Chapter 20 Casting

"Teachers, you are all my seniors, I know that you are all professors who are willing to deign to come to the crew, but I, Zhou Yang, still thank you for your support, the crew of "Crazy Stone" is established, I salute you, I hope that our film can be filmed smoothly!"

After the greetings, everyone sat down, and Zhou Yang took the initiative to stand up and toast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He will be the director of this movie, that is, the person who calls the shots, but without the support of these people, he will lead a fart.

"Well said!"

"Please!"

is the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, seeing that Zhou Yang, a young director, can put his posture so low, he is naturally very face-saving, and he raised his glass and touched it.

After all, the director is the boss of a crew, and they can't rely too much on the old and sell the old, and there is still a Tong Geng staring.

After they drank for three rounds, everyone began to discuss the crew's affairs.

"Director, when will our crew start filming?"

Teacher He, the producer, looked at Zhou Yang and asked.

"At present, the crew has been established, and it can basically be started, just the procedures and casting, the approval of radio and television will take a little time to come down, and the casting will also take a little time, I initially estimated that it will take more than ten days, so I plan to officially start shooting in Yudu on May 26!"

Zhou Yang has calculated, this should be the earliest time to start up.

If you want to make a movie, it's not that simple, the procedures for radio and television are a big trouble, and there is also the selection of actors, and the selection of actors is not a sloppy matter.

"I've read the script, I'm afraid that if you want to go to the crew, you have to go to Yudu to shoot, right?" Producer Gu Yue said.

"The background of our script is Yudu, we must go to Yudu!"

Zhou Yang nodded.

"The overhead for this is likely to increase!" The producer, Teacher He, squinted slightly.

"Mr. He, we asked you to be the production director, we just believe in you, as long as the expenses are reasonable, even if it is to increase the investment, I will complete this shooting!" Zhou Yang said firmly.

"Then we'll be relieved!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

……

In the evening, the initial meeting of the crew of "Crazy Stone" had a very smooth meal, and after eating and drinking, they dispersed, leaving Zhou Yang, Professor Tong, and Tang Ye in the box.

"Professor, the student is bothering you this time!"

Zhou Yang looked at Professor Tong with some guilt, he knew that for this crew, Professor Tong had taken a lot of favors.

In this circle, favors are very precious.

Professor Tong is purely helping him.

"Zhou Yang, they are actually good people, if you use them well, this movie can do its best in terms of shooting!" Professor Tong said: "As for whether it can be a big sale, it depends on whether the audience accepts it!" ”

"Don't worry, Professor, I'll use them well!" Zhou Yang nodded, he was confident in "Crazy Stone", as long as the essence of the filming was filmed, it would definitely be a big hit.

"Let's talk about the script!"

Professor Tong is very dedicated, he began to open the script, and discussed each role with Zhou Yang: "I have studied these characters in detail these days, and I am shocked that you are a screenwriter, and every character can make up a character......

Zhou Yang was quietly listening to Professor Tong's comments.

After reviewing the script, it's a matter of characters.

"First of all, the role of Bao Shihong, I have been thinking about it for a long time, I recommend using Fan Hao!" Professor Tong said.

"Fan Hao?"

Zhou Yang squinted slightly.

"This is Fan Hao's information, I feel that his temperament, age and appearance characteristics are the most suitable for this role, although he is only a third-tier now, but after all, we are a small-budget movie, he should be able to support this scene!" Professor Tong said.

The stars of this world are not the same as those on the earth, and the stars on the earth are a little blurred in the boundaries of the first, second, and third lines, but in fact, they are basically just big names and small roles.

But Huaguo's stars have a clear dividing line.

This is the star level promulgated by the official authority on the official website of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the recognition rate in the entertainment industry is 99%, and the public recognition is at least 90% or more.

People are always a little crazy chasing stars, they only see their own star, and they like to step on others, so the recognition is naturally a little unwise.

Celebrities include many entertainment stars, sports stars, literary stars, and Internet celebrities...... And so on, these are all among the stars.

The biggest key to the scoring criteria is popularity.

And a star's portfolio, exposure, fan cohesion, word-of-mouth moral evaluation, and potential evaluation are all factors in the rating of these stars.

The standard for celebrities to go online is four lines.

To become a star, at least above the standard of the fourth line, outside the fourth line, is basically an extra.

Zhou Yang used to be a fourth-tier artist, but because of the scandal, his popularity plummeted, and he was removed from the official website of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

The fourth line is the third line, the third line is a well-known star, with a certain degree of fan cohesion, and above the third line, there is a second-line star, which is the structural backbone of the entertainment industry.

In the entertainment industry, there is not enough influence under the third line, there are not many first-line celebrities above, and second-tier stars are the ones who support the entire entertainment market.

Above the second line, they are naturally the first-line big names, and when they reach the first line, their popularity is at least nationwide, and each of them is a big name.

Above the line is the king and queen.

Any king and queen are piled up with works and trophies, there is no luck, it is difficult to achieve this point if you are on the top for a while, and you can become a star at this level, they are all household names and popular all over the country.

Above the king and queen, there is only one, international superstar.

Since the development of the Chinese entertainment industry, there are actually only a handful of stars who can reach the level of this international superstar, after all, it is not a simple matter for a star to expand his influence abroad.

Zhou Yang looked at Fan Hao's information, Fan Hao, a native of Sichuan, thirty-two years old, looks not very good, but the boxy face still has some temperament, not from a professional class, Ye Luzi, at the age of eighteen, he began to play tricks in Hengdian's film and television city, and was valued by a director at the age of twenty-five, starred in a supporting role, officially debuted, has no musical talent, has been mixed in this film and television circle for seven years, and now he is only mixed to the third-tier intermediate level.

However, looking at his face, Zhou Yang felt that he was on par with Guo Tao, who originally played this role.

"How good is his acting skills?"

"I think it's okay!" Professor Tong said: "He is an old actor, from the beginning of the extras to the present, he has been tossing in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, although he is not from a professional class, but the level is still good, even better than many second-tier and first-line celebrities today, but he is not very lucky, and he has no chance to get ahead!" ”

Sometimes luck is very important in the entertainment industry, if you are lucky, a work will reach the sky, but if you are unlucky, you will be in a supporting role for more than ten years and have acted in countless movies.

"And what about his salary? Third-tier stars, not low! ”

"I will discuss it with his agent, his popularity has dropped a little recently, although this film is only a small production, but his role is No. 1 after all, there should be some affection, and he will not open his mouth!"

Professor Tong said: "I am sure of this, I can still do the job of an assistant director!" ”

"Professor, this is condescension!"

Zhou Yang smiled.

If there is no Professor Tong, it will take at least half a year for his crew to start, although Professor Tong is down, but after all, he is a great director, and it is naturally overkill to be an assistant director for him.

"Hehe, in fact, it's not condescension, you are my student, I help my own student, assist you, and it's not a shame to be your deputy and pass it out!"

Professor Tong said: "There is another reason, I haven't made a movie for many years, and I can't leave my hands and mouths, if you let me hold the banner now, I may not be able to do better than you!" ”

He thought clearly, after ten years of silence, he can't let go after all, and returning to the director world in this capacity may be the best opportunity for him Tong Geng.

"What about the rest of the characters?" Zhou Yang asked.

"Tang Ye plays the black skin!"

"Don't worry, professor, this is my screen debut, and I will definitely perform it well!" Tang Ye said confidently.

"As for the rest of the people, I plan to use them in the school to find a few newcomers, the role of Feng Dong is not easy to control, I haven't thought about it yet, but my goal is a fourth-tier star who is not very famous, after all, we are small costs and can't afford to use big roles!" Professor Tong said.

"Good!"

Zhou Yang nodded, Professor Tong was much better than him in this regard: "The matter of casting is troublesome to the professor!" ”
