China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 51 You want me to be the heroine?

The two went to the school's Four Seasons Cafe and bought two drinks casually.

This is one of the scenic spots in Jingying. Usually, many people gather here, dating, chatting, and talking about scripts.

"What's the matter? I seldom see you when you are troubled?" Zhao Tiantian said.

"It's not annoying, maybe it's because I've been leisurely for too long... It should be the reason for the early stage of the business. There is no one under my command, so I have to do everything myself." Li Jingkun said.

"You started a business?"

"I'm planning to make a short play and start a new chapter in my life. Is it considered a business?"

"Then you can invite someone."

"It's not that time yet," Li Jingkun said, "It's okay, maybe it's because I was too comfortable before, and it's a bit annoying to be busy all of a sudden."

"...You are considered comfortable? I think you were quite busy before." Zhao Tiantian said, "You want to make a short play? What kind of short play?"

"A campus short play, a very simple story."

"Short plays are hard to sell, aren't they?"

"A short play made by a freshman, who do you want to sell it to?"

Video websites have existed for a long time, and I also realized that I can independently invest in making some online TV dramas or short films, which is much less investment than buying TV dramas from others.

But still the same sentence, who would dare to buy a web drama from a freshman?Who will buy it?
There is a high probability that it will lose money or not cost-effective, right?
"Then you still want to shoot?" Zhao Tiantian said.

"Most of the new director's first one or two works did not make money. Just like you actors, there are many scenes that have been filmed, and some of them have no chance to be broadcast." Li Jingkun said.

Zhao Tiantian was quite curious about his works, so Li Jingkun probably told her about it. The script was finished, and the storyboard script was still being drawn, but the actors hadn't been found yet.

Zhao Tiantian suddenly realized something and said, "You don't want me to be your heroine, do you?"

Li Jingkun said: "No, I can't afford you. I plan to start filming only during the summer vacation. The actors are not in a hurry, let's wait a while."

Zhao Tiantian nodded, it would be fine if it took a few days, but Li Jingkun planned to shoot for half a month.She definitely didn't have that long to help, after all, she also had a TV series to shoot.

In the days that followed, besides attending classes normally, of course it was the work of preparing short plays.

Some people have no problems getting along with each other, but once interests are involved, they expose their three views.

During the military training, Li Jingkun shared the dormitory with Wang Yang, Guo Junli, and Fang Weida, so they had a better relationship.The three views of the other two are relatively close to Li Jingkun, but what Fang Weida said sometimes is very strange.

Usually when we go out to eat, Li Jingkun treats most of the guests, and Fang Weida never gave money.

But when Li Jingkun was treating guests, he said a lot of compliments.It is said that he is good at making money when he is only a freshman. It would be great if he doesn't live off-campus. If he usually lives on-campus, he can take care of his brothers more.

Normally, Li Jingkun doesn't care about it, but now that he is going to shoot his first short play, he was offered a salary of [-] yuan to help, but he hinted that he gave too little.

Maybe it's a bit small, but he can only invite so much at the moment, if he thinks it's too little, then he can only cooperate again in the future.

Unexpectedly, when he told Fang Weida that he didn't need his help for the time being, his expression changed, and he said that a relative had introduced him to do a summer job, but in order to help Li Jingkun, he refused, and now he said no. Need him?
Speechless, there is at least one month before the summer vacation, and your relatives introduced you to work now?Why am I so unbelievable.

Besides, there is still one month before the summer vacation, so it is not difficult to tell your relatives to go again, or to find a summer job again?
Or, even if you find it, the salary is not as much as 3000 yuan?
Li Jingkun didn't bother to talk to him, anyway, he made it clear to him.

"Which one will the school look for then?"

"Our school is definitely not suitable. What I want to shoot is the life of high school students. The classrooms in high school are still different from the classrooms in universities."

Wang Yang, as the assistant director, and Guo Junli, as the photographer, need to participate in the selection of the venue, the discussion of the script, the determination of the visual style and so on.

In fact, it is good to shoot a TV series or a movie. The preparatory work in the early stage is very cumbersome and important. Sometimes the preparation time of a movie is longer than the shooting time.

However, if the pre-preparation is sufficient, the subsequent shooting work will proceed more smoothly.

In fact, the classroom scenes are easier to find, and there are more choices during the summer vacation.But you have to walk around on the spot, take a few photos and file them back.

In June, we started to recruit actors. Except for the role of teachers, we have to find outsiders, and we will give priority to school students for other roles.

So they posted a notice on the bulletin board, recruiting leading actors and actresses, supporting actors and actresses, and so on.For half a month, there is a salary.

This recruitment information still caused a bit of a stir. After all, there are quite a lot of people needed, not only actors, but also other professionals.It doesn't look small.

However, Li Jingkun and the others also have to hold an audition for the actors. If they are not up to the professional level, they would rather go to those well-known, more expensive ones, but with better acting skills.

Sometimes spending a little more can save you money later on.

They arranged the audition time on Saturday and Sunday. The audition officers were Li Jingkun and Wang Yang. Guo Junli and two or three other students (who had collaborated in short film shooting before) helped to receive interviewers and other preparations.

On the day of the audition, I still encountered a problem, which was the attitude of the auditioner.

Li Jingkun wondered if their production crew was underestimated, thinking that it was organized by students, so it was fine to deal with it casually?

When recruiting before, it was very clear that you must bring your resume, but many people did not bring it; secondly, the answers to questions during the audition were a bit casual, and some seemed to not care whether they would be selected.

So one or two more questions were added later, that is, "Why did you come to this audition", "If you pass the audition, what do you expect from this performance", etc.

To be honest, this short drama does not have high requirements for actors, and the acting skills do not need to be very good, but if the attitude is not correct, the chances of being filmed in the final film "Dream of Showbiz" are very high.

People from the acting department also came, which is what Li Jingkun expected, after all, the majors are the right ones, and they also got in after a tough school exam.Most of the looks are character-appropriate.But there are only a few leading actors, so we can only choose the best one.

"Please introduce yourself first."

"What advantages do you think you have?"

"Please read these lines."

"If you didn't choose the heroine, would you consider other supporting actress roles? Because it's a short play, there may not be many supporting actress roles."

Li Jingkun's attitude must be very serious. After all, it is his own work, so he must strictly follow the formal procedures.

The same is true for Wang Yang and Guo Junli, if the works are well shot, their resumes will look much better in the future.So for Li Jingkun to formalize it, they fully agree.

"My name is Lu Xinting, from the Acting Department of Grade 08."

"I came here because of the recommendation of Teacher Yang Lin. Teacher Yang Lin said that my acting skills and image are good, but he suggested that I practice more. Do you know Teacher Yang Lin?"
