Chapter 266: Reading

The reading is not only about the actors, but also about all aspects of the cast, including finance, screenwriters, producers, etc.

The people in the crew can use the reading meeting to investigate the problems in the plot details and the logic of the drama's conflict, and make corrections and improvements.

The director can implement the storyboard, scenes, and personnel, and the cast and crew can unify their creative ideas, determine the creative direction, and finally study the specific shooting method.

When reading the script this time, the producer gathered the actors, directors, producers, and screenwriters, and also invited staff such as camera, art, lighting, costumes, and editing special effects.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

When Ren Shuai appeared in the crew as agreed, there were about 15 minutes before the reading began.

However, everyone's enthusiasm was very high, so basically everyone had already arrived early.

The heroine is played by Mu Xiaoqing, and the screenwriter is also an old acquaintance Su Yu.

Mu Xiaoqing and Su Yu may have made an appointment, and the two of them appeared at the reading meeting together.

When they saw Ren Shuai coming, they immediately went over to greet them enthusiastically.

Subsequently, Su Yu took Mu Xiaoqing and Ren Shuai very familiarly and walked next to the director and introduced: "This is Xie Jiu, the director of our drama, I introduced it to you before."

He is a very accomplished new director in the field of horror films, the angle and ideas of the film are very novel, and the sense of rhythm is also very strong, which can capture the hearts and eyes of the audience. ”

I don't know why, Mu Xiaoqing felt a little scared after listening to this introduction.

Even if you catch the eyeballs, how can you still grab people's hearts.

Although she made the decision to take this film after careful discussion with the agency, she actually had no bottom in her heart.

And she is naturally timid and afraid of the dark, for fear that something will go wrong during the filming of this horror film.

But an actor must have the spirit of courage to challenge, so that he can continue to break through himself and broaden his acting path, so Mu Xiaoqing decided to fight hard and agreed to the invitation of this film.

Xie Jiu was a very thin young man, even a little cheeky, if it weren't for his dark and thick hair, it would even make people feel that he was more than ten years older than his actual age.

In terms of appearance, Ren Shuai felt that Xie Jiu was a bit like the fat head in Jin Yong, who belonged to the appearance of the skeleton faction.

He thought to himself, God appreciates food, this kind of appearance is naturally suitable for making horror movies.

Ren Shuai greeted Xie Jiu with a smile, and then introduced himself.

This drama was invested by Cui Shaoyu, and the director Xie Jiu was also found by her, Xie Jiu naturally knew the identity of Ren Shuai, and everyone was half of their own people.

Xie Jiu likes freedom and does not sign a company, so in some cases, his contract will be handed over to Cui Shaoyu to help act as an agent.

When Mu Xiaoqing saw Ren Shuai speak, she also introduced herself to Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu said with a smile: "Su Yu has been showing off to me for a long time, saying that her best friend is a school flower, and she is very beautiful, so it is better to meet than to be famous." ”

Although Xie Jiuren looked a little scary, he still spoke very well, Mu Xiaoqing smiled and nodded in thanks.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, the producer began to beckon everyone to take a seat, ready to start reading the script.

In a large conference room, the main creative staff sat together, and the actors read the script dialogue by role, and everyone brainstormed, discussed, and figured out the relationship between the characters and characters over and over again.

Now everyone gets the script is Su Yu's recently revised version, but she didn't revise much, so I will first introduce the key revisions to everyone, so that all the cast and crew can understand.

They don't plan to make a full-length web series, because horror films are already niche, and on the other hand, they are also limited by the amount of investment, so they are expected to shoot only 12 episodes of this drama.

After Su Yu introduced the changes to the script, the actor began to read the lines according to his role.

This horror film actually doesn't have many lines, it's more about rendering the atmosphere and creating a terrifying atmosphere.

The words between Ren Shuai and Mu Xiaoqing did not last long.

Mu Xiaoqing is worthy of being born in a professional class, she is very familiar with the reading of the script, and she also knows the specific process, and after finishing the lines, she began to ask her doubts.

"Xiaoyu, I read the whole script, and I've been thinking about it for the past two days, I want to know, although the heroine escaped from this ward in the end, why was she arrested, and what does this drama want to express in the end?

Although I understand the characters' eagerness to escape, I have never been able to understand the intention of our show. ”

A TV series must not be terrifying for the sake of horror, there must be a dark line behind its core and back.

However, before Su Yu could speak, director Xie Jiu looked at Ren Shuai and asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think about this issue?" ”

Although Xie Jiu is young, he has a lot of experience in filming, especially when working with old actors, he is very good at learning from experience, and every time he encounters a problem, he will consult experienced seniors first.

This will help him avoid many detours.

But Ren Shuai is not a genuine old-timer.

He was stunned for a moment, as if a student who was distracted in class was suddenly named by the teacher.

This is the first time Ren Shuai has participated in the script reading meeting, although he has searched for the content on the Internet before, he does not know much about the specific situation, and he has always been watching with the mentality of a beginner, and he has no intention of saying more.

But Xie Jiu's sudden surprise instantly put him on the spot.

Ren Shuai hurriedly mobilized his years of Chinese reading comprehension ability and began to quickly think about the ideas behind this horror film.

The name of the TV series is "Ward 88", and the heroine suddenly strays into it one day, and there are different patients in each room.

Every patient is preventing the heroine from leaving, and only Ren Shuai, who lives next door to her, works together with her to help her leave.

But in fact, the mastermind behind the covert manipulation of everything is Ren Shuai.

In the real sense, it was Ren Shuai who prevented the heroine from leaving, and he was the behind-the-scenes manipulator of all the patients in this ward.

Ren Shuai thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out.

feels that this horror film has no beginning and no end, it is horror for the sake of horror, but he can't really say that.

Even if he didn't have a central idea, he would have to make one up right now.

Since reading comprehension skills cannot play a role at this moment, Ren Shuai has exerted another ability of his own - writing at the elementary level.

He puts himself in the shoes of an author, and thinks about what he wants to express if he were to write this work.

The next moment, Ren Shuai suddenly figured it out.

He raised his head and said slowly: "This is just my personal understanding, and it may not be accurate, but since it is a script reading meeting, everyone can discuss my understanding together." ”
