112 Agreed

Luo Heng didn't get angry after hearing this, because Ying Liang's words were very reasonable, and they were completely based on the script.

Even Luo Heng in his previous life was a middle-class family who grew up in a city, not to mention the privileged environment in this life, so he was still quite unfamiliar with rural life.

It's really a big problem for him.

"Director, it's okay to experience life, do you have any ideas?"

"I want you to go to the countryside of Zigong to experience it until you can communicate with the locals normally.

There are also many shots of Xu Yun's bare arms in the movie, which needs to show his figure.

Your body is quite different from that of a rural boy, and I can see that you are in good shape, but I want you to become the lean body of a rural boy, and you don't need much muscle on your body.

When you experience it, it will make you do farm work every day, and speed up the process."

According to Ying Liang's thoughts, if Luo Hengda communicates normally with the locals, it should be about the same.

Luo Heng thought for a while and asked a question: "Director Ying, how long will we shoot this film?"

"The last flood in the script is set against the backdrop of the summer flood season, so I expect to finish filming in July and August, and I expect it to be completed within a month."

Luo Heng thought to himself that it would not conflict with the filming of "The Condor Heroes".

"Then do as you say, I'll take care of things and start experiencing life."

Ying Liang breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Luo Heng would not be able to endure this hardship.

Until this time, this cooperation should be considered to be negotiated, and Luo Heng was not as difficult to communicate as he thought.

"Director Ying, you said you want to go to the film festival, do you have a goal?"

"The previous plan was to try it out, and the most promising one should be the Tokyo Film Festival, after all, they prefer this kind of film that explores the theme of father and son, and "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is a precedent."

"In essence, my father rarely appears in our movies, I feel that he is just a symbol and symbol, and it is more focused on depicting Xu Yun's growth and ritualized transformation, which is completely different from the oriental introverted father-son relationship. However, the little days have the following complexes, and they will indeed be popular over there.

But I think the goal should be set a little higher, such as the big three?"

Since he is going to take the route of winning awards, Luo Heng certainly wants to aim for the best.

Although the three major film festivals have different original intentions, they do not value high attention, high visibility, and high box office, and personality and innovation are their tastes.

Ying Liang smiled bitterly, the three major are the ultimate palace for him: "The three major in Europe have thresholds, and it is estimated that it will be more difficult for a newcomer director like me."

"It's not difficult, you just say which one is appropriate for us to participate?"

Luo Heng waved his hand, but he knew that the three major film festivals actually have public relations companies running, as long as you find the right way.

These things will be exposed in more than ten years.

The participation of these three film festivals is exclusive, that is, the film is submitted to one of the film festivals, and the other two film festivals cannot participate.

Ying Liang thought for a while and said:

"The Venice Film Festival is a big supporter of innovation, and it is a big support for films that are shot in new formats and in unique ways. There is a special admiration for new forms of film, and in general, it protects the unique pursuit of the artistic path of new directors.

Berlin, after all, has always been a bridgehead for the opposition between red and capital, and there is no doubt that the judges are most interested in the big and wide serious propositions.

The Festival de Cannes prefers realistic and artistically valuable films, and places more emphasis on the quality of films, especially those that play an important role. As far as the current momentum is concerned, Cannes has the best development, a strong platform, and the appreciation of the selected films should be the best among the three major film festivals, and it also attaches great importance to the local literary and artistic characteristics of films from various countries.

Our film itself is a realistic film, and the best fit for it is Cannes."

Hearing this, Luo Heng thought to himself, Cannes is good!

Of the three, Cannes is the most successful in its commercial operations, with a large number of film fairs and European deals

The largest market.

The more successful the commercial operation of this kind of film festival, the more room for public relations to play, and the ability to use money!

"What about the cast?"

"I still prefer to perform in the true colors of some local personnel in Zigong, which can show the state of marginal characters to the greatest extent."

"Yingdao, I have a suggestion. Other roles are fine, but are the two important roles of Scar and the policeman considered professional actors? After all, the details of some important scenes may not be presented by non-professional actors.

We can find some local actors in Sichuan and Shu Province, such as going to Sichuan and Shu Renyi to find some old actors. They have all lived through the barbaric era of the eighties and nineties, and I believe they still have this experience, and now there is time for them to prepare."

Ying Liang thought about it, Luo Heng's statement made sense, now it is not only 30,000 grass platform team, he should also change his thinking.

If you really want to compete for the big three, the performances of several important supporting roles are very important.

The script also has to improve a lot of details. The current script is written according to a budget of 30,000 yuan, and there are many scenes between Xu Yun and the supporting characters that have not been written, because there was no money to shoot at all, and I only planned to describe the plot from a long shot.

"Sichuan Shu people's art? I'll try to get in touch."

Scar is an experienced gangster bastard with his own morality.

Ying Liang won't look for a muscle***, that's Mr. Bodybuilder, not a street bastard. In fact, in reality, many street bastards don't have that good figure, especially in the southwest, some of the toughest ones are muscles and big bellies coexist, with open breasts and breasts.

As for the middle-aged policeman, he is not Wei Guangzheng, he represents kindness, but he is a little powerless, and has the philosophy of a grassroots policeman, but he can't deal with his broken family.

When it comes to Sichuan and Shu actors, the most famous one is Zhang Guoli, his acting skills are absolutely good, and the age of the middle-aged person is also appropriate, but it is estimated that it is difficult to invite.

Then there is the recently completed "Bright Sword", in which Political Commissar Zhao and Chu Yunfei's actors, He Zhengjun and Zhang Guangbei, are both from Sichuan and Shu.

But He Zhengjun looks too heroic and upright, and he has a kind of scholarly anger on his body, which is not suitable.

Although Zhang Guangbei is a native of Sichuan and Shu, he did not grow up in Sichuan and Shu, and it is estimated that he can't speak Sichuan and Shu well.

It's better to let Ying Liang find the actor himself, he doesn't want to argue with Ying Liang because of other castings. Moreover, there are many actors with very good acting skills in Sichuan and Shu Renyi, and there should be satisfactory results.

"In terms of photography, I would like to ask Yu Liwei, he is the photographer of "Xiao Wu", his photography style tends to be more plain and unassuming, and has a distinct realistic temperament.

Images that describe the lives of even the most marginal ordinary people, rough and plain are the meaning of this existence.

In particular, many of his empty shots are full of deep meaning, which is very suitable for the style of our films."

Luo Heng nodded and said, "Director Ying, the rest of the crew should be built according to what you want, our goal is to do our best, invite the most suitable person in your heart, and you don't have to worry about funds."

This kind of art film has topped millions of dollars, Ying Liang is not Wang Sunglasses, Luo Heng is not a fool, and the production and finance of the crew are all from their own companies.
