Chapter 377 - Hitting People with Money
"Young actors, you always need to give him some time and opportunities to hone his acting skills. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info He has a good image, he also has understanding, and he is liked by young people, let's give him a chance, he can also pull some box office", the casting director told the truth.
In fact, the most sincere is the last sentence - driving the box office.
"So, between the box office and word of mouth, you have chosen the box office?" Gu Yuzhou asked.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of people on the scene, the male screenwriter would want to give her a thumbs up, this small question was too sharp.
The casting director smiled awkwardly and did not answer.
Gu Yuzhou didn't expect him to answer, and said to himself: "I don't care what you and the chief director think, as the original writer and screenwriter of the play, I just hope that what I have worked so hard to write can be perfectly conveyed to the audience, instead of relying on a face to trick the audience into going to the theater, and after staying up for an hour and a half to watch the movie, what I remember in the end is just a vase face!" β
"Xiao Gu, it's useless for you to have an opinion on the actor and tell me, I'll also tell you the truth, this casting, including the audition of the main actors, in fact, the chief director of the main actors has been decided, and I will be responsible for the selection of some supporting roles. If you have an opinion, it is better to tell the chief director directly, and don't waste time with me", said the casting director embarrassed.
Almost every crew has an assistant director who is responsible for casting, some directors will be very open-minded to hand over all this power to the casting director, and there are also directors like this crew who set the main actors, and the rest of the supporting roles are handed over to the casting director.
After all, Gu Yuzhou had participated in a TV series before, although it was a T drama, some things were similar, so she was not embarrassed to cast the director, and called the chief director in front of everyone.
She directly expressed her dissatisfaction with the male lead, and the chief director still wanted to prevaricate her, she said without giving in: "Director, you probably haven't seen Bai Shan and other actors who audition for the male lead actor, and now they are still there, you might as well come and see for yourself, maybe you will change your original mind."
The chief director couldn't resist her, and promised to come over immediately to watch the actor audition.
After the chief director came, Baishan and several other actors competing for the male lead tried the play again, and their acting skills were high, and the blind man would choose Baishan.
Gu Yuzhou looked at the chief director stubbornly, waiting for him to speak.
The chief director coughed lightly, "Xiao Gu, come here, let's talk alone."
Talk about it alone, who is afraid of whom!
The two of them went to the dressing room next door, and the chief director said straight to the point: "Xiao Gu, you are young and have no qualifications, you don't know many things in the film circle, I let you participate in the casting of the movie because of Mr. Yuan's face, you can learn more, and the final decision will be left to us more experienced old guys."
Gu Yuzhou smiled lightly, "I haven't made a movie, but I've seen a lot of movies, the movies are good and the movies are bad, and I can still see the acting skills of the actors." Director, let me ask you, do you want to make a pure box office movie that is inflated at the box office and is scolded to the point of blood, or do you want to make a word-of-mouth movie with good word-of-mouth and attendance? β
The chief director wanted to speak, Gu Yuzhou waved his hand with a unique momentum, and continued: "If it is the former, then I can only tell you that I will contact the film and television factory and ask them to choose the film director again." If it's the latter, then you'd better reconsider the choice of the leading actor."
The naked threat, the chief director's face turned green.
He is a famous director in the industry, and he was threatened by a little girl so unsympatheticly, if this matter is known to outsiders, how can he still mix in the circle.
"Xiao Gu, don't be too naΓ―ve, changing the director is not something that can be decided in one or two sentences", and the tone of the chief director was also very bad.
"As the main investor, do you welcome other investors to join? If someone or company is willing to invest money to shoot, does the investor have the right to decide who the director will be?! "If you can't say it directly, you can only use money to smash people.
Sure enough, this trick was good, and the chief director's face turned gray.
Of course, the film and television factory welcomes more investors to join, and the crew's funds are sufficient, so they will be able to play well in the selection of actors and post-publicity, which is also an aspect of ensuring the box office.
Film and television factories invest in filming so many movies and TV series every year, not every penny invested can be seen to be rewarded, and in the summary of each year, in fact, there is not much money.
Especially a movie like the one they are preparing to make now, in line with the call of the policy, it is considered a main theme movie, and compared with other commercial giants, it will definitely fall behind in terms of revenue.
Such movies rarely attract relatively large investors, and if someone or company is really willing to spend money into it, the film and television factory will certainly be happy to accept it.
Of course, it makes sense for them to give some power to investors in order to retain them.
"Director, you probably don't know very well, I have indeed made some money in the past two years of painting, not only that, but I also have a security company under my name, and there is no problem if I want to invest in shooting a main theme movie. I've seen your previous films, and they're pretty good, so if we can let go of your insistence, we can sit down and talk about the characters. If you still insist on your choice, then I'm sorry......"
This could not be said any more clearly.
The chief director was aggrieved and angry, and he muttered for a long time before squeezing out a sentence, "Okay, good, you are rich, you are the boss, you can do whatever you say!" β
After speaking, he left angrily, but Gu Yuzhou didn't laugh.
She offended the director, and if she wants to participate in the movie in the future, she will inevitably be blinded.
The chief director said a few words to the casting director before leaving, and the casting director also understood that Gu Yuzhou had won in this round of competition, so he consciously removed Baishan from the list and chose the same actor as Gu Yuzhou and the male screenwriter.
When the actor is decided, the other roles are relatively much easier.
Gu Yuzhou participated in the casting when he was filming the comic T drama, and he also thought that this work was very interesting, and he didn't have anything to do when he went home anyway, so it was better to stay and continue to watch the actor audition.
The enthusiasm of the male screenwriter is also very high, and the two continue to watch the audition, but rarely express their opinions, and the final choice is still in the hands of the casting director.
Everything went smoothly in the front, and it wasn't until the last audition for the negative female character that a big accident happened.
Gu Yuzhou looked at the No. 2 auditioning actor for this role, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
