Chapter 23: Do you consider favors or works when filming? (twenty two)

"Okay, now that we have decided on the candidates for Zhang Dongsheng and Zhu Yongping, let's discuss other roles. For the role of Zhu Chaoyang, does Brother Ye have any familiar young actors to recommend?"

Yang Yi took out an A4 paper with a list of characters printed on it, first circled the names of "Zhang Dongsheng" and "Zhu Yongping", and then pointed to the name of "Zhu Chaoyang" to discuss with Ye Fuming.

"It's a bit difficult to find a suitable actor for the role of Zhu Chaoyang. He is both good and evil. The child who plays him must have a deep understanding of acting skills and cannot just act in his true colors."

Ye Fuming scratched his head a little when he saw this name.

"Yes, on the surface, he should be a thin and small boy, he should not be too handsome, he should be well-behaved, but he must act that kind of viciousness when he turns black."

Yang Yi felt that it was indeed very difficult for him to shoot such a drama with many children's characters.

For the film and television industry, it is not difficult to shoot adults' scenes. What everyone is most afraid of is filming children and animals!

Needless to say, when shooting animals, you can't communicate at all. You can only look at the ability of the animal trainer or the CG skills in the later stage.

Shooting children is even more troublesome. You have to find the right child and communicate with him carefully, hoping that he can perform the effect the director wants.

Shooting scenes with babies was okay, at most it just took a little longer to shoot a few more scraps, and babies don’t have that many complicated thoughts.

But for movies like "The Hidden Corner", the pictures are all about half-grown children, neither above nor below, and each child has his own personality and his own calculations, almost requiring the children to perform as children should. It is innocent and innocent, but also requires them to perform the complexity of the characters in the play.

Where can I find so many kids with good acting skills?

Just thinking about it gives me headaches!

"Should we not study these children now? We will discuss it slowly later. If it doesn't work, we will issue an announcement asking parents who have children who want to act to bring their children to audition."

Ye Fuming also felt his head was heavy.

"Okay, let's talk about these characters. One is Police Officer Chen. He has a lot of roles, and his role runs through the whole play, which is also relatively important. Then there is Ye Jun, who is also a policeman. Brother Ye, you Do you think it would be better for Ye Jun to let Brother Jun play the role, or let Brother Ma play the role?"

Yang Yi will definitely arrange roles for several brothers.

Officer Chen is not suitable for Zhang Jiajun and Ma Shiqing because Officer Chen is a little older and is about to retire.

"Zhang Jiajun is better as Ye Jun because he has a more positive image. Xiao Ma can play someone else, such as Wang Li."

Ye Fuming's advice is more pertinent.

Ma Shiqing's image is not good, he looks rather ugly and does not fit the image of "Ye Jun" in Yang Yi's mind.

It doesn't match the original show either.

But let Ma Shiqing play Wang Li?

Wang Li is extremely vicious, and his image in the play is the most villain-like, which indeed fits Ma Shiqing's image better.

"But isn't Wang Li's role too small? Will Brother Ma be unhappy?"

Yang Yi was a little embarrassed.

Wang Li's role is very small. Others have several episodes, but he only plays in two episodes, which adds up to less than one episode.

Wang Li looked like a villain but had no brains, and was easily killed by Zhang Dongsheng in the end.

"When you are a director, do you think about human feelings or works when you shoot a movie?"

Ye Fuming asked directly.

It also made Yang Yi completely understand his position.

Yes!

He is the director!

Not only must he have absolute control over the show, but he must also be responsible for the final effect of the show.

What to shoot, how to shoot, and who to shoot, the starting point for his consideration should always be whether it is suitable for his work!Not whether it will hurt anyone’s feelings!

If it's the latter, then why does he want to shoot it himself and why should he invest his own money?

Isn’t it enough to just copy out the script, give it to someone else’s film company, and wait for the money to be distributed?

If he doesn't have his own control and his own will to affect the final effect, what's the point of filming this scene?

"Brother Ye, I understand!"

Yang Yi nodded, and wrote the names of Zhang Jiajun and Ma Shiqing above Officer Chen Guansheng and Wang Li's names respectively.

"You have to choose the role of father-in-law and mother-in-law carefully. They don't have many roles, but if you want to make the audience gnash their teeth and even feel sympathy for Zhang Dongsheng, you need better acting skills!"

Ye Fuming pointed at the names Xu Guangshan and Bi Shuxian.

We haven’t decided what role Liao Chunsheng will play yet!

Yang Yi originally wanted to study which role Liao Chunsheng would play next.

However, with the change in his thoughts just now, he is no longer in a hurry to think about his little brother. He will discuss the important roles first!

"Brother Ye, do you have any suitable veteran actors to recommend? We can show them the script and let them have a try."

Yang Yi's tone changed slightly from before.

In the past, he listened to Ye Fuming's opinions respectfully. Although he is still more respectful now, he is no longer following Ye Fuming's orders.

He said that he wanted to give it a try, which meant that those actors he was not very familiar with needed to audition, and only after passing his approval could the candidates for these roles be finalized!

"We have to find professionals to play the parents. I couldn't think of Xu Guangshan for a while, but for the roles of Xu's mother and Bi Shuxian, I suddenly thought of someone, Mr. Shi Jianqin!"

When Ye Fuming said the name, he looked at Yang Yi's face with a smile, knowing that he would definitely respond.

"Teacher Shi? Ask her to play Xu's mother?"

Yang Yi really opened his mouth in surprise.

Of course Mr. Shi Jianqin knew it, and he was quite familiar with it!

Because Shi Jianqin is an acting teacher at Beijing Film Academy, when Yang Yi went to audit classes in the acting department, teacher Shi Jianqin would often catch him asking questions.In the words of Teacher Shi, since he is here to audit, he must be held to the standards of a student in the performance department.

Back then when he was embarrassed by the question and laughed out loud when he performed on stage, he never lost his grudge against this strict little old lady!

But now when I think back, I can no longer find the unbearable emotions I felt back then, only nostalgia and regret remain.

Nostalgic for the carefree student life at that time.

It’s a pity that I didn’t learn the real skill back then!

It was only after I was in the society and bumped into walls everywhere that I realized that what the little old lady taught was all her years of experience in filming, which were very useful skills!

"Teacher Shi is a professional mother. It will be absolutely no problem for her to play your role."

Ye Fuming was also taught by teacher Shi Jianqin.

"But, would Teacher Shi be willing to act in a movie made by a nobody like me?"

Yang Yi hesitated a little.

He originally thought that the actors he would find for his play would either be relatively familiar street actors, such as those from the League of Losers, or older actors who were not that famous but had decent acting skills.

Teacher Shi Jianqin?

There is nothing to say about Mr. Shi Jianqin's acting skills, and his acting as a mother is top-notch.

But even if she plays supporting roles all year round and can be considered a professional in supporting roles, no one dares to say that her reputation is not good!

She will be asked to act in CCTV's major new year dramas, not to mention those well-known directors and well-known film and television companies.

Who is Yang Yi?

A failed Beijing Film Academy graduate, an [-]th-tier actor, and an unknown director who has never made a film. How could he hire her?

Moreover, will Mr. Shi's salary be very high?

"How are you a nobody? Teacher Shi even remembers your name! Last month, I went back to school to visit her and talked to her about you."

Ye Fuming smiled and took out his mobile phone.

"What? Brother Ye, you went to visit Teacher Shi. Why did you mention me?"

Yang Yi covered his forehead.

Last month, what was I?

Nothing!

It doesn't matter if you can't get any grades, and you gave up your acting career in order to get married.

Ye Fuming still mentioned himself to Teacher Shi at that time, wouldn't that be embarrassing to the teacher?

"You are my good brother, and didn't you say that you were very active in school back then, across two major departments, and everyone knew everyone? Teacher Shi still remembers you."

Ye Fuming didn't know what he pressed on his phone, and he clicked the release button. The "beep" sound of the WeChat video call rang in the box of the teahouse.

"I was drunk at that time. A hero does not mention his bravery. Wait, Brother Ye, who are you calling?"

Yang Yi's reaction was a little slow, and he realized that Ye Fuming was on a video call halfway through speaking.

"Teacher Shi! She should be resting at home at this time, right?"

Ye Fuming looked at the phone screen, waiting for the video call to be connected.

"No, why are you calling Teacher Shi? I'm not sure yet."

Yang Yi panicked, and was about to say that he had not prepared anything, and when he urged Ye Fuming to hang up, the beeping sound of Ye Fuming's cell phone suddenly stopped.

The box instantly became quiet, and the air seemed to freeze.

Yang Yi felt as if his throat had been strangled, he didn't dare to make any more noise, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Until a somewhat unfamiliar, but still vaguely familiar voice came——

"Hello, Xiaoye."

"Teacher Shi! Good evening. Are you at home after get off work?"

Ye Fuming greeted Teacher Shi Jianqin relatively easily.

Because he has won international awards before and has his own understanding and persistence in acting, Ye Fuming is often invited by the school to share his acting experience with the freshmen, so he is also familiar with Teacher Shi Jianqin.

"Good evening, good evening."

"Well, yes, I have been at home for a long time. There are no classes this afternoon."

Teacher Shi Jianqin is in her 60s. Although she couldn’t tell when she was filming, on TV she looks like a person in her 50s with makeup on, and she looks like a person in her [-]s, but she still doesn’t look young when using these electronic devices. People are flexible.

She would listen to a passage of Ye Fuming's speech in two parts.

"Mr. Shi, do you still recognize who is the classmate sitting next to me?"

Holding the phone, Ye Fuming moved his butt and leaned towards the resisting Yang Yi.

"Hello, Mr. Shi."

The cameras were all pointed at him, and Yang Yi could only force a smile, waved to teacher Shi Jianqin, and said hello.

"Let me see"

Shi Jianqin pushed up his reading glasses and took a serious look.

Her next words made Yang Yi's emotions suddenly surge, and tears suddenly filled his eyes.

"Isn't this the Yang Yi from grade 09 who often comes to my class to listen to lectures?"
