0013 [There is a chance to cooperate again]
A day passed, and the auditorium was lively. The initial student withdrawal incident did not affect Wan Xiaohu's selection of actors at all. More than 30 people competed for nine main characters, and the elimination rate was not low. However, Wan Xiaohu had a good impression of these 30 students. Most of the people who failed to be selected got a supporting role, and it was not a waste of time.
In addition to the male lead, the female lead and the second female lead are still to be decided because the competition is too fierce. The remaining six characters have been selected.
Zu Feng, who is in the 96th level, plays Li Liang, who is in the 99th level, plays grandson, plays Huang Xiaoming, who is in the 96th level, plays Zhao Xiaosan, plays Yu Bo, who is in the 99th level, plays Du Haitao, plays Ke Youlun, a student in the 99th level, and plays IAN, and plays Pan Yuchen, a student in the 98th level, as Zhang Lin.
"Okay, today's audition ends here. The audition of the three leading actors will continue tomorrow. The actors who get the role will go to the copy shop outside the school gate with Li Xia later, and copy the script, one copy for each person, and carefully study it. We may shoot the day after tomorrow."
"clear."
"Okay, let's break up. I am a poor man and the crew is also a small crew. I won't invite everyone to dinner. After the movie is finished, I will invite everyone to have a big meal."
"Brother Tiger, remember what you said." Huang Xiaoming said seriously.
"After, follow Brother Hu, just wait and enjoy the delicious food." Wan Xiaohu patted Huang Xiaoming's shoulder excitedly, haha, the future star of the king level is just his younger brother now.
At night, others may have started to rest, but Wan Xiaohu and Li Xia have not yet rested. The rental equipment has been shipped over and temporarily stored in a private house near the school. The next door to the private house is the recording artist and musician Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang's dormitory will also be decorated as the housing of the male protagonist Chen Wen.
Using all available resources is the theme of Wan Xiaohu's movie.
"Chen Chong, DV camera, you can put it on for the time being. When tomorrow, I will rent a 35mm film camera. There are several sets of city scenery shooting in my storyboard script. I feel that the color of the DV picture cannot be well interpreted, so I need to use film photography to supplement it." Wan Xiaohu spread the storyboard script and showed it to Chen Chong.
Storyline scripts, also known as setting workbench scripts, are scripts that convert text scripts into image media. Because the setting content and production costs of movies are different, storyline scripts can also be simple and complex. For complex storyline scripts, one of which is created for blockbusters, please ask the best artist to describe the content of the picture.
However, the hand-painted storyboard script of Wan Xiaohu's "Waiting Alone" is the most simple, with a simple sketch illustration with an explanation. The description is annotated with the mirror number, scene type, shooting method, picture content, audio, music, animation effects, special effects and other contents.
"This group, this group, and this group, has three sets of scenes in total. The city scenery needs to be filled. You will take people to shoot tomorrow, and we will rinse it out to see the effect at night."
"OK."
"Li Xia, I have to give you an important task." Wan Xiaohu found Li Xia again.
"What task is explained."
"That's right. I've arranged a set of shots about the heroine Liu Rong. At first, Liu Rong was a supporting role, but in the end, Liu Rong got involved and became the heroine in a martial arts crew. I want to shoot a set of shots of Liu Rong filming. You can contact the crew who is working in the capital to see if they can communicate and give us some convenience?"
Li Xia nodded: "If some blood is released, you should be able to agree?"
"Okay, you go find it and come to me for reimbursement."
"kindness."
After finishing the trivial matters, he guided the crew up and down and looked at the time. It was already past three o'clock in the morning. All the students in the crew went back to sleep. Wan Xiaohu was in Zhang Yang's room and squeezed a bed with Zhang Yang. At this time, Beijing Electric had locked the door and went in without a dormitory.
"tiger."
"kindness?"
"I'm thinking about the soundtrack. You arranged a lot of shots in the script that require background music and mix the content of the music and movies one by one. It's a bit difficult."
"Waiting Alone" is a movie produced in 2005. The soundtrack and interlude that Wan Xiaohu is familiar with hasn't been born yet. Even if he knows the fragmentary lines of these songs, he can't copy them. He has made MVs, but after all, he is not professional in music. How to compose music and write lyrics is a troublesome.
Even if he has made all the original episodes, he has to invite someone to record songs and enter the recording studio, so the expenses should not be too high. The best way at this stage is to let Zhang Yang use the songs that have appeared to tinker with new episodes. A movie made by a college student himself and buying some songs to play, it will not be expensive.
"I'll leave this job to you anyway, and you have to help me with your twelve distractions." Zhang Yang is Chen Chong's good friend and a well-known musician in the future. Wan Xiaohu is still very relieved about him.
"You can't put pressure on me."
"I won't put pressure on you, I will only give you a deadline. Before April 10, you must get the soundtrack done."
"So urgent?"
"It's okay if you don't hurry. The 7th Beijing University Student Film Festival will be held on April 15. I have received the recommendation of the department director. As long as the film is produced, I can get a place to participate in the film festival. If the film is not produced yet, how can I explain it to the leaders?"
"I'm under a lot of pressure from time to time."
"That's your business. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to sleep and I'm so sleepy." Wan Xiaohu believed in Zhang Yang's ability and was not too worried. Besides, "Waiting Alone" wins with the plot, and the soundtrack is just a sloppy.
After sleeping until after eight o'clock in the morning, Wan Xiaohu had to get up and rushed to the school auditorium. Today's three starring candidates are waiting for his audition.
The male protagonist Chen Wen left behind three competitors, Huang Haibo, Zhao Zhengyang and Liu Mu. The female protagonist Liu Rong left behind four competitors, Asru, Miao Pu, Haiqing and Pan Xingyi. The female second-ranked Li Jing left behind four competitors, Yao Chen, Zheng Jiaxin, Xu Huanhuan and Cui Bo. There were eleven people in total.
This audition is not just about performing a plot.
Chen Chong had already prepared a professional photography DV of Sony DSR-70P model. All actors who participated in the election would show themselves in front of the camera. Whoever performed well in front of the camera was more in line with the character prototype, Wan Xiaohu would choose who. Of course, there was something Wan Xiaohu didn't explain. He had seen the original movie and had already had a solidified thinking about the character's image.
This will affect his casting criteria.
For example, when Chen Chong and Li Xia both admired Hai Qing, Wan Xiaohu silently made a flip in his heart. Hai Qing had short hair, which was inconsistent with the role of Liu Rong. The original version of "Waiting Alone" was played by Li Bingbing, with long hair and a little baby fat. Wan Xiaohu always felt that this was the most beautiful character of Li Bingbing in the movie.
Of course, Wan Xiaohu had a template similar to Li Bingbing in his mind.
After the subsequent shots were displayed, Wan Xiaohu made the final decision.
"Zhao Zhengyang, Liu Mu, Asru, please, Pan Xingyi, Zheng Jiaxin, Xu Huanhuan, Cui Bo, I'm sorry, you were eliminated. You are all good actors, just not in line with the image of this movie. I hope we will have a chance to work together next time. Of course, if you are willing to stay and play a supporting role, I'm very welcome."
