I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 94 Script Surrounding
"Hey, Zeng Li."

"What's wrong, Qingshan?"

"Are you interested in the heroine of my new movie?"

Zeng Li's voice didn't come out for a while on the other end of the phone. Wan Qingshan took the phone away from his ear, took a look and found that the signal was full.

Just when Wan Qingshan was about to start asking, Zeng Li's voice came from the mobile phone.

"Qingshan, you have a girlfriend now, I don't want to be a mistress."

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed, "What are you thinking? This role is for everyone, so why not give it to you? We are friends after all."

On the sofa in a room, Zeng Li, whose face was red, patted her forehead and said with a smile,

"Hehe, I misunderstood."

"Okay, don't talk about this anymore. If you are embarrassed, so will I.

The filming will start in late April and go to Thailand to shoot. Because the heroine's role is relatively small, you have to follow the whole process. It will take about two months. Do you have time? "

Zeng Li, who had come out of her embarrassment a little, smiled and said, "Qingshan, the heroine of your movie, which actress in the industry would say there is no time."

"Stop teasing me, you will come to my company later to sign the contract and get the script."

"Then I'll go now."

When Wan Qingshan returned to the company, Zeng Li and her agent were already there.

After signing the contract, Zeng Li didn't stay long, just thanked her and left.

As soon as Zeng Li left, Wan Qingshan left the company and continued to spend time in the gym.

On April [-], Wan Qingshan and Zhang Zhao got on a plane to Thailand.

After the Wanqingshan group landed, the Thailand International Airport was very empty.

Thailand is not yet a big tourist country in Southeast Asia, and April is the hottest time in Thailand, so fewer people come to travel.

When the group walked out of the airport, they saw Li Yancheng.

"Brother Cheng, I've worked hard for you during this period. Look at you, you're so black. If you stay here for a few more months, you'll be no different from the locals." Wan Qingshan joked.

Li Yancheng, who had already darkened a few times, smiled and said, "I can't help it. March and April are the hottest months here. If you walk outside for a long time, your skin will peel."

After getting on the bus prepared by Li Yancheng, Li Yancheng said to Wan Qingshan, "Director Wan, the Thai government knows that you are coming today, and they have invited you to dinner tonight."

Starting from the filming of "Heart", after joining the group, Li Yancheng usually no longer calls Wan Qingshan Qingzi, but only Wan Dao.

"Okay, then I'll go meet them tonight. Brother Cheng, are you ready with all the props?"

"Everything is ready. When I heard that you were filming the movie, the Thai government took the initiative to help find people and props."

Along the way, Wanqingshan and Li Yancheng chatted. After arriving at the hotel, Zeng Li and others went to their rooms to pack their things. Wanqingshan, Li Yancheng and Zhang Zhao, who were about to become locals, came to a conference room in the hotel.

"Mr. Zhang, since the filming is in Thailand, I haven't prepared a press conference. Compared with other movies, we have one less promotion channel."

Speaking of this, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the cooperation with China Film. When working with China Film, there is no need to consider shooting equipment and various formalities, and there is no need to consider publicity.

Publicity and star lineup are linked to the early theater scheduling rate.With the same star cast, if your movie has less publicity, then the early filming rate will be lower.

When he was filming "The True Meaning of Love," Wan Qingshan didn't dare to start a press conference, and he didn't find reporters to interview and report during the process. It was precisely because China Film Association guaranteed the early filming rate.

Wan Qingshan collected his cluttered thoughts and continued, "So I think that after the crew started filming, they would ask Yan Dong to take a few photos of us filming every few days.

At that time, please, please take these photos to the TV station's entertainment news report program and report them every few days.

Zhang Zong, considering the relationship between Enlight Media and the TV station, this kind of thing should be no problem. "

The current process of movie promotion in the industry starts with the launch conference for promotion. In the middle, the crew will invite reporters to take a few photos and report on the film. Finally, before the movie is released, the cast and crew go to the TV station to promote it.

Zhang Zhao was shocked by Wan Qingshan's propaganda method.

Today's entertainment news reports on TV stations are mostly gossips about celebrities. No one would think of promoting a movie on such a program.

Compared to inviting reporters to interview the crew and publishing it in newspapers, putting a movie on an entertainment news program can reach a much larger audience than a newspaper.

At the same time, the advantages of Enlight Media were also brought into play.

"Director Wan, your publicity method is groundbreaking. Compared to you, everyone in the publicity and development department of Enlight Pictures should resign."

Wan Qingshan smiled heartily and said, "Mr. Zhang, some time ago, I suddenly saw the entertainment morning news on a TV station and had a sudden idea.

I don’t know how effective this kind of publicity will be.It's just that we don't have a launch conference, and even if we invite reporters to cover it, the publicity is a bit weaker, so we can only use strange tricks to see if we can make up for the weak announcement. "

"Director Wan, this will more than make up for the weakness in publicity. I think that as long as it is promoted a few times, people all over the country will know about "Loyalty and Boldness"."

Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, then this matter will trouble you."

"Director Wan, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by Enlight Pictures."

Wan Qingshan then looked at Yandong, "Yandong, you've read the script, so you don't need me to tell you the camera requirements."

Yan Dong and Wan Qingshan have known each other for several years and have collaborated on three films. After reading the script, he knew Wan Qingshan’s requirements for the picture. He smiled confidently,
"The lens should be darker, and the picture should be depressing and chilling, right?"

Wan Qingshan nodded and looked at Li Yancheng, "Brother Cheng, start coordinating the actors' time and make a shooting plan." "No problem, just give me a few days."

After the matter was discussed and a few people chatted for a while, Li Yancheng was ready to get busy.

When Li Yancheng went out, Wan Qingshan asked him to notify the actors, art team, recording team, and screenwriters to come to the conference room to read the script.

Script reading can play a big role in the progress of filming, but no one in China pays attention to it yet.

It's not that domestic directors haven't discovered the role of script reading, but it's because the foreign crew is the largest producer, while the domestic crew is the largest director.

Before the filming starts, domestic directors basically have a rough idea of ​​all the scenes in the movie. There is no need to read the script or have someone understand it differently from the director.

This is also why Wan Qingshan did not prepare script readings for the three plays.

This time he was preparing for a script reading because in terms of suspense, he was afraid that some details would be wrong, and he hoped that the script reading could check for any omissions and fill in the gaps.

"Director Wan! Mr. Zhang, Yan Photography."

Dong Xuan, who still had a baby face, was the first to come to the conference room.

"Well, sit down."

After hearing Wan Qingshan's words, Dong Xuan found a stool and sat down.After sitting down, she secretly glanced at Wanqing Mountain, and her thoughts began to spin.

"I didn't expect Director Wan to be more handsome than he was on camera. Then if he really wants to, then I won't be at a loss."

"Director Wan, Mr. Zhang, Photography Yan."

Yang Junyi's voice made Dong Xuan come back to her senses immediately. Thinking of what she had just thought, she immediately blushed.

"Ah, what are you thinking about? What is not a loss?"

After Dong Xuan blushed and complained about himself in his heart, Zeng Li and others walked in one after another.

After everyone arrived, Wan Qingshan shouted, "Okay, everyone is here, now we have a script reading.

Let me start first. I play Shi Hong, the boss of Chinatown, who makes a living by smuggling people.

Because his family was poor, when Shi Hong was a teenager, he sold himself to human traffickers so that his younger brothers and sisters could survive.

Because of his good looks, he was sold by human traffickers to an old man to work as a prostitute, which resulted in his somewhat abnormal personality.

His wife, Mai Xinxin, was a relative of the old man he used to be. After he killed the old man, he forcibly married Mai Xinxin.Because he hated the relationship with the old man, he would often abuse Mai Xinxin.

His subordinates Cong Yunying and Wu Guang are very similar to his younger brothers in some aspects, so he is particularly good to them.

It was precisely because of this that Jin Yan was kidnapped by his people. He never doubted Cong Yunying and Wu Guang, which led to his tragic death. "

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he looked around at everyone and said, "If you have any different opinions on the role of Shi Hong, you can put them forward."

Seeing that no one was speaking, Wan Qingshan turned his eyes and said, "Zhang Jin, please tell me your understanding of the character Wu Guang you played."

He has a fleshy face, a little beard, and some masculine tension. He looked at the characters he made during this period and said,

"The character I play, Wu Guang, was sold to human traffickers by his family when he was a child, so he is taciturn and cruel on the surface, but he lacks love in his heart, so he is seduced by the golden smoke and betrays Shi Hong."

Wan Qingshan nodded inwardly, and Zhang Jin put in a lot of effort. Instead of reading out the characters according to the script, he added backgrounds to the characters himself, making Wu Guang's character a little fuller.

After Wan Qingshan thought for a while, he turned to Sun Yao and the others and said, "Wu Guang's betrayal is still a bit weak. Please add a plot. Jin Yan was not originally called Jin Yan. She and Wu Guang were neighbors when they were children.

After Wu Guang was sold, Jin Yan was also sold by his family, to Jin Chengtao, so Wu Guang's betrayal was more natural. "

After hearing this, Sun Yao and the others immediately wrote down in their notebooks what Wan Qingshan had just said.

"Zeng Li, it's your turn."

"Mai Xinxin, she knew that Shi Hong abused her because of her relatives. She knew that if she didn't kill Shi Hong, Shi Hong would abuse her to death sooner or later.

That's why she seduced Shi Hong's subordinate Cong Yingfu and kidnapped Jin Yan, hoping to cause a fight between Jin Chengtao and Shi Hong and take the opportunity to kill Shi Hong. "

Zeng Li's role as Jin Yan is more like a flower vase, so Wan Qingshan has nothing to say about Zeng Li's understanding.

"Yang Junyi, it's your turn."

"Director Wan, Mr. Cong Ying is arrogant and domineering. He is both afraid of Shi Hong and a little dissatisfied. He thinks that if he becomes the boss, he will never be like Shi Hong, who just cowers in Chinatown.

At the same time, he is also very lustful, so he will be seduced by Mai Xinxin and betray Shi Hong.

Cong Yingfu was not smart enough, so he kidnapped Jin Yan under Wu Guang's special guidance. "

Cong Yingfu is the third male supporting actor, not as plump as the second male lead Wu Guang, and Wan Qingshan has nothing to say about Yang Junyi's understanding.

"Dong Xuan, it's your turn."

After the actors expressed their understanding of the role, the art team and recording team each expressed their understanding of the work.

Let the script reading last until the evening and then end.
