Chapter 127: Screening Little Actresses

chatting with Liu Tianxian at close range again, Li Jingkun seemed to be in a much calmer mood. So this time the observation of her is also more detailed, probably because today is a short hair style, and the eyebrows and eyeliner are also drawn sharply.

So you want to look a little more handsome tonight?

"I see that you have sent a lot of albums out, can you send me one too?" Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

It turned out to be this incident, and Li Jingkun was a little surprised. But it's not just the fact that she asked for the album itself, but her deliberate move to get closer?

After all, if you really like this album, you can just buy one.

"I don't have the album in my hand now, just now I asked my assistant to go back first - you give me your mobile phone number, and I'll send you one; I will send another Chinese album later, and I will send you a few copies when the time comes. He didn't lie, He Xuekai did go back.

"Okay." Liu Tianxian didn't say anything, so he naturally reported the number to him.

"Then get in touch again." Li Jingkun made a phone call and asked her to save her number over there; Later, when I got back to the car, he would send her another text message and ask her to report her address or something.

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye." The next day, Li Jingkun posted a poster about "Eucalyptus in Chinatown" and Huang Baoqiang around his neck, announcing that he was one of the leading actors of the movie; At the same time, it is equivalent to telling everyone that there is no problem with investment, and the movie is being prepared normally.

Then I finally made an appointment with Huang Bo to meet, because he was busy making movies before, and it should have been just after "The 101st Marriage Proposal" was completed.

Huang Bo is indeed a little hesitant, because he has borrowed too many supporting roles recently. One is "Journey to the West", although he plays the role of Sun Wukong, but the male one is to the south, and he is just a supporting role; One is "Thai Embarrassment", the first male is Xu Guangtou and Huang Baoqiang; One is "The Cook's Drama and the Ruffian", he is the leading actor, but there are three male protagonists in this movie.

Now there is still a "Chinatown Adventure"? Does he have to play for others all the time?

"I really like the movie, but I still have a movie to start filming at the end of August, and the timing may be a bit conflicting." Huang Bo is talking about "The Cook's Drama and the Ruffian".

"It's a bit tight, but "Exploration of Chinatown" started shooting in early July, and our plan is to shoot for 52 days, so we should be able to adjust it."

"Yes, but generally I don't want to fight unprepared battles, so I have to have time to prepare in advance." This makes some sense, he filmed "Thai Embarrassment" in May and June, and then "Chinatown" and "The Chef" from July to September, which is basically seamless.

There may be actors who don't care about rolling dramas, but Huang Bo is obviously not such a person, he respects his profession and wants to play every role well, so he must be prepared in the early stage.

"Otherwise, I'll go back and think about it, can I get back to you within a week?"

"Yes, no problem, don't worry, it won't be started until July." After finishing the business, the two didn't separate immediately, and chatted about others, such as Huang Baoqiang, such as Jingying's affairs and so on.

After saying goodbye, Li Jingkun also had a bottom in his heart, and it is estimated that Huang Bo will most likely not play this role. One is because the roles assigned to him in "Chinatown" are not heavy, and even less than those given to Xiao Yang; The other is that the character is a bit overlapping and repeating it with him in "Thai Embarrassment".

Of course, there is another reason, that is, he does have a lot of film appointments this year, and I feel that playing such a supporting role again will not have a big impact on his career.

However, since Huang Bo said that he should think about it for one more week, whether it is an excuse or really to think about it, then wait another week before considering the next personal choice.

So then he started to play the role of a little girl. Zhang Zifeng was very suitable in the original world, but now she is too young.

There are a few who are of the right age, and the actor information is in hand. One of them was recommended by the highlight, that is, Guan Xiaotong in 97.

Two or more people have greeted him, and if they say the right thing, they will take care of it. In fact, Guan Xiaotong's age and appearance are suitable, but his stature is a little taller.

The age of 15 years old is written with a height of 167, and looking at her photo, Li Jingkun still suspects that she is also writing shorter.

She's over 170, so I can only say sorry to them. In the end, it seems that only Song Zufan is suitable.

Song Zufan was born in 1998, debuted in 2005, and then appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in 2007, participated in works such as "Baolian Lantern", and is 14 years old this year.

The height and appearance are good, and they match the character. So for the time being, I decided on her. ······ The main filming location of "Suddenly This Summer" is also in Qindao.

Li Jingkun likes this place very much, and he has been here many times. I will probably come back in the future, the scenery and weather are good, very suitable for framing.

Before the start-up, the main creators have come to investigate several times, and several main locations have already been decided.

The director team, camera team, recording team, drama team, props team, etc. also arrived at the filming location one after another, did the preliminary work, and waited for the crew to start shooting.

However, the press conference before the start of the machine was also held as usual, and the process that should be taken has to be taken, and there will be no less publicity.

The questions from reporters occasionally go off-topic, some ask about the release of "Hummingbird", and some ask about "Chinatown Detective".

"The post-production of "Hummingbird" has been completed, and the release date is still being discussed." In fact, we are waiting for the film festival to determine the date.

"At present, most of the actors of "Chinatown Detective" have been confirmed, and the audition for the young actor will be held after the completion of "Suddenly This Summer". Huang Bo has officially rejected the role, and Longqi Film and Television has sent an invitation to Cheng He.

"Suddenly this summer" is planned to be filmed for 62 days, and the time is relatively tight. I hope it will be done smoothly. "Li Jingkun usually finishes a lot of things in advance, trying to shorten the shooting time.

Because the most expensive expenses are incurred during the shooting. Most of his shots are determined, and he works strictly according to the pre-drawn storyboard script, rarely making changes, and not having too many unplanned shots, so he can still save a lot of time.

"It's not the first time I've filmed a TV series, I've also filmed "Vacant Days" before, and I sold it too; Now it's just that there are more episodes and the crew is bigger, haha. Although most of the media prefer to ask Li Jingkun questions, several actors also answered one or two questions.

Zhu Yinlong said: "Yes, it is the first time to work with the director, but I have seen all his works and I like it very much." I didn't expect to have the opportunity to cooperate so soon. "Zhu Yinlong is the third actor signed by Longqi Film and Television, and he still has a contract with a TV show before, but the liquidated damages are not much.

Mao Xiaotong said: "Yes, this is the second time I have worked with Director Li, and I am looking forward to it." I love both the character and the script, and I hope we can all finish filming it smoothly and present the finished product to everyone as soon as possible. ...... "Suddenly This Summer" tells the story of the pure love of the heroine He Luo and the male protagonist Zhang Yuan spanning ten years of youth, the first half of the story basically takes place on campus, and the second half will be separated into two cities, and finally to two countries.

However, love makes them each go through thousands of mountains and rivers, the vicissitudes of the world, and eventually they have to come together. Therefore, in the first half, the campus is the most important point in this drama.

In the early stage, a lot of scenes were filmed in the classrooms or on campus.

"Hi, classmate." Mao Xiaotong, who was wearing a blue and white school uniform, caught up with Zhu Yinlong,

"Was I counting the bread loud just now? Can you hear it with headphones? ”

"I didn't listen to the songs, I wore headphones to sleep more peacefully." Zhu Yinlong said.

"Huh?"

"You lost three times, you counted one when I was thirteen, you were still counting one when I counted twenty-five, and when I counted twenty-nine, you didn't count." Zhu Yinlong said,

"Classmate, you are affecting my sleep quality very much."

"No, you don't sleep well. If you bother me, I'll go to the blackboard to do the questions. ”

"How do I know that such a pediatric question can stump you?"

"Cards!" This section was filmed intermittently in several sections, and both of them had some problems to adjust. However, in this place, Zhu Yinlong's role has more places to show.

The characters in the early stage have to stand up first in order to make the audience interested in the characters and the plot. The male protagonist is a person who seems to be proud and arrogant, but is actually very smart; He is a scholar, and he may be hesitant and immature in terms of feelings, but he has always been relatively stable in terms of learning and doing things.

In the previous plot, it is necessary to show the charm of the characters, so that the audience can understand why the heroine likes him; At the same time, the audience also liked the character at this time.

"The character is really confident and smart, you understand it right, but you don't have to be too deliberate, one is that the protagonist himself doesn't think he is smart, and the other is that we have designed it very well in language, and here we just rely on the lines to show his character characteristics. His self-confidence is restrained, and his eyes, the corners of his mouth, and his micro-expressions can all be reflected; But you can't get by, it's natural, it's a natural state - just now your eyes closed too quickly, and it turned into a little disdainful. Can you understand? Zhu Yinlong nodded silently, and began to recall the character's story direction and those lines, and at the same time combined with the director's explanation, continue to understand his character.

The plots and characters of many youth movies are simple, and there is no need to study and figure out the characters excessively, such as the previous "Introduction to Architecture" and "Positive Physique" and so on.

But "Suddenly This Summer" is a TV series with dozens of episodes, and there are still many changes in personality and emotion.

So you can't be too flat to show him - this is not an idol drama. After a short break, rearrange the scene and continue filming.

"You, you really don't remember me at all?" Mao Xiaotong frowned and pointed at himself with his finger.

Zhu Yinlong felt a little inexplicable, and didn't know what this classmate was going to do, so he didn't want to pay attention to her, and wanted to continue to leave when he raised his feet.

At this time, for him, the heroine He Luo is no different from other ordinary students, just a classmate who is not familiar with her.

Mao Xiaotong didn't want to give up, she continued to chase after her: "There was a time on the bus, 115, you ·······" Zhu Yinlong stopped, looked at her seriously for a while, and then chuckled a little suddenly.

Mao Xiaotong couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw his expression: "Remembered? Zhu Yinlong said: "Classmates, in the future, be clever in public, bad guys are everywhere." Mao Xiaotong smiled a little embarrassedly, seeing: "This, didn't I meet you?" ”

"Count your fortune." After saying this, he continued to leave.

"Ai, Ai, you ······" Mao Xiaotong felt a little sudden, isn't this a good conversation?

Why didn't you say a few words and leave again?

"You don't still think about some old stalk of heroes saving beauty and breaking through love together, right?" Zhu Yinlong turned around and took a few steps towards her,

"If you have time to think about these things and what you don't have, it's better to do a few more questions. The girl is hung on the blackboard, it really doesn't look good! He smiled at her, took a step back, and then turned and walked away; The whole person looks confident and free.

Mao Xiaotong was a little stunned and stood in place a little angrily, this time he didn't dare to continue to catch up facelessly.

What a god! Isn't it just a little smarter than me, a little better than me? Do you need to be so high-minded?

"Cards! Yes, that's over. Li Jingkun finally shouted with satisfaction, and then said: "Very good, Yin Long, that's how it feels!" Pretty good. "Zhu Yinlong did perform well this time, maybe it was because he had filmed too many costume dramas at the beginning, so he changed to modern dramas for a while, and there were many things that needed to be adjusted.

But on the whole, he is an actor with very good quality and attitude, so it will not be too difficult to adjust.

He chooses actors, one is to fit the character, and the other is to be strong. Coupled with the advantage of foresight, you can also choose some actors who are more cost-effective and have better professional ethics.

Zhu Yinlong obviously belongs to this kind of actor, at least in the next few years known to Li Jingkun, his reputation and acting skills are okay, so it will not be too difficult for him to play this role.

Next, it depends on whether Mao Xiaotong can enter the role as soon as possible. The back is the part where Cai Wenwen came to talk to Mao Xiaotong.

There is nothing to show here, a few simple sentences back and forth, filmed twice, and then replaced with a chamber scene.

In the computer room, Sun Hao and Ning Tao normally instigated Zhu Yinlong to help them get the test questions, and Mao Xiaotong came in with a large cardboard box.

"I was able to get into the third middle school because of my dad's sponsorship. It's no secret anymore, what's it to buy a laptop? My dad said that if I could get 80 points this time, my dad would give me a limited edition motorcycle. "Ning Tao is also an art school student, but he is a student of Chinese opera.

"Your dad must know that you can't score 80 points in the test, so I'll just talk about teasing you." Mao Xiaotong said with a smile.

"Then I should get 80 points in the exam and fight for honor!" Ning Tao said. ······ The first day of filming was successfully completed, because it was the first day, and there were not too many big scenes arranged.

So the shooting ended at six o'clock, and then they packed up their things and disbanded. The lunch box also arrived at this time, and most of the people took it back to the hotel to eat.

There was no word for the night, and the next day work started as usual. Most of the staff also worked until six or seven o'clock that day, but Ning Tao and Cai Wenwen had one more night scene, and they filmed three times.

On the fifth day, Mao Xiaotong's one

The scene of "being wronged for cheating" has been said several times, and after being said a few times, his face is gloomy, but it is in line with the character's state of mind, and he no longer looks exaggerated, so he has passed.

"Don't just talk too loudly to get angry, it's too superficial. Do you think about being wronged? When the mood changes, there should also be a sense of hierarchy and not be too blunt.

"Got it." In fact, Mao Xiaotong didn't pull her hips too much, but compared to Zhu Yinlong, her progress was indeed slower, and she was more ng later, so it seemed that she was a level worse in comparison.

But in fact, she has always been very serious and hard-working, and she basically goes back to the hotel to rest and study after finishing work for a while, and rarely goes out with the crew to hang out or eat supper or something.

She looks like a soft girl on the surface, but she actually has a very tough personality; belongs to the character of the outer softness and the inner rigidity, which is quite similar to the heroine.

"Would you like to go out for a late-night snack?"

"No, I've already eaten something to pad my stomach." After work that day, it was already 10 o'clock when I went back to the hotel to take a shower, but Li Jingkun still sent a message to Mao Xiaotong.

Mao Xiaotong rarely goes out these days, and he is basically the same. Because a lot of times, it's quite late to finish work.

Usually he starts to rest after taking a shower, most of the time he is playing with his mobile phone, and he cuts some clips a little rougher when he is diligent.

In fact, he rarely goes out for supper, but he just thought of today's events and wanted to talk to her, but he didn't expect to be rejected by her.

"I've been talked a little too much today, so I'm not angry, are you?" Mao Xiaotong first replied with an angry expression, and then said: "No, how can it be, you are the director, this is our job." "It's true that Li Jingkun is a director, and he usually doesn't go out of his way to explain anything to actors, but Mao Xiaotong always has a good relationship with him, so I still want to talk to her.

And there is still a long time in the future, and there may be this kind of thing in the future, so it is better to solve it in advance.

"So after filming today, my face still stinks because I haven't made a drama yet?"

“…… Isn't it true that boys can't see other people's faces? ”

"I'm a director, I can't pay attention to the actors' expressions?"

"You don't have to worry about this, it's definitely a little emotional at the moment, but I know it's work, and I'm just not doing a good job to be criticized." Well, now Li Jingkun can be sure that Mao Xiaotong is really not angry; In fact, it is quite pleasant to work with her, she is a very well-behaved actor, and her personality is relatively simple; I'm willing to listen to the professionals, and I will really carry it out.

It is necessary to grind with her in order to improve.

"Then you can't be angry when you read it in public later?"

"No, you can come, it's all for work."

"Yes, it's all about making a good TV series, let's work together and shoot it as your masterpiece!"

"Okay, director, I'm fine." After this day, Mao Xiaotong did not reply to the director's message for three consecutive days.

However, it worked normally during the day, and the shooting plan went much smoother, even if there were delayed scenes, they could be quickly made up the next day.

Of course, Zhu Yinlong is not without problems all at once, everyone is in a bad state, and no one can never make mistakes.

Fortunately, they are all people who can see the problem, and it is also a problem that can be said that this kind of problem is easier to solve.

In fact, the protagonist's roles are heavier, and the overall is still harder than other actors, and when he goes back to the hotel at night, he is not the master who can rest immediately, and he must also have to preview or memorize lines or something.

Of course, the main actor generally earns more·····

"Director, congratulations, "Introduction to Architecture" has received 4 nominations, it should be able to win the award, right?"

"Hopefully." "Introduction to Architecture" received 4 nominations at the Kyoto University Student Film Festival

"Best Picture",

"Best Screenplay" and

"The most popular actor and actress". Many people in the crew also saw this information, after all, many people were also staff members of the previous crew, and some were employees of Longqi Film and Television themselves.

"Then the director should go to the awards ceremony later, right?"

"So recently, everyone has worked hard, and after filming as planned, the whole crew can take a day or two off at that time." The film festival is definitely going to be attended, and this one itself has time reserved for it; And it's hard to know that there are also arrangements in May, so the filming progress here really can't afford to delay.

However, compared to the fact that the movie is only a nomination, the song sales are already a real achievement. "Very Convergent" has been sold for less than a month, and currently sells more than 60,000 copies, which is a good result in today's market.

But what is shocking is the sales of English singles, "Fire" sold more than 70,000 copies, and "SomethingJust Like This" officially exceeded 100,000 copies!

The Asian singer, the English single can exceed 100,000 copies in less than a month, which shows that this song is really popular.

"Got the fifth highest in the British Song Chart, and the highest eleventh in the United States, I can only say that Li Jingkun is really good!"

"Some professional netizens have analyzed that if Li Jingkun is not from Asia, it would not be a big problem to get 500,000 sales of this single in the end......"

"The style and melody are really good, and the single has been looping lately."

"Two songs in style! I don't think anything when I don't listen to it, as soon as these two songs are played, you will feel that these words about Li Jingkun on the Internet are not too much! ”

"I rarely buy genuine albums, but this time I really paid for it, because the quality is really good, and I like it too. Of course, the main thing is that I can still consume ...... at this price" When it comes to the status of an Asian singer affecting the sales of singles, this is simply certain.

The problems that can be seen by domestic netizens are better understood by the professionals on Omi's side. And in addition to this, Kane Lee, the singer himself, has not participated in commercial promotion and other activities, if according to the normal publicity process of Omega singers, let an Omega singer release these two singles, and it is not impossible for each single to get 500,000 sales.

Therefore, someone soon contacted Shenghuaxin's company in the United States, and then contacted Shenghuaxin's company in China, and Shenghuaxin's side contacted He Xuekai's side.

The other party said that he could give a very suitable price, and then let him help write a song, and they would sing it for the first- and second-tier singers in the United States, which would make Kane Lee's name more famous.

Of course, songwriting is divided into the same giving.

"I haven't had time lately, I'm filming." Li Jingkun's response was very simple, he was not available for the time being; And the other party's original words were to give a very suitable price, and I didn't feel much sincerity, and even a little contemptible.

So it's definitely impossible to deal with them now.

"If I have that time, I can just publish it myself, and will the money I make be worthy of the word 'very suitable'? And I don't care if I can be more famous, I care more about how much money I can make. Li Jingkun just asked Sheng Huaxin to reply like this, you have to be more arrogant than them in the face of the arrogant and prejudiced Omi people, because they also care more about gains than face.

They also talked about the Chinese album "22", and he also felt that there was no need to delay it any longer, and it just so happened that "Very Convergent" had also been sold for a while, so he began to re-promote the album, planning to release it in more than a month.

"Then it will be released on May 15th, when will the first song be released, when will the second song be released, you can get a publicity plan for me." The graphic design of "22", the poster promotion was done a long time ago, but the MV only completed three songs, plus most of the MV of the second title song came from the movie "Youth Pie", it can be said that the MV of four songs has been completed, so it will not seem too hasty to decide to launch it in a month now.
