······ In Kyoto, Zhang Yu was woken up by the ringing of the phone, which made him a little irritable, but after a pause, he still honestly touched the phone: "Hey, hello, which one?" ”

"Hello, I'm Li Jingkun, may I ask Mr. Zhang Yu?"

"I am, excuse me······ Are you Li Jingkun? Zhang Yu suddenly became agitated and sobered up a lot.

"Yes, I'm Li Jingkun, there's a character here who wants you to come and try it, are you interested here?"

"Role?" Zhang Yu was a little confused, he started to be an actor in 05, but he has been acting in dramas for five or six years, and now he is only a small role.

And Li Jingkun has become famous in recent years, not only filmed

The "Youth Trilogy" was a great success, and "Eucalyptus Chinatown" broke 1 billion at the box office. And how could such a big man suddenly look for him, an unknown junior?

And you called in person?

"You're not kidding, are you? I don't have any money, so don't try to cheat me out of money. "Since the popularization of mobile phones, telecom fraud has been repeatedly banned, and even in the next ten years, it has not been able to completely solve the problem.

Zhang Yu has also heard a lot of such news recently, so he is very vigilant.

"Do you know where Longqi Film and Television is? If you are free tomorrow, you can come directly to the company to find me. The chuckle on the other side made Zhang Yu a little embarrassed, but since the other party answered like this, it seems to be true?

Of course he knows where Longqi Film and Television is, Haiding District. He has been in Kyoto for many years, as long as there is an address for him, he is afraid that he will not find a land?

Besides, even if you don't know where it is, Longqi Film and Television is famous, and you can just let the taxi driver drive you over.

"Well, okay, I'm free, I'm free tomorrow, what time is it better to go?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, three or four o'clock, I've been at the company relatively early lately."

"Okay, no problem, I'll be on time!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu was still excited! Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly contacted him, he felt that his opportunity should come!

Then, he wondered if he had paranoia just now, so he quickly took out the call log and looked at it again.

Well, there is indeed a call log······ By the way, you'll have to save the notes! After a meal, it was only ten o'clock in the morning, so he wanted to continue to sleep for a while, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning······ finally stayed up until more than four o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yu felt that he had to at least find someone to talk to, so he called a friend of his, said that he wanted to invite him to dinner, and asked him if he was free.

"Eat? Do you please? No kidding, right? ”

"No kidding, buddy is happy today, just please!" Zhang Yu said.

"Okay then, where to go?"

"Go to your side, I'll go over now."

"Okay, then you can do it." Zhang Yu began to dress up, but after wiping his hair, he felt that something was wrong, he had to see a big man tomorrow, and he had to shave his beard······ After shaving, I felt that my hair was a little long, and I wondered if I should get a new haircut?

But I gave up after thinking about this for a while, because being an actor is different from going to interview for other jobs, and your hair can't be cut casually, maybe the characters in it will have this hairstyle, and if you cut it suddenly, the role may be gone······ So just dress up clean and refreshed tomorrow!

In this way, after forty or fifty minutes, he staggered downstairs and went to his friend's.

His friend is an advertising director, named Lu Huizhou, who is quite famous in the industry, and he is also the CEO of an advertising company, so his identity and place naturally cannot be the same as him.

However, the relationship between the two is not bad, and it is still a cooperative relationship. In 2010, Lu Huizhou wanted to make a movie called "The Right Hand Becomes a Gun".

then met Zhang Yu, and felt that Zhang Yu's image and acting skills were good, and he was very suitable to star in his own works, so the two met like this.

But because the advertising business is busy, he has been delaying the creation and production of the film. Therefore, the film was filmed intermittently and never finished.

When it was 11 years old, Kuku.com wanted to engage in an online movie project, and invited many people to participate across borders.

For example, Zhang Yadong, Luo Fat, Happy Twist Vine, etc., Lu Huizhou also received invitations. He thought to himself, anyway, "The Right Hand Becomes a Gun" has not had much inspiration recently, so let's earn this easy money first!

So he re-made a script, and also gave Zhang Yu a role. Now two or three years have passed, and Kuku.com's micro-movie "How Long Is the Love of 59 Centimeters of Happiness" has been broadcast for a long time, and "The Right Hand Becomes a Gun" has not yet been filmed······

"When will we continue to make that movie?" In the food stall, Zhang Yu and Lu Huizhou were sitting and drinking.

"Don't be in a hurry, I haven't had any inspiration lately!"

“······” Zhang Yu was a little speechless, he didn't know how many times he heard this. But after all, he promised to star in and finish filming, and now the director says that he is not inspired and the time has not come, what can he do?

I can only continue to wait!

"Then you have to hurry, I may be developed soon."

"Hahaha. Yes, no problem. Lu Huizhou sandwiched a slice of lean meat, and then poured himself a small glass of wine.

Zhang Yu is a little tight, the topic has been brought here, you don't care or praise it?

"Don't you ask me how I want to be developed?" Lu Huizhou had no choice but to stop and glance at him: "Why are you so developed?" Zhang Yu said: "Li Jingkun asked me to make a movie." Lu Huizhou looked at him seriously, and he was still seeing the end from the beginning.

"What do you mean? Look down on people? Lu Huizhou said: "It's not that you look down on people, your strength is still okay - I'm just thinking, Director Li won't be looking for you to make youth films, right?" Then I wonder what role you are suitable for playing in a school movie - a gangster? ”

"Get out!" Zhang Yu was speechless, but he had indeed been thinking about this question all day, and he was so bored that he wanted to talk to someone, and he couldn't wait to tell him about it.

Of course, he also guessed youth films, after all, Li Jingkun was also filmed

started with the "Youth Trilogy", but he felt that he couldn't make a youth film with his appearance······ I didn't expect to be said by Lu Huizhou - it seems that he can indeed play a gangster in youth films!

Lu Huizhou said: "Just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously - but Li Jingkun is really looking for you?" You're not mistaken, right? Zhang Yu put down his fast, took out his mobile phone, and then let him look at his call history.

"Li Jingkun! Do you see it? Hit it in the morning! ”

“······” Lu Huizhou was speechless: "Are you stupid for me or for yourself?" Didn't you note the name yourself? ”

“······” Zhang Yu said: "Anyway, it's Director Li's phone, if it's fake-I'm going to report on Longqi Film and Television tomorrow!" Lu Huizhou said: "Okay, if you think about it, you have nothing to deceive, then I wish you a bright future here!" Zhang Yu clinked glasses with him: "The future is bright!" After the two put down their wine glasses, Lu Huizhou said, "But didn't he say what role he asked you to play?" Zhang Yu said: "No, I haven't woken up yet, and I'm confused." ”

“····· So you didn't ask either? What if it's really just a small role? ”

“····· I didn't ask, I didn't think about it so much, and I was still wondering if it was a scam call. But it can't be a small role, right? Director Li personally called! ”

"Maybe you're a good fit for some character? For example, Xiao Shenyang in "Exploration of Chinatown"? Of course, Zhang Yu has also seen "Chinatown Exploration", and he has also thought about it today, it seems that there is indeed a great possibility, and comedies need the kind of ······ that is not handsome, but has some characteristics Lu Huizhou said: "But even if it's just a small role, if it's a blockbuster like "Chinatown", it can be a small hit!" Zhang Yu nodded, and had a feeling of gain and loss, and finally said, "Otherwise, you should treat you today." ”

“······”······ On the day when the script of "Night and Day" was read, Li Jingkun asked Wang Yang to be the photographer and continue to shoot materials.

The location of their filming at this time was outside the company's conference room, and he planned to record some intros outside the conference room before he started reading, so as to introduce the meaning and significance of the script reading.

And after all, he is the boss, and he is still at work, so although there are some people coming and going behind him, everyone is just smiling and looking at this side at most, and no one is loud or disturbed.

Li Jingkun said to the camera: "Today is going to start reading the script, and the meeting will be held in the conference room behind me, and you can see that many people have already gone in to prepare." Ever since I made my first film, I've been organising script readings; And now, it has basically become a 'tradition', and if you want to make my film, this process is essential! Because I found that the script reading is really important, and it is also very beneficial to the filming and production of the film. If the script is read well, there will be a lot of effort and resources left when it comes time to shoot. So what is a script reading? To put it simply, everyone reads the script together. Expanding a little further, it is to bring together the director, screenwriter, actors, camera crew, recording crew, production crew and other main creative personnel, so that the actors can enter the mood of the performance and read the script from beginning to end. So what are the benefits of reading around the script? First, in the process of reading, the actor will have a further understanding of the characters and events. Second, if the actors have something they don't understand, they can ask it, and the screenwriter and director can answer it. In this process, in addition to actors, in fact, there are also great benefits to directors, screenwriters and other main creators, and there is often a further understanding. Third, check and fill in the gaps. This is also very important; In addition to being of great help to the actors, why should people from other groups also participate? Because from the script to the shooting, it is a process from 2D to 3D on-site, and it is also a process from the screenwriter working alone to the collaborative work of all departments······ He talked a lot again alone, and more and more people passed by behind him, because it was almost time to start.

He's been making movies for years

"Old man", and the script reading work has been held many times, so it can be said that he is proficient in this kind of workflow and system, so he nagged a lot.

Of course, he himself said it very well, after all, he was just filming his own movie diary, and he didn't need to care about the number of hits and the box office, and he didn't care if it would be too verbose or boring, so he said whatever he wanted.

"Li Jingkun's Shooting Diary" was not originally made into a funny or purely entertainment video, and many of the contents are actually a bit threshold.

Of course, viewers who can watch it can also watch it as a pastime. But of course, there are times when it ends, and there are more small talk things at the end.

"I have also done a lot of script reading in the film and television circles of Omi and Bangziguo, and I should be able to find some videos on the Internet, and basically every actor is very devoted. It's just a formal performance. A good actor has to be like this, to be able to do it without others looking at your expressions, only through your lines, only through your voice, you can feel your emotions and emotions, and you can know if you can actually perform······" As he spoke, Li Jingkun suddenly felt that the expressions of the people around him were a little wrong, and the corners of Wang Yang's mouth were a little smiling at the opposite photographer.

He guessed if someone was behind him, so he turned his head and saw Liu Tianxian at once.

In fact, she didn't bother too much or be funny or anything, just standing not far away, smiling and waving at the camera, and then comparing scissor hands.

"Do you want to say a few words?" Li Jingkun said to her with a smile. Liu Tianxian smiled and shook his head: "It's okay for you to say it, it's very good." ”

"I'm done." She still didn't come. Li Jingkun said, "Okay, what time is it?" Have you all arrived? "When we are here, we will wait for him alone.

Therefore, the script reading meeting officially began. Each reading session usually lasts about 3 to 5 hours, and of course there are breaks in between.

However, you can't do it all in one day, so it's usually held for about three or four days.

After the reading meeting, Li Jingkun also conducted a brief interview with all the groups, actors are indispensable, and then the photography team, recording team, etc. were also interviewed.

Everyone talked about the harvest and feelings of this reading meeting. After interviewing Liu Tianxian, he was surprised to find that the other party had made great progress, so after the interview, the two chatted alone for a while.

"It feels like you've really improved a lot."

"Really?" Liu Tianxian said.

"yes. Now that there's no footage, I don't need to brag about you - so you've been doing your homework very hard during this time? ”

"It's not bad, I basically don't have any other work arrangements, so I'm fully engaged in this movie."

"Yes, that's good."

"I don't think I can afford to miss the opportunity, right? After all, this script is really good! And you have also helped and inspired me a lot, I feel that I have understood the heroine's state of mind. Li Jingkun nodded, and then served the other party a teacup.

The two of them were chatting in his office at this time, and they were not needed for other work for the time being. At this time, the 4-day script reading meeting also ended, except for the first day when Liu's mother came with her, the other 3 days were all Liu Tianxian herself.

And the two of them are the male and female protagonists, so it's not surprising that they will often sit down together to discuss the script or play against each other.

Li Jingkun said: "Then now do you want to talk about the understanding of the heroine?" ”
