Chapter 5 Casting Recommended Candidates

Wei Yang's role was just an appetizer for today. After it was agreed upon, Xia Cong called several company backbones to preside over today's business.

"Director Liu and I read the script. There is no big problem. Director Zheng also nodded, so I announce..."

Xia Cong cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Blue Whale's first film and television project "The Best of Us" is officially launched."

clap clap ~
Everyone in the conference room applauded together. The company has been in operation for nearly two months and finally has a substantial breakthrough. Everyone is very excited.

In the end, Xia Cong announced that he was the chief producer, Sun Wei was the producer, and Liu Junjie was the director.

Then the pre-production of the crew was carried out, tasks were assigned to everyone, some cost calculations, some contacted the location to select scenes, some organized the behind-the-scenes team, some were in charge of logistics, and some started to release...

It can be seen that there are still several brushes inside the Blue Whale, with a clear division of labor and a high degree of professionalism.

Wei Yang observed silently in his seat, and he was relieved.

The quality of the original drama "The Best of Us" was very high, and he was also afraid that he would run into a grass-roots team who would make a good high-scoring drama and waste Wei Yang's expectations, let alone this book.

Fortunately, from the current point of view, the blue whale looks very reliable, and there is no situation that Wei Yang does not want to see.

Most of these tasks have nothing to do with Wei Yang, the screenwriter, but when it comes to the final casting work, Xia Cong looked at Wei Yang.

"Xiao Wei, you are the screenwriter, and you know the character's characteristics and general image best, so we hope you can also join Director Liu's casting team."

"No problem, fully cooperate."

From an examinee to an examiner, Wei Yang accepted it well. It is not uncommon in the industry for screenwriters to participate in casting.

Wei Yang has experienced a lot in his previous life, but any serious crew will refer to the opinion of the screenwriter, but the screenwriter only has the right to make suggestions, and the decision-making power rests with the director and producer.

After the meeting, Liu Junjie dragged Wei Yang, Sun Wei and the assistant director to his office to discuss the casting.

"Xiao Wei, you are the screenwriter, let's talk about your thoughts on the main creative role first, so that we can accurately select the scope of the role."

Wei Yang didn't delay either. He saw that there was a meeting whiteboard in the office, so he directly took a marker to write and talk on it.

"The heroine, Geng Geng, is the most important character in the play. In my opinion, an actor should be cute, preferably with a baby face and big eyes, not tall, playful and lively."

Liu Junjie touched his chin: "How about the Korean Zhang Nala?"

"The image is not bad, but the language is difficult, the mouth shape is strange, and I am afraid that she will not be able to grasp the temperament of domestic high school students."

Wei Yang's words were euphemistic, but the meaning was quite clear, and Liu Junjie gave another candidate.

"Where's Zhang Shaohan?"

"Too thin, but you can try."

Liu Junjie temporarily asked the assistant director to write down the name, and then asked Wei Yang: "Do you have any recommendations?"

"Shu singing is not bad, singer Jinsha, she also performed well in "The Sky", and there is another named Yang Rong, who has acted in "Youth Bao Qingtian 3", I personally recommend it the most."

"Yang Rong..."

Liu Junjie wrote down the name, then looked at Sun Wei: "Does Mr. Sun have any ideas?"

Sun Wei shook his head. He was not sensitive enough to the characters in the script. It was okay to bring in a group of people for him to choose, but it was difficult to pick them up in his own mind.

"Remember these names and inquire about the salary. If it is less than 5 per episode, send an audition invitation directly. If it exceeds 5, we will discuss it later."

Zheng Dong shook hands with the shopkeeper, Xia Cong presided over the overall situation, and Liu Junjie had very high authority in the crew.

"Xiao Wei, let's talk about the hero."

Wei Yang nodded, and wrote down the words [Yu Huai]: "I have a wide range of choices for this role, handsome, youthful and sunny, just these two."

"What's recommended?"

"Hu Ge, but I'm afraid the Tang people won't let him go, and the salary is not low."

"You didn't read the news, Hugo was in a car accident."

Sun Wei reminded that Wei Yang was taken aback, but couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Hu Ge suffered a serious car accident last year. He hadn't been reborn at that time, so he forgot about it.

"It's okay. The range of conditions is easy to choose. Send out invitations directly, and then spread the wind outside. Some of them come to submit their resumes and audition."

Liu Junjie didn't care, most of the time, between the actors and the crew, the latter had to take the absolute initiative.

Wei Yang also understands that, aside from other things, just spread the news today, from the freshman to the senior year, handing over photos and resumes here.

Even not long ago, Wei Yang was occasionally one of them...

"The Best of Us" still has a lot of roles, male and female lead, male second Lu Xinghe, teaching director, female lead's girlfriends, male lead's best buddy, mother-in-law class monitor, new class teacher, female lead's father Barabara, the main characters are the younger two number.

Most of them are young characters. Considering the cost, I am afraid that a large number of new people will be used.

Sun Wei even jokingly said: "Xiao Wei, when your classmate comes for an interview later, you can't open the back door."

"That's over, I want to give you half of the red envelope."

Liu Junjie asked abruptly: "Do male students receive red envelopes, and female students also receive red envelopes?"

"Haha, Director Liu hit the nail on the head."

There was a wine shop yesterday, and today we had a meeting for another day. Everyone's relationship has become closer and familiar, and we can also joke with each other.

"Director Liu, Mr. Sun, the accountant has just made a payment, and I cannot do without the help of the two of you. I treat you, and I hope you will show me your face."

Whether it's working with the crew in the near future or making connections in the circle, Wei Yang intends to build a good relationship with Liu and Sun.

"Okay, today I will be a butcher."

Wei Yang wanted to make good friends with these two "bosses", but after these two days of getting along, Liu and Sun saw Wei Yang's talent and handling of affairs, believed that he had great potential, and were willing to have more contact with him.

"But don't drink today, just eat."

Liu Junjie was knocked down yesterday, and now his head still hurts, and he is a little timid about Wei Yang's drinking capacity.

"I don't drink alcohol. My classmate is from Modu. He told me that there is a time-honored restaurant. It is said that it is a craftsmanship handed down from the Republic of China. The local dishes are very authentic. Do you two want to try the old-fashioned flavor of Shili Yangchang?"

"Go."

He said he didn't drink alcohol, but he couldn't just eat. After tasting the local dishes, Wei Yang arranged two more sessions.

I found a bathing center, took a bath, sauna and massage, and played a few rounds of mahjong.

Maybe it's because they're not familiar with each other, they're still a bit airy, or maybe they're good at it. After playing mahjong, the two of them went back to their respective houses. They didn't go to the third floor, which saved Wei Yang a lot of money.

The four irons in life, although there are no live ammunition, but they have taken a bath together with their chests and stomachs exposed, and they have been massaged in the same room, and they are considered half-iron.

When we parted, Wei Yang's address to Sun Wei had changed from "Mr. Sun" to "Brother Sun".

Liu Junjie is a little older, so it is not easy to be called uncle, so he is still called Director Liu, but the relationship is obviously closer than before.

Get along well with these two, even if Wei Yang Lu Xinghe's role is more than half stable, life in the crew of "The Best of Us" will be much easier.

Declining the warm invitation of the big sister of the technician, Wei Yang came out of the bath center to check out, looking at the high-rise buildings in the night sky of the magic city, he suddenly felt homesick.

Rubbing his face, Wei Yang dismissed those melancholy thoughts.

Sad age is useless, making money is the first priority. I bought a house in Shanghai, brought my parents here, lived with me, and went back whenever I wanted...
