What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

On October [-]st, the citizens of Yanjing, who were close to the water, gathered in front of the enlarged open space in front of Tiananmen Square early in the morning.

If you didn’t have an intuitive understanding of the words crowded and crowded before, then you can have the most intuitive and comprehensive experience when you come to Tiananmen Square in Yanjing on the National Day of October [-]st. up.

This should be regarded as the first official event in the 404 dormitory after meeting and having dinner that night, and it was so formal that it could not be more formal. When we came up, we gathered in front of Tiananmen Square and watched the solemn flag-raising ceremony, followed by the shocking National Day military parade. ceremony.

Among such a group of people, only Qin Yue is an authentic native of Yanjing. It is no exaggeration to say that she is tired of watching the National Day national flag raising and military parade, and by virtue of her father's status in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she can directly sit in the guest seat Good location to watch on.

There is one thing to say, Li Chungang who watched the whole process is still very shocked, this is the power of the country!

—

On the 8th, Gu Wan'er took a private jet to fly directly to Yanjing, accompanied by Situ Rui and her assistant.

Outside the airport, Li Chungang is waiting in the pick-up building with He Miao...

I haven't seen each other for a while, Gu Wan'er is no longer the completely youthful and beautiful dress she wore when they first met, but has changed to a fashionable and concise style that is more suitable for the workplace, half a step behind her, and it is no accident that she is her assistant , Situ Rui does not need to be introduced, and there are many opportunities to get in touch with him.

"God Chungang."

As soon as Gu Wan'er came out of the checkpoint, she caught sight of Li Chungang who were almost out of the crowd.

Li Chungang nodded and smiled lightly: "You can just call me Chungang, the great gods are just what the readers say casually, and it's just that when you write a novel, there's no such thing as a great god."

Gu Wan'er smiled slightly: "It feels like the Great God Chungang is more fluent."

Li Chungang had no choice but to say, "Okay, you can call it whatever you like, I don't care."

After all, we are all young people in their early twenties, and there is no gap in communication.

Gu Wan'er looked at He Miao who was standing beside him without saying a word, and nodded: "I think this is the big brother He Miao, I have also read your new book "Global Recovery", and I have to say that the new genre's ideas are very exciting .”

"Earlier, you mentioned on the phone that the director's candidate has been confirmed and the production crew has already completed the preparations. This time, you are planning to come to Yanjing for an open casting call, right?"

This time, considering the reception of Gu Wan'er and several people, Li Chungang specially booked a whole floor in a four-star hotel in Yanjing, which is the closest to Chinese opera, Zhongchuan and other colleges and universities, to receive Gu Wan'er and the crew when they come to Yanjing Of course, as the boss, Gu Wan'er must use the most luxurious supreme business suite for a few days.

The Bentley Continental that came to pick up a few people was also kindly provided by the hotel.

Take a rest at the hotel in the morning. In the afternoon, Li Chungang takes Gu Waner to visit Yanjing. After all, they live in Yanjing. It is not a problem to be considered as a half-landlord. Since they are responsible for receiving Gu Waner and the others, it is only natural. thing.

In addition, there are quite a few crew members who are in charge of casting roles in Yanjing this time, so they can't take a private jet like Gu Wan'er and the others and just come here without a lot of money. The rules should be obeyed.

Dinner was booked at the Tan Mansion restaurant on the third floor.

This time, in addition to Gu Wan'er and the project leader Situ Rui, she also made an appointment with another shareholder of the company who is also the second investor of the "Sword Come" crew, Zhao Ziyun, Zhao Pangpang, and the director confirmed by the crew. The candidate Hou Yi had dinner together and met by the way.

Because I had the experience of eating palace dishes in Yangfang, Li Chungang is still very much looking forward to this gourmet trip at the Tan Mansion restaurant. His famous dishes such as shark fin rice, Buddha jumping over the wall, etc. are all rare ones. delicacies.

When Li Chungang showed up at the door of the private room on the third floor of the Tan Mansion Restaurant with He Miao, Gu Wan'er and the others had already sat down and waited in the private room. When they saw the two of them coming in, they immediately stood up and greeted each other with smiles.

He nodded apologetically to everyone present: "Sorry, I'm late."

Gu Wan'er smiled tactfully: "It's okay, we've just arrived, and besides, you still have things to deal with at school."

As soon as the voice fell, Li Chungang quickly began to introduce the identities of everyone present:

"This is my friend Zhao Ziyun, who is also one of the investors of the film crew. Of course, this will not be the share you originally set."

"The next one is director Hou Yi, the director of this drama!"

"This is the original work of "The Sword Comes" and also the third investor and screenwriter of our crew, Li Chungang, Mr. Li! And his girlfriend, Ms. He Miaohe."

While Zhao Ziyun was looking at Li Chungang, Li Chungang was also looking at the other party. It was because the other party's figure was so distinctive in the private room, sitting there like a Maitreya Buddha, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit when he laughed.

Hou Yi should be the oldest among all of you here. I don’t know if it’s because directors like this, or because of personal reasons. He has a thick beard on his chin, and he wears a casual outfit. He is around 40 years old, but 40 years old is still a proper rookie in the domestic director circle. To be able to get the attention of Wanxing Entertainment, he must have some skills in directing and filming.

After several parties exchanged courtesy, the dining table culture of the Chinese people was vividly reflected at this moment. While tasting delicious food, they could also discuss business matters.

This time, for the success of the filming of "Sword Comes" and the smooth progress of the casting task, Li Chungang also took some thought, because considering that "Sword Comes" is still in the stage of serialization and update, many characters and supporting roles appearing on the stage are not in the public eye. The design and image are still not very clear and intuitive.

If you want to cast a role in the play, if it is not necessary, it is better to fit the image and temperament of the book as much as possible, and it is best to sign several long-term contracts at the time of signing, so as not to be tied up in the future. When filming the second and third parts, we had to face the embarrassing situation of substituting important characters.

For this reason, he deliberately spent several days of work, making personal files of all the characters who appeared in the 60 episodes of "Sword Come" they are about to film, and finally gathered all of them into one file. At this time, put it in the bag He Miao carries with him.

When everyone is almost satiated and put down their chopsticks...

"Everyone can take a look at this one I prepared."

Chapter 408 Beauty is like a cloud

"What's in here?"

Watching Li Chungang reach out across the dining table and hand over something like a file folder, Gu Wan'er, who was the first to put down the chopsticks in her hand and was the first to put down her chopsticks, took it over and asked in surprise.

Li Chungang smiled mysteriously: "Just look at it and you will know, I believe it will be of some help to your next casting."

People who have really experienced casting in the entertainment industry know that it is not easy to choose an artist who perfectly fits the character's image and temperament in the play, and that time is not something they can afford. After the crew was established, it was accompanied by high expenses every day, and it was like this every day. If it was too long and the drama was not filmed even every minute, the whole project had already been dragged down.

Therefore, generally speaking, the focus is on several leading actors. If "Sword Comes" is used as an example, there must be no doubt that the male and female protagonists are the first, and there is almost no doubt that in the first part of the early stage The key character running through the whole plot—Qi Jinchun, this man who is as gentle as the spring breeze; and the important red dress.

In this document, he has already recorded in detail the advantages and disadvantages of each character's background, personality, tendency, characteristics, etc...

At that time, as long as you choose according to the temperament and image characteristics described above, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

It's not like no one has done this kind of work in the entertainment industry, and it's even more common in the modeling industry. It's just that after a careful study of the script, directors and producers generally have a general impression of the character in their minds. It is definitely not as good as holding Li Chungang's information to choose from memory.

Besides, there is one of the most critical and important factors. Li Chungang, as the screenwriter and author of the original work of "Sword Come", no one in the world knows each character in the script better than him. This is also the reason why the director Hou Yi and the producer Situ Rui insisted on inviting Li Chungang to join in the casting work even though Li Chungang still needed to attend classes, even if it was to help and give advice from the sidelines.

"I flipped through it roughly, and it's really good, and the character design inside is also very detailed!"

Gu Wan'er nodded, because there were several other people besides her who looked into her hands curiously, and with limited time, they had to browse through it roughly and pass it on to the next director, Hou Yizhi. hand.

As the main speaker of the crew casting this time and the director of "Sword Come", he should be in urgent need of this thing.

Until this document was finally handed over to the producer, Situ Rui, without a time limit, he could naturally spend some time reading it in detail, but while reading it, he naturally signed his company back some time ago Substituting in the artists one by one, it seems that a large part of them do not meet the requirements, and it is a pity that the male protagonist is a teenager, which makes most of the male characters whose temperament and image match but whose age do not match Artists are excluded.

Fortunately, Hua Guo is also very proficient in makeup, one of the four major magic arts in Asia.

As long as the actor's age is not too exaggerated, one or two can still be made up for by a superb makeup technique.

Originally, Situ Rui was watching alone, but Zhao Ziyun, who was sitting next to him, also quietly pulled his chair over and moved his head towards it at the same time.

The two of them thought together for a long time before they suddenly discovered that among the artists that Wanxing Entertainment had painstakingly signed back some time ago, they found that there were really very few who met the requirements described in this document, even including those who were found through relationships. Come to the door, want to rub 1.5 million entertainment companies that produce hot topics, want to say that they will spend some money to stuff a few newcomers into the crew or something.

At least there must be those characters that can be shown in the camera. It would be great if there are a few lines and some rival scenes!

It's been a long time. It seems that I finally have to watch the audition.

But this water alone has already made everyone in the audience admire it.It is actually not very technically difficult to make such detailed information similar to a personal file. The real rare thing is that you are willing to spend this time.

It’s the gold-medal screenwriters in the screenwriting circle, even in the face of giant companies in the entertainment industry, each of them is still worth as much as [-] million. Anyway, as long as these people write the script, they will not worry about it. No film and television company came to the door begging to buy it.

What's more, taking a ten thousand step back, who can be a gold medal screenwriter has already earned enough savings for retirement, so how can it depend on other people's faces? As for the characters in the play Take the time to do another character profile...

It's ok, you can go directly to the assistant for such a trivial matter, anyway, a gold medal screenwriter will definitely not do such a thing.

This shows how much Li Chungang attaches great importance to the drama "Sword Come"!

"Come on, everyone, keep eating, don't stop completely." Zhao Ziyun is definitely a good hand at warming up the scene and creating the atmosphere. Inside the palace walls, the ones that could be eaten in the past were basically the nobles of the royal family, so it’s not like we can easily taste them for tens of thousands.”

"It is estimated that the second generation like you will feel that the price of a dish of tens of thousands is easy to taste."

Li Chungang secretly thought in his heart, you must know that less than a year ago, he was probably still living in the farmer's house left by Pengcheng's parents. Of course, it must be useless for him now. That's the problem.

What's more, Zhao Ziyun didn't have the slightest malice when he said this.

Several people who heard the words also took up their chopsticks again, and the atmosphere in the banquet was harmonious and harmonious.

During this period, Li Chungang also took time to discuss the content of the play with the director Hou Yi. Of course, the director Hou Yi was asking more questions. He was explaining the intention of doing so in the script to the other party. This kind of opportunity is quite rare. .

To know……

In domestic director circles, TV drama directors and movie directors are two different things. The latter is naturally more important and rare in the eyes of the industry. Simply put, TV drama directors are easy to get, but movie directors are hard to find. .

Of course, it doesn't mean that TV drama directors are 100% inferior to film directors, it can only be said that there is a high probability.

However, when a TV drama director is filming a TV drama, he will strictly follow the content of the script during the shooting process, instead of filming and filming to think something is not right or a line is wrong like a movie director. It's too suitable, and I can change it if I say it on the spot.

Chapter 409 Casting Auditions

From time to time, the headlines of actors playing big names are exposed, making many people who don't know the truth mistakenly think that the biggest names in a crew are all actors, but they are not.

Except for a very small number of superstar-level artists, the real power in the crew is the producer, who is fully responsible for all affairs, whether it is finding scripts, sponsoring sponsors, finding actors to prepare the crew, etc., almost all are in charge of the producer .

The second is the director, and then it is the turn of the big-name actors in the crew. Ordinary actors are not qualified at all and dare not play tricks. They love to act or not. Without you, Zhang Butcher, how can they still eat hairy pork? There are so many people who can't recognize their identity like this that artists are willing to take over the position.

In the crew, the producer is the real boss who promises everything.

Currently the producer of "Sword Comes" is Gu Wan'er. Although it is only a name, most of the crew's affairs are handled by the agent Situ Rui and the director Hou Yi through negotiation, but as the orders of the boss and investor Gu Wan'er, Situ Rui must carry out of.

After meeting and getting acquainted with director Hou Yi, he also deliberately added the other party's WeChat contact information to learn more about the current situation of the crew.

At first, Hou Yi thought that Li Chungang was worried about his ability as a director, and he was somewhat unhappy. It was just out of politeness, and because Li Chungang himself was also one of the investors of this drama, he patiently answered the other party with a smile. various problems.

But talking and talking...

Hou Yi was surprised to find that Li Chungang, a young man, had as much knowledge of film and television production as he, a real director.

My god, where did this guy come from?

I heard Situ Rui mention it a little bit before. He writes both novels and scripts. To be reasonable, he should be able to write and guess right. How can he be so clear about the director's knowledge?

Could it be that the current web writers are already so cheating, proficient in the encyclopedia of eighteen kinds of martial arts?

Most of Hou Yi's previous understanding of Li Chungang came from Situ Rui.He was very curious about this highly praised genius author and screenwriter, and only after getting in touch with him did he realize that there really are such geniuses in this world.

Not only is he good at writing novels and screenwriting, but he also has good insights in directing. I can only feel that young people today are really amazing.

Little did they know that it was all because Li Chungang spent 111 million to directly unlock the "Director Knowledge and Skills Series" before meeting them, and thus learned a lot of director knowledge, and then took this opportunity to show off his existence in front of Hou Yi feel.

It's just that knowledge belongs to knowledge, and there is still a lot of distance from practical operation!

Li Chungang is confident that with the support of strong theory, he will have the opportunity to direct a TV series or movie in the future. It is estimated that the finished film will not lose to some senior directors in the industry.Of course, this is just a quirk in his head. It's okay to ask him to invest in film and television dramas, but he really doesn't want to be a director.

It is not so easy to be a director who is known as a "studio tyrant". You not only need to live in the town, but also have real materials.

The time and location of the audition have been arranged in advance. The time is set to start at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, and the location will be held in Beijing Film Academy.

—

the next day.

This is the first time for Li Chungang to participate in an open casting audition.In addition to Li Chungang's assistant, producer Situ Rui and director Hou Yi were also in charge of the interview. Zhao Ziyun didn't come due to some personal reasons.

It is very common for film crews to enter the campus for casting auditions. It is very common in Beijing Film Academy. Not to mention every day, but every now and then, there will always be film and television companies or large and small crews coming to conduct this kind of public casting and audition activities.

Those who came to audition were not only students from a school in Beiying, but also students from Chinese opera and Chinese dramas in the same city, and even some people from outside the school sneaked in and mixed in with the casting army, which is commonly known as The army of North Drifters.

Don't think that audition is a very easy thing. There are also many exquisite ones. The top ones are undoubtedly those who have lost their connections. The people who are recruited by various companies through various connections, this unspoken rule can be known after a little thought. up.

Hearing the news, there are quite a few people who came to the scene to participate in the audition. The staff of their "Sword Come" crew have not officially entered the stage yet. There are already active students who have come to line up early in the morning. Long lines of people occupy the entire corridor.

Unexpectedly, the name of a 1.5 million big production could be attracted.You must know that they have written their requirements very clearly during the interview. This is a TV series with a background similar to that of an ancient style, so the minimum requirements for the personnel who come to the casting are male and female.

There is a whole row of beauties and handsome men, a large group of Yingyingyanyan, dressed one by one, and people who don't know the truth passing by at this time will probably have a sense of sight of visiting a high-end club.

Of course, there are also many male characters interspersed in it. In addition to the male lead, there are also many male supporting roles.

After Li Chungang, Situ Rui, and Hou Yi entered the audition room, and there was nothing wrong with getting ready, the audition officially started——

"No. 1 enters." Gu Wan'er's assistant

No. 1 pushed the door open, and at first glance, the first impression was that the four characters were beautiful. After entering the door, he introduced himself very politely, and then stood there waiting for the three interviewers.

The content of the interview was arranged in advance by director Hou Yi, and a small piece of plot content was randomly selected from the script and handed over to the other party for on-the-spot performance.After receiving the content of the random performance, everyone who participated in the audition can have 1 minute of preparation time, and then start the live performance.

The one who can be the first to come in for an audition, no need to think about it, knows that there must be a lot of connections behind the scenes to get into this position, and from the perspective of temperament and image, it is still passable, and the character design can be adjusted through makeup, but I don’t know How is the acting.

Sure enough, although the girl had tried her best, the 1-minute preparation time was a little rushed. During the performance, the lines were a bit intermittent, and the expression was not in place at all. Overall, it was still not satisfactory, maybe Because he was the first to come in, he seemed very nervous.

Li Chungang watched with great interest throughout the whole process, while Situ Rui nodded from time to time while lowering his head to record something in his notebook, while director Hou Yi kept his face expressionless throughout.

"Thank you! You can go out now. If you pass the interview, we will notify you within this week. When you go out, please call No. 2 to come in." The entire interview took less than 3 minutes.

The meaning of going back and waiting is almost the same as refusing.

Therefore, the girl left with a disappointed face. She probably knew in her heart that the chances of this audition were not great. Although she and the people behind her paid the price and relationship to get in the first place, but the acting skills No, no, no, this is a fact that cannot be changed.

Next on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...
