In fact, most film festivals start around April or May, which means that there are still five or six months to prepare for him, which seems to be more than enough, but in fact, it is not very rich.

Because if you want to shoot in Kyoto, you have to consider that there are snow days in winter, and his films don't need to have pictures of wind and snow.

So we have to start the preparations right away.

"Don't you need the support of the school studio this time?" Su Zhijun said.

"Not the first time, and even more so now. I'm going to have to build my own team slowly, right? Li Jingkun said.

The company has opened, and if the crew has the right talent this time, they will also be invited to join the company, so that they will have their own team in the future, and it will be more convenient and faster to make films.

And not long after filming "Vacant Days", it is actually easier and more convenient to arrange "Youth Pie", because most of the shots are similar, that is, most of them take place in schools and classrooms. Even the latter has fewer exterior locations.

Therefore, the staff who have worked with them before can be called back as long as they are willing to come.

However, in the end, it is a regular feature film, and the staff will estimate it more by then.

Because it is a movie, the content of the scene has to be richer, and the overall requirements have been improved, so the production cost will be relatively high. In addition, there are more main characters, so although the scenes are similar, the production cost must be much higher.

However, no matter how high it is, it can't compare to those blockbusters, and it is estimated that the cost will be more than two million at most, so it is still a low-cost work.

"Just a starring role? Who are you looking for? Wang Yang said.

"Newcomer, huh? He was a high school student who was seventeen or eighteen years old. ”

There is indeed only one protagonist in "Youth Pie", that is, the male protagonist in it.

But there is another woman who thinks it is very important, that is, the teacher of the male protagonist, and the role is also very heavy.

And the girl that the actor likes can be said to be a tool man, a symbol, and has fewer scenes.

But it is also a very important role, after all, throughout the whole text, many changes in the male protagonist have her influence in it.

In fact, there is no need to repeat the other work arrangements, because it is almost the same as the filming of "Vacant Days", and even the filming location can be the same. As long as the angle is changed, or the background is different, no one can tell that it is the same venue.

In the previous life, it was rumored that the director of "Youth Pie" went undercover in several high schools for more than a year, just to get close to the real life conditions of current high school students; But Li Jingkun has just come from there, and he has a complete understanding of the finished film, of course, he doesn't need to go undercover or anything again.

And he doesn't plan to go to various colleges and universities to find actors, that would be too much of a waste of time.

In fact, the current freshman and sophomore art school students are enough to be competent. They should look about the same age, and don't play some "boys" in their thirties and forties.

However, after taking a look at this year's new actors, I don't feel very satisfied.

Sun Hao and Zhang Tiancheng don't want to look for it for the time being, because "Vacant Days" has just been on the air, and they are afraid that his fans will make a play after watching it.

Cai Wenwen can participate in the role of the supporting actress, that is, the girl that the actor likes. It's just that the role is not so likable, and she will be disliked, and there are few scenes, so maybe she will be more hesitant.

It's okay, this role is not difficult to handle.

"Hey, he's supposed to be in his third year of high school this year, right?"

In fact, the actor Dong Dongdong in the previous life had good acting skills, and he also fit the role very well, but he is a little young now - if it is a character in his twenties, the difference of two or three years is nothing, but the difference between 15 and 18 years old is still quite big.

Therefore, I randomly searched on the Internet for actors who meet the age of the role, such as an actor born in 91, or an actor born in 90, etc., in fact, there are very few famous people at this age, and even fewer who match the role.

Because it can't be too handsome, the audience who is too handsome has no sense of substitution, and feels that this is not the life of ordinary high school students; And such a handsome boy can't catch up with a girl after so much hard pursuit, and everyone will think it's too fake.

It can't be too red—if it's too red, you can't afford it, and you can't invite it.

In the end, I saw a very suitable candidate, and he is also a famous child star, who is now the right age and has very good acting skills.

Child star, good acting skills, these two points are too difficult.

Some people say that the environment is different, and the living environment of people since childhood is that they often have to perform on stage, and there are few opportunities for domestic children.

Maybe it's right, so it's still surprising that one or two child stars with good acting skills can grow in China.

Qin Junjie's performance in "Hometown Children" is so exciting, natural, real, and natural, making people believe that there is a person named "Liu Xing" in the real world.

The age is suitable, the acting skills are good, and he is not a handsome guy. Although the previous role was impressive, many years have passed, and in the real world he is a high school student, so he is a very suitable candidate.

"Qin Junjie? Would he like to come? Wang Yang said.

"Let's get in touch and take a look, anyway, we're a little famous now, and the script is well written."

Li Jingkun imagined it in his mind, and replaced the actor's face with Qin Junjie's face, which felt very suitable. So he asked Wang Yang to find his contact information and send him an invitation.

Then there is the role of a female teacher, and you don't have to think about anything else, just find the actor Qin Hailu in the previous life.

"This ····· Bigger cards, right? And the acting skills are still so good, can you look up to our crew? Wang Yang said.

Qin Hailu was admitted to the opera school in 1990 and began to study Peking Opera, focusing on Dao Ma Dan.

In 1996, he was admitted to the Performance Department of Huayang Drama Academy to study stage plays.

In 2000, she was nominated for Best Actress at the International Film Festival with the movie "Durian Piao", and won the Wanwan Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer and Best Actress, the Best Actress at the Xiangjiang Film Purple Flower Award and the Best Newcomer Award at the Xiangjiang Golden Elephant Award.

In short, this is a recognized powerful actress in the industry; is also one of the most famous actresses in the 96th session of Chinese opera!

And now Li Jingkun wants to invite him to participate in his own film?

Just the work of a school student?

"It's okay, we sent ours, it's up to her to come or not." Li Jingkun said.

After all, it is indeed a small crew, and it is still a work prepared by school students, and they are acting schools, so they must be worried that others will smash their signboards.

However, of course, they also have advantages, one is that the script is good and the degree of completion is high; second, there is a short drama as the foundation, and it was also sold to Kuku.com, which will not be regarded as a grass stage team; The third is that in recent years, Qin Hailu's film appointments seem to be too few.
