how can you know that you are not good? Then you will decide that you are responsible for playing Sun Wukong."

"Ah, thank you Director Xu, thank you, I will definitely work harder and live up to your expectations."

"Don't be so serious. I plan to adapt "Journey to the West" into a relaxed and funny version, so you have to relax."

"Yes, Director Xu."

Ning Jun looked at Xu Wenruo with gratitude. He now felt that he had really chosen Xu Wenruo right, and Xu Wenruo was not as serious as others said it.

"What about you, Meng Da, what role are you going to play."

"Anything is fine, Director Xu, please look at the arrangement. I don't have any requirements for the role."

Meng Da looked at Xu Wenruo with a smile. He handed over the choice to Xu Wenruo again and asked Xu Wenruo to make a choice for him. This trick is called retreating to advance.

"Why try to play Tang Monk? Break through yourself."

Xu Wenruo looked at Meng Da with a smile on his face. After hearing Xu Wenruo let him play Tang Monk, Meng Da was a little confused for a moment, and his tone was full of hesitation.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to play Tang Monk?"

"It's okay, there must be some contrast. Anyway, it's just a small theater, so you don't have to follow the rules, otherwise there will be anything else to look at."

"Then I'll listen to you, Director Xu, I'll take more care of you in the future."

Seeing Xu Wenruo insisting on letting him play Tang Seng, Meng Da did not refuse too much. After all, Tang Seng is also the protagonist, and it is much better than the supporting role he has played before.

For a long time, no other actors came into Xu Wenruo's rehearsal hall, and only the three of them chatted in it. Xu Wenruo asked them to check out the information first and learn about the characters they were about to play. Not only them, but even Xu Wenruo himself had to think about how to adapt "Journey to the West".

Adapting classic works like this is very difficult. After all, with pearls and jade in front, the audience already has a set of judgment standards in their minds, and it is very difficult to adapt them again.

Fortunately, it only took a small piece, which didn't take much effort. Of course, it was very difficult to be outstanding, so Xu Wenruo thought about finding a different approach and could adapt it from different angles.

You should know that in his previous life, "Journey to the West" had been filmed, and various adaptations emerged one after another, and works such as "Journey to the West" and "The Return of the Great Sage" emerged one after another. For example, Stephen Chow had a special liking for "Journey to the West", and the Demon Subduing and Demon Subduing He directed it was also very subversive.

So much so that Mr. Liu, a performing artist whom people respect, couldn't help but stand up and call for adaptation, not random play, and not nonsense. In the second half of this year... China and the United States are co-produced...

Of course, Xu Wenruo also needs to learn from his lessons. When adapting, try not to arouse people's disgust. Although adapting is to break through the bottom line, Xu Wenruo has experience in his previous life and can completely require some more successful experiences, and all the elements that arouse people's disgust are eliminated.

Having already had an idea in his mind, Xu Wenruo immediately began to organize the plot. After all, it was just a short film displayed on the stage, and it did not require too strong plots. There was no need for the main plot to obtain the scriptures, because it was impossible to fully explain the matter on the way to obtain the scriptures for dozens of minutes.

It’s better to re-adapt, intercept some clips from Journey to the West, extract the characters and spirits, and re-arrange the plot.

Xu Wenruo plans to excerpt the plot of three fights against the White Bone Demon, because this section has a dramatic conflict and can demonstrate the actor's acting skills to a certain extent.

If you choose to make a movie, Xu Wenruo will definitely choose to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. This plot can make visual impact, and the audience will definitely like to watch exciting movies of fighting.

But now it is not to make movies, but to show the strength of several actors. Why is it so easy to win awards in art films? It is because of the delicate feelings and the performances of the characters are full of tension. The plot of three fights against the White Bone Demon can meet these needs.

Xu Wenruo clearly knew that the protagonist of this show was not him, but these actors. The show was called I am an actor, not I am a director, and Xu Wenruo would not overshadow the main character.

As long as he can shoot this clip well, he deserves praise from the audience, rather than competing with these actors for the shot. Xu Wen will not do things that harm others and benefit himself, this is his bottom line.

Just as Xu Wenruo was concentrating on the plot, several actors came in one after another. The last person who came in was Zhao Tianyuan. Xin Rou carefully counted the number of people. After seeing that the number of people had arrived, she glanced at the audience behind her, and then came to Xu Wenruo with an expressionless face.

"Director Xu, the nine actors are here."

Xu Wenruo put down the neutral pen in his hand, then looked up at the actors. When they saw Xu Wenruo's gaze, they all showed a flattering smile even though they felt about Xu Wenruo in their hearts.

Xu Wenruo looked down at the time. It had been more than ten minutes since Meng Da and the others came in. It was self-evident where they went. Xu Wenruo did not expose it. He walked to the center of the actors and calmly expressed his requirements for his team.

"Since everyone has arrived, you have chosen me, it is better to make some things clear in advance. I have never dealt with anyone among you, so I will treat you equally. Please rest assured of this."

"How you treat me, I will treat you if I treat you. In addition, I am a person who speaks more directly. I hope you forgive me. I am also a person who is very controlful. If you have any opinions about me, you can tell me privately that I will not be angry, but I am not very good at adopting your opinions."

"I have so many rules for the crew. Does anyone have any objection?"
