Thank you for the reward of the sutra of the sutra, thank you very much ~

After Zhao and Yang walked out of the audition office.
"I think Zhao Yi performed very well, perfectly interpreting a Buddhist disciple who has Buddha in his heart and has a firm belief." Casting deputy director Li Bin expressed his opinion.
"I think Yang Guang's performance is more effective. After failing to sing 300 children's songs, he came back and faced his master's frustration with his head down. He found that '300 children's songs' was not as useful as the master said. He felt confused. In the end, he felt sad and crying because he failed to save more people in the fishing village... These expressions, in combination with the movements and expressions, acted very naturally and realistically. And Yang Guang also has an advantage, that is, he just won the actor's title, and with the title of the actor, it has a great effect on the box office of "Journey to the West: The Demons"." Wang Sen is very optimistic about Yang Guang.
"When it comes to popularity, Zhao Yi is better than Yang Guang. He is not only very popular in the mainland, but also in the Southeast Asian Chinese circle. I think he chose Zhao Yi. When the movie is released in Southeast Asian region, he will use Zhao Yi's popularity in the Southeast Asian Chinese circle to attract Chinese people from those places to the cinema."
Wang Sen and Li Bin have arguing over the role candidate.
Even if they continue to fight, they will not be able to win any results. The two of them looked at Chen Dong at the same time. After all, the final decision on choosing the role is in Chen Dong's hands.
It is undeniable that Yang and Zhao both have excellent acting skills, which interprets Chen Xuanzang in the film very well.
Chen Dong needs to carefully consider which one to choose.
Chen Dong thought carefully for a while and said, "Let's choose Zhao Yi, the actor who plays Chen Xuanzang."
"Why?" Wang Sen asked unwillingly.
Chen Dong smiled and said, "There are two reasons. First, Director Li mentioned that Zhao Yi is very popular in the Chinese circle in Southeast Asia. When the movie is released in Southeast Asia, using Zhao Yi's popularity can attract many Zhao Yi's fans to the cinema. Second, Chen Xuanzang in the film is an unorthorned disciple of the Mahayana religion and has a Buddhist compassion, while Yang Guang's appearance is tough and his momentum is sharp. Obviously, he cannot play the kind of Buddhist compassion, and it is appropriate to play Zhao Yi."
After listening to Chen Dong's explanation, Wang Sen nodded and stopped saying anything.
The three unanimously decided that Chen Xuanzang, the protagonist of "Journey to the West: The Demon Subduing" would choose Zhao Yi.
The next audition was the absolute NO.2 in the film. Miss Duan, and Miss Duan is definitely an outstanding figure in the movie. As an exorcist, she has high magic power and her magic weapon is undetermined. She even kills demons when encountering demons and destroys demons when seeing demons.
Miss Duan is an indispensable figure, helping Chen Xuanzang subdue the fish demon, pig demon, and monkey demon, and finally died at the hands of the Vajra of Wukong, allowing Chen Xuanzang to realize the true meaning of love, thus making Chen Xuanzang make a great ambition to seek scriptures in the West...
Such an outstanding role, not to mention being very popular, at least the popularity has to reach several levels. Therefore, the role of Miss Duan has attracted many actresses to audition, including well-known domestic actors and big stars.

Examining the office outside.
"Chen Lin, you play Chen Xuanzang, I play Miss Duan, let's be sorry again." Yang Jie dressed in a heroic and heroic dress, waiting for the audition for Miss Duan's role in "Journey to the West: The Demon Subduing".
"Okay, Sister Yang." Chen Sen said, "Sister Yang, in order to get the role of Miss Duan, you have made so much preparations. You are trying to figure out the character of this character every day, often play against others, have a deep understanding of the character of Miss Duan, and have hired professional stylists to give makeup. I believe that you will definitely defeat other contenders and get the role of Miss Duan."
"Okay, Chen Lin, don't be too full of words. I'm prepared. Are others not prepared? Moreover, Chen Ying is much more popular than me. When I debuted, she was already the four major actresses."
"Sister Yang, don't belittle yourself. Your popularity is no less than Chen Ying. He is one of the four big actresses, and you are one of the four little actresses. If she hadn't debuted early, the names of the four big actresses might be yours."
...
On the other hand, Chen Ying, who was talked about by Yang Jie and Chen Lin, was also dressed in the heroic dress in the play, holding the script in his hand, watching carefully, and at the same time, he thought about Miss Duan's personality and characteristics in his heart.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in with a basket, put the basket on the table, opened the basket, and contained a few baskets of fragrant buns and a bowl of steaming lotus seeds and pig heart soup. "I have worked hard these days to practice, and I don't even eat breakfast." After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she took out a basket of buns from the basket and handed them to Chen Ying, and said, "Come on, eat a few buns first, I made them myself, and this bowl of lotus seeds and pig heart soup to nourish the brain. You have been thinking about the role of Miss Duan these days. It is very brain-consuming. Lotus seeds and pig heart soup, drink them on the heat and replenish them."
There were two baskets of buns in the basket and were distributed to the staff next to them by the middle-aged woman.
"Thank you, mom." Chen Ying picked up a bun with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, then said thank you to mom.
After Chen Ying entered the entertainment industry, Chen's mother has always been the role of a daughter's economic man and a nanny.
Mother Chen sat on the sofa next to her and was particularly satisfied as she watched her daughter eat her own buns with relish.
"Xiaoying, are you sure about the role of Miss Duan?"
Chen Ying stuffed a bun in her mouth and said vaguely, "I'm a little sure. After a few days of thinking about the role of Miss Duan, I believe I can interpret this role well."
After hearing this, Chen's mother said to Chen Ying with great thought, "The movie is a big production with an investment of 4,500,000 yuan. Director Wang Sen is a very thoughtful director. Screenwriter Chen Dong is known as a genius screenwriter in the film industry. He is a very talented young man. He has played in "Crazy Stone" directed by Wang Sen and written by Chen Dong. One of them has become very popular. The remaining actors who have performed in "Crazy Stone" have also greatly improved their reputation, and there are constant advertisements and film appointments.
Miss Duan’s role in the movie is second only to Chen Xuanzang, and she is very outstanding. If you get this role and play this role well, it will not only broaden your acting path, but also your fame will reach at least a few levels."
"Mom, I understand." Chen Ying responded.
"There are three judges for this audition, including producer, producer and screenwriter Chen Dong, director Wang Sen, and casting deputy director Li Bin. He has had some friendships with Li Bin before, but Li Bin can still make decisions on the selection of some unimportant actors, but Chen Dong makes the final decision on the protagonist and supporting roles with a strong role. So, pay more attention to Chen Dong when performing. As long as your performance satisfys Chen Dong, that's OK, do you know?"
"I got it, mom."
