The filming of this TV series, what makes Levy the happiest may be the actor.

After rejecting Clark's request for Hulai, Levy still handed over the casting to him. There are only a few people under his command who can use it, and time is short, so he can't do everything by himself. Clark went to find the actors, Bob took the screenwriter and began to plan the script, and he, together with Michael, rushed to their rented studio, where various plans were carried out, so a lot of the casting of the actors still had to be handed over to Clark, who had the talent in this area, but it was not so reassuring.

However, the actor Clark is looking for is good enough, although he has expressed his yearning for sofa auditions many times when he used to speak, but when he actually works, Clark is still meticulous.

"First of all, we need someone who is the central figure, which is a night supervisor." For casting, he also discussed with Levy before, "This person's plot setting requires strong professional knowledge, business talent, unique personal charm but not a handsome guy, as the protagonist, he needs to have some aura, and at the same time, he is middle-aged, and he must have certain communication barriers...... My suggestion is that we should find someone who has actually acted and has a lot of acting experience to play the role. Maybe the cost will be a little higher, but this character as the first protagonist, it is very meaningful, he needs to have personal charisma, after all, we can't guarantee that every case is a case that attracts everyone, sometimes we have to rely on the charm of the actors to keep the script going. ”

Levy had no problem with Clark's words. He shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Levy to look at it himself.

Levy actually has his own choice in his mind, but what makes him feel more tricky is that he hopes that William Peterson in his memory will play this TV series, anyway, it is only four years away, and if he comes to act, there is no problem with age and script. It's just that first, Li Wei is worried that after he becomes famous, he will jump out of this crew: that's what he did in his previous life, and secondly, he is also engaged in film production now, and his new film will be released in April, and he doesn't want to care about TV series shooting.

If you really want to find him, it will have to be after April, when his two movies hit the streets, and he may think about accepting TV series again...... However, time waits for no one, and after April, it will be a screening, and I can't delay the shooting until that time.

Therefore, when casting, you can only skip him and choose someone else. Levy felt a little regretful in his heart, but he also knew that starring in a TV series was a career regression for movie actors, and no one would accept such an arrangement.

Therefore, he can only choose another person to play the role.

Fortunately, he is not unprepared for this, "Actually, a few days ago, I saw an actor who may be very suitable for this role." ”

"Name?"

"Hugh Laurie. It's a British actor, I just met some time ago, and I don't know much about the acting skills, but people are very temperamental. Send him a letter and invite him to audition, but I don't know what he can do. ”

This actor is the actor who became famous for filming the medical drama Dr. House in the future. A few days ago in the crew of reason and emotion, Levy found out that this actor played a role in the film, and after a period of conversation, he also learned that the other party's current situation is not very good, he has not starred in too many scenes, as a British, it is a little difficult to mix in Hollywood.

Therefore, when Levy needed to use actors, he was the first thing that came to mind. This actor is a very charismatic person, compared to William Peterson, it can be said that each has its own merits, and it is better to be the protagonist of the TV series. Moreover, British actor training has its own characteristics, just as the Chinese are very fond of filming costume plays, the British are also particularly fond of filming Shakespeare plays - countries with cultural backgrounds as accumulation, are not so keen on modern dramas - British actors have generally received Shakespearean baptism and training, and often perform these plays, so that they are better than American actors in maintaining their manners and maintaining their demeanor. The United States admires the sweetheart and muscular tough guys, while the British side emphasizes demeanor, which also creates a difference, and such a demeanor is still beneficial to play the image of a more knowledgeable scientist.

Moreover, in terms of acting, he has no problem at all. In the future, he was nominated for six Emmy Awards, and he was also a good actor - although it was more tragic that he didn't win an award once, but that was because Dr. House's own quality was not good. It's obviously a condition that can be solved by X-rays, and you have to pretend to do it in 20 minutes, so it's no wonder that the Emmy Award is not nominated once, which drags down the actor's award.

"Okay, since you like him, I'll interview him." Clark didn't hesitate too much about this candidate, since he remembered the name, it meant that he should also be a good actor in the future, "Then, it's the number two person on the team, a woman, a divorced single mother......"

"For this role, I wanted to give Marg Heigerberg the opportunity to audition. This is a good actor, and he has also acted in many TV series, and the focus of his career is also on TV series, you can see if you can find her. ”

This actor is still an actor in the original play, and she is already famous, and she was nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 92, so inviting her to see her interest also depends on her interest. Fortunately, she was also interested in this drama, so she still joined the crew.

In addition to them, the rest of the team members are four people, and these people also need to have their own character characteristics, but because their roles are not very heavy, it is more convenient to discuss.

The interview work for these people, Levy gave it to Clark. And a few days later, Clark brought the results of his interview to Levy and let Clark choose.

And the results of his selection are not bad.

Wallrick's actor, the script required to be black, about 30 years old, Clark gave Levy a list, and Levy saw at a glance Durdan, who played Wallrick in the original script. Although Levy couldn't remember his name anymore, he still remembered his appearance, so he decided to use him. Although there are many black actors, there are few honest and obedient ones, and Levi is not interested in finding someone who will cause some trouble every few days.

And the next few people, the role of Sarah, he didn't find the original actor. It's not surprising that Hollywood is much stricter on women than on men, and it's a few years older than it's hard to come to an interview. It's just that among the actors who came to audition, Levi also saw an actor with a somewhat familiar face: the actor named Amy Adams, Levy immediately took a fancy to her, although she had only been the manager of the dinner theater performance in Minnesota before, but Levi still chose her.

Among the rest, Nick's character, Levy did not find George Eddes among the interviewers - but this role was originally a middle-aged handsome man, which was not difficult to find, and he even saw Jon Hamm's name among the interviewees, which made him not hesitate.

Among the remaining names, among the candidates for Little G, Levy found a soap opera actor Nathan Fillian, who is now a little famous, but the soap opera actor is not as satisfying as the TV series after all, and he also decided to participate in this TV series.

At this time in the 90s, there were too many people who had not yet become famous, and any search was enough to make people gain a lot. Levi picked them, although these people do not match the memory, but they also have their own characteristics, and the cast built up in this way, although there is a big difference from the memory, but it is not worse than the memory.

"If you use unfamous actors in this way, you can save a lot of money...... I just don't know, what will be the effect of the shooting. ”

Looking at Levy's choice, Clark frowned with some concern. Levy just smiled, where did he pick these people to save money?

The income of the actors is not the most expensive thing for a TV series, especially for a newly started TV series, the income of the actors is very low. As for whether it can be improved in the future, it all depends on the ratings.

For example, Friends is a very famous TV series, but when filming first began in '94, the six leading actors of Friends were $6,500 per episode each. And then, with good ratings, NBC's approach was to raise the salaries of Aniston and David Hewman to 40,000 episodes and the others to 20,000 episodes - in the original script of Friends, the story of Rachel and Rose was the main line, so the two of them were paid high. However, the six leading actors of the Friends crew were determined to advance and retreat together, and Aniston and David Hewman both offered to take a pay cut, which eventually made the salaries of all six of them rise together - but in '96, their salaries, which were 75,000 per episode, had to wait until the final season for their income to reach 1 million per episode.

The income of actors in American TV dramas is completely based on the ratings, and the ratings are high, even if the actors themselves are bastards, they can earn very high, such as Charlie Sheen, the notorious big bastard, is still the highest salary in TV dramas. The ratings are low, and no matter how famous an actor is, he doesn't want to make money - the crew of Gossip Girl has the highest income of only $60,000 per episode, just because the ratings are too low.

Americans are very realistic, TV dramas with a large number of viewers can bring more advertising revenue, that is, they have to give more money. And if the number of viewers is small, it is impossible to give money.

The low salary given by the TV series also determines that the TV series is unlikely to find a large row of stars to participate. Those who act in TV series in the United States are generally small actors, and after becoming famous, they refuse to act in TV series again. But even so, there are still countless people who are willing to join the TV series when it starts filming - although the opportunities for TV series are not as good as those of movies, but they are better than no job at all.

Although these people selected by Levy now are not well-known, they will all be good actors in the future. As a time-traveler, in addition to being able to conceive scripts, the biggest advantage is that you know the actors well enough. As a traverser, when looking for actors, wouldn't it be quite embarrassing if you found someone who was bad? Levy's thoughts in his heart, but the dragon set must also be of the top level.

And now, these people who have chosen themselves will definitely not be ashamed of themselves. With top good actors and top crews, the rest of the matter is to shoot the TV series.

It's a pity that just when Levy was thinking that his TV series could quickly conquer Hollywood, ABC TV had already released the results of the internal screening of the first episode of CSI.

"They refused to play our TV series?" When he heard the result, Levy couldn't believe his ears, "What the hell are you thinking about those idiots?" ”
