Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

The first person to audition was Zhang Jinlai.

Wearing a Monkey King costume, he won the approval of the director team in just a few minutes of performance.

"good."

"As expected of a family of monkey kings, this performance of the monkey is absolutely amazing."

"It's worse, I thought it was the real Sun Wukong."

For this.

Director Yang Jie also nodded.

She is actually very optimistic about Zhang Jinlai.

but.

After all, we are interviewing two people today.

Although Zhang Jinlai's performance was perfect, Yang Jie has not yet decided on a role.

certainly.

Yang Jie didn't say anything either.

It's come to this point.

In order to determine the role of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, the entire crew must hold a meeting and discuss it before finalizing it.

"Um, are you inviting Teacher Chen Ping next?"

"Um."

"Actually, I think Teacher Chen Ping may not be able to surpass Teacher Zhang Jinlai."

"I think so."

Several leaders of CCTV exchanged an opinion: "I am worried that if Teacher Chen Ping is out, will he still play Tang Monk?"

"this……"

Everyone looked at it.

at last.

It was Director Wang who spoke up and said: "Although Mr. Chen Ping is young, he has no moral problems. If he loses to Mr. Zhang Jinlai in this audition, I don't think he will have any other ideas. As for whether he will act Tang Seng... I will do his job for him."

"In this case, let's invite Teacher Chen Ping."

Several people nodded.

After a while, Chen Ping came to the directing team.

At this time, Chen Ping was still wearing the previous stone monkey costume.

There is nothing wrong with this outfit.

But it is far different from Zhang Jinlai's Monkey King costume.

But the audition is not about the costumes, it's about the acting skills.

"Hello teachers, I am actor Chen Ping."

Facing Yang Jie, Chen Ping greeted everyone.

Director Yang Jie smiled and said: "Teacher Chen Ping, you are the top person in the actor world. All of us recognize you, so why do we need to introduce ourselves?"

"According to the rules, this is what actors should do."

"Then we won't be polite to you. The topic has been decided before. Please start your performance."

Chen Ping nodded and immediately began his performance.

There is no fixed routine for this performance, it is entirely based on your own interpretation.

Therefore, the stone monkey played by Chen Ping at this time is just like when Sun Wukong was just born in Journey to the West.

He was very curious about the world and looked around in Huaguo Mountain from time to time.

After slowly getting familiar with the world, he played in the mountains to his heart's content.

until.

When he saw a water curtain hole appearing in front of him, Chen Ping jumped with excitement.

This is a non-physical performance.

Even if there is no Water Curtain Cave opposite, you still have to show that you seem to have seen a fairy cave.

This performance made Director Yang Jie and several CCTV leaders stunned.

They originally thought that the Monkey King played by Zhang Jinlai had already acted very vividly.

But the stone monkey Sun Wukong played by Chen Ping is so lifelike.

Even though Chen Ping is not as eye-catching as the Monkey King in this stone monkey costume, he perfectly expresses the image of a stone monkey.

But that's not the end of it.

After Chen Ping played the role of Stone Monkey, Chen Ping changed his clothes.

at this time.

Chen Ping's outfit is a Taoist robe.

Taoist Sun Wukong?

Yang Jie's eyes lit up.

Perhaps to others, Taoist Sun Wukong is a bit strange.

Didn’t Sun Wukong follow Tang Monk to practice Buddhism? How could he be a Taoist?

But all of Sun Wukong's magic skills all come from Taoism.

His first master, which can also be said to be his only master, was Patriarch Bodhi.

As for Tang Monk, although Sun Wukong calls him Master.

But this Tang Monk didn't teach Sun Wukong any skills.

When he was young, he traveled around the world and worshiped Patriarch Bodhi as his teacher at Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain.

He learned the seventy-two changes and the Jingdou Cloud, and also learned a series of other spells.

Therefore, the image of Sun Wukong as a Taoist at this time completely fits the original work.

I only saw Chen Ping wearing a Taoist robe. Carefully, Yiyi stepped forward and said, "Master... can your technique lead to immortality?"

Director Yang Jie almost applauded after saying this sentence.

This is so beautifully acted.

At that time, didn’t Sun Wukong want to learn the method of immortality from Patriarch Bodhi?

But that's not the end of it.

The Taoist Sun Wukong is just a stage of Sun Wukong.

After Sun Wukong returned from his studies, he became the demon king of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Yes.

Before Sun Wukong became the Monkey King and Monkey King, he was still a demon king.

At that time, he conquered countless big and small demons from various mountains.

He even made a series of sworn brothers.

Like the Bull Demon King, the Dragon Demon King, the Peng Demon King... plus Sun Wukong, there are seven in total.

The Sun Wukong at this time is different from the Sun Wukong in the eyes of everyone.

At this time, Sun Wukong was still very ferocious.

This ferocious character is just like Zhou Xingchi's Journey to the West Conquering Demons chapter.

So when Sun Wukong, played by Chen Ping, showed his evil side, director Yang Jie was stunned at first and didn't understand.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel admiration in my heart.

Yes.

As the demon king of the generation, Sun Wukong, you say he is a kind person, how is this possible?

Not only was Sun Wukong not a kind person at that time.

Even if he was imprisoned for 500 years and followed Tang Seng, he might not be very kind.

The end of a generation of demon kings.

then.

That is Monkey King causing havoc in Heaven.

It is different from Zhang Jinlai’s Monkey King.

If Zhang Jinlai's The Monkey King is indeed amazing.

But when Chen Ping's Sun Wukong, who causes havoc in the Heavenly Palace, appears, it's not as simple as being stunning.

I only saw Chen Ping wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings.

The feet are wearing lotus root silk and walking on the clouds.

Wearing chained golden armor.

He holds a jade-like golden hoop in his hand.

These equipments were naturally purchased by Chen Ping from the system space.

Of course not the real thing.

The genuine Chen Ping will become an immortal.

However, although it is not genuine, it is just a protective product.

But even if it is a protective product.

As soon as Chen Ping's set of defense products produced by the system came out, he blinded everyone on the directing team.

That's not all.

What really shocked them was Chen Ping's fiery red cloak.

With a flick of his right hand, the entire cloak flew up in the wind.

Although only Chen Ping is playing the role at this time, under the cloak, you seem to be able to see tens of thousands of demon soldiers and monkey generals.

Faintly, the sound of killing could be heard all over the sky.

"What a Monkey King, Monkey King."

At this moment.

Yang Jie finally couldn't help but applaud.

even.

Several CCTV leaders who had always thought Zhang Jinlai's performance was perfect had nothing to say now.

Sun Wukong, played by Chen Ping, truly conquered them.

certainly.

This isn't over yet either.

After Monkey King, the Monkey King, Chen Ping also played Monkey King, the Monkey King, and Monkey King, the Victorious Buddha.

Chen Ping played out the entire life of Sun Wukong.

certainly.

Chen Ping's interpretation of Sun Wukong's performances at various stages of his life is not entirely Chen Ping's own understanding.

Among them, Chen Ping also made reference to a series of movies and TV shows from his previous life.

For example, it's like Xing Ye's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

There are also cartoons such as The Return of the Great Sage and so on.

These films have tried their best to perfect and even improve the character of Monkey King from all angles.

so.

The Monkey King played by Chen Ping in this version is so classic and so breathtaking.

…

"Director Wang, Chen Ping's audition seems to have lasted for more than an hour."

"It does seem a bit long."

"This audition..."

Lounge on the other side.

Zhang Jin, who was a little anxious, said.

Assistant Director Wang patted Zhang Jinlai on the shoulder: "Don't worry, your character will never run away."

After finishing speaking, Assistant Director Wang explained: "After all, Teacher Chen Ping's influence is too great, and it is impossible for the director team to refuse it openly. Furthermore, several leaders also want to persuade Teacher Chen Ping to play Tang Monk."

"I also think Teacher Chen Ping is more suitable to play Tang Monk."

Zhang Jinlai also nodded: "After all, Teacher Chen Ping is so good-looking."

This is also what Zhang Jinlai thinks is the best candidate.

On the one hand, if Chen Ping plays Tang Monk, then Journey to the West's ratings are absolutely guaranteed.

On the other hand, if Chen Ping plays Tang Monk, he won't be able to steal his Monkey King.

But if Chen Ping doesn't play Tang Monk.

This can be a bit troublesome.

only.

As Assistant Director Wang comforted me, another half hour passed.

finally.

Chen Ping's audition is over.

"Mr. Chen, how are you doing?"

Wang Jinhua accompanied Chen Ping to leave the CCTV headquarters building.

"have no idea."

Chen Ping shook his head: "They didn't tell me either."

"Mr. Chen, what kind of actor are you? Even if I haven't told you, you still know."

"Then I can only say that maybe I won the role of Monkey King."

"real?"

"Whether it's true or not, let's wait until they announce it."

…

Not too many surprises.

A few days later, Chen Ping received a notification from the director team and successfully captured Sun Wukong.

As for Zhang Jin coming here.

When he learned that he failed the audition, Zhang Jinlai once thought there was something shady.

But after all, they are the Monkey King family.

The director team still sent Chen Ping’s audition video to Zhang Jinlai.

After seeing the various stages of Sun Wukong's life played by Chen Ping, Zhang Jinlai was speechless.

What else can I say?

On the one hand, Chen Ping's performance is not inferior to his own.

Even higher than himself.

Especially the Monkey King of Qi, played by Chen Ping, he has this aura just standing there.

Even just watching the video, Zhang Jinlai was shocked by the Monkey King, the Monkey King, played by Chen Ping.

If it were actually filmed, the momentum would probably be even more terrifying.

on the other hand.

Chen Ping's influence completely exceeded his own.

No matter which angle they look at, in the end, they will choose Chen Ping.

As for myself.

I can only regret that I was eliminated.

…

After Chen Ping is cast as Sun Wukong, other characters won’t need to be so troublesome.

Half a month later, the Journey to the West crew was officially established.

Chen Ping didn't go anywhere this time and stayed completely on the Journey to the West crew.

It took more than half a year in total.

Journey to the West is finally finished.

After the filming of Journey to the West was completed, Chen Ping's TV series came to an end for the time being.

He will be fully prepared to shoot movies in the future.

first.

That's the Hollywood side. Iron Man, which he starred in previously, is finally scheduled to be released.

As the male lead, Chen Ping naturally went to Hollywood for promotion.

Back in Hollywood again.

Chen Ping's mood at this time was different from before.

I really wanted to be famous in Hollywood before.

But now, Chen Ping's mood has become much calmer.

This surprised Kang Bo, his CAA agent who has been working with him, and said at the same time: "Chen... It has been a year since I last filmed Iron Man. I didn't expect that you really wouldn't be able to do it in a year." Come to Hollywood.”

"I want to come too, but I really don't have time."

"What could be better than a career in Hollywood."

"certainly."

Chen Ping nodded: "Look, our domestic movie box office has exceeded 3 billion, and it will exceed 4 billion or 5 billion someday. By then, even Hollywood will probably not be able to withstand a market as big as China."

"I'm a little envious of you now."

Kang Bo also nodded.

He didn't expect it either.

In just one year, the film market in China has risen so quickly.

However, Kangbo still believes that Hollywood is the center of global movies, and continued: "Anyway, Chen... This "Iron Man" is your first starring movie in Hollywood, which is very important to you. .”

"Thanks."

Chen Ping nodded and then asked: "How is the current market performance?"

"not too good."

Kang Bo shook his head: "Although I am a Marvel fan, I have made several Marvel movies before, but not many people are optimistic about them. The mainstream market now is DC animation. In addition..."

At this point, Kangbo did not continue.

"What else?"

"Then let me speak frankly. In addition, because you are Chinese, the market is not very optimistic about this movie. You know, being the leading male lead is different from being a supporting role. Supporting roles do not need to consider too many things. As long as he performs, it's fine. But for the male lead, in addition to performing, he also needs to have a certain box office appeal."

"So, everyone thinks that the Iron Man I play is about to pounce?"

"Roughly the same."

Kang Bo felt helpless and continued: "You know, after you played Iron Man, you should have continued to stay in Hollywood. Moreover, I did find a lot of movies for you at that time. If in this year, If you can develop well in Hollywood, I think your current situation will not be like this. I contacted several directors before, and several directors who were originally interested in you said that they wanted to see your Iron Man movie first. We’ll think about it after we perform.”

"Kangbo, thank you."

Chen Ping smiled slightly: "That's okay. However, you have to tell them. If the price of my film after Iron Man is released, it will not be the previous price."

…

"Everyone, there is a good movie next week. Are you interested?"

"what movie?"

"iron Man."

"Marvel superheroes?"

"right."

“Isn’t Marvel about to go bankrupt?”

"not yet……"

"Well, if this movie fails, it will probably go bankrupt. It's a pity that he has a series of superheroes. Will he start selling the copyrights again?"

"Don't be like this...the superheroes in Marvel are quite interesting. Besides, Iron Man is played by Chen Ping."

"Chen Ping?"

"If you don't remember, he previously played the role of the Elf Prince in The Lord of the Rings, an agent in The Matrix, and the Joker in Batman."

"Oh, I know, it's him. This guy is quite good at acting. However, Iron Man may not be really good-looking. After all, Iron Man is just an inconspicuous second-rate hero in Marvel movies. But , because of Chen Ping’s acting skills, I am willing to go and see..."

PS: Happy New Year to everyone. In addition, this book has reached an advanced stage and is expected to be completed in the near future.
