Chapter 330: Preparing for Filming

"The girls we chased together in those years are just like the school girls in "Old Boys", right? But I still like this tone, and I used to like our school flowers. ”

Li Chencan said that this is another nostalgic film that can touch people's hearts...... There is certainly nothing false about what he says. ”

"The pictures he sent are very good-looking, and there is a little fresh feeling, look at those young boys and girls sitting side by side, have you thought of our past?"

...... "Those Years" quickly gained a lot of attention on the Internet and in many places.

The news of "Those Years" is mixed with the official establishment of Li Chencan's personal studio, as well as Li Chencan's recent popular song "See You Again" as a group bundle publicity, and the spread of influence is still quite fast.

However, many people pay more attention to the casting, Li Chencan soon announced the casting type and registration location on his own scarf, as well as Li Chencan's personal studio and the official scarf of the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years":

Actor: Ke Jingteng -

Hot-blooded, naΓ―ve, a tendon, but can be focused, requirements, height of more than 175 cm, good facial features, well-proportioned figure, age is best within 21 years old...... And so on and so forth.

Heroine: Shen Jiayi -

Calm, good at studying, pure and lovely, sweet in appearance, required, under the age of 21...... And so on and so forth.

Then, there are also the respective requirements of Xie Ming, Hu Jiawei, Xu Bochun, and Cao Guosheng, which are very soon. This scarf was also forwarded quickly.

Li Chencan does not require everyone to have professional acting skills, but mainly depends on whether the person is suitable or not, and the casting is accepted online. After the first round of screening, there are five character selection points in Yanjing, Zhonghai, Nankun, Rongcheng, and Xijing, and Li Chencan will be responsible for the selection of Rongcheng at that time, and the second round of screening in other places will be carried out by professional casting teachers.

The vast majority of people will be eliminated after the first round and the second round, so the first round of online delivery requires at least ten life photos, preferably with a video introduction...... Anyway, it's still quite troublesome, after the second round. In the end, entering the third round of casting, that is, the final casting will be the last, and only a maximum of 2 places will be left for each second-round selection point, with a total of 10 places for Li Chencan to make the final choice.

Such a casting plan is planned. It's very modest, there is nothing novel, but it is also in line with the selection of some open selection roles. And this plan costs a lot, after all, you have to find someone to pick. to filter. It was only two days after the casting plan was released in "Those Years", and more than 100,000 resumes have been submitted online.

If a full set of casting plans is drawn, it will cost at least 500,000 yuan, but all this Li Chencan also has a purpose, and the casting plan is sometimes equivalent to a draft. It is very interesting, otherwise you can take a look at his original casting of the Red Mansion in that time and space and the direct access to the Spring Festival Gala......

This is a way to increase the popularity of your own films.

Really. After the election plan really began, although many staff members were overwhelmed, it did mobilize widespread attention across the country.

When it comes to "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", everyone will not have no idea, and basically can remember that this movie is in the process of casting, and it seems to be going well so far!

This is Li Chencan's purpose......

At the same time as the casting plan was being planned, some people in Li Chencan's personal studio, including Li Chencan himself, were also so busy that they barely touched the ground all day long.

Luo Lijie and Qin Dan are busy choosing the filming location of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" these days.

The story of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" will happen around 2000, from 2000 to the present, there are many places where the classroom has not changed - this is also a characteristic of developed countries, they did the best when they first made some facilities, so many times there is no need to change, it will cost a lot of money to change once, but it is not as good as some poor and white countries, barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and they can use it directly when they see any good things.

To find the common memories of that era, the first thing is to find the right scene.

After some hard searching, they found a middle school within the second ring road of Rongcheng, and now it happened that the middle school was closed, and their classrooms could be used directly.

However, on September 1st, the school will reopen, and before that, around August 15th, the school will be reopened, cleaned and so on, and the students will reopen. At that time, the crew had to forcibly end everything, from the beginning of August when the film was expected to start filming to this, there was only a little more than a week, so there was a need to rush in time, fortunately, there was not much time to shoot in a scene like school, so everyone could shoot this side of the scene first, and then move to other scenes.

Other scenes are much easier, and the other scenes of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" are simpler than in school, and can even be set directly in the studio.

Therefore, after solving this big problem, most of the scene problems have also been solved, and the next thing is props, as well as group performances.

Props include costumes and many other things.

The problem of costumes and group performances coincides, because to shoot the scene when the flag is raised, and also to shoot a lot of campus life, the group performances that need to be used here are less than three hundred, and at most they may need five or six hundred, and these people need some sixteen or seventeen-year-old, seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and girls, and it takes a lot of effort to find similar group performances, and the school uniforms on their bodies are also a big problem, and the style of school uniforms in the past two thousand years is different from now.

In the past two years, the school uniforms have tended to be more conservative, and both men and women have been wrapped more and more tightly, and in the two millennia, they were relatively more exposed, and the girls' summer school uniforms were directly skirts above the knee......

So, these school uniforms can only be made on the spot...... Hundreds of school uniforms were made, and this became the first group spend on the preparation of "Those Years".

Also, the school uniforms of the group performers are improvised, and a set of more than 400 can be won, but the good of a few leading actors can also cost a few thousand - in the past few years of the empire, almost all of the basic manufacturing industry has been transferred to Southeast Asia, and many times it is not easy to buy cheap ones. As a result, expenses such as venues and uniforms are already high.

The salaries of group actors and individual actors are not low......

There is no way to compare the filming here with those places in another time and space of Li Chencan...... In another time and space, let's just find a group performer, find a few group leaders, and let them bring the people under them, and those group performers have a high level of endurance. In his previous life, Li Chencan once filmed a movie in Hengdian and filmed a scene of a water war, but a big name had an awkward quarrel with the director, and the director appeased the big names, but did not rearrange the scene in order to save costs, and actually let the group performer soak in the water for ten hours! The group leader was also a little righteous, and came to Li Chencan to intercede several times, but Li Chencan could only spread his hands helplessly, although he sounded like the assistant director Niu B, in fact, he was just a miscellaneous man, he told the director at most, and the director pushed him back with a sentence - "You will give it more cost?" ”

After this sentence, Li Chencan couldn't say anything more.

As a result, the meals that the group performers ate in the water were later added with 20 yuan per person as a subsidy, and the group performers forgot about their previous unhappiness, and no one defended their rights......

But in this one plane...... You try it...... Immediately, the actors' union sued you all over your body. Moreover, it is mandatory to have a hospital within five kilometers during filming, and it is mandatory to have a doctor with the team, and the actors must have overtime pay once they exceed the time specified in the contract...... And, not only that, if you don't have a good relationship with the actors' union, you have to guard against it...... Because if there are no women in the crew, they will sue you for sexism, and if there is no homosexuality, they will even sue you for homosexuality, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, there are different standards of survival under different rules, and many systems in this time and space are similar to Hollywood in another time and space, which is many and annoying. Although these systems are generally humane progress, for the cost of the film and the people who control the movie, Li Chencan also has to come from that world to adapt to this world.

Moreover, the empire and superpower here are not just words, many things are integrated into the bones, and the most obvious manifestation is that people's income levels are very high, so the expenses for sending these group performances are also very large......

In this way, the cost of "Those Years" will definitely be very high, and the group performance alone will at least cost close to one million dollars to be spent on.

When the various reports were placed in front of Li Chencan, he also had to be taken aback, because according to some current calculations, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" will definitely not be lower than fifteen million in terms of production cost, and even reach twenty or thirty million. If you count the publicity cost, you have to make the total cost of the movie thirty or forty million!

This result made people like Li Chencan, who are determined to make movies, a little taken aback - if this film is filmed in the mainland in another time and space, and new actors are still selected, the production cost will be at most seven million, and it is likely that it will be won by four or five million, counting the publicity in the later stage, that is, about 10 million......

Now that's a lot higher!

However, after being taken aback, Li Chencan also calmed down, shoot! still has to be made, even if the movie has to be made for 50 million!

It's not that the Sprinkle family has no money! Now there are more than 60 million working capital, and there are still some places where the follow-up income has not come, so after filming "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", there will still be a surplus.

PS: Sorry, this chapter is late, I forgot to schedule it. (To be continued......)
