Chapter 142: Casting is over

The investment in "Train to Busan" has basically caught up with all the family resources of Magic Shadow Media, and this kind of big production must not just find an actress to play the heroine.

Most of the suitable actresses in the circle are generally not optimistic about this movie for various reasons, and they have no desire to participate.

There are some who are willing, but the opening is an eight-figure salary, and this kind of person Demon Shadow Media can't afford it at all.

According to the current budget, most of the funds allocated for "Train to Busan" are used for scene construction and special effects production, and the actors' salaries are estimated to be less than 10 million.

Alas, it's really hard to find a good and inexpensive heroine.

Seeing that Qin Yan was silent, Ma Dongcheng thought that Qin Yan was a little dissatisfied with Pei Yueying.

He hesitated, and suddenly said, "Brother Qin, I think Pei Yueying is really suitable." You should also know her acting skills, and the last time we recorded the variety show "Challenge the Impossible", didn't I be in a group with Pei Yueying, and my character is also very good when we get along. ”

Qin Yan smiled bitterly, guessing in his heart that Liu Feng estimated that he had a personal relationship with Pei Yueying, otherwise he would definitely not recommend the other party so hard.

It's just that making a movie is not child's play, and private feelings should be put aside first.

"Brother Liu, in business, making movies has little to do with character. Besides, Pei Yueying's acting skills are good, but acting in a TV series is completely different from acting in a movie. Qin Yan said calmly.

It's not that he doesn't give Liu Feng face, it's just that Pei Yueying really can't reach the passing line of the heroine in her heart.

When it comes to Pei Yueying, Qin Yan's first impression is that she is sexy, she shows enough clothes, and the TV series she starred in can be popular, in addition to her good acting skills, it is not without her "selling meat" ingredient in it.

Seeing that Qin Yan didn't explain, Liu Feng was helpless in his heart.

"It's really not okay, it seems that Pei Yueying can only find other ways to return to the film industry, when I met her in the morning, she also said that if she can act in this movie, she would rather not have a dime of salary." Liu Feng sighed.

QIN YAN HAD ALREADY COMPLETELY PASSED PEI YUEYING, BUT AFTER HEARING LIU FENG'S LAST WORDS, HE SUDDENLY STOOD UP.

"Brother Liu, Pei Yueying, she really doesn't want to be paid?"

"yes, she said it herself."

Liu Feng nodded blankly, not understanding why Qin Yan was so excited.

Isn't it weird not to be paid?

As far as he knows, isn't Ma Dongcheng also directing this movie with zero pay.

Money is important, but fame is obviously even more important.

After becoming famous, you can make money lying down, which is especially obvious for artists.

Therefore, in order to get a chance to become famous, some actors in the circle are "zero pay", even if it is an "unspoken rule", they all go up the pole.

Qin Yan is also the owner of an entertainment company, so he should know these things very well.

It's just that Liu Feng doesn't know that Qin Yan's Magic Shadow Media is also having a very sad time at the moment, just like those artists who are not famous.

The investment in "Train to Busan" is not much, and Qin Yan doesn't want to finance filming, so the funds are even more stretched.

So now as soon as Liu Feng said that Pei Yueying was willing to act with zero pay, he instantly became interested.

This matter may be discussed.

At least for Pei Yueying's sincerity, how can she give people a chance to audition.

If Pei Yueying was really suitable, wouldn't it save a lot of money.

The current actors' salaries are really too expensive.

Although Liu Feng's appearance was at a friendly price, the salary of 5 million also made Qin Yan a little painful.

No way, when I first started making movies, this pattern has not yet opened.

According to normal circumstances, the movie salary of a first-line actor is at least more than 10 million, like Jia Teng among the first-line actors, his salary is more than 30 million.

In other words, the previous bet between Qin Yan and Jia Teng was at least equivalent to picking up 30 million for nothing.

"Brother Liu, I've decided, you inform Pei Yueying tomorrow, no, come to the interview today!" Qin Yan said sonorously.

……

Pei Yueying was in Yanjing, so he soon came to Magic Shadow Media.

The interview was conducted by Qin Yan and Ma Dongcheng.

Originally, I wanted to bring Yu Fei here, but Yu Fei said that she went to a second-line interview for a first-line interview, and she was not so thick-skinned, so she didn't come.

As for Jia Nanren, he doesn't care about these things at all, this guy is now bent on diplomacy, and he rarely comes to the company recently.

Pei Yueying's interview went well, and Qin Yan and Ma Dongcheng recognized him.

Not to mention that Ma Dongcheng and Pei Yueying have also worked together many times and have known each other many times, so they will be a little selfish in it.

After the heroine set Bae Yue-ying, the casting of "Train to Busan" was officially announced.

Next, you can prepare the crew and officially start the filming of the movie.

In order to learn more experience, Qin Yan also took the position of assistant director in the crew, and the producer of the film is still served by Xiao Hong.

……

Half a moon passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yan, who ended the filming of the movie "Red Ling", completely relaxed.

This is the most worry-free drama he filmed, and the filming time was 10 days in advance.

In the end, they are all top students of Yenching Film Academy, and most of the scenes are basically done all over again.

And because the actor is Mr. Wang Donglin, there is no need for Qin Yan to worry about the actor's affairs at all. As long as Teacher Wang Donglin glanced over, none of those students were as scared as cats and mice.

In addition, Qin Yan was shot according to the standard 40-minute short film this time, so it is not difficult to understand that it only took 15 days to shoot.

After the film is filmed, the next thing to do is the editing.

This "Red Ling" is used to participate in the director's competition, so the publicity work can basically be ignored, after all, the finals have been changed to be scored by some leaders of the film association, instead of voting by the audience as before.

During the editing of the movie, another work on Qin Yan's side fell into a bottleneck.

Qin Yan, the theme song of the same name of the movie, was still handed over to Yu Fei to sing, but Yu Fei couldn't meet Qin Yan's standards this time.

Yu Fei can still control the ordinary singing part of the song, but when it comes to those drama parts, she can't sing that charm at all.

Qin Yan compared the effect of Yu Fei's singing with the version of Tan Jing in his memory, and found that the gap was not ordinarily large.

It can't be compared.

No wonder Tan Jing in her previous life was called the "big devil" among singers.

The song "Red Ling" sung by Tan Jing in my memory integrates ethnic, bel canto and popular singing skills, and the conversion of drama and popular singing is so natural, which enhances the charm of the song.

Although Yu Fei has also learned to sing, she has learned popular singing, which is completely incomparable with a big man of Tan Jing's level, and Qin Yan's requirements are too high, so the result can be imagined.

Qin Yan was depressed, and Yu Fei was also a little depressed.

"I don't sing, I don't sing, I haven't learned bel canto, I haven't studied opera, I can't meet your perverted requirements at all." Yu Fei said angrily rarely.

At the end of the day, she was so tossed that her throat was smoking.

People have worked very hard, and now they have been recording all day, this guy not only does not comfort himself, but he is still picking on the thorns anyway, and he is not satisfied here and there.
