Chapter 141: Criteria for Signing Artists

Chen Xi signed an actor, and the first criterion must be good-looking, but the standard of good-looking varies from person to person.

Secondly, according to a certain small proportion, a few actors who are not so good-looking, but have very characteristics are signed.

The characteristic here is not to say special, but because of some special temperament...

Qu Chuxiao is a very characteristic type.

In later generations, whether it is a professional class or a non-professional class, the convergence is becoming more and more serious, and there are fewer and fewer recognizable actors.

That is, idolization!

There is no texture, full of paper and plastic...

Therefore, after Peng Yuchang came out a little, he immediately sent a bunch of good resources to the door, because his appearance is very suitable for playing ordinary people, which is different from most young actors in the circle - young actors of the traffic school generally give people an impression of whiteness, beauty, and extravagance...

The actors who go out of the traffic are constantly torn up resources and temporarily change roles, and it is because they are seriously homogeneous that there is nothing irreplaceable.

There are two ways to operate the casting of a play.

The first idea is to look at the traffic and compare the coffee position. If you want to sell a good price, you have to follow this line of thinking.

Once the script is finalized, or the script for the first ten episodes is released, the actors can be approached.

At this time, the casting team will list the suitable actors with a schedule according to the estimated start time. The strong head company will knock the top in the list, and the waist company that is not strong will cast a wide net and catch whoever counts.

In this casting idea, the image of the actor and the acting skills are not considered for the appropriate role.

Even some old-fashioned period dramas with a large age span may find Xiao Xianrou to act in order to sell them at a good price.

This kind of thinking is just looking at the traffic!

If you want to find Xiao Zhan, he has no schedule, you can replace Wang Yibo, Gong Jun and even Tan Jianci, who have the same traffic position. In the eyes of the casting director, the actors who go through the traffic are usually similar in image and acting skills, and the replaceability is very high.

The second is to find an actor for the right role. For medium-budget crews, there is not much difference in the flow of waist actors, so it is better to carefully choose a suitable actor to be "small and beautiful".

At this time, usually the boss and director will list a few suitable actor names according to the impression of the actors they usually accumulate, and tell the casting team to contact.

At the same time, the casting team will also find some actors of the same style to make alternatives according to the actors listed by the boss and director.

Qu Chuxiao is difficult to replace!

- It has male hormones, and the role it plays can highlight a force.

Types are scarce!

When Qu Chuxiao was exposed to black material, some directors in the industry predicted that as long as these materials were not fatal, Qu Chuxiao would have a play and rise up later. There is only one reason why he dares to be so sure, Qu Chuxiao's type is too lacking.

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Qu Chuxiao's schedule will be left for me, and by the way, he will be arranged to learn table tennis for three months, at least to be proficient..."

Chen Xi nodded, and said by the way: "I knew you definitely needed this hexagram!" ”

Yang Xiaomi decisively became interested: "Which one to hang?" ”

"See for yourself!"

Chen Xi handed the phone to Yang Xiaomi, who looked at it and frowned: "It's not good-looking!" ”

"Yes, not enough milk, but textured... This kind of actor can quickly establish himself with literary films..."

"Our company still makes literary films?"

“… There are about five or six years left in the booming period of the market, and commercial films eat meat, and literary films drink soup..."

Yang Xiaomi was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang, and she hurriedly handed it back: "The phone is ringing!" ”

"Who?"

"You wrote about the General Directorate Officer 1..."

"Officer 1... Oh, Director Chen..."

Chen Xi immediately changed his tone: "Director Chen... What do you command? ”

"Yes, yes, sports themes... It's called "Ping Pong"..."

"The Sports Bureau wants to intervene?"

"Wait a minute... Xudong is right next to me..."

Chen Xi took the phone to Shen Xudong...

……

Zhou Xun and Chen Kun set up a brokerage company called Dongshen Future, and signed several actors with high-level faces.

Superior here does not mean exquisite, but suitable for storytelling...

Zhang Jingyi, Zhou You...

Dongshen's idea of cultivating new actors is correct, but it is a pity that the film market after the epidemic is cold. There are not a few film projects that are yellow, not to mention literary film projects, and literary films have directly entered the "Ice Age".

Later, commercial films became more and more inclined to bet on familiar faces, and did not dare to easily use new faces.

Therefore, Huang Bo has four movies in one summer!

The probability of newcomers coming out of the movie is getting smaller and smaller.

So we can see that Dongshen's artists are now starring in sweet pet youth and ancient puppet dramas, which is very different from the previous positioning.

And after these people starred in sweet pet youth and ancient puppet dramas, they quickly became obscure to everyone, and they were not even as good-looking as "everyone".

In fact, the mainstream sweet pet youth and ancient puppet dramas let the "special face" actors play, which is not in line with the public aesthetics, and it is not helpful to the drama and the actors themselves, it is a state of mutual loss.

……

Shen Xudong received a phone call, didn't finish the meal, and arrived directly at the General Administration with Chen Xi...

sat down first, and then Director Chen took a document: "You take a look at it first..."

Shen Xudong hurriedly flipped through...

Well, it's the opinion of the Sports Bureau, a bunch of general directions: promote the spirit of sports, develop sports culture, and unite China's strength; Use the art of sports and the art of sports to tell sports stories well, build the spiritual palace of the people, make "Ping Pong" a monument in the history of Chinese sports films, and condense the powerful power of Chinese children to realize the Chinese dream...

Shen Xudong was speechless, "Ping Pong" is not just table tennis, it can be replaced by any sport, badminton, tennis or even baseball...

"No, I make movies and they give guidance? Something is wrong? Do they understand movies? ”

“… But you're filming "Ping Pong"! You should know that table tennis is the national sport! ”

Shen Xudong rolled his eyes: "I also know that there are very few people who watch table tennis..."

It is a fact that the charm of sports lies in the unknown and impact, but in China, table tennis is the most lacking in these two things, there are many people who play, but there are really few people who watch.

Because you win!

"This is the opinion from above..."

"No, I'm not making a sports movie, if I want to make "Chinese Ping Pong", I can set up a plot like this: Chinese table tennis was not good in the early days, experienced failures and setbacks, then trained hard, and finally fought back, and finally won the victory and achieved honor for the country... But this "Ping Pong" is about talent, training, love... A story about the confusion of youth. ”

"You're not interested at all?"

“… I'm not interested at all, and you should know a lot about the Sports Bureau, right? Do you think I'm in trouble? ”

"Chinese Table Tennis: The Jedi Strikes Back", this kind of film, from the internal screening to the premiere, a member of the current national table tennis cannot be seen. The current national table tennis would even rather shoot "Spin, Ping Pong"...

Why?

Didn't get Liu Guoliang!

The core of this movie is to understand the series of broken things in national table tennis, and then avoid all sensitive points, and finally give a main theme theme.

If you really dare to shoot, it's strange if you don't get hit on the head and bleed!

What grade, dare to shoot the Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships?

You can't get around Cai when you shoot the Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships, there is no solution to this...

You must know that with Lang Ping's great energy + the Chinese women's volleyball team's collective real-name appearance, they have to face the requirements of the Volleyball Association to change their names, why didn't you consider the risk of internal political struggle in national table tennis at all?

In China, engaging in movies, especially this kind of movie, is actually a matter of sophistication, that is, a dinner invitation.

This kind of theme, can the screenwriter shoot it as soon as he pats his head?

Shen Xudong didn't want to get involved in these things, Director Chen, as a person within the system, of course understood Shen Xudong's concerns, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you change your name?" ”

"Name change?"
