Chapter 50: Movie Preparation

Peng Yichen has been idle again in the past few days, although the role of Wei Qing has a lot of roles in "The Emperor of Han Wu", but in the 58 episodes, only a small half of the scenes appeared.

There are already a lot of characters in this kind of large-scale historical drama, except for the protagonist Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the other actors are actually waiting for the play most of the time.

The appearance scenes of several old actors in Xi'an Film Studio have basically been filmed, and the reason why they still stay in the crew and have not left is because they really have nothing else to do.

is different from actor-level acting schools like Chen Jianguo, although these old actors have superb acting skills, their fame is very small, and most of the time they can only receive some appointments for movies with the main theme.

But there are only a dozen main theme movies shot in Huaxia every year, and there are so few opportunities, but there are so many actors from state-owned film studios competing. Therefore, the opportunity for these old actors to make movies is very rare.

In addition, the crew often needs to reshoot some previously filmed shots, and these veteran actors simply rush to the crew to watch the performances of other actors as if they were going to work every day.

It's better than staying at home every day and having nothing to do.

Peng Yichen didn't chat with them about the snacks and customs of the northwest like he did before. He came to these old actors with a script of more than ten pages and storyboards, as well as a movie budget of more than forty pages, and handed it to Chen Ting, who played Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

He is the section chief of the acting section of Chang'an Studio, so among the other 8 actors from Chang'an Film Studio present, he is the leader.

Chen Ting looked at Peng Yichen's serious expression and knew that this young man was not joking this time.

He took out the reading glasses he had brought with him, and first opened the film shooting budget plan, because a good production budget is easier to see whether a project is executable than a good script.

Peng Yichen has spent all the rest of his time on this budget in addition to filming in the crew these days.

He used his experience in his previous life in many crews to make all the details that could be thought of into the plan.

Although the total investment is only 100,000 yuan, through this budget plan, Chen Ting seems to have seen every expense after the crew is completed, and he really sees it.

If you don't count the salary of the movie actors, this budget is indeed enough to make the whole movie.

After all, it seems that the movies Peng Yichen intends to shoot all take place in one scene. The cost of setting and venue rental is very low.

In addition to the actors' salaries, the crew only needs to bear the cost of camera and lighting.

And because it was shot in a single indoor scene, the film could be shot entirely at night. In this way, it is completely staggered with the start time of the crew of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", and the filming tools of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" can be rented directly.

Chen Guozhong's appreciation and support for Peng Yichen for a while, everyone can see that he has no reason to disagree with such a trivial matter as renting shooting tools.

After reading the budget, Chen Ting opened the script.

He still didn't rush to see the specific plot content, and went directly to the last page to see the list of crew members and actors.

Director: Peng Yichen;

Screenwriter: Peng Yichen;

Assistant director: Feng Licheng, he is one of the four assistant directors of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", and his relationship with Peng Yichen is very iron;

Producer: Xiao Min (TBC);

Cinematography: vacant;

Editor: Peng Yichen;

Soundtrack: Vacant;

Lighting: Vacant;

Props: Vacant;

Fine Arts: Vacant;......

"Haha, do you kid want to finish a movie by himself? It seems that this movie has not been discussed with your company, and you dare to bring it to us?"

Chen Ting saw that the producer Xiao Min was still pending, so he guessed that Peng Yichen did not tell the company about the movie.

"Hehe, your old eyes are like torches. I have already told my agent Lao Sun about this matter, and he has already told me that the company will not stop this kind of thing. After all, it's all my own investment, and the company has mature channels for later release and release, and it doesn't take much effort. ”

Peng Yichen immediately patted his chest and assured that the company would not embarrass himself on this.

Chen Ting nodded, not continuing to ask. Looking further down, there are only about 20 people in the actor list, of which only 12 are the main actors, and the rest of the actors are only cameos, with very few scenes.

Among the 12 main actors, 9 actors from Chang'an Film Studio on their side have filled in it.

Peng Yichen himself will definitely not be left behind.

The other is Peng Yichen's brother, Huang Bo.

At the end, there is a vacancy written in the slot, and it seems that the actor has not been found yet.

After reading Peng Yichen's budget plan and cast and crew list, Chen Tingcai became somewhat interested in this movie.

It seems that this kid is really not playing tickets, things are very professional and meticulous, and he, a person who has been in the film industry all his life, can't find any problems.

"Looks like you're really putting your heart into this movie. Chen Ting looked at Peng Yichen with a smile.

couldn't help but tease him, "But you kid didn't ask our opinions, just fill in the list of actors with 9 of us, isn't it a little too confident, if the script is too bad, although we have a good relationship with you, we may not give up decades of reputation to help you with this!"

Peng Yichen pretended to be cute, and said with a smile: "I don't know how old you are?" ”

After fawning himself, his face swelled with confidence and determination.

"Besides, I believe that as long as I am a good actor, I will have to act in this script. ”

"Good boy, it's big enough, why didn't you think about me Lao Zhao when you have a good script. As long as Lao Chen is a good actor, I'm not a good actor?"

Peng Yichen didn't need to turn around, just hearing this positive personality tone, he guessed that it was Zhao Jianguo who was speaking behind his back.

Since the last time he acted in a rival play with Zhao Jianguo, Peng Yichen has fallen into the eyes of this drama essence. Every time he had the opportunity to play against Peng Yichen, he was very excited.

Zhao Jianguo has a high status in the circle, a good reputation, and excellent acting skills, all of which are well-known.

But his big mouth and straight temper are also well-known. He never endures it when he can't get used to it, and he never holds back when he likes to appreciate it.

In just ten days, I can hear him praise Peng Yichen every day.

"If you young actors have half of Tatsuko's acting skills, I'll slap you. Look what you're doing?"

Zhao Jianguo's identity and status said that no one dared to say anything, but this hatred was all pulled on Peng Yichen.

So what to do, seniors give face, let's continue.

He could only invite those young actors who had been scolded by Zhao Jianguo to dinner to ease the relationship between everyone.
