Putting the photographer's words aside in advance, He Tianran took the eaten plate and said:
"Let's not rush this matter. We, the male lead, are still talking about it now. The start-up time is only set for the end of the year. When the project progresses further, the filming team will be almost ready. If it's quick, it will start around the end of the month. "
A serious large-scale production crew takes at least half a year from planning, scripting, financing to communicating with various personnel to schedule and officially start filming. He Tianran previously said that it would be ideal to start filming in November or February. If the investment is larger and the real scene is built directly, the early preparation time will be much longer. However, even He Tianran has no access to it for the time being, and there is no need to rush to shoot such a big project.
Screenwriting and cinematography are almost the director's right-hand men. Now the problem of screenwriting has been solved, but there has been little progress in the photography part. After the broadcast of "A Thousand Knots in the Heart", although He Tianran was praised by the audience for his particularly good visual effects and aesthetics Unique, but these are the results of the joint efforts of the art, props, lighting, photography, post-production and other teams.
But when it comes to photography alone, He Tianran is actually not satisfied.
Film and television dramas are different from movies. Not only the actors, but also other staff members do not have so much time for the director to slowly dig out the details for you on the scene. Some people think that a film takes 150 minutes to shoot for five or six months. It is too fast. An episode of a film and television drama takes 40 minutes. Shooting for five days is considered slow.
Therefore, the tacit understanding of the team is very important. Whether a film or television series is good or not depends greatly on the shortest board in the barrel principle. Ordinary viewers may pay more attention to the actors, and generally discuss the quality of acting skills. This is why The reason why many movie stars struggle with their acting skills as soon as they get on the small screen is actually largely because they don’t have that much time for you to slowly hone your acting skills on set, and you can shoot over and over again until you’re satisfied.
But as an insider and a director, He Tianran must pay attention to the overall situation. The importance of screenwriters and photographers is like that of Dou Kefeng to Wong Kar-wai and You Naihai to Johnnie To. They are the cornerstones of film and television style, so He Tianran is here this time. The selection of people for the two positions is to a certain extent more stringent than the selection of male and female leads. Since it is impossible for him to be arbitrary in some commercial matters, then he must do it on the technical and narrative levels. Only if you have the power to do it alone.
"Come on, do you want to see our actors audition?"
He Tianran extended an invitation to Hu Yue.
"Okay, I wish I could have asked for it!"
Everyone likes to feel valued, and Hu Yue was no exception. He readily agreed immediately.
The two came to the basement where the audition was held. Yu Hui and several directors who were in charge of the interview just came back from dinner. He Tianran made an introduction in the middle, and then asked:
"Is the teacher who auditioned Yu Guozhu that Sister Taozi mentioned is here?"
Yu Hui shook his head: "The time is set at half past two. Let's try some actors sent by Sister Lan now."
He Tianran looked at his watch, it was only half past one.
At the last meeting, she said that she would invite some little-known artists from Li Lan to come over, and she would arrange some small roles with good words for them to show their faces. There was no need for interviews, but Wen Liang took the initiative. Behind her It’s hard for these juniors to take this special case.
But the interview is actually more of a process.
"Okay, let's pack up and get ready to start. I'll also come and see how our company's artist business is doing."
He Tianran, who had boyish white hair, sat at the head of the interview table. Hu Yue, now regarded as the main screenwriting teacher, naturally sat next to him. He tidied his clothes in a fussy manner, and then picked up a pair of A solid stand.
Needless to say, they both have white hair and mustaches, and they don't look like two young people in their twenties. Even if they don't speak or curse, when they frown, they look better than the baby-faced Yu Huisi. More intimidating at the interview table.
"Hiss... It seems that I have to grow my hair long to look more mature."
Yuhui touched his hair, muttered, and began to arrange auditions for the actors waiting outside.
After a while, several stacks of information were handed over in the order of the interview. The interview for this kind of small role was different from yesterday's interview with Wen Liang. In both cases, five or six people came directly. Girls were not allowed to wear makeup and could only wear flat shoes. , first listen to their self-introduction, and after reporting the roles they want to participate in, they will receive a page of lines, go outside to change into costumes, prepare for ten minutes, and perform a part on the spot.
When this new group of newcomers came in, He Tianran's attention was attracted by a little girl in the front row. This girl was sweet-looking, dressed in simple sportswear, with long hair tied behind her head, a pair of natural smiling eyes, and her eyes were shining brightly. Come here and make people feel happy when they see you.
"Hello, Director He, Hello Director Yu, hello teachers, I am Su Xiaotong from Hong Kong City Film and Television. I am currently a junior at school, majoring in broadcasting and hosting. I am 20 years old, 168cm tall and 48kg in weight. , the role of this interview is maid Xiaoqiu."
This Su Xiaotong ranks first among the girls, so she is also the first one to introduce herself. She is indeed a student majoring in broadcasting and hosting. When she introduces herself, her articulation is clear and powerful, her words are precise and her accent is smooth, and she is also very familiar with the audition process. After saying that, he turned around and gave the camera in the middle a side and a back, and finally turned to a close-up of the front face.
With this posture and calmness, it seems that there are quite a lot of opportunities for auditions.
This girl He Tianran has an impression. When she went to Li Lan's company for a meeting the day before yesterday, she was one of the few newcomers who had a seat and listened to He Tianran's speech.
Li Lan has great expectations for her. Soon there will be a variety show for a girl group audition in Goose Factory. She will be the main one promoted by the company. Wen Liang was treated coldly before. If Su Xiaotong's audition results are okay, then after she becomes famous, she may be the one to be selected. Come and take over Wenliang’s resources.
But it's too early to say all this, and acting skills aside, in He Tianran's opinion, the Su Xiaotong in front of him should be facing a sweet guy like Gu Qiaoman. Bai Lingye's mixed-race appearance is blessed with a gentle and cool personality. There is a sense of aggression in her appearance, and there is also a kind of sheer delicacy in it. If you want to find a successor, you will definitely not be able to do it simply by being sweet or beautiful.
But then again, Li Lan does have good taste. At least the Su Xiaotong in front of her is one of the most beautiful women.
After she finished the introduction, others began to introduce one after another. The main questions were also asked by Yu Hui. He Tianran would only ask a few questions when he met someone who was interested. In his ears, he could only hear Hu Yue muttering in a low voice:
"Oh, all these kids aged 17 or 18 are here, they are getting old."
He Tianran was amused, and as a man born in 2003, he responded in a low voice:
"You know what it means to push the waves behind the waves? We born in the 2000s are already old. From now on, the world will be dominated by those born in the 2005s. But in five years, the people born in the 10s will come."
"Hey, this is too fast..."
For this group of artists from his own company, Yu Hui did not go out of his way to make things difficult. He gave each of them a page of lines and asked them to go down and prepare. However, when the others left the door, Su Xiaotong stopped and turned around. Said to He Tianran:
"By the way, Director He, there's something I've always wanted to ask...do you still remember me?"
"..."
Several people at the interview table were all employees of the company. When they heard this sentence, they all looked at the confused bald eagle.
Good guy, this Wenliang thing has just been settled, and now another one comes?
Do you have so many karma in your past life? Every now and then, a beautiful woman comes to ask me if I remember her...
"Ahem... I remember. Sister Lan introduced you at the meeting the day before yesterday. You were also at the banquet that night, right."
He Tianran was serious.
"Yes, I was there that day, but that's not what I'm talking about. Let me remind you, I also graduated from Hong Kong City Middle School!"
Seeing that the other party was willing to pay attention to her, Su Xiaotong took a step forward, closed the distance and reminded him.
He Tianran looked at her face that was approaching her and began to think.
Hu Yue next to him thought to himself, Director He is so handsome, young and rich, he must have incurred a romantic debt at some time, right?
He would definitely not say such words in front of the little girl, but the same thought undoubtedly appeared in the corners of the other people's mouths that raised silently.
"Ah, what a coincidence, you are also from Gangcheng Middle School..."
This information can only be expressed verbally by He Tianran. There is a five-year age difference between him and Su Xiaotong. He has graduated from junior high school but has not yet finished it. Isn't this an old schoolmate's joke?
Seeing that He Tianran had nothing to say, Su Xiaotong boldly took a step closer.
"I'll give you another reminder, Director He... you... stole my things!"
"Clam--?!"
At this time, everyone else started to cover their mouths when they heard this. Hu Yue placed his hand under the table and repeatedly made a "six" gesture to He Tianran.
"I, snatched, passed, you, east-west?!"
He Tianran couldn't help but repeat every word.
"Yes! I remember it very clearly, it was you!"
The little girl nodded solemnly.
There will be more updates in the next two days. In the last two days, it has been smaller and smaller, so please don’t be surprised.
