"Since no one has any objections, let's start assigning roles. The script is tentatively set to be a clip of three fights of the White Bone Demon. Except for the roles of Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, you can choose any other one."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Wenruo went straight to the topic and began to assign roles. In fact, there were not many roles that needed to be assigned. Even if the script had not been written, Journey to the West was a familiar story for everyone, and everyone had a rough impression of it.

In addition to the four masters and apprentices, there are only the main character of the White Bone Demon, but there are nine actors present, with only five main characters. Even if it is not clear what kind of adaptation Xu Wenruo can make, one thing that can be clear is that someone will definitely play a supporting role.

Thinking of this, the actors coming from behind looked at each other, and no one seemed to want to be a leader, but an actress with a charming and charming figure in the crowd suddenly stood up. She threw a charming look at Xu Wenruo, and then replied to Xu Wenruo in a coquettish tone.

"Director Xu, can they want to play the White Bone Spirit?"

"Can."

Xu Wenruo answered expressionlessly and turned a blind eye to the actress's flirting posture. Xu Wenruo just glanced at her and agreed to her request, because there were only two actresses in Xu Wenruo's team. Since she spoke first, the role would be left to her to play.

"Then Director Xu, how should he act? Do you want to give me some advice?"

The actress was very good at climbing the ball. Seeing that Xu Wenruo agreed to his request, she was actually about to walk to Xu Wenruo and talk to her again, but was stunned by a word.

"It's very simple. Your current image and tone are very suitable. Just restrain yourself a little."

Before Xu Wenruo finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the corner. Xu Wenruo looked up and found that it was Xin Rou standing aside. She was covering her mouth and laughing non-stop.

Seeing Xu Wenruo and other actors' gazes, Xin Rou was shocked, then quickly lowered her head and bowed to apologize to them.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for disturbing you, sorry."

After Xin Ru apologized, she lowered her head and didn't speak, but it could be seen from her constant twitching shoulders that the little girl had to endure it very hard.

The enchanting actress was standing among the crowd at this time. Her expression was very awkward, but she didn't dare to shy her face at Xu Wenruo. She could only stare at Xin Rou with fierce eyes, but this could not stop other actors from looking at her with strange eyes.

Xu Wenruo didn't want to humiliate the actress. He really couldn't stand the actress's style, so he made a small joke with her, which could be regarded as a lesson to teach her and make her more proficient.

"Wei Xin tentatively set the character as the White Bone Spirit. I have remembered it. You can first figure out the characters and then send the script to you."

Xu Wenruo looked through the information in his hand and recognized the actress's name, but Xu Wenruo had no intention of dealing with her at all, so he waved his hand and asked her to wait next to her.

"Where are you, there are not many characters left. If you can't choose, it's up to date."

Xu Wenruo was definitely not in a hurry, but after listening to Xu Wenruo's words, these actors gradually became anxious. Seeing that there was another role missing, even if it was a female role, the remaining actors were filled with tension. After all, there was still a situation where there were too many monks and too little porridge in front of him.

"Director Xu, can I choose Bajie?"

"Director Xu, I am strong and strong, so there must be no problem playing Sha Seng."

After Xu Wenruo chose two more people in the order of speeches, the main characters were assigned. The remaining actors were not very good-looking, and the remaining actress couldn't help but ask Xu Wenruo.

"Director Xu, what should we do? Is there any role to choose?"

"Not yet, but don't worry, I will definitely arrange it for you. There will be no shortage of scenes. I said I will treat you equally."

Even with Xu Wenruo's guarantee, the expressions of the remaining four actors are still very ugly. After all, they don't know whether Xu Wenruo will fulfill his promise. In this intriguing entertainment industry, trust is a very difficult thing.

After the role was assigned, it was getting late, the program team began to finish work, and today's recording came to an end, and the staff also needed a rest. Xu Wenruo could only comfort the remaining actors again and then left the studio.

His task is very heavy now, because Xu Wenruo has made great changes to the plot, not performing in the form of a TV series, which is equivalent to rewriting a book.

At this time, there is only one day left for Xu Wenruo. He must complete the script so that he will not delay the preparations later. After all, costumes, props, and actors will need a lot of time. Although the first episode is not so anxious to go online, Xu Wenruo is unwilling to delay time.

When Xu Wenruo returned to the hotel, he just opened his laptop and found that there was still a lot of work waiting for him. In addition to the script creation that was about to be completed, there were also some video editing work for the subsequent seasons of "Grave Robbers" that needed to be completed.

Seeing this, Xu Wenruo's head was getting bigger, but he was not a person who likes to escape. He first made a cup of coffee for himself, then opened the file and started to heal.

The bitter coffee in the mouth gradually became sweet. Xu Wenruo only bought some ordinary coffee powder. His demand for substances was not that strong. Even if it was coffee, he didn't have to drink freshly ground.

The bright moonlight shone on the windowsill, and Xu Wenruo typing on the keyboard with serious expression. Was there still a rustling sound of a neutral pen writing on the paper? These sounds are mixed together, like a beautiful chapter of musical notes.

...

Three days later, according to the script Xu Wenruo took out, the program team quickly prepared the costume props, and several actors simply rehearsed several times, but some actors could not understand Xu Wenruo's adaptation at all.

Even Meng Da, who had a good impression of Xu Wenruo, quietly mentioned his opinions to Xu Wenruo while he was resting.

"Director Xu, is it really okay for us to act like this? Are you a little more exaggerated?"

"It's okay, just treat this script as a comedy performance, and the tone and expression should be expressed in an exaggerated expression."

Xu Wenruo was confident. When facing Meng Da’s questions, Xu Wenruo patiently explained to him, and Xu Wenruo still attached great importance to Meng Da as an actor.

"It is actually a way of expressing the character's mentality with exaggerated tone and body movements. The more absurd it is, the more touching it is. This is a kind of black humor."

"But you must not deliberately exaggerate, especially not revealing traces of performance, but show that this is the choice of the characters in the play, their exaggeration, not the exaggeration of the actors' performance."

"But it's very difficult."

After listening to Xu Wenruo's answer, Meng Da looked sad. Because Xu Wenruo's request was too rebellious, it seemed very different from the performance he had come into contact with before. However, looking at Xu Wenruo's serious expression, Meng Da felt that Xu Wenruo should not have deceived him on purpose.

"You have to have this belief, believing that you are the characters in the crew, and the choices you make are the choices made by the characters in the play. No matter how exaggerated the tone and action are, you have to convince yourself that I am right to do this."

"If you can't accept it in your heart, then how can you show it to the audience?"

After listening to Xu Wenruo's words, Meng Da's expression was still confused. Looking at his slightly confused eyes and the performances that other actors were very uncomfortable with, Xu Wenruo sighed softly and then gathered all the actors.

Xu Wenruo repeated the words to Meng Da just now. The reactions of these actors were the same as Meng Da. He felt that Xu Wenruo’s statement was completely a crooked way. Seeing this, Xu Wenruo could only teach them how to perform step by step.

So Xu Wenruo had to come to the next rehearsal, demonstrated each scene first, and then taught them step by step how to perform in exaggerated tone and movements.

This situation inevitably delayed the progress of Xu Wenruo's crew. Just when the other three directors had completed the rehearsal, Xu Wenruo's crew was still practicing, so some rumors began to appear within the program team, mainly circulating among the actors.

"Oh, fortunately I didn't choose Xu Wenruo. We have completed the rehearsal here and they are still working overtime. The young director is just unreliable."

"It's better to be Director Jiang Kai. He greets everyone on the crew with a smile, and the entire crew rehearsed in an orderly manner, and there was no problem at all."

"Although Director Wang Tie got angry once on the crew, it was because there were two actors who were really unaware of it and delayed the progress of the rehearsal. When Director Wang Tie scolded them, they quickly got into the state."

"I have never heard of the performance style that director Xu Wenruo said. I suspect that this is what he is doing. Then I let us learn, and now I regret choosing Xu Wenruo."

"Xu Wenruo's crew won't mess up the next recording, right? If this is true, there will be a good show."

Xu Wenruo also heard these target words. Seeing Xin Rou's angry look, she was even more angry than the person involved, Xu Wenruo shook her head gently.

"Director Xu, are you not angry at all? They actually said that."

"If my mouth grows on others, can I still control their gossip? Instead of being angry, it is better to concentrate on doing your own thing, give you a word, walk your own path, and leave others with nothing to say."

Xu Wenruo was relieved as he watched the rehearsals gradually getting on track in the distance. Xu Wenruo was very tight about the timing, which even caused some complaints from the actors, but unexpectedly, he still delayed some time.

The main reason why so much time wasted in rehearsal is that most actors are very resistant to the performance methods required by Xu Wenruo, just as they discussed in private. These actors think that Xu Wenruo’s request is not reliable at all.

But their arms cannot force their thighs. Even if they are not willing, they have to follow Xu Wenruo's request. Even if Xu Wenruo does not do the operation of killing the chicken to warn the monkey, these actors dare not challenge the director's dignity.

They dared not resist Xu Wenruo on the surface, so they could only complain behind their backs. This was something Xu Wenruo knew very well. As long as they could perform as required and would not lose a piece of meat for a few more words, Xu Wenruo would go with them.

...

"After several days of intense rehearsal, the four directors have completed their works. Without further ado, let's get to the point. Who of you will show it first?"

On the brightly lit stage, Yu Chao looked at the four directors opposite him with a smile. At this time, the atmosphere had become tense. Although the program team has made it clear that this is just an appetizer and it will not be distinguished this time, since it has been filmed, the audience will definitely have some comments in their hearts.

If it is really messed up, it will definitely affect its signature, so the four directors are very concerned about this director.

Hearing Yu Chao's words, Wang Tie volunteered to choose the first show. He seemed to be full of confidence, and said that, he glanced at Xu Wenruo, who was far away from him.

"Then I'll just give you a chance to attract attention. I dare not say that I can compare with the two directors Zhou Hong and Jiang Kai. At least I have to set an example for my juniors, right?"

"Director Xiao Xu, do you want to evaluate my work?"

Wang Tie's expression was smug. He also heard that Xu Wenruo's crew rehearsal was not very smooth, so he chose to attack at this time, hoping to catch Xu Wenruo off guard.

If Xu Wenruo first commented on his work, and then his own work was shot in a mess, then Director Wang Tie would have to say a few more words.

Director Wang Tie's abacus was very loud, but Xu Wenruo didn't like this at all. He replied in a plain tone, and didn't even look at Wang Tie at all.

"I'll wait and see what masterpieces Director Wang Tie brings."

When Wang Tie saw Xu Wenruo's plain tone, he showed a trace of sinister smile. He was actually very annoyed, but he couldn't show it. He could only curse inwardly, and see when you can pretend to be good. You will be nice later.

Yu Chao waved his hand on the stage, and a mechanical roar came from behind, as if a giant was moving. Xu Wenruo also looked at the stage with interest.

A few minutes later, a stage with a set set was presented in front of everyone. In the quaint hall, there was a flag on the way of heaven, and there were a group of people standing or sitting inside. They were the actors who were about to perform. Looking at their expressions, they looked full of confidence.

"Each unit is ready, start!"

Director Wang Tie stood up from the judges' seat, with a full-minded expression and a dictator, as if he was really the emperor in the crew.
Chapter completed!
