I just want to make idol dramas

Chapter 79 "Project Source" Startup

"Costume drama?"

Xin Wan'er couldn't control her exclamation.

"It's not only a costume drama, but also a fantasy drama. Please read the script first. If you think it's not suitable, I can change it for you."

Hearing her exclamation, Xiao Yu thought she didn't want to act, and if she didn't want to, he didn't force it, anyway, he could change one more script.

What Xin Wan'er thought was, "This is Xingguang's first costume drama, and it will definitely be taken very seriously."

In fact, she was simply overthinking, Xiao Yu chose this drama only because he felt that Xin Wan'er had a cunning temperament, and her acting had aura, so she could act out Wang Wu's cheap and unrestricted feeling.

Gu Wei can also adapt to the style of this kind of sand sculpture drama if he cooperates with her.

There is no reason for wanting to make this show (purely what the writer wanted to do).

"I have no problem, Mr. Xiao."

"I'm fine."

The new drama is decided like this. This drama is not very difficult, as long as you grasp the style of the overall comic change, he still handed over the director to Liu Yuan. After the experience of the trilogy, Liu Yuan is already the most experienced in Starlight. directed.

After the selection of the new play, his attention returned to the movie. "Project Yuan" has been full of twists and turns since the beginning of preparation.

The first is the most critical scene selection. Zheng Jigang does not want to use special effects and hopes to be able to shoot in real scenes. Xingguang can only contact the Huaguo Railway Department.

The railway department is willing to cooperate, but Huaguo does not have double-decker high-speed rail like in the original film, and it is impossible for the railway department to specially build this kind of train for a movie.

We had no choice but to use inter-city EMUs, so the shooting method would have to be changed.

And the lines that have been put into operation must not be used for shooting, only those that are still under debugging after construction.

Huaguo's high-speed railways have already spread all over the country, and the eligible lines are basically located in remote mountainous areas or counties with inconvenient transportation.

The crew traveled many places before finding a suitable filming location in a certain county in the western region. The whole shooting environment is very ideal, but in the later stage, the distant scene needs to be made into the feeling of the suburbs of the city.

However, in this way, the entire production crew moved from the originally planned magic city to the western county, and the conditions were much more difficult.

Then it is about the choice of actors. The setting of the main character in the film who is in his 30s is obviously not suitable for Jin-Woo. From the very beginning, Xiao-Woo didn't plan to act by himself.

Zheng Jigang began to want to find Yu Jian, the new actor of the Berlin Film Festival, but he had already received several films before and had no schedule.

Yu Hui's No. 1 choice was Hu Yannian, a talented actor from Tianhai Films. He was also very interested in this movie, but unfortunately, he was accidentally injured while attending an event before the filming started, and the actor was nowhere to be found.

In the end, Tian Zhiyuan introduced his friend Liu Yan to Xiao Yu. He used to be the winner of the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Actor, but most of his performances were in literary films and he was not well known to the audience.

Since Tian Zhiyuan introduced him, Xiao Yu also recommended him to Zheng Jigang.

Unexpectedly, Director Zheng was very satisfied after trying the mirror once, so he decided on the leading actor. Although he was slightly older in age, there was no problem with his image.

This kind of situation not only appeared in casting, but also abounded throughout the preparation period.

Due to the inconvenient transportation of the filming location, many equipment could not be in place, the scene of the platform could not be built as scheduled and needed temporary renovation, the budget increased again and again, and so on.

But despite all these difficulties, "Project Yuan" still started on time!
"Director Zheng, it's really not easy to find such a place to shoot."

On the first day of filming, Xiao Yu rushed to the shooting site and met with all the main creators.

"Isn't this for good effect? ​​Although the special effect is good, I always feel that it is less interesting than the real scene."

It's hard for Xiao Yu to comment on which special effects or real scenes are better. Every director has different habits. Since Zheng Jigang is entrusted with the film, I believe he can make it well.

The pre-shooting was mainly about the content on the train, and the content of the laboratory was going to be shot in Shanghai, so it was basically Liu Yan's show alone.

And Liu Yan is worthy of being the film king, Xiao Yu understood why Zheng Jigang chose him after watching him for a day.

His acting feels flawless, be it panic, doubt, anger or bewilderment.

The overall feeling is just two words - stable.

He is like a performance machine that accurately expresses all emotions, which matches the protagonist's identity as a soldier very well.

The most frightening thing is that there are very few NGs in the whole shooting, and even the actors who played against him have played a good level under such leadership.

Which director doesn't like such an actor!

"Miss Liu, you have worked hard."

After the filming ended, Xiao Yu took the initiative to chat with Liu Yan.

He didn't have the airs of a film king at all, and he didn't even have an assistant. He sat alone in the corner of the studio to rest.

Hearing Xiao Yu approaching, Liu Yan put down the water glass in his hand, "It's not hard work, it's what it should be."

After Tian Zhiyuan recommended Liu Yan, Xiao Yu had already met him, and it could be seen that he was not good at words and was immersed in the drama world.

Such a person, Xiao Yu, is respected very much. Anyone who can stick to his ideals in this age is worthy of respect.

Xiao Yu's heart moved, thinking of something Tian Zhiyuan told him, "I heard Teacher Tian said that you are still an independent actor?"

Liu Yan nodded, "Yes, I signed a company before, but it was quite unpleasant, and then I developed on my own."

"I'm afraid it's not easy for independent actors to take on roles?"

Liu Yan said euphemistically, "There will definitely be fewer choices, but it's good to shoot the ones I like."

"But there are still many scenes that can't be filmed. Teacher Liu's acting skills are so good, it's a pity that there is no place to show them."

Liu Yan didn't expect Xiao Yu to be so direct, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Before you accepted the film, I think Mr. Tian should have introduced our company. We have a lot of good scripts waiting to be filmed, but we are short of good actors to match them. You are the winner of the Golden Phoenix Award and deserve better scripts. If Mr. Liu wants to show his talents in the entertainment industry, he can consider the Starlight Project."

Tian Zhiyuan hinted at him before, but Xiao Yu didn't understand what it meant at the time, and when he met Liu Yan later, he also acted very ordinary.

When I went to the scene today to watch him act, Xiao Yu suddenly became interested in talents, and finally understood what Tian Zhiyuan meant.

This is an actor with mature acting skills and a self-contained system, and he will become a unique general in Starlight.

The script in hand and his strength can produce a different chemical reaction.

Tian Zhiyuan also strongly recommended it because he didn't want his friend Mingzhu to be dusty.

When Liu Yan decided to take the role, firstly, he really liked the script, and secondly, he had never starred in such a big production.

Those who are in the entertainment industry don't want their names to be widely known.

He has indeed heard about this company from his friends, and he can see that they are really serious about filming, but he has been used to being alone for so many years, so it is inevitable for him to hesitate to join a company suddenly.

"Ms. Liu thinks about it slowly. You can wait until the show is over before making a decision, or you can come to me anytime you think about it."

Xiao Yu understands his embarrassment, many things have to follow the trend, after all, twisted melons are not sweet.

In the next few days, he never mentioned this matter again, and stayed in the crew to watch the filming at ease.

Seeing that the whole drama was unfolding in an orderly manner under Zheng Jigang, Xiao Yu simply left the crew directly in order not to interfere with their creation.
