Chapter 51: The cast is confirmed
In most cases, when the director selects the actors, the first thing to look at is that the image and temperament do not match the character setting, and then to examine the acting skills of the actors.
Except for big-name stars, ordinary actors basically can't see the script when they attend auditions.
Therefore, when an actor auditions, the most important thing is his ability to improvise, the director says that you will play whatever you want, and any bizarre role setting may appear.
"Mr. Yu, your identity is a journalist, and your companion is a police officer."
Fang Yan briefly explained the scenario setting: "You are following the police for an interview this time, but in a chase activity, you and the police fell into the hands of a group of criminals."
"Because the criminal and the police have a grudge, so they hurt him, just when the criminals were about to kill you, the rescue team arrived, so the criminals fled in a panic, and you were lucky to save your life."
The scene Fang Yan said was very similar to the ending plot of "Ke Ke Xili", and he wanted to see how Yu Hewei would interpret this key fragment.
I have to say that Yu Hewei did have two brushes, and after thinking about it for a while, he signaled that he could start.
Four staff members quickly stepped forward and played the roles of police officers and criminals respectively, playing against Yu and Wei.
"Let's go!"
Fang Yan gave an order, and two "criminals" grabbed Yu Hewei's arms from behind and dragged him aside.
"You...... What are you going to do? Yu Hewei's face was panicked, struggling to restrain him.
"If you don't want to die, shut up!"
The "criminal gang boss" glared at Yu Hewei fiercely, and then pulled the prop gun in his hand and killed the "policeman" with one shot.
The moment the gunshot rang out, Yu Hewei's body trembled uncontrollably, and then he sat on the ground with his legs weak.
Pretty!
Fang Yan smiled and nodded, he appreciated Yu Hewei's delicate performance in his heart.
"Boss, there's a note coming, let's withdraw quickly!"
Several "criminals" fled in a panic, leaving Yu and Wei alone to kneel numbly on the ground.
"Uh......h Ha ......"
Yu Hewei gasped, got up and walked towards the corpse of the "policeman".
Looking at the corpse in front of him, the expression on Yu Hewei's face was very complicated, frightened, sad, angry, and even a little bit of luck, he completely played this role.
"OK, that's it!"
Fang Yan applauded and said, "Mr. Yu, thank you for bringing us a wonderful performance."
"Director, you've won the award."
Yu Hewei smiled modestly and wiped the hot sweat on his head with his hands. It can be seen that he did his best to show his best level in the performance just now.
The role of Gayu is actually the role of a tool man in "Ke Ke Xili", and he leads the audience to appreciate the local culture and environment as a third-party perspective.
Compared with the two characters of Ritai and Liu Dong, Gayu gives people the feeling of being ordinary, basically without any characteristics, and it is difficult for people to remember.
To be honest, Yu Hewei came to play Gayu, and his acting skills were definitely more than enough.
In the later auditions, no actor could compare to Yu and Wei, and in the end, after discussion between Fang Yan and the two assistant directors, the three unanimously decided to play Gayu because of He Wei.
In this way, the three most important male roles in "Ke Ke Xili", the actors have all been determined.
In terms of female roles, the most important role in "Ke Ke Xili" is the escort girl - Leng Xue.
It's a pity that Leng Xue, as the titular "first heroine", only has a role of about 10 minutes.
Such an inconspicuous role, you have to go thousands of miles away to play it in Hoh Xili, coupled with the reason that the salary is not high, naturally there are not many girl actors willing to play.
Yu Nan stood out from the crowd among the few auditioners, and she won the role without much effort.
After the audition, the crew officially signed contracts with several main actors.
Duobujie starred in Ritai, and the salary was 200,000.
Yu Hewei starred as Gayu, and the salary was 150,000.
Duan Long starred as Liu Dong, and the salary was 100,000.
Yu Nan starred in Leng Xue, and the salary was 60,000.
This kind of conscience remuneration price will only appear in the current era, and after 10 years, the mantissa will be at least 0.
…………
At the beginning of July, the Imperial Capital Film Academy.
"Yay—finally graduated!"
Liu Shixian happily waved the graduation certificate in his hand, and his excitement was beyond words.
Fang Yan looked at the festive and lively scene in front of him, and he was also quite emotional in his heart.
Looking back on the experience since the time travel, everything is like a dream, and it feels so unreal.
At this moment, I will officially bid farewell to my identity as a student and enter a new stage of my life.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Yu Nan poked Fang Yan lightly, and said teasingly: "Seeing that you are reluctant, just stay and study for graduate school."
"Please, which eye do you see that I'm reluctant?"
Fang Yan sighed and said: "I finally got free, but I don't want to stay in school and continue to go to prison."
For Fu Fang Yan, it is completely meaningless to take the postgraduate entrance examination for a doctorate, isn't it fragrant for him to make a few more movies to make money and win awards at this time?
Take the second half of this year as an example, Fang Yan has a lot of things to do.
As the director of "Hoh Xili", Fang Yan will go to the Hoh Xil area with the crew in a few days to conduct field research, find a shooting site, and make a shooting plan.
After the preliminary work of the film is completed, Fang Yan will turn his energy to music and prepare for the production of Tan Weiwei's first album.
Unlike last time, this time Fang Yan produced the album, and there were many things to be responsible for.
Select album songs, direct singers to record, shoot and produce MV......
Although the release of the album was handed over to Chen Jiantian's Red Star Music Production Agency, Fang Yan, as the boss of the producer, must not be completely let go, and many things about the release need to be communicated and negotiated with each other.
Regardless of whether the album is finished or not, in October, Fang Yan will work with the entire crew to shoot a movie in the difficult environment of Hoh Xili.
The whole film must be filmed within this year, Han Sanping and Fang Yan have discussed, and plan to finish filming as soon as possible and participate in the competition as soon as possible.
If "Ke Ke Xili" can win awards at the three major European film festivals, it will be of great help to the domestic release plan.
The benefits of winning awards at the three major European film festivals are not only in China, as long as the films that win awards in the main competition unit, filmmakers in various regions abroad will also spend a lot of money to buy them.
At that time, you will earn foreign exchange such as dollars and euros, and you can sell them casually to return to your capital.
