Chapter 277: Selected
"Director Lin, how is it, have you made a decision?"
More than an hour has passed, and today's auditions have all been completed, and Su Youpeng also auditioned twice, and the second time was Lin Jingyu.
Lin Feng was still thinking about the scene just now in his mind, came back to his senses, picked up Su Youpeng's information, flipped to that page, looked at it carefully, and said, "I really didn't expect Su Youpeng to be so... Handsome! ”
Lin Feng didn't know what words to use to describe the Su Youpeng he saw just now.
"Since Director Lin has no opinion, then the role of Lin Jingyu will be handed over to Su Youpeng, and when filming, just follow the appearance just now." Li Mu said with a smile.
Originally, Li Mu asked him to put on makeup again because he was worried that he was almost forty years old now and would not be able to play the handsome young man he was back then.
But I didn't expect the company's makeup artist to be so powerful, it really deserves to be one of the "four great inventions in Asia", the effect of makeup is exactly the same as on the poster, and there is no trace of too much makeup on the face, it is completely a handsome boy over eighteen years old.
Li Mu can pat his chest and say that Su Youpeng's appearance just now can definitely kill 99% of the small fresh meat in China, even if it is the beautiful little fresh meat that returned from South Korea later, it can't be compared.
"Okay!" Lin Feng nodded, "I don't think anyone is more suitable than him, but what about the person we decided before?" ”
Li Mu frowned, some of the main supporting roles in "Zhu Xian" had already finished auditioning, but they had not yet been notified of the results, and they were going to wait for tomorrow to notify them together.
Although the results have not yet come out, many people in the company know about it, and maybe someone has told the news to the selected actors for a little benefit.
This kind of thing is actually very common everywhere, even if Li Mu can trust the employees of the crew around him, but the hundreds of people in the company will inevitably have people who are greedy for that little profit.
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, the results haven't been announced yet, even if they know that they have been replaced, they can still blame me if they are not as strong as others!" ”
Lin Feng nodded, not to mention that he hadn't been notified yet, even before signing the contract, anything could change, as for what the actor had to complain about, what did they do.
Li Mu said again, "Zhang Xiaofan, let Chen Kun act, Director Lin also saw the performance just now, whether it is Zhang Xiaofan or Ghost Li, Chen Kun is very suitable, Zhong Hanliang still has to be almost meaningful!" ”
Lin Feng had no objection to this, and nodded in agreement.
To be honest, Li Mu was not very optimistic about Chen Kun, maybe his acting skills are the best among these people, but his hesitant temperament can still act as a ghost, and it is a little inappropriate to put it on Zhang Xiaofan.
But in the end, Chen Kun gave him a big surprise, and he switched perfectly between the two images of Zhang Xiaofan and Ghost Li.
If Zhang Xiaofan and Ghost Li played by Zhong Hanliang are two completely different people, then Chen Kun's Ghost Li has the shadow of Zhang Xiaofan, they are still one person in essence, but they have experienced more.
From simple to complex, from inferiority, honesty to self-confidence and maturity.
Ghost Li has never been a so-called devil, he has his own bottom line in everything he does, just like what he said to Xiaobai: I have never killed innocents indiscriminately.
This sentence was given to him by his master and brother when Zhang Xiaofan was apprenticed, and he has kept it in his heart for more than ten years, no matter what situation he encountered, he did it.
"Today's trip was not in vain, I can't help but find a suitable actor, and there is a perfect Lin Jingyu!" Li Mu smiled, obviously in a good mood, "Remember to send an email to inform them in the afternoon, there are some other supporting roles, try to sign the contract tomorrow!" ”
"How is the crew formed, have all the people been adjusted?" Li Mu said to Li Hang again.
"The two crews are ready, and I will also talk about the location, everything is ready, and we can shoot directly when the time comes." Li Hang said.
"Hmm." Li Mu nodded, the production department's movements were still very fast.
Unlike most directors in the domestic entertainment industry, the preparation for filming in Li Mu here does not need the director to worry about anything except casting, and the production department will prepare everything before the start of filming, whether it is various equipment, crew members, studio construction, exterior locations, props and costumes or even lunch boxes, the director only needs to go over and start filming directly.
In this way, the actors are auditioning here, and everything is already ready there, which can save a lot of time.
However, everything is still based on the director's opinion, and the directors who do not do well there and do not like it have the right to change it, without weakening their rights in the slightest, just to free them from these tedious little things and concentrate on their own business.
After saying hello to them, Li Mu left the company and drove to the PO Chaoting Jingcheng branch in Chaoyang District.
In addition to the special effects of the two movies "Looking for the Dragon" and "Zhu Xian", he has another very important thing.
Of course, I went to a special effects company to do special effects, but this time the special effects are extraordinary, and it is a fully computer-produced movie like "Avatar".
At the beginning, Cameron's "Avatar" took several years from pre-preparation to post-production.
Although 3D technology is becoming more and more developed, and domestic special effects companies are willing to spend money, the effect is no worse than that of Hollywood.
Not to mention that it is impossible for others to work overtime for you day and night in the United States, and there is never a shortage of people who are willing to work overtime in China.
But even then, it would take at least two years to make a film that was entirely computer-made.
Two years, seven hundred and thirty days, forty-three thousand eight hundred hours.
From graphic design, modeling, compositing and editing to 3D special effects, there are thousands of technicians involved in cutouts, beautification, color grading, tracking, and so on.
That's right, a fully computer-generated 3D movie like this uses thousands of people.
Of course, there are not so many people in just one PO Chaoting, they just outsource the most tedious model production to other small and medium-sized special effects companies and studios.
This is also the norm in the industry, after all, the technical content of model making is relatively low, but it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, according to the drawings they provide, just draw the scoop according to the gourd.
Most of the small special effects companies in China, including Hollywood, rely on the outsourcing business of some large companies to survive.
