I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 53 [Audition]

According to Zhang Xueming's intention, Lu Zhengyi opened the email and replied emails to the persons in charge of several platforms to understand the situation.

Then, he didn't pay attention to the mailbox.

Lu Zhengyi also understands such things as waiting for a price and ordering food off the plate.

He sent the 'consultation fee' mainly to continue the conversation along this topic, to see if he could get some additional information.

After all, compared to himself as a director, Zhang Xueming is backed by Guangying Company, and his main business is to connect with various platforms. In terms of news channels, he must be wider than himself.

Only by fully understanding the competition of these video platforms can he maximize his profits.

But for now, Zhang Xueming doesn't seem to have any useful information.

As for "after-sales service", Lu Zhengyi didn't pay much attention to it.

He still trusts Zhang Xueming.

After all, they are now working together for the second time, so they are considered their own.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhengyi paused when he planned to turn off the computer.

Then, he continued typing on the computer, "The book "Curse" is almost ready."

"The filming location is set to be in Taicheng. The props, costumes and venues have been communicated one after another. For the actors, we will prepare for the audition tomorrow."

"I estimate here that the machine will start up on time next month. By then, are you interested in attending?"

After all, the other party is an investor. Zhang Xueming contacted him today, and he just reported the progress of the work.

Regarding this point, it was not there when I was filming "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village".

Director Liu, who was in charge of the "Mountain Village Old Corpse" project at the beginning, probably did not intervene in the crew's affairs because of his personal habits.In other words, he didn't feel that he could make a good movie at all. All in all, he didn't ask the crew to report on the progress or anything like that.

However, Lu Zhengyi did not acquiesce that all the people in charge of Light and Shadow Media are like this because of the previous situation.

Therefore, he still talked to Zhang Xueming, the person in charge of the signed project.

After discussing with Zhang Yu about the shooting location of "The Curse", he finally decided on Taicheng.

The folk atmosphere here is very good, which is very suitable for continuing to shoot.

In order to shorten the shooting cycle, after Lu Zhengyi applied for the record at the headquarters of Tang Guo Film and Television, he arranged for the work to be carried out through multiple channels at the same time.

He and Zhang Yu were in charge of auditions for actors.

Others are currently preparing the props, equipment, and personnel needed for shooting.

If all goes well, the entire production crew can officially start the production immediately after the license for the record is issued.

Compared with "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", Lu Zhengyi did it by himself a little bit, and prepared for more than half a year.

This time, he has Zhang Yu as his assistant director, Ajie from the props team, Wei Kang from the photographer, Xiaowei from the make-up team, Bai Wei from the field record...

There are also Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming, two actors who have been directly confirmed.

It can be said that when the script is produced, most of the crew members are assembled.

And compared to Lu Zhengyi, who was completely like a novice Xiaobai in the first filming, this time, he has a lot more experience.

On the message box, Zhang Xueming waited for a while before replying a few messages, "It depends on the situation, I may not have time."

"I'm currently competing with the "Slanted Moon" project, and the competition is fierce."

"Anyway, I don't know anything about filming. Just let it go. Just... don't spend too much money."

Having already said so, there is a high probability that he will not be there.

Lu Zhengyi knew it very well, anyway, he just mentioned it casually.

The two of them didn't talk much, and after saying something to each other to take a break, the scrolling of the message box stopped.

……

"There are a lot of people auditioning today, mainly for the heroine and Xiao Letong. There are also a few supporting roles that need to be looked for."

I temporarily asked for a spacious room with the hotel, cleaned it up briefly, set up a fixed camera position, and arranged for a follow-up photographer. Lu Zhengyi and the others began to wait for the outside actors to enter.

As for Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming, they did not participate.

As actors, they also have a lot of things to prepare for the next filming.

"Two directors."

Soon, a very sweet-looking woman with long hair and fashionable clothes walked into the room. "My name is Yu Wenxiu. I am 33 years old and graduated from..."

Yu Wenxiu walked into the room and gave a brief introduction.

The main content is the school he graduated from and several online dramas and a TV series he has participated in, but they are all small supporting roles, basically without even a fan.

Lu Zhengyi exchanged glances with Zhang Yu.

Then, he replied, "Teacher Yu, I would like to ask first, what is your understanding of this role?"

In tone, it is more polite.

Although the scene in front of me is a bit like a talent show, the situation is completely different.

The news of their crew's preparations has not been spread.

Those who can come here to audition are all internal actors or people they know themselves, or some people recommended by school teachers, and they are considered to be screened.

He is not young, and has certain experience and acting skills, but his reputation is relatively average.

The last point was specifically requested by Lu Zhengyi.

He just wants to find some unknown actors to cooperate with, such people are easy to handle.

If he hires an actor who is famous, has a bad temper, and is not easy to get along with, he is really afraid that he will break people in the crew.

"I think this role is very selfish."

"Compared to defining her with the personality of a mother, I am more inclined to use the term of a woman to describe her."

"After all, she and her so-called boyfriend can engage in such dangerous activities during pregnancy..."

Yu Wenxiu talked eloquently, and did some serious research based on the rough script given by their crew.

At the same time, her words were also vaguely expressing why she appeared in such a dress today.

Rather than say, like the requirements in the plot, a mother image.

Yu Wenxiu believes that a youthful, beautiful, playful, selfish and even a little bit out of mind image is more suitable for this heroine.

Lu Zhengyi listened to the news silently, and after she stopped narrating, he thought about the Li Ruonan she was talking about in his heart.

What he needs now is not just relying on the plots and pictures he saw in his previous life to confirm.

Instead, I have to try to figure out the directing skills I have learned during this period.

Just like "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", the content that is applicable to my previous life, if I copy it in this life, because of the environment and time, it may not be applicable.

Therefore, Lu Zhengyi needs to shoot his own content, and needs to make the movie that only exists in his mind more suitable for this Tang Dynasty, which is very similar to his previous life.

"Then... Teacher Yu, please play this part of the story."

After a simple silence, Lu Zhengyi handed a script to Yu Wenxiu, "We won't talk about drama, you can roughly use your knowledge and ability to interpret Li Ruonan in this clip."
