Chapter 107：

When Ji Li saw the name of the movie, he became a little bit interested.

Director Xu Cheng's "Death of Gods" series, he took time to learn about this year's New Year's Day holiday. It can be said that the first three "Meihu", "Quiniang" and "Flower Demon" in the Killing of Gods series created a new round of climax in Chinese mythical movies.

Whether it is from the plot of the story itself, the portraying of the actors' acting skills, the composition of the shooting pictures, or the sophisticated production in the later stage, all of them have been developed in all aspects and tried their best.

Therefore, their box office can steadily win the championship of the current period, which is an expected answer.

At the beginning, how many teenage celebrities were vying for their heads and wanted to get the heroine of Director Seo Sung?

As long as a series of films with a crowd-based foundation are performed above the passing line, it is completely a step up to the career.

Of course, Director Xu Cheng also has strict requirements for actors' acting skills.

The mistresses of the trilogy are all acting.

"The original trilogy all focused on the theme of the "Big Heroine". I didn't expect that this fourth "Demon Monk" should be replaced by the main hero." Yu Fuya was sitting on the sofa, with a strong interest in her eyes.

Casting auditions are conducted in secret in the industry, and companies and brokers are vying for the few auditions.

After Yu Fuya learned of the news, she immediately used her contacts to contact Director Xu Cheng's team and asked for one of the auditions for Ji Li.

Of course, there is also a synopsis of this movie character.

She knows that no matter how good the film crew is, Ji Li will always pay the most attention to the quality of the work itself.

"The complete script and plot will not be revealed to the outside world for the time being. First, take a look at the character outline? But I think that director Xu Cheng's script should not be too bad. Yuzhu is in front, he will not easily smash himself. Signboard." Yu Fuya analyzed.

I heard that the script creation of "Monk" and the previous "Flower Monster" were carried out at the same time. On the contrary, the former has been repeatedly revised and polished to the present before the plan to start the project.

It is said that the series is difficult to shoot well. A director such as Xu Cheng dares to start the fourth film. He should be confident in shooting techniques and scripts.

Ji Li nodded and looked down. She couldn't wait to scan the book of people that Yu Fuya had brought.

The story of "Monk" revolves around the actor "Chen Yi".

During the barbaric period, the world was torn apart.

Wars are everywhere, demons and ghosts are proliferating, and the world is difficult. The world is divided into four major categories: humans, gods, demons, and ghosts.

To say that humans and gods are identifiable, but Buddhas and demons are identifiable.

However, there is one person, who is a human, a god, a ghost, or a demon. It is difficult to identify, because he murdered, slashed demons, and collected demons. Rumor has it that he even killed gods.

Demon Seng Chenyi, his whereabouts are blurred.

I heard that he was born rich and noble, and he was originally a Taoist monk.

But in the year Chenyi went to heaven, he personally beheaded the people of the country, privately used blood and light as a sacrifice, in exchange for his own path to the gods and Buddhas.

But on the day he was sealed, his crime was discovered by the gods, and he was re-introduced into the mortal world.

From then on, he no longer turned to the Buddha, instead he took up the evil blood with his hands full, sucking human blood, swallowing monster beads, destroying ghosts, and drawing spiritual collaterals. He did evil things and chanted the Buddha's way.

It is said that Chenyi has lived for no less than a hundred years.

Some people say that he has an abominable face and is even more terrifying than a monster. Others say that he has a handsome face, and he deceives and kills people with beauty.

In fact, no one has seen Chen Yi's true face.

In addition to the Shinto, the other three widely circulated words-the one who can glimpse the true face of Chen Yi must be at the time of dying.

…

When Ji Li saw the background profile of the first half, his eyes became more interesting.

He likes such a character with a sense of ‘villain’. It’s sensational and contradictory.

Moreover, according to his years of experience in watching the script, such a male lead character is bound to have little-known truths about his life experience.

Sure enough, as soon as he turned the page, he saw the content of the character background——

In fact, Chen Yi was the prince born to the queen of the former Su Dynasty. From the moment he was born, he had rained for seven consecutive days, which resolved the biggest drought in the Su Dynasty in a hundred years.

Because of one thing, the whole country was sincerely grateful for the arrival of the prince, and recognized him as a blessed person.

The Su dynasty believed in Buddhism. The most famous Buddhist temple in the entire dynasty, the Shou Shen Temple, is said to be a passage connecting the gods and the mortal world. The four leaders and the eight elders in it have all left the mortal body. The waiter stationed in the world.

When Chen was six years old, the abbot of Lingtong, who had been in retreat at the Shoushen Temple for a long time, suddenly left the customs and went straight to the palace to speak of God's will to take Prince Chen as a disciple.

He said, let Chen Yi convert to Buddhism, in the near future, he will be able to rank among the gods and save all sentient beings.

Empress Su Chao heard about this, resisted all the perseverance in her heart, and agreed.

After all, how can the emperor's life in the world for decades be more important than the ascension to heaven? For the sake of his own son, I have to be willing to be reluctant.

This is for the good of the dust, and also for the people who will stay in the court in the future.

Chen Yi did have spiritual roots. After being brought into Buddhism, he practiced with one heart, one year to master wisdom, two years to master the Dharma, and three years to cultivate the highest point of the Dharma.

But in ten years, he personally beheaded and saved many demons and ghosts, and became the most famous monk in the Su Dynasty.

Of course, this is inseparable from the large-scale worship and promotion of the Emperor Su Dynasty.

Chen Yi is outstanding, and his temperament is even more gentle and elegant. The women of the Su Dynasty love him and admire him, and the men are jealous of him, but they have to submit to his ability to slay demons and exorcise demons and are willing to worship him devoutly.

When Chen was 18 years old, the abbot of Lingtong told him that the time had come and, in accordance with the instructions of the gods, would help him to escape from the flesh and bones of the mortal fetus and become a **** and Buddha.

Chen Yi thought that he had been able to cultivate for many years, but he didn't expect that on the day of ascending to the sky, he would learn the news of'war damaging the country and the ruling dynasty'.

The abbot of Lingtong told him that in order to be among the gods and buddhas, he must obtain enough pious belief.

The heaven is sealed, the earth is hell.

When the people were about to die, the power of the devout prayers that burst out was immense, and the power of the whole country would help one person become a Buddha. This is what Su Chao should do for his former prince.

After all, if Chen Yi was not born eighteen years ago, the Su Dynasty might have been destroyed by that drought.

Not only Chenyi, but other gods and Buddhas were also in this high position at the beginning.

The so-called compassion for the heavens and compassion for others, in the end, became unfeeling and inexhaustible, seemingly revered Buddha light, but it was covered up with monstrous blood.

What gods and Buddhas will save sentient beings? It's just a group of humble species that regard mortals as ants!

Chen Yi tore the so-called ‘approved robes’ to pieces. His behavior angered the group of high gods and Buddhas, and everyone teamed up to suppress him.

Chen Yi, who had just gained the power of the nation's faith, had also injured many gods and Buddhas under severe injuries. He slipped back into the mortal world through chaos and vowed not to set foot on this dirty land again.

In order to conceal this fact, other gods and Buddhas fabricated a lot of false information and spread it to the human world. In addition, Chenyi after descending to the world did a lot of'killing' things that violated the Buddhist school.

So, a hundred years later, Chen Yi has become the demon monk who "cries to fight and kill" and "fear and fear" in Sidaokou.

And the beginning of the movie story starts from here.

...

After reading the outline of the character, Ji Li's inner interest did not disappear.

Compared with the concept of "respecting gods" in traditional fairy tales, the series of The Killing of Gods is the reverse. Although he hasn't seen the complete script yet, he is already looking forward to the plot of "God and Buddha" after Qichen.

In addition, the true story about Chenyi's past must have been hidden in the plot of the script when a hidden thread is hidden. For future movie viewers, there will also be a sense of insight that will slowly dig out the truth.

"How about? Do you want to try it?" Yu Fuya asked, "This movie is tentatively scheduled to be launched in early November. We have plenty of time."

If it can be done, a big movie project will be confirmed in the second half of the year.

And after the trip is over and before the start of "Monk", there is still a gap of four or five months, so you can pick up another movie with a shorter shooting period.

If the audition for "The Demon Monk" is not successful, then they are actually not a loss.

"Yes." Ji Li responded.

He needs a big male lead movie that can resist the box office, and "Monk" is suitable from all aspects. Of course, he still can't take it lightly in the audition.

Ji Li thought for a while, and asked, "In four days, I will start a new round of reality show shooting. Is there time for the audition?"

"It's too late. If you have no problem, Director Xu Cheng and I have decided the day after tomorrow."

This arrangement will not delay the shooting of the reality show the next day.

Yu Fuya remembered something, and emphasized, "By the way, the first round of auditions is not a trial of acting skills, but a trial of modeling."

Director Xu Cheng pays great attention to the conformity of actors and characters in appearance.

To put it more bluntly, Chen Yi is a monk. Not only does this actor's "bald head" look can't make people act out, but it also makes people feel beautiful, immortal, and gentle and compassionate.

Yu Fuya never regarded Ji Li as a so-called "idol actor", and when looking for a role, he would 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 auditions for Ji Li and let him try more.

Ji Li nodded calmly.

As an actor, he should have performed more roles in different styles and shapes.

What about a bald head?

As long as the characters are brilliant enough, they can still reap the audience's love.

Yu Fuya poked him in the face and joked, "You have to take good care of your skin these two days. Although Chen Yi's behavior is demonized, she still looks like a white and tender holy monk."

Both righteous and evil, pure and desire.

When Yu Fuya saw the character's adjectives, he thought about it secretly-this is like a character tailored for her family!

Ji Li laughed helplessly, "Sister Yu, I know."

"Well, let the driver take you back to rest early. Tomorrow you will have a good rest at home and recharge your energy. The day after tomorrow, I will pick you up to the audition venue."

"it is good."

...

On Saturday morning, Yu Fuya took Ji Li to the venue of the styling audition-Shimei Special Effects Studio.

The special productions of the "Death of God" series directed by Xu Cheng are all in charge of their studio.

The venue is arranged in the Haishi Economic and Trade Building. The entire 21st floor is covered. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a dazzling array of special effects props.

From realistic dummy skins, to ‘bloody’ stumps and broken arms, to all kinds of monster models, the visual effects of this studio are top-notch in the industry.

The bald look of the movie is not common in the entertainment industry. The male protagonist chooses young actors and only auditions. The result is uncertain. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to shave their hair directly.

Therefore, the director team asked ‘Semi Special Effects’ to take charge of the styling of the first round of auditions.

"Sister Yu, long time no see." A well-dressed woman greeted her with a smile.

"Vivian, long time no see." Yu Fuya hugged her, and immediately introduced Ji Li, "Jili, this is the boss of Seemei, Vivian. She is our country's top female styling special effects artist. ."

"Hello, I'm actor Ji Li." Ji Li stretched out his hand and greeted Vivian on his own initiative.

Yu Fuya and Vivian are old acquaintances. At the beginning, she used her contacts to "bridge" and help Vivian to cooperate with several crews in styling and special effects.

For this, Vivian has always been very grateful to Yu Fuya.

"Vivienne, you have to give me a thin face this time to make our Ji Li's look more beautiful." Yu Fuya said as he walked, "We still really want to fight for this role."

"Sister Yu, look at what you said, can I not take care of it?" Vivian looked at Ji Li's face for a moment, and concealed the unfinished words.

Since last week, their team has been responsible for the auditioning of one or two actors every day.

From well-known male stars, to newcomers, from their early twenties, to about 30...people of all circles and ages have tried it.

It can only be said that the shape of the bald head is really too challenging. It is more like a "demon mirror" than the shape of the inch head. It pursues the ultimate coordination of facial features.

Some male celebrities use their hairstyles to make them look good, and their shortcomings are immediately exposed as soon as they are sculpted with their ‘bald head’.

Either the facial lines are too rigid, resulting in insufficient soft beauty, or the temperament is not consistent, and it is directly a second stunner.

"Why? Director Xu Cheng is not satisfied?" Yu Fuya poked in secret.

Vivienne said in a low voice, "Director Xu is mostly dissatisfied, but yesterday, the look of a person looks pretty good. A newcomer from Jincheng Pictures, named Zhang Ye."

When Yu Fuya heard this, her face was slightly stiff.

She has no objection to the hardworking newcomers, just hearing the four big characters of Jincheng Pictures, she is habitually disgusted with biology.

The three walked into the modeling room.

Yu Fuya decisively stopped the topic, "Vivian, trouble you guys."

Vivian responded with a smile, "No trouble."

The first step of this styling is to make a ‘scalp’-using petroleum jelly and vulcanized latex to make a suitable thickness on the model, and then use the loose powder to remove the dried fake scalp.

Ji Li sat down in the styling position and calmly waited for the next makeup.

The styling assistant spent a little time combing Ji Li's own hair.

Vivian glanced twice and said decisively, "You don't need to use cotton to fill it, it's good, just put the fake head on the belt."

Because everyone has a different head shape, you need to fill the ‘unevenness’ on the surface of the head with soft items such as cotton before putting on the fake scalp.

However, Ji Li's head shape is very beautiful, and this step can be omitted directly.

The staff uses special white glue to stick the fake scalp, and then use cotton swabs to treat the uneven hairline edges, and finally use a small brush to color the fake scalp to create a slight scum effect.

This set of procedures took almost three hours.

Ji Li looked at the strange self in the mirror, and couldn't recover for a while.

Even though there are countless roles played by "Last Life", he has never had such a bold and unique look.

Before he could speak, Vivian said with expectation, "Follow the staff to change clothes and try?"

So far, Ji Li has given her a very good feeling, far better than those actors who tried to look before. I just don’t know whether this temperament can be sustained after the costume of the legendary pure sage?

"it is good."

Ji Li took off the clothes and followed the male clothing assistant into the dressing room.

In just a few minutes, the change is over.

The moment the door curtain was opened, the surrounding exclamation sounded one after another--

The appearance of Ji Li's holy monk is amazing!

Rather than the traditional impression of the red and bright yellow robes, Ji Li is wearing a costume designed by the film costume team, which is specially used for the first round of role auditions.

While the Su Dynasty was still there, Chen Yi was both a holy monk and the noble prince of this country.

In order to reflect Chen Yi’s noble and holy identity, his robes are pure white, and the gold thread outlines the clothes not with traditional patterns such as snails, umbrellas, and umbrellas, but a whole piece of Buddhist scriptures, gorgeous and shocking. .

The cassock is like a jade ring with a buckle, which outlines Ji Li's thin waist, making his figure more upright.

It took the clothing team three full months to make such an ultimate costume, and the production cost alone was as high as six figures.

You know, white clothes are actually very picky for skin color, but this golden silk white robe is put on Ji Li's body, making his face more discerning and becoming a perfect plus item.

Without the modification of the hair, the extremely handsome facial features gave a lethal impact.

The light brown pupils shimmered, seeming ruthless and affectionate, as if with a cold and warm feeling of compassion.

The brown mole on the bridge of the nose is looming under the light of the light, and the thin red lips are gently pressed, and there is a sense of temptation invisibly.

Vivienne was stunned, and all the employees under her hand looked stupid.

Obviously wearing the most holy robes, the temperament of abstinence but also faintly seductive, this sense of contradiction disturbs people's hearts.

This is Chen Yi in the script!

The young saint monk who can admire the women of the entire country can make people, demons, and ghosts still worry about his status as a'monk monk'. I am afraid that only Ji Li's appearance is qualified. Right!

These days, they have received so many audition actors.

Many actors have exposed their shortcomings simply by their bald heads. After putting on the high-definition robes of the crew, the greasy and mundane feeling is simply squandering the term ‘saint monk’.

There were still employees who couldn't hold back the praise from the bottom of their hearts, and they discussed in a low voice——

"Ahhhh, Ji Li looks so good!"

"It's terrific, how can he hold on to any appearance?"

"This should be the actor Xu is looking for?"

"Don't be too absolute, the demon-monk style is the core of the movie, but it's a pity that Ji Li can't try it now."

…

Vivian regained her senses, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, "Jili, according to Director Xu's request, you have to take a few photos and modeling videos now, is that okay?"

Their studio will uniformly send the actor's appearance to the director team's mailbox. If Director Xu Cheng and the screenwriter feel that the actor's image is suitable, they will unilaterally notify the actor company to determine the time for the second round of audition.

"of course."

"David, you take him to the next studio." Vivian greeted the exclusive photographer who came to the studio.

David rubbed his hands and led Ji Li to the next door excitedly.

After filming such an actor of the'monk', David thought he was exhausted from aesthetics, until he saw Ji Li, the appearance of the other party was completely in his aesthetic point!

awesome!

A group of employees slid over to watch Ji Li's styling photos.

People in the film and television styling circle have always been critical and venomous.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Yu Fuya knew that Ji Li's styling was half successful, and his tight heartstrings finally let go, "Vivian, is this okay with our family?"

"We think it's useless to say yes? Can't be the master." Vivian told the truth, "The decision of this movie is still in Director Xu."

As soon as the voice fell, a steady interrogation sounded behind him.

"What decision is my responsibility?"

Yu Fuya and Vivian turned around, showing surprise expressions at the same time.

"Director Xu, why are you free today? You should tell me earlier and I will pick you up in person." Vivian said politely.

"Come to do some private affairs nearby. I heard your assistant say that your studio is nearby, so come and have a look." Director Xu Cheng explained briefly.

He looked at Yu Fuya on one side, his eyebrows dangled in surprise, "Ms. Yu?"

"Director Xu." Yu Fuya nodded, "My genius contacted your team before and brought the artist under my hand to try a look."

Xu Cheng thought slightly, "That actor named Ji Li?"

"Yes it is."

"Where is the other person?" Xu Cheng surged in interest.

"In the next room." Vivian and Yu Fuya looked at each other and took the initiative to lead the way, "Director Xu, I'll take you to see?"

Xu Cheng nodded and followed.

Yu Fuya stared at Xu Cheng's back, her heartstring tightened again.

Unexpectedly, when he was hit by mistake, he would meet the director himself when it was about to end?

I hope that Ji Li's strength and good luck can continue to be blessed and bring him brand new good news.

...

In the studio.

The shutter sound kept crackling, and David became more excited as he shot. He looked at Ji Li in the camera, and he was almost sweating.

So beautiful!

Too much!

Too pure!

David's heart thumped and thumped. If it weren't for the temperament of Chinese people, he would want to call Ji Li's beauty loudly.

In fact, the director team has stipulated that each actor can only take ten photos, and David can't help but shoot more than a hundred photos for Ji Li.

"Sure." David stopped, he adjusted the camera's recording function, "You can take two more steps at will, turn the front side and back, and pose."

The purpose of recording the video is to show the actor's physical dynamics to the director team.

Before Ji Li could answer, the crowd of onlookers dispersed in surprise.

Ji Li followed his reputation and found out that the leader was a middle-aged man with his hands behind him, his eyes cast implicitly.

Yu Fuya stood on the back left of the opponent, silently reminding the identity of the person who came.

——Director Xu Cheng.

Of course, Ji Li recognizes it as one of the four major directors in the Chinese film industry.

He quickly recovered his composure and took the initiative to bow and greet him, "Hello Director Xu, I'm actor Ji Li."

Xu Cheng nodded, and the smile on the corners of his mouth widened slightly. "I know, Xiang Sui'an in "Time Lobbyist", I have seen your movie, if you put more publicity before the release, I am afraid that the box office champions on New Year's Day holiday will be easy Lord."

As a competitor in the same period, Xu Cheng has watched the full version of "Time Lobbyist" in private. If you want to say that the actor who has made him profoundly influential, only the actor in front of him is Ji Li.

"The director is too acclaimed."

Xu Cheng didn't let Ji Li move. Instead, he walked around him for a while, only then showed an appreciative smile, "Your plasticity is beyond my expectation."

At this moment, Ji Li has completely lost the shadow of Xiang Suian, and the warmth of the whole body has the taste of Chen Yi in his youth.

However, this alone is not enough.

The core part of the movie is "Monk Monk" Chenyi, which is a completely different evil feeling from the shape of "Holy Monk".

Here, appearance is important, but acting modeling is more important than appearance.

Xu Cheng is an efficient director. Since Ji Li's appearance is what he wants, he simply sends out a formal invitation.

"Are you free next Friday? The second round of audition, show me a script clip."
