My Animation Era

  Chapter 115 Live-action casting (for subscription)

  Success does not come overnight!

  Whether it's animation, comics, or popular live-action dramas, most of them have gone from "small fire" to "big fire", and eventually became popular all over the country and even the world.

   "Sailor Moon" is no exception.

  Although animation is very popular in Neon now, after being introduced to China, Europe and the United States, it has also created a high ratings, and it can definitely be called a popular masterpiece.

   But let’s be honest…

  In Gu Miao's view, the popularity and popularity of "Sailor Moon" is far from reaching its peak, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

"Really?"

   Returning to Jiangchuan, Ikeda was surprised and said: "The highest ratings have already broken 10%. This is not the peak, so what is the peak?"

   "Highest ratings?"

  Gu Miao smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said that the highest ratings were close to 20% and the average ratings were over 10%?"

"Do not believe!"

   Ikeda shook his head.

  It’s just a girl-themed animation, and the highest ratings breaking 10% is already very impressive. The average ratings are over 10%, do you take those housewife dramas as decorations?

   "It's fine if you don't believe me."

  Gu Miao didn't bother to explain to him what the influence of "Super Popular Animation Breaking Circles" is. Anyway, in the face of the facts, TBS and Ikeda have to believe it or not.

  Ikeda returned to Jiangchuan, not to argue with Gu Miao about the final ratings of the animation "Sailor Moon".

  He is here to "supervise the work"!

  The live-action drama "Sailor Moon" co-produced by Neon TBS and Wanbao Animation will hold a launching ceremony in Jiangchuan.

  TBS is also out of staff.

  Of course they had to send someone to watch over the crew, lest Wanbao mess around and make them take the blame in the end.

  Of course, the supervisor is the supervisor!

  Gu Miao is not afraid of the slanting shadow, and he didn't do any tricks, so he is naturally not afraid of the supervisor sent by TBS.

   Besides, Ikeda is still a good brother.

   Gu Miao didn't have any opinion on this. The only director who had an opinion was Du Hao, who just felt that Ikeda didn't know how to film and might hold him back.

   Speaking of Du Hao...

  Gu Miao was also speechless.

   This hanger really understands filming, especially special dramas. But in the selection of actors, it is true that there is a big problem with aesthetics.

  A while ago, Gu Miao was very busy.

  Because the production of "Dragon Fighter" involved too much energy, he didn't pay much attention to the casting work of the live-action version of "Sailor Moon".

  After the preliminary list was released, Gu Miao looked at the photos of the group of "crooked melons and cracked dates" young actors, and became numb.

  What is this all about?

  Du Hao is indeed very obedient. According to his request, the young actors he found are all pretty, and it is not too much to say "beautiful girl".

   But the figure is too embarrassing!

   It doesn’t matter if there are a few “thick legs and round waists”, but there are also a few “Yordles”. Is this intended to join the bond of six appointments and hold back a three-star little method?

   "You can get out of here quickly."

  The more Gu Miao thought about it, the more angry she became. Regardless of the ongoing production of "Dragon Fighter", she spent two days auditioning hundreds of actors, directly replacing Du Hao's original list.

   "Is this Nima junior high school student?"

  Looking at the list given by Mr. Gu, all of them have long legs, Du Hao couldn't help complaining: "A junior high school student can have such a model figure, I'll eat this camera on the spot!"

   "Don't worry about whether you look like a junior high school student or not, let me ask you a question, do you think body is important to Sailor Moon?"

   "It must be important!"

  Du Hao said without hesitation: "But your long legs are really a bit abstract. I think junior high school students are not so well developed..."

   "Then high school students!"

  Gu Miao waved her hand and said, "Young and beautiful, with a good figure, do you care if she is a junior high school student or a high school student? As long as she is not a college student, I think she is fine!"

   Du Hao was speechless.

  Although he felt that the figures of the actors selected by Mr. Gu did not fit the setting of junior high school students. But I have to admit that the figures of this group of young actors really restore the images of animation and comics.

   Of course, the age does not match!

  It can't be helped...

  If it is true to follow the setting and find young actors around the age of 14, then the entire film and television industry will not be able to find a few who meet the standards.

   Looking for an amateur with no acting skills?

   That's even more nonsense, acting is not just a play. If you find an amateur to play such an important role, what if the performance fails?

  So choose to choose.

  The average age of the final selected young actors is over 14 years old. The actor who plays "Sailor Mars" is the oldest at 18 years old, and the rest are around 16 or 17 years old.

"pretty good."

   Regarding age, Gu Miao's requirements are not very strict. As long as you're under 20, it doesn't matter much.

  The key is acting!

  So what if he looks like a fish but a wild goose? Poor acting, if you can't play the "spirituality" of each sailor soldier, it's also purely useless.

   Fortunately, these actors are all child stars.

   Since I was a child, I have participated in the filming of various film and television dramas, and I have also received professional training. My acting skills and "camera sense" are very good, so there is no need to worry.

   Not every child star has great acting skills. Compared with their age, acting in a play when they were young is definitely a plus.

  There is an actor.

   The rest depends on how Du Hao shoots, because of "Dragon Fighter" and "Sailor Moon", it is impossible for Gu Miao to keep an eye on the crew all the time.

  He can only make a suggestion.

  For example, special effects...

  The live-action version of "Sailor Moon" is a special shooting drama, and special effects and stunt shots are definitely indispensable. There are professional action guides sent by TBS for stunts, but Gu Miao doesn't care much.

   But he was very worried about the special effects.

   "Saving money is a must, because our company really doesn't have much money, and it's impossible to spend a lot of money on special effects for you."

  Gu Miao exhorted: "But saving money doesn't mean that you have to use that 50 cents low-quality light pollution special effect for the whole process, do you understand?"

"I know!"

  Du Hao blinked and said: "Spend the money wisely, some more important shots, then spend more money?"

   That's right!

   This is the truth.

  Because of limited budget, it is impossible to perfect every shot, so we have to make trade-offs.

   For some less important shots, the special effects are almost as bad as they are.

  Critical moments, shots that can stimulate the audience, such as transformation... Then you can spend more money and do it better.

  Du Hao is not too stupid.

  With Gu Miao's reminder, he quickly mastered the correct use of "special effects".

   But he still has a question.

   "Transformation doesn't matter, after all, a scene can be used repeatedly. But what about the special effects of fighting? You can't focus on hand-to-hand combat, right?"

   "Have a problem with hand-to-hand combat?"

  Gu Miao glanced at him strangely, as if curious, why Du Hao would ask such a mentally retarded question.

   Isn't fighting just hand-to-hand combat?

   It's not melee combat, is it still standing still, turning into a magic machine gun and constantly throwing skills?

Dear!

  This is not the fighting style of Sailor Moon!

  My sailor warriors, I don’t like AP outfits, I like pure AD outfits and attack people with basic attacks...

   The epidemic has been repeated, everyone pay more attention!
