Chapter 550: Preparation for the Establishment of the Group (2-in-1)
[Unmodified Version]
Han Li still underestimated Tian Lu's determination, but he didn't expect her to come, and her attitude was very resolute.
Although Han Li auditioned her strictly on the principle of business, on the whole, her performance was okay.
It's not the best, but it's pretty good. So from this point of view, taking into account the influence of other factors, Han Li and they finally set the female number one as her.
The reason why this is the case, in addition to Yao Yuan's affection, is mainly the operation of the capital behind it, for example, Qianyi Pictures promised to invest no less than 200 million funds for this series of online dramas in the future, and will also give this series of online dramas certain resources.
For example, the big movie plan of this series of online dramas, as well as the overseas distribution and release plan of this series of film and television dramas, etc.
Although Han Li said at the beginning that there was no shortage of funds, the money was still squeezed out from everywhere. After all, the strength of the company is still weak after all, and there are many projects after all, and money is being used everywhere.
So for them, having these two hundred million can be said to make them somewhat relieved.
As for the investment income share of this money, it cannot be said that there is none, but it is better than nothing. According to the underlying rules in the circle, this money is like a sponsorship fee, for a place and an opportunity, and it doesn't matter if there is income or not.
Therefore, in the end, after a round of relatively amicable negotiations, Han Li and they gave Qianyi Pictures 18% of the revenue share. As for whether it is a loss or not, this is not something they can worry about.
As for the actor, Han Li gave Dong Xuan, a young student who had also debuted for a short time.
Compared with the heroine Tian Lu, this Dong Xuan does not have a deep background, and the reason why he participated in this drama was completely recommended by the film and television company that he cooperated with Han Li.
And this Dong Xuan, although he is in a relatively large film and television company, he has no resources, and the company doesn't seem to pay much attention to him.
This time, it was Dong Xuan's agent who found the owner of the film and television company who cooperated with Han Li through personal relationships, hoping to participate in this drama.
As for Dong Xuan, Han Li also knows, although he is not famous now, but after a few years, he has become one of the few popular students in China who has both acting skills and good looks.
And a series of movies and TV series he has participated in have also been welcomed by the audience, and he is a very good actor.
It's just that Dong Xuan at this time is still relatively young and immature, and even has the shyness of some little boys. But judging from the auditions, his basic acting skills are very solid, and he is also relatively spiritual.
What's more, Han Li saw a trace of the temperament of an ordinary urban boy from him, which is very consistent with the male protagonist in the middle.
As for itself, there are many people competing for the role of the male number one, and some of them are very promising. For example, there are currently popular young actors, who are also very good young actors, and there are several idol male stars who have just debuted and have been highly praised.
And the other one is the son of a famous movie star in the circle, who looks and has a very good temperament, and his acting skills are also very good under the influence of the couple.
And these people also privately promised Han Li that as long as they can win the role, they should give no less sponsorship money.
But after careful consideration, Han Li and Tong Yongjun still insisted on handing over the role of male number one to Dong Xuan. Although they also love money, they value the project even more.
So from this point of view, there is no doubt that Dong Xuan is the most suitable for this role.
Of course, Dong Xuan also paid a lot to win this role. For example, the film and television company behind him promised to invest 20 million yuan in the filming of this drama. And also promised that he would unconditionally star as the male protagonist of this series for free until the end of this project.
Han Li is naturally happy to see this, the team of the hero and heroine is decided, and his heart is half down.
As for the role of the male No. 2 Mi Hao, Han Li chose Chen Yiming, the son of the movie star. In addition to the face that should be given and the resources he promised, Han Li also took a fancy to Chen Yiming's unruly character.
And his family background is actually similar to the role of the male No. 2 Mi Hao, who has lived in a wealthy family since he was a child, so it is inevitable that there will be some problems with the rich son. But it's not bad to be a person.,It's the kind of person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.。
As for the female number two, it was beyond everyone's expectations, Han Li and they were a complete amateur, and they didn't even have a brokerage company. So after it was settled, a large number of economic companies came one after another, all wanting to sign this lucky winner.
But what caught them off guard was that the girl's economic contract had long been in Han Li's hands. In the midst of their disappointment, these economic companies are active in their minds.
You must know that Han Li does not have a brokerage company, which means that it is useless for Han Li to ask for this single actor. The reason why they signed this girl is nothing more than to be optimistic about her and want to invest in her.
So as long as they can offer a price that satisfies Han Li, then they can buy this girl's economic contract.
But there's no rush yet, it depends on how this girl is going before making a final decision.
After deciding on the entire actor role, Han Li and the others immediately began to build the crew. A good work, in addition to having excellent actors and directors, also requires the full cooperation of the entire crew.
What's more, Han Li is about to prepare to shoot a series of film and television dramas, so the members of this crew must undergo strict screening.
First of all, for the entire crew, in addition to the director, the most important thing should be the cinematographer. A good cinematographer can not only affect the picture quality of the entire film and television drama, but also affect the progress of the entire drama.
So after some search and consideration, Han Li and the others finally handed over the photographer to a photographer of their own from Xiangjiang, and people in the circle called him Zhou Ye. This photographer has shot a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and his skills are very solid.
It's just that with the decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies in recent years, he doesn't show up much. This time, Han Li specially invited him to take the helm, just to use his rich experience to make up for the lack of directors Tong Yongjun and Han Li who were too young and inexperienced.
In addition to this Zhou Ye as the main photographer, Han Li and the others also have several deputy photographers, and even photographers who specialize in aerial photography.
In addition to the cinematographer, there are also a series of members such as lighting engineer, sound recording engineer, assistant director, executive director, production director and so on.
Even the logistical support, as well as the person in charge of the lunch box, have to find one, which can be described as extremely complicated.
In general, the photographer and gaffer are a combination that directly affects the quality of the image. Therefore, the gaffer and lighting team of the crew this time were recommended by the chief photographer Zhou Ye, and they are very experienced.
As for the recording engineer, Han Li also chose an old recording engineer with rich experience. Because live recording is going to be used this time, the requirements for the recording engineer's skills are very high, so Han Li attaches great importance to this part.
As for the assistant directors, in order to make up for their lack of experience, the counselor they are looking for this time is a relatively senior director. This person's surname is Niu, Han Li and they all call him Director Niu, he has been an assistant director for many big directors, and he has also directed many plays himself.
This time, I heard that Han Li and they were going to shoot an online drama, and this Niu Dao was very interested, so he came to the door by himself. It just so happened that Han Li and the others were such a person, so they simply agreed.
As for the executive directors, they are actually young people who have no resources and experience, and they have come to study and work together. So Han Li didn't care much about this piece, and left it all to director Tong Yongjun to decide.
As for the rest of the crew, they were recommended by the above members, one on the left and one on the right, so soon the crew was basically completed.
Of course, there are several special teams in the crew, that is, the art team and the props team. Although these two departments are not valued in some crews, Han Li and Tong Yongjun are very concerned.
Therefore, the selection on this is also relatively strict, and for this reason, Han Li specially transferred seven or eight members of the physical special effects production team from the company's film and television post-production and special effects studio to join it to strengthen this strength.
In addition, for this drama, Han Li also specially asked Du Juan to set up a digital special effects production team in the film and television post-production and special effects studio to prepare to be responsible for the production of special effects shots for this drama or this series of episodes.
And because there are a large number of battle scenes and scenes in this play, Han Li and the others not only found a professional military team to be responsible for the guidance of the battle scenes in this play.
In addition, the school's military fan association also formed an interest group to participate in it. On the one hand, it can be regarded as a small benefit for the military fan association, and on the other hand, it is also to see if you can find some members who are interested in the movie battle shooting scenes and are willing to study them.
In order to facilitate future training, and then absorb into the company's dedicated team.
Also, in fact, I also want these people to play a role, on the one hand, to use their military knowledge to assist in the shooting of these shots, and on the other hand, it is also for the interaction with the audience and netizens.
Isn't it possible to release some photos and videos through them, which is more attractive and effective than the photos and videos released by them.
For example, for many curious netizens, what you see and what you don't believe you see are two different feelings.
At the same time as the crew was being built, the actors also began to make final preparations for joining the group. Just like Han Li said before, the female No. 1 Tian Lu is going to live in Laomei for twenty days, and there will be some training in firearms and shooting and tactical movements.
As for the male number one, he doesn't need these. Because the actor himself is an ordinary senior student, it is impossible for him to come into contact with these, so Han Li and they will not give him any military training.
Not only that, Han Li also asked him not to deliberately look for military information, in order to restore the anxious performance of being at a loss in front of the camera. And let him gradually adapt and train during the filming process, so that the audience can see a gradually growing male protagonist in the play, which is more suitable for the characters in the play.
However, although there is no need for military training, Dong Xuan, as the leading actor, is going to the art academy for half a month, on the one hand, let him readapt to the role of a student.
On the other hand, the actor Xu Ran is a senior student in the Academy of Arts, so he has a certain understanding of art. Therefore, Dong Xuan has to look at some artistic knowledge while going to the art academy to adapt, which is more conducive to his performance during the filming process.
You must know that there is still a certain difference between what you exude and what you perform suspiciously. Many goofs in film and television dramas are pretending to understand.
For example, in the famous series of dramas, there are many such thunderous lines. What's 'eight hundred miles away, kill the devil machine gunner with one shot!' ''Each carrying one hundred and fifty kilograms of explosives. ''Comrades, the eight-year war of resistance has begun' and so on.
If you have a little military and historical knowledge, there will be no such ridiculous and generous lines and shots.
Therefore, if you want to improve the quality of film and television dramas, you must not only rely on the director, screenwriter, and producer, but also rely on the self-cultivation of the actors themselves. It's not just about acting, it's about enriching your knowledge.
In addition to the male and female protagonists, there is actually another character who also needs to undergo a certain amount of training before joining the crew, and has to undergo military training like the female number one Tian Lu.
This is the male No. 3 in the play, a retired special forces soldier, and the thug of the protagonist team in the play, the one in charge of the handsome.
However, compared with the female No. 1 Tian Lu, this male No. 3 needs to receive military training in China. Because he is a veteran special soldier of our army, of course, his military actions naturally have to conform to the style of our army.
While the actors are preparing, the whole crew is also in the process of intense preparation.
The filming of this drama is divided into two stages, the first stage is an urban drama and a studio scene. The beginning and end of this drama have a lot of scenes of life in the city, so it needs to be filmed in the city first.
In addition, some underground shots and indoor shots in this drama must not be filmed on the spot, so they can only be filmed in the studio.
And this drama has a very large number of studio shooting shots, so the two studios close to the company's park are definitely not enough, so Han Li and they went to rent many studios in the film studio for filming.
The second stage is the outdoor shot. There are a lot of scenes next door to the desert in this drama, and many of the stories take place in the desert Gobi.
Therefore, when they shoot urban life and studio shots, they need to go deep into the desert to shoot. And the whole outer diameter filming process will also be the most difficult stage of this drama.
