Chapter 63: Selection of crew members
As the shooting plan progressed in an orderly and steady manner, Lin Xingchen suddenly felt that his work this time would not achieve the expected effect. Just this time in the college, the professors and outstanding students of various departments he made friends with may be his biggest gain.
For Chinese people, in addition to monetary interests, the most important thing is nothing more than a connection. Tong Guò selected the members of the crew this time, and Lin Xingchen can be regarded as an outstanding student who has completely become a professor in all departments of the college and admires him very much.
After discussions among several invited professors, the three directing students were naturally very happy to learn that they had the opportunity to co-direct. The other students who were not selected, although they had some regrets, did not say much.
Listening to a few professors and making evaluations based on their answers on the papers, these students who thought that directing was okay really knew that they lost there. This kind of failure after earnestness may help them improve next time.
After these professors finished their evaluation, Lin Xingchen also said modestly: "First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all the seniors for their sincere treatment of this questionnaire. Thank you, seniors, for not disliking me as a freshman for coming up with such a questionnaire.
I know that all of you are the best students in the directing department. It's just that for the filming of this music micro-film, there is no way to arrange too many directors. So, I'm sorry I didn't have the opportunity to work with you seniors this time! ”
Although Lin Xingchen knew very well that he didn't need to apologize to these unsuccessful seniors at all. But in Lin Xingchen's opinion, he is far from the level where he can ignore the fruits of other people's labor. What's more, he must always remember that he is a new student.
A person who knows how to respect others is likely to be respected by others. In the face of Lin Xingchen, the most popular junior in the academy recently, apologized, and these unsuccessful directors also felt a lot more comfortable.
According to the news they inquired, this junior's grades in the circle at the moment are much better than them. Not only did he have a script, but he was bought by a well-known director. Even the songs he wrote were purchased by several major Chinese music companies.
Compared with their senior year, they are about to enter the society, and they don't know where to choose a career. Lin Xingchen, a junior, is really much better than them. For excellent and modest people, these seniors naturally dare not be too arrogant and unreasonable.
This apology as a junior fell into the eyes of these professors of the director department who taught, and they also felt that Lin Xingchen was such a polite young man. Nowadays, there are really very few in this circle.
Sending off the unsuccessful directors of the department, Lin Xingchen quickly looked at the three directors who were successfully selected. said with a smile: "Welcome three seniors to join the director team of the 'father' micro-film, three of them have joined, and I am finally a lot more sure."
This is all the script for the short film, as well as some of the shooting scripts that I wrote. Now I will hand over all these scripts to the three seniors, hoping that the three seniors can make the corresponding shooting corners according to the script.
I believe that the three seniors know that the leaders of the college attach great importance to this shooting. Even my younger brother and I also felt a lot of pressure. Now that you've joined me, I feel a little less stressed. For the shooting, please leave it to the three seniors. ”
According to the previous decision of Lin Xingchen and several professors of the directing department, Zhao Jun, who served as the director of the crew, also did not dare to despise Lin Xingchen, who was only a junior in front of him. Everyone knows that Lin Xingchen still has the final say on the matter of this micro-movie.
took the script handed by Lin Xingchen and said with a smile: "Thank you for the trust of the teacher and the younger brother, we will use 100% enthusiasm and hard work to complete this directing task with Sun Ming and Li Ronghao." ”
After exchanging contact information with the three, Lin Xingchen did not stay in the director department for long. I began to come to the Department of Stage Art and interviewed several outstanding graduates recommended by the head of the Department of Stage Design.
They will be responsible for the lighting, make-up and theater decoration of the crew, and considering this kind of work, it doesn't really matter if there are more people. Anyway, there is no need to pay a salary, at most increase the money for a box lunch, so Lin Xingchen didn't do any questionnaires.
also divided the relevant work that these students need to be responsible for, and after changing the contact information, Lin Xingchen left in the appreciative eyes of these seniors and teachers of the Department of Stage Art.
looked at Lin Xingchen who left, the instructor of the stage art department who helped to make the introduction, and looked at these students selected from the graduating class. The tone was sincere and serious: "As far as I know, this student Lin from the Department of Literature is very not simple.
Less than a year after enrolling, a script is about to be put on the screen. In addition to this, he is also an emerging composer in the music industry. I'm sure you've all read the script and the song, is this something that an ordinary freshman can do?
You are about to graduate, and I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Don't think that this is just a student-directed micro-film, so you will face it with a compromising mentality. I dare say that this work should have received a very good response.
With the attention of the leadership of the college, the best graduating students from each department were gathered to shoot a work that only lasted about ten minutes. This is the first time in the play. With this learning experience, you will have a better understanding of your position.
As your teacher, I hope that you will work hard to show your strength and have a good relationship with this classmate Lin. Maybe in the future, when you feel that you are facing a choice in your career, he may be able to help you. ”
Compared with these students, they don't quite understand the cruelty of the workplace, but this mentor who has been with the crew is very aware of the importance of this circle and connections. If Lin Xingchen is not able to do so for the time being, he will recommend an actor to a certain crew.
So Lin Xingchen, as a screenwriter, has a good personal relationship with many stars at this moment. It should be a simple matter to recommend a lighting artist, a stage designer, or a makeup artist to the script.
For Lin Xingchen, it may just be a matter of one sentence. But for these students, who can only stay behind the scenes and in the field, it is indeed a very difficult thing to do. After all, they're new to the industry!
In these years, if you don't have the ability, others will definitely give you a chance. The cruelty of the workplace is not yet experienced by these students at this moment. In the future, when they enter the workplace, they will truly understand what he said today.
After listening to the tutor's words, all the graduating students of the Department of Stage Art were interviewed. Although I felt that the mentor was a little too much to say, I could tell that the mentor was genuinely concerned about their future.
With this understanding, these students also said that they would show the strength of their stage art students in this micro-film crew. Let the leaders of the academy, as well as this slightly magical junior, know that they have not studied in vain in the past four years.
Lin Xingchen, who has been to the stage art department, took the time to go to the performance department again. Under the personal auspices of Hu Shen, the director of the performance department, I met Chen He and Zheng Kai again, as well as Zhao Siji, who was a little shy but kept calm.
To Lin Xingchen's surprise, here he saw the actor who was known to the public with Chen He and others because of the 'love apartment'. Of course, at the moment he is a senior who is about to graduate.
Sun Yizhou, a handsome male artist who plays the 'playboy' Lu Ziqiao in the love apartment. Compared with his image in the love apartment, he seems very honest and modest at the moment, sitting in the conference room, and occasionally showing a handsome smile.
It has been determined that the heroine of the 'Father and Daughter Chapter' will be played by Zhao Siji, and the role played is Huo Yanyan played by the petite actress Huo Siyan in the later generations. Of course, in order to make a difference, the name of this character was also changed to Zhao Yanyan.
Zheng Kai plays Zhao Siji's boyfriend, Chen Hegang plays the male lead in the 'Father and Son Chapter', and the character Lin Dabao is created based on his own experience in his previous life. The roles of the three have been assigned, but the roles of two fathers are a little difficult.
Originally, Lin Xingchen thought about finding two old actors with acting experience. can be thought of that since this micro-film has been named as a play, it will naturally not go outside to invite people again. Inviting teachers to participate in the performance is not representative of the students' works.
Thinking of this, Lin Xingchen suddenly said: "Director Hu, for the father of the hero and heroine, I think it should be possible to do it through guò makeup, right?" Senior Sun Yizhou, I don't know if you are willing to sacrifice your handsome image? ”
Seeing Hu Shen nodding, Lin Xingchen immediately changed his voice and turned the topic to Sun Yizhou. I have also read the script and know that in the micro-movie, the role of the father needs acting skills the most, but it is also the easiest to shine.
Sun Yizhou quickly said: "Roles are no matter how big or small, and naturally they are not age. As long as screenwriter Lin thinks I can do it, then I'm willing to give it a try. ”
Before coming here, Hu Shen told them that this is a very good micro-film. Despite the main role, he was promised by Lin Xingchen to befriend the 04 students of the acting department. But this also shows the importance of relationships.
If you really want to talk about it, maybe the graduating students who were called today will naturally have better acting skills than Zhao Siji. The right to assign roles is not in the hands of the academy, but in the hands of Lin Xingchen, who leads this micro-film.
This means that what role you want to choose in this micro-movie depends on Lin Xingchen's impression of them. Now that Sun Yizhou can get one of the heavy father roles, he will naturally not refuse, on the contrary, he is very happy.
With Sun Yizhou agreeing to play the role of the heroine's father, the role of the male protagonist's father was quickly decided. As for other micro-films, it is very likely that there is only one supporting role in one shot, and all of them have been assigned.
What made Lin Xingchen feel relieved was that these seniors didn't seem to dislike the size of the roles, and happily took over the corresponding scripts and lines. After all, this is the real electrocution before they graduate!
