Lin Yuan is responsible for the casting of "Journey to the West", but this TV series requires too many actors.

Lin Yuan could not choose one by one, so he could only choose the most important role in a targeted manner, or just the right role.

For example, Antarctica.

He just clicked.

But there is no doubt that the most important role must be Sun Wukong!

This candidate is interesting.

The company's advice is:

Find an actor with good acting skills to play Sun Wukong.

This is not only the company's advice, but also the instinctive idea of ​​many people.

But Lin Yuan felt that compared to the actor's fame and acting skills, it is better to find an actor who has enough knowledge of monkeys to play Sun Wukong...

Why is CCTV's version of Journey to the West the most classic version?

Just because of the sentiment filter?

Not only that.

Whether it is the director's candidate or the right soundtrack.

Of course, including actor performances, etc., are the reasons why CCTV's version of "Journey to the West" has become a classic.

in.

Sun Wukong, played by Liu Xiaolingtong, is a very important part.

Monkey is the soul of Journey to the West!

There is something to say.

No matter how many black spots Liu Xiaolingtong has, the role of Sun Wukong he plays is recognized as the first Monkey King—

Many actors have played Sun Wukong.

But only Liu Xiaolingtong performed the feeling of a "monkey".

No one else has the "monkey" flavor.

The most important reason why Liu Xiaolingtong can perform a monkey is actually:

Liu Xiaolingtong was born in the Monkey King family!

I have been learning monkey opera since I was a child. I have been influenced by it and naturally know the state of a monkey very well.

Actors without this basic aspect can't even play monkey dramas.

So Lin Yuan disagreed with the public and decided to choose an actor from this perspective...

Coincidentally, there was a novel in ancient Blue Star called "The Monkey Picks the Moon".

This "Monkey Picks the Moon" is a mythical story. The protagonist is a monkey, which has a great influence among the people.

In modern times, the influence of this mythology can be ignored.

but……

There are still some opera performances, such as monkeys.

After expansion and extension, these performances are no longer limited to the myth of "The Monkey Picks the Moon", but have created more stories about monkeys.

This is Blue Star’s monkey drama.

Although niche, a small number of people still like it.

After inquiring, Lin Yuan learned that Qinzhou had a family named Ren, who had passed down many generations of monkey dramas.

Someone showed him the monkey show performed by Ren Yan, a contemporary successor of the Ren family.

After watching it, Lin Yuan was moved.

He felt that Ren Yan had the potential to play Sun Wukong.

So, he personally came to the theater where Ren Yan usually performed.

After seeing Ren Yan's face, Lin Yuan felt more and more that this was a good choice.

Sun Wukong's actor is handsome.

Not everyone can control the love and love.

The premise is that the other party has to agree...

Lin Yuan went for this trip in person because he was worried that the other party would refuse.

But it's obvious.

Lin Yuan thought too much.

...

Ren Yan didn't expect that Xianyu would fall from the sky and invite him to play Sun Wukong in person!

At this moment, Ren Yan wondered if he was dreaming.

"I do!!!"

Ren Yan couldn't wait to agree.

As if he was afraid that Xianyu would go back on his word, he quickly added: "I can do not need a salary!"

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he became respectful.

"The pay is still required, provided that you pass the audition."

"I must work hard!"

"Then you prepare."

Lin Yuan nodded, things went much smoother than he thought.

After getting this matter done, Lin Yuan went home directly.

After Ren Yan brought Lin Yuan into the car, he stood there in a daze.

The little girl next to her was blushing and kept saying, "Dad Yu looks better than on TV!"

"Congratulations, Little Monkey King!"

The theater owner's face smiled like a flower.

This was the first time Ren Yan saw the theater owner showing such a kind and amiable expression.

He nodded blankly.

After the boss left, the little girl next to him suddenly pushed him: "Are you still not awake?"

"Little sister, why did Teacher Xianyu choose me to play Sun Wukong? I am not a star. Is it really okay to play such a big TV series? Can the audience accept it?"

"Don't you want to act?"

"I dream of it!"

"Then you just act well, just treat the audience as the audience in our theater."

Ren Yan nodded vigorously, and suddenly his eyes turned red.

The monkey drama inherited from the Ren family era finally has a place to work!

dad.

I haven't given up yet.

I did not disappoint your expectations.

...

Casting continues.

Lin Yuan did not ask any more details.

However, before confirming the actor, Gu Dong would give Lin Yuan a look at the candidate, and Lin Yuan nodded to be considered as truly letting go.

Lin Yuan’s standards are not high.

One is that the acting skills cannot be too bad, and the other is that the image of the actor cannot be too out of the play.

For example, the female goblins, several female goblins have serious faces, and they seem to be the same model from the same hospital.

Beautiful means beautiful, and there is a sense of evil spirit.

Lin Yuan decisively dismissed this type of actor.

He doesn't have any prejudice against plastic surgery, but he just thinks that in the performance industry, plastic surgery will affect facial emotional expression.

In the CCTV version of "Journey to the West", many actresses are very beautiful.

Moreover, each beauty has its own merits.
