Out of fear that the film would deviate from the original track, the pre-preparation meeting was forcibly arranged in Chicago by Song Ya, and now it is still early before the start of filming in the group, and many of the main creators have other things on hand, and they have to use the weekend to travel between the two places, which makes Yeremov complain again and again that the crew's travel and extra overtime expenses are in danger of being uncontrollable from the beginning.

"There are many things you don't have to do yourself, and when your money is not invested, Catherine and they are afraid to scare you away and do not want to offend you. Now that all the contracts have been signed, those creators will not have anything good to say about an eighteen- or nine-year-old singer who pointed at the preparatory meeting, even if you are the boss who pays for it, and many artists have unruly personalities. He said.

"No, trust me." Song Ya didn't care about this, "An eighteen or nine-year-old black hip-hop star is pointing fingers at his own territory, who dares to oppose it on the spot?" ”

"This ......"

Yeremov tilted his head and thought about it, and finally had to admit, "It's true, but the motive of not daring to object...... It's not good for your reputation, is it? Others still say strange things behind their backs, and it's the kind that pokes the news to tabloid reporters. ”

"A bad reputation does good things, in short, it can achieve the goal."

Song Yacai doesn't care what others say about him behind his back, when the movie is a big hit, everyone will obediently shut up, "Have you talked about it?" ”

"Sankeman's dance troupe is not available, they can't finish their work from this year to the year after, and it's very unfortunate that they are now filming Amperin Entertainment's Modern Stone Clan." Yeremov shook his head in annoyance: "We can't dig Catherine's people." ”

"Ha, Hollywood is so small."

That movie is really related to herself, if Xue Linfen doesn't disappear, then she will be the first female, Harley the second female, the producer is Amperin Entertainment, who cooperates with her, and the dance finger is Shankeman and his dance troupe.

I don't know why Xue Linfen did this......

Song Ya shook his head and pulled back the split thought, "What about after the filming of the Modern Stone Clan?" Sankeman is not available, Anne Fletcher can always bring it, right? ”

"Anne Fletcher signed Jim Carrey's dancing finger in disguise, and it will be released in July next year." Yeremov said.

"Huh? Didn't I get angry with her in advance? Song Ya was unhappy, Anne Fletcher promised to be good when she was ventilated early, and the dance finger was different from some of the main creators who started work after joining the group, and they had to intervene from the actors' dance practice to rehearsals in advance, and the work cycle was very long.

"It's a new line of superheroes (The Mask Man is a superhero from the Dark Horse comics), but a comedy starring Jim Carrey, and it's twice as much as we are." Yeremov said.

"Do superhero movies have to dance too? Forget it, forget about other people's business, but I'm going to have to Anne Fletcher, you go and coordinate! She obviously agreed to ventilate in advance, and if it was passed on, it would also damage her reputation, right? Song Ya knows that Hollywood has the meaning of watching their own jokes, and now they are most willing to trust the people they have worked with, such as Larry Sr. and Zack Snyder.

"Okay."

Yeremov immediately went to call to convey this small threat, and when he came back, he said with a smile: "Anne has changed her mind, she agrees in principle to take over our work, but she will not come to Chicago until she joins the group, and the choreographer and rehearsal must be in Los Angeles so that she can take care of the two crews." ”

"So what should I do?" Other actors say that they still have to go to school!

"You're going to have to figure it out yourself, she'll arrange some tasks or something, and you can get a personal dance instructor here to help you practice." Yeremov said: "You can't really rely on danger to force her to help, disguised weirdness and dancing out of my life, anyone in Hollywood will choose the former." ”

"That's all there is to it."

Most of the time I can not come to Chicago, but I still caught Anne for the preparatory meeting, and no one has watched Hollywood's old-style song and dance in the past two years, and her modern dance with Shankeman's fusion of various elements is very popular in the market, and her dance index salary has also begun to soar, which is still much cheaper than Shankeman, but it is already high compared to other dance fingers.

"This preparatory meeting is to determine the direction of casting, everyone has read the script, right?"

There are more and more participants in the preparatory meeting, photographers, stylists and other personnel also began to appear at the meeting, a whiteboard is drawn with a simple character relationship diagram, old Larry hosts, the script in his mouth refers to the storyboard script that has been polished several times, "the male protagonist ......"

His student pasted Song Ya's headshot under the name of the male protagonist Taylor, "APLUS, the female protagonist is vacant, but we need a blonde white girl with a good foundation in ballet and can dance modern dance." The age in the play is about twenty-one years old, and the choice of actors can be relaxed to eighteen to twenty-five years old, and it is best to have a sense of couple when standing with APLUS......"

Everyone at the meeting laughed in a low voice, "Be a little taller, at least more than 1.7 meters." The casting director added: "APLUS is too tall, preferably 1.75 meters, with a good figure, beautiful enough, elegant manners, and can give people a sense of indifference and arrogance when the head is raised." ”

"Uh......" According to this standard, Amy will be no play, she is only one meter and in her early sixties, Song Ya hurriedly came back, "It's okay to be short, your standard is not easy to find......"

Amperin Entertainment's casting director looked at him and didn't speak again.

Old Larry's students put a picture of his beautiful wife, Nicole Kidman, under the heroine's name.

"Hehe, I can't afford this."

Song Ya squeezed out a smile, he and old Larry were angry, and the casting was going to be inclined to Amy, but he didn't expect that the template his student found was still Nicole Kidman, and the woman was one meter eight.

Everyone laughed again when he didn't understand the technique of presetting character templates before casting, and Anne Fletcher was kind enough to help explain.

"It's okay, let's go ahead." Song Ya waved his hand, not wanting to dwell too much on this at the meeting.

"Second male", Larry Sr.'s student posted a photo of one of the male protagonists who can also dance in white, the white actor who can dunk beautifully with full of muscles, in the corresponding position, "If you are an athlete, you can dunk, and your height is similar to APLUS, or even higher." Larry Sr. said.

Everyone agrees on this character template, and then there is the second female, and the old Larry directly uses the photo of Taraji.

The younger brother of the second male, Larry Sr. used the darker skin in the Kris Kross group, "This kid is red now, but it's not necessary to try, maybe he's willing to get involved?" The casting director looked at Song Ya.

Singers, especially black people, do like to go to Hollywood, and the second male brother can be regarded as the third male according to the role, but Song Ya hates the kind of guy who sucks at a young age, "Forget it, I don't have any friendship with him, let's use a professional child star, but I have no opinion on the actor template according to him." ”

The casting director obviously expressed his displeasure this time, pursed his lips, and finally held back and didn't speak.

There is also the gangster girlfriend who danced with Song Ya after the opening of the movie, and the old Larry also directly used Hallie's, "This candidate is basically decided, right?" He asked Song Ya.

"Yes, it's her, I've already agreed with her." Song Ya nodded.

"Well, Halle Berry is too expensive, she has to take away the highest salary of the crew for a cameo dance, 500,000 ......"

The casting director objected for the third time.

"It's already done, OK?" Song Ya didn't give him a good look this time.

"APLUS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO AUDITION, JUST FOLLOW YOUR IDEAS." The casting director slammed the script in his hand on the table.

'Smack! There was silence in the A+ Records conference room.

"Just do your job, main actor, I'll get the idea! You don't need to fight me about this! Song Ya glared at him.

The person next to him was also pulling his sleeve to persuade silently, the middle-aged white man took a deep breath, looked at the producer who was also Amperin Entertainment, saw that the other party shook his head slightly, and picked up the script again, and the paper was deliberately turned over by him, but he finally didn't quarrel on the spot.

The gangster's template photo is Escuber, with a fierce face, and everyone agrees.

THE SECOND FEMALE BOYFRIEND IS A YOUNG BLACK MUSICIAN, AND THESE CHARACTER TEMPLATES SONG YA HAS NEVER COMMUNICATED WITH OLD LARRY, AND HE USED BABYFACE'S PHOTOS WHEN HE WAS YOUNG.

"Our company's Common is fine, hey! Taraghi, call the Common! Song Ya called Common, who was preparing for the second major in the deep-sea recording studio, over and showed his face in front of everyone.

Old Larry looked at the casting director, but this time the other party didn't speak, so he had to say to himself: "The appearance is fine, but I want to verify the acting skills." ”

Song Ya nodded in agreement.

Then there is the heroine's villain boyfriend, and the template character photo is naturally Xiao Lizi.

"Isn't this too handsome?" Anne Fletcher and the stylist and other female staff members exclaimed, Anne Fletcher said: "The villain is too handsome and will affect the character of the protagonist who threatens you, right?" ”

"Will it?" Song Ya touched his face.

"Movie audiences are very face-oriented, generally the most beautiful women will be preset in their hearts as the female protagonist, the same is true for the male protagonist, and robbing an excessively handsome white boy girlfriend will threaten the legitimacy of the male protagonist's behavior of prying the corner." The producer of Amperin Entertainment thought he didn't understand and explained.

But the heroine's boyfriend in the original version is also a handsome golden retriever......

Of course, the original male protagonist is also a good-looking white man, more masculine than the heroine's boyfriend, so Song Ya has always felt that there is nothing unreasonable when he looks at it, and now he ......

"Anyway, let's do it first, and you don't necessarily have to find this boy to play it." Larry Sr. helped him out.
