Chapter 331: Casting Action
Making a film in the Chinese Empire is really not a simple matter, especially when Li Chencan understands the rules of the game more and more.
There are too many rules and regulations that restrict people here, and they limit each other.
Of course, this is really a kind of progress in nature, and he is able to avoid too much oppression of people as much as possible, and trouble also has the advantage of trouble.
The high cost of labor also shows the progress of social economy......
What's more, no matter how confident Li Chencan is, he will never think that he can pry the rules of the game, so he can only put in more effort under this framework.
Actually, there is one more ...... Although the shooting cost of this time and space is much higher than that of China in another time and space, the movie ticket price is much lower, and the 2D movie ticket here is generally about 12 yuan, and the 3D movie ticket generally does not exceed 18 ......
But fortunately, the movie-watching habits of people here are much stronger than those of China in that time and space.
At that time, it was said that if the average number of Chinese people entering the cinema per year increased from once every three years to three times a year, the total box office of the Chinese film market would exceed that of the United States.
In this time and space, one billion people in China have watched movies 5.3 times per capita per year, which has piled up a fairly large and terrifying box office.
Li Chencan now doesn't care too much about this number after understanding how much it costs to shoot "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".
The follow-up manuscript fee for his "The Legend of Wukong", the follow-up manuscript fee for "Star Change", and the follow-up of the download of several songs...... A whole lot of income was coming at him. If he really doesn't have money, he can still go to endorse some goods to get money. Of course, this does not mean that Li Chencan can spend money indiscriminately, after all. If "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" hit the street at the box office and lost a lot of income, he wouldn't have much money left.
In terms of location, prop arrangement and selection, the film team selected colleagues, and a casting plan was officially carried out within the scope of China.
The first round of applicants ended up with a staggering 840,000, and after the first round of screening, only 10,000 out of 840,000 were qualified to reach within these five points for the second round of screening.
10,000 miles. Although Li Chencan tried their best to take care of the people nearby, so they chose a few points in the east, west, north and south of the motherland, but there are many other provinces. Had to come to the city.
Although there are high-speed bullet trains between each province now, some people are troublesome and some people are expensive, and they feel that they are likely to be eliminated after arriving in the nearest city. There is no need to spend so much time and effort. These people chose to abstain.
In this way, the total number of people who received the second round of screening in the five major cities was 4,571, which is still a lot, but compared to 840,000, it is a super-large weight loss......
From 840,000 people to more than 4,000 people, such a slimming campaign has attracted widespread attention across the country, and in this way, Li Chencan has gathered enough early attention for "Those Years". As long as you fry it a little, the movie will soon become popular.
Soon. After the five points of the people were busy for three days, the second round of screening also ended, and finally there were 10 people from each point, a total of 50 people, and Li Chencan and them came to Rongcheng with round-trip air tickets, and launched the last round of screening in Rongcheng.
These fifty people all had to pass through Li Chencan's eyes.
"Take a look at these lines, figure it out for yourself, and perform it."
Another girl who came to interview in front of Li Chencan, she was wearing a white dress, her figure was well-proportioned and graceful, she didn't wear too much makeup, and the oblique bangs on her forehead made her look fresh and beautiful. Who knew that Lu Dao, a girl who came here from thousands of miles away, did not read the lines for the first time, but said with a smile: "Hello, I actually participated in this actor audition, not really to stand out, in fact, I mainly want to see you...... Because I have always liked your creative talent, I want to see up close what kind of person Li Chencan is. ”
Li Chencan was a little confused.
This person...... It's too funny, right? Traveling thousands of miles just to see yourself? But the person who did such a fanatical thing, why did he seem calm?
Li Chencan laughed dryly, and then said, "Xie Lu Xie, you better take a look at the lines first." ”
Li Chencan's lines and scenes for these people to recite the performance are very simple and not complicated, he mainly wants to observe the reactions of these people and find feelings in his heart.
More than ten years of filming experience in his previous life gave him the feeling that he now sounds very mysterious, but actually really exists, and he can see through who is more suitable for that role.
Having them act out the scene in the line is the easiest way to act out that feeling.
Because, when I came here to participate in the selection of the most beautiful people, except for Xie Ming, who was special, the others were basically handsome men and women, let's just say that the girl just now, she was also very beautiful, so it was impossible to compete for these people in terms of appearance, the main thing was that feeling.
Ke Jingteng, a hot-blooded young man, and Shen Jiayi, a sweet goddess, have to find out that feeling.
After the girl read the lines, Li Chencan shook her head slightly, and said to her: "Xie Lu, thank you for your performance, you go home first and wait for the news, we will notify you if there is news." ”
"Thank you! I'm glad to see you up close today. "Girls are still neither humble nor arrogant.
After the girl walked out, Li Chencan took a closer look at her information, and then recalled the information of these people in other aspects that Qin Dan found, and suddenly remembered that this girl actually already had an actor agency...... Then the purpose of her coming here, Li Chencan can figure it out in an instant - to hype.
The boys and girls who have come to this point in the election have actually paid a lot of attention, and if she can get this role, it would be happy, but if she can't get it, someone will spread this kind of news out of the air, so that everyone knows that there is a girl who comes for Li Chencan, but she is not obsessed with Li Chencan but just admires his talent without humility or arrogance, which is a good starting point.
Li Chencan was a little helpless, she didn't expect such a girl to come, but she is indeed not suitable for this role, her performance traces are too strong, and she is very familiar with various performance grammars, Li Chencan doesn't want to use such an actor.
Because he can feel that the performance grammar of this kind of actor has been almost engraved in his bones, as if he is a martial arts master who often practices a move, and the moves he practices are too profound, and he can react at the first time, but if he wants to rebuild them, it will be even more difficult.
Li Chencan wants a few people who are best close to the state of blank paper, because the performance accuracy of "Those Years" is not high, and Li Chencan can be adjusted, but he needs to be as simple as possible in his performance, with fewer traces of performance, in order to mobilize everyone's resonance more deeply.
It is with this mentality that Li Chencan is most entangled between the three girls, these three girls are similar in beauty, and their figures are almost the same, they were all high school students before, but they had some experience in drama performances, and they were also art students who practiced primary three in high school.
Li Chencan thought back and forth between the three girls, thinking about their characteristics and considering-
Xun Ting, a native of Tianfu, looks very white, has good skin, speaks very softly, and looks like an angel when she wears a white dress.
Yu Chenxi ...... This is from Nanyun, from the Dai people of Xishuangbanna, and that place in Xishuangbanna is very strange, and the girls of the Dai people are either very black by the influence of the tropics, or they are unexpectedly white...... The girl in front of him was obviously very white, and she was also very beautiful, Li Chencan could see a little wildness in this girl's eyes......
Jiang Xiaoyue, a girl from Jiangnan Province, has a feeling of Wu Nong's soft words as soon as she speaks, glutinous and very good, but this girl can rarely have a ...... when she speaks How to say it, anyway, the feeling to Li Chencan is that she can also be tough, and she has the character of a female man with a glutinous voice, which is also a strange beauty...... Of course, she is not a woman, she can just be tough.
After some careful selection, Li Chencan finally chose Jiang Xiaoyue as the heroine, but after thinking about it again, he could only be sorry for the girls who came here who tried to play Hu Jiawei, and each gave them a subsidy of 1,000 yuan and a ticket back, because Li Chencan felt that Yu Chenxi was very suitable for playing Hu Jiawei......
After that, in the choice of male roles, Li Chencan also went through very careful consideration, and finally after careful selection, he chose a boy from Jiangbei Province, named Song Fan, this boy is very good-looking, just from the appearance, it is the type of boy who is particularly exquisite, a bit like Ke Zhendong and Chen Xuedong in Li Chencan's time and space.
Although Song Fan has this kind of appearance, he has a good figure...... This is not because Li Chencan has a tendency to come out of the closet to look at their upper body, but purely for the needs of the plot, you must check some things in advance, Song Fan's abdominal muscles and chest muscles are okay, if it is really time to fight, you can handle it topless. Compared with Yu Chenxi and Jiang Xiaoyue, Song Fan is a blank slate and has not received any acting training.
The name of the fat man Xie Ming is Tang Guirong, wearing black-framed glasses, small eyes, and his eyes are grunting but they don't make people feel obscene, but a little cute, Li Chencan chose him after careful consideration, this fat man is a special actor in the acting academy, and then, Yao Dong who plays Xu Bochun and Ji Yulin who plays Cao Guosheng are all settled.
Now, seeing these casts, as well as the filming set that has been prepared, Director Li Da has finally begun to shine heroically......
PS: Sorry, it's late again, there is no way to do it for the time being on the fifth watch today, but I will try to make four shifts today!
