The next afternoon, in a slightly remote but distinctive coffee shop in Yanjing, Xiao Yao and He Ying met as promised. After a brief greeting, the two chatted about their recent situation. Speaking of recent developments, it is natural to talk about film projects.

"Xiao Yao, I also told you on the phone yesterday," He Ying asked, "I have read the script, it is a good script, a good story, but there is no role suitable for me in it." You don't really lack money and want me to invest in you, right?"

He Ying has debuted for many years and set up her own personal studio almost ten years ago. In the past ten years, He Ying's studio has also cooperated with other film and television companies to invest in some film and television works. Although almost all of these film and television works are starring He Ying herself, it is not impossible to only invest and not star.

"I don't want your money, but I want to give you money!" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "I want to ask you to star in this movie!"

"I've said it all, the characters in it..."He Ying smiled bitterly.

"Is there really nothing for you?" Xiao Yao said, "I don't think so!"

"Then which role do you want me to play?" He Ying opened her mind and said with a smile, "You don't want me to play a male role, right?"

"Coppersmith's wife!" Xiao Yao said.

"Huh?" He Ying said in surprise, "I play this role?"

"Don't you think it's challenging?" Xiao Yao smiled.

"It's very challenging, but it's not for me!" He Ying said, "I can't imagine what it would be like for me to play that role!"

"I can, I can help you imagine it!" Xiao Yao took out a photo from the bag next to him and handed it to He Ying, "Look at this!"

"What is this?" He Ying took the photo and glanced at it, and said a little strangely.

"You can think of it as a makeup photo for the role of the coppersmith's wife!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Makeup photos?" He Ying was puzzled, "Even the makeup photos of the characters have been taken, isn't there already an actor?

"I said you can use it as a makeup photo, but I didn't say that it is really a makeup photo," Xiao Yao said, "You can take a closer look!"

He Ying didn't look at the photo carefully after taking it, but after hearing the words, she looked at it carefully, and suddenly felt a little familiar.

"This, why does it look familiar?" He Ying asked.

"This is a photo of you that I found from the Internet, and then used retouching software to change it!" Xiao Yao smiled, "This is you, of course it looks familiar!"

"Is this me?" He Ying was startled, and almost threw the photo out of her hand.

In this photo, there is a dark-skinned woman with some potholes on her face, and an ugly appearance, which is much uglier than the character He Ying imagined after reading the script.

"That's what I look like in your heart?" He Ying said a little angrily and funny.

"It's not that you look like this in my heart," Xiao Yao corrected, "but that this character looks like this in my heart." I'll solve the problem of appearance, and as for the difference between the character and your own personality, I believe in your ability as a professional actor. ”

"Sister He Ying," Xiao Yao continued, "I've seen almost all of your works. No matter what the character is, even if it is a villain, it is the kind of intellectual character who is very educated. And after getting in touch with you personally, I also think that you are a goddess-level character with a very good family education, very educated and temperamental. But at the same time, I'm also a little curious, that is, have you lived for more than 30 years, and have you ever fought with people?"

"Of course I fought when I was a child!" He Ying said with a smile, "When I was studying, I fought with boys in order to stand out for my classmates, but I didn't have it when I grew up." ”

"Well, you're still a cool and righteous person. Xiao Yao nodded, and then asked, "So have you ever scolded people unscrupulously and happily? Especially the feeling of being particularly vulgar and rude?"

"This~" He Ying smiled bitterly, "There really isn't!"

"Actually, that feeling is very refreshing, there is a special pleasure, don't you want to experience it?" Xiao Yao pointed to the photo in her hand, "Now is a rare opportunity!"

"Hmm~" He Ying began to hesitate.

"We are all people who have a good family environment since childhood, and at the same time our own abilities are quite good. Xiao Yao continued, "I guess you're like me, being an actor isn't, at least not just to be famous and make a lot of money, right? Why are we actors? Let's not talk about it for the sake of art." Anyway, I'm just trying to experience a different life through the character! This kind of thing that you would never do in real life, you don't want to try it in a movie through this role?"

"I want to ask, besides Sun Tingting, who are the other actors in this movie? Will you play the role yourself?" asked He Ying.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "At present, only Sun Tingting will play Zhang Yiman, and I will play the coppersmith, if you agree, this movie will determine the actors of the three roles." The rest of the cast hasn't been decided yet, but this movie was my own investment, and I can assure you that they are all actors who can act!"

"You play coppersmith?" He Ying said in surprise.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"You are so sweet in reality, you are a combination, and you will sprinkle dog food everywhere at every opportunity, but you have to hurt each other so much in the play. He Ying shook her head and said.

She didn't think of the intimate scene in the script, but thought of the mutual abuse between the two after they turned against each other in the play.

"So I said, this is the joy of being an actor!" Xiao Yao said, "In real life, it is impossible for Sun Tingting and I to say such vicious language to each other." This can only happen when we are not us, but someone else in the play!"

"It seems like I'm going to try this!" He Ying smiled.

"Then you agreed to take on this role?" Xiao Yao said happily.

"When is it expected to start?" He Ying said, "Although there are not many scenes in this role, it is still quite difficult for me, I need to prepare well!"

"At least two months away. Xiao Yao said, "Sun Tingting also needs a long time to prepare for the role of Zhang Yiman. She went to the countryside to teach and experience the role, and after she came back, she had to study and train with her parents for a period of time. She asked me to give her at least three months to prepare, and now it's only been half a month. I'm still in the stage of selecting the crew and actors, and I have to go to the selection and setting up the scenery later, so it will take more than two months!"

"More than two months, it should be enough!" He Ying nodded, "Okay, I'll take this role next!"

"Let me explain in advance," Xiao Yao said, "The filming location of this movie has not yet been determined, but it should be in a relatively remote place in the northwest of Shanxi, and the conditions may be a little more difficult!"

"It's okay," He Ying said, "I can accept it!"

"Then let's talk about it?" Xiao Yao said, "In terms of salary, I will let the people in the company talk to your agent!

With the good relationship between Xiao Yao and He Ying, there should not be too many problems in terms of salary.

"There shouldn't be a problem in that regard. He Ying said, "There are not many scenes in this role, and we will definitely not ask for more, so we will give you a friendship price." ”

"Okay," Xiao Yao smiled and stretched out his hand, "I hope we have a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" He Ying stretched out her hand and shook Xiao Yao, then took the photo and said, "I still have a request, can you give me this photo?"

"Of course you can!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Do you want to face her every day and find the feeling of a character?"

"It's not about looking for a role feeling for her every day, but for her to find a role feeling!" He Ying said, "I'm going to go to the vegetable market on the street to observe life and learn how to scold and quarrel! This image is very good, I can't see that it's me at all, I'm going to find a makeup artist to put on my makeup like this, so I go out to observe it like this." ”

"Well, that's a good idea!" Xiao Yao laughed with a thumbs up.

After agreeing with He Ying, Xiao Yao also notified the casting company and asked him to cancel the casting of the coppersmith's wife.

Xiao Yao handed over the matter of movie casting to the casting company. If you decide on the actor for a role, you will naturally notify the casting company so that you can avoid doing useless work. Xiao Yao's cooperation agreement with the casting company is to ask the casting company to help him complete the preliminary selection of actors for all the roles in the whole movie, and the remuneration is not calculated according to the number of roles. Xiao Yao himself determined a role, which would not reduce the income of the casting company, and also helped them save their workload, so they had no opinion.

Xiao Yao asked He Ying to play the role on a whim, and he didn't plan to make all the actor choices by himself.

After the broadcast of the group variety show, He Ying was not the only insider who noticed that Xiao Yao was preparing for a new film project. After He Ying, Xiao Yao and Fang still received several calls asking about the casting of film projects, either for themselves, or to their friends and artists in the circle to fight for roles.

Since there was no actor like He Ying who made Xiao Yao playful and wanted to be determined very much, Xiao Yao replied to the other party that the casting company was responsible for all the casting, and sent him to the casting company to participate in the primary selection of the casting company.

Xiao Yao gave the casting company a month of primary selection, and now only a little more than a week has passed. For the rest of the time, Xiao Yao didn't want to pay attention to the casting for the time being, and naturally returned to his previous life and work trajectory.

In this month's time, Xiao Yao's main work is the girl group. Xiao Yao asked for the women's group members' itinerary for this month, because Xiao Yao is not only to guide the girls when all the girls come to the group training every week, but also to go when individual girl group members practice.

In the previous week, Xiao Yao was going to make a cameo appearance in the crew, and he knew that some of his behaviors on the day of his guest appearance would be exposed after the broadcast of the group variety show, so he did not go to Hangzhou to give guidance to individual team members in the middle, and left it for the second full practice to appear.

This week's situation is different from the previous week, the tricks of concealing the girls have been exposed, and after finishing He Ying's affairs, he has no other work to do, so Xiao Yao is ready to stay in Hangzhou.

After a week of practice, the girls have a gap in the performance of that song, and everyone's personal shortcomings have also been exposed, and Xiao Yao can better guide individual members. In addition, Xiao Yao also promised Ai Jun to help her make up lessons in the show, in addition to instructing the girls to sing and dance, Xiao Yao can occasionally live the addiction of being a cram teacher.

In addition to the eleven "temporary students" of the 101 women's group, Xiao Yao also has a regular student Tang Jingjing.

In the past few years, Xiao Yao, who is still a student himself, has not taught Tang Jingjing many lessons seriously, basically just when he works in the recording studio and Tang Jingjing happens to be free, let Tang Jingjing come to the recording studio to watch and learn, and guide him by the way.

Tang Jingjing is already a seventeen-year-old girl, her behavior ability and self-care ability have improved a lot, and now it is the summer vacation again, so she is naturally more free. This little girl has somehow become obsessed with dancing recently, and I heard that Xiao Yao was teaching the 101 girl group in Hangzhou, so she also came to Hangzhou.

Xiao Yao accepted Tang Jingjing as a student, mainly because he took a fancy to her potential in singing, and basically taught music knowledge and singing skills. However, Xiao Yao did not object to Tang Jingjing's dancing, but he didn't have the time and energy to teach. There are a few girls in the 101 women's group who have really good dancing skills, Tang Jingjing wants to come to Hangzhou, and she can also be allowed to play and learn with Wei Yunjing and other girls with good dance skills, and Xiao Yao has no objection.

If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short. A few days later, it was time for the third women's group full practice class.

Because Xiao Yao has practiced and guided the members of the women's group alone this week, he has a better understanding of their progress and performance, and the performance and improvement of the members of the women's group are also better than the previous week, so this all-staff practice class did not start in the practice room, but took everyone to the recording studio to record.

The official version of this song was recorded in Hangzhou, which took up the time of the group practice class, and the recording studio was naturally provided to Xiao Yao by Haiyan Entertainment.

Xiao Yao discussed with Haiyan to personally produce the official version of the song, but he did not do all the work during the recording alone. Xiao Yao can do all the work in the recording studio, not because he has obsessive-compulsive disorder and likes to run between the recording room and the operation room, but simply because he is lazy and troublesome.

When working in his own recording studio, Xiao Yao needed to ask the band to hire a recording engineer by himself. Xiao Yao was troublesome and felt that it was better to invite someone to come by himself, so he came up with a double CD album with almost all the names of the behind-the-scenes producers himself. When cooperating with others, if the other party is willing to provide Xiao Yao with the staff of the recording studio to help him complete the recording work, Xiao Yao will of course adopt it all in line with the principle of not using it in vain.

This song was written for Haiyan Entertainment's girl group, and Haiyan Entertainment not only provided Xiao Yao with a recording studio, but also provided recording engineers, assistants and other personnel to cooperate with his work, and Xiao Yao also accepted all the orders.

The arrangement and soundtrack of this song is something that Xiao Yao has already done, he only needs to record the vocal tracks of the members of the girl group, and with the help of a recording engineer on the side, Xiao Yao only needs to pay attention to the singing of the members of the girl group in the recording room, give guidance, and the work is relatively easy.

It has been more than a year since the debut of this girl group, and the business has basically improved. This song has been practiced for two weeks, and the singing performance of the girl group members is relatively mature, so the recording of the whole song did not take too long. In less than a practice session, Xiao Yao had already completed the recording of the song. Put the matter of post-tone correction in the later case,//3_3635/
