"Makuno, I think you, the protagonist, should be a young man around 20 years old, why do you think I'm suitable for such a role?"

"Didn't I watch "People in Embarrassment", and I felt at that time that the Dawei you played was simple, and he could play the protagonist in a relatively simple and primitive state. By the way, when David went home, your eyes changed from confused to firm to full of hope, and that turn was particularly good. ”

"Well, I didn't think I heard the rest of this, so you came to me, to put it bluntly, because I didn't have acting skills. ”

"Uh...... In fact...... Mr. Tian said, let's ask you to act, and I can also ask you to help read the script by the way, and ...... It is possible not to give money. ”

"Hey, that's why I'm still being calculated by that old man, grandson!"

"Brother Zhang, that's our teacher'......"

"What are you going to do?"

"That can't be, we're on one side now. ”

"Hey, this understanding is worthy of being taught by that stinky old man, I'll take it!"

Although Wen Muye found Zhang Bufan to play the leading role, and his script completion is quite high, but this is still far from being able to shoot a movie, even if it is a short film.

Zhang Bufan has also been with three crews, and he is familiar with them, and he only learned from Wen Muye's communication that what he is solving now is the actors, including Zhang Bufan, the leading actor, and the dog, as well as the group performance, in addition, that is, he found a suitable place to shoot the scene in the shantytown.

As for the formation of the crew, it hasn't started at all, after all, it's still a student, and there is no investment or money, so according to Wen Muye's idea, all the staff are looking for it from the school.

For the students of Jingying, such a practical opportunity is actually quite precious, so of course they don't care about any money or not, as long as they have food.

But Zhang Bufan is not very satisfied, it is the first scene in which the buddy is the protagonist, and it is all filmed by a group of people who are still amateurs, which is a bit too much.

In the end, it was he who made the decision, and he said this to Wen Muye.

In this way, the crew is formed by me, don't say anything is free, I invested 300,000 yuan for the filming of this movie, I am not only the starring, but also the producer and producer!

Wen Muye was a little stunned, but I just wanted to shoot one, which is a graduation or graduate school work, when it comes to investment and money, this weight seems to be a little too heavy.

Moreover, he actually knows that in his script, the time period of the first thing filmed will not last more than half an hour, and the pure literary film route will not make money if it is really filmed, doesn't this mean that Zhang Bufan's money will be wasted?

Let's just dedicate myself to art.

Zhang Bufan said, in fact, I have already pondered in my heart, it is definitely impossible for the movie to be released in theaters, but you can go online to broadcast it, maybe you can get some money back, well, you can also find Guan Hu, Ning Hao, by the way, and Wang Quanan, see if they have any overseas outlets, domestic literary films, there are still some markets abroad, especially this is under the banner of the new generation of Chinese directors, and he, the winner of the Berlin Silver Bear, maybe there will be money?

Of course, what about the real reason......

"This story is really good, if I can't transform, I want to play that dog!"

At that time, Tian Xiangxiang was laughing on the other end of the phone, since he thought that Zhang Bufan was good and loved talents, he had actually been observing this kid, and after such a period of time, he could be regarded as having found something, he knew that if he really had a good book in front of Zhang Bufan, he would definitely not be able to resist the temptation.

So, this matter was settled, Zhang Bufan invested 300,000 yuan to build the crew, but he only served as the producer, and the producer was replaced, and Tian Xiangxiang was responsible for it.

Zhang Bufan is still a little unfamiliar with the formation of the crew, but it is not a big problem, I first asked Guan Hu and Ning Hao for advice, and the two of them were shocked when they heard his intention, they were still working on the script two days ago, why did they suddenly want to form a crew?

Then I found out that I was filming a work for a student of the directing department, because I was invited to be the protagonist, and I didn't want to be too foolish, so I did it, and I was ridiculed by the two of them.

But it's okay, it's the real thing after the ridicule.

From "Reunion" to "People in Embarrassment", Zhang Bufan has left the contact information of the crew's staff, although they are not often contacted, they are still maintained, and what is lacking is only experience in this area.

"After returning from learning" from the two, the next step, of course, is to find someone to build a group.

The total investment is 300,000 yuan, and the shooting equipment and other actors are all from Beijing Film, so there is no need to spend money, mainly in the cost of the staff, but it is actually not much, and those big names can't afford it, so they can only take those with high cost performance.

One phone call after another, one after another came to the capital, and it took a month before and after, and the crew was finally built.

And Wen Muye's side was not idle, he was in charge of casting.

Even if it's just a play of less than 30 minutes, and the main scene is on Zhang Bufan and the dog, there are still some important actors with lines, which are directly digested within Beijing Film, and if you want to find actors, except for a few film and television cities, that is the major art schools.

Zhang Bufan's crew has not been fully built yet, and Wen Muye called here, and everyone has been selected, not only the students of Jingying, but also the teachers, no way, the story involves the place where the male protagonist works, and there are leadership scenes, so you can't let young people play it.

Zhang Bufan originally wanted Tian Xiangxiang to act, but Tian Xiangxiang refused without hesitation, and if he wanted to play this role, his special artistic beard would be gone.

As for the framing, Wen Muye has already chosen, as the main scene of the shantytown outdoor area, is a village on the outskirts of the capital, this year, the rooms in the capital began to skyrocket, everywhere is being demolished to build new buildings, this village is the same, Wen Muye has already inquired with people, at most a month, here will be demolished.

So Wen Muye went to find it, discussed it with the residents there, paid some price, and changed a few of their houses for filming.

It's very interesting to say, his price is not only money, but also letting those people appear as a group performer, I have to say that no matter what class of people are, they actually have a "movie dream" in their bones.

In this way, in the case that Tian Zhuangzhi didn't really help, a wild road with no education at all, plus a student who hadn't left school yet, made a crew.
