Chapter 11: No Foreplay (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
The three key characters in "Soul Ferry", the first one is naturally Xia Dongqing, he was originally a college student preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so Lin Chen is ready to directly find a person with good acting skills in the acting department!
As for Zhao Yan, the soul ferryman, he needs to be a little more mature, so if he can't do it, find a trick to try!
Wang Xiaoya naturally handed it over to Tong Qing to play!
Except for the three of them, most of the remaining characters appear in one episode, and at most, Mulan occasionally comes out!
Therefore, Lin Chen's plan is very simple, let's find the characters in the first three episodes first!
The main characters in the first episode of "No. 444 Convenience Store" are Wang Xiaoya, Wang Xiaoya's mother, Doudou, Doudou's mother, Xia Dongqing, Zhao Yan, as for the clerk, let Kong Hai play it!
The second episode of "Ghost Detective" has a little more characters, and this episode is actually mainly about Xiaolong, who was an undercover agent, was killed by the boss of the Black Society, and then he was still thinking about the task so he asked Xia Dongqing for help, and at the same time, what is more touching in the play is that Xiaolong and his parents confessed through Holly's words.
Although the third episode of "Lust and Caution" has some bed scenes, it is also relatively reflective!
After writing out all the simple characters, Lin Chen is ready to start the audition!
At the same time, it's time to play his Lin style!
When you don't have enough money to invite actors, then rely on dreams!
This is the skill that Lin Chen practiced when he was a little director in his previous life!
There's no way, there is little money and no resources, what else can you talk about when you want to recruit actors besides talking about your dreams?
Therefore, on the forum, Lin Chen posted a more chicken-soup actor recruitment formββββββββ
Have you had no way to audition?
Do you also fantasize about being successful with a role?
Are you good at acting, but no one trusts you because you're a newcomer?
So congratulations, here's your chance!
"Soul Ferry" is an interview for younger students!
......
If you want to do an interview because you want to make money, then don't come!
This is a low-cost TV series that can't even afford to pay!
But if you're looking for a chance, a chance to prove yourself!
Well, the doors are open to you!
......
This recruitment letter to Lin Chen is also well versed in the routine of capitalists, talking about dreams, not money!
Obviously, this recruitment made the forum of Jinghua Film Academy fry again!
""Soul Ferry"??TV series??Is this Senior Lin Chen himself as a director?"
"Oh my God, it's so unexpected, Senior Lin Chen really cheered up!"
"Upstairs, do you think Senior Lin Chen is cheering up or being hit?"
"The screenwriter is the director, and it seems that Senior Lin Chen can't afford to pay for it, is it to let everyone act in friendship?"
"Hmph, friendship will be friendship, anyway, we don't have any other scenes to film, I'm willing to try!"
......
The forum discussion is not endless, if other people post something about recruiting actors and not paying, maybe everyone will DISS over, but this is their most beloved senior Lin Chen, and it is also Senior Lin Chen, who just suffered a blow and broke up a week ago!
Must support!
Lin Chen actually underestimated the popularity and appeal of the original owner in Jinghua Film Academy!
Originally, according to Lin Chen's meaning, after all, it was one of the three universities in Huaxia, even if he sprinkled dog blood on the forum, it is estimated that there will not be too many people who come to audition, and he can just choose the actors in the first three episodes!
Outcome......
"What a surprise!"
Lin Chen looked at the long queue and was really a little surprised: "This everyone is really too polite!"
Not only that, but there are three beautiful girls who spontaneously maintain order!
So Lin Chen decided to change his plan, since everyone is so popular today, then all the actors will be set!
Those who can be admitted to the acting department all have two brushes, and after a simple try, everyone's acting skills are online, so Lin Chen has set several roles in turn.
"It's your part!"
Lin Chen said to a tall and handsome person: "Take a look at it yourself in the past two days, and I'll shoot you first after turning on the camera!"
"Thank you, Senior Lin Chen, I will definitely work hard!"
Wang Qing said with a smile on his face, what he was holding in his hand was the character of Xiaolong in "Ghost Detective"!
As for the unimportant roles in this episode, they are all given to other students!
In addition, Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue's colleagues in "Lust and Caution", and the women who discussed at the beginning were all decided in turn!
Qingqing and his boyfriend Su Yue Linchen in "Ghost Goes to Bed" were given to a couple, anyway, there is a bed scene, and it is not awkward for the two to shoot!
Because there is no need for any big auditions, after all, they are all the protagonists of a unit drama, so the role is decided quite quickly!
"Senior Lin Chen, hello, my name is Yan Feng, and I am a student of the third-year acting department!"
In the morning interview, Lin Chen did not choose the role of the protagonist Xia Dongqing, and he saw Yan Feng in front of him just after the interview this afternoon, which made Lin Chen's eyes shine!
The role of Xia Dongqing does not need to be handsome, but it must have a sense of intimacy, simply put, it must be popular!
"You try a show!"
Lin Chen looked at Yan Feng and said: "If your eyes can see ghosts, and at this time there is suddenly a ghost next to me, but this ghost can only be seen by you, I can't see it, how should you show it, and you have to continue to talk to me!"
Almost as soon as Lin Chen's words fell, Yan Feng's eyes shrank suddenly, and he looked at the empty corner next to Lin Chen, his expression was a little surprised but not too obvious!
"What are you looking at?"
Looking at Yan Feng, Lin Chen suddenly asked.
"It's fine!"
Yan Feng's expression seemed to ease, he looked at Lin Chen again and said, "Just now, Senior Lin Chen, what did you say?"
"Not bad!"
With Yan Feng's sudden glance just now, Lin Chen also thought it was very good, he took out a copy of the script and said: "Congratulations, you are the protagonist of our "Soul Ferry"!"
"Thank you, thank you, Senior Lin Chen!"
Yan Feng showed an excited look on his face: "I will definitely work hard to act, and I will definitely live up to your trust!"
"Okay, but you should know the crew. β
Lin Chen looked at Yan Feng, and before he could speak, Yan Feng had already said: "Senior Lin Chen, I don't need a salary, I don't lack money, I just need a chance!"
"Okay, let's sign the contract next Friday!"
Looking at Yan Feng, Lin Chen said with a smile: "You made the right choice!"
Two days later, Zhao Yan's character Lin Chen was also found, and it was Zhao Ze from the senior acting department!
In this way, the three leading actors of "Soul Ferry" are all in place!
For these Jinghua performance students who don't worry about eating and drinking and have dreams, Lin Chen can sprinkle chicken soup for the soul to capture them!
But for some ensembles, it's not possible!
On the one hand, they are for their dreams, but on the other hand, they are also for survival!
But fortunately, the roles are not heavy, so most of them are one-day to two-day scenes, and the actors are also of an abnormal level!
According to the current hierarchical distribution, the next is extras, group special actors, martial arts, group actors, special actors, and then role actors, supporting roles, protagonists, star actors, and celebrities!
Lin Chen felt that he could just find extras for these roles!
Most of the extras actually have acting skills!
After everything was formed, Lin Chen also set up a temporary studio online to facilitate follow-up operations!
Originally, he wanted to open it with Tong Qing, after all, Tong Qing helped him so much, but Tong Qing refused: "It's taboo to start a company in partnership, let's be simpler, and the way of speaking is simpler!"
Lin Chen didn't force this!
In the future, he will definitely be bigger, thicker, and stronger, and when he comes, Tong Qing will find a way to become popular!
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, thanks to the blessing of the efficiency of this time and space, Lin Chen's studio has also been established, the name is very good-sounding, easy to remember, and it is high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade when you hear it!
It's called: Starcastle Studios!
"It's rubbish!"
Xiao Ming looked at the registered business license and the company's chapter and said with a disgusted expression: "Lao Lin, why do you remember this name?
Lin Chen asked seriously, "Don't you think this name is very easy to remember?"
"Yes, I didn't know and thought it was a fast food restaurant!"
Xiao Ming spread his hands: "Lao Lin, I'm embarrassed to say this name when I go out!"
"I already had a role in mind for you. β
Before Lin Chen finished speaking at this time, over there, the fat man suddenly shouted: "Damn, Lao Lin, you are too wise and martial, this 'Star Castle Studio' is going to be popular when I hear it, I like this name too much!"
β......β
Lin Chen looked at the fat man's exaggerated appearance, so tired!
Isn't it good to keep it simple?
Do you really think you're an actor?
On Friday, many actors signed contracts in turn!
Regardless of whether there is a salary or no salary, according to the rules, the contract is signed, when to shoot, when to end, a total of several scenes!
No rules, no circle!
If such a small crew can't play, how can he Lin Chen improve in the future?
At the same time, Lin Chen also made a call to Tong Qing: "Yes, that's right, on July 7th, our school's 'non-closing convenience store' at the north gate of my school will be opened!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen also began to make the whole crew work!
The 'No Closing Convenience Store' sign was taken off and replaced with 'Convenience Store No. 444'!
Other departments also came to observe the most suitable arrangement!
In the blink of an eye, it's time!
2014, July 7th, Xiaoxiao!
Today is a good hot child, from today the weather has officially entered a state of small heat, countless things are happening all over the country every day, and this day "Soul Ferry" will also be launched!
The north gate of Jinghua Film Academy, the entrance of the 'non-closing convenience store'!
There are no boot ceremonies, no worship ceremonies, no foreplay!
As Lin Chen's first play in this time and space, it opened dryly...... It's time!
