Directors who can make TV series and movies are seldom willing to make short films. The size is different and the influence is also different.

But for Shang Lu, whether it is a TV series or a movie, the shooting cycle is too long. When encountering a large-scale costume drama or a drama that requires a lot of special effects, it takes at least a year and a half from shooting to release.

But short films are different. Needless to say, the shooting cycle is short, and there is no need for first and second trials. As long as there is no sensitive content, it can be posted on the Internet after shooting.

And in terms of subject matter, there are more choices.

The style most suitable for short films is suspense.

Shang Lu immediately thought of the drama "Circulation". This is a film about time circulation. It doesn't need many special effects, nor many actors. There are not many scenes, and the investment doesn't need too much.

The most important thing is that she likes this show and the script very much.

It's not hard to find an actor. The heroine is a college student, so she went to the university to find a girl who studied acting.

The male protagonist is a social animal, so find an actor with acting experience.

In contrast, the role of "Auntie Guo" is the most difficult to perform. You must find an old actor with good acting skills.

The first thing she thought of was Teacher Wu Wanzhen.

Wu Wanzhen is a standard show face, has played many roles, and has been deeply cultivated on the stage of drama for many years.But she is not well-known in the eyes of the public, because she basically plays supporting roles, and everyone can call her role, but not her name.

The reason why Shang Lu thought of Wu Wanzhen was because she watched a drama some time ago, and Wu Wanzhen's performance was outstanding. Although it was only a small role, she acted the tension.

However, she didn't have Wu Wanzhen's contact information, so if she wanted to contact her, she might have to ask Tian Xiao to find her.

Thinking of this, Shang Lu simply took out the computer and wrote the script.

"Circulation" is tentatively scheduled to be 12 episodes, and the length of each episode is not fixed, and it is cut off according to the key nodes of the plot.

And she first listed the main characters. In addition to the two protagonists, the characters with more roles include the deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment, the driver uncle, Guo Aunt, the second-year boy, Internet celebrity, migrant workers, etc.

In such a short time, there must be forty or fifty characters in total, large and small.

Fortunately, today's Shanglu is not the same as before. It is not difficult to form a small team to shoot this kind of video.

The heroine is played by Tian Yujia. Shang Lu was quite impressed with this school girl who offered to hand in her resume. She took the initiative to fight for the role. It is not a bad thing to be ambitious. Shang Lu does not dislike such an actor.

As the actor of the male lead, Shang Lu found an old acquaintance, Fu Xiaoyang who had been a guest star in the "Three Lives" crew, although he only stayed on the crew for a week, Shang Lu was deeply impressed by him.

Fu Xiaoyang is only 27 years old this year, but his acting skills are quite mature, not at all like this age group.Shang Lu is also very relieved that he will play the male lead.

Only the role of Aunt Guo gave Shang Lu a headache.

Tian Xiao did help her get in touch with Teacher Wu Wanzhen, but the other party refused.Shang Lu searched and searched, but still felt that Wu Wanzhen was the most suitable.

It seems that she can only make a trip in person.

Wu Wanzhen is an actor in the Huaguo Drama Theater. Apart from filming and rehearsing dramas, she is basically at home.

Shang Lu came directly to the repertory theater, and Tian Xiao also accompanied her.

But on the way, Tian Xiao was still a little helpless, "It doesn't matter whether you want to make an online drama or a TV series, it's fine, but it's hard to hire professional actors for the short videos you're shooting now, especially for this kind of old drama. They have a bit of arrogance in their bones when it comes to acting, and it's hard to impress them if they don't have good scripts or good characters."

Shang Lu has a different idea, "If I shoot an online drama, I don't know how much time I will waste from filing to review. Instead of doing that, I might as well just shoot a short video. It only needs to be reviewed in the background and it will pass. Hurry up."

For directors and actors, time is very precious. If a drama produced with great efforts cannot be released, it is simply a waste of time.

Waiting for the review time, Shang Lu didn't know how many dramas he could make.

Seeing that she was so persistent, Tian Xiao still couldn't hold back her in the end.

"Okay, I support you in pursuing your dreams. It's just the investment side. I talked a few times, but they are not very happy. Also, where do you plan to broadcast it after the filming, [Jiji] or Huasheng?"

Shang Lu looked down at her own script, and then reorganized it carefully to make sure nothing was missed.

She didn't raise her head, "Of course it's on [jitter]. I can't rely too much on Huasheng, relying on mountains and mountains, relying on water and water flow. I actually want to start a company by myself, but I lack a reliable partner. people."

When Tian Xiao heard this, he was thoughtful, "What kind of company do you want to start?"

"It's a film and television company. Open projects and attract investment by yourself. It's best to raise a group of actors of your own, so that you can go to various crews for convenience." That's it.

They not only make their own dramas, but also have a supporting publicity team. Gold medal directors are responsible for word-of-mouth dramas, and other directors are responsible for generating income for the company.

Although the quality of the dramas filmed varies, commercialization has been very successful.

What Shanglu wants now is this kind of company.

"But this is just an idea. At present, it is not up to the mark in all aspects, and there is still trouble. If you know a business genius, remember to recommend it to me. I have a dividend from Huasheng in my hand, and I will start a small-scale business. The company is still fine."

Tian Xiao actually had some thoughts in her heart, but when she looked at Shang Lu, she still hesitated in her heart, mainly because the other party was unreliable, so she dared not recommend it.

So she could only echo, "Okay, let's talk about it later."

When they came to the Huaguo Drama Troupe, the two of them met the person who picked them up, "Ms. Wu Wanzhen came to the rehearsal of the Drama Troupe today, but she is busy now and may not be able to take care of you for the time being."

Shang Lu nodded, "It's okay, we just wait."

The man took another look at Shang Lu, but he didn't expect her to be so talkative, "Okay, then I'll take you to the backstage."

However, Shang Lu made a request, "The rehearsal site, do you mind if we take a look?"

Although she had seen Wu Wanzhen's performance on TV, she was also very curious about Wu Wanzhen on the stage of drama.

Fortunately, the people in the repertory troupe were very talkative, so we took them there.

The location of their rehearsal was actually an empty hall, with a dozen or so people wearing ordinary clothes rehearsing in the middle. It was quite simple, but it fit Shang Lu's impression very well.

Wu Wanzhen, who was sitting at the table, was wearing casual clothes. She looked about 40 years old, with a thin body and sharp eyes. As soon as Shang Lu and the others walked in, Wu Wanzhen's eyes swept over. At that moment, Shang Lu felt , as if a knife was scraped over.
