Chapter 43 Casting [Please read]

"Send You a Little Red Flower" is a drama starring Yi Yang Qianxi and Liu Haocun. It tells the story of the cancer-fighting stories of two families, Wei Yihang, a boy suffering from cancer, and Ma Xiaoyuan, a girl. It reflects on the future of facing the disease. This is a life proposition that every ordinary family will face at this time.

When Sun Yi guessed that it was about patients, this was the first thing that came to his mind.

In the conference room, Jiang Wei took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one, lit it with a "pop" sound, took a puff, threw the cigarette onto the conference table, and said:

"Hiss. Then the script is decided. Later, Xiao Xue, you can help Sun Yi think about the lines together."

Xue Xiaolu on the side nodded. This kind of story of youthful love and family warmth is what she is good at.

Tian Zhuang and Wang Jinsong each took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and lit it.

"Sure, then I will arrange the location selection, venue and studio according to this book."

"Then I'll start screening actors."

Sun Yi didn't interrupt, silently stood up, opened the small window of the conference room halfway, and then returned to his seat.

Tian Zhuang picked up the script again and flipped through it, calculating in his mind. After a while, he said with some distress:
"Tsk, Mr. Wang, Mr. Jiang, there is a problem. The budget is a bit not enough. The limit given by the production center is 180 million. The machines and equipment here are all at the teaching price. The studio only charges water and electricity fees. The personnel You can also just get a subsidy and no salary, but the location is not cheap and it will probably exceed the budget."

After hearing this, Jiang Wei thought about it for a while, nodded and said:
"Indeed, Sun Yi's book has a lot of outdoor scenes, and he even had to go to Qinghai. We in the literature department are all suffering, and we must have no money. If it's really not possible, we can only adjust the plot and delete the outdoor scenes."

When Sun Yi heard this, he became anxious.

In the previous life, "A Little Red Flower for You" was a theatrical movie with a length of 120 minutes. This time the movie channel's customized project is a TV movie with a maximum length of 100 minutes, which is already 20 minutes less.

He has racked his brains to delete and modify some high-tech plots of later generations, such as V-letters and live broadcasts. He has replaced these with QQ and space, and the corresponding plots have also been reduced. .

In terms of characters, the scenes of the leader of the patient group were also greatly deleted. The original film implicitly mentioned the same-sex identity and background of the leader of the patient group. Sun Yi felt it was completely unnecessary. Even if he didn't delete it, the movie channel would have to. Kill him.

That's it, and in the end it only barely lasted about 100 minutes. If it were any shorter, the story would not be complete enough. This is his first film as a leading actor, and of course he wants to pursue perfection.

Tian Zhuang saw Sun Yi's eagerness and smiled:
"Hey, this kid is anxious. I can understand your feelings, but there is no way. The reality is like this. It is impossible for the production center to add more money."

"I'll pay for it myself, okay?"

"Of course not. This is not a commercial movie for theaters. This is a cooperation project between the movie channel and Beijing Film Studio. It doesn't matter if you personally pay for it."

Director Jiang Wei ruthlessly refuted Sun Yi's proposal.

Wang Jinsong thought for a while and said slowly:
"Tsk, our acting department still has a budget of 30 yuan, but this money is used to prepare for the graduation drama of the 02-level acting class next year. It can be moved, but after this money is moved."

"Director, can I personally invest in this graduation drama?"

Wang Jinsong glanced at Sun Yi specifically, laughed secretly in his heart, and then said seriously:
"Theoretically, it's not possible, but as a student of Beijing Film Academy's acting department, your status is barely acceptable." Then the conversation changed, "How are you going to invest?"

"I'll pay for the movie, and I can let my brothers and sisters participate in it." Sun Yi answered happily.

"Hey, I didn't realize it. He's still a little rich man. Ah, it's exposed now, hahaha."

Director Tian Zhuang pointed at Sun Yi and laughed at everyone. Several teachers present also made fun of Sun Yi.

This is the first cooperation between Beijing Film Academy and the Movie Channel. It must strive for excellence. The first film has a good reputation and has a "good start". Will there be a second and third films next year? Movies every year With so much money in the fund, how can these directors not be greedy?

Now Sun Yi provided money to support them, of course they were very happy.But at this moment, Sun Yi was not thinking about this little money.

The film must be made by itself. Instead of looking for outsiders, it is better to cooperate with Beijing Film Academy and use the resources of the school. This is something that no one can ask for.The cost is low, professionals can be selected at will, and there are professional guidance from teachers. Well, this wave of profit is huge.

Everyone laughed for a while. Wang Jinsong put out his cigarette butt and said to Sun Yi:

"One million is not a small number. Have you thought about it?"

"Director, don't worry. Next year we will directly make the graduation drama into a movie and put it in theaters. One million is not enough. I can add more. I have issued a military order."

Sun Yi was still afraid that Wang Jinsong would regret it, so he agreed swiftly.

Wang Jinsong chuckled. He liked Sun Yi very well now and was willing to give him this opportunity, so he agreed:
"Okay, it's settled then. Our performance department will move 30 over."

"Okay, Lao Wang, now that we have enough funds and the script has been finalized, I will arrange the crew. Only the actors are left. Let's finalize it together today." Director Tian Zhuang concluded.

Wang Jinsong nodded and agreed:
"Okay, let's hurry up. I suggest that we use all actors from Beijing Film Academy as a contribution to the school's education. I believe the old alumni will have this awareness."

When Tian Zhuang heard this, he agreed very much. He opened the character introduction in the script, glanced at it and said:

"Well, this is a good idea. In the script, in addition to the male and female protagonists, there are four main characters, the male protagonist's father, mother, the female protagonist's father, and a patient group leader. What do you think?"

"That's what male dads use."

"He's too young, so who should he replace him with?"

"I'm not worried about her acting skills. Isn't she a bit young in age?"

"The script sets the hero's mother to be in her early 40s. She's about the same age. Her makeup and makeup are a bit older, so that's not a big problem."

"The heroine's father doesn't have many roles. He's a big deal now. Can he come?"

"I invite you in the name of the school, and he will definitely give me the honor."

"There aren't many leading roles among patients, just my former student Xiao Xing."

The teachers discussed the specific actors, but Sun Yi did not interrupt. He knew that this was not his decision. Anyway, he had clearly written the specific background settings of each character in the script. I believe that the teachers can choose. The most suitable actor.

Listening to the teachers talking about this lineup, Sun Yi felt anxious in his heart. These are all big names. If he were to invite them by himself now, no one would be able to take care of him. It would have to be Beiying, which has a profound background.

At the end of the discussion, teacher Cui Xinqin suddenly said to Sun Yi:
"Sun Yi, what do you think of the heroine of this drama? After all, she is the one who plays opposite you the most."

After saying that, Cui Xinqin looked around at the people present and said jokingly:
"We have to respect the actor's opinion. After all, he indirectly contributed 100 million."

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
 I still ask you to recommend and collect it.
