Chapter 4 Zhou Yang recruits actors
Zhou Yang saw the mess all over the ground.
Tables, chairs, all missing arms and legs, at the same time, the wallpaper of the hotel was torn, and the TV screen was smashed.
It was clear that room 302 had just experienced a catastrophe.
"We're discussing the script, but the art script is sometimes very impulsive, and it will form a kind of performance art, Xiao Zhou, you go to dinner first, and we'll come down and check the other equipment later......"
"Okay."
When he saw Zhou Yang continue to look at other places, Hong Xiang blocked the door, preventing Zhou Yang from looking at more things inside.
Screenplay?
Art?
Zhou Yang felt that Hong Xiang was hiding something, but he didn't ask.
At this moment, he was a little tired.
After looking at the circuit board and circuit diagram for a day, my braincase swelled a little.
……………………
"There was something wrong with the van, and I was afraid that it would not be safe to drive on the highway, so I went to the repair shop to check the ...... of the car"
"I need tools to repair things, and I don't have enough tools at the moment, so I went and bought some things......"
"I've also been to the garbage recycling plant here, and I can often find some diode components that I need, and many of the circuit boards are common and can be used on other devices after dismantling...... Of course, many computer boards can also be used......"
"Because I don't have any money, I temporarily borrowed a thousand yuan in the name of the crew, don't worry, I will pay back this thousand yuan, I will record it in my account book."
“……”
At the time of dinner.
Zhou Yang talked seriously about his journey of the day and took out his account book.
The ledger records in detail the various uses of his 1,000 yuan today.
His voice was sincere.
Hong Xiang and Liu Yi listened from the side, nodding indifferently from time to time, deliberately creating the momentum of a leader, but they were inexplicably embarrassed in their hearts.
But they couldn't show this embarrassment in front of Zhou Yang, so they could only keep this silence.
They listened to Zhou Yang talk about the repair of the camera and the theoretical knowledge that they didn't understand......
Suddenly feel that Zhou Yang's goods are not useless?
After dinner.
Hong Xiang left first.
Before leaving, he glanced at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi understood, so he came over to find Zhou Yang.
"Xiao Zhou, tomorrow our crew will move to the side of the mountain, I will recruit some extras, well, see that you are still sincere, so let's do it, we will leave the task of recruiting extras to you, we trust you very much......"
"Oh, okay, that, what should I do?"
"You can do it."
"Any requirements? What is the script about? ”
"The script is to tell the story in the mine, as for what the story is, we can't tell you, it's not that we don't trust you, but that artistic creation needs some vague concepts, and telling you too early will make you form a kind of solidified thinking......"
"Do I need to hire miners?"
Just when Liu Yi was about to seriously popularize the story of artistic creation with Zhou Yang and cover up something, Zhou Yang didn't think about it at all.
Zhou Yang is very realistic.
Art......
This kind of thing is too deep and has a wide range of concepts, and Zhou Yang feels that even if they explain it very seriously, they won't understand it.
He's not that kind of person after all.
He's vulgar.
Gao Ya has nothing to do with him at all.
"It's almost ......," Liu Yi nodded.
"Okay, by the way, what should I say about the salary?" Zhou Yang also nodded and asked a key question.
"Three hundred yuan a day to a thousand yuan a day can be opened as you like, whatever you think is suitable, you can open it......" Liu Yi looked at Zhou Yang.
"Is that really good?"
Are group performances so profitable?
"That's it!" Seeing Zhou Yang's expression, he was slightly impatient.
"This, I don't understand movies, in case I ......" Zhou Yang hesitated.
He was afraid of misleading people's children.
"Don't worry, it's okay, I think you have this kind of artistic talent......" Liu Yi said casually.
"Okay, then I'll try, well, after I recruit it, you guys help check it?"
"Okay."
"By the way, then you have to give me a little money, otherwise I won't be able to advertise...... Recruiting actors, need some advertising, right? ”
"How much?"
"One or two hundred, right?"
"Yes!"
“……”
……………………
Dead.
Zhou Yang lay on the bed and looked at the starry sky.
Am I going to recruit actors?
Can I really do it?
Zhou Yang didn't know, but Zhou Yang felt a feeling of being trusted.
He felt as if he was getting luckier.
Movie......
Movies about mines?
Zhou Yang began to recall the few movies he had seen in his mind......
Vaguely, I thought of a movie called "Blind Well".
The detailed plot has almost forgotten, but he vaguely remembers that this is a literary film, and then, the fragmentary plot in it seems to be able to recall a little.
At the same time, he also knew that the actor who filmed this "Blind Well" was Baoqiang, who belonged to one of the few grassroots counterattack models in the group performance.
Other......
Zhou Yang was really not impressed.
I don't know how much worse the plot of "Blind Well" is from the director's movie......
Well......
I heard that Director Hong's movie will invite Xiao Xianrou "Han Chong" to come over to shoot.
It seems that Han Chong's agent has been contacted.
"Han Chong" debuted as a singing show "Happy Boy" in this world.
Although he was eliminated in the end and did not win the championship, his popularity is very strong and he has a lot of fans.
Looking at the photo, it seems to be very handsome, and it looks a little weak, but it should belong to a particularly talented person.
After all, I heard that it is an original type singer.
However, Xiao Xianrou seems to have a sense of disobedience when making such a movie.
Zhou Yang substituted Xiao Xianrou into "Blind Well", how to substitute how uncomfortable.
Maybe it's my problem?
After all, what kind of film do people like me know, maybe art needs this sense of disobedience?
Maybe the script is completely different from "The Blind Well"?
Maybe......
Well......
It doesn't seem right that a movie only has a director and an assistant director, and no other crew members?
It always feels weird.
Zhou Yang thought about it, and his eyelids began to heavily.
Forget it, don't want to.
Not long after, he yawned and fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Zhou Yang got up at four o'clock in the morning.
The first thing he did when he got up was to take the camera and toss the circuit board inside.
Well, he's using all kinds of tools to find the damaged parts of the camera, which is a lot of work, in fact, for the average repairman, a circuit board can be solved, and if it can't be solved, just a motherboard.
But.
Zhou Yang didn't do that.
The circuit board is not cheap, Zhou Yang can't afford the price, and he is not sure if it will be possible to change the circuit board.
Mainboard?
He couldn't afford it.
It's ridiculously expensive......
Let's take a closer look at where the circuit is broken.
Zhou Yang fiddled with the screwdriver and multimeter, and began to check it very carefully......
It wasn't until seven o'clock in the morning that he finally found some eyebrows!
The answer, though, is hopeless.
The camera was broken in more than one place, and in many other places.
This repair will torment the dead......
Zhou Yang carefully put the camera away, then stood up, rubbed his sour eyes, moved his body, and then left the van and walked towards the advertising agency.
He has to recruit a group of extras today.
Before recruiting actors, he had to make a poster.
………………………………
"Do you think I can do it, young man?"
"Director Zhou, I'm a miner here, no one knows how to mine better than me, do you think I can do it?"
"Lad......"
"Can I?"
“……”
Making movies is a rarity.
When Zhou Yang showed up the advertising paper and heard that a celebrity would come, a large number of people from ten miles and eight towns surrounded him in an instant.
Zhou Yang was surrounded by countless people, and he himself was a little out of breath.
The two directors did not set him a lot of people, nor did they set a price for him, only saying that the film would be invested in about four million.
Million!
It seems like a lot.
In short, according to the vague specifications of "Blind Well" in his mind, Zhou Yang seriously registered the information and news of the actors, and carried out preliminary screening.
It's only been half a day.
Zhou Yang screened more than 20 standby lists.
At noon, when Zhou Yang was about to go back to eat......
Liu Yi hurriedly walked over.
"Is the group show ready?"
"Not yet, this is their list and information, Director Liu, can you help take a look?"
"Well, I'll see, that's it, this, this...... These are a few. ”
"Director Liu, are you going to be too casual?"
"Art is made by nature, and some actors sometimes need luck." Liu Yi looked at his phone while talking to Zhou Yang.
"Oh."
"By the way, this afternoon you go to the advertising agency to make some banners for the opening ceremony, and at the same time, call the actors to the designated place...... Put the camera on the ...... as I asked"
"Huh? The camera didn't work...... Is this going to boot up? ”
"It's okay, I have a camera here, let's take a freeze-frame photo first......"
"Oh, oh."
"Han Chong will come over in the afternoon, you have to get the cards on the board first, you know?"
"How?" Zhou Yang was at a loss.
He doesn't understand that.
His aesthetic is very ordinary, and he knows how to know what cards he knows when he sees a vulgar person......
"Forget it, you go and help set up the tent first, set up the equipment, we will sleep in the tent at night, by the way, the equipment is very heavy, you can do it alone?"
"It can be done."
"Okay."
