Chapter 493: Finalize the Actors
"Boss, the lawyer hired has contacted five students who have been bullied, and the parents of three of them are willing to cooperate and provide relevant evidence. The other two are reluctant to have too much contact with lawyers for fear of reprisals. ”
Qiao Yinghong brought the work content reported by the lawyer last week to Fang Xing.
Fang Xing flipped through it casually, mainly from some scars left by bullying.
The scars are not large, and most of them are mainly burns.
Judging from this evidence, it is actually of little use.
In cases like school bullying, if the bully is a minor and the victim is only suffering from minor injuries, it is usually useless to call the police.
Legally, for school bullying to reach the level of sentencing, it needs to cause minor injuries to the victim, or even disability, before it can be sentenced.
However, what is legally defined as a minor injury is actually very serious to meet the standard, basically to the extent of a broken hand or foot.
Therefore, these photos are infuriating to look at, but they are not very useful.
"Are there any serious injuries?" Fang Xing asked.
Qiao Yinghong shook her head and replied, "Judging from the information found by the lawyer, it is basically this kind of flesh wound. ”
She paused and added, "However, the lawyer went to talk to the high school student who sent the email, and the bullies began to vent their anger at her." ”
Fang Xing didn't know what to say: "So after the transfer, nothing has changed." ”
Qiao Yinghong shrugged helplessly: "It seems like this." In addition, the three bullies also had contact with some people in society. ”
Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "In this way, find a few people who are good at following and photographing, go and follow those three people, and get direct evidence." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it later." Qiao Yinghong agreed, and then continued to report on the preparations for the new drama.
……
The audition of the actors in the middle school period of the new drama has basically ended.
I ran the acting departments of seven or eight art academies and auditioned for more than a thousand newcomers.
Subsequently, the crew held a meeting to discuss which newcomers to use.
Auditions are recorded.
Among the more than 1,000 resumes, Fang Xing has marked seventy or eighty copies, and then turned out the audition videos of these seventy or eighty newcomers, re-watched them, and then discussed.
"I think this is okay, this boy is very handsome, suitable for playing the rich second generation." The casting director suggested.
There are five people in the bullying group in the play, two men and three women, and one of the boys is a rich second generation, who is the number two person in the bullying group.
This character does need to be slightly handsome.
"The image is really okay, this one is left as a backup." Fang Xing also felt that this newcomer was okay.
Among the five members of the bullying group, in fact, the female leader of the bullying group has the most roles, and she is also the most important villain in the play.
The middle school roles of several other people are not demanding.
But the acting skills of the female leader of this bullying group are very demanding, and people should feel that this person is very ruthless at a glance, and they don't treat others as people.
Fang Xing was in Xu Zhiwen's class and auditioned for a somewhat amazing female student.
When this female student showed that kind of expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling at the camera, Fang Xing felt that it was too suitable.
After the actors of the five members of the bullying group were determined, it was time for the heroine to choose the actors in middle school.
I watched all the actors who auditioned for the heroine in middle school, and there were one or two who were okay, but I was a little dissatisfied.
Every time Fang Xing watched the audition video, he would involuntarily think of the female student at the Normal University.
Obviously, this female student of the Normal University has no acting skills, but she was like at that time in her mind, and compared with these acting students from the professional class, she didn't know who to choose for a while.
"Director Fang, can't you do both? I think both of these are a good fit. Zhang Yigao asked.
"No, after the audition that day, I met a female student at the door, and I thought her image was unexpectedly appropriate, that kind of innocent look, easy to remember." Fang Xing said.
"Is there an audition video?" Zhang Yigao was puzzled and began to flip through the resume in front of him.
"No video was recorded." Fang Xing shook his head.
"Director Fang wants to use that female student?" Zhang Yigao asked.
"I'm not sure yet, but I can find it and audition again to see if I have any potential." After thinking about it, Fang Xing decided to give it a try.
Although they are not from a professional class, these newcomers are all students, and their acting skills are just like that.
is also because they are going to play middle school students, which can be regarded as acting in their true colors, and their requirements for acting skills are actually not so high.
Fang Xing flipped out the A4 paper with the contact information written on it, handed it to the casting director, and said, "You notify her to come over and audition again." ”
The casting director didn't delay, took out his mobile phone and called.
After asking a few words, the casting director put down his mobile phone and said with a surprised face: "I asked her to come over now, and she asked us if we would be reimbursed for the travel expenses." ”
"Reimbursement of travel expenses?" Fang Xing also showed a puzzled expression.
If you take a taxi from Donghai Normal University, it's about thirty or forty yuan.
"She said that she and her classmates went to Moon Lake to participate in the event, and there was no shuttle bus back at this point, and it cost two or three hundred yuan to take a taxi back and forth." The casting director explained.
Two or three hundred dollars may not seem like much, but for students, it is not necessarily.
If you are a work-study student, two or three hundred yuan is almost half a month's food expenses.
"Reimbursement, you directly add her WeChat and transfer it to her." Fang Xing confirmed.
After doing a good job, everyone continued to discuss the casting.
After about fifty minutes, a female student was brought in at the front desk.
"Good director." As soon as An Xiaoran entered the door, she hurriedly bowed and said hello.
Fang Xing stood up and said, "You come here." ”
Then take her to the rehearsal room next door.
"Call the acting teacher over and see if it works." Fang Xing and the assistant director whispered.
It didn't take long.
The acting teacher comes in.
Fang Xing introduced: "This is the acting teacher hired by the company, Hao Yilei. ”
Hao Yilei is an acting teacher hired by Ark Culture from the Film Academy, and when filming a new drama, sometimes the acting teacher needs to teach some acting experience.
Hao Yilei is not only an acting teacher, but also has filmed many TV series, and she can control any type of female role.
"Hello teacher." An Xiaoran hurriedly bowed and said hello.
"Hello." Hao Yilei looked at the girl twice, and then talked to Fang Xing in a low voice.
Fang Xing said: "Her image is in line with the role of the new drama, but she is not from a professional class, so I asked you to test her to see if she can do it." ”
"What are you going to play?" Hao Yilei nodded and asked the script directly.
"Let's try a crying scene."
Fang Xing said, telling a scene on the spot: "Now, you are a middle school student who has been bullied by your classmates, you are hiding from the bully at school, and you are even ready to drop out."
However, the bully couldn't find you at school, so he ran to your house and smashed the piggy bank you had saved for years.
"You've saved a few years of change, and you don't even spend as much money as a bully on a meal.
"They pick up rolls of change from broken piggy banks and laugh at you.
"Let's do this, you cry."
An Xiaoran was a little stunned, she hadn't learned acting, she didn't know how to start, and there was no piggy bank around.
Hao Yilei saw that this girl was a blank piece of paper, and said, "Look at my hand." ”
She held a non-existent piggy bank in both hands, raised it and smashed it on the ground: "Bang! The piggy bank is broken, act! ”
An Xiaoran opened her eyes and looked at the floor, showing an aggrieved expression, wanting to cry but couldn't.
When Hao Yilei saw her performance, she was a little anxious, and guided on the side: "It's okay if you can't get out of your tears, but you have to show your grievances and anger." ”
An Xiaoran tried hard to act, but it never fit the situation.
After a few attempts.
Hao Yilei crossed her waist with one hand, thought for a while, and asked, "Can I beat you?" ”
"Huh?"
An Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
"Is that okay?" Hao Yilei asked again.
An Xiaoran nodded inexplicably.
Then, Hao Yilei raised her hand and slapped her.
The force was not heavy, but it made a sound.
An Xiaoran was stunned at first, and then raised her hand to cover her beaten face, her eyes were full of doubts and grievances, and she even wanted to cry with a sour nose.
"Huh! That's right, that's it, remember this expression. Hao Yilei praised.
Fang Xing also felt that her expression after being beaten was very natural, very in line with the state after being bullied.
However, looking at her like this, she was really stunned.
Fang Xing explained: "An Xiaoran, you are here to audition for a role in the TV series, that is to say, your current identity is an actor, if there is a beating scene in the play, the actor will be beaten, can you understand?" ”
An Xiaoran was just a little confused at first, but soon understood what was going on.
She nodded and replied, "I understand, I'm just ......"
Hao Yilei raised her hand and interrupted: "It's okay, the expression you covered your face just now was very natural, but it was a blank sheet of paper, and it would be very hard to be an actor." Figure it out for yourself. ”
After finishing speaking, she turned around and communicated with Fang Xing.
"Looking at the performance, it can be taught, but it's hard to say if the shooting doesn't go well."
Fang Xing shook his head and said: "Understand, try it first, it's too late to change people if you can't do it." ”
Since the heroine did not have many scenes in middle school, in case this An Xiaoran did not act well, it would not be difficult to change people to shoot.
After thinking clearly, Fang Xing said to her, "Do you want to participate?" The middle school days when she played the heroine. ”
"Really? Can I really? An Xiaoran's eyes widened suddenly.
"Yes, if you're sure you want to act, you're ready to sign a contract." Fang Xing affirmed.
"Hmm...... Is it paid? An Xiaoran was a little embarrassed, but decided to ask clearly.
Fang Xing smiled, but thinking that she had to ask if she could be reimbursed for her taxi fare of two or three hundred yuan, he knew that her economic conditions should not be very good.
"Of course there is, but not too much."
Fang Xing called the assistant director and arranged: "Take her to see the contract, and the salary will be calculated according to the top special actor." ”
According to the calculation of special actors, the ordinary salary is about 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a day.
For senior special actors, the salary will be more than 5,000 yuan a day.
According to her role, she can get about 30,000 or 40,000 yuan after filming.
For a female student who feels distressed about the taxi fare of two or three hundred yuan, thirty or forty thousand yuan is already a huge amount of money.
An Xiaoran heard that there was so much money, and her expression was very excited.
Originally, she liked to watch Fang Xing's TV series, and girls love fantasy, and sometimes she would think about what it would be like to be the heroine.
A week ago, she unexpectedly saw the Ark Culture new drama auditioning actors, and the audition location was next door to their school.
She wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect to be chosen.
……
After the actors in middle school are finalized, it is the turn of casting the other main characters.
In the story line of the heroine's adulthood, the five members of the bullying group have become what they dream of becoming.
The female leader of the bullying group became a weather anchor and married the president of an upper-class construction company, which can be said to have reached the pinnacle of her life.
Such a noble and beautiful character on the outside, but ugly on the inside, has very high requirements for acting skills.
Even the requirements for acting skills are not lower than those of the heroine.
The heroine has been finalized, and there is no problem with finding Song Li to play.
However, the female leader of this bullying group is a villain, which will make many female stars repuls.
The female leader of this bullying troupe not only requires acting skills, but also requires a noble and beautiful appearance, and also performs the ugliness and dirtiness of the heart.
This kind of requirement is more difficult than finding an actress for the heroine.
After all, it is already difficult to find an actress who is beautiful and has good acting skills.
has acting skills and looks good, why don't you take on the heroine? To take on the role of this female villain?
Those who have the ability to play this role can play the heroine of other dramas.
Most of the actors who are willing to take on this role can't hold up.
……
Of course, in the new drama of Ark Culture, there are still many actors who are willing to participate.
In the hands of the casting director, there is a stack of actors' resumes.
However, either the acting skills can't hold up, or they are not beautiful enough.
There are a few suitable ones left, and after communication, they are not very willing to take on this role.
Fang Xing was not in a hurry, and let the casting director continue to look for it.
It was noon that day.
Fang Xing's mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was a message from Lin Yingxue.
Lin Yingxue: "I've been preparing for the new drama for so long, is there a role I can play?" ”
In fact, Lin Yingxue's agency has been in contact with the crew for a long time, but now Lin Yingxue's salary is too high, and the role is not very suitable.
Fang Xing replied with a message: "There is still a female No. 2 missing, but a villain, the kind that will be cut by the audience after the broadcast." Do you dare to act? ”
Lin Yingxue had a cute expression: "I'm so simple and kind, does the director really think I can play a villain?" ”
Fang Xing felt that even if she wanted to, her agency would not agree.
After "Hurricane" became popular, there were too many film and television companies looking for her to film, and she had scripts in her hand to choose.
Not to mention, she was also nominated for the Flying Eagle Award for Best Actress, although she knew from the beginning that she was an accompaniment, but it was already an honor to be nominated for the Flying Eagle Award.
proves that her acting skills have been recognized.
Fang Xing replied to her message directly: "Then there is no one, and you may not be able to play this female villain role." The requirements for acting skills are even higher than those of the female one. ”
Lin Yingxue was a little surprised when she heard this.
Who is the female number one?
Song Li.
The acting requirements of this female villain role are even higher than that of the female number one, which is also too exaggerated.
Lin Yingxue asked, "Impossible." Didn't the female one finalize Teacher Song Li? ”
Fang Xing replied: "Forget it, I won't tell you, there is still work." ”
Lin Yingxue hurriedly asked: "If you want to send me a script, I'll take a look." ”
Fang Xing didn't mind, and passed a script to her.
