Chapter 43. Casting [Seeking to Follow-up]

"Send You a Little Red Flower" is a drama film starring Yi Yang Qianxi and Liu Haocun, which tells the story of the anti-cancer story of the two families of Wei Yihang, a boy suffering from cancer, and Ma Xiaoyuan, a girl, and thinks about the life problems that every ordinary family will face when facing the disease.

When Sun Yi guessed that it was a patient theme, the first thing that came to mind was this film.

In the conference room, Jiang Wei took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one from it, lit the fire with a "pop", took a puff, threw the cigarette on the conference table, and said:

"Shhhh Call... Then the script is set, and when you go back, Xiao Xue, you help Sun Yi and ponder the lines. ”

Xue Xiaolu on the side nodded, this kind of story of youth love and family warmth is what she is good at.

Tian Zhuang and Wang Jinsong also took out one cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and lit it.

"Success, then I'll arrange the selection of scenery according to this book, and arrange the venue and studio."

"Then I'll start screening actors here."

Sun Yi didn't interject, got up silently and opened half of the small window in the conference room, and then returned to his seat.

Tian Zhuang picked up the script again and flipped through it, secretly calculated in his heart, and after a while, he said with some distress:

"Tsk, Wang Lao, Lao Jiang, there is a problem, the budget is a little insufficient, the limit given by the production center is 1.8 million, the machines and equipment on my side are all according to the teaching price, and the studio will charge a water and electricity bill, and the personnel can only get subsidies and no wages, but the exterior is not cheap, and it is estimated that it will exceed the budget."

After Jiang Wei heard this, he also thought about it for a while, nodded and said:

"Indeed, Sun Yi's book has a lot of exterior scenes, and he also got a trip to Qinghai, our literature department is all bitter haha, there must be no money, so I can only adjust the plot and delete the exterior scenes."

When Sun Yi heard this, he immediately became anxious.

In the previous life, "Send You a Little Red Flower" was a theatrical movie, with 120 minutes, and this time the customized project of the movie channel is a TV movie, and the length of the film requires a maximum of 100 minutes, which is already 20 minutes less.

He has racked his brains to delete it, and deleted some high-tech plots in later generations, and changed those that can be changed, for example, V letter and live broadcast, these have been replaced by QQ and space, and the corresponding plot has also been reduced.

In terms of characters, the scenes of the owner of the patient group have also been greatly reduced, and the same-sex identity and background of the owner of the patient group are vaguely mentioned in the original film, Sun Yi feels that it is completely unnecessary, even if he does not delete it, the movie channel will have to kill him.

Just like that, in the end, it barely lasted about 100 minutes, and if it was reduced, the expression of the story would not be complete enough, this was his first male lead film, of course he wanted to pursue perfection.

Tian Zuo saw Sun Yi's eagerness and said with a smile:

"Yo, this kid is in a hurry, I can understand your mood, but there is no way, the reality is like this, it is impossible for the production center to add any more money."

"I'll pay for it myself, okay?"

"Of course not, this is not a commercial film in theaters, this is a cooperation project between the movie channel and Beijing Film, what kind of business is it for you to pay personally."

Director Jiang ruthlessly refuted Sun Yi's proposal.

Wang Jinsong pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"Tsk, our acting department still has a budget of 300,000 yuan, but this money is for next year's 02 acting class graduation drama, but it can be moved, but after this is moved, it will ......."

"Director, can this graduation drama be invested personally?"

Wang Jinsong deliberately glanced at Sun Yi, laughed secretly in his heart, and then said seriously:

"Theoretically, no, but as a student of the Beiying Performance Department, your identity is barely justified." Then the tone of the conversation changed, "Ling... How are you going to invest? ”

"I pay for a movie, so I can let my brothers and sisters participate." Sun Yi replied very happily.

"Yo, I didn't see it, I'm still a little tyrant. Ah, it's exposed in one go, hahaha......"

Director Tian pointed at Sun Yi and smiled at everyone, and several teachers present also laughed at Sun Yi.

This is the first cooperation between Beiying and the movie channel, it is bound to keep improving, the first one has a good reputation, and it is a "good start", won't there be a second part next year, the third part, there is so much money in the film fund every year, can these directors not be greedy?

Now that Sun Yi has contributed money, of course they are very happy.

And at this moment, Sun Yi is not thinking about this little money.

The movie itself must be done, instead of looking for outsiders, it is better to cooperate with Beiying and use the resources of the school, which is something that no number of people can ask for. The cost is low, the professionals are chosen at will, and the professional guidance of the teachers, well, this wave of blood is earned.

Everyone laughed for a while, Wang Jinsong snuffed out the cigarette butt and said to Sun Yi:

"1 million is not a small number, have you thought about it?"

"Director, don't worry, next year, we will directly make the graduation drama into a movie, and go to theaters, 1 million is not enough, I can add more, I will make a military order."

Sun Yi was still afraid that Wang Jinsong would regret it, and the one who agreed was called a Lisuo.

Wang Jinsong smiled, he looks good at Sun Yi now, and he is willing to give him this opportunity, so he agreed:

"Okay, then it's decided, our acting department, move 300,000 over."

"Okay, Lao Wang, now that the funds are enough, the script is finished, I will arrange the crew, and there are only the actors left, let's decide together today." Director Tian Zhuang's sentence was concluded.

Wang Jinsong nodded and agreed:

"Okay, let's hurry up, I propose that we use all the actors from Beiying, and we should contribute to the school's education. I'm sure the old alumni will have this realization. ”

When Tian Zhuangyi heard this, he was very much in agreement, opened the character introduction of the script, glanced at it and said:

"Well, that's a good idea, in the script, in addition to the male and female protagonists, there are 4 main characters, the male protagonist's father, mother, female protagonist's father, and a patient group leader. What do you think? ”

"Male dads use ......"

"He's young, so change who......"

"I'm not worried about her acting skills, isn't she a little young in age?"

"The script sets the male protagonist's mother in her early 40s, not a few years old, and the makeup is a little older, so it's not a big problem."

"The heroine's father doesn't have many scenes, but he is a man now, can he come?"

"I'm going to invite in the name of the school, and he will definitely give ...... this face"

"There aren't many main actors in the patient group, just my former student Xiao Xing."

......

The teachers discussed the specific actors, Sun Yi didn't interject, he knew that this was not something he could say, anyway, the specific background setting of each character, he had already written it very clearly in the script, I believe that the teachers can choose the most suitable actors.

Listening to the lineup that the teachers talked about, Sun Yi was uplifted in his heart, these are all big names, if he is invited by himself now, it is estimated that no one can take care of him, it has to be Beiying, with a deep heritage.

At the end of the discussion, Teacher Cui Xinqin suddenly said to Sun Yi:

"Sun Yi, the heroine of this play, what do you think, after all, she has the most games with you."

After speaking, Cui Xinqin looked at the few people present and said jokingly:

"We need to respect the opinion of the actor. After all, people can be regarded as indirectly out of 1 million. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room......
