Chapter 107
When Ji Li saw the name of the film, he suddenly became a little interested.
Xu Cheng took time to learn about the series of "killing God" directed by Xu Cheng during the new year's holiday this year. It can be said that the first three parts of the killing God series, Charming Fox, Kui Niang and flower demon, have created a new round of Chinese mythological films.
Whether from the plot of the story itself, the portrayal of actors' acting skills, the composition of shooting pictures, or the excellent production in the later stage, we have achieved all-round development and tried our best.
Therefore, it is expected that their box office can steadily win the champion of the current period.
At the beginning, how many female stars broke their heads and wanted to get the heroine of director Xu Cheng?
As long as a series of films with audience basis are performed above the passing line, it will completely improve the career.
Of course, director Xu Cheng's requirements for actors' acting skills are also strict.
The heroines of the trilogy are all the same acting school.
"The original trilogy is mainly about the theme of 'big female master'. I didn't expect that the fourth 'demon monk' should have a big male master." Yu Fuya sat on the sofa with a strong interest in the fundus of his eyes.
Casting auditions are conducted secretly in the industry, and companies and brokers are competing for a few auditions.
After Yu Fuya learned the news, she immediately used her contacts to contact director Xu Cheng's team and asked for one of the audition places for Ji Li.
And, of course, the outline of the movie character.
She knows that no matter how excellent the film team is, Ji Li always pays the most attention to the quality of his works.
"The complete script and plot will not be disclosed for the time being. Would you like to see the character outline first? But I think director Xu Cheng's script should be no worse. Yuzhu is in front, and he won't easily smash his sign. " Yu Fuya analyzed.
It is said that the script creation of "demon monk" and the previous "flower demon" are carried out at the same time. On the contrary, the former has been revised and polished repeatedly. Until now, we have the plan to start the project.
It is said that the series is difficult to shoot well. A director like Xu Cheng dares to start the fourth film. He should be full of confidence in shooting technology and script.
Ji Li nodded and looked down. He couldn't wait to scan the book of people brought by Yu Fuya.
The story of "demon monk" revolves around the hero "Chenyi".
During the great barbarian period, the world fell apart.
War is everywhere, demons and ghosts are everywhere, and the world is difficult. The world is divided into four categories: people, gods, demons and ghosts.
To say that human beings and gods can be identified, Buddha and demons can be recognized.
But it happened that one of them was a man, a God, a ghost and a demon. It was difficult to identify him because he killed, beheaded and collected ghosts. It was said that he even killed immortals.
Demon monk Chen Yi, his whereabouts are blurred.
It is said that he was born rich and noble. He was originally a Taoist monk.
But in the year when Chen ascended to heaven and was canonized, he personally killed the people of the whole country and privately sacrificed blood light in exchange for his own way of God and Buddha.
But on the day of his canonization, his crime was discovered by the divine family and reintegrated into the world.
Since then, instead of turning to the Buddha, he has occupied all the evil blood, sucking human blood, swallowing demon beads, killing ghosts and sucking God's collaterals. He has done evil things and read Buddhism and Taoism in his mouth.
It is said that Chenyi has lived for more than a hundred years.
Some people say that his face is disgusting and more terrible than a monster. Others say that he has a beautiful face and uses beauty to cheat and kill people.
In fact, no one has ever seen Chen Yi's true face.
In addition to Shinto, the other three widely spread words - those who can see the true face of dust must be on the verge of death.
Ji Li saw the background profile of the first half, and the interest at the bottom of her eyes was stronger.
He likes such a role with a sense of "villain", which is full of sense and contradiction.
Moreover, according to his many years of experience in reading the script, such a hero is bound to have a little-known life truth.
Sure enough, as soon as he turned the page, he saw the content of the character's background——
In fact, Chen Yi was the direct Prince born to the queen of the former Suchao Dynasty. From the moment he was born, there were seven auspicious rains, which solved the biggest drought in the Suchao Dynasty in a century.
Because of this, the whole country was sincerely grateful for the prince's arrival and determined that he was a blessed man.
Su Chao believes in Buddhism and Taoism. The most famous Buddhist temple in the whole dynasty, "Shoushen Temple", is said to be a channel connecting the divine world and the mortal world. The four class leaders and eight elders inside have left the mortal body and are the waiters stationed on the earth by the heavenly gods and Buddhas.
When Chen Yi was six years old, the well-informed Abbot who kept the temple closed for a long time suddenly left the customs and went straight into the palace. He said that he had the will of heaven and wanted to take Prince Chen as a disciple.
He said that let Chenyi convert to Buddhism and be able to be in the God class and universal life in the near future.
After hearing this, empress Su Chao couldn't help but feel reluctant to give up.
After all, the emperor's days in the world for decades, where is more important than the ascension of Tao? I have to give up for my own son.
This is for the good of Chenyi and for the people of Suchao in the future.
Chenyi really has spiritual roots. After being brought into Buddhism, he devoted himself to practice. He learned wisdom in one year, learned Dharma in two years, and practiced the highest level of Dharma in three years.
However, in ten years, he personally killed and transcended many demons and ghosts, and became the most famous monk in the Suchao Dynasty.
Of course, this is inseparable from the wanton worship and publicity of the empress Suchao.
Chen Yi is outstanding, and his temperament is gentle and elegant. The women in Su Dynasty love him and admire him. The men envy him and envy him, but they have to obey his ability to kill demons and Demons and are willing to worship piously.
When Chen was eighteen years old, abbot Lingtong told him that the time had come. According to the instructions of the God family, he was willing to help him get rid of all fetal flesh and bones and become a god Buddha.
Chen Yi thought he had been able to practice hard for many years, but he didn't expect that on the day he ascended to heaven and was granted the seal, he learned the news that "war has brought disaster to the country and the Su Dynasty has been destroyed.".
Abbot Lingtong told him that if you want to be a god Buddha, you must obtain enough pious faith.
Heaven is sealed and hell on earth.
When the people are dying, the power of devout prayer is huge. Su Chao should do it for his former prince.
After all, if Chenyi hadn't been born eighteen years ago, Su Chao might have died out in that drought.
Not only Chen Yi, but also other gods and Buddhas were so superior at the beginning.
The so-called compassion for heaven and people has finally become a merciless and unique nature. The Buddha light that seems to be respected by others is covered up with a towering blood light.
What god Buddha can help all living beings? But a group of humble species that regard mortals as mole ants!
Chenyi tore the so-called "canonized cassock" to pieces. His behavior angered the group of high "God Buddhas", and they joined hands to suppress him.
Chen Yi, who has just gained the power of national faith, also injured many gods and Buddhas under serious injury. He slipped back to the earth and vowed not to set foot on this dirty land again.
In order to cover up this fact, other gods and Buddhas fabricated a large number of false news and spread it to the world. In addition, Chen Yi did a lot of "killing" against Buddhism.
So, a hundred years later, Chen Yi has become a demon monk who "shouts to fight and kill" and "fears and fears" in the four crossings.
And the beginning of the movie story starts from here.
……
After reading the outline of the characters, Ji Li's inner interest did not disappear.
Compared with the concept of "respecting God" in traditional fairy tales, the series of killing God comes from the opposite. Although he hasn't seen the complete script yet, he has been looking forward to the story of Qichen's face beating 'god Buddha'.
In addition, the real story about Chen Yi in the past must be hidden in the plot of the script. For future film viewers, there will also be a thorough sense of slowly digging out the truth.
"How's it going? Do you want to try? " Yu Fuya asked, "the film will not start until early November. We have time."
If it can be done, a big film project has been determined in the second half of the year.
Moreover, there is a gap of four or five months between the end of the trip and the start of the demon monk, so you can pick up another film with a shorter shooting period.
If the "demon monk" audition is not successful, they are not at a loss.
"Yes." Ji Liying's words.
He needs a big male film that can resist the box office. "Demon monk" is very suitable in all aspects. Of course, he still can't take it lightly in the audition.
Ji Li thought and asked, "in four days, I'm going to start a new round of reality show shooting. Is there time for the audition?"
"In time, if you have no problem, director Xu Cheng's team and I have determined the day after tomorrow."
This arrangement will not delay the next day's reality show shooting.
Yu Fuya thought of something and reminded him, "by the way, the first round of audition doesn't try acting, but try modeling."
Director Xu Cheng pays great attention to the conformity of actors and characters in appearance.
To put it bluntly, Chen Yi is a monk. The actor's "bald head" shape not only can't make people play, but also makes people feel beautiful, immortal and compassionate at a glance.
Yu Fuya has never regarded Ji Li as a so-called "love bean actor". When looking for a role, she will not worry about the one-sided definition of him by the outside world.
As long as the role is good, she is willing to arrange audition qualification for Ji Li and let him try more.
Ji Li nodded calmly.
As an actor, he should have performed more roles with different styles and shapes.
What about a bald head?
As long as the characters are brilliant enough, they can still gain the love of the audience.
Yu Fuya poked his face and joked, "you should take good care of your skin these two days. Although Chen Yi's behavior is demonized, he still looks like a white and tender Saint monk."
Both right and evil, pure and lustful.
When Yu Fuya saw the adjective of the character, she thought secretly - it was like a character tailored for her family!
Ji Li smiled helplessly, "sister Yu, I know."
"Well, let the driver take you back to rest early. Have a good rest at home tomorrow, and I'll take you to the audition venue the day after tomorrow."
"OK."
……
Early on Saturday morning, Yu Fuya and Ji Li arrived at the modeling audition venue, the visual effects studio.
Their studio is responsible for the special production of the "killing God" series directed by Xu Cheng.
The venue is arranged in Haishi economic and trade building. The whole 21st floor is wrapped. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a wide range of special effects props.
From lifelike dummy skin, to "bloody" broken limbs and arms, to various shapes and colors of monster models, the visual effects of this studio are very top in the circle.
The bald head style of the film is not common in the entertainment circle. The male host wants to choose young actors and just audition. The result is uncertain. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to directly shave their hair.
Therefore, the director team asked "visual effects" to take charge of the modeling of the first round of audition.
"Sister Yu, long time no see." A well-dressed woman came out and greeted with a smile.
"Vivian, long time no see." Yu Fuya hugged her and immediately introduced Ji Li, "Ji Li, this is Vivian, the boss of Shimei. She is the top female stylist in our country. "
"Hello, I'm actor Ji Li." Ji Li reached out and took the initiative to greet Vivian.
Yu Fuya and Vivian are old acquaintances. At the beginning, she helped Vivian get modeling and special effects cooperation from several studios through her contacts.
To this end, Vivian has always been grateful to Yu Fuya.
"Vivian, this time you have to give me a thin face to make our family's Ji Li look better." Yu Fuya said as he walked, "we still want to fight for this role."
"Sister Yu, look what you said. Can I not care?" Vivian looked at Ji Li's face and hid her unfinished words.
Since last week, their team has been responsible for the audition modeling of one or two actors every day.
From well-known male stars to new comers, from early twenties to about thirty... People of various positions and ages in the circle have tried.
It can only be said that bald head modeling is really too challenging. It is more like a "magic mirror" than inch head modeling. It pursues the ultimate coordination of facial features.
Some male stars look better through their hairstyle packaging. As soon as they put on the "bald head" shape, they immediately expose their shortcomings.
Either the facial lines are too rigid, resulting in the lack of soft beauty, or the temperament is inconsistent, and directly become a second Leng.
"What? Director Xu Cheng is not satisfied? " Yu Fuya insinuated.
Vivian looked at her face and whispered, "director Xu is most dissatisfied, but yesterday there was a good look. The newcomer of Jincheng film is called Zhang Ye."
When Yu Fuya heard this, her face was slightly stiff.
She has no objection to the hard-working newcomers. She just hears the four company characters of Jincheng film, which is a habitual physical disgust.
The three entered the modeling room.
Yu Fuya resolutely stopped the topic, "Vivian, please."
Vivian smiled, "no trouble."
The first step in this modeling is to make a 'scalp' - use vaseline and vulcanized latex to make an appropriate thickness on the model, and then use fixed makeup powder to remove the dried fake scalp.
Ji Li sat down in the modeling position and calmly waited for the next makeup.
The styling assistant spent some time combing Ji Li's own hair.
Vivian looked twice and said decisively, "you don't need to fill it with cotton. It's good. Just put the fake head belt on."
Because everyone's head shape is different, you need to take soft items such as cotton to fill the "bumps" on the surface of your head before putting on a fake scalp.
However, Ji Li's head shape is very beautiful, so this step can be omitted directly.
The staff pasted the fake scalp with special white glue, then treated the uneven hairline edge with cotton swab, and finally colored the fake scalp with a small brush to make a slight slag effect.
This process took nearly three hours.
Ji Li looked at some strange herself in the mirror and couldn't return to God for a moment.
Even though he has performed countless roles in his previous life, he has never had such a bold and unique style.
Before he could speak, Vivian said expectantly, "follow the staff to change clothes?"
So far, Ji Li has given her a good feeling, far better than those actors who tried modeling before. just don't know if this temperament can hold up after the legendary pure Saint costume?
"OK."
Gilly took off her clothes and followed the man's clothing assistant into the dressing room.
But in a few minutes, the change is over.
The moment the curtain was lifted, the surrounding exclamations rang one after another——
Ji Li's monk's appearance is amazing!
Instead of the cassock where red and bright yellow meet in the traditional impression, Ji Li is wearing a costume designed by the film costume team, which is specially used for the first round of role audition.
In the Suchao Dynasty, Chenyi was not only a saint monk, but also the noble crown prince of the country.
In order to reflect Chen Yi's noble and holy identity, his cassock is pure white. The clothes are outlined with gold thread, not traditional patterns such as conch, □□, treasure umbrella, but a whole piece of Buddhist scriptures, gorgeous and shocking.
The characteristic of the cassock is like a jade ring, which outlines Ji Li's strong and thin waist, making his body more straight.
It took the clothing team three months to make such an extremely beautiful dress, and the production cost alone was as high as six figures.
You know, white clothes are actually very skin color selective, but this golden silk white cassock is set on Ji Li's body, which makes his face brighter and becomes a perfect bonus.
Without the modification of hair, the extremely beautiful facial features give a fatal impact.
The light brown pupils shimmer, seemingly ruthless and affectionate, as if they have a cold and warm feeling of compassion.
The brown mole on the bridge of the nose loomed under the light, and the thin red lips gently pursed, which was invisible and infected with a sense of temptation.
Vivian was stunned, and the staff under her hand had been silly.
Clearly wearing the most holy cassock, he is abstinent and vaguely hooked. This sense of contradiction stirs people's hearts.
This is the dust in the script!
The young Saint monk who can make the women all over the country admire in Suchao can make people, demons and ghosts still worry about him after learning his identity as a "demon monk". I'm afraid only Ji Li's appearance can qualify!
These days, they receive so many audition actors.
Many actors have already exposed their shortcomings simply because of their bald head. After wearing the troupe's Gaoding cassock, the greasy and vulgar feeling is basically spoiling the word "Saint monk".
Some employees couldn't hold back their praise and whispered them——
"Ah, Ji Li, have a good look!"
"That's amazing. How can he hold all his appearances?"
"This should be the actor director Xu is looking for?"
"Don't be too absolute first. The shape of a demon monk is the core of the film. It's a pity that Ji Li can't try it now."
Vivian regained her mind and revealed a trace of appreciation at the bottom of her eyes. "Ji Li, according to the requirements of director Xu, you have to take some photos and modeling videos now. Is that ok?"
Their studio will uniformly send the actor's modeling to the mailbox of the director team. If director Xu Cheng and the screenwriter feel that the actor's image is appropriate, they will unilaterally notify the actor company to determine the time of the second round of audition.
"Of course."
"David, take him to the studio next door." Vivian greets the exclusive photographer who comes to the studio.
David rubbed his hands and excitedly led Ji Li to the next door.
After filming the "monk" actor for such a day, David thought he was tired of aesthetics until he saw Ji Li. The other party's shape is completely long in his aesthetic point!
That is great!
A group of employees followed and slipped over to see Ji Li take modeling photos.
People in the film and television modeling industry have always been picky and vicious.
Yu Fuya saw everyone's reaction and knew that Ji Li's modeling was half successful. The tight chord finally loosened, "Vivian, is this our family OK?"
"We think it's OK and useless? I can't be the master. " Vivian told the truth, "the decision-making power of this film is still director Xu."
As soon as the voice fell, a steady inquiry sounded behind him.
"What decision is mine?"
Yu Fuya and Vivian turned around and showed surprise.
"Director Xu, why are you free today? You should have told me earlier. I'll pick you up myself. " Vivian speaks politely.
"I came to the neighborhood to do some private business. I heard your assistant say that your studio is nearby, so I came up to have a look." Director Xu Cheng explained briefly.
He looked at Yu Fuya on one side and was surprised, "Ms. Yu?"
"Xu Dao." Yu Fuya nodded, "I contacted your team the day before yesterday and brought the artists under my hand to try out the modeling."
Xu Cheng thought slightly, "the actor named Ji Li?"
"Yes."
"Where is he?" Xu Chengyong showed a trace of interest.
"In the next studio." Vivian and Yu Fuya looked at each other and took the initiative to lead the way, "director Xu, let me show you?"
Xu Cheng nodded and followed.
Yu Fuya stared at Xu Cheng's back and tightened her heart again.
Unexpectedly, I met the director at the end of the day?
I hope Ji Li's strength and good luck can continue to bless him and bring him new good news.
……
In the studio.
The shutter crackled and David became more and more excited. He looked at Ji Li in the camera. The whole person was hot and almost sweating.
It's beautiful!
What a desire!
Too pure!
David's heart pounded. If the Chinese hadn't always been restrained, he wanted to shout out Ji Li's beauty.
In fact, the director team has stipulated that each actor can only take ten photos, and David has personally taken no less than 100 photos for Ji Li.
"Yes." David stopped. He adjusted the video function of the camera. "You can take two more steps at will, turn back and pose."
The purpose of video recording is to show the physical dynamics of actors to the director team.
Before Ji Li answered, the crowd dispersed in surprise.
Ji Li followed his reputation and found that he was headed by a middle-aged man. His hands were behind him, and his eyes implied a look.
Yu Fuya stood at the left back of the other party, silently reminding the identity of the visitor with his mouth.
——Director Xu Cheng.
Ji Li certainly recognizes that he is one of the four top directors in China's film circle.
He soon regained his composure and took the initiative to bow and greet, "director Xu, I'm actor Ji Li."
Xu Cheng nodded, and the smile on his lips slightly expanded. "I know," time lobbyist ", I saw your movie, and if awesome publicity before the show, I'm afraid that the box office champion of new year's holiday will be changed.
As a competitor in the same period, Xu Cheng has privately seen the full version of the time lobbyist. If he wants to say that the actors who have made a profound impact on him are only Ji Li in front of him.
"The director is over praised."
Xu Cheng didn't let Ji Li move, but walked around him. Only then did he show his appreciation smile, "your plasticity is beyond my expectation."
At the moment, Ji Li has completely lost the shadow of Xiang Suian. The warmth of the whole body has the taste of Chen Yi in his youth.
However, this alone is not enough.
The core length of the film is "demon monk" Chenyi, which is a completely different evil feeling from the shape of "Saint monk".
With him, appearance is important, but acting is more important than appearance.
Xu Cheng is an efficient director. Since Ji Li's appearance is in line with his heart, he simply issued a formal invitation.
"Are you free next Friday? In the second round of audition, play a script clip for me to see. "

#Wait, Jili's demon monk image is evil and seductive!
