Chapter 861 New challenges and breakthroughs
"Director Lin, Chen Yifan has confirmed that he has a free period."
"He was also very interested in the role."
Lin Gao nodded slightly when he heard this.
He has already been deeply impressed by Chen Yifan's acting ability.
But this time, what he wanted to confirm was not only Chen Yifan's schedule and interest, but more importantly, whether the actor could truly interpret the connotation of the character he envisioned.
“Let’s arrange a meeting.”
Lin Gao said.
"I want to talk to him in person to see how he understands and feels."
Wei nodded quickly and started to arrange the time.
While waiting for the meeting, Lin Gao was not idle.
He continues to detail the new character’s backstory.
"The growth of this character must be in sharp contrast to the Supreme Treasure."
"Their choices are different and their destinies are also different."
"But it is precisely because of this that the fate of the two is intertwined."
He picked up a pen and wrote several new plot clues in the blank spaces of the script.
These clues not only make the story more compact, but also pave the way for the introduction of new characters.
A few hours later, Chen Yifan came to Lin Gao's office as scheduled.
He was dressed in casual clothes and looked calm, seeming to be fully prepared for this meeting.
"Director Lin, I have admired your name for a long time. It is a great honor to finally have the opportunity to communicate with you face to face today."
Chen Yifan said politely, with a faint smile on his face.
Lin Gao nodded and motioned for him to sit down.
After the two exchanged a few words, Lin Gao got straight to the point.
"As you should already know, I want you to play a new character in the sequel to Westward Journey."
"This character is not just a supporting role, but one of the emotional cores of the entire movie."
Chen Yifan nodded slightly with a serious expression.
"Yes, I have read the first draft of the script."
"I'm very interested in the complexity of this character."
"He has both inner struggle and resistance to fate. Such a role is very challenging."
Lin Gao nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say."
"This character must not only carry emotional complexity, but also let the Supreme Treasure see the deepest fears in his heart through his existence."
"The interaction between them is both confrontation and illumination."
Chen Yifan pondered for a moment, then said: "I understand, to a certain extent, this character is like another aspect of the Supreme Treasure."
"His choice contrasts with that of the Supreme Treasure, but both are trapped in their respective fates and cannot escape easily."
Lin Gao's eyes flashed with appreciation.
Chen Yifan's understanding of the character coincides with his.
“Very good.”
"Your understanding is very accurate."
"I hope you can express this emotion through a delicate performance."
"This character does not require too much external performance, but allows the audience to feel his pain and struggle through inner changes."
Chen Yifan nodded, showing a determined expression.
"I will try my best to interpret this role."
The two went on to discuss the details of the character, including his transformation, rivalry with the Supreme Treasure and ultimate fate.
Lin Gao was very satisfied with this exchange.
He knew that Chen Yifan had fully understood the essence of this character, and he only needed to enter the shooting stage to present it perfectly.
After seeing Chen Yifan off, Lin Gao returned to the table.
He felt extremely relaxed. An important role has finally found the right actor, which makes him more confident that the sequel can be completed.
Wei Lianlian walked in again, holding several new documents in his hand.
"Director Lin, next we have to start preparing for some location shooting."
“There are still some scenes that need to be built in advance.”
"Do you think we should arrange a location scouting team first?"
Lin Gao nodded.
"The location scouting is very important."
“Especially the scenes where new characters appear, they must have enough visual impact.”
"We can choose some places with unique landforms, preferably to give the audience a feeling that they are not part of reality."
Wei Lianlian quickly wrote down Lin Gao's request, and then asked: "We also need to arrange some prop designs related to the characters."
"The props and costumes of this new character need to highlight his special identity."
Lin Gao thought for a moment and then said: "The prop design for this character must be simple, but it must have symbolic meaning."
"His weapons, clothing and even accessories must convey his inner world."
"Especially in the showdown with the Supreme Treasure, these details will become an important part of the emotional expression."
Wei nodded repeatedly to express his understanding.
She knew that Lin Gao was strict about every detail, but it was precisely because of this that his movies were so successful.
A few days later, the location scouting team sent back photos of several shooting locations.
Lin Gao looked at each photo carefully.
One of them, a remote desert scene, caught his attention.
In the vast expanse of yellow sand, an isolated mountain peak stands in the sky.
Under the sun, the desert landscape looks mysterious and lonely.
“This place is very nice.”
Lin Gao pointed to the solitary peak and said.
"The appearance of new characters can be placed here."
"This feeling of isolation fits his destiny perfectly. It not only symbolizes his loneliness, but also implies his separation from the world."
Wei Lianlian immediately stated that he would arrange further on-site exploration.
As preparations for filming gradually began, Lin Gao's confidence in the film became stronger and stronger.
Every detail was developing in the direction he expected.
In the evening, Lin Gao stayed alone in the office and continued to perfect the last details of the script.
He hopes that this sequel will not only continue the glory of the first part, but also bring deeper thinking to the audience.
The story of Supreme Treasure has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, but he believes that this new character will bring new impact to the entire movie.
"The growth of Supreme Treasure will not stop."
"And this new role will be the key to pushing him to a higher level."
Lin Gao was thinking while quickly recording new inspirations in his notebook.
He knows that the world of movies is infinitely vast, and only through constant exploration can we create unforgettable classics.
As the night got darker, Lin Gao put down his pen.
He knows that the real challenges lie in the filming and post-production stages.
But at this moment, he was full of confidence and expectation.
This film is not only his work, but also an emotional bridge between him and the audience.
"We will do our best."
Lin Gao said softly, his eyes filled with determination.
Soon after, the filming of the movie officially started, and Lin Gao knew that every next step would be critical.
Lin Gao remained highly focused during the filming of the movie.
He knew that the sequel must not only continue the success of the previous film, but also break new ground.
