Chapter 7 Script Finalization
After settling down Peng Zulong and the others, Zhang Yang checked the company's situation, and after confirming that everyone was not fishing, he immediately began to put himself into a new job.
First of all, there is the matter of actor auditions.
From the last time the advertisement was placed to the present, the entire Internet has been shocked by this event, and countless young boys and girls with the dream of being actors have signed up, only about half a month later, the preliminary statistics company has received tens of thousands of information.
Now almost everyone in Xuanyu is conducting a preliminary screening of these materials.
First of all, all the obvious traces of beauty on some materials were removed.
Although Dragon Snake is a TV series, the production level is on par with the movie-level picture quality, and the kind of life that lives in beauty is not suitable for living on the screen.
Secondly, some of the ones whose appearance does not conform to the temperament of the original work are screened out again, and there may be mistakes and omissions, but there is no way, the workload is too large, and the omissions can only be missed.
Next, let's look at the learning experience.
Those who have undergone systematic actor study or who have participated in similar training courses can stay.
After reading the learning experience, look at the work experience.
Those who have experience related to acting, such as group performances, dramas, and stage performances, can stay.
Then look at the specialty.
Specialties such as martial arts, dance, etc., and those who obviously have physical training can also leave a batch.
Finally, let's look at academic qualifications.
This part of the screening is relatively simple, and the actor audition itself is a network-wide registration, and the academic qualifications are naturally high and low, and there are no too harsh requirements for publicity.
A group of people with high academic qualifications remained, a group of those with film and television school degrees remained, and the last batch of people with low academic qualifications can be left if they have okay looks, relevant experience, and relevant specialties.
After some preliminary screenings, there are about 50 copies that are finally presented to Zhang Yang.
These people are either experienced, have been a group performer in some works, or have martial arts specialties, or are good-looking.
Of course, in addition to the actors selected by the audition, some actors took the initiative to participate in the interview.
In the past, Xuanyu was a start-up and was not well-known in the industry, but this time for such a big event, many companies know the news, even if Dragon and Snake is a 12-episode online drama, but with an investment of tens of millions, there will always be actors who come to consult.
Even during this time, because Zhang Yang has been outside, some people have asked for roles through the relationship between Wang Fei's parents.
However, after coming back, Zhang Yang knew that he had rejected all of them.
In order to realize his fantasy dream, as long as the other party participates in the casting according to the normal process and his strength, he doesn't care, and the kind of trust relationship is all driven away!
After being busy for several days, Zhang Yang determined the final casting list, and after calling all the employees to come over for an interview, he began to read the script adapted by Li Xiaoqiang.
The previous selection of Li Xiaoqiang was because he took a fancy to a short part of his adaptation that was very original, and the characters' demeanor and movements were all in line with the feeling in the original book, but it was only a part of it at the time, and now he needs to take a good look at the script of the entire first season he gave.
After all, the other party is inexperienced, and the adaptation is completely inconsistent with the original work, and when the time comes, the dragon and snake will be scolded for fighting and turning horses, and Xuanyu will be sprayed to the end.
It took several hours for Zhang Yang to read the entire script.
Aside from a few minor flaws, the whole script is unexpectedly okay.
Like some screenwriters in the industry, there are almost no random characters, unauthorized changes to characters, inconsistent dialogues, etc., all of which are changed according to his requirements, the characters speak and act logically and clearly, and the plot is also in line with the original work, and some bloody and violent scenes have been changed, and on the whole, it is a book that suits his heart.
It can be said that according to this script, this drama can be called "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" from the inside out, instead of being sprayed out of some TV series whose name is like the original book and nothing like the original after it was filmed.
"That's a good change." Zhang Yang praised Li Xiaoqiang who was sitting in the office.
He has been in charge of Xuanyu for a long time now, and hundreds of people under his command rely on him to eat, and he is becoming more and more like a president, and he is no longer the same as a student before.
This appearance made Li Xiaoqiang, who was sitting in the office, nervous.
He is a novice who has just graduated from school, and the first time he got started was an online drama, which was a high starting point for many newcomers.
I was called over today, and I heard the secretary say that Mr. Zhang wanted to read the script, and I was still a little scared, and when I read the script, Zhang Yang didn't speak, so scared that he sat on the sofa in the office, which was called a restless seat.
Fortunately, it wasn't until just now, when he heard Zhang Yang's praise, that his hanging heart finally relaxed.
"Mr. Zhang, is there anything else that needs to be changed?"
Li Xiaoqiang was cautious, and his voice was a little quiet.
"En......" Zhang Yang pondered for a while.
"That's good, you go back and refine it, and then bring it to me."
"Then after a few days the actors are confirmed, they will be distributed, and then they will be filmed according to your current script."
"Let's go back."
Li Xiaoqiang was relieved and walked out of the office.
By the time all this was done, it was past 9 o'clock in the evening, and the entire company was off work except for his work secretary.
"Get off work, Xiaohan, it's hard work."
The secretary's name is Lin Xiaohan, and he is very young.
At this time, looking at the boss in front of him, he secretly admired it in his heart.
[It's really amazing to have such a big company at such a young age. 】
What she was thinking, Zhang Yang didn't know.
After a long day of work, I was so tired that I couldn't do it, and now I just want to sleep.
Stretching his back, he let the secretary go home, then got up to go back to his newly rented apartment.
During this time, he had successfully graduated, and the school moved out and rented a two-bedroom apartment by himself.
Packing up and packing up, there was a sudden knock on the office, and Wang Fei walked in through the door.
"Done? Old place to drink? Wang Fei leaned against the door and said with a hippie smile.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Zhang Yang was a little puzzled, he thought that Wang Fei had left early.
Wang Fei spread his hands and said with a smile: "You big boss didn't leave, how can I go, besides, what is the relationship between the two of us, how can I leave you and let you go home alone and lonely." ”
"Get out of here, Daddy." Zhang Yang scolded with a smile, "Let's go, the old place at the school gate." ”
"My son is in for a treat." Wang Fei pointed at him and laughed.
Driving all the way to school, the laughter on the road seemed to dispel the fatigue of the two brothers during this time.
After graduating from school, in just a few months, starting a company, busy with the crew, advertising, actors, a lot of things, during this time, the two of them were so busy that they didn't know how long they hadn't eaten together.
Either you're not in the company or you're so tired that you just want to sleep.
Today, the two of them finally got together, bragged and joked with each other, blew beer on bottles, ate and drank until more than 1 o'clock in the evening, and indulged well, only to feel that the fatigue of this time was resolved.
Although my body is still tired, my heart is much more relaxed.
