Funding is in place.

Next is the question of crew preparation.

The preparation of the crew is a meticulous and complex process, and the preparation process is also closely related to the director, the lens language, the inspection of the studio and other departments to determine the lighting set and even props and other issues Luo Yuan must consider in advance, otherwise it is easy to have problems during the shooting, but fortunately, with the help of Ai Xiaoai and Xia Ran, it will not be in a hurry.

Of course.

The most important thing is that the scale of this drama is small, the cost is low, and the youth theme does not need special effects and the like, if it is a multi-million investment project, it is definitely far from enough to rely on the strength of the three of them.

To this end, the trio set up a temporary studio.

The studio is called "Crimson", and when read together, it is "Crimson Studio", which is feminine, and Ai Xiao Aili decided on the name after public opinion.

Soon.

Photography, sets, lighting, makeup, costumes, art direction, etc. have signed contracts with Crimson Studio, during which Luo Yuan and photographers and other relevant personnel went to several major places to shoot the scene, and then completed a simple storyboard script -

The scenes of this drama are relatively simple.

Because most of the plots take place on campus, it is not complicated, and the three of them completed the preliminary preparations of the crew in half a month, until this stage is completed, Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai are still a little unbelievable.

"You've changed!"

Xia Ran seemed to know Luo Yuan for the first time.

Ai Xiaoai on the side nodded seriously, she had never agreed with Xia Ran's point of view as much as today, in the preliminary preparation process of the crew, Luo Yuan's ability and experience showed simply refreshed the cognition of the two.

"It's you guys who keep underestimating me. ”

Luo Yuan knew what Xia Ran meant, and the crew's preliminary preparations could be completed so efficiently, all supported by Luo Yuan's rich experience in his previous life.

"Luo Dao is deeply hidden!"

"It's because we used to look down on people!"

The two sang and harmonized, and the gag touting made Luo Yuan feel cold, and he changed the topic and said, "Have you found the actors?"

Xia Ran raised his hand: "It's done!"

Luo Yuan was suspicious: "Is the person you are looking for reliable?"

Although "Together Through the Window" is a campus youth drama, each character in the plot has a distinct personality, and there are as many as nine main actors, five men and four women, these nine actors need to show enough acting skills, otherwise the audience will play in minutes.

"Of course I'm looking for someone is fine. ”

Xia Ran looked confident: "These people are basically my classmates, and they usually have good grades in acting classes, why don't I take them to meet you tonight?"

Luo Yuan nodded.

It's good to get to know each other in advance.

That night, he met Xia Ran's group of classmates, a total of more than a dozen people, all of them were very young faces, after learning that Luo Yuan was Xia Ran's sworn friend, this group of people behaved politely, and it could be seen that Xia Ran's status in their hearts was not low-

After all, this product is a rich second generation.

Dinner began in this seemingly pleasant atmosphere, during which everyone introduced themselves, which gave Luo Yuan a preliminary impression:

"My name is He Mingxuan. ”

A boy with bangs said.

Then a beautiful girl with long hair stood up: "My name is Wu Xuan, I just graduated this year, I don't have much filming experience, I will need more advice in the future." ”

Luo Yuan smiled and made an OK gesture.

"My name is Zhang Xingchen, I love fitness, I have performed in dramas in school, I heard that there is a role in this drama that requires sports expertise, I think I can do it. ”

It was a 1.8-meter-old young man who spoke.

Luo Yuan glanced at the other party, and found that the other party really had a bit of the meaning of Xiao Haiyang in "Together Through the Window", and nodded.

"Audition tomorrow. ”

After a few minutes, the self-introduction ended.

This group of people are all classmates, just graduated this year, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, so soon the dinner table will be lively, chatting with each other enthusiastically, for example, someone will say in a slightly sour tone that a certain classmate in the next class took over the play directed by xx and played a supporting role......

Luo Yuan didn't speak much.

He was secretly observing the personalities of this group of people, considering what kind of roles they were suitable for, and the audition had actually begun from this moment.

The next day.

Luo Yuan asked this group of people to take turns to try out the play.

According to the proportion of the role, the first to audition is Zhang Xingchen, and the role that the other party wants to audition for is Xiao Haiyang, Xiao Haiyang is one of the three roommates of the actor Lu Qiaochuan in "Together Through the Window".

is equivalent to the second male in this drama.

Because of the limited conditions, the audition process is very simple, as long as the actor reads the lines to show his skills in this area, and then according to the requirements of the interviewer, performs a certain part of the play, and then talks about the understanding of the role.

The interviewer is Luo Yuan and the heads of various departments.

These people are recruited by major guilds, and the level is not too high, but there is no problem in completing an online drama, Xia Ran and Ai Xiaoai are also interviewers, because in addition to the male and female protagonists, they are also investors in this drama.

Zhang Xingchen passed the test directly.

His voice is a bit subwoofer, he has a background in drama in school, and although his acting skills are not superb, because they are all just graduates, there is no problem at all to play the role of a college student, and he has a bit of a true character.

"Next. ”

Zhang Xingchen went out, and Luo Yuan knocked on the table......

The morning was spent in the casting, the main actors were determined, and this group of people also got the complete script, but as acting students who had just left the campus, this group of students obviously did not have enough ability to distinguish between good and bad scripts, and they just thought that it would be filmed, and they did not have any confidence in the future of this drama.

There are many video websites of all kinds in China.

There are almost everywhere in low-cost online dramas, and if you want to fight your way out in such an environment, the chances are similar to hitting big luck.

Moreover.

Luo Yuan filmed a web drama of the same type called "Love Waltz" before, and the millions of investments were messed up, and now this drama has less than 500,000 investments, and the main creator is also the original person of the previous street drama, a completely low-profile version of "Love Waltz".

In addition, Luo Yuan's age is also unreliable.

There are actually many young directors in China, but there are very few young directors who can get their works, Luo Yuan is 21 years old this year, not as old as an actor, it is strange that this group of people should have confidence in such an online drama.

Their idea is simple.

There is filming, there is a salary, and there is experience to brush, these things are the biggest motivation for them to take this drama.

"The contract was signed three days later. ”

After determining the actors, Luo Yuan announced this decision, and after signing the contract, "Together Through the Window" can officially start filming.
