The whole entertainment circle thinks I'm confused

Chapter 699

The casting of "The Hunger Games·1" movie has long been over.

Except for Xia Yu and Daniel, the rest of the staff are all actors from Mingdeli Films, and the casting was finalized by Xia Yu and the others.

There must be image requirements, but it is not the first. The first must be acting skills.

The "Hunger Games Series" and the "Twilight Series" are positioned differently.

One is a romance, one is a drama thriller, or is an adventure more appropriate?
When casting a romantic film, the most important thing is to be an actor who fits the personality and has a good appearance, followed by acting skills!

After all, acting skills can be adjusted and improved, but appearance is difficult.

As for feature films, the appearance requirements are not so strict, and the strict requirements have become acting skills.

Xia Yu did not completely follow the original work, nor did she follow the casting of the L-rated film world for the male protagonist Peter Mellak.

Xia Yu has long had a standard for choosing a male lead in a movie. It doesn't have to be a handsome man and a beautiful woman, but it must conform to the global aesthetics.

Maybe it's because of the surprise of oriental aesthetics, the male lead actor in the L-level cultural world may be extremely attractive in the eyes of Westerners, but Xia Yu doesn't think so, and can only admit that his acting skills are indeed professional.

So when it came to casting, Xia Yu first focused on his acting skills, and then on his image, he chose an actor with good facial features but a slightly weak temperament—of course, it’s just about temperament, he actually has a good figure and can fight well, Belonging to the type of real people who don't show their faces...

The appearance has also been double-approved by Ashley and Zhuang Ling-it is suitable for everything.

The actor who plays the lead male is named Edric, a young actor of the new generation.

As for the production team, with the running-in of "Twilight Series" in the past two years-Ashley can be said to be driven like an arm.

That is to say, the actors who are new to the group need to re-run, and Ashley has enough experience.

Wai read a large conference room specially arranged in the building of Mindley Films, which can accommodate 200 people for meetings.

On the first day of reading, Ashley let go of her harsh words when she came up, her eyes were sharp, and she said:
"I think you've all heard my name? In fact, I'm not an overly strict person. My strictness is only aimed at those actors who don't perform seriously, don't really think about the role, and waste the crew's time!"

The rest is commonplace, about schedule arrangements, shooting plans...

The popularity of "The Werewolf's Secret" has faded, and Ashley's reputation has become smaller and smaller in the past two years.

"Twilight Series" is currently very popular, but the original novels are popular, and Xia Yu and Antonio who are gradually getting out of the circle...

On the contrary, Ashley, who is a director, has always "hidden merit and fame".

But the actors of Mindley Films all "respect" Ashley very much. They all got absolute affirmation from the returning actors and staff - Ashley is an actor worthy of awe.

As a result, her reputation as a studio tyrant has become more and more solid.

When Ashley spoke.

Not only the original crew members, but also the dozens of new actors are quite solemn...

As for Xia Yu.

With the original crew of "Twilight Series" and the word of mouth of the actors of Mingdeli Films, the most important thing is Amanda's attitude, and Xia Yu's strength during the casting process, let them all know ——Xia Yu is not just an actor, but also an important member of the Bankrupt Sisters. One word can decide whether they will stay or not!

In the face of a production team member, the new actors, even if they have dissatisfaction, contempt, etc., they basically take it to the bottom of their hearts, and no idiot will show it to the surface...

This also made the reading of "The Hunger Games 1" extremely smooth. The professional team and professional actors achieved the effect of 1+1>2. The original plan was to read in 30 days, but it took 26 days in the end. It was expected to be four days ahead of schedule.

The reading of "The Hunger Games·1" officially started on November 26st and ended successfully on November 27th.No breaks, since it's done ahead of time, shoot ahead of time. On the [-]th, the whole crew flew to North Carolina to prepare for filming.

Compared with the reading of "The Hunger Games 1", the reading of "The War of Succession 1" is much faster.

Shooting Succession 1 was different than shooting The Hunger Games—mainly because of the way James and Ashley shot it.

The filming of beautiful dramas has always adopted the situation of filming one episode and broadcasting one episode, so it is basically a round-reading one. The reading has been completed and the filming stage is underway.

James and Antonio will regularly summarize the shooting task report and send it to Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling's mailboxes - summarizing the daily and weekly shooting progress of "Succession 1", actors' status and other issues.

The actors of Mingli Film and Television basically respect James very much-the big guy is over there, if an actor is really sick, come up and give you a large sum of money, you just think about whether you are afraid.

"Battle of Inheritance·1" started filming smoothly, so that Xia Yu has no worries about the future.

Even looking at the work report every day, it's just a blink of an eye-something is really going to happen, and Zhuang Ling is carrying it in Los Angeles, isn't it?

The entire team for shooting "Twilight Series" stayed in Oregon, Washington State, and the border of Maple Leaf Country for nearly two years. The winter in December was cold and wet and rainy. Xia Yu was fine with the climate here, but most of the team , I really can’t say I particularly like it.

In contrast, North Carolina is located in the southeast of the beautiful country, with an average annual temperature of [-] degrees Celsius in the east, [-] degrees Celsius in the middle, and [-] degrees Celsius in the mountains. It has four distinct seasons and can be said to be one of the most livable states in the beautiful country. one.

It’s just that the trend of modernization is a little bit smaller. In other words, because 50.00% of the population here is rural—it’s livable, but not suitable for work and development, but it’s extremely good to come here occasionally for a vacation or business trip. choose.

The crew of "The Hunger Games" led by the bankrupt sisters landed on the 27th.

After adjusting the time of the day, it started up smoothly and quietly on the 28th.

There is still no start-up ceremony that is hyped up and pursues popularity-the filming of this movie series, as another masterpiece to undertake the popularity of the "Twilight Series", pursues low-key and smooth.

In order to shoot in a low-key manner, at the beginning, I didn't even tell any actors or staff where the filming took place.

The purpose is to avoid the harassment of the paparazzi who work in the major media in the beautiful country.

You know, the media reporters here are much crazier than domestic ones.

Known as all-pervasive.

With the popularity of "Twilight Series" ahead, if the news breaks out, it will inevitably cause a series of accidents - and both Ashley and Xia Yu don't like accidents very much.Xia Yu knows that it is impossible to shoot "The Hunger Games·1" in complete secrecy, especially when "Twilight·1" is released, but if you can keep a low profile for an extra month or two, even if you have an extra month or two of free time, what's wrong with it? What about?
But I didn't expect that what I was afraid of would happen, and there was an accident.
