When many civil servants jumped out, Zhang Ran had a headache, but after Fang Zhangzi came out, he felt completely relieved. Professional problems still have to be solved by professionals. Although "The Sad" has been scolded a lot for this, it would be fine if this matter can be solved. Zhang Ran boldly started the casting work of "The Flyer".

"The Aviator" is adapted from Zhang Xiaoyu's short comic "Fly". The comic only has dozens of pages and the story is very simple. Qiao Zhengfei is a very smart boy, dressed up beautifully and cleanly, knowing that many things are not in the textbook. His father is an engineer in an aircraft factory and committed suicide because he is unbearable for criticism and fight. Therefore, Qiao Zhengfei is always silent and lonely, with no expression, like a wooden man. Only one classmate has seen his smiling face, a little bald head who admires Qiao Zhengfei, nicknamed 100 Watts.

Soon after the reform and opening up, many people were rehabilitated, but Qiao Zhengfei's father did not. Qiao Zhengfei's mother ignited her home in anger. After setting the fire, her mother drove him out of the house, but locked herself in the room. Not long after that, Qiao Zhengfei and her only friend, 100 Watt, broke up due to her father's problem.

Two years later, Qiao Zhengfei found 100 watts and asked him to see him test flight. On that day, Qiao Zhengfei flew away in a homemade plane, and no one had ever met him again.

When Qiao Zhengfei flew away in the comics, he was only fourteen years old. There was no problem with painting like this. There were many stories about boys saving the world in the comics, and there was no problem in building planes. But the movies must not be shot like this, and everyone would think it was false. Therefore, Zhang Ran must have to make a big transformation of the story to make the whole story more real and at the same time make this very simple story richer.

Zhang Ran's "The Aviator" is still in a three-act structure. The first part of the movie is the content of the comic, from the beginning until Qiao Zhengfei's mother sets fire to burn their house. However, in Zhang Ran's story, the character 100 Watts disappeared, replaced by a girl named Liu Jiao, who is childhood sweetheart with Qiao Zhengfei.

The second part of the movie takes place twelve years later in 1990, when Qiao Zhengfei and Du grew up and became workers in the factory. The two were in love secretly, but Liu Jiao's mother disagreed with the relationship between them. She thought Qiao Zhengfei's family was poor and arranged to arrange blind dates for her children.

Liu Jiao was very anxious, so she asked Qiao Zhengfei to prepare the bride money and then come to propose marriage. As long as her mother saw that Qiao Zhengfei could make money, coupled with her persistence, it would be done.

Half a year later, Qiao Zhengfei prepared the money and went to propose marriage. Halfway through, he saw a news in a newspaper, a farmer Cao Zhengshu, a farmer in An County, Mianyang, Sichuan Province, tested the flight. Since 1984, Cao Zhengshu has built a plane in his simple shed. This is his fourth test flight and his fourth failure.

For twelve years, the dream of flying has been fermenting and expanding in his heart. Qiao Zhengfei's chest. Qiao Zhengfei could no longer be self-reliant. He did not want his dream to crawl on the ground. So he decided that this time he wanted to let his dream fly. In order to build an airplane, he bought a motorcycle with the bride money for experiments and began to prepare for the production of the airplane.

Liu Jiao was very angry. Is it important to me or the plane important? The two began a cold war. During the cold war, Liu Jiao started a blind date according to her mother's request, but Qiao Zhengfei ignored this. Liu Jiao decided to get married in anger.

On the day of Liu Jiao’s wedding, it was also the day when Qiao Zhengfei tested the flight. Qiao Zhengfei came to Liu Jiao’s house and asked Liu Jiao to see her test flight. Liu Jiao followed Qiao Zhengfei to the test flight site despite her family’s opposition.

Unfortunately, the test flight failed, Qiao Zhengfei decided to go to the south. He asked Liu Jiao to go with him, but Liu Jiao refused. She wanted a stable life.

The third part of the movie, Qiao Zhengfei returned from the south six years later, and this time he had enough funds and technology, and he started to build planes again.

One day, Qiao Zhengfei met Liu Jiao on the street, beside her son. Liu Jiao advised him not to be obsessed with it anymore and to live a down-to-earth life.

On the day of the test flight, Qiao Zhengfei invited Liu Jiao to watch his test flight again. This was their agreement in his youth. At the test flight site, Liu Jiao dissuaded Qiao Zhengfei again and told Qiao Zhengfei not to fly again, but Qiao Zhengfei still boarded the plane without hesitation.

Qiao Zhengfei started the engine and the plane flew into the sky. After that, no one had seen Qiao Zhengfei again.

Zhang Ran accidentally saw this comic when he was in college. When Qiao Zheng flew up to the sky and flew towards the sun, he was deeply shocked. At that time, he decided that he must make the story into a movie in the future. Since then, he began to collect information and rewrite the script. It has been more than ten years since then. This story has become an obsession in Zhang Ran's life, and he has integrated with the character Qiao Zhengfei.

The story of "The Aviator" is somewhat similar to "The Sad", both of which are about dreams. However, Qiao Zhengfei is more awake than He Xi. He knew that to realize his dream, he had to make money. After his first test flight failed, he chose to go south. He spent six years earning enough money and then flew into the sky.

Zhang Ran also knew that it would take a lot of money to realize his dream of movies, and he also planned to make money desperately. However, now that Zhang Ran has no financial concerns in filming "The Aviator", he can design the scenes he wants as he pleases, and everything is based on the best movie effect, and he can make a good comeback for his dream.

The preliminary preparations for the movie have been done, and the most important thing now is the casting issue.

Zhang Ran plans to do the role of Qiao Zhengfei, and the role of Liu Jiao is Zhang Jingchu, so it is not difficult to find other roles. The real difficulty is the choice of actors of the young Qiao Zhengfei and Liu Jiao. Little Liu Jiao is relatively easy to find. She looks beautiful and smart, and just looks a bit similar to Zhang Jingchu's face.

The most difficult part is Xiao Qiao Zhengfei's actor. Qiao Zhengfei is not like Ma Xiaojun in "Sunny Days", who is naughty and heartless. If this is the case, just look for Zhang Yishan. Qiao Zhengfei looks relatively silent, has no expression, and looks a little cold. In Zhang Ran's heart, Xiao Qiao Zhengfei should have the cold feeling of the young Qin Shihuang in the TV series "Qin Shihuang".

Zhang Jingchu played soy sauce in "Qin Shihuang". Zhang Ran specifically asked her about the child who played the young Qin Shihuang. When she learned that the child was almost sixteen years old, she had to give up.

In order to find suitable actors, casting work began in early October. Zhang Ran sent four groups of people to cast nets to catch fish in Peking, and to the Youth Palace and Art School where children with artistic expertise appeared.

Zhang Ran had two requirements for Qiao Zhengfei, his temperament was deserted and his eyes were firm. These two points were particularly important. As long as these two points were used, this character could stand up. However, it was really difficult to find a child who met Zhang Ran's requirements. Until November, he could not find a suitable candidate.

Zhang Ran could only send more teams to get the camera to art palaces and art schools across the country to find people. When he saw a suitable one, he went there and asked: "Little classmate, can I take a picture of you?" Then he asked the child to introduce himself in front of the camera.

Cities such as Magic City, Jinling, and Rongcheng are all the targets of the working group. In art palaces and art schools in major cities, several deputy directors have taken thousands of girls just by shooting, and tens of thousands of boys passing by.

In the end, Zhang Ran selected five men and five women from tens of thousands of videos as seed contestants, intending to conduct some investigations on them and then select the final candidates. Among these ten children, Zhang Ran knew that he would embark on the road of acting in the future, and there were new and new humans that Zhang Ran had never heard of.

Now that the school is on holiday, Zhang Ran is not afraid of delaying his children's studies, so he invited his parents to take their children to Peking for the audition, and all the fees are covered by the crew.

One after another, newcomers who received interview invitations came to Beijing. These children and parents were arranged in different hotels, and they didn’t know that they had competitors. The auditions were also conducted separately, which could reduce their pressure and prevent them from being unable to play their characteristics due to tension.

The audition was in the conference room of Tiangong Chongcai. The things in the room were cleared, and there were three tables in the center. Zhang Ran, Zhao Fei and Ning Hao were respectively seated.

It was nine o'clock, and the first child who auditioned entered the room and the audition officially began.

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded at the little boy in front of him, and said in a very gentle tone: "Hello, thank you very much for attending the audition. Please introduce yourself!"

The boy seemed very calm and introduced himself: "Hello uncle, my name is Qin Junjie, I am twelve years old this year. I am from Xiamen City, Fujian Province!"

Zhang Ran nodded, the child was good. He said again: "Can you sing? If you know, sing a song for us!"

Qin Junjie sang: "Let's roar, the boat pushes away the waves, the sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls..."

During Qin Junjie's singing, Zhang Ran was always paying attention to his expression and breath. Qin Junjie's expression was very calm and his breath was very stable. Zhang Ran was very satisfied. This child had a cold and calm temperament, which was very close to Xiao Qiao Zhengfei in Zhang Ran's heart.

After Qin Junjie finished singing, Zhang Ran picked up a page of the script and handed it to Qin Junjie, saying, "Please read it according to this line, and you must bring feelings. Don't worry about anything else, just read it whatever you think!"

This kind of trial reading process is called cold reading in Hollywood, but for amateur actors and newcomers, cold reading is absolutely not allowed to use the clips to be shot in the movie. Because these actors have little experience, they will make up for the script clips you provide and conceive randomly in their minds. The image conceived is often very different from the script, and it will be difficult to modify when they get the complete script.

Qin Junjie acted very seriously, took the script and read it vividly.

Zhang Ran and Ning Hao looked at each other, their faces full of smiles. This child is really good!

At 10 o'clock, the second parent brought his children to Tiangong Chongcai. She was a little girl, and she was soon taken to the audition room by the staff.

The little girl looked at Zhang Ran, then Zhao Fei and Ning Hao, and said timidly: "Hello Uncle!"

Zhang Ran felt that the little girl was very nervous, so he chatted with him, asked her questions about her hobbies, TV series, etc., and then said softly: "Now introduce yourself and tell me what your name is, how old you are, and where did you come from!"

The little girl said "Oh" and said timidly: "My name is Zheng Xiaoshuang, I am twelve years old this year, from Chenyang, Liaoning."

Zhang Ran frowned slightly. Shuang girl looks pretty cute and has developed well in the future. Why is she timid now? This state is far from Liu Jiao, but he still said, "Xiao Shuang, can you dance? If you know, let's dance one!"

Zheng Xiaoshuang said "um" and started dancing. The Indian dance she danced was very energetic and passionate.

Zhang Ran's eyes lit up. If she could be in such a dynamic state when acting, she would be a very suitable candidate.

In two days, "The Aviator" completed the first round of auditions, and three boys and girls were eliminated, including boys and boys, Yang Yang, Qin Junjie, girl Zheng Xiaoshuang and Guo Xiaoting. (To be continued.)
