Chapter 903 "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" project casting, I and Aijia

The banquet is on the twelfth floor of the company.

The entire floor of this floor is managed by the catering department of the logistics department. There are high-end canteens and restaurants of various companies, dedicated to senior management services.

In particular, there is a large restaurant for receiving VIPs and holding banquets, which can accommodate more than 1000 people.

After all, in addition to Xiahua's executives and celebrities, there are also those high-tech talents, all of which need to provide more advanced supporting services.

In addition to this, there are four other floors of food service with various other levels and different staff.

Zhou Xia didn't stay with Xiahua Film and Television for long, so he went with Zhao Xueyin to socialize with the leaders who came to the banquet, as well as the executives of various companies.

Two and a half hours later, the banquet was over.

Zhou Xia took it away because the wine was always on his mouth, and nothing happened to the drunk person unconscious.

After going up to the office, he went to the front office to look at the documents after a simple wash and change in the back bedroom.

Among the several film projects that the company will launch, Zhou Xia pays the most attention to the big ip "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

First of all, this original name cannot be used as the title of the movie, which brings many problems to movie promotion and project approval.

So the current strategy is to use the names of each of the eight parts of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", such as: Jingjue Ancient City, Yunnan Chonggu, Longling Miku, Nuqing Xiangjiang, etc.

This is a last resort method, and it is more suitable than random dragon-hunting tactics or nine-story demon towers.

In addition, the biggest problem is to give scientific and materialistic explanations to some strange things encountered in the tomb robbery adventure.

Some monsters and gods and demons that really cannot be changed into reasonable ones can only be deleted.

Big rice dumplings, zombies, ghosts, etc. are impossible to pass the review.

Even in the underworld in Zhou Xia's "Fairy Sword", the ghosts of relatives encountered are finally replaced by relatives transformed from ghosts.

No specific explanation was given, and everyone who understood understood it.

The first part of "Zhu Xian" filmed this time, the undead creatures in Necromancer also continued the explanation of ghosts.

However, a detailed explanation was given. It is a monster that can be transformed based on the human spirit.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there is no way to allow spirits to become spirits and ghosts to exist.

Especially when it comes to film censorship, because there is no grading system, it will mislead children to think that ghosts exist and deny materialism.

And it may also be used by some selfish guys to satirize reality.

After all, whether Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji" or Pu Songling's "Liao Zhai", they all do this.

The General Administration has always been one-size-fits-all in this regard, and there is no room for maneuver.

That's why many horror movies in China can't be played well. In the end, what is pulled out is all people's mischief, and it's all some kind of illusion.

This left many horror movie fans speechless and embarrassed.

Now that Xiahua Film and Television is going to participate in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" project, it is natural that they want to satisfy movie fans and book fans within the allowable range.

Fortunately, most of the time, the author of the original work, Tianxia Bachang, gave some kind of scientific or reasonable explanation for those originally supernatural things, ghosts, etc.

In this regard, Xia Hua Film and Television's screenwriter team has saved a lot of effort, and Tian Xia Ba Sing himself is also one of the main screenwriters of the film.

The copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is now in the hands of Xia Hua Film and Television, and it will be made into a series of high-quality movies.

Therefore, in addition to project review and script adaptation, the choice of actors is also very important.

After all, like "Zhu Xian", it will be eight films, and it is very inappropriate to change actors in the middle, so the protagonists must be selected.

Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Shirley Yang are the key points, and the other important supporting roles, Da Jinya, Ming Shu Lei Xianming, Chen Blind Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, etc. must also be selected well.

Therefore, the producers in charge of the project are preset relevant actors who are invited to audition.

Hu Bayi's first choice naturally wanted Zhou Xia to act, followed by the company's Kai Kai Wang, Lao Hu, and Dou Xiao.

As for Fatty Wang, Huang Bo's first choice was followed by Chen Chichi.

Shirley Yang's first choice is Yaya, then Erdi, Mina, and finally Yufei and Xiaoai.

Obviously, regarding the role of Shirley Yang, the people who created the project felt that it was best to choose a mixed-race actor according to the original work.

But the mixed-race actress Xia Hua didn't have a suitable one, so Xin Jiang Sanmei was more suitable.

They are also first-line actresses with box office appeal in the company.

Zhou Xia saw that there was basically nothing wrong with these casting ideas, and continued to read some adaptations of the original work he mentioned.

At this time, the secretary of the office outside the door came in to report, and Xiaohu came over.

Zhou Xia had no choice but to put down the document and ask her to come in. Who would let her be a person with 'status' now.

Participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony today, Xiaohu was wearing a large blue and white porcelain cloak, which not only concealed her slightly protruding belly.

The cloak only covered ten centimeters below the buttocks, exposing the beautiful long white legs, which also diverted the attention of the media and outsiders.

"Aren't you visiting the company with Sisi and the others? Why do you come up alone?"

Zhou Xia welcomed Xiaohu to the reception room and sat down, and asked a little strangely.

The stars who participated in the group ribbon-cutting ceremony today were basically ignored, they were just embellishments and stood behind.

In addition to Zhou Xia, Zhao Xueyin, and district leaders, the ribbon-cutting was the presidents of several high-tech companies.

After the banquet just now, Xiaohu, Sisi, and Meina all went to visit the new Xiahua Film and Television.

"Why, you don't welcome me alone?" Xiaohu pouted dissatisfiedly.

"No way, I wonder how you get rid of others." Zhou Xia laughed.

"I don't need to shake you off. At the banquet just now, you kept saying that you had something to do in the afternoon, and you didn't drink much. No one of them dared to disturb you, so I came alone."

"Yes, I'm very busy. Go back and rest after you have something to say."

"I heard that the company will arrange for "Dear" and "Fireworks in the Day" to be released within two months. Is it true?"

"You will know so soon." Zhou Xia looked at Xiaohu strangely. This was something he had only told Zhang Zhao before eating.

"What kind of secret is this? It will be released soon. The company has just announced that it will launch a promotion. I am the heroine of "Fireworks in the Day". How could I not know?"

"Oh, then you want to ask why you made an excuse not to participate in the publicity?" Zhou Xia understood the reason for Xiaohu's visit.

"That's right, there's also Yaya, she gave birth on New Year's Day." Xiaohu said angrily.

"Fireworks in the Day" was released, and in this situation, Xiaohu must not be able to participate in the promotion.

But she is the heroine, which is a bit unreasonable. Any reason will cause media speculation and excavation.

As for Yaya, it's the same reason. She is the heroine of "Dear", and she has a more important role in the role. She has to find a suitable reason for her absence from the promotion.

"Just say you're sick, what's the problem?"

"Hehe, can you find a better reason for lying? What disease is so serious? What will you do next?"

"My excuse is not good? I got appendicitis, cut it, and I can't move the wound. What will happen?" Zhou Xia couldn't help laughing.

"Cut it off, hehe, I should cut you off the most!"

Xiaohu was so stunned that he couldn't refute, but when he heard the word 'cut', he felt resentment towards Zhou Xia.

It's not like she hasn't never had such thoughts about someone's romantic nature.

"Okay, if it's okay, you can step back, I still have important matters to deal with." Zhou Xia didn't bother to talk to Xiaohu anymore, and waved his hand directly.

"Zhen? Hehe, then let the Ai family see how your majesty's palace is being built?"

Xiaohu stood up with a sneer and walked inside.

"Aijia? I'll go, little fox, how dare you curse me for a short life!"

Zhou Xia suddenly became unhappy. Aijia is the name of the queen whose husband died in operas and film and television dramas.

"You asked for it yourself. Isn't I a widow? If you curse me, I will curse you too." Xiaohu forcefully explained.

"Hehe, you're smart, seeing that you're not fighting alone now, I don't bother to argue with you."

Being widowed naturally means being lonely, and Xiaohu's counterattack is barely justified.
