The heroine's first audition took two days, followed by the hero's first audition.

There are a lot of students from the three major art academies, and many of them are also relatively good and famous actors in the future, and there are many to choose from, but in the end, you can only choose one.

The first trial of the hero and heroine ended quietly, but in fact, it still caused a lot of discussion outside, because it was also part of the publicity, and some advertisements were also made.

However, except for one Yang Zini, who is a little famous, the others are not very famous, so the effect is not very large.

What really makes most people pay attention to this draft activity is mainly because of Li Jingkun.

The list of re-exams was quickly determined, but it was not announced as soon as possible, but was prepared to take it out and "boil" it when the heat dropped slightly.

However, this has also led to another situation, that is, many people still want to "operate" again, and from time to time someone will still call him to knock on the side.

At the end of September, outstanding alumni, great director and national teacher brought the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" to the school to do activities.

"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" has been released for more than ten days, and the box office has exceeded 100 million, breaking the highest-grossing literary film in China in 10 years.

It can be said that the popularity has been quite high recently, and as an excellent work of alumni of Jingying School, the academy is of course very supportive.

The students also welcomed the arrival of the national teacher and the crew, and the auditorium was full that day, and there were many people standing in the corridor, and even many people sat on the stage.

"The first is self-confidence, in two actors, you will feel that these two faces, these two characters, their interpretation, their expression, can attract the audience."

Since it is a crew activity of the movie, of course they are touting each other. The director said that the actor was good, and the actor said that the director and crew were good, which are all necessary processes.

What is surprising is the performance of the heroine Zhou Dongyu, her personality at this time is indeed the same as in the play, she is still a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world.

The host asked her to talk about some things in the filming, and she said that she and Dou Xiao didn't perform well at first, "Because we are both first-time, we are not in a good situation." ”

The audience laughed, she was still at a loss, and she didn't know which of her words made everyone laugh.

As an outstanding student, Li Jingkun was arranged in the first row, and he was a little embarrassed at this time, how to say it, it can be seen that Zhou Dongyu is indeed very immature, and it is estimated that it was this naivety and immaturity that made the national teacher choose her.

It's just that the entertainment industry is a big dye vat, a complex circle that needs to be fought for, and it may be difficult to mix in the long run if you have been naïve and naïve all the time.

The reason why he is sitting here today is because the academy has also arranged a "task" for him, and in the last few minutes, he will also be invited to the stage to communicate with "Senior Brother Zhang".

Soon, the host controlled the time and introduced Li Jingkun to the stage.

"Next, I will introduce you to a student of our directing department, that is, one of your junior brothers, a student of the same grade as our actor Dou Xiao, classmate Li Jingkun."

This process was naturally communicated with the national teacher, in fact, it was arranged by the principal, and Li Jingkun chatted with the national teacher before the event started.

So he walked up naturally, and many people who knew him cheered and applauded him.

The host introduced to the national teacher: "A movie directed and released by Li Jingkun this year is also a youth film, called "Youth Pie", I don't know if our director knows about this movie? ”

Zhang Guoshi nodded: "I know, I've seen it, and it's a good shot." ”

The host said, "I don't know if Senior Brother Zhang has any words of encouragement to tell him?" “

Zhang Guoshi said: "It's rare to be able to make a feature film at this young age, and it can also be released in cinemas." In the end, he can get such a good result, which is already a lot better than most filmmakers.

When I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it. It took some professors from our school to confirm the matter. So I think it's pretty remarkable. ”

This is a high praise, so many students at the scene also gave applause and cheers, quite a sense of honor!

Zhang Guoshi then asked Li Jingkun: "Is it a junior this year?" ”

He said, "Yes." ”

The host said: "It's the same grade as Dou Xiao." ”

Dou Xiao is the protagonist of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and he is indeed in the same grade as Li Jingkun, but the two are of different departments.

Zhang Guoshi said: "The birth of a film is a combination of many factors, one is to be able to express the story and emotions in the way of video and audio, and the other is to coordinate all aspects of work. After all, the whole crew is so big and there are so many people. That's why I said that he has to make a movie at his age and release it, which is very rare. ”

The host said, "Yes, it's not easy to make a movie. What does Li Jingkun want to say to our senior brother? Have you watched the latest movie? ”

Li Jingkun said: "I've seen it, and the movie is very good." Both in terms of picture composition and scene scheduling, it is very powerful, but the most difficult part I think is the coordination of the actors and the control of the overall style, and I feel that the director is very handy. So when the whole story is presented, it seems natural. ”

The host nodded: "Very touching." ”

Li Jingkun said: "Yes, we will feel moved and innocent, just because the shooting is natural and good enough." ”

If sensationalism is not handled well, it can be embarrassing. "The Hawthorn Tree" is at least much better than the films of the same period.

There wasn't much time for Li Jingkun, and most of the time had to revolve around "Hawthorn Tree", so they couldn't talk much about each other on stage.

But at least it's a catch-up, and it's a bit of an acquaintance with the national teacher.

So after the event, there was a few more chats in the background.

"You talk about the regret of your first love at the age of 21?"

Zhang Guoshi held a copy of "Introduction to Architecture" given by Li Jingkun in his hand, and said this after listening to him tell the story introduction.

"Everyone has regrets, whether it's junior high school students or high school students, I think there are emotional things in common. There are many things that don't need to be explained so clearly, the meaning is expressed, and the audience will have their own feelings and thoughts. ”

Abbreviated as brain supplement.

Li Jingkun added in his heart. "Life experience, plus looking for experience from other people's books."

Zhang Guoshi nodded: "It's good, it's good to have the opportunity to try more." Your opportunities now are much better than we were at that time, both in terms of material conditions and educational environment, so you have to take advantage of them. ”

"But now the young version of the heroine has not been decided, I want to see what you suggest."

······

Zhang Guoshi is still very good at casting, especially the actresses, most of them are very suitable for the role, and the actresses are also very good, and they are basically popular.

Zhang Guoshi said: "My casting method is to screen layer by layer, two, three, and four rounds, so that they keep trying and performing some of the scenarios I give." My casting work is still quite hard, and many actors will call me a liar.

Another important point is that you must have a thorough understanding of what you want to film, what style you want, and what role you want to portray, so that you can know what kind of actor you want to look for. ”

also had a brief chat with the male and female protagonists, and the two of them can be said to be very lucky, the first work cooperated with a big director, and the starting point was suddenly very high.

Zhang Guoshi is a person from Jingying, but most of the main roles he cooperated with before were actors from Chinese opera, and Dou Xiao was the first to cooperate with the main role of Jingying, so this time he came more "justifiably" - the principal and other leaders have joked with Zhang Guoshi and complained many times.

So in this regard, Li Jingkun still has a high consciousness, and many of the main characters use "their own people".

"I think you're so smart!" Zhou Dongyu hugged the "Introduction to Architecture" sent by Li Jingkun on his chest and said to him a little adoringly.

"Why?" Li Jingkun smiled.

"Because I don't understand what you told our director just now."

“······”

Are you sure it's not because you're too stupid?

"Also, you're only two or three years older than me, aren't you? It's amazing that you're only going to be able to publish books and make movies at such a young age, and I've never seen anyone as powerful as you! ”

"Thank you, you are also very powerful, you can cooperate with the national teacher as soon as you debut."

"Hahaha, I'm just lucky, how can you be so powerful." Zhou Dongyu said, "I will also be admitted to your school in the future, can we work together if I have the opportunity at that time?" ”

········

The national teacher took the crew of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" to the Beijing Film Campus on the news channels of CCTV and Kyoto TV, and gave more than three minutes of time.

Of course, there is no picture of Li Jingkun.

But it doesn't matter, it's available on the Internet, and it's still reported by the mainstream media, with photos and transcripts.

Who called him a lot of fans?

Where there is demand, there is a market.

It's a pity that I didn't talk about "Introduction to Architecture" on stage that day, otherwise I would have helped promote it in advance.

can only say that Li Jingkun is still disciplined, if he is a little shameless, he can just take ten original books and distribute them when he comes to power, and he is not afraid that the topic will not lead to the upcoming movie.

"Tut, I can talk to the national teacher."

"But the time is very short, and I haven't talked a few words."

"It's normal, this is an activity of people's film promotion and exchange, and the national teacher and crew are the protagonists."

"That's okay, okay? On behalf of the new generation of talents in the school. ”

"I also think the time is very short, so I will go up and talk about what is blowing in these few sentences."

"It's very symbolic, isn't it? It feels like it was specially arranged by the leaders of Jingying, no matter how long it is, it's good to have a group photo and a picture. ”

"The national teacher is also from Beijing Film, plus Li Jingkun, a student in school, and the new director of Beijing Film, he can be regarded as the most influential figure of the younger generation of Beijing Film; All the factors add up to be attractive, okay? It will attract many art candidates to give priority to Jingying. There are many benefits for the school. ”

"Haha, didn't Zhou Dongyu say it? She wants to take the Jingying exam. ”

Not long after the National Day, the re-examination of the male and female roles began.

A few days ago, I asked Zhang Guoshi about casting, and I still gained something.

Acting is also important, of course, but the ability of the director is also important.

First of all, you have to understand what you want in order to guide the actor to give the result you want.

Often many mediocre or rookie actors can play well in the hands of many directors. Then the next time I go to another director, it won't work. This situation abounds.

Of course, Li Jingkun doesn't dare to say how powerful he is now, but with the golden finger, he is very sure of what he wants, so he will work hard to train the actors every time and try to make a better finished product.

So in the end, the heroine still decided Gu Xiaona, and the actor set Li County.

Gu Xiaona didn't talk about it for a long time, but the actor still chose the student of Jingying·······

However, the audition itself can be regarded as publicity, and the cost is not high, so it will be done.

Li County also entered Jingying this year, but he was not in the same class as Qin Junjie and Yang Zini.

After the main roles were confirmed, Li Jingkun also found a time to ask Qin Junjie and Yang Zini out for dinner, and also talked about casting.

Of course, Yang Zini was a little disappointed, but she didn't feel a loss to be able to get to know Li Jingkun, and she could continue to cooperate if she had the opportunity in the future.

·····

Long before the juvenile version of the hero and heroine was determined, most of the other supporting roles were also determined to be good actors.

Zhang Tianyu plays the rich and handsome senior who has a crush on the heroine, Li Jingkun plays the boyfriend of the male protagonist and so on.

Then there is the makeup photo, and after the shooting, the official bib announces a character every day.

The first day was the middle-aged version of the heroine Gao Meiyuan, who was in her early thirties and was so beautiful, and a few makeup photos attracted a large number of people to lick the screen.

Men and women in the entertainment industry are sometimes really scary, and many people in their forties and fifties look no different from those in their twenties and thirties.

For example, Brother Hua, who has been playing a person in his thirties in his fifties and sixties, is not inconsistent at all. Another example is Qin Lan, even if she is 43 years old in the future, she is as young and beautiful as playing a role in her twenties.

"This is the 'middle-aged version of the heroine'? Please remove the word middle-aged, okay? ”

"Don't bar, it's just to distinguish the identities of the two heroines."

"O goddess! It's really a good match for the character.,That's how my crush when I was young.。 ”

"Doesn't anyone think that Li Jingkun is growing up fast? So soon he will be able to make a movie with a big star, and he hasn't graduated from college yet! “

Although Gao Meiyuan is not a first-line actress now, she has been popular for more than ten years, and there are many people who know her; And it's really remarkable that a student in school can work with such an actor! ”

It was announced by Qin Hao the next day, and the reaction was not so enthusiastic, after all, he has few fans, and the works he has made over the years are all "literary", and his popularity is definitely not as high as that of beauties.

On the third day, it was the juvenile version of the heroine Gu Xiaona, a pure newcomer, no one knew her, but she was young and beautiful, very beautiful.

followed by Li Xian, Mao Xiaotong, Zhang Tianyu, and Li Jingkun......

After the account sharing of "Youth Pie" was recovered, the company raised two more cars because of work needs.

In addition to buying two more cars and some other equipment, the company also has some other small changes, such as hiring a deputy general manager back, and he will be responsible for some crew coordination and production. The deputy general manager's name is Sheng Yuan, and he is also a person with more than ten years of work experience in the circle.

Li Jingkun also recruited an assistant, an undergraduate student with more than two years of work experience, male, named He Xuekai.

At the same time, the planning department and the publicity department have also added one or two people - in fact, the company is very small at present, and only one movie a year is released, so there is no need to rush to continue to expand.

The preparatory work for "Introduction to Architecture" has been completed, and the production will start in mid-November. Due to the particularity of the film, this shooting will be divided into Group A and Group B, and the shooting time of each group is tentatively set at 46 days, that is, each group will shoot for 23 days.
