China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 159 Preparations and Lighthouses

Now that he decided to use "Those Years" as the beginning of his directing career, He Hua wanted to make it perfect.

The script needs to be polished and polished, and the barrage in the player must be carefully read again to see if there is any room for improvement. Other youth films of the same type can also be used as a reference.

At the same time, there is another trouble, which is the preparation of the crew.

The production team of Youhua Entertainment is basically focused on the production of "The Age of Awakening", and it is basically impossible to recruit a large number of people.

So now He Hua either waits for the completion of "Age of Awakening", or recruits new staff, but re-establishing the production team, the running-in of the team is also a problem.

He Hua thought for a while, and finally decided to proceed on both sides at the same time.

After all, there is still a gap between the production of movies and the shooting of TV dramas, so we can't simply rely on the company's current team, we still need to find some seniors to guide and guide.

He contacted Jiang Wei, who was teaching at Nortel, and some acquaintances in Chinese opera, hoping they could help recommend some people to come.

In addition, Huang Lan is also actively looking for connections.

In addition to the crew, the rest are the actors, and He Hua has left his favorite actors behind each role.

The male protagonist Ke Jingteng, this character is mischievous and mischievous in the early stage, boring and naive, and he doesn't grow up until he loses it later.

The first one that He Hua clicked was Chen Xiao. As I said before, Chen Xiao's funnyness has a kind of affinity, which will unconsciously make the audience magnify their tolerance for this character.

So playing the male lead by him will make people feel that it was an ignorant behavior when he was young.

Of course, in addition to Chen Xiao, He Hua also filled in the names of Zhu Yilong, Zhang Ruoyun, Li Xian and others in the back, and see if there will be any unexpected surprises when preparing for the audition.

As for Huang Xuan, forget it, he is more suitable for the role of bitterness and hatred, and his height is a flaw.

After the male and female protagonists are settled, the next step is the supporting cast, the male protagonist's four partners who grew up together and the green leaves beside the female protagonist.

Lao Cao who loves to play cool, this character He Hua first thinks of Li Jiahang, his cool play and pretending to be deep will definitely add a touch of fun to the movie.

Then He Hua wrote Li Xian's name again. It should be interesting for him to be handsome.

He Hua felt that there was no need to change the role of the mature and "steady" Ah He. Hao Shaowen's performance was indeed interesting, but he needed to get rid of his crooked accent.

For example, when Ke Tong slapped the sausage flying while eating on a bicycle on the side of the road at the beginning, it could be scolded, which would better highlight their previous intimate relationship.

On the funny side of fraternity, He Hua first thought of Zhang Yishan, the mischievous and funny image in "Family with Children" and the scene of "I want to dye this thing green", He Hua still remembers it so far, I don't know Does he still have the aura of his childhood?

However, Dai Xu from grade 06 and Zhang Zidong from grade 05 are also quite suitable, let's see how they perform in the audition.

In the new script, He Hua modified the image of Bo Chun who was silly in the original work, and turned it into a weak-character Xueba image under the protection of several members of the protagonist group.

At the same time, he is also a branch character who helps the protagonist change from a scumbag to a top student.

The first thing He Hua thought of in this role was Jin Shijia. The Zhan Bo he played in "Love Apartment" kind of fits this character, but his height is a problem, he is too tall.

After thinking for a long time, He Hua still had no idea, so he just let it go first, and let the casting director find someone later.

The last one is Hu Jiawei (Wan Wan). The original work brought back Hu Jiawei as himself, so there is no need for it now. He Hua directly wrote the names of Gao Ye, Reyiza, and Ren Suxi behind the characters.

The rest of the roles, like the hero's parents, the school's dean, the teacher, and finally the groom, are left to the casting director to worry about.

"Hua Zi, this is Mr. Zhao Fei Zhao, the master of the photography department."

"I know, Mr. Zhao, sit down, and I'll pour tea for you, thank you for coming to help."

When He Hua saw Jiang Wei bringing an unattractive middle-aged man into the office, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a master of photography. He has served as the photographer of Huang Jianzhong, Tian Zhuang, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Woody Allen, Jiang Wen and many other great directors.

Assisted them in filming excellent films such as Raise the Red Lantern, Be There or Be Square, and The Sun Also Rises.

And he has won numerous awards and is an internationally recognized photography master.

He Hua felt that if he invited this person, the chances of winning the movie would be a little higher.

After a few words, Zhao Fei asked about the movie.

He Hua took out the storyboards he had drawn to ask Zhao Fei for advice, while talking about the crew's arrangements;
".The current preliminary plan is to start operation in early May."

Jiang Wei helped find Zhao Fei. Gu Yan also recommended two senior practitioners to help. In addition, the school also recommended a group of graduating seniors from the director department. He Hua was a little speechless.

However, the crew is slowly building up.

Of course, while preparing the crew, He Hua did not forget another important task.

That is to form an animation company.

The name of the company has been decided, and it is called Lighthouse Animation, which will illuminate the future of the animation industry like a lighthouse.

He Hua also did research to know the current dilemma of domestic animation films.

It's not just the lack of funds and stories, the most important thing is the lack of sense of direction. I don't know which direction to work hard, and everyone does their own thing.

Some companies simply turned their business focus to training, outsourcing, processing and the production of TV animation after the failure of self-government.

Others are still struggling to move forward in the dark.

After serious consideration, He Hua decided that the lighthouse animation should move forward on two legs.

On the one hand, go out to study and bring back the advanced things of Hollywood animation production companies.

The process of a [-]D cartoon from production to sales is very complicated.

It includes pre-planning, story script, character setting, scene setting, storyboard, etc., to mid-term modeling, action, texture, lighting, special effects, post-production synthesis, dubbing, music, etc., to final sales, etc.

Multi-faceted professionals are needed, and it is not an easy task to integrate these professionals and departments into an organic whole so that their operations can be coordinated and perfectly coordinated.

So how do you get Hollywood to open up these links to itself?
Naturally, they have enough benefits.

For this reason, He Hua has prepared two stories, one protagonist is white and the other is gray, and he plans to go to Pixar, DreamWorks, and Disney to try one by one.

On the one hand, an influential animation film should be produced as soon as possible, so that more people can pay attention to this industry and attract young people to join in.

In this regard, He Hua's choice is "White Snake: Origin"

After operating in this way, it will take five or eight years to train a group of professional talents. By then, the company will be able to make steady progress just in time for the market to take off.
