"Operation Mekong" needs a lot of actors, in addition to the two main characters, the anti-drug five-person team, and the two family members, all of whom need to be decided by the casting director.

Casting, also known as casting, is responsible for recruiting extras, special actors, and small roles during filming, and directing performances to complete the filming work.

This is the definition of a regular Hollywood crew, in China, especially in Orange, several directors are lazy, except for the protagonist, other roles are arranged by Tang Xiao Culture or Chen Zhixi.

Then Tangtang and Chen Zhixi combined and simply set up an additional company responsible for casting.

Of course, in terms of resource allocation, priority must be given to one's own people...

"Need to be famous?"

“... No, by the way, this shooting may be a bit hard, find a few who can endure hardship!"

"Can you endure hardship? Where are you going to shoot?"

"Mainly in Bangkok. ”

Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were going to go to the Golden Triangle to shoot on the spot!"

Director Lu said angrily: "How is it possible? This is a commercial film, not a documentary." ”

added: "We have already collected a lot of real data and information about the case with the Ministry of Public Security, and we have already done enough information on the local daily clothing and the characteristics of the buildings in the Golden Triangle area, and we can just set up a scene when the time comes!"

"Not dangerous, right?"

“... We're setting up a scene in Yunnan, and there's the Ministry of Public Security next to it, so how can it be dangerous?"

"Okay, then I'll go to Sister Chen and discuss. ”

"Hmm. Lu Xiaoran hesitated, but still asked, "Do you want to play the role of Xinwu's girlfriend below?"

“... Leave such an opportunity to the newcomer, give it to Di Li, let her get acquainted with her face first..."

"Well... However, you're not filming this year, are you?"

Director Lu didn't force it...

"There's no particularly good script, why don't you write me another one?"

Teacher Lu paused for a moment: "I'm really not a screenwriter!"

"However, if you want to act, you can go to the United States..."

"I'm not going to play a supporting actress!"

"Then there is no way, I will help you pay attention, and if there is a good script, I will definitely recommend it to you. ”

"Say, what's the most appropriate subject for my age?"

"Workplace drama!"

......

30+, workplace drama...

Many people complain that there are no decent workplace dramas in China, and the screenwriters are all little bourgeois...

It's really not, there are still good screenwriters!

For example, the script of "Divorce Lawyer" is actually very good, the screenwriter consultant is lawyer Chen Xu, and the screenwriter is also a very professional Chen Tong...

When the script came into the hands of a large company, it was first forced by various Party A fathers to add a lot of emotional dramas, and asked to refer to a certain Korean drama that was the hottest at the time, and describe it according to the emotional pattern of the male and female protagonists...

When the script was in the hands of the male and female protagonists, both of them felt that each other's plays were better, so they found a screenwriter respectively, rewrote the script, and worked hard to change all the good-looking scenes to themselves, and if they could delete one of the other party's good-looking scenes, they would delete one more scene;

At the beginning, the director couldn't stand the pressure, couldn't balance the requirements of the play, the producer, and the male and female protagonists, and collapsed and left. The new director is forced to shoot different versions of the same scene on the spot, leaving it to everyone to use later;

Because of the constant contradictions, in the end, this drama was seriously overscheduled, and many scenes were deleted in the later stage and could not be filmed, but the final number of episodes remained unchanged.

...

Awesome, no?

The so-called workplace drama generally tells the story of a group of intellectual workers who struggle or intrigue in their professional fields.

This genre is not as popular as dog-blood romance dramas.

Even on the Internet platform, the four genres of youth puppets, big costumes, and strong plots - mainly suspenseful detectives and period dramas are more popular...

If the workplace is the core element, it is risky and costly, and there are requirements for the cast lineup.

Therefore, customers do not encourage you to engage in workplace dramas, and you yourself do not prefer workplace dramas, so the result is that workplace dramas are cool.

However, as major platforms realize the importance of focus, there will gradually become more workplace dramas, and fewer sand sculpture dramas...

It's a pity that at that time, Tangtang was already nearly forty years old...

Therefore, she has to take the lead herself, as long as she makes up her mind and loses money, she will definitely be able to do it!

“... Workplace?"

"You can look at 'Unborn,' 'Mad Men,' 'Dr. House,' 'The Newsroom'... It's really not good, you can act in your true colors and make a drama with the producer industry!"

"Producer?"

"The main plot is the production of "Why Sheng Xiaomo", you are transforming from an actor, the first independent production, casting, and director, many people are particularly concerned about this..."

Tangtang pondered carefully: "Okay, I'll think about it..."

Of course, Sugar Producer finds it interesting, the casting of "Why Sheng Xiaomo" is not mixed with any unspoken rules, it is selected one by one...

"Well, it's better to talk to Teng Xun, the TV station may not be interested!"

“... Why aren't you interested?"

"This kind of story is up to 10 episodes, how many more episodes do you want to make? unless you want to expose the inside story of the industry and buy ratings or something!"

"Then forget it, I'll go find Zhixi and discuss it with her..."

"Don't forget, the casting of Operation Mekong!"

"Don't worry!"

......

The sugar slices were in a hurry and left, Lu Qibai leaned on the sofa, picked up the film schedule in front of him, and analyzed the battle situation...

The box office of "Chinese Partner" should be above 400 million - Zhao Yan's "To Us" has a reputation far less than "Partner", and the box office has been surpassed;

"Dragon Gate" is a one-week gap - "X-Men: Future Past" will be released on May 23;

As the second part of "Daming Jianghu", the box office of "Dragon Gate" only exceeds 100 million, even if the cost is recovered, but as a series, especially the previous "Embroidered Spring Knife", the box office and reputation are very good, "Dragon Gate" is only over 100 million, and it obviously failed to complete the goal...

The propaganda department set a baseline of 200 million...

It shouldn't be a big problem, the starring role is Wang Kai + Tang Yixin, both of which are the most popular new generations, and the villain arranged the very sassy Ling Xiaosu...

June, "Master of Hypnosis", July, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", "August", "The Year of Rush"...

It shouldn't be a big problem, even if it's just "Transformers 4", there is no pressure on three movies and a box office of 1.5 billion...

September, which one will it be on?

"Fast Attack" will start in September and be released in China at the same time, should you avoid it?

In the first half of the year, North America released three films, "Human Removal Project 2", "Annabelle", "Latent 2" and "Fifty Shades Darker", all of which must have made a lot of money, and "Annabelle" cost 8 million and directly won 89 million US dollars at the North American local box office...

"Fifty Shades Darker" lost its level, and the North American box office stopped at $114 million, not compared to the $160 million of the previous part, and the global box office failed to replicate the miracle of the last one's global hit of $500 million, but it also sold $309 million...

Overall, the money is still being made.

So, the production of the last "Fifty Degrees Flying" is on the agenda...

Several comedies are scheduled for the summer, and generally speaking, R-rated comedies can basically earn money as long as they are played and the story is told completely.

The future is bright!

Surpassing Disney is not a dream.

When the mobile phone rang, it was Zhang Yiming, and he said: "Today's headlines are accused of infringement, and it must be solved quickly!"

Boss Lu hurriedly went to Zhongguancun...
