Section 105: The Beginning
Shen Huan didn't go to other crews to wander anymore, just waited outside the isolation line, and waited until the actress who was scolded by the director finished her role and changed into civilian clothes to leave, and then quickly greeted her and intercepted her.
"Hello, I have a role here that might be a good fit for you, can you talk about it?"
Shen Huan didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point. It was only as he got closer that he felt more and more familiar with the person in front of him, as if he had seen it somewhere.
The actress looked at Shen Huan with a wary expression.
Seeing her expression, Shen Huan took off half of the mask and showed her her face completely, and then pulled the mask back on, "I'm ......"
He didn't say anything, but the actress spoke first.
"Examiner Shen!"
This title is very new to Shen Huan, and it also makes him finally understand where his familiarity comes from: this person may have interviewed for the role in the past two days, and he has seen her, so he has such a sense of familiarity. It's just that he racked his brains, and he couldn't remember the other party's name. And if there is such a suitable actor, there should be no reason for him to miss it?
However, the other party can recognize him and know that he has a play in preparation, so it is much more convenient to talk.
"Let's find another place to talk. ”
Today's scene of this actress is over, but the crew work is still in progress, and it is really inconvenient to talk here.
After hearing Shen Huan's words, the actress nodded without much hesitation, "Okay." After that, the two left side by side.
The two walked leisurely for a while, chatting as they walked, and when they got out of this Republic of China area and found a landscape of the city wall where no one sat down, Shen Huan finally knew why he couldn't remember who she was.
She is Li Manshu, she came on the first day of the interview, and she was passed by Shen Huan directly from her appearance, because she was so old-fashioned and fierce even if she wore makeup at that time, what is the real foundation?
But what Shen Huan never expected was that her foundation was actually very good, and the effect presented under the makeup artist of the crew was quite good, youthful and beautiful, and the appearance of her own makeup that day was simply like two people - she was not wearing makeup, she was disfigured!
is also because of her amazing "makeup technique", and there are too many people in recent times, so Shen Huan just feels familiar, but she can't remember who she is.
“…… Let's try it out, shall we?"
After the two of them stopped under this landscape of the city wall, Shen Huan asked.
On the way up just now, Shen Huan had already told her about his intentions.
He wanted to see if she could play the heroine, and Li Manshu also showed great interest after hearing Shen Huan's intention - "overjoyed" may be better described.
And the reason why Shen Huan made this decision is because Li Manshu not only has a suitable appearance, but the performance he added just now also meets his standard line: in the extra performance where she was scolded, she did pass her performance, without a word, she can basically let people see the mental struggle process of her character.
This is not to say how superb Li Manshu's acting skills are, in fact, if the full score of the performance is 100 points, Li Manshu's performance just now is only 40 points in Shen Huan, and even the passing mark of 60 points cannot be reached, that is, the level of graduates of ordinary film schools, so it is no wonder that the director will scold her for this additional drama that is not wonderful and disrupts the filming process.
But it was enough for Shen Huan.
A great advantage of filming "Meteor Garden" is that the requirements for actors are very low, and the role of F4 members only needs 20 points in Shen Huan's opinion to be enough, and the so-called high standards of the heroine are only relative to these standard levels.
40 points, that's enough.
Such a low selection standard is not that Shen Huan deliberately put it on purpose - if he can, of course he also hopes to find an excellent actor who has both internal and external cultivation to play, but that is impossible.
Their crew has no attraction and limited funds, so the standards for actors naturally can't be too high, they can only grasp the key points of the roles, such as "handsome" and "tall" and other core selling points, and the rest of the parts just meet the standards.
Under the limited resources, we should focus on the key points, make trade-offs, and allocate them rationally, so as to integrate the limited resources to achieve the greatest effect. This is also the first thing Shen Huan learned as a director and producer in the industrial production process.
"Hmm. ”
Li Manshu responded, her expression a little nervous.
On the way here, Shen Huan had already told her about the trick, so the two of them immediately got started, and they used the rivalry of the first change in the relationship between Shancai and Daoming Temple. And after trying, Shen Huan stood up, and his heart was finally determined.
That's her.
Li Manshu's nervousness disappeared after the audition began, and she completed the performance well, and I don't know if it was because of the mental concentration caused by the nervousness, her performance was even better than what Shen Huan had seen before - if Shen Huan gave her 40 points before, then this audition could have scored 45 points.
"Welcome. ”
After the audition, Li Manshu also stood up, and Shen Huan stretched out his hand to her, "On behalf of the crew of "Meteor Garden", I look forward to your joining as the heroine. ”
He also heard from Li Manshu's mouth just now that she is just a big deal in this crew, and she doesn't have many roles, so she can enter the group of "Meteor Garden", and there is no problem with the time.
Li Manshu's nervousness reappeared after the audition, patting the ash on her ass while her eyes were uncertain. And after suddenly hearing Shen Huan's words, she was stunned at first, and then, to Shen Huan's surprise, two lines of tears flowed directly from her eyes without warning.
"Thank you, thank you......"
Li Manshu held Shen Huan's hand, lowered his head, and kept muttering thanks, his voice was already choked.
Shen Huan was silent.
He can somewhat understand Li Manshu's emotions.
The feeling of looking up at the infinitely bright sky in despair, but always being blocked by a layer of glass and unable to fly high, he couldn't be clearer than ever. If someone suddenly came to him at this time and told him that he wanted to be the leading actor of a drama, he probably wouldn't be able to control his emotions?......
The heroine is finalized, the crew is officially prepared, and then everyone's contracts are done, and the personnel are gathered, and the filming work officially begins.
The crew's first stop was in Tong'an.
Many scenes of "Meteor Garden" are taken on campus, and a beautiful and atmospheric campus is indispensable to shoot the kind of romance of idol dramas, and the first thing Shen Huan thought of was Xiamen University - in this world, it is called Tong'an University.
The name is different, but the beauty of the campus is roughly the same as that of another world, and under Qin Muyang's work, he also successfully obtained permission to shoot on campus, mainly borrowing part of the Siming campus located at the southern tip of Tong'an Island for shooting.
After going to the island, moving in, and holding the start-up ceremony, after all the processes were completed, the first scene of "Meteor Garden" was finally about to start filming.
……
On the boulevard near the south gate of Tong'an University, there are many social people at this moment, some are pulling the isolation line on the periphery, some are busy running around in the field, and some are just standing and watching them work, such as Shen Huan.
"Pull the line and don't get into the frame...... Who's that over there? Why did you run in! Koga! Koga...... Zi~~ Call Lao Jin, call Lao Jin, are you ready over there, are you ready over there?......"
Chu Hong kept running around Shen Huan, shouting loudly for a while and talking with a walkie-talkie for a while - this is good to have an assistant director, there are people to do a lot of work for him, he just needs to control the overall situation.
This first scene is very simple, it is the scene where the heroine Shancai rides a battery car to school, but the battery car breaks, and then she is ridiculed by a snobbish female classmate, and it is also the first scene of the entire "Meteor Garden", the first scene is even simpler, that is, Shancai is riding a battery car, and middle school students can play it.
Shen Huan first wanted to take care of these actors and let them get into the state as soon as possible, and secondly, he also wanted to find a feeling for himself as a director for the first time, so he arranged this scene in the first scene.
Now Li Manshu has put on makeup and changed clothes, and is already waiting to be in place, looking a little nervous, constantly sitting and taking deep breaths, but Shen Huan is not worried about her - when she auditioned for her, she was also a little nervous, but as soon as she shouted "start", she put her nervousness away.
After Chu Hong tossed for a while, the crew members were all in place, and Li Manshu also went over to be in place and rode on the battery car.
Shen Huan lifted the guide tube to make a final confirmation.
"Lights!"
"The lights are in place!"
"Camera!"
"Camera in place!"
"Actor!"
"The actors are in place!" ......
All in place, Shen Huan did not immediately shout to start, but first took a deep look at the scene: he saw that the theater reporters were squatting behind the cameras on both sides that could not be photographed, and he saw the crew's photographer Fei Liming bending down behind the crew's 700-line Connie SPY-180 camera, he saw Chu Hong standing beside him, staring at the end of the boulevard without blinking, and he saw Li Manshu sitting on the battery car, holding the ground with one foot and holding the battery car diagonally, motionless......
He had fantasized countless times about himself as the leading actor, but now he has become not only the leading actor, but also the director, all of which is like a dream, but so real.
In the end, Shen Huan retracted his gaze, his gaze was firm, and he shouted.
"Let's go!"
