Chapter 115 The Live-Action Casting

Chapter 115 Casting for the Live-Action Version (Please Subscribe)

Success doesn't happen overnight!

Whether it's animation, comics, or popular live-action dramas, most of them go from "small fire" to "big fire", and eventually become popular all over the country and even the world.

"Sailor Moon" is no exception.

Don't look at the fact that animation is very popular in Neon now. After being introduced to China, Europe and the United States, it also created a high ratings, and it can definitely be called a popular masterpiece.

But let's be honest...

In Gu Miao's view, the popularity and popularity of "Sailor Moon" is far from reaching its peak, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

"really?"

Ikeda, who returned to Jiangchuan, was surprised: "The highest ratings have already broken 10%. This is not considered the peak, so what is the peak?"

"Highest ratings?"

Gu Miao smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said that the highest ratings were close to 20% and the average ratings were over 10%?"

"Do not believe!"

Ikeda shook his head.

It's just a girl-themed animation, and the highest ratings breaking 10% is already very good.The average ratings are over 10%, do you take those housewife dramas as decorations?

"Don't believe it."

Gu Miao didn't bother to explain to him what the influence of "Super Popular Animation Breaking Circles" is.Anyway, in the face of the facts, TBS and Ikeda have to believe it or not.

Ikeda returned to Jiangchuan not to argue with Gu Miao about the final ratings of the anime "Sailor Moon".

He is here to "supervise the work"!

The live-action drama "Sailor Moon" co-produced by Neon TBS and Wanbao Animation will hold a launching ceremony in Jiangchuan.

TBS is also out of staff.

Of course, they had to send someone over to watch over the crew, lest Wanbao mess around and cause them to take the blame in the end.

Of course, a supervisor is a supervisor!
Gu Miao was not afraid of the slanting shadow, and he didn't do any tricks, so he was naturally not afraid of the supervisor sent by TBS.

Besides, Ikeda is still a good brother.

Gu Miao didn't have any objection to this, the only director who had an opinion was Du Hao, who just felt that Ikeda didn't know how to film and might hold him back.

Speaking of Du Hao...

Gu Miao was also speechless.

This hanging man really understands filming, especially special dramas.But in the selection of actors, it is true that there is a big problem with aesthetics.

Some time ago, Gu Miao was very busy.

Because the production of "Dragon Fighter" involved too much energy, he didn't pay much attention to the casting of the live-action version of "Sailor Moon".

As a result, after the primary list was released, Gu Miao looked at the photos of the group of young actors who were "crooked melons and cracked dates", and she became numb.

What is this?
Du Hao was indeed very obedient. According to his requirements, the young actors he found were all pretty. It would not be too much to say "beautiful girls".

But the figure is too embarrassing!
It doesn't matter if there are a few "thick legs and round waists", and there are a few "Yordles", is this intended to join the bond of Liuyue and hold back a three-star Xiaofa?

"You can get out of here quickly."

The more she thought about it, the more angry Gu Miao, ignoring the ongoing production of "Dragon Fighter", spent two days auditioning hundreds of actors, directly replacing Du Hao's original list.

"Is this Nima junior high school student?"

Looking at the list given by Mr. Gu, all of them have long legs, Du Hao couldn't help complaining: "A junior high school student can have such a model figure, I'll eat this camera on the spot!"

"Don't worry about whether you look like a junior high school student, let me ask you a question, do you think body is important to Sailor Moon?"

"It must be important!"

Du Hao said without hesitation: "But your long legs are a bit abstract. I think junior high school students are not so well developed..."

"Then high school students!"

Gu Miao waved her hand and said, "Young and beautiful, with a good figure, do you care if she is a junior high school student or a high school student? As long as she is not a college student, I think she is fine!"

Du Hao was speechless.

Although he felt that the figures of the actors selected by Mr. Gu did not fit the setting of junior high school students.But I have to admit that the figures of this group of young actors really restore the images of animation and comics.

Of course, the age does not match!
There is no way...

If it is true to follow the setting and find young actors around the age of 14, then the entire film and television industry will not be able to find a few who meet the standards.

Looking for an amateur with no acting skills?
That's even more nonsense, acting is not just playing tricks.If you find an amateur to play such an important role, what if the performance fails?
So pick and choose.

The average age of the final selected young actors is over 14 years old.The actor who plays "Sailor Mars" is the oldest at 18 years old, and the rest are around 16 or 17 years old.

"pretty good."

Regarding age, Gu Miao's requirements are not very strict.As long as you're under 20, it doesn't matter much.

The key is acting!

So what if he looks like a fish and a wild goose?Poor acting, if you can't play the "spirituality" of each sailor soldier, it's also purely useless.

Fortunately, these actors are all child stars.

Since I was a child, I have participated in the filming of various film and television dramas, and I have also received professional training. My acting skills and "camera sense" are very good, so I don't have to worry about it at all.

Not to say that every child star has great acting skills.Compared with their age, acting in a play when they were young is definitely a plus.

There are actors.

The rest depends on how Du Hao shoots, because of "Dragon Fighter" and "Sailor Moon", it is impossible for Gu Miao to keep an eye on the crew all the time.

He could only make a suggestion.

For example, special effects...

The live-action version of "Sailor Moon" is a special shooting drama, and special effects and stunt shots are definitely indispensable.There are professional action guides sent by TBS for stunts, but Gu Miao doesn't care much.

But he was very worried about the special effects.

"Saving money is a must, because our company really doesn't have much money, and it's impossible to spend a lot of money on special effects for you."

Gu Miao exhorted: "But saving money doesn't mean you have to use that [-] cents low-quality light pollution special effects for the whole process, do you understand?"

"I know!"

Du Hao blinked and said: "Spend the money wisely, some more important shots, so spend more money?"

That's right!

That's the truth.

Due to the limited budget, it is impossible to achieve perfection in every shot, and trade-offs must be made.

For some unimportant shots, the special effects are almost as good as they are.

At critical moments, shots that can stimulate the audience, such as transforming... then you can spend more money and do it better.

Du Hao is not too stupid.

With Gu Miao's reminder, he quickly mastered the correct use of "special effects".

But he still has a question.

"Transformation doesn't matter, after all, a scene can be used repeatedly. But what about the special effects of fighting? It can't be based on hand-to-hand combat, right?"

"Is there a problem with hand-to-hand combat?"

Gu Miao glanced at him strangely, as if she was curious why Du Hao would ask such a mentally retarded question.

Isn't fighting just melee?

It's not melee, is it still standing still, turning into a magic machine gun and constantly throwing skills?
Dear!
This is not the fighting style of "Sailor Moon"!
My sailor warriors, I don’t like to use AP equipment, but I like to use pure AD equipment to attack people with basic attacks...

 The epidemic is repeated again and again, everyone pay more attention!
