China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 114 Fixed Angle, Power On, Kill
Just thinking about it, Jiang Wen took out the script.

Lu Pingan picked it up and looked through it carefully.

It turned out fine.

The plot structure has not changed, and the main plot has changed two, but it does not affect the overall theme.

What has changed the most is the lines.

And these were originally what Lu Pingan needed Jiang Wen to do.

From the looks of it now, Lu Pingan might get another super reward for prostitution.

The last time I got a super reward was in 01, and it has been almost two years since then.

It seems that my progress is really limited.

But still the same sentence, the better the work, the harder it is to surpass it, this kind of thing can't be rushed.

Just thinking about it, Lu Pingan saw the final ending of the new script.

He frowned suddenly.

Jiang Wen changed the ending.

Fortunately, not much has changed.

In the original version of "The Hunger Platform", the final ending is that the hero finally sent the complete cake to the 0th floor.

And the chefs above thought there was hair in the cake and it was returned.

This is a plot with great irony, symbolizing the struggle and resistance below, which cannot be seen above.

As for Jiang Wen's ending, he just replaced the cake with another dish, and the cake that appeared in the previous plot was still the same.

Lu Pingan thought for a while, and he felt that Jiang Wen didn't want to focus on the hero's single struggle in the ending movie, but wanted to pass it on to the audience. The "vertical self-management center (prison in the film)" protest has become normalized , After the male lead died, someone else did the same thing?

Thinking about it, it seems to be true. This small change made the similes and metaphors of the whole movie flat and straightforward, and became a more complete movie. While still having similes and metaphors, it also left more blank space at the end of the movie, allowing the movie world to become more complete. People have more possibilities.

"How about it?"

Jiang Wen asked at this time.

Lu Pingan's thoughts were interrupted, he thought for a while and said, "Let's shoot both, and see which one is better."

Lu Pingan himself really couldn't tell which one was better.

But after shooting both versions, it is the most foolish operation to use whichever is more complete when finalizing or editing.

Jiang Wen actually had no choice. Lu Ping'an's script was extremely complete, and if he really wanted to change it, except for the lines and individual plots, it was really hard to change anything else.

The same is true for "The Hunger Platform" this time. He watched it for a long time and wrote many versions before finally confirming that the current version is just a slightly changed ending. completely naked.

So either I like Kolu Ping An's script.

What you want is this feeling that makes you unable to start!
Too simple but I don't like it.

Of course, someday I have to change it to convince him!
Putting away his thoughts, Jiang Wen said with a smile: "Look, this is the difference between you and them. You know the goods. Even if you don't know which one is better, you will stick to your own ideas. At worst, you will spend money to shoot them all, and then take a look." Use whichever is better."

"..."

"Is this the only way to make a good work? What can you do if you always stare at those sesame seeds!"

"..."

"Okay, let's shoot like this, when will it start?"

Lu Pingan put down the script and said, "The filming location is ready, and we can start casting tomorrow."

"Okay, then tomorrow."

Jiang Wen suddenly seemed to return to his soul, and then asked: "I heard that Ah Wen said that you still have a short film about Venice?"

"Yes, I just made it, and I'm going to send it to Mr. Hu to Venice tomorrow."

"have a look."

"Go."

The next day, Lu Pingan asked Hu Qingquan to send the short film and Ning Hao's "Incense" to Venice.

Looking back, it was the establishment of the "Hunger Platform" project.

The project's scene, production team, Fuhuadao, etc. have been prepared for two months.

From the boot, all that's left is casting.

Regarding the casting, Lu Pingan and Jiang Wen discussed, and first looked at Lu Pingan's favorite person. If it didn't work, then Jiang Wen came. If it was OK, Jiang Wen would not only be the assistant director, but also find other roles to enjoy himself.

The cooperation with Lu Ping'an was actually very easy for Jiang Wen. He didn't care about the salary or the position. Anyway, the script was good, so he was happy to play it no matter what.

Lu Pingan has no objection to this, the script and theme remain unchanged, he is not worried if Jiang Wen will act or not.

So the audition invitation for the protagonist was sent out directly.

Lu Pingan chose Duan Yihong as the protagonist. He didn't cooperate with him last time. The reason for this cooperation is still sufficient. The system score is 10.1, which is a very good result.

After receiving the audition invitation, Duan Yihong promised to come over on the spot.

He watched the role he missed last time in a movie. "Terrorist" wasn't particularly brilliant, but the box office hit, who wouldn't like it if he could raise his value?
The invitation to audition for the role of the hero's first roommate has also been sent out. This role must be older, look kind, and be tough.

Lu Pingan originally wanted to find Ni Dahong, but his schedule conflicted. In the end, Lu Pingan locked two targets, one was "veterinarian" Luo Jingmin, and the other was Niu Ben.

The former is more than 50, and the latter is more than 60, both of which are suitable.

In the end, Luo Jingmin decided to come to the audition. Niu Ben had some physical problems and said that he might have to rest for several years.

As for the rest of the roles, since many foreigners were involved, Lu Pingan let Jiang Wen handle them.

As a result, Jiang Wen pulled a group of acquaintances over.

The most famous ones are Cao Cao, Yano Koji and Canadian Dashan. The first two decided to come to China for development in recent years.

Lu Ping'an's most impressive role to Cao Cao is the "National Assistance" in "My Leader, My Regiment".

If Duan Yihong and Luo Jingmin can act this time, our group can become a three-person combat team.

Needless to say, Yano Koji, Dashan came to play a cameo role. He has long been famous in China, and he didn't have much time, so Lu Pingan simply asked him to play the role of chef at the end.

There are 6 other foreign actors, black, white, and brown. The brown one is an Indian student from Nortel. He was recruited as a young man, and this guy shook his head very happily.

With these foreigners, all that is left is some yellow people to fill in.

Among them, the most important scenes are "Woman Looking for Daughter" and "Ex-manager with Cancer".

The former Lu Ping'an directly sent audition invitations to major colleges and universities. After watching it once, he felt that the scale was acceptable, the acting skills were good, and it was cheap, so it was settled. There was nothing to hesitate.

In the latter case, Lu Pingan chose Yan Ni, but he didn't know if she would be willing to act in such a heavy drama.

So the next notice about the casting was sent out directly.

All of a sudden, Shanghai Opera, China Opera, Nortel and major brokerage companies were all attracted.

Lu Ping'an's new play, Jiang Wen, is also there, and these two points are already very attractive.

Sister Hua was attracted immediately, but hesitated after reading the script.

Lu Pingan said to her: "This character basically doesn't show his face, and the bonus is not big. If it doesn't work, we can make another one."

Sister Hua chose the next one. Lu Pingan's drama does not add much to the character, and there may even be a reverse effect. She is an agent, not a school teacher, so she has to consider this.

As for the protagonist, Jiang Wen and Lu Pingan had candidates, so she gave up in the end.

Lu Pingan likes this kind of understanding, so the next play will indeed take care of her.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't know where she got the news, so she also called to ask, after the last call with her, she would call to chat about trivial matters, Lu Pingan didn't refuse, how could she refuse, anyway, she didn't care .

But this time he refused: "There is really no one suitable for you, so let me tell you a plot. If you want to eat people, can you?"

Gao Yuanyuan said "Ah~" for a long time, as if disgusted, and then blackmailed Lu Pingan for a meal to make up for it.

Why do women like blackmailing men so much?
Besides her, Dong Xuan also called, Lu Pingan gave the same reason, and she also gave up.

Yan Danchen also called, not asking if he could act, but asking her to consider her little sister Qin Lan if she could.

Qin Lan was still very beautiful, but Lu Pingan still refused for the same reason.

Finally, on May 5th, the auditions began.

After entering the stage, without any nonsense, Lu Pingan first gave the script to a few selected actors.

The male protagonist Duan Yihong, the old roommate Luo Jingmin, and the former employee Yan Ni who has cancer.

After the three of them read it, they all felt that the script was very good, and at the same time it was very violent and naked.

Lu Pingan didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the audition.

Needless to say, Jiang Wen lost to Duan Yihong.

The reason is that Jiang Wen saw a seedling that was better than Zhang Songwen.

Zhang Songwen was on the side: "..."

Lu Pingan didn't expose Jiang Wen's real reason because he was afraid of losing weight, and asked Duan Yihong directly: "Senior Duan, your role needs to lose weight during filming, at least ten catties, you think about it."

Duan Yihong directly decided: "No problem!"

When Duan Yihong talked about acting skills, his eyes seemed to light up, which was completely different from his usual social fear.

Yan Ni on the side looked at it, and suddenly felt that this person was probably a play lunatic.

Without waiting to think about it, Lu Pingan asked her: "Sister Yan, is it okay to hold a dog in your role?"

"I'm fine, as long as it's not a big dog."

"Okay, then you and the drama manager will pick one, and cultivate the relationship first."

"it is good."

In the end, the role of Luo Jingmin did not have any requirements, and Lu Pingan directly asked Wu Guohua to discuss salary with everyone.

They are all unknown actors, several main characters add up to 10 yuan, and the price in 03 has risen a bit compared to last year.

The three of them decided, and the rest of the roles were also basically decided.

The black man who fights side by side with the hero is the only black man in the laowai, which makes him cheaper.

There are several other soy sauce characters, including Baoqiang and Zhang Songwen.

Zhang Songwen is really a bit like a TVB actor now, he takes on any role, and doesn't care about showing his face. In short, he is very dedicated to his work. Because Baoqiang is a bit stupid, Lu Pingan asked him to play the "fool" in the film.

Ultimately all that remains is "a woman looking for her daughter".

Jiang Wen recommended Zhou Yun, a female Chinese opera student who was in the same class as Lu Pingan. Lu Pingan knew that this girl was Jiang Wen's future wife.

He directly agreed, as Jiang Wen's reward for changing the script for him.

The last one is the little girl. Lu Pingan asked Mr. Nortel to provide one, just a few shots, just be good, don't worry too much.

Things are done, on May 5, "Hunger Platform" will start.

On June 6, the last few shots to decide whether to surpass or not started shooting.
　I got home late at night, it rained heavily in Hangzhou, and the car rear-ended, which delayed a lot of time. I will come back at noon tomorrow to make up for it, which will not affect the normal update tomorrow.
