Chapter 6: Casting for Actors
"Brother Chu, doesn't this apprentice of Hattori Hanzo have a name?"
"Nope. Chu Shun shook his head and said, "But one thing is certain, if you want to play an island country, you have to speak and act bigger." ”
Chu Shun looked at the dog's puzzled gaze and explained: "The line teacher should have said that the performance should not be superficial, but the surface of this role is to perform our stereotypical image of the island people, speaking loudly, startled, and the expression is a little exaggerated. ”
"I see. The dog head nodded, understanding that this was roughly the opposite of the legend!
"Go out and inform the next. Chu Shun scored the actors who auditioned before.
The doghead left and closed the door to the parlor.
The parlor was large, and there was only one person for the audition review, so it seemed empty.
Some people may want to ask, of course no one asks, but also explain why there are three or four other movie audition judges, and why Chu Shun is the only one who killed Bill's crew.
The reason is very simple, in addition to the director and producer, other crews will participate in the casting, and Director Chu is also the producer, and this drama also has a martial arts command and a post-production soundtrack.
As for the casting director, Brother Chui has already joined the group, but the casting director belongs to the assistant director, and his responsibility is to recruit group actors, small roles or special actors, and the selection of the main role is not within the scope of responsibility.
"Is this the casting of the great director Yiyantang? It's really cool!" Chu Shun ate ginseng fruit.
Although the big director will also have a producer in casting, but because of his high prestige and previous achievements, he basically has the final say, Xing Ye can let the heroine of the movie with a cost of 300 million choose a graphic model who has never acted, and Lao Mouzi can also make a decision to choose a new student in the midst of great expectations, this is the willfulness of a big director.
Chu Shun hadn't enjoyed it, but now he tasted the candy.
"It smells so good!"
said that he will definitely work harder to create (ban) work, and go further and further on the road of not forcing face.
There is a misunderstanding in this, it is not that you can be capricious if you are rich, for example, if you are a rookie director, you want to praise newcomers, and then invite first-line or old actors to play, then the director's wrist must be big enough to be suppressed.
"What is this called, I have a brother and you don't, this is the reason for being willful. Chu Shun said in his heart: "Is it not, Brother System." ”
It means a daily flirtat.
Chu Shun thought about it, and after a while, the door of the living room was opened, and Rui Ying walked in.
Rui Ying has a fleshy face, long hair, and a cute look, Chu Shun judged in his heart that at least her appearance is in line.
"Hello director, I'm Rui Ying, a freshman, and I've starred in some short videos, hoping to get a gogo role. Rui Ying introduced herself a little nervously.
"There's a line on the table, and you have five minutes to prepare. Chu Shun said, he noticed that the sister paper who auditioned before called him senior, or the strange title of junior director, only this one called him director.
Rui Ying looked at this line, it was indeed very short but indescribable: [You call this a request? You should be able to beg for better.] ]
Other than that, there was no antecedent, Rui Ying hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Does the director have any other information to remind?"
This is the first test center set up by Chu Shun, the auditioner asks, he will answer, of course, if you don't ask, naturally there will be no, and several people in the front interview mirror have asked.
"You're playing as a bodyguard who wants to kill your boss and she begs you to leave. Chu Shun replied.
"Thank you, Director. Rui Ying thanked her and pondered on the spot.
After about three or four minutes, she made up a relatively complete story in her heart, and Rui Ying looked up and said that she could.
"You call this a request?" Rui Ying also knew that she was baby fat, so in order to show her killer qualities, she gritted her teeth and glared, and shouted: "You should be able to beg for better!"
In fact, baby fat looks at the appearance, if it looks good, it is baby fat, and if it is not good-looking, it is because the face is big.
"Good. Chu Shun nodded: "One false, two false and three embarrassing, the three elements of Xiao Xianrou's acting skills are alive." ”
"Uh......" Originally, when she heard the director say that it was very good, Rui Ying was still happy in her heart, but the later evaluation was that the cliff fell sharply.
"Director, please give me another chance, I was too nervous just now. Rui Ying hurriedly said.
"You read the lines again in the same tone you normally use to speak to your friends. Chu Shun said.
Rui Ying, although she didn't know why, still read it according to what the director said, "You call this a request, you should be able to beg for better", and she usually speaks with a little playfulness.
"Do you know Japanese?" Chu Shun asked after nodding.
"I can learn. Rui Ying replied immediately.
"The filming period is two weeks, and I need to go to the island country, is there a problem?" Chu Shun asked.
"No problem, I can ask for leave from school. Rui Ying nodded like a chicken pecking rice, afraid that the role would be lost, and quickly added: "I am very talented in languages, I can speak Sichuan, Cantonese and Mandarin, and I will soon be able to learn Japanese." ”
This school girl is very happy to speak, according to this logic, the original body is also a mixed blood, and the demon capital is mixed with fog, and it is quite far away.
"Have you signed a contract with a brokerage company?" asked Chu Shun.
Rui Ying wants to have: "No." ”
"The salary is 12,000, and if there is no problem, I will sign a contract with the legal counsel of the crew. "Chu Shun knew the connoisseur through his original body, and the salary for acting in some small roles after graduation from Beiying was only about eight or nine thousand, not to mention that Rui Ying was still a freshman, considering that the shooting cycle took nearly half a month, so the price was very suitable.
"Thank you to the director for the opportunity, I will definitely live up to the director's expectations. "Rui Ying is loyal.
"I didn't expect it. Chu Shun said: "I will choose you, just because of your suitable appearance and insistent attitude, as for your acting skills...... The embarrassment was still swirling in my head. ”
"Uh......" Rui Ying said.
"I'm not saying this to hit you, I just don't want you to have a wrong assessment of your acting skills and affect the shooting, so it's normal to have no acting skills in your freshman year. Chu Shun said.
"Thank you, Director. "Before Rui Ying came, I asked people, and the summary is that it is for the rich second generation, but there is no rich second generation shelf, and the temper is not bad, but the ability is not big, whether it is a short film, it is never clear, and it is necessary to shoot a long film.
But after the audition, Rui Ying felt that this senior brother was very powerful, at least he spoke to the point, like a teacher.
"Remember to close the door and ask the assistant director to tell the other people waiting for the audition that the gogo audition is over. Chu Shun said.
Rui Ying left the living room, felt the big stone pressing on her body fall to the ground, her eyes rolled, and then she wandered around the corridor, and saw the middle-aged man with the assistant director's work card, and repeated Chu Shun's words.
"Okay, go straight over and push the door in the room with the note [Kill Bill] on it. "The assistant director showed the way first.
There are more than a dozen people who came to audition today, Rui Ying is the seventh, and there are still a few people waiting, and when the assistant director came to inform the end of the audition, there was a lot of complaints.
Of course, he didn't move his mouth in person, and he all entered the elevator before he talked about it.
"It's in vain, it's a waste of time. ”
"The previous No. 7 directly got the role? It's a PY transaction, otherwise why wouldn't anyone choose it directly after reading it. ”
"It's normal for a big director to be selected directly when he meets a suitable one in order to save time, because we are auditions in a fundamental sense, not an audition invitation, but that's a big director, why is Chu Shun a street director?"
"What if the new film is worse than six? Maybe we'll get away with it. ”
In the continuous recruitment of actors, it is also necessary to recruit foreign actors.
There are a lot of foreign students in Beiying, there is a special international exchange center, of course, some of the foreign students are Chinese, but Chinese immigrants to foreign nationality study in China, is it strange?
"Hello director, I am a senior Czech student in Beiying University, and my Chinese name is Zhang Tang, Tang of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. ”
Most Caucasian people look older than their actual age, just like this Zhang Tang is blonde and blue-eyed, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, and she looks like a royal sister about thirty years old, but she is actually only a senior student.
