In front of Ling Zifeng, Yang Jie was still able to hold herself up, but as soon as he left, her expression immediately became solemn.

If Beijing Film Studio really makes the movie "Journey to the West", how can it compare with others?

Than funds?

Well……

Than equipment?

Well……

Than actors?

Pull them down, good actors are all in major film studios, and they have a system. Even if you want to borrow actors, you have to pick them first, and wait for them to pick the rest before they can get the CCTV.

Although Yang Jie has a stubborn temper and never admits defeat, she has to admit that if she really competes with Ling Zifeng, at least in terms of hardware, she has no chance of winning.

Just as he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Gu Bei's words.

"How to say?"

Gu Bei knew that he had to add fuel to the fire at this time to burn Yang Jie's small universe, otherwise the director's morale would decline before the war even started, and he would have to abandon his armor and collapse thousands of miles later.

As for whether Beijing Film Studio has made a movie version of "Journey to the West", Gu Bei is still vague now. He has indeed never seen it in his memory, but no one can guarantee that it has not been made.

After all, major film studios produce hundreds of movies every year, but only one-third of them are ultimately released.

Maybe Ling Zifeng really filmed it, but it wasn't released in the end, or maybe it was released, and then the master tape was damaged or lost, and people didn't know about it.

These situations are not new and may happen.

But Gu Bei still preferred it, and the plan eventually ran aground.

Because the masterpiece "Camel Xiangzi" directed by Ling Zifeng, if Gu Bei remembers correctly, was released in 1982. If "Journey to the West" had been filmed, the time would not match.

"Director Yang, Director Ling just said that what he wants to film is from the birth of the Stone Monkey to the acquisition of the scripture. A movie can take up to two hours. How can he cover so much content?"

Yang Jie nodded. She was a fan of the authorities just now, but now what Gu Bei said makes sense.

"If Director Ling had only excerpted one of the paragraphs, such as making havoc in the Heavenly Palace, three attacks on white-bone demons, and three adjustments on banana fans, there would be no conflict with us."

"Yes, yes, that's right."

Yang Jie figured this out and immediately threw all her worries behind her.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, it's more important to get down to business."

I came to Beijing Film Studio today because of Wang Xizhong. Even if I really have to compete with Ling Zifeng, that will happen in the future. The most important thing now is to make my own preparations.

To strike iron, you need to be strong yourself.

"mom!"

Before Teacher Wang Xizhong could see him, Gu Bei saw Li Sufen first.

"Xiao Bei?"

When Li Sufen saw Gu Bei, she was startled for a moment, then frowned.

"It's working time now, why are you here?"

As he said that, he looked at Yang Jie aside, who is this little old lady?

"Mom! I came here with Director Yang to do something. By the way, Mom, this is Director Yang Jie. Director Yang, this is my mother."

Yesterday, Gu Bei already mentioned that he was assigned to the preparatory team of "Journey to the West" and also mentioned director Yang Jie.

"Director Yang, hello, hello."

Knowing that Yang Jie was Gu Bei's leader, Li Sufen immediately showed great enthusiasm.

For a son to make a living under someone else's hands, the relationship must be on good terms.

"Xiaobei is in your group and will inevitably cause you trouble in the future. If this child is disobedient, just teach him a lesson."

Yang Jie said a few polite words and then expressed her intention.

"You are here to see Teacher Wang. It just so happens that Teacher Wang and I are in the same group. I will take you there."

With Li Sufen leading the way, Yang Jie met Wang Xizhong smoothly. When she walked into the studio, Gu Bei was immediately attracted by the plaster models that filled the room.

In the previous life, some people said that Wang Xizhong was the number one person in the Chinese film and television industry in stunt modeling, and it was true.

In today's film and television dramas, character modeling is basically done through makeup. Wang Xizhong was the first person to introduce molds into makeup modeling.

Yang Jie told CCTV that Wang Xizhong was preparing to film "Journey to the West" and invited Wang Xizhong to be responsible for the character styling. Upon hearing this, Wang Xizhong immediately became very interested in this task.

At Beijing Film Studio, although Wang Xizhong could often participate in makeup and styling work for some major dramas, many of the techniques he mastered were of no use at all.

Previously, when he heard that his boss wanted to make a movie "Journey to the West", Wang Xizhong was also gearing up, and even went to Ling Zifeng to volunteer. However, they didn't pay attention to him, a local monk, and planned to hire a team from the United States.

Wang Xizhong was greatly disappointed. He never expected that Yang Jie would take the initiative to ask him to come out.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

"Teacher Wang, every character, including monsters, monsters, gods, Buddhas, and little monsters, as long as they are not mortal, needs to be reshaped. This workload is huge, so you must be mentally prepared."

Wang Xizhong smiled, he didn't care about difficulties or anything like that at all.

"Director Yang, who of our generation has experienced hardship? I don't need to prepare anything. I can start working now. If you have any requirements for character modeling, just ask."

Wang Xizhong said this, so Yang Jie was naturally not polite.

"If you ask... the most important thing is that the modeling should also take into account the performance. You are an expert in character modeling. Which character should use a full face and which character should use a half face. You can first come up with a plan. My opinion is that it is best

Use less plastic surgery so as not to affect the performance. Also, the final look must not only have its own characteristics, but also be beautiful. Especially for Monkey King, he must look like a monkey but be beautiful at the same time. After all, he is the Monkey King!"

Wang Xizhong nodded while listening. Yang Jie's request could be summed up in just two words - angry.

Characters should not only be vivid, but also lively.

This "vivid" not only means vivid in appearance, but also vivid in performance.

If you just get a mask and fasten it on your face, it will never work without the actor's mouth moving when he is speaking.

"As for the appearance of the four masters and apprentices, the artist in the station also made a few sketches for your reference."

As Yang Jie spoke, she took out four pieces of paper from her bag. Gu Bei recognized them at a glance as the portraits of the Buddhist group he had drawn.

"Yes! That's right, Director Yang. CCTV is indeed the main station. Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger. This picture is good. It's well drawn. It doesn't stick to the inherent form, and it's not superstitious about authority. Director Yang, who is the master who drew it?"

Yang Jie didn't speak, but turned to look at Gu Bei.

"Is it this young man? Not bad, not bad. It's really good that young people have ideas."

Just after accepting Yang Jie's invitation, Wang Xizhong was already thinking about how to style the four masters and apprentices. Now after looking at these four pictures of Gu Bei, he suddenly had an idea.

"Xiao Bei, was it really you who drew this?"

Li Sufen asked in a low voice.

Gu Bei nodded sheepishly. Li Gui met Li Kui, how could he not be embarrassed?

In the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", almost every character's shape was created by teacher Wang Xizhong. Gu Bei was just a copy of the painting. Who knew that Yang Jie would bring him to see teacher Wang Xizhong.

"sure!"

Li Sufen smiled, this eldest son really showed his face to her.

As the saying goes, in the first twenty years, you should respect your father and your son, and in the next twenty years, you should respect your son and your father. The same goes for mothers.

Listening to Wang Xizhong's praise of Gu Bei, how could Li Sufen be unhappy?

Then, as if Wang Xizhong had met a close friend, he took Gu Bei for a chat. These portraits of Gu Bei really touched his heart.

There is no need to modify it at all, just take it and prepare it for molding.

Now all that needs to be considered is what materials to use and fine-tuning according to the actor's face shape.

After chatting for a long time, Yang Jie saw that the matter was settled and stood up to leave.

It was already time to get off work, so Gu Bei didn't need to go back to Taili. He saw Yang Jie off and went home with Li Sufen.

Wearing a red gauze scarf and big sunglasses, Li Sufen's protective measures were in place, but Gu Bei was still bah bah bah all the way.

There is no way, every time this season comes to Beijing, sand and dust weather will never be absent.

It will take a few more years for the work of wind prevention and sand control to be taken seriously.

Now……

Pooh!

"Xiao Bei, after you start over there, if you have the chance, follow Teacher Wang more often. If you can learn Teacher Wang's unique skills, you won't have to worry about finding a job wherever you go."

Mom, can we talk again when we go home?

You wrapped it up very tightly, I can...

Pooh!

Gu Bei could also understand Li Sufen's thoughts. Parents in the world are all the same. Although they all hope that their children will succeed, how many people can be like dragons and phoenixes?

The vast majority of them are still in oblivion, and it is good to be peaceful and happy.
