Chapter 638 Talk freely, Xiaodi's performance
Hearing that Zhou Xia was full of praise for the two young actors, Short Dakin was a little surprised.

Although these two have not produced many works in recent years, the roles they played are very amazing. People inside and outside the circle can see it and think that they have great potential.

It's just that these two people seem to be close to something, and they are still far away from becoming superstars. I didn't expect Zhou Xia to praise them so much.

Although Xiao Dasong didn't agree with it, he didn't question it, and continued: "The director's vision is unquestionable. The young actors and actresses who have chosen to cooperate in recent years have also become very popular. Many people say that you are good at digging and cultivating actors. The young actors who participated in your films, Liu Haoran, Song Zuer, and Chen Yao are all developing very well now.

This time, the little girl who plays the heroine’s daughter in "Starting Line" just looks at the performance in the trailer, and I feel that her expressiveness is very good, and it seems to have a bright future in the future. How did you find such an excellent young actor. "

"Hehe, speaking of this young actor, she has already appeared in the media, and her parents are also insiders. She is the daughter of Huang Lei, a teacher at our film school. I saw them in "A Date with Lu Yu". The family of three got impressions on the show, and then they found Teacher Huang Lei before filming, and after going through various tests, she was selected."

In the movie, the heroine and heroine also have a lot of daughter roles, and a sensible five or six-year-old girl is needed to play the role.

Zhou Xia searched for many child stars, but he was not at ease in terms of acting skills. Finally, after passing the test, he assigned homework and asked Huang Lei to guide and train his daughter. Finally, this cooperation came about, and the second season will begin soon. "Where Are We Going, Dad?" The father and daughter will also participate.

"No wonder it's like this. It turns out that I'm a second-generation star. I've been exposed to it since I was a child, so I do have some advantages."

Ai Dasong responded, took a sip of water, and continued to chat casually: "Director Zhou is very good at shooting commercial blockbusters, and he keeps making great progress. Why did he suddenly think of shooting a realistic literary film? It's to fight back some comments that belittle you on the Internet and prove yourself. ?"

Zhou Xia smiled slightly when she heard this question: "There are indeed, to be honest, everyone has self-esteem and wants to prove themselves, but I'm not that impulsive just to shoot a movie just for this.

The main reason is that when the time came, the desire to tell the story I accumulated had reached the point where I couldn't express myself, and I had a subject that I had long been interested in, and the script was finished, so I made such a movie. "

"Director, there's nothing wrong with these words. As expected, it still makes people unable to find any loopholes."

Short and tight, he teased Zhou Xia's sophistication very easily, and continued: "Then, in your opinion, what is the difference between shooting literary films and commercial films? Many people can't shoot one genre well. How did you manage to switch?" The characters were all filmed so successfully."

"I'm also a rookie director, so I dare not say I'm successful, but from my personal experience, regardless of the subject matter, before every director shoots a movie, he must first ask his own heart, what exactly do you want, what do you want to express Self, or do you have other pursuits?
After confirming it, work hard towards this goal. Whether it is casting, shooting, etc., try to do your best. If you don’t have enough experience, you must be good at consulting others and asking for help. If you are successful, you will succeed if you accumulate enough experience over time.

If you want everything from the beginning, if it is obviously a commercial film, but you only care about expressing your own ideas, if it is obviously a literary film, but you want to pursue commercial success, or other factors, when casting, you should not Choose the most suitable one, choose some other actors, these will inevitably reduce the film's points, if there are too many, the result will naturally go without saying. "

Zhou Xia didn't hide his secrets, and continued: "Take my first TV series as an example. At that time, no one believed that I could be a director. It was a problem to hire actors, but I asked Xue Xiaolu, a teacher from our school, to help me. After getting her name, I first raised investment and set up the crew. I also got a lot of doubts during the filming, but as my serious attitude and professional level were shown, the actors gradually recognized me.

After the success of the TV series, I filmed "Charlotte's Annoyance" with less doubts, but the cost was small, the investment was less than 1000 million, and I also found advertising sponsorship. In addition, I used my own money to invest and invited suitable friends to help act. This was the first film to be shot, and everything became better after that. "

"Director Zhou's two experience talks are indeed very useful for reference. In addition to Lu Chuan's method you mentioned before, first create a good script and hire a big star like Jiang Wen, which may also help you of."

"Yes, newcomers, you have to look at the long-term. For example, the director Ding Sheng who filmed "Little Soldier" is the same. Only one script has been favored by Cheng Nong. After shooting that movie, there are now many opportunities." Zhou Xia continued to give examples.

Some young screenwriters and directors always cherish their brooms, fearing that others will pick their peaches and steal their achievements, so they are also afraid of this and that, and dare not do anything, and miss many good opportunities.

Zhou Xia and Ai Dajin recorded this program, there was only an outline, and no specific items were set up. The two of them talked very casually, talking about where is where, but it was basically related to movies.

Although Ao Dasong will make two episodes of the recording this time, due to the simple recording method, two people spent five hours in one afternoon. At six o'clock in the evening, the recording of this program is over, and Zhou Xia will go back to his own Apartment.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and the National Day is coming soon. Although this schedule is not as hot as the summer and Lunar New Year schedules, it has developed in recent years, and the competition is very fierce.

Zhou Xia watched the movie releases in the car these days.

"Zodiac" was released on the 19th, and it has achieved good results in eight days so far. The box office has reached nearly 6 million. There is no problem in hitting a higher box office on the National Day.

However, last week's box office, after the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the market has dropped significantly. The box office of "Zodiac" has also been somewhat sluggish these days, with a single-day box office of up to 4000 million, accounting for 37% of the box office; The weekly accounted for 4083 million and ranked second, with a total of nearly 1.6 million; "Very Lucky" ranked third with 3095 million, with a total of nearly 1.2 million;

However, "Di Renjie", which will be released in the next two days, and "Starting Line", which will be released in the next two days, will have a great impact on these films and change the current film schedule.

Zhou Xia is not so concerned about "Zodiac", he is more concerned about Er Di's performance in the movie and how the audience thinks.

I looked around in online forums, Weibo, and post bars, and found that many people thought that Er Di's performance was amazing, and his acting skills were recognized. Zhou Xia felt very relieved.
