Chapter 5 Choosing an Actress
Wearing a balaclava, she went to the lottery center, cashed out the money, and went to the bank to put it in her card. For a moment, Guan Ling wanted to lie down.
Do you want to film a sex scene?
Wouldn’t it be better to buy two courtyard houses and buy some stocks?
But thinking that in the future there will be only eating, drinking and having fun, and there will be fewer and fewer interactions with female celebrities, Guan Ling suddenly becomes energetic.
He spared no effort in promoting the rise of China Entertainment. He also spared no effort in serving female celebrities.
In the office, head teacher Wang Jinsong finished reading the script sent by Guan Ling.
This Wang Jinsong is not the Wang Jinsong who played Xun Yu, but the deputy dean of the Acting School of Nortel. At this time, he was also the class teacher of the 2002 undergraduate acting department, and was Huang Lei's classmate.
It’s the one who takes off a beauty’s top, takes off her thong, pulls out a rubber band, and uses a slingshot to hit the glass of your house.
“Your script is pretty good. It’s a bit like Rashomon, but it’s different. Teacher Tian should be interested in it.”
If Guan Ling wants to find Tian Zhuangzhuang to supervise, he must say hello to his teacher. He can't go to the directing department teacher first without knowing about it.
With the full support of the head teacher, Guan Ling felt confident.
“If Mr. Tian is the producer, let’s see if we can ask him to get some investment from China Film Group.” Wang Jinsong suggested.
"Teacher, don't worry about funds." Guan Ling has more than 10 million, and his confidence is as strong as Kiel's.
"When the time comes, actors should take care of their classmates and don't always look for the ones next door." Wang Jinsong saw that this kid was quite confident, so he didn't say much and joked.
"Of course. I have already thought of the protagonist, Lao Li, and the others can be chosen in school. Teacher, are you interested in acting? How about You Dacheng?"
< br>Guan Ling pressed his nose to his face.
“Get out of here and let your teacher put it in his pants pocket?” Wang Jinsong laughed and cursed. In the scene, You Dacheng was so thin that his pants were down.
Guan Ling ran away quickly, feeling a pity. With the image of Teacher Wang, the image played by You Dacheng is somewhat similar.
I went to find Tian Zhuangzhuang again. Wang Jinsong had already said hello, so Tian Zhuangzhuang was not surprised.
"Teacher Tian."
"Come in."
Guan Ling entered the room, handed over the script, and sat in front of the chair without speaking.
"Young man, you are very ambitious. Our young men in the directing department don't dare to rush in. Previously, Xiao Ning from the photography department had to make three movies before he dared to try commercial films. You, from the acting department, want to get started immediately." Tian Zhuangzhuang's tone was calm.
“I suddenly had an idea for a script, and I couldn’t wait to get started.” Guan Ling rubbed his hands and smiled.
Tian Zhuangzhuang began to read the script, reading it carefully from beginning to end. At the end, Tian Zhuangzhuang praised, "The script is really good. It is rare in China. There are not many loopholes in the logic, and the performance techniques are not advanced. , but the price/performance ratio is very high.”
The script is not complicated. It is a series of people including the thief Lao Li, the former criminal policeman Yan Zheng, the two parties to the human trafficker transaction, Mr. Zhang, You Dacheng, and You Dacheng’s mistress and her pretty boy. A mismatched story caused by an unexpected encounter in the same room.
But because of the time difference, it will give the audience a sense of suspense.
If you can’t see the end, you can’t guess the ending at all. After each scene, there will be a twist that makes the audience nervous.
Single scene, multi-line narrative, shooting will be more economical, but it will test the director's skills very much.
Tian Zhuangzhuang also admitted that this script is very creative, with different narrative storylines interspersed with each other, and the final twist is also creative enough, which can be regarded as a sublimation.
Good deeds and evil deeds are rewarded.
"The ending of your script is very blunt. Was it added on purpose? To pass the review?" Tian Zhuangzhuang could tell at a glance that the last scene was a bit redundant.
"Teacher Tian's eyes are as bright as a torch." Guan Ling did not deny it.
"If you haven't studied directing, the effect of the film may be greatly reduced." Tian Zhuangzhuang said straightforwardly, "Producer is fine, but the effect is not good, and it will be my shame."
Dou The original works of Breaking the Sky and Dou Qi Transforming into Horses are both novels.
"I'm just waiting for your words, teacher." Guan Ling took out the storyboards he drew from his backpack, "I didn't draw them all, I drew some key scenes. From here, you can It can be seen that the scenes of this movie have been imprinted in my mind for a long time."
Hearing this, Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at Guan Ling and saw that the storyboard was indeed very high-quality, and he couldn't help but praise Guan Ling's work. Be confident.
"Okay, Xiaoguan, since you are so confident, then I will supervise the production for you." They are all from his own school, even if they are not students of his own major, Tian Zhuangzhuang does not hesitate to look at the beauty of adulthood,
"I will help you coordinate photography and equipment. But there is one thing. China Film Production should have no problem with the production and distribution of the movie I produce, but I can't guarantee investment. Your type of movie has never been seen in the domestic film market. . Nowadays, commercial films are all about big investment, big construction, and all they want are big stars." Guan Ling is grateful.
"Teacher, I need to see if you can help contact this male protagonist."
"Who?"
"Fan Wei."
< br>Everyone else can be replaced, but Fan Wei doesn't want to change roles. He has such serious yet funny, exaggerated yet precise acting skills. It's really hard to say how effective it would be to find someone else.
"You have found the right person. I met him at the Directors Association meeting earlier this year. I will contact you."
At this time, Fan Wei already had a problem with Uncle Benshan. He switched to director Feng Pants and is now in the BJ Coal Mine Art Troupe. Although both Cell Phone and A World Without Thieves have outstanding roles, in terms of the film industry, they are still essentially little Karami.
Tian Zhuangzhuang called Guan Ling in front of him. He heard that Tian Zhuangzhuang was the producer and that he was the male protagonist. He decided to read the script and it was finalized.
I also found a teacher who made a budget and roughly calculated it. The cost was not low, it was still 2.5 million.
Guan Ling left a phone number with teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Tian Zhuangzhuang accompanied him to China Film Academy the next day, where he received Mr. Han.
Tian Zhuangzhuang still gave him face. After reading the script, China Film expressed its intention to invest, but the investment would not be too much.
This movie was made by a student, and Mr. Han was also afraid of losing money.
Furthermore, logically speaking, Han Sanye doesn’t think it can make too much money from a small-budget movie like this. 800,000 shouldn't be a huge loss. It is considered a good seller and encourages young people.
Guan Ling has nothing to lose. He is not afraid that China Film Group will not invest. But if the other party invests, at least Guan Ling will have less to worry about when it comes to publicity.
In the end, a total investment of 2.8 million was negotiated. Guan Ling invested 2 million to establish the company, and China Film invested 800,000. Guan Ling did not ask for the director's remuneration, which was folded into the total investment, and finally added In terms of publicity share, the condition that China Film’s share accounted for 35% was reached.
Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang helped to form a crew structure.
I went to find Teacher Wang again to choose actors.
Yan Zheng settled on Zhang Songwen. He is now a teacher in the acting department at Nortel. Due to image problems, he has been unable to find filming. Guan Ling's invitation moved him deeply.
Zhang Songwen is indeed young now, but he can't bear to grow old. A little makeup is no different from the scene in Guan Ling's memory.
The three male leads have been decided, and on the recommendation of Zhang Songwen, the role of Zhang Yaozhong was given to Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei is not doing very well now. He took a role last year, but it didn't become popular. This year, he has no filming.
Although he is a bit younger, his acting style is wider than Zhu Yawen's, and you can't tell by pretending to be older.
Don’t mention it, Zhou Wei had a slicked back hair, put on makeup for his age, and had a bad look on his face, which was indeed a bit scary.
Zhu Yawen definitely cannot act in this state.
Xia Mao has decided to cast Zhu Yawen, and the role of Fei Shui has a little screen time. Because Luo Jin borrowed money, Guan Ling wanted to take him on. When they contacted Luo Jin, he was shocked and his eyes widened. , hurriedly agreed.
You Dacheng still chose Liang Chao. He was in the drama and is now in BJ Drama Club.
Finally the heroine is left.
It was difficult to choose the heroine because the conditions given by Guan Ling made it difficult for Mr. Wang to find someone.
Be charming and eye-catching.
The words are quite tactful, but everyone can understand the meaning behind the words.
To put it simply, it is a little bit 456. Music notation, fasaola.
At least the acting skills show this.
It’s quite obvious in the script that there are makeup scenes, kissing scenes, and also sex and seduction. Although there are no specific details, the body movements must be done.
Wang Jinsong even felt that if he hadn't been stuck in the review, Guan Ling would have given him an extra bed and drama.
This role is difficult to choose.
