Rebirth, I really don't want to be a warm man

Chapter 207 Persuasion and Shooting

The last female lead, the role of the goddess in the play, Li Zhe originally wanted Sun Wanning to play, she is the most beautiful, and her clean and fresh temperament fits the role very well.

But she was not interested in acting and didn't want to act.

Sun Wanning didn't want to act, and Li Zhe also considered other candidates, but they all felt that they were not qualified.

Xiao Qiao could act, but Li Zhe didn't want her to act.

He would not do such a stupid thing as training his girlfriend to act and send it to the entertainment industry.

After thinking about it, Li Zhe decided to talk to Sun Wanning again to see if he could convince her.

However, he didn't talk to Sun Wanning alone, but asked Sun Wanning, Huo Mengyan and Luan Xiaolin to sit down and talk at a quiet place on the first floor of Mingyue Restaurant.

"Senior sister, have you thought about what to do after graduation?" Li Zhe said this to Sun Wanning, who is his senior sister who is a sophomore this year.

"Maybe I will become a flight attendant, after all I have studied this major." Sun Wanning thought for a while and said.

"Then do you think your personality is suitable for the service industry?" Sun Wanning was upright. At first, Li Zhe suspected that she was faking it, but after a few contacts, she found that it was not true. She treated everyone the same.

"If you can't be a flight attendant, you can do other things."

Sun Wanning paused and said, "Li Zhe, just say what you want to say without beating around the bush."

Li Zhe smiled and said, "I think you are quite suitable to be an actor, you can think about it."

This is not his opinion, but what Xing Baiqing said. He was full of praise for Sun Wanning's appearance, saying that she was born to be an actress.

"I'm not interested in acting, and I've never thought about being an actor. Besides, the entertainment industry isn't very messy." Sun Wanning shook her head
"Being an actor is the same as being a flight attendant. It's just a job. Whether you like it or not is not that important."

As Li Zhe said, he glanced at Sun Wanning, then at Huo Mengyan and Luan Xiaolin, "To tell you the truth, it's very difficult for students in ordinary colleges like us to find a good job after graduation if our families don't have anything to do with each other. You all have good appearance, being an actor is a good way, and you just have a chance."

"I will soon set up a small entertainment company and invest in some online dramas and low-cost movies. If you really want to go this way in the future, you can sign with my company to be a small actor. The income is much richer than going to work. If there are no messy things, I will definitely not let you go to drink with me."

"Of course, it's still too early to say these things. I just want to say, now that you have this opportunity, you can try it. What you will do in the future is anyone's guess."

When Li Zhe invests in the film and television industry in the future, he will definitely sign some actors, and he can't always use actors from other companies to praise others.

After Sun Wanning listened, she looked indifferent, but it was Luan Xiaolin who was next to her, her eyes flickered, obviously listening.

Seeing this, Li Zhe nodded to Sun Wanning, "Okay, senior sister, if you really have no idea, then forget it."

He thinks that Sun Wanning is very suitable for the role in the play, but she doesn't have to, since she really doesn't want to, then lower the standard and choose another one.

Sun Wanning suddenly chuckled, "Li Zhe, you tell me so much, don't you just want me to take this role? Okay, I agree!"

She paused and said, "But just this once."

When Li Zhe heard it, he immediately understood that his rhetoric did not impress Sun Wanning at all.

But why should she say yes?
After Sun Wanning agreed, the starring candidates were all confirmed, and the online drama "What's About Online Dating" officially started filming.

The equipment of the crew is extremely simple.

The official personnel are only the director Xing Baiqing, and two employees Li Zhe brought in from the company, and the rest are part-time students.

The shooting equipment is only a high-definition digital camera, a windproof directional microphone with a handheld pole, a photography light, two reflectors, and a small van for shooting.

The 28th is Friday, and there are classes in the morning, so the crew started filming in the afternoon.

In the first scene of the filming, the dormitory scene was filmed. Li Zhe, Yang Hao and Cheng Xiang were playing "Dongtantang" in the dormitory.

The shooting location was chosen in Li Zhe's 406 dormitory.

In the dormitory, apart from the director Xing Baiqing, two employees of the company, and the three actors Li Zhe, Yang Hao, and Cheng Xiang, Xiao Qiao, Bai Wei, Liu Kaiyue, Zhang You, and He Zhigang were also part-time crew members.

In addition, it was discovered that Li Zhe and the others were filming, many students came to watch, and the gate was full of people.

Simply tidy up and arrange the dormitory, set up the camera and prepare to shoot.

No costumes, makeup, props staff.

The costumes can only be provided by the actors themselves, and the girls Liu Kaiyue, Bai Wei, and Zhang You can help with makeup. Everything is so simple that it cannot be more simple.

With a patchwork crew, no professional filming staff, and the actors are all students without any acting experience, the difficulty of filming is much more difficult than expected.

After rehearsing four or five times before shooting, everyone is familiar with the shooting process and has a little bit of state.

Director Xing Baiqing announced the start of filming.

The first scene was filmed. Li Zhe, Yang Hao, and Cheng Xiang were playing "Dangtantang" in the dormitory. Yang Hao and Cheng Xiang had a bet and asked out the female netizen in the game to show up.

Cheng Xiang, who is not very confident about his appearance, asks Li Zhe to help him meet female netizens.

The scene is very simple and has been rehearsed repeatedly, but when it was actually filmed, things went wrong one after another, and it took three shoots to pass.

Next, the crew moved to the outdoors to film the scene where Sun Wanning appeared.

……

On the first day of shooting, the filming continued until after 8:[-] p.m., when the whole crew had initially entered the state, and the shooting was a little faster.

Then, on Saturday and Sunday, we shot for two consecutive days, and finally finished filming the ten-minute scene of the first episode of "Photo Deception".

As a very low-cost short film web drama, the actors are also amateurs. Li Zhe and Xing Baiqing also set very low performance requirements, as long as the actors' performances are reasonable.

So the shooting progress is pretty fast.

Li Zhe calculated the cost. For one day of filming for the leading role, it would cost 30-60 yuan depending on the number of scenes, 10-20 yuan for small supporting roles, and free guest appearances for passer-by characters.

The camera subsidy is a bit low, but it’s not particularly low. After all, it’s only 30-40 yuan for a day as a group performer. Besides, for many students, being able to be on camera is very satisfying, let alone have money to get .

In addition, Liu Kaiyue, Zhang You, and He Zhigang, who helped out on the set, also received a subsidy of 30 yuan per day.

Including food and other miscellaneous expenses, the cost of filming in two and a half days was about 2500 yuan.

Calculated according to this standard, a total of 20 yuan is needed to shoot 5 episodes.

Of course, the filming of the first episode was relatively slow and cost more, but the filming of the meeting was done faster, which will save some money.

5 yuan plus the director's remuneration and equipment investment, the total cost should be around 9 yuan.

The Sony HXR-NX5C high-definition camera alone cost [-] yuan. This camera is quite professional and can be used to shoot some professional short films.

As for the minivan filming car, it is a company car, so it is not included in the filming cost.
