Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad

Chapter 5: Casting for”Love Letter”

Time continued to pass, Lu Yan looked serious, and he was completely immersed in the story told in”Love Letter”

This story tells the story of the heroine Hiroko, who was unable to suppress her longing for her late ex-fiancé Ashu, so she followed the address in the classmate directory and sent a love letter that she thought was sent to heaven, but unexpectedly received a reply.

After closing the last page of the script, Lu Yan was so shocked that it was hard to describe. He didn’t know how to describe it at all.

“Lin Qiu, is this an original script?”

“Um”

The moment Lin Qiu nodded, the faint dissatisfaction and sadness in Lu Yan’s heart instantly disappeared.

This is Lin Qiu’s talent. No wonder Lin Qiu’s parents would invest the entire company in betting on this low-budget pure love movie!

“Lao Lin, I understand what you mean.”

“No problem, let’s set up the project”

Lu Yan took a deep breath and without too much communication, he knew why Lao Lin wanted him to be the assistant director!

Even though Lin Qiu is talented, he has never directed a formal movie and is definitely lacking in studio experience. Although Lu Yan is not a great director, he has directed several formal movies and can help Lin Qiu.

Coupled with the boss’s request, it is impossible to refuse

With Lin Qiu’s talent as a screenwriter, he will definitely be the real prince of Chang’an Film and Television Company in the future. Lu Yan will not be offended either emotionally or rationally.

Chang’an Film and Television Company is not large in scale, but it is much cleaner than other film and television companies in the group. Lu Yan is very content to have a stable director job.

“I’m sorry to bother you, Lao Lu, but the director’s remuneration will still be based on the chief director’s salary.”

Lu Yan himself is a third- and fourth-tier director.

The salary is not expensive, and Lin Yuanping is afraid that Lao Lu will have a grudge, so he will not give less than he should.

“Thanks, when will the movie start shooting?”

“Next month, it is expected to be released on May 1st”

“So fast?”

Lu Yan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully,

This movie may involve most of Chang’an Film and Television Company’s net worth. The sooner there is a result, the better.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it will give the company time to respond.

The process of the world’s film industry is very fast. From project establishment and shooting to editing and release, if the overall speed is fast, it can be completed in 4 to 6 months, which may take half a year to a year, unless it is a large-scale film.

In addition, we probably already have the storyboard for the movie, so it’s natural and quick.

Lin Qiu doesn’t have many classes left this semester, so using the winter vacation to shoot won’t even affect the second half of his junior year next spring.

“Lin Qiu, let’s talk about the script and casting.”

“good”

Lin Qiu knew that today’s Uncle Lu might look down upon him in terms of filming.

But even though she has a certain amount of shooting experience, Lin Qiu is not in a hurry to prove herself. Everything will naturally disappear when she gets to the set.

The most important thing about a movie is the filming, script and actors. If any aspect is not done well, the watchability of the movie will plummet.

Again, in the film industry, the script is the lower limit and the director is the upper limit.

As for film actors, they can generally be controlled by the director, except for actors who are popular and those who are forced by the employer.

Under the premise of non-capital intervention, the director is responsible for the shooting and aesthetics of the entire film. If the actors’ acting skills are not up to standard, why should they nod at the director’s audition, and why should they shout during the filming?

“Are the actors in this movie going to be far away from reality?”

Lin Qiu nodded and said: loadAdv(7,3);

“Well, in pure love movies, one face can set the tone of the entire movie. The audience of this movie still tends to be younger.”

“Actors who purely love movies may be more important than movie skills”

This movie is not meant to be a sensational tear-jerker, nor is it meant to be high-pitched, but the entire movie is centered around a light melancholy atmosphere, elegant and beautiful.

In the past life, more than one director said this truth

Time flew by. During the three hours of exchanges with Lin Qiu about the script and actors, Lu Yan was extremely shocked. He even felt that he had learned something from Lin Qiu.

“You may really be the only one in the entire company who can make this movie”

Lu Yan shook his head and sighed.

As far as the director’s temperament is concerned, it is difficult for a director who lacks boyishness, girlishness and delicate emotions to make a good pure love movie.

This is also the reason why, no matter in the past or present, there are few directors who can consistently make such films well.

Lu Yan obviously has never been exposed to this kind of film. Even if he is asked to direct, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results.

“Uncle Lu, do you know the company? Are there suitable actors in the company for these roles?”

If there are suitable actors in your own company, you will definitely give priority to actors from your own company, saving a certain amount of actors’ salary costs, and you can also praise your own actors.

Lu Yan curled his lips, shook his head and said:

“It’s not a problem for other roles. The interpretation is not too difficult. We can let all the suitable actors in the company come to audition.”

“But the heroine…tsk……”

“I definitely don’t have the type of temperament you want. If you play two roles, the requirements for acting skills are also high. I’m afraid you will have to audition publicly.”

The casting of a movie does not have to be done by just one person. The same role played by actors with different temperaments will have different effects.

Just like the classic DC character Joker in his previous life, Heath Ledger, Monaghan, and Phoenix all have their own styles. During the audition, choose the best.

The actors at Chang’an Film and Television Company are mainly middle-aged actors, and there are also young actors, but there are no actors who match the temperament of the heroine.

“Okay, then as soon as possible”

……

《”Legend of Sword and Fairy” has caused quite a stir on the Xianque Chinese website recently.

The beginning of the turmoil came from the appearance of the heroine Zhao Ling’er

“Woo woo woo… Zhao Ling’er is so cute!”

“Wow! Is there such an innocent heroine? I really love her.”

“The description of the male and female protagonists in this book is really awesome, and the plots are so intertwined that I, a bookworm who has been reading online for more than eight years, often cannot guess the development of the plot.”

There is a boiling scene in the book review section of Fairy Sword

Sun Zheng murmured while scrolling through the comment section:

“Is it that exaggerated?”

“No. 1 on the new book list. Logically speaking, there should be something to it.”

Sun Zheng is a standard rich second generation, his family owns a mine, and he is also a senior lover of online literature. He is not too interested in physical book literature with more serious themes.

When browsing novel forums, I often see the title of the novel”The Legend of Sword and Fairy”. Today I went to Xianque to look for books, and I immediately saw the title of”The Legend of Sword and Fairy”, which is number one on the new book list.》

With the mentality of trying the poison, Sun Zheng opened”Sword of Immortals” and read it with gusto.
