China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 141 Actors determine roles
Just after she and Liu Yifei finished talking about money, and before she had time to ask her the purpose of coming today, Xiaoting found Sun Yi and whispered:
"Brother Yi, Mr. Yang said that his side is finished and it's your turn to take charge."

As a producer, Yang Fan, except for some crew members, equipment, props, etc., other work can only be implemented after director Sun Yi completes the overall shooting plan. Therefore, at this time, Sun Yi must take the lead.

Sun Yi was in a dilemma. There were more than a dozen people waiting for him upstairs and he had to hurry over.

The fairy sister Liu Yifei here specially came to her studio, and she obviously seemed to have something to do.Besides, he had just collected someone's money, so he couldn't just leave them waiting here. He himself didn't know how long this meeting would last.

Before Sun Yi could speak, Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"What kind of meeting are you having? Xinxin and I will wait for you here for a while."

"I don't know how long the film project preparatory meeting will take."

"Movie? Are you going to act in a movie again? What role will you play?"

"Those Years" has just been released, and Sun Yi has held a film preparation meeting again. The speed at which he accepted the film surprised the fairy sister who is usually somewhat Buddhist.

"This time it's not an act, it's my movie. I'm the director and I direct it independently."

Hearing this, the expression on Liu Yifei's face became even more exciting, and her eyes widened.

When Sun Yi was the assistant director on the crew of "Those Years", she had already seen that Sun Yi had talent and ambition in this area, but she never expected that Sun Yi would execute it so quickly.

In shock, the question just popped out of his mouth.

"What movie?"

"It's a realistic theme, reflecting the struggle of the low-level people in their destiny."

Realistic themes, low-level people, fate, and struggle.

This sounds very noble.

At this time, Liu Yifei still harbored the ideal of becoming a great actor, and was far from the shabby actor who was hacked and brainwashed by chicken soup in later generations.

Upon hearing about this type of movie, the look of yearning on Liu Yifei's face was palpable.

Seeing how Liu Yifei was curious about the baby, Sun Yi asked tentatively.

"How about you also listen in?"

"Well, I'm going to attend your internal meeting. It's not good."

If you say this and show your teeth without smiling, I will believe you.

Sun Yi looked at the fairy sister who was eager to try, and complained helplessly in his heart.

If it were anyone else, Sun Yi would never agree to it, because it involves project confidentiality, but Sister Shenxian, how should I put it?

Counting the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the two have collaborated twice, and Liu Yifei's character is obviously not capable of doing those dirty things.Besides, since my script has been filed and endorsed by China Film, there will basically be no problems.

Therefore, in this matter, she didn't have the heart to be wary of Liu Yifei.

Just think of it as a way to increase her knowledge.

"It's okay, let's go together. Just think of it as a lesson in film preparation. It just so happens that you can give me some advice from an actor's point of view. Three cobblers can stand up to one Zhuge Liang, right?"

"You are the cobbler!"

"Okay, okay, I am, okay."

"That's fine."

Hey, I agreed reluctantly.
Come to the conference room on the second floor.

As soon as everyone in the room saw Liu Yifei, whether they knew her before or not, their eyes were locked on her face.

"No need for me to introduce it to you. My friend, Liu Yifei, is here to study today."

"Hello everyone, hello senior brother, hello senior sister."

"well"

Liu Yifei greeted her sweetly, which aroused exclamations of surprise.

Sun Yi was a little disdainful.

A bunch of people who have never seen the world.

Yang Fan's expression was a bit playful, and his eyes kept scanning Liu Yifei and Sun Yi's bodies, trying to find some clues.

After Liu Yifei took her seat, Sun Yi walked to the stage and said seriously:

"Manager Yang should have finished talking about the preliminary preparations just now. Now let me talk about the specific shooting plan."

"First of all, "The Unknown" is a low-budget movie, and it tells the story of small people. It is the story of a group of people in desperate situations who each fight desperately to prove their worth."

"So, I think the overall shooting style of the film should be grounded and return to reality, so that the audience feels that this is a story that happens among us ordinary people."

"According to the script, the story takes place in a small town in the southwest. I got a preliminary understanding of it. There is a small city called Duyun at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou. I think it is very suitable, but after all, I have never been there. So, Brother Liu, Please bring a camera crew to survey the scene in advance and bring back some materials." "Don't worry, it's no problem."

This choice was made by Sun Yi based on the shooting location of the original film in his previous life. If nothing unexpected happens, it can be decided directly, which can save a lot of time in selecting locations.

"If the city is suitable, then the communication with the local government and relevant units will be handed over to China Film. Regarding this, Brother Fan, please contact the producers of China Film."

"Well, tomorrow I will discuss the specific contract with China Film Group and implement it directly into the contract."

Sun Yi nodded in approval.

Seeing Sun Yi standing in front, his heroic appearance and all the plans arranged in an orderly manner, Liu Yifei suddenly felt hot in her heart.

At this moment, she felt that Sun Yi was so powerful, and she admired him inexplicably.

"As for the specific selection of actors, I will talk about my views first, and then we will discuss it."

"First of all, the protagonist Ma Xianyong is the key figure in the whole story. All the plots revolve around him. The background of the character is a middle-aged man, an ordinary security guard. He is slovenly and vulgar, but he has a sense of dissatisfaction in his heart. The spirit of bowing to fate. This is a typical character whose ambitions are unfulfilled."

"This role first requires age, experience, and acting skills of a sufficiently high level. The two candidates I have currently proposed are Zhang Guoli and Chen Jianbin."

I chose Zhang Guoli, firstly, because the other party had shown me kindness in this life, and it was easy to repay him.Second, the other party is indeed suitable, both in terms of acting skills and overall role fit.

Zhang Guoli's acting career is very wide. He can play high-profile figures such as presidents and emperors, as well as marginal roles such as beggars and peasants. And it is not inconsistent at all. In addition to his superb acting skills, he is an ordinary railway worker who started from scratch. The life experiences we have had all the way to where we are today are also closely related.

Chen Jianbin is the impression that the original film brought to Sun Yi, and his acting is quite good, and he can be regarded as a true star. However, at this stage, in terms of relationship and reputation, he can only rank second choice, and Zhang Guoli is the first choice.

Everyone nodded in agreement with this two-person choice.

Sun Yi continued:

"Next is a pair of robbers, Hu Guangsheng and Li Haigen. These are two very distinctive characters in the script. As a pair of fellow villagers who came from the same mountains, they have different personalities, but they have a sincere friendship with each other."

"Hu Guangsheng, nicknamed Glasses, is a tough-looking character with a humble heart, no culture, no ability, but always wants to stand out. As a robber, he just wants to prove himself and be respected by others. This is what he is Hold on to the dream, even if this dream is shattered by fate, and the only dignity in your heart is ruthlessly trampled by life."

"Li Haigen, nicknamed Big Tou, is a kind and innocent person. His dream is just to get married and live a stable life. However, due to the tricks of fate, he chose to become a robber for the sake of love and friendship. "

"Both these two characters are representatives of the lower class, small people and unknown people, but they also have dreams and dignity."

"So these two characters are very important. At present, I can only think of Zhang Yi as a candidate. Do you have any other recommendations?"

Everyone present had read the script in advance and started talking about it.

Big-name stars are not available. They are small-budget productions with limited funds. The salaries of big-name stars are too high, so they can only choose from cheap actors with superb acting skills but not well-known.

Everyone discussed it a lot, but they never came to a unified opinion.

Sun Yi was also thinking in his mind at the moment.

Zhang Yi definitely wants to use it because he has already signed a contract with the studio and the money will not go to outsiders.

The other one, he really didn't think about it for a while.

Some things happened suddenly in the preparation of this project. He originally imagined that he would start preparations after the Chinese New Year, so he did not make arrangements in advance for the actors.

If it doesn't work out, just go for an audition and see.

"I can't choose anyone, so you'll be the one to play!"

Ok?
Sun Yi looked at Yang Fan who made the suggestion. The latter shrugged, looking like "Am I right?"

I play?

Sun Yi then thought about it.

That’s okay too.

He's not too young, so he thinks he can handle it with his acting skills. Moreover, as a group movie, there aren't too many roles for a single character, so it won't delay his career as a director.

"Indeed, Xiaoyi, you are quite suitable."

"Hmm, yes."

"I can see it."

Everyone in the studio also agreed.

"Yeah, okay, I'll play one."

"Then let's move on and talk about the heroine."

　Sorry, it's a little late.

　　Ask for recommendations, ask for monthly tickets, ask for subscriptions.

　　Thank you!
