Next chapter

There are three major difficulties in making movies, animals, children, and big scenes, as long as anyone who makes movies knows that these three scenes are the most headaches. … ≦。 … ≦

There are many characters in the big scenes, and it is easy to make mistakes in scheduling and positioning, and the whole scene has to be reshot if there is a slight difference; animal scenes are difficult to shoot because the animals are not controlled, they can't understand what you are saying, and many times you can't make it come as expected; and the difficulty of shooting children's scenes lies in the fact that children don't follow the rhythm of the crew at all, and it is difficult for them to really understand the characters, and how to arrange children's feelings is a test for any director.

Zhang Ran is not the first time to shoot children's scenes, there are several children's scenes in "Time Prisoner", which can be regarded as some experience. He knows that children are basically playing themselves, and the choice of actors is particularly important, as long as the actors are chosen correctly, the role will be 80% successful.

There are many scenes in this play, Xiao Qiao Zhengfei and Xiao Liu Jiao, and their performances are very important to the whole play, so Zhang Ran didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest. After the first round of auditions, he arranged a one-week training for the four young actors, mainly to teach some basic skills and common sense of acting, such as not staring at the camera when acting, not being able to turn back the stage, how to concentrate and so on.

Zhang Ran was busy and didn't have time to train the four children personally, so he handed over the children to Li Xinyue and Zhou Zheng, and divided the four children into two groups for training. In the process of training, Li Xinyue and they have to observe what the personality characteristics of the four children are, whether they are good at communicating with others, whether they are focused or not, etc., which will become the basis for the final casting.

While Li Xinyue and the others were training with four young actors, Zhang Ran made an appointment with three members of the GALA band to meet in a café in Beiping.

GALA is a British band formed by three young people, lead singer Sudo, Guitar Prince, and Bass Mumu, formed on January 2, 2004, is a new band that has been around for a few days, and now they are completely nobodies in the music circle.

When the gala band knew that Zhang Ran had asked him to meet, they were very surprised, and at the same time, they were a little puzzled, what would Zhang Ran talk to about themselves? Ask us to sing? How could it be? Now Zhang Ran is a hot director in China, and he only needs to say if he wants to find someone to sing. Celebrities think they are rushing to get on, how can they find us!

However, they are still looking forward to this meeting, they both like "Burst Drummer" very much, and they are fans of Zhang Ran. In order to show the importance of this meeting. They arrived at the agreed café an hour early.

When it was almost ten o'clock, Zhang Ran came to the café.

The three members of the GALA band all stood up and said excitedly: "Director Zhang, it's such an honor to meet you! I'm a big fan of yours! I especially like "The Burst Drummer", and the movie has a drum at the end of the movie!"

"Thank you. Don't be polite with me, sit down!" Zhang Ran smiled and beckoned them to sit down, then found his hand and called the waiter and asked for a cup of coffee.

At this time, the three members of the band each took out a notebook, took out a pen, and handed it to Zhang Ran: "Director Zhang, can you please sign for me?"

Zhang Ran took the notebook and signed them, and then chatted with them. The three members of the band were particularly interested in "Burst Drummer" and asked a lot about the shooting. I also ask about drum kits and music. Zhang Ran did not hide the slightest, talked eloquently, and had a good conversation with them.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Ran began to get to the point, opened the bag and took out a sheet of music and handed it to the lead singer Su Duo: "The three of you will take a look at this song first, and when you finish reading it, let's talk again!"

Su Duo was a little surprised in his heart, looking at the music score, he didn't want to ask us to sing, right? How is this possible, probably let us record a sample for him, or sing along!

Sudo took the score and glanced at it. The name of the song is "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", which is a good name! He praised it in his heart, and then looked at the score seriously, humming softly in his heart.

At the beginning, Sudo was just grateful. It's just that as the song progresses, he feels a passion slowly ignite in his heart, and then the whole flame burns all over his body. When the ** part of the song arrived, his blood began to boil!

Such youth, such a song, it is really heartwarming!

After the inner agitation subsided slightly. A strange feeling rose in Sudo's mind. It was a wonderful feeling, and the song made him feel so relatable, so familiar, like reuniting with an old friend, and it was like a part of his life. He didn't know how to describe it, he felt that this song was especially suitable for him to sing!

Sudo hummed twice, and the feeling became stronger and stronger. He took a breath, handed the score to his companion, and silently thought about whether to try it, telling Zhang Ran that he could perform this song well, and asked him to let him sing this song!

Sudo felt that his voice was a little hoarse, and the middle range was low and surrounding, which was very suitable for this song, and he believed that he could sing this song well.

It's just that after thinking about it, Su Duo shook his head gently, this is impossible, what kind of singer Zhang Ran can't find, how can he let a nobody like himself sing! If he says it, I'm afraid that Zhang Ran will take it as a joke, and he may even lose the opportunity to be an accompanist.

The other two members of Gala will soon finish reading the score, and although they don't have a particularly strong feeling for the song like Sudo, they both think it's a particularly good song.

Seeing that the three of them had finished watching it, Zhang Ran asked with a smile, "What do you think of this song?"

The three of them said in unison, "Great, really good!" Who wrote this song?"

Zhang Ran has always been thick-skinned, but no matter how thick-skinned he is, he is embarrassed to say that I wrote it in front of the original author, and this bit of shame is still there. He didn't go back to the question, but said: "That's right, I'm planning to make a movie called "The Aviator", which is a movie about dreams. This song is the theme song of the movie, I need a singer to perform this song, a friend recommended you to me, I want to invite you to sing this song this time!"

Su Duo and the three of them were like ducks with their necks pinched, their eyes widened, staring at Zhang Ran so hard that they couldn't say a word. Ask us to sing, how is that possible? I'm not dreaming!

Zhang Ran drank coffee with a smile, he already knew what effect his words would have on a newly formed band. With Zhang Ran's current fame and the funds in his hands, he can sing this song with the best singer, but he is still willing to hand it over to the newly established GALA band, because this song originally belonged to them.

"Director Zhang. Su Duo's voice trembled slightly, and there was a flush of excitement on his face, but there was more real apprehension in his expression. "You're not kidding, are you?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "It's not a joke, I'm very busy preparing for the movie, how can I have time to joke!"

Sudo nodded silently, their band had just been formed for a few days. is not famous in the circle at all. Zhang Ran is the most popular young director in China, how could he come to joke with a little person like himself! The three of them looked at each other, and a light of surprise appeared in their eyes, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

After the surprise, Su Duo said with some confusion: "Director Zhang." May I ask, why did you choose us to sing? With your fame, you could have found a better singer!"

Zhang Ran naturally wouldn't say that this song was originally yours, I just let them return to their original owners, and said with a smile: "It's a kind of fate, I think you are quite suitable, it's as simple as that!"

Sudo and they were dumbfounded, isn't this a bit of a joke?

Zhang Ran looked at Su Duo and said with a faint smile: "How about it, are you willing to sing?"

It's pie in the sky. How could they refuse a good thing that they couldn't dream of! Su Duo's face was overflowing with excitement, he clenched his fists tightly, and said excitedly: "Yes, of course I am willing!"

Zhang Ran had a smile in his eyes: "This song is an important publicity point for our film, when the time comes, I will cut some clips from the movie into an MV, wait until the beginning of November to release this new song, and then use the Internet, radio, TV and other platforms to promote and hit the charts, and achieve good results in the major authoritative music charts, no matter to you." It's still good publicity for the movie, and I'm sure it's going to be a successful collaboration!"

Gala is working on their own album right now, and they want to make a music video as well, but a small band like them. How is it possible to have the money to shoot an MV. A slightly more sophisticated MV costs hundreds of thousands, so much money, they can't cry. They never dreamed that Zhang Ran not only gave them a song, but also a MV, and this MV was cut by Zhang Ran himself!

I'm not really dreaming!

Now. Sudo and the three of them suspected that it was a dream, and began to pinch their arms, and all three of them bared their teeth in pain because of the exertion.

It's true, it's not a dream! Oh my God!

Su Duo stood up, held Zhang Ran's hand and said excitedly: "Director Zhang, thank you for giving us this precious opportunity, I promise you that we will definitely sing this song well and will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"

"No need to thank anyone, I chose you because I believe you have this strength. You just need to show all your strength and perform this song well, it's a win-win for us!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"We won't let you down!" all three members of Gala nodded solemnly,

At this moment, Zhang Ran's mobile phone rang suddenly, an unfamiliar phone number. Zhang Ran said to Su Duo and connected the phone.

A familiar voice came, and it turned out to be Park Zhenghuan from South Korea: "Director Zhang, I'm Park Zhenghuan, I don't know when you're free, I want to meet you!"

Zhang Ran was a little strange, Park Zhenghuan was looking for himself, wouldn't he want to ask when the later stage of "Time and Space Warrior" would be completed? This must be too anxious! He laughed and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Park, I may be very busy for others, but Mr. Park is always available when I come, I don't know what you are looking for me?"

Park Zhenghuan laughed when he heard Zhang Ran give himself face like this: "Director Zhang, you are really a friend." That's right, I watched "Heartbreaker", I liked it very much, and I want to buy the Korean distribution rights of this movie!"

Zhang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Mr. Park, you are really well-informed! In this way, you come to Tiangong at three o'clock in the afternoon, and by the way, I will let you see the post-production of "Time and Space Warrior"!"

Park Zheng said happily: "That's great, I'll be on time at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran couldn't help laughing, movies with a theme like "Sadder" have almost no market in Europe and the United States, and it is difficult to sell, but it is particularly popular in East Asia. Audiences in East Asia are more emotional, and this kind of particularly touching and sensational movies are very enjoyable, such as "Loyal Dog Hachiko", which is praised as a god film by many audiences in China, but it has not been released in North America, and it is directly released on DVD.

Zhang Ran originally planned to wait for the release of the movie and ask Ning Hao to send the film to the Fantasy Film Festival to sell it to Japanese and Korean film dealers, but he didn't expect the Korean film dealers to come to the door by themselves. (To be continued.) )
