Chapter 55 Why not find Teacher Six?

Lin Xuan took advantage of his drunkenness and took the opportunity to ask:
"Director Li, which teacher should we find to play Sun Wukong, the male lead in our drama?"

Of course he knew who the male protagonist of "Journey to the West" was, but he had a more curious question in his mind.

People all over the country know that the best actor to play Sun Wukong is Teacher Six, but why didn’t the crew hire him in the end?
After saying this, several crew members, including Li Yuan, fell silent.

Lin Xuan was taken aback.

There can't be any unknown secrets here, why do you have this expression?

Wang Jinhua reacted quickly and lectured: "Lin Xuan, you must be drunk. You are an actor. Stop asking about the crew."

Unexpectedly, screenwriter Qian Yanqiu waved his hand and said: "It's not something difficult to talk about. From the beginning, we really wanted to hire a six-year-old teacher."

So why didn't it work?
Could it be that the Sixth Teacher Lion opened his mouth.

It was an industry secret, so Lin Xuan pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Sure enough, even if you join this industry, gossiping is human nature.

"We had a good chat at the beginning, and we agreed on the schedule and remuneration, but the teacher's wife of Liuxiaolingtong didn't agree."

"Why don't you agree?" Lin Xuan didn't understand very much.

Teacher Six loves Sun Wukong the most. He likes it so much that he can’t let anyone else play it.

Li Yuan sullenly slapped the table and said, "What else could it be because of? He thinks our drama is fabricated and affects his classic image of Sun Wukong."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan suddenly realized.

Because he was worried that starring in "Journey to the West" would damage the classic image of Sun Wukong, he refused. This logic is very reasonable.

It seems that he looked down on Teacher Six before. At this time, he still had some character as a performing artist, unlike later generations who started crazily marketing Sun Wukong for money.

"It's my fault that you guys are too anxious. If you can be patient and talk nicely, I think there is still a chance." Qian Yanqiu supported Teacher Six in playing Sun Wukong and couldn't help complaining.

"What you said...the crew will start shooting soon, who can afford to wait." Li Yuan was in a bad mood and replied:

"Besides, people clearly look down on you, so why bother with your cold face?

We invited Cao Rong from Hong Kong. He played the role of Prince Moang in "The Second Journey to the West" and was also the martial arts instructor of the sequel. His skills were very good, no worse than those of a six-year-old boy. "

Hehe, then what you said is wrong.

Lin Xuan said silently in his heart.

There are only two highlights in the whole play of "Journey to the West", one is the script and the other is the music.

The rest are as simple as a troupe's fighting scenes, such as the ghost beast who beats three times with one move, and the paralyzed and mentally retarded Sun Wukong.

These are shortcomings that cannot be washed away, and they are also the main reasons why this drama was criticized by the mainstream media.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan thought of the second question about this drama?
Why is there a ghost in the play who performs an action three times?

funding problem?Script question?
Lin Xuan silently kept this question in his mind, preparing to find out when the time comes.

After dinner at noon, the main creators prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Xuan asked Qian Yanqiu to get the detailed script, and went back to his room to read it slowly.

But after he spent an afternoon reading it three times, his doubts became even greater.

The script setting is novel, the story logic chain is complete, and the character dialogue is even philosophical.

The conversation between Tripitaka and Buddha, Wutian's inner struggle, and Sun Wukong's psychological changes in the process of saving the Three Realms are all written extremely brilliantly.

He couldn't understand why such an excellent script ended up in a mess.

Is it really a funding problem?

But the crew can afford actors and actors from Hong Kong.

We were able to invite two national team-level singers, Liu Huan and Mao Aming, to sing the theme song and the ending song.

They even spent money on a lot of weird special effects.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like the crew is short of money.

The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more confused he became. Finally, he simply gave up and waited until the crew started filming and would pay attention.

………………

The next day, Lin Xuan got up and sent Wang Jinhua to the airport.

After lunch, Lin Xuan was bored and planned to ask Baoqiang to drive to the city.

Qin Province has a long history and culture, with many thousand-year-old cities and historical sites.It would be a shame not to take a tour while filming here.

Lin Xuan changed his clothes and went out, but at the corner two actresses came out of the room together.

He was walking so fast that he almost bumped into them.

The two girls were startled by the sudden appearance.

When he looked up, he was stunned.

Is he an actor?
very handsome!
Lin Xuan quickly looked at the two people in front of him.

One is heroic and generous, the other is sweet and playful, both are pretty good-looking.

He smiled and took the initiative to say hello:
"Hello, my name is Lin Xuan, and I play the role of Qiao Ling'er."

The slightly heroic girl came back to her senses, stretched out her hand and said:
"Hello, my name is Ma Yashu, and I play your wife Bai Lianhua."

Sister, white lotus is not a good word.

"The way you introduced yourself is quite special. It's nice to meet you."

Lin Xuan smiled and shook hands with her.

Ma Yashu was born in 77, three years older than him. Apart from being an actress, she is most famous for being Wu Qilong's ex-wife.

When another girl saw this, she also followed suit:
"Hello, my name is Wang Huijuan. You can call me Juanzi. I play your lover Fairy Biyou in the play."

This person was also born in 77. If nothing else happens, she will film a movie called "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan" in the second half of the year.

She played the role of Princess Changping, Bai Zhantang's wife, in the play, and her appearance was also extremely beautiful.

"Wow, I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful lover."

Lin Xuan saw her cuteness and couldn't help teasing her.

"Really? Thank you."

Two girls are together, but I am praised by a handsome guy alone. That must mean that I am more beautiful.

Juanzi was very happy and smiled, showing two rows of white teeth.

Ma Yashu looks heroic and has a stronger personality.

Seeing that Lin Xuan only praised Juanzi, he immediately asked: "You only praise her, don't I look beautiful?"

Lin Xuan was prepared and said with a smile: "You are beautiful, beautiful with a valiant and heroic posture."

One is beautiful, the other beautiful, neither of them offends, the main thing is a bowl of water.

"Sassy and heroic..."

Ma Yashu muttered a few words, inexplicably liking this description.

Juanzi pursed her lips and saw Lin Xuan carrying a shoulder bag. She guessed that he was going out, so she asked:
"I see you are carrying a bag and walking in such a hurry. Are you busy with something?"

Lin Xuan said: "It's nothing, I just want to finally come to Qin Province, why don't I go out for a walk?

Qin Province has a long history and has several thousand-year-old cities and scenic spots. It would be a pity not to visit them. "

Ma Yashu's eyes lit up and he quickly answered: "Really, we are also planning to go shopping, so let's get some company."

Um...I want to see places of interest, not go shopping.

Lin Xuan was a little reluctant. To be honest, she didn't want to go shopping with girls.

Seeing his hesitation, Juanzi added:

"Yes, yes, it's not safe for us two girls to go out. What if we meet a bad person?"

In the 90s, the security situation in the mainland was far from as good as it would be a dozen years later.

It's still very dangerous for a girl to go out alone, especially when the two of them are so beautiful.

"That's fine."

Now that it's all said and done, it's okay even if Lin Xuan doesn't agree.

"Great!"

The two girls smiled and clapped their hands, probably very happy to have a strong man carrying something for them.

Lin Xuan sent a text message to Baoqiang, letting him move freely, and then took them to the parking lot.
