Chapter 13: The Heroes of the Tower
Early the next morning, Zhou Yi and his sister finished breakfast, packed their things, and prepared to send them home. The roommates also have to go home separately, and then wait for the results of the college entrance examination, and it is estimated that there will be no problem. Everyone knows each other's mobile phone numbers, and they can usually contact each other with their mobile phones. When Zheng Longshi participates, everyone will definitely support, and Zhou Yi will try to find time.
The roommates who have been sleeping together for three years will finally have to go their separate ways, and the schools they will attend in the future will be different, but everyone's friendship will not change.
Wang Xiaoshuai has a guaranteed quota and will definitely go to Tsinghua University.
With Wu Xuehua's results, there is no problem to go to Yan University.
Zheng Longshi discussed with his family, and under the introduction of Mr. Lan of the music club, he had already met with Professor Ruan of the Central Conservatory of Music, and the interview situation was very ideal, as long as the college entrance examination results came out, he could go to the Central Conservatory of Music.
This is a typical voice that determines the future, and others can't envy it.
Zhou Yi naturally wanted to accompany his sister to Yanying to study and officially start her acting career.
My sister's three roommates have all applied for good schools, and they have good grades and should be able to get in. At dinner yesterday, the little girl Ding Lili also joked that if she couldn't find a job in the future, she would come to join Brother Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi laughed and expressed infinite welcome.
The door of due east is always open to students.
Especially beautiful female classmates, it is good to be in the company as a vase to attract eyes.
Wu Xuehua and Wang Xiaoshuai were still joking at the time: What job will you find in the future? Just come to the boss and ask for support.
The little girls were lightly angry and angry, laughing and scolding angrily. In fact, they are really interested, but they still have to go to college seriously.
Tang Yan was speechless at the time, and she was really embarrassed.
For now, this is the future of the roommates.
After talking to his roommates for a while, Zhou Yi took his sister and said goodbye to everyone and left the high school where he had studied for three years. Dormitories, classrooms, libraries, clubs, and cafeterias are all places that make for many unforgettable and precious memories. Leaving the school, the brother and sister have thoughts surging up, and their mood is inevitably a little melancholy, but people have to look forward after all. The future awaits them.
Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted her reluctant mood, and said with a smile: "We will come back to see it in the future." ”
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Then we have to wait until we become famous." Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. ”
"Brother, you are really ...... Did you come back just to show off? ”
"Just kidding. Haha, our alma mater will be proud of us after all. ”
"Hee-hee! That's pretty much it. ”
"We filmed the TV series during the holidays, and then went to school in Yanying."
"Okay! Brother! ”
Zhou Yi helped his sister salute and raised his hand to call a taxi.
"Let's go home!"
"Brother, you don't have to wear sunglasses? Be careful to be recognized. ”
"Haha!"
Zhou Yi laughed: My sister is getting more and more funny and joking. This is a good sign.
The driver really didn't recognize this "big star". It's hard to recognize without makeup. In his previous life, Liu Qingyun was so distinctive, he would not be recognized by reporters when he bought vegetables in the market. It is even more difficult for Zhou Yi to be recognized, unless he is standing next to the poster.
Talking and laughing along the way, the brother and sister soon returned home.
My uncle and aunt had received a call earlier and had been waiting at home.
They were happy to see the children come back.
Help the two brothers and sisters put things away, and the uncle and aunt simply asked about the college entrance examination, and everyone chatted for a while.
The two siblings are full of confidence, reassuring their uncles and aunts that there will be no problems in the college entrance examination.
The uncle and aunt were not worried, knowing that they were still going to film during the holidays, and asked them about their plans in the near future.
Next, Zhou Yi and his sister will definitely report to the crew.
Uncle and aunt were helpless. When a child is so young, he has to start a busy career. has just finished the college entrance examination, and is about to join the crew, and it is estimated that some of them will be busy during the holidays. Still, they were very happy for the brother and sister. With her brother taking care of her, at least Tang Yan's future is not a problem, and it is destined to be smooth sailing, so there is really no need to worry. Although she has no parents to take care of her, Tang Yan is indeed much luckier than ordinary girls and can do what she likes.
The two brothers and sisters accompanied their uncle and aunt at home in the morning, prepared some daily necessities, and planned to report to the crew in the afternoon.
In this way, you can run in with the crew as much as possible.
Now that the college entrance examination is over, Zhou Yi naturally has time to deal with company affairs. Zhuo Qinglian would not disturb him to prepare for the exam before, but now he must not be allowed to continue to hide and relax, and the things that should be reported to him must be reported to him in time.
If you want to take a vacation, that's impossible. You are not tired from the college entrance examination. Who made you rush to film!
In the morning, Zhuo Qinglian deliberately passed the list of actors to Zhou Yi to see.
Now the film crew has finalized the list of actors.
Director Zhao is based on the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, and he is very satisfied with the careful selection of actors. Now we must let Zhou Yi understand the situation and see if there is any problem. Familiarize yourself with it in advance, so that it is easy to cooperate when the time comes.
The actors in the east are naturally Gao Song as the Black Demon Fox Zhihua, Zhou Yi as the Xiangyang King Zhao Jue, Zheng Zilong as the Patrol Qin Cha Yan Chasan, Lin Yan as the Qin Cha scholar Yumo, and Cheng Dakui as the God Hand Great Sage Deng Che.
The remaining main characters that need to be cast are: Bai Yutang, Xiao Zhuge Shen Zhongyuan, and Hua Butterfly Hua Chong.
These three roles are very important and must go through rigorous casting.
Other characters can relax the conditions a bit.
Subordinate characters: Wang Dong and Wang Liang brothers in the opening, the remaining four rats in the five rats that appeared later, Lu Fang, the drill mouse, Han Zhang, the gopher, Xu Qing, and Jiang Ping. There is also the little hero Ai Hu, the iron-faced King Kong Lan Xiao, and the manager Cui who has some scenes.
The role of the third gear: the third-handed general Cao Deyu, the Saifang Shuo Fang carving, a flower Miao Tianlu, the flying Yasha Chai Wen, and the sick Tai Sui Zhang Hua.
These roles are not considered the main characters, and they don't even require too strict auditions, and some characters just need to pass the play.
Zhou Yi's own scripts, carefully read the scripts rewritten by the screenwriter, and watched the movies in his previous life, he basically knew how many scenes these roles there were and what kind of actors he needed.
After receiving the information from Zhuo Qinglian, he used his laptop to look at it and was very satisfied with the casting.
Director Zhao's casting is indeed reassuring and very reliable.
Like the very important role of Bai Yutang, Director Zhao chose a young actor Shao Junjie. This actor was recommended by Wu Yuanshen, and he belongs to the same brokerage company, which is Dingxing Entertainment Performing Arts Agency Co., Ltd.
This is an emerging second-tier brokerage company with some reputation in the industry.
Shao Junjie is from a professional class, graduated from military arts, a handsome little guy, has a strong dance foundation, and there is no problem with filming. He just starred in a supporting role in a TV series, which is the TV series "Black Hole" starring Wu Yuanshen.
At present, his agency wants to arrange for him to develop in films, and it just so happens that there is a suitable role in Zhengdong, and "Five Poisons" has become famous in the industry again, so Wu Yuanshen recommended him to audition. Shao Junjie himself was willing to try, but was hit by Director Zhao. With his appearance, acting skills and skills, it is quite suitable to play the role of Bai Yutang, a brocade mouse.
And such a young actor has just debuted, and it is the time to become famous, and the salary is not high.
Zhengdong's films are still small-cost systems, of course, they will not give high salaries, they are all based on the principle of "those who are willing to take the bait", and carry forward the company's consistent stingy style. If you want to act, you can act, if you don't want someone else to replace you, no one is indispensable.
In these years, it's hard to find actors, and there is little fresh meat!
Didn't you see a boss like Zhou Yi, who only got a salary of 5,000 yuan this time?
This is not bad, the status in the industry has improved rapidly, and it is ten times the salary of the previous film.
In terms of salary, Dingxing Brokerage did not care.
What other brokerage companies value is not that little salary, but they want to make their artists famous and test the water in the film industry first. Shao Junjie is an idol newcomer praised by their company. If it can really become popular, the advertising will be enough for the company to earn in the future, who cares about that salary?
In the last play, Wu Yuanshen of Dingxing joined, Zhengdong and Dingxing cooperated happily, and this drama can naturally continue to cooperate.
For this candidate, Zhou Yi is very satisfied. The specific situation is stated in the information.
Then there is the role of Xiao Zhuge Shen Zhongyuan, originally Director Zhao wanted to invite Wu Yuanshen to play, but the crew didn't have so much salary budget, and they couldn't afford to hire Wu Yuanshen, so it was impossible to always give people a low salary. Especially after Wu Yuanshen finished performing "Five Poison Gate", his fame has increased a lot, and his worth has risen. Besides, the role of Shen Zhongyuan is not the absolute protagonist, there are not too many outstanding places, and Wu Yuanshen may not be willing to play it at a low price.
However, making movies is not something that can be done without anyone, and you can make it like other actors.
Among the many second-tier artists who came to audition, there were really suitable actors.
An actor named Pang Guobin was caught by Director Zhao's insight.
Pang Guobin was recommended by Zhengdong's partner Gryphon Media, he is in his 30s, similar to Gao Song, and his national skills are okay, but his appearance is not outstanding enough, and he has not been popular, and he has played gold medal supporting roles in some TV series directed by Wan.
This time, the TV drama crew did not have a suitable role for him, after all, he was indeed a little old, and boys naturally did not have his share in playing. In a youth campus idol drama like Gong Dou, which focuses on girls, his appearance characteristics are not distinctive enough, and it is difficult to shine.
But he has a calm temperament, unpretentious acting skills, low-key and introverted, and has his own style characteristics.
Boss Huang had an idea, so he sent him to his partner's film crew to try out the play to see if there was a suitable role. Boss Huang knows that Zhengdong's film crew is also short of people, so maybe there is a real opportunity.
As a result, through the audition, Director Zhao felt that Pang Guobin had no problem playing Xiao Zhuge Shen Zhongyuan. Such an actor has a calm temperament and enough national skills to play this role well. So the role was officially finalized.
Zhuo Qinglian chatted with Zhou Yi and introduced some specific situations to him.
She is staring at these things in the company and knows them very well.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh that the relationship in the industry is so important.
If nothing else, let's just say that these two roles are castings on the surface, but if you look closely, they are all introduced by related households. Wu Yuanshen recommended Shao Junjie on behalf of Dingxing Brokerage, and Boss Huang recommended Pang Guobin on behalf of Gryphon Media, are there any pure outsiders? No! They are all related households. If you don't have a backstage, can you compete with them alone? Even if your acting skills are slightly stronger than theirs, it doesn't work. Unless your strength is far superior to theirs, you are not a loss to the crew, and the price is cheaper. But there are too few in the industry in that special case.
Basically, the casting of film and television dramas relies on usual cooperation to pull relationships, and it will only be useful at critical moments.
You go to the audition on your own, and there is no chance of choosing.
Of course, priority should be given to the candidates introduced by partners, after all, they will have to cooperate often in the future. That's just the way it goes. With Director Zhao's usual sleek style of dealing with people, he will definitely consider these aspects and will not lose face.
The last important role, Flower Butterfly Hua Chong, is played by Lu Yifeng.
This actor was also recommended by a relation, and he was an old relational of the former Aurora Pictures.
Lu Yifeng was originally a signed artist of a small third-tier company, Reef Pictures, and he was still the top brand. In the past, this company cooperated with the former Aurora Pictures, and when the former Aurora Pictures made blockbusters, they borrowed actors, so Lu Yifeng and Director Zhao had a cooperative relationship. Of course, the blockbuster film failed, the actors didn't become popular, and they have been standing up half-dead, not as good as Gao Song.
However, recently Reef Pictures was also acquired and renamed New Castle Pictures.
Although the name of the company has been changed, all the management has been retained, and the related accounts are naturally still there, and the boss is an acquaintance in the industry, not a layman. It's just that their company has just completed the acquisition, and it is also a little turbulent, and it is still in the run-in stage, and there is no suitable film and television investment project for the time being, and it is impossible to quickly make several high-quality film and television drama projects like Zhou Yi.
When it comes to real money, everyone is afraid of losing money!
Without a large enough probability of profit, who would dare to enter the market lightly? Project planning in the industry must be repeatedly calculated. Especially in second-tier companies, there are not many people who dare to plan film and television projects on their own, and many situations are uncertain. If you mess up a film, the company may collapse, and it will be difficult to turn over. The former Aurora Pictures is a good example of this. Therefore, there will always be people competing for investment in high-quality film and television drama projects, and there is no shortage of investors at all.
New Castle Pictures saw that the development of Zhengdong was good, and the recent success of "Five Poison Gate" was a big success, and there was news that a new film was about to start, anyway, they didn't have a film for the time being, so they sent Lu Yifeng here first to play a role, and they couldn't keep idle. Although Zhengdong's new film is still a low-cost system, there is no shortage of investment at present, and they can't join it, but it's no problem to stuff an actor.
As a pillar of the company, there is filming for the time being, as long as it can maintain some popularity.
has an old relationship in the past, and Zhengdong Pictures naturally can't help but give face. Especially when we have cooperated before, we have made blockbusters and made a lot of people, so we always have to compensate a little. In addition, Director Zhao is familiar with Lu Yifeng and recognizes his acting skills and skills, so this more brilliant and important role Hua Butterfly Hua Chong was handed over to Lu Yifeng to play.
Lu Yifeng also auditioned and is fully capable of playing the role of a flower butterfly.
In this way, the three main roles are determined.
Other roles are easier to handle. Like the other four rats in the five rats, because there are some acrobatic performance clips in the film, and there are also some tricky performances, especially the big break into the sky, some means require acrobatic skills, Director Zhao specially contacted a small local acrobatic troupe in Yanjing, outsourced these roles to this acrobatic troupe, and asked them to send four suitable acrobatic actors with good skills.
The former Aurora Pictures and this small acrobatic troupe called "Venus" have a cooperative relationship, and they know each other well, no problem.
In addition to performing by itself, this small acrobatic troupe often takes on some acrobatic performances in film and television dramas, which is quite powerful.
After receiving this film and television drama role outsourcing business, the Venus Acrobatic Troupe quickly reached a cooperation with Zhengdong, and several actors sent were recognized by Director Zhao, and the children of the head of the Venus Acrobatic Troupe had just graduated from Chinese opera and wanted to enter the showbiz and did not want to take over the work of the acrobatic troupe. Head Jin wants to find a role for the child in this play, the salary doesn't matter, zero salary is no problem.
Director Zhao thought about it for a while, and gave him the role of Xiaoxia Ai Hu.
This role has a nail board scene, and ordinary actors may not be able to play it well, so it really needs such an actor with acrobatic performance experience and a professional background to perform. Rolling on the ground with a pegboard and being kicked around is not so easy to act. However, the head of the regiment named Jin Chaoqun was confident that he could play this role well, so he took over this role.
This is the benefit of having relationships in the industry, as soon as you graduate, it is easy to play some movie roles without having to wait.
And his audition form is really good, he completely passed, at least better than the actors in the old films in his previous life, and his performance will not be so stiff and expressionless. After all, he was born in a Chinese opera class, and there is no problem with his acting skills.
The role is likewise official.
Director Rong is addicted to a cameo, and this time he will continue to make a cameo appearance as the head of the palace.
Of course, the salary is very small, just to make him addicted to drama.
The rest of the roles are digested internally by the members of the Zhengdong Martial Arts Group, which can be regarded as a benefit to these behind-the-scenes personnel of the Martial Arts Group.
Recently, the company's martial arts group has recruited some personnel.
Obviously, Zhou Yi will focus on action movies in the future, and Director Zhao naturally knows that it is necessary to recruit some people. As long as this kind of thing is released in the industry, it is easy to recruit people, and it is not a difficult thing.
There are many martial artists who don't have jobs in the industry, and martial arts are learned, and their appearance is innate. Without good looks, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is useless. This is the entertainment industry, not the national art circle. That's the way it is, no one can do anything about it.
After the expansion of the martial arts group, it is more than enough to shoot these fighting scenes, and you can find out what kind of fighter you want.
In this way, the crew and actors are alive.
