China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

My Brothers and Sisters won't be released until July, and the publicity in advance will have to run for at least half a month.

Publicity these days is not like the director who took the actors to travel all over the country to promote the film. Now it is basically done by the publicity staff themselves, traveling to various places to promote the film.

Wu Yuchen didn't want to bother with it. He accepted an interview and then handed over full power to the distribution expert Yu Dong. With this guy here, he was quite relieved about distribution. After all, Yu Dong relied on distribution to make his fortune. What Bona does is a matter of special skill!

Wu Yuchen is still busy with the preparations for If Love Has God's Will. He went to see several scenes in the past two days and picked one he was satisfied with.

This time for the filming of If Love Is God's Will, I still went to Beijing Film Studio to buy the label. Nowadays, private film and television companies want to make movies this way.

…

Liu Ye, Teacher Chang is looking for you!

In the dormitory, Liu Yexin suddenly stood up and asked, Didn't Teacher Chang nod yesterday?

Then we don't know, maybe you are dazzled! Chen Minghao teased him.

Yesterday, the freshman class of Yangxi Opera just handed in their homework, and everyone who passed it finally felt relieved. This means that they should not be expelled in the future.

And now that Liu Ye was called over by Teacher Chang again, he couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that he would be called over to say that he failed the big assignment and would fire him.

And you, Chen Minghao, Teacher Chang also called you You!

Ah?! No way, how could I fail! Teacher Chang even praised me yesterday! Chen Minghao said in surprise.

Liu Ye laughed immediately: Then we don't know, maybe you are hearing hallucinations!

Now Liu Yexin just let go of half of it, at least she has company!

When the two came to the office, they saw Teacher Chang talking and laughing with a young man.

Chang Li waved to the two of them, and then said: They are here, take a look.

When the young man turned around, both of them suddenly recognized it was Wu Yuchen!

Chen Minghao's mind was spinning fast, and he realized something good was happening. He immediately smiled and said, Hello, Director Wu!

Liu Ye saw Wu Yuchen looking at him with a smile. Thinking of the scene when he saw him crying half a year ago, Liu Ye felt a little ashamed, so he said awkwardly: Hello.

Wu Yuchen nodded, and then said with a smile: I'm going to start a movie soon, and I have a role for you. I wonder if you two are free in the next two months?

When Chen Minghao and Liu Ye heard this, they both looked at Teacher Chang. After all, Mei Ting's lessons learned were still fresh in their minds.

Chang Li smiled: Director Wu's play is no problem!

Chen Minghao immediately smiled and said: Yes, yes! Director Wu, I have seen all your movies, and I am your most loyal fan! I am so excited that you can come to me!

Liu Ye was also very excited at this moment. After all, Wu Yuchen is the best director in Berlin. To be able to find him, who is at the bottom of the class, to act is really a great affirmation for him!

Liu Ye smiled happily: Thank you, Director Wu!

Wu Yuchen waved his hand: Don't thank me yet, I have to take you to the audition and match up with the heroine to see the effect. If it doesn't work, I won't use you!

Liu Ye and Chen Minghao looked at each other, with only one thought in their minds: they must perform well later.

Wu Yuchen couldn't help but nodded when he saw Jiang Qinqin and Liu Ye standing together. Liu Ye's height of over 1.8 meters looks like a perfect match for Jiang Qinqin, who is 167.

Then he pulled Liu Ye out alone: ​​Smile and be more honest.

Seeing that Liu Ye didn't know what simplicity meant, he simply said: Smirk!

Sure enough, the next moment Liu Ye giggled a little bit, and Wu Yuchen also smiled.

In the expectant eyes of Liu Ye and Chen Minghao, Wu Yuchen took out two scripts and handed them to them respectively.

Liu Ye, your role is the male protagonist, go back and think about it carefully.

Chen Minghao, although your role is considered to be the third male lead, it has many roles and is very important, so prepare well.

Don't worry, Director Wu, I will cherish this opportunity! Chen Minghao said immediately.

Liu Ye was as happy as a fool at this time. Before coming here, he only thought he was playing a small supporting role. He didn't expect that he would be asked to play the leading role, which shocked him!

He bowed directly to Wu Yuchen: Thank you, Director Wu, thank you, Director Wu!

After they left, Jiang Qinqin came over and asked, Are you sure you want to choose them both? How are their acting skills?

The acting skills are still relatively young, but it's not a big problem. They are both teachable talents. My current standards are mainly temperament and image. They are a good match.

In a pure love movie like If Love Is God's Will, the image and temperament of the protagonist are very important. The performance can be polished on the spot, but the age, image, and temperament are not easy to change.

Wu Yuchen had been attracted to Liu Ye before. When I went to see his big performance yesterday, I happened to see Chen Minghao and felt that he was very suitable to play the role of the hero's best friend in the movie, a funny and kind-hearted boy. It just so happens that these two people are also classmates, so it is very suitable, and they have a better understanding of the acting.

Jiang Qinqin nodded when he heard this. Since Wu Yuchen said so, there is nothing to worry about.

However, neither of them left. After waiting here for a while, two more people were brought over.

As soon as they entered the room, they shouted in unison: Hello, Teacher Wu!

Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile when she heard this.

Wu Yuchen looked at Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun in front of him, and smiled helplessly and waved his hands:

Don't be too close. I only see if it's suitable or not. If it doesn't work, there's no point in being intimate~

Unexpectedly, he ran over and pretended to compete, but now when people in his class saw him, they didn’t even call him senior brother, but directly called him Teacher Wu.

Chen Kun, come first, stand over and let me take a look.

There is another important character in the movie, the second male lead, who can also be said to be the son of Liu Ye's character. Now Wu Yuchen asked the two of them to try out this role.

Wu Yuchen asked Chen Kun to stand next to Jiang Qinqin, and then asked the two of them to keep changing their looks. Then they did another scene and watched it back and forth for a long time.

This character is undoubtedly a handsome guy, which is why heroines and best friends in modern time and space fall in love with him.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also a bit cool on the surface, but he is actually a warm-hearted person who silently likes the modern heroine.

In the past, Wu Yuchen's first choice was Chen Kun. After all, the factory beauty is indeed handsome and cool. But after he let the two of them get along, after careful observation, he discovered that Chen Kun's temperament...

Chen Kun now exudes a youthful spirit that combines melancholy, rebellion, edge, and sensitivity. This is naturally related to his growth experience. As his class teacher Cui Xinqin said, it makes people feel like a hedgehog, and it will take two years to subside. Chen Kun's temperament should be very popular with some literary film directors, but it doesn't quite fit the character's setting.

Wu Yuchen frowned, asked Chen Kun to come down, and replaced Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming’s face is undoubtedly handsome, but...

Xiao Ming, smile.

Wu Yuchen saw that Huang Xiaoming's smile looked a bit like Erha's stupidity, so he rejected him directly. Huang Xiaoming is better now than when he first entered school, but he still looks childish, the kind of person who wants to act cool but can't.

Okay, you go back and wait for the notification.

After the two left, Jiang Qinqin came over and asked, Why, neither of them can do it?

I have to think about it.

Wu Yuchen thought carefully. Huang Xiaoming must be in trouble, what about Chen Kun?

Why not change the character setting to a melancholy and rebellious one for Chen Kun? But this setting has no effect on the plot.

Wu Yuchen shook his head. As for other candidates, the first requirement for this role is to be handsome enough. At a glance, people will think he is a handsome guy.

In terms of handsomeness alone, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming are already the most capable in recent years. As for Yangxi, the most handsome one is Liu Ye. Wu Yuchen has been counting forward four or five years and found that no one in Beijing Film or Central Television is more handsome than them.

Suddenly, a handsome face that he had just seen a few days ago flashed in Wu Yuchen's mind.

Three days later, Wu Yuchen looked at Wu Yanzu standing next to Jiang Qinqin: Azu, smile!

Seeing Wu Yanzu's sassy and handsome smile, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but nodded. He had a good image and temperament. Moreover, Wu Yanzu and Liu Ye are about the same height, and their height matches well with Jiang Qinqin.

Wu Yuchen made an OK gesture to the two of them, and Wu Yanzu came over and asked: Director Wu, do you really want me to play the second male lead? I have never been exposed to acting at all!

Wu Yuchen smiled at him: I called you all the way here, how can I still let you go in vain?

It doesn't matter, just treat it as a trip! Wu Yanzu laughed.

You don't have to worry about acting. Just listen to me. This role is not that difficult. The main thing is that your image and temperament are really suitable. But there is one thing. Can you speak Mandarin?

Wu Yanzu scratched his head: The master who taught me Kung Fu is from Beijing. He can usually speak Mandarin. After I went to college, I came to Beijing to learn Kung Fu for a year, but I haven't spoken to him for two years. Now It will only be very simple.”

Wu Yuchen smiled when he heard this:

It's good to have a basic foundation. In this case, I will hire a teacher for you. In the next month, you will do two things. One is to watch our filming with the team and read the script to understand the characters. The other is to learn Mandarin. At least Get your lines right.”

The crew originally shot two lines, one was Liu Ye's story in the 1970s, and the other was Wu Yanzu's story in the 1990s. It was enough to shoot Liu Ye's line first in the first month or so.

Now that he has money, he has ample funds for filming, and he is also interested in slowly training these newcomers.

…

In a rental house, an unshaven man was leaning on a chair and listening to the chirping of cicadas outside the window.

Zhang Yibai had just experienced a setback and lived in the mountain city for a whole year. He wrote a special period drama script to write about the history of the mountain city from the special era to reform and opening up.

That was his first time writing a TV drama script. Before that, he mainly helped singers shoot music videos, so he focused more on creating mood and atmosphere in the script, and the characters had fewer lines. He can still remember the scene two months ago when the TV producer pointed at his nose and scolded him:

Do you call this a TV drama script?! A TV drama script has to speak, and everything has to be clearly explained in lines, do you understand? You can easily make the character run around the river with his head sullen, and make the protagonist half-mute. How are you going to film this? Please speak!

This made Zhang Yibai, who was born in the Central Television Department, feel angry, thinking that I won't do what you said, I have to make a film for you to see!

So, after Zhang Yibai returned to the capital, he invited several classmates from Yang Opera and held a meeting in the room for three days, forcing everyone to tell their secret love stories and writing all the available materials into the script. .

The lineup that he works with will be luxurious in the future:

There are Diao Yinan, who won the Berlin Golden Bear for Fireworks in the Day, Huo Xin, who wrote Kung Fu and Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons for Zhou Xingxing, and representatives of the sixth generation of directors who just finished filming Love Malatang Wang Bin, literary planner of Zhang Yang and Lao Mouzi.

The script was polished, but there was no investment at all. Modou TV Station’s evaluation of him was: “A fool got a really bad stupid script!”

There are many people who give the same evaluation as Modu TV. After all, he is just a director who shoots MVs, and he doesn't write scripts according to conventional methods. Why are you so crazy?

This made Zhang Yibai very depressed and depressed.

Just at this moment, his phone rang, and Diao Yinan's voice came from inside:

Hey, Yibai, come quickly. I asked someone to send the script to Wu Yuchen. He asked us to come over!

Zhang Yibai stood up as soon as he heard this and asked excitedly: Is he willing to invest?

I don't know yet, but since they asked us to go, they must be interested, so come quickly!

With Wu Yuchen winning Berlin's Best Director, no one in the industry doesn't know him now. Zhang Yibai heard that his company has already planned to produce a TV series on its own, so there may be hope!

…

In the office, Wu Yuchen flipped through the script in his hand, which is still called Love Follows. Wen Hui and Yang Zheng did not run away from Carry Love to the End.

Love can be said to be the first youth idol drama in mainland China. It has been popular for several years and has produced many stars. Li Yapeng, Xu Cainv, Wang Xuebing, Liao Fan, etc. can be regarded as starting from this drama.

Of course, it also made Zhang Yibai, the small-eyed, dark-faced man standing in front of him now, an instant hit, cementing his reputation as the Godfather of Youth.

To be honest, Wu Yuchen really likes the drama Love to the End. It has love, dreams, popularity, and romance, but at the same time it also has the helplessness and confusion in reality. It is very realistic among youth idol dramas. It was also the reason why it resonated with so many young people at the time.

But he didn't really want to use Zhang Yibai. This guy took medicine in his previous life.

It would be confusing to say that a celebrity in the entertainment industry is exposed to this stuff, but Zhang Yibai is still able to get along like a fish in water, and even participated in the tribute movie My Motherland and Me, ranking second only in Kaizi After that, he was still ranked in front of people like Guan Hu and Ning Hao.

The above operation is really fascinating. I can only say that the requirements for directors and the standards for actors are different.

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and asked, How do you plan to shoot?

After Zhang Yibai heard this, he started talking about his own things, taking pictures of raindrops, wind, light and shadow, dilapidated factory buildings... In summary, he took pictures of atmosphere, emotions and states.

After listening, Wu Yuchen said: Zhang Yibai, what you said is okay, but TV series and MVs are different. Don't you think these are too little?

Zhang Yibai was somewhat silent after hearing this. The previous producer scolded him, and he felt dissatisfied. But now the person talking about him is Berlin's best director Wu Yuchen, which makes him start to have some self-doubt.

Then Wu Yuchen asked: Are there any other preparations?

Zhang Yibai whispered: Do you want anything else?

Wu Yuchen sighed: I don't want to draw a storyboard like a movie, but the shots and camera positions are shown in the script. Is this preparation necessary?

Zhang Yibai swallowed his saliva when he heard this and could only respond in silence. He is from the drama department of the Yangtze River Opera, not the directing department. He only shot music videos before and was lacking in some aspects.

Wu Yuchen continued to ask: How much do you plan to ask for?

Zhang Yibai mustered up his courage and said, Four million?

Wu Yuchen shook his head after hearing this number. This TV series is a complete urban drama, without any big scenes, and the actors are all newcomers. If it comes into his hands and can be filmed in less than a month, it will cost more than one million yuan. .

But in the previous life, Zhang Yibai, a novice, had been filming for three months and spent a month practicing. At the beginning, he couldn't even tell the actors a scene. He shot the first one-minute scene for two whole days, and he didn't have any trouble making the movie.

It was a coincidence that Hu Ge happened to be among the extras in this scene. He later met Zhang Yibai and mentioned this matter: I was the one sitting in the corner on the bus. You filmed for two whole days, and the crew put food on the table. You were still filming, but by the time I got there, you were already out of food.

Zhang Yibai and Diao Yinan had a bad feeling when they saw Wu Yuchen shaking his head. Sure enough, the next moment Wu Yuchen asked:

Does the script sell?
