Chapter 37 Audition Casting
Chapter 37 Audition Selection
First of all, actors of this level cannot be hired by a crew if you have money.
After all, this is different from shooting commercials. Shooting commercials has no impact on the main business. Once the money is in place, it will naturally be very good. Therefore, you can also see many well-respected old actors wearing armor and saying in front of the computer screen: "
Play it, it will be fun for three years, there is a new version of the ship that you have not tried before.”
But the filming schedule is different.
This is the main business.
When it comes to the main business, many veteran actors still cherish their feathers. They will not accept a script that they have not seen before. It is even more difficult to hire them if it is a bad movie that is terrible at first glance.
It doesn't mean that a contract will be signed or finalized.
Of course, there are also situations where the director's level is seriously unbalanced and the film fails.
However, more often than not, they will pick scripts. If they don't really like the scripts, they will rarely accept them unless the director has a lot of reputation in the industry.
But Zhou Ming is actually a new director. If you say he has face, he couldn't even hire someone like Meng Ga.
So how did he invite two great movie stars to come out one after another before the script was released?
The answer is also very simple.
"A few days ago, after you told your story, I thought it was feasible, so I went to Mr. Zhou Yuancheng with my salary."
Zhou Ming spoke with relish, his eyes full of pride: "Then I chatted with teacher Zhou Yuancheng and told your story. Although there is no script, I passed the first level, so I said, this film,
Teacher Zhuge Youling will also participate, and if he accepts it, the two of them will be able to play opposite each other."
"Then I went directly to Teacher Zhuge Youling and told me that Teacher Zhou Yuancheng was coming to this play, and then I paid the film according to the asking price."
"That's it?" Wu Zui was dumbfounded.
I originally thought it would be a difficult and tortuous story about visiting the thatched cottage three times and asking to come out.
I didn’t expect Zhou Ming’s clever plan, is this it?
And he actually succeeded? Invited two movie stars?
As for whether the remuneration is too high and spending so much money on actors, will subsequent filming cost more?
Is this a problem? I’m afraid of overspending and I’m still making a crappy movie!
What are funds used for?
Isn’t it just for super?
Either you beat it hard, or it beats you to death [shy].
"Actually, that's why your story is good enough." Zhou Ming said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to invite the two teachers out."
"However, with the participation of these two teachers, we can be regarded as exchanging a shotgun for a cannon this time. Next, I have to trouble you. You two may have to work harder next. You must rush out the script as soon as possible and strive for "The Giant Owl"
Before the movie is released, we can complete all the preliminary work and start shooting smoothly. The two teachers are also waiting for your script. After all, the contract has not been signed yet. The two teachers also mean that they must read the complete script first.
After the script is written, the contract will be signed.”
"Okay." Wu Zui said nothing and nodded in agreement.
In the following period of time, Wu Zui ended his leisurely life and returned to busyness.
First, he needs to spare at least three hours a day to go to Gu Yanqing's private studio.
Some things may seem simple, but only after you experience them personally can you understand that they are not as simple as you think.
For example, this is the case with writing scripts.
The first is the ideation stage.
The worldviews of the two worlds are slightly different, and the historical process is also slightly different, so some details still need to be changed in the background story.
Make some changes that suit this world.
Fortunately, the workload is not huge, because it is a parallel world after all.
Then it is broken down into the dialogue content of each character, the expressions when performing, the state that the actors should make, and what elements the set should have, etc.
These are all very complicated and require a lot of work.
As time went by, Wu Zui also felt that more hair was falling out on his head every day.
Fortunately, Wu Zui also learned a lot about scripts during this process.
The progress is still advancing steadily.
Soon, half a month later, it will be October 25th.
The complete script of "Let the Bullets Fly" has finally been completed.
Finally, after Gu Yanqing's evaluation, this film should be rated in the second category, and the first category should not be so easy to pass the review.
Yes, this is the legendary grading system in this world, but Wu Zui doesn't understand it very well yet.
The entire script is incredibly thick, with every line and every detail included, and then broken down into scenes.
The name of the screenwriter is naturally the name of the two people who wrote it.
First of all, as Gu Yanqing is the real main writer and the person who really turned this story into script form, his name should be ranked first.
The second place is Wu Sin’s name.
When the script actually came into Zhou Ming's hands, Zhou Ming was completely shocked.
"Perfect! It's really perfect!" Zhou Ming praised while flipping through the pages: "Really, even when I was studying in school, or until now, I have never seen such a good script.
If this is really filmed, really, we may see new breakthroughs."
Zhou Ming glanced at Wu Sui: "Now I really wonder how your brain grew. How can you write such a story?"
Gu Yanqing also nodded in agreement and said: "Even I have to admit that this movie is a good movie. Nowadays, many so-called well-known top screenwriters may not be able to write such a thing. There are too many details.
too much."
After getting the script, Zhou Ming was equivalent to getting the key to the crew.
This time, he didn't assign any role to Wu Zui.
Because this time Wu Zui didn't come to the rescue, but was involved from the beginning.
Then naturally, we have to follow the normal process.
First comes the crew formation, then auditions and casting!
Yes, it does not mean that if the crew hires you, you will definitely be able to play any role.
You can act if you can, but you must first pass an audition to determine whether you are suitable for a certain role.
If it is really not suitable, the director really has the right not to let you continue acting.
Because the signing of the contract will take place after the audition.
Wu Zui didn't think it was anything, because in his opinion, this was what he should do.
In the next few days, Zhou Ming became busy with the formation of the crew.
First of all, the original members of the previous crew were used again.
After all, everyone has worked together before, so it will naturally be easier to get along.
Secondly, another point is that Zhou Ming trusts them.
Everyone has come through the most difficult times.
Of course, the crew this time is much larger than that of "The Great Owl".
Zhou Ming also found many new staff members to join the team.
This time the shooting location is set in Guangdong Province!
Then, the audition and open casting process proceeded normally.
Soon, relevant news appeared on the Internet.
After all, after experiencing the popularity of "The Giant", both the director Zhou Ming and actors such as Wu Sui have already received a certain amount of attention on them.
This news is
[The director of "The Giant Owl" Zhou Ming has reassembled the crew, and this time he may cooperate with the actor! Among the first batch of cast members, Wu Sui, who plays Sompa Shan, is impressively included! 】
Chapter completed!
