Chapter 34 Casting Auditions
When Chen Ping used He Changqing's racing accident and reporting the He family's illegal charging on the highway, he led the central government to investigate and deal with Shanghai's medical insurance funds and messed up the entire Shanghai officialdom, when He Guozhang and He Guoming, the brothers, were looking for people to seek relationships with each other and wanted to overcome this difficulty, Chen Ping, the planner and Li Jupeng, the executor, became leisurely.
While fighting with the He family, Chen Ping's plan to help Le Qingyun make movies was not lost. In just a few days, Li Jupeng had already brought out the prototype of a crew through the name of the film company he registered. Although it was not very professional, at least the costume artists, lighting artists, setters, makeup artists, and theater recordings were all in a complete range. After all, there are not many other people in China, and there are quite a lot of people running all over the streets in all walks of life.
At the same time, the movie script modified by Le Qingyun has been sent to the director for the last step of the script processing, that is, to change a literary script into a storyboard script according to the picture imagined in the director's mind.
The director is Le Qingyun's brother in charge of contact. After reading the script repeatedly according to Le Qingyun, she felt that since this movie is to be nostalgic, it should not be too fancy. It only needs to be more plain and can evoke memories of the post-80s group. Therefore, the director Le Qingyun finally chose is a documentary director with memories of the post-80s.
In response, Chen Ping joked to Le Qingyun: "You are very awesome! Others choose actors by directors, but there are still many girls who have to give in to the filming to accompany the director to go out to the big bed. You are so good, you actually choose a director."
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, that's all just spreading rumors," Le Qingyun gave Chen Ping a lesson on knowledge popularization in the entertainment industry with a little amused. "As far as I know, unless some big-name directors or directors themselves are producers, most directors are just workers in film and television companies. Although they have the power to decide some actors, they are all irrelevant roles. More power is still concentrated in the hands of the producers and producers of the film. After all, they are the real bosses of the film. How can a director do this for a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars? Then Chen Ping, would you risk the director making a profit at the risk of losing money on the film?"
"Of course not. If he dares, I will drive him!" Chen Ping replied without thinking.
"That's all," Le Qingyun said, "so it's normal to choose a suitable director to make the script into a movie after the investor has selected the script."
Listening to Le Qingyun's explanation, Chen Ping suddenly realized: "So, it turns out that those little girls who were unwritten by the director's unwritten rules have lost! Only the way you find me, the investor, to find the most correct one!"
Le Qingyun kicked Chen Ping in shame and annoyed and said, "How come you are so dirty in your mouth!"
Chen Ping was so arrogant that he could naturally ignore Le Qingyun's shameful actions. After pulling up the crew and choosing a director, Chen Ping and his friends had to do next to choose actors for the movie.
Although Le Qingyun had already helped select a group of actors from the Shanghai Theater Academy while revising the script, in order to achieve the best results and to be good at acting, he does not necessarily have to graduate from the Theater and Film Academy. Just like Ni Ni, the female lead of the Thirteen Flowers of Jinling, isn’t Ni Ni from the Department of Language Communication of Communication University? Therefore, when officially recruiting actors, Le Qingyun still chose to recruit publicly.
Since Chen Ping and others positioned this movie as a small investment movie, it is natural to avoid choosing big stars. Even professional actors with excessively expensive prices can be eliminated as soon as possible. In the end, Chen Ping and Le Qingyun concluded that they contacted major universities and recruited actors from the school.
This matter is much simpler. After all, who can't dream of a celebrity? At the age of 20, he was just dreaming, so Chen Ping and the others spent some money to publish the recruitment of actors through the school in an official way. Li Jupeng's company's phone number was about to be blown up. In just one week, thousands of people came to register, which made Li Jupeng very regretful. If each person charged a registration fee of 100, it would probably be based on the registration fee for the selected actors.
Then there is the selection of actors, that is, audition. This process is very similar to the format of the talent show of Fast Girl Super Man. The director and the producer sit in a row, with the camera facing directly in front, and the actors come out one by one to walk within the range of the camera to perform a set of scene actions designated by the director.
However, the difference from talent shows is that when auditioning actors, no matter whether the actors perform well or badly, the director cannot speak on the spot, because after all, thousands of people are prone to aesthetic fatigue. Therefore, even if it is particularly bad, the death penalty will not be announced on the spot. The video of the scene must be brought back. On the premise of a calm mood, the actors will be repeatedly selected. By analyzing whether the actors are on camera, whether they have a sense of camera, that is, whether the actors' performances in front of the camera can be natural and relaxed and unpretentious, etc., the selected persons can enter the second audition.
Chen Ping and Li Jupeng did not attend the first audition because they saw from the photos on the registration form that these people have uneven qualities, so they simply waited for the primary election to go directly to see the remaining fine products that were screened.
Video recordings of thousands of people, even if everyone has less than one minute of performance, it is still a long task to compare each person's performance with a normal mind and carefully compare it.
Finally, after nearly half a month of careful selection, Le Qingyun and the documentary director finally selected 400 male actors and 200 actresses from the thousands of applicants for a second audition.
But to be honest, in the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", most of them are male dramas. In addition to the heroine Shen Jiayi, the other female supporting roles actually have very few scenes, which can be said to be even more embellished than embellishments. However, when selecting actors, Chen Ping and Li Jupeng completely changed the main and secondary. When selecting male actors, they only showed their faces when the final decision was made, but when selecting actresses, they were extremely attentive. Whether it was the audition of script clips or the scene sketch performance, they insisted on seeing the end from the beginning. Not only that, they also commented on each actress, but they did not comment on their ability to understand the script or the level of commitment to the performance, but just a simple pervert comment.
"Chen Ping, look at this girl's legs are so amazing, straight, slender and round. If you pinch it on her, it will definitely be awesome!"
"Well, it's true, but the stockings she wears have a shaping effect, so it's hard to say what her legs look like, and she's too ordinary and her breasts aren't big enough. In my opinion, it's probably not even a b."
"I think it's not too much, because I heard that Shanghai girls generally have this standard, and any ten *** that exceeds b and above are silicone."
"You don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that nowadays, underwear is basically covered with inner mats. This mat is not even a b-cover. What level do you think she should be flat to? In contrast, I think the girl in front is good, her figure is really S-shaped, and her skin is also very good, very white and tender, and she looks good."
"But the sound is a bit old, which makes people feel uncomfortable!"
"indeed."
The obviously bad intentions of Chen Ping and Li Jupeng made Le Qingyun very annoyed. I believe that if Le Qingyun hadn't thought about maintaining the unity and stability of the entire crew in front of a vote of recruiting actors, Le Qingyun would have driven people long ago.
In contrast, the documentary director on the other side was very calm, but this was probably because this child had seen many monsters and monsters in the circle and had already cultivated the indifferent nature of the four elements.
However, both Le Qingyun and the director are still good. After all, although Chen Ping and Li Jupeng are obviously bad-minded, at least they have not interfered in any work. However, if Chen Ping and Li Jupeng's leisure now are troubled by He Guozhang, who is being disturbed by the medical insurance case, he will probably be so angry that he vomits blood. Even if he fights his life, he will definitely find a way to send them into the bureau and teach them a lesson.
