Chapter 2 Appropriate
Gu Cancan wanted Xu Zheng and Huang Bo to recommend actors, which was sincere.
She is shallow in the capital, and so is Su Luo.
And Xu Zheng and Huang Bo have been in the entertainment industry in Beijing for many years, and they have accumulated considerable contacts, and they can find suitable actors according to the role settings, and the two can help Gu Cancan a lot.
Although Gu Cancan remembers the appearance of most of the actors in this movie, he basically doesn't know anyone and doesn't know how to find names.
Instead of Gu Cancan covering his head to find an actor, it is better to ask Xu Zheng and Huang Bo to recommend it, what they recommend is more reliable than Gu Cancan to find it himself.
Hearing Gu Cancan say this, Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said to Gu Cancan: "According to the image you described in the script, I think of a person, it should be very suitable to play He Sanshui's cousin, his name is Wang Dongfang, graduated from Beiying, his image is very much in line with your description, and his acting skills are also good." ”
Gu Cancan didn't have any impression of this name, but when Xu Zheng said so, Gu Cancan smiled and agreed: "Okay, Mr. Xu, then please help me contact him." ”
"Okay." Xu Zheng should come down.
When he saw Wang Dongfang, Gu Cancan was stunned to find that this Wang Dongfang was the tire in the movie!
Oh my God, is this the irreversibility of history?
As for the other tricks, it's no problem for the crazy stone crew to make a cameo, Liu Ye, Peng Bo, and Wang Xun are all actors with their own comedy genes, and it shouldn't be difficult for Gu Cancan to invite them.
The rest has not yet been determined, and who will play the role is Li Junwei, the boss lady and the robber.
In the original version, Li Junwei was played by Qiao Renliang, and the robber was Zhang Jiayi. Gu Cancan, the actor of the boss lady, doesn't know it, but the image of the vitriol and domineering boss lady played by people is really classic, if possible, Gu Cancan still wants to find the original version to play.
In addition to actors, you also need to hire cameramen and scene reporters, and you need to prepare a lot of things.
Thinking about so many things to do, Gu Cancan felt that his head was going to be big.
It's really not easy to make a movie.
Su Luo has submitted her resignation report to Tianyu, but it will take a week to hand over the work, and she has not yet come to the capital.
Jiang Meiying came first.
She was originally Tianyu who entered through Su Luo's back door, and now that Su Luo has resigned, Jiang Meiying will of course resign with Su Luo.
On weekdays, Gu Cancan is taken care of by Jiang Meiying very well, since Su Luo came to the capital to preside over the affairs of the bright era, of course Jiang Meiying will come over, after asking Jiang Meiying's opinion, she herself doesn't want to and doesn't have enough ability to take charge on her own, so she still wants to be Gu Cancan's assistant.
Gu Cancan's plan for the filming time is scheduled after the Spring Festival, so there are many things that are not in a hurry now, but some things still have to be prepared now.
Ning Hao is also in the capital, the crazy stone has been filmed, and now Ning Hao is in the post-production stage, busy as a dog, Gu Cancan called him once, and I heard that he was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep.
However, Ning Hao still took the time to meet Gu Cancan, and learned that Gu Cancan was actually going to make a movie, and the script and main actors had been found, and his eyes were almost out of his sockets.
"Hey, Brother Ning, why do you have this expression?"
Gu Cancan saw that Ning Hao looked like a ghost, and said unhappily.
Ning Hao's expression returned to normal: "It's just that it feels a little incredible." Cancan, making a movie requires a lot of preparation, the preparation of the crew, and the convening of actors, all of which need to be coordinated. ”
"I know, so, aren't you here to ask Brother Ning for help?" Gu Cancan smiled brightly at Ning Hao, Ning Hao's crew had just finished filming, and the Chinese New Year was approaching, so it was estimated that no work would be arranged, Gu Cancan invited Ning Hao's original crew at this time.
Knowing that Gu Cancan was looking for him, Ning Hao happily agreed to help contact photography and recording.
Making a movie is really not a simple thing.
From the initial project establishment to the release, domestic films generally have to go through 3 levels in the review process, and the first level is the project establishment of the film.
Under normal circumstances, when applying for the establishment of a film project, the film production unit shall submit to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television a synopsis of the film's plot, title, film type, film theme and other materials of no less than 1,000 words.
The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is to initiate the project or propose amendments in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Administration of Films".
The project approval of a film is generally submitted for approval by the investor of the film with all relevant materials.
However, for film directors, this level still faces some difficulties from person to person.
Zhao Linshan, the director of "Tongquetai", recalled in an interview: "I was still a new director when I set up the project for "Tongquetai", because there were some large-scale descriptions in the script, and the investor asked me to delete them before the project was established, saying that it would definitely not be possible to establish the project like this. But I thought at the time that these are okay, because many big directors have released films that are larger than mine. But the investor told me, "You're not a big director!" ”
An insider once said: "In the project approval stage, it is true that some themes or director's works can only provide a synopsis of the script, and some works need to provide the full script." ”
In the actual operation stage, the impression left by a director will also directly affect the establishment of the next film he directs. For example, Feng Xiaogang once said in an interview that the audience's excessive interpretation of "Let the Bullets Fly" has put Jiang Wen's next film under great pressure on censorship.
Far from it.
After the script project is established, the next step is the content review. The content review of the film is done after the shooting and editing. This is a crucial part for all directors. Whether the filmed film is deleted or changed is determined at the level of content review.
For many directors who are constantly experimenting with genre films, the step of content moderation is simply torture. Lou Ye's film was banned, Johnny To's film was deleted, and Jia Zhangke's film was required to be overhauled...... We can often see that some films end up not being presented to the audience as the director intended.
So when Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" was released, a large number of us mainlanders traveled to Hong Kong to watch the movie......
After the content review, almost all investors and crews can breathe a sigh of relief. Next, as long as the technical review before the release is completed, the film can be presented to the audience. In terms of technical review, the film's review rate has reached almost 99%.
The film has reached the level of content review, and there is nothing to modify in terms of content. At this stage, the pressure of censorship is shifted to the censorship department, because if a film that has already been produced is found to be pirated in the market during the final review stage, the censorship department will be under a lot of pressure. So, this last review is usually very painful.
From Ning Hao, Gu Cancan figured out that a movie actually had to be reviewed three times in optoelectronics.
However, these are all small cases, Gu Cancan is shooting a low-cost comedy, and there are no violent and nude scenes, so there is definitely no problem in passing the trial.
What's more, there is someone above the young lady, is there a deputy director of optoelectronics.
Su Luo finally came to the capital, and she first prepared for the company's operation and the handling of the film censorship process.
Through Ning Hao and Gu Cancan, they determined the staff such as photography and recording, signed the contract, and started filming after the Lantern Festival next year.
The usual things were taken over by Su Luo, and Gu Cancan only had one thing left, to find the actors who played the boss lady and Li Junwei.
Although it was filmed after the Spring Festival, it is always necessary to determine the main actors to ensure that they have a schedule at that time.
In the end, it was Huang Bo who helped. In fact, Huang Bo is a dubbing major in the Beiying Performance Department, a more magical major, so Huang Bo has a lot of acquaintances in Beiying, after Gu Cancan was distressed for a long time and couldn't find a suitable candidate to play the boss's wife, Huang Bo helped find one, named Yang Qing, who graduated from the Beiying Performance Department, and is an absolute powerhouse.
When Gu Cancan and Yang Qing met, she was stunned to find that Teacher Yang Qing was the actor of the proprietress in her original time and space, and the fate was really wonderful.
Yang Qing's performance style is distinctive, skillful, sad, joyful, and tense, and can play completely different roles from ugliness to beauty, from childhood to old age. Especially in comedy, she is a self-taught and talented actress with a unique talent for humor in the use of language and form.
There is a providence in the dark.
Now there is the last main actor left, who is more suitable to play the little steel tooth Li Junwei.
In the original time and space, Li Junwei was played by the well-known singer Qiao Renliang, and Qiao Renliang is this year? The first national champion of "Golden Eagle Star "Free My Heart" held by Hunan Satellite TV, which has a large number of fans, Gu Cancan estimated that the crew invited Qiao Renliang to join, and it is estimated that it was also for his fans to attract a wave of box office.
It can be seen that Yang Qing, the original director of "Nightclub", is also cunning and cunning.
Gu Cancan asked Jiang Meiying to try to send an invitation letter to Qiao Renliang, but he didn't have much hope, because Qiao Renliang was a star cultivated by Hunan TV, Gu Cancan estimated that he would not agree to participate in the show for various reasons, but he never expected that Qiao Renliang actually agreed.
This is really surprising, especially when Gu Cancan clearly wrote that he needs to pretend to be ugly and wear braces in the movie.
The role actor of Li Junwei is confirmed, and only the last big supporting role remains, Mr. Robber.
The original robber is played by Zhang Jiayi.
Zhang Jiayi is an old actor, and his acting skills are in one word: stable.
To be honest, he doesn't look like a robber, he doesn't have the fierce temperament of a robber, and he still looks like a handsome uncle next door.
However, "Nightclub" is originally a comedy, and it doesn't need a fierce robber, what you want is that kind of ridiculous absurdity, in this regard, Zhang Jiayi's role in "Nightclub" is very successful.
Speaking of which, Zhang Jiayi also graduated from Beiying. He started acting in 1990, and after graduating from Beiying in 1991, he began to take on various roles, basically taking on money as soon as he was given, prolific, and starred in a lot of roles that most people may not be impressed, as soon as the audience sees this face, they will be enlightened, oh~, I have seen it, what is his name and what is the name of the role he plays, most people can't remember.
However, he is still quite famous in the entertainment industry, and the directors know him, as soon as Zhang Jiayi is spoken, it is easy to use, and his acting skills are online, as long as he is given money, he can basically accept any role. Of course, there are also shortcomings, after playing so many small roles, Zhang Jiayi is already an old oilman, and he often only makes three or five points of effort in filming, as if he is already a senior supporting actor in the entertainment industry.
If it weren't for the release of "Snail House" in Gu Cancan's original time and space in 2008, Zhang Jiayi, who played Song Siming in it, suddenly became well-known and popular all over the country, it is estimated that he would have been mixed up like this.
Zhang Jiayi is also a person from the Beijing circle, and spends most of his time in the capital.
Gu Cancan found him very easily.
After hearing about the intention, Zhang Jiayi couldn't believe his ears.
After staying in various crews for so many years, he felt that this might be the case in his life, but he never expected that someone would come to him to make a movie today.
Movie, even if it's just a small supporting role, it's also a supporting role in a movie.
After reading the synopsis of the characters, Zhang Jiayi felt that he could easily control it.
As for the schedule, there is no problem either.
Easily signed a contract with Zhang Jiayi, and Gu Cancan looked at Zhang Jiayi carefully when he left.
Zhang Jiayi was horrified when he saw it, and felt that there was an incomprehensible light in Gu Cancan's eyes.
What do you mean, melon girl.
……
Either way, the main cast of "Nightclub" has been decided.
As for Yang Qing, the original director of the movie "Nightclub", Gu Cancan thought that if he had the opportunity, he would like to invite him to the crew.
However, at this time, Yang Qing didn't know which crew to write the script in or write it on the spot, Gu Cancan tried to inquire, but no one knew such a person.
Gu Cancan will also give up, and when there are more people in the circle who are a little famous in the future, I will look for him, take other people's masterpieces, and I will definitely help Yang Qing shoot the hot pot hero in the future.
The plot pictures were all in Gu Cancan's mind, and Gu Cancan thought that he would just find an executive director.
It's too easy to find an executive director, there are two art academies in Beijing, Beiying and Chinese Opera, and the number of directors who graduate from these two schools every year is hundreds, and the number of ungraduated is hundreds, and it is easier to find an executive director than to find a group performer.
Jiang Meiying went to Beiying to meet by chance for two days, and finally chose a student named Zhou Jiankui.
Zhou Jiankui is a 2001 director of the Beijing Film Department, and he is in his senior year at the moment, and he heard that Jiang Meiying's gold owner is recruiting an executive director, and he successfully seized this opportunity.
……
Crazy Stone, these actors, have a very good relationship in private, when Gu Cancan asked Huang Bo to be a lobbyist and invited them to make a cameo in the movie "Nightclub", almost everyone agreed, and even Ning Hao and his wife agreed to make a cameo in the movie.
Regarding the salary, the leading actor Xu Zheng played the role of He Sanshui, and the salary was 300,000 yuan, which was actually quite low, and it was the salary price that Xu Zheng took the initiative to propose. He is also happy to see the hunt and wants to transform into a movie café, Gu Cancan's movie can be regarded as dozing off, someone handed a pillow and did what he liked. Besides, Gu Cancan's is the grass platform team, and he is afraid that the asking price will be too high and scare Gu Cancan away.
Huang Bo's role Zhu Liao is paid 80,000 yuan. Although there are not many scenes, Huang Bo also has a certain reputation in the film industry at this time, and it is worth this price.
What's more, Gu Cancan knows that in the future, after the release of "Crazy Stone", Huang Bo's worth will rise sharply.
