Chapter 51: Do You Want Me to Be the Heroine?
The two went to the school's Four Seasons Cafe and bought two drinks casually.
This is one of the attractions of Jingying, and many people usually gather here to fall in love, chat, and talk about scripts.
"What's wrong? It's rare to see when you're troubled, right? Zhao Tiantian said.
"It's not annoying, maybe it's been too long······ It should be the reason for the early days of the business, there is no one under the hands, and everything has to be done by yourself. Li Jingkun said.
"You started a business?"
"I plan to make a short drama and start a new chapter in my life, is it considered entrepreneurship?"
"Then you can hire someone."
"It's not that time yet," Li Jingkun said, "It's okay, maybe it was too comfortable before, and suddenly it was a little annoying to be busy." ”
“…… Are you comfortable? I think you've been quite busy before. Zhao Tiantian said, "You want to make a short drama?" What kind of skit are you filming? ”
"A campus short drama, a very simple story."
"Skits are hard to sell, right?"
"Who do you want to sell a short drama made by a freshman?"
Video websites have been around for a long time, and I have realized that I can invest in some online TV series or short films on my own, which is much less than buying TV series from others.
But it's still that sentence, who would dare to buy a freshman online drama for you? Who will buy it?
There is a high probability that it will lose money or it will not be cost-effective, right?
"Then you still want to shoot?" Zhao Tiantian said.
"Most of the first one or two works of the rookie director are not profitable. Just like you actors, many scenes are filmed, and some of them have no chance to be broadcast. Li Jingkun said.
Zhao Tiantian was quite curious about his works, so Li Jingkun probably told her that the script had been written, and the storyboard script was still being drawn, but none of the actors had been found.
Zhao Tiantian suddenly realized something and said, "You don't want me to be the heroine for you, do you?" ”
Li Jingkun said: "No, I can't afford to invite you, I plan to start filming during the summer vacation, the actors are not in a hurry, let's wait a while." ”
Zhao Tiantian nodded, if it was a few days, it would be fine, but Li Jingkun planned to shoot for half a month. She definitely didn't have that much time to help, after all, she also had a TV series to film.
In the following days, in addition to the normal classes, of course, the work of preparing for the skit was work.
Some people usually have no problems getting along, but once interests are involved, they expose their three views.
During military training, Li Jingkun shared the dormitory with Wang Yang, Guo Junli, and Fang Weida, so the relationship was a little better. The three views of the other two are relatively close to Li Jingkun, but what Fang Weida sometimes says is very strange.
usually goes out to eat, most of them are Li Jingkun's treats, and Fang Weida has never given money once.
However, when Li Jingkun was treated, he said a lot of compliments. said that he was quite good at making money in his freshman year, and it would be better if he didn't live outside the school, and he could take care of his brothers more if he usually lived in the school.
Under normal circumstances, Li Jingkun doesn't care, but now he wants to shoot his first short drama and give him a salary of 3,000 to help, but he hints that he is giving too little.
Maybe it's a little little, but he can only give so much at present, if he thinks it's less, then he can only have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future.
Unexpectedly, when he told Fang Weida that he didn't need his help for the time being, he changed his face, saying that a relative had introduced him to do a summer job, but in order to help Li Jingkun, he resigned, and now he said that he was not needed?
Speechless, it's at least a month before the summer vacation, and your relatives are now introducing you to jobs? Why don't I believe it?
Besides, there is still a month left before the summer vacation, so it is not difficult to tell your relatives again that you are going to go, or to find a summer job again, right?
Or, even if you find it, the salary is not as much as 3,000 yuan?
Li Jingkun didn't bother to pay attention to him, anyway, he made it clear to him.
"Which one will the school look for?"
"Our school is definitely not suitable, we want to shoot the life of high school students, and the high school classroom is still different from the university classroom."
Wang Yang, as the assistant director, and Guo Junli, as the cinematographer, both need to participate in the selection of venues, the discussion of scripts, the determination of visual style, and so on.
In fact, it is good to shoot a TV series or movie, the preliminary preparation work is very cumbersome and important, and sometimes the preparation time of a movie is longer than the shooting time.
However, if you prepare well in the early stage, the filming will go more smoothly later.
In fact, the classroom scene is easier to find, and when it is still summer vacation, there will be more choices. But you have to go around and take a few photos for archiving.
In June, the recruitment of actors began, and in addition to the role of the teacher, the other roles will be given priority to the students of the school.
So they put up notices on bulletin boards, recruiting male and female leads, supporting actors, and so on. For half a month, there is a salary.
This recruitment information still caused a bit of a sensation, after all, there are a lot of people needed, not only actors, but also other professional personnel. It doesn't look small.
However, Li Jingkun and they also have to hold an audition for actors, if the degree of professionalism is not up to it, they would rather go to those who are famous, more expensive, but have better acting skills.
Sometimes spending a little more will save you more money later.
They scheduled auditions on Saturdays and Sundays, with Li Jingkun and Wang Yang as the auditioners, and Guo Junli and two or three other classmates (who had previously worked together on short films) to help with the interviewers and other preparations.
On the day of the audition, there was still a problem, that is, the attitude of the auditioner.
Li Jingkun guessed that their crew was looked down upon, thinking that it was a student organization, just deal with it?
When recruiting before, it was very clear that you should bring your own resume, but many people didn't bring it; Secondly, the answers to questions during the audition are also a bit casual, and some of them don't seem to care whether they will be selected.
Therefore, one or two more questions were added to the end, that is, "why did you come to this audition", "If you pass the audition, what do you expect from this performance", etc.
To be honest, the requirements for actors in this short drama are not high, and the acting skills do not need to be very good, but if the attitude is not correct, there is a great chance that it will be filmed in the end.
People from the acting department also came, which is also what Li Jingkun was looking forward to, after all, the major is the right one, and he has also been admitted after a fierce school examination before. Most of the shapes are character-fitting. However, there are only so many leading actors, and you can only choose the best one.
"Please introduce yourself first."
"What do you think you have in the best of the best?"
"Please read these lines."
"If you didn't choose the heroine, would you consider having other supporting actress roles? Because it is a short drama, there may not be many supporting roles. ”
Li Jingkun's attitude must be very serious, after all, it is his own work, and he must strictly follow the formal procedures.
The same is true for Wang Yang and Guo Junli, if the work is shot well, his resume will look much better in the future. So for Li Jingkun to formalize it, they completely agree.
"My name is Lu Xinting, from the 08 performance department."
"I came here because of the recommendation of Teacher Yang Lin, who said that my acting skills and image are good, but suggested that I hone and hone more. Teacher Yang Lin, do you know each other? ”
