Chapter 222: Changes in "Journey to the West".

Zhou Yan also noticed that the makeup on Zhu Lin's face should have also undergone some changes, she was originally quite white, but now she looks at her complexion slightly yellowish, not so white.

Lin Lin in the movie is a worker, and her complexion naturally can't be too white, but unlike rural women who often do farm work, Zhu Lin's makeup is in the right direction.

Then Zhou Yan didn't say much, and asked Zhu Lin to start the audition directly.

During the audition, Zhu Lin's performance was very good, and she was in place in all aspects.

After it was over, she didn't speak, just smiled like this, quietly looking at Zhou Yan and the other directors.

Zhou Yan drew a circle behind Zhu Lin's name on the list, and then looked at Wang Xiaoshuai and Huo Jianqi next to him.

Huo Jian nodded, leaned his upper body towards Zhou Yan's side, and said in a low voice, "It's all good, that is, it's good to be thinner." ”

Zhu Lin must not be fat, at best she is full, but Lin Lin in the movie is on the thin side, if Zhu Lin can be thinner, it will naturally be more suitable for the role of Lin Lin.

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, and said directly to Zhu Lin: "Ms. Zhu, if you want to play the role of Lin Lin, you may need to lose more weight." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Lin immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I can lose some more weight, director, how much more weight is appropriate?" ”

Zhou Yan looked Zhu Lin up and down, "Take the liberty of asking, how much do you weigh now?" ”

"I'm more than one hundred and ten now, less than one hundred and two, and I haven't been on the scale recently, so I don't know the specific number." Zhu Lin replied.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "It should be okay to lose ten pounds." ”

I have to say that it is still normal for female stars to manage their weight now, Zhu Lin should look less than 1.65 meters, if it is placed in thirty or forty years, the female stars of this height are basically not more than 100, and even many stars are not even 90 pounds.

Zhou Yan has always felt that Shizuka is thin, but Shizuka's height and weight are very common in the entertainment industry thirty-four years later.

If it weren't for Lin Lin's character setting, Zhou Yan would not have asked Zhu Lin to lose weight, he felt that Zhu Lin's figure was just right and healthy.

"No problem, I can do it." Zhu Lin said very confidently.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this today, you go back and wait for the notice." ”

"Okay, directors, goodbye."

After Zhu Lin left, Wang Xiaoshuai said, "Zhu Lin's performance is still very good, if she can really lose ten pounds, Lin Lin's role can be given to her." ”

"I think her skin should be a little more yellow, but if she just relies on makeup, it's a little bit worse. Cinematic lenses will make some means hidden. Huo Jianqi said.

Zhou Yan glanced at Huo Jianqi, and said in his heart that this guy was a little too demanding on actors, and he thought that Zhu Lin should be no problem with makeup, and there was no need to go out of his way to show it.

"Let's not discuss the skin color first, let's see the effect of her slimming. Lin Lin's role is set for her first, and when today's audition is over, Huo Dao will inform Zhu Lin and let her stay in Yanjing. ”

Wang Xiaoshuai joked, "What, Director Zhou wants to arrange a weight loss plan for Zhu Lin." ”

"That's not it, in fact, ten catties is fine, and the time left for her is quite long. Let's not waste time, let's call the next one. ”

"Okay."

……

At the end of the day's audition, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhou Yan and Huo Jianqi exchanged opinions together.

Most of the roles auditioned today have been decided, and even the candidates have been decided.

After exchanging opinions, Huo Jianqi said, "Director Zhou, I still care more about the children, and the most important role in this movie is actually a student." When, too, go to see those students? Did you read the list I gave you last time? ”

Zhou Yan asked Huo Jianqi to find the kind of problem teenager who was a little rebellious, preferably a student of a school choir, Huo Jianqi compiled a list according to what Zhou Yan said, and handed it over to Zhou Yan two days ago.

"I've looked at the list, it's still a little small, and when it's sorted out more, let's start screening again."

"I'm afraid that there won't be enough time, and we will have to train after the students come."

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "Except for Lin Ai, no one else needs to be trained." ”

"Just on?" Wang Xiaoshuai was surprised.

"Well, let them go directly, so we have to find the right one for the personalities of these characters, in the process of filming, Zhou Xuewen changed his students, and these actors also had to be changed."

Huo Jianqi licked his lips, "Isn't this too difficult, it's hard for these rebellious teenagers to say that they get better after making a movie." ”

"There are pros and cons to doing this, and it doesn't necessarily have to solve their problems, as long as you shoot the effect."

Huo Jian nodded, "I understand." ”

Zhou Yan patted his thigh and stood up, "Okay, you guys go to dinner, I'll go first." ”

Wang Xiaoshuai said strangely, "This is the order, if you don't eat in the factory canteen, where are you going?" ”

"I went to the school to eat, and by the way, I saw how Mr. Li and their studies were doing at school."

"If you don't say it, I'm almost forgetting that Mr. Li is studying in Yangyin."

……

Zhou Yan arrived at Yangyin, just in time for the meal, Wang Xueqi and Li Xuejian were eating in the cafeteria, and there were many students gathered around them.

These two people have been mixing in CCTV every day during this time, and they are also familiar with the students. Usually not only do they go to class together, but they also eat and drink together.

Today is Sunday, there are no classes in all departments, but there are many activities, Wang Xueqi and they didn't give themselves a holiday, so they stayed in the school and participated in activities with the students.

Seeing Zhou Yan coming, the students greeted Zhou Yan one after another.

"Teacher Zhou."

"Senior brother."

Interestingly, Li Xuejian still called Zhou Yan "Director Zhou", while Wang Xueqi followed some students to call Zhou Yan "Senior Brother", and made Zhou Yan stunned for a moment.

Seeing Zhou Yanfaleng, Wang Xueqi explained with a smile, "If you want to integrate, you have to be thorough." ”

Li Xuejian joked, "You call Senior Brother Zhou with such an old face, he must not be used to it." ”

"What's that, I've heard someone tell me that the graduate students in the composition department were still thirty or forty years old before, and they weren't much worse than me."

Wang Xueqi is right, there are indeed thirty or forty-year-old graduate students in the composition department, and this kind of people generally come to the central sound for further study after participating in many years of work.

Jia Guoyi is like this, and Zhao Jiping is in a similar situation.

This is also the case in other departments, but it is more common in composition departments.

……

After eating in the cafeteria, Zhou Yan took the two of them to chat while walking around the school.

Wang Xueqi took the initiative to ask about today's actor audition, "Is today's actor audition still ideal?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Well, it's ideal, most of the adult actors have already been decided, and the rest, if the students are decided, there will be no problem with the actors." ”

"That's good."

They didn't ask the other Wang Xueqi, after all, they are just actors, and if they ask too much about filming, they may make the director think that they have crossed the line.

Although Zhou Yan looks very easy to get along with, they are not very familiar after all, and the two don't know what kind of style Zhou Yan is, and many directors are more mindful of actors asking too much.

Interfering with the director is a taboo for actors.

Some actors can't figure it out, and they feel that they have acted in many plays and are famous, so they want to point fingers at the director, which is easy to go wrong.

Especially young directors like Zhou Yan will definitely be very sensitive to actors' interference.

They didn't ask, but Zhou Yan took the initiative to say a few words, "The framing is going on simultaneously, and all the plans have not encountered any resistance for the time being, if there is no accident, the machine can be started as usual next spring, and you can study with peace of mind." You can arrange the time freely, just learn to come out. ”

"That's not good, such a good opportunity, I have to study hard." Wang Xueqi said.

Zhou Yan smiled and didn't speak, Wang Xueqi stayed in Yangyin for a while, and he was still quite excited, but he didn't know if he would be able to have such a prosperous head after a while.

After sending Wang Xueqi and them out of the school gate, Zhou Yan turned back to the teaching building and went to the office of the command department.

Che Yongqiang was alone in the entire office, and when he saw Zhou Yan, he smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, what are you doing?" I've shown you all the young actors in our troupe. ”

Zhou Yan took the time to go to Yang Tuan before and saw those children, but he didn't find what he wanted, which was also what he expected.

"I'm here to find Mr. Yang this time."

"Find my teacher, what's the matter?"

"I lack a conductor in the movie, and I want Mr. Yang to try it."

"Acting is going to take a long time?"

"It won't take too long, it will be done in a day or two."

Zhou Yan looked for Yang Hongnian because he wanted him to play the elderly Lin Ai, who is a real conductor, and it must be best for professionals to play it.

Yang Hongnian was the right age, and Zhou Yan started his idea.

Hearing that it could be done in a day or two, Che Yongqiang nodded, "This time is okay, I guess the teacher may agree to you." ”

"Is Teacher Yang at home now?"

"No, he was still in the office just now, he went out, and he will probably be back in a while, why don't you sit and wait."

Hearing Che Yongqiang say this, Zhou Yan sat down and waited for Yang Hongnian to come back.

Che Yongqiang is quite interested in Zhou Yan's movie, "Your new movie is mainly about music, is there any role suitable for me." ”

Zhou Yan looked Che Yongqiang up and down, "There are roles, if you want to play them, you can choose them when the time comes." ”

"Can you still pick?" Che Yongqiang said unexpectedly.

Zhou Yan nodded, "You can choose, there is a concert scene, and there will be thousands of spectators on the scene, and you can choose the location when the time comes." ”

Cha Yongqiang pouted, "It turned out to be the audience." ”

"Why don't you go on stage and play a virtuoso."

"Forget it, I'll still be an audience, if my teacher acts, I will definitely go over to cheer at that time." Che Yongqiang waved his hand and asked, "Is your movie going to be released overseas?" ”

"Well, there is a high probability that Neon will be released, and it is difficult to say in Europe and the United States for the time being."

"That's a good idea."

Zhou Yan sat in the office for more than twenty minutes, without waiting for Yang Hongnian to come back.

Che Yongqiang said, "Otherwise, I'll tell the teacher about acting, and I'll give you an answer later." Depending on the situation, maybe he went somewhere and won't come back today. ”

"It's okay for me to visit at a time."

"I'll ask the teacher first, see what he says, if he comes to school tomorrow, you can just meet at school."

"Okay, that's a lot of work."

"You're welcome."

Five or six minutes after Zhou Yan left, Yang Hongnian returned to the office.

Seeing Yang Hongnian, Che Yongqiang patted his thigh, "Hey, I knew that Zhou Yan would leave later." ”

Yang Hongnian looked at Che Yongqiang and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Che Yongqiang explained, "Zhou Yan came to look for you just now, and when the elder didn't wait for you for a while, he left first." ”

"What is he looking for me for?" Yang Hongnian was puzzled, "Didn't I help him with the matter of looking for a little actor before, but he didn't find a suitable one himself." ”

"I said that there is a conductor role in the new movie that suits you, and I want to invite you to participate."

"Acting." As soon as he heard about acting, Yang Hongnian pouted, "I can't do this, and I'm busy with things in the group now, and I can't get away." ”

"It was said that it could be filmed in a day or two, and I heard Zhou Yan say that the new movie must also be released overseas, what a face."

"I don't care about what shows my face and doesn't show my face."

"Yes, yes, yes." Che Yongqiang nodded again and again, "Teacher, you are not a layman, of course you can't look down on these common names, but Zhou Yan's new movie is about music and education, and you are a well-known educator in the music industry, if you help, you can also add a lot of color to the movie." Besides, movies are also a means of publicity, and if there are many people watching them, they can also play a great role in promoting music education. ”

If Zhou Yan is next to him at this moment, he has to give Che Yong a big gift, this guy is really helpful.

Yang Hongnian was also moved by the student's words, "If it's only for a day or two, it's not impossible to think about it, but I have to read their script first, and I can't shoot it in a daze." ”

"There must be no problem with this, I'll tell Zhou Yan when I turn around. I believe that the script must be very good, and Zhou Yan's first two films are of a very high standard. ”

"Really?" Yang Hongnian usually doesn't pay attention to movies, and he has heard several tunes in Zhou Yan's two movies, that is, "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly".

"Yes, his last movie broke the box office record of Chinese movies in Neon."

"Sounds really good." Yang Hongnian nodded, "Then I'll talk to Zhou Yan when I go back." ”

Hearing the teacher say this, Che Yongqiang smiled, he knows his teacher too well, and after this set, the teacher will definitely be moved.

……

Zhou Yan didn't know that Che Yongqiang was helping him, and as soon as he walked out of the pager at the school gate, he received a message from Yang Guohui, saying that he would send someone to send the film of "Journey to the West" tomorrow.

After Zhou Yan went home, he called Yang Guohui back and agreed to go to Yanjing Factory with their people tomorrow to watch the film.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan began to think about doing a film studio, otherwise, it would be very troublesome to watch a film.

Last time, Li Xiuhai, the director of the electronics factory, hinted that the No. 3 building next to him could be rented to him, and he didn't take this stubble at that time, but now he can consider it.

The height of Building 3 is certainly not good if it is used as a music studio, but if it is used as a film studio, it is still barely enough.

Zhou Yan wants to build a film studio, and it won't involve too much film production, at most, as long as it can meet the simple washing, cutting and blowing.

What's more, if Zhou Yan wants to cultivate his own team in the future, then these people can also have a place to stay.

The next morning, Zhou Yan docked with the staff sent by Yang Guohui.

When Zhou Yan watched the film, the staff followed the whole process, and they were not at ease, for fear that Zhou Yan would accidentally leak their film.

Zhou Yan also understands their worries.

"Journey to the West" will be released in two parts, and what they sent over is not separated, it is a combination of the upper and lower parts, and it is not the final version, adding up to more than four hours.

Four hours of straps are a lot, and the staff drove them over.

Like the soundtrack of other movies, Zhou Yan also watched and memorized, a four-hour movie, he started watching it at nine o'clock in the morning and didn't finish it until nine o'clock in the evening.

At first, the two staff members accompanied Zhou Yan together, but then they couldn't stand it, so they began to arrange shifts and take turns to accompany Zhou Yan.

It wasn't until half past nine that Zhou Yan finished watching the last picture.

In fact, he watched it very quickly, after all, the soundtrack of this movie has been basically completed, and it is relatively simple, otherwise, Zhou Yan would have to watch the four-hour movie for a few days.

This version of "Journey to the West" is actually quite different from the original version that Zhou Yan has seen, there are many plots in it that Zhou Yan has not seen, and there are also some plots that Zhou Yan has seen that do not appear in it.

Zhou Yan noticed that the role of Mrs. Niu had a little more scenes than the original version, probably considering that Chen Hong was an actor of Zhou's, so he cut some more shots into it.

And I don't know if it's a makeup problem, or because Chen Hong is really beautiful, Zhou Yan always feels that this version of the role of Mrs. Niu is much more brilliant.

Mrs. Niu's makeup must be ugly, but it may be that the ugly makeup does not cover Chen Hong's beauty, or it may be that the makeup artist is merciful, anyway, this version of Mrs. Niu is more eye-catching than the original.

If it is officially released later, and Mrs. Niu's footage will not be edited in other ways, maybe Mrs. Niu will also leave a deeper impression on the audience.

Chen Hong at this age is at the peak of her appearance, and she will not lose in front of anyone, even if she replaces Zixia or Bai Jingjing with her, it is not impossible.

Even Zhou Yan felt that Chen Hong was more suitable for Bai Jingjing than Mok Wenwei, but Bai Jingjing and Zixia were decided by Stephen Chow, and it was impossible for others to play them at that time.

Zhou Yan expected changes in the movie, after all, the script of this movie was incomplete, and many plots relied on temporary play, so naturally there would be a lot of differences.

However, these are all local changes, and the overall style of the film has not changed, nor has it had much impact on Zhou Yan's soundtrack work. (End of chapter)
