Chapter 166: His Journey Is the Whole World (Part II)
"Romeo and Juliet" is less than 60,000 words, and the characters who appear plus passers-by will be fifty people, because of the call of Dean Wen, supplemented by Liu Jingting's weak influence, as soon as the opening ceremony of the college ended, sixty or seventy students signed up.
Liu Jingting hospifully took out his notebook to make statistics, and then told everyone to start determining the actors at three o'clock in the afternoon.
When the meeting ended, Yang Lilu, Lin Xun, and Xu Yuan came to find Liu Jingting and went to the canteen to eat together. ”
Liu Jingting said with a smile: "This is better, the angry soldiers will win, do you want to call Lao Dai?"
"No," Xu Yuan shook his phone, "he would text a girl in the class to invite him to dinner and ask about computer problems." ”
"Good typical dating excuse. ”
Xu Yuan said: "Lao Dai is a typical geek, it is said that in the freshman programming competition, he surpassed the second place for a full two minutes. ”
"I'm an idiot about computers, is two minutes a long time?"
"Depending on what you say, two minutes can paralyze a city's network, two minutes can change $100 million for an account, and two minutes is a long time in the world of programming. ”
"No wonder the ancients said that masters have few words, and I should learn from Lao Dai. ”
"Actually, you don't talk much, unless it's a topic that interests you very much, like your speech at today's opening ceremony. ”
Liu Jingting smiled and said, "Because I ......"
"Liu Jingting!"
Before Liu Jingting could finish speaking, a voice interrupted halfway, and all four of them turned their heads to look behind them in unison, and found a girl wearing a navy blue cloth hat standing not far away, her eyes almost completely covered.
Liu Jingting pointed to himself and asked, "Call me?"
The girl walked in front of Liu Jingting in a few steps. said: "Otherwise, who else is called Liu Jingting?"
"Are you signing up?"
"No, or yes, but I didn't sign up to be an actor, I signed up to be a director. ”
"Director?"
"Yes. ”
"Well, director, I'd like to try it myself. ”
"Screenwriter and director are completely different jobs, you should know this?"
"Clear, that's why I said I want to try, after all, no one knows this script better than I think. ”
"Then I'll be the executive producer. The girl said unquestioningly.
"Well, first of all I want to know who you are ......"
"Kang Lingyue. ”
"The daughter of Director Kang and Dean Wen. Senior Sister Kang Lingyue?"
"I'm four months younger than you, you're welcome. ”
Liu Jingting corrected: "The daughter of Director Kang and Dean Wen, Kang Lingyue?"
Xu Yuan and Lin Xun habitually looked at each other and smiled, and Yang Lilu said expressionlessly: "Flim tongue." ”
Kang Lingyue didn't pay attention to his sense of humor, and directly confessed: "I want to run for the freshman counselor of the Academy of Literature and Art." But my book was killed by Dean Wen.,That is to say, it was compared to your script.。 So I can only settle for the next best thing to come to you as a producer. ”
"You don't have to be so wronged. In fact, it is not necessary to have the position of producer to do dramas. ”
"What do you mean, Liu Jingting, you have already won my script, what else do you want? Don't deceive people too much, I sue you, what about my father's pen?"
Liu Jingting had long heard that Director Kang had a daughter whose IQ broke through the sky, and now she is indeed very smart to use the method of pointing fingers to supervise this position. But how can you really communicate and still seem so arrogant?
It seems that the inverse ratio between EQ and IQ is really an irrefutable truth.
"Okay, let's talk about the work of the producer first. ”
"Pick the actors, apply for the scheduling of props and costumes. Arrange rehearsal time and confront the director!" Kang Lingyue replied in one go, but the last four words startled Liu Jingting.
"Yes, against the director?"
"Yes, to prevent any idiotic actions and stupid tricks of you, I will point them out and argue with you. ”
Liu Jingting glanced at Xu Yuan and Lin Xun, the little couple nodded sympathetically, and then looked at Yang Lilu, but unexpectedly, the half-immortal was watching him being abused.
"That's right," Liu Jingting decided to fight alone, "Conceptually speaking, you are correct, but you didn't talk about the essence of the problem, to be a producer, the first step is to understand the script, understand the ins and outs of the whole story, and grasp the core of the story." ”
"Romeo and Juliet, with the background of an aristocratic family in ancient Italy, tells a life and death love story, involving the grievances of wealthy families, and the fighting of weapons, the tone is lyrical, and the atmosphere is romantic and poignant," Kang Lingyue said this, took out his mobile phone, and handed it to Liu Jingting, "Here is my costume and related props concept, and I have packaged and sent a copy to your mailbox." ”
Liu Jingting took it and was taken aback, Kang Lingyue turned out to be the same as Qiao Keli, she was still a master of painting.
"I have designed six sets of Juliet's costumes for you to choose from, the styles range from noble to simple, Romeo's five sets, if you look suitable, I can get them all within three days, as for the key props in the play such as the wooden building and the background canvas, I am designing, it is estimated that it will be completed within a week, and the finished product will be available in half a month, but to do this, I need an identity. ”
In fact, the problem of props and costumes has been bothering Liu Jingting, according to his original ending method, he threw these to Li Yile, but it has been two days since the start of school, Li Yile has not contacted him, time is pressing, he is ready to report to Dean Wen, but unexpectedly, he killed Dean Wen's daughter halfway.
"You need executive producer status?"
"Yes, as long as you agree, you don't have to worry about these things, you just need to rehearse in peace. ”
Liu Jingting suddenly thought of another thing and asked, "These are all designed by yourself, Producer Kang?"
Yang Lilu glanced at Liu Jingting with disdain, Xu Yuan and Lin Xun smiled, as soon as the three words "Kang Supervisor" came out, even if Kang Lingyue's identity was finalized.
"You don't have to worry about this," Kang Lingyue's face showed the joy of the victor, "Anyway, ensure that the supply is timely, okay, call or WC contact, Director Liu." ”
After Kang Lingyue finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving the four of them with a free and easy back.
Liu Jingting smiled inexplicably and said, "Let's go, let's eat." ”
……
When the actors were selected in the afternoon, Kang Lingyue arrived before Liu Jingting, still white sneakers, gray and white cropped pants with a red T-shirt, the brim was slightly raised, and a pair of eyes could finally see clearly.
"Hi. ”
"Hi. ”
After a brief greeting, there was no superfluous communication, and the students who signed up arrived one after another.
"Weed out the students who were late first. Kang Lingyue said.
"Agreed. ”
The casting for Romeo and Juliet has officially begun.
At this time, Liu Jingting's experience of "mixing" the crew of "Huanzhu Gege", and the experience learned from director Li Tan finally began to play a role, because the hero and heroine have been decided, and Kang Lingyue is very familiar with the script, so the process of selecting actors is not difficult, and at about seven o'clock in the evening, the fifty important supporting roles and sets are basically determined.
Despite this, Liu Jingting still felt dizzy, and in his free time, he sent a text message to Gong Chengen: "I only found out today how painful it is to choose actors. ”
Gong Chengen quickly replied, "Any hints of happiness?"
This is an old stalk of "choosing actors", which is related to the unspoken rules, and Liu Jingting replied with the word "hehe".
"When I go back in the evening, I will send the script to your respective mailboxes, and everyone will strive to memorize their lines in the shortest possible time, and they will officially rehearse tomorrow, and there will be a small reward for students who can rehearse without the script within three days. ”
Kang Lingyue entered the role of producer faster than Liu Jingting imagined, but she used "small rewards" to encourage these college students, is it really okay?
"Liu Jingting, do you have anything to say?"
After Producer Kang finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Liu Jingting, Liu Jingting put a signboard on his face and smiled modestly, and said: "Please fully believe me, we must go to London and the United States, I fully believe in everyone, let's work together!"
"Are you Liu Qi who wrote "Huanzhu Gege"?"
Suddenly a girl in the team asked.
"Yes. ”
"The drama is good, can you recommend going to Xingyue to act in a TV series?"
"Absolutely. ”
Liu Jingting suddenly understood one thing, it turned out that the reason why these students were so active was that there was such a reason, it seemed that he was underestimating his own influence.
"If you don't go to Chengxingyue, Ocean TV also welcomes everyone. ”
A boy standing in the front row suddenly answered with a smile. (To be continued......)
