Director’s Legend

Chapter 10: [Going east and west]

The crew of the crew was almost gathered, and Shao Shuaijun held a meeting in a hotel in Yu~zhong~ District, Shancheng. Several key personnel are sitting on chairs or beds, while others are standing around, gathering together. Seeing that everyone was there, Shao Shuaijun clapped his hands and signaled everyone to listen carefully.

"I am very happy to invite you all to join our "Crazy Stone" crew. I believe that all of you are leaders in the industry and will surely be able to successfully complete this film. This is a black comedy film with no deep connotations. It is to entertain the public. I believe that many people have seen Guy Ritchie’s "Two Smoking Guns". It is full of cult flavor. Our film uses this multi-line narrative method to combine with the local flavor of the mountain city. Elements, rural slang, tell a story that makes people smile."

The young Shao Shuaijun, with a beard, intended to make himself look older. However, this mustache didn't achieve the goal. Instead, it gave the originally delicate face a bit more masculine and youthful. As a director, Shao Shuaijun is too young and amazing.

As an investor, as a director, and as a boss for a while, everyone has to show an expression of attentiveness even if they despise it.

"In this movie, I want to use exaggerated methods to make jokes. This does not mean that the movie can be made up randomly. The strict logic must be observed and implemented. All departments must pay attention to the fact that it is the theme of the movie. I hope that this can be reflected in every scene and every piece of film, exaggerated and reasonable..."

After explaining the main idea, Shao Shuaijun did not continue the long talk, took a sip of mineral water, and said with a smile: "I first mention the idea of ​​the movie to increase everyone's initial impression and understand their scope of work. Now everyone is just here. , Work can start slowly, let’s get to know each other first. My name is Shao Shuaijun. I am the investor, producer, director, and screenwriter of this movie. I have filmed a movie "Buried Alive" before, which I have sold to Hua Brothers Yi will be released, and if the schedule is scheduled, it will be released within the last three or five days. In the future, in a crew, I hope everyone can advise. Okay, who will come next, Director Li Kai?"

Li Kai smiled and took the conversation: "Thank you, Director Shao, for inviting me to be the assistant director. I used to be the assistant director in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and then I have filmed several TV series. Compared with Director Shao The first film, "Buried alive", cost less than 100,000 yuan and sold for 5 million. My previous work was done in vain. So, I actually came here to steal the teacher."

After listening to Li Kai's words, everyone suddenly laughed, and Shao Shuaijun also laughed, but in his heart he was thinking that Li Kai is really good at being a human being. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" points out his own achievements, and then elevated the position of the director, giving people a low-key and humble feeling, but can not ignore his status.

Such a person can succeed by seizing the opportunity.

Following Li Kai's beginning, everyone introduced themselves, and they all knew each other. The next step is to discuss the quasi-script work of the shooting. According to the sub-scene script, Shao Shuaijun estimated a timeline and which section of content was shot in which time period. According to this timeline, the rental of scenes and the preparation of props are arranged.

Shao Shuaijun has worked as an assistant director for several years. He is familiar with this arrangement. In just one day, all the work is arranged properly, everyone has received the work and can start at any time.

In the evening, Shao Shuaijun, Zhao Cheng, and Li Kai found a small restaurant to drink.

"Director Shao, you impressed me, really." Zhao Cheng squinted while drinking a little wine.

Li Kai also said: "Yes, when I first saw Director Shao, I was shocked. I wanted to say that I might have encountered a liar, and this liar was also unprofessional, at least he had to Find an old man in his 30s and 40s. If it weren’t for Brother Zhao, I wouldn’t believe that I would kill him. I just saw it today and I know what makes people more popular. I’m also making movies, and I’m working on this arrangement. It's not as good as Director Shao, come, I will respect Director Shao."

Shao Shuaijun didn't like to drink. After a few sips, he watched Li Kai and Zhao Cheng fight for wine.

The next day the three were divided into two groups. Zhao Cheng went north to look for actors, while Shao Shuaijun and Li Kai looked for actors locally. Zhao Cheng is looking for five main actors. According to the list provided by Shao Shuaijun, he is looking for Guo Tao to play Bao Shihong, Liu Hua to play Dao Ge, Xu Zhen to play Feng Dong, Huang Bo to play Hei Pi, and Xiao Jun. Yue Xiaojun.

It may be that the original roles of these four people are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Shao Shuaijun never thought about finding other actors to replace them. At this time, Guo Tao was a national drama actor and Liu Hua was a TV drama actor, and his fame was not big. Xu Zhen is a big hit because of "Bright Spring Pig Bajie" and "Li Wei Be an Official", but it is not a big name either. Huang Bo is even less famous. He just finished filming "Peasant Workers for Survival" and he still doesn't know where to wander. Needless to say, Yue Xiaojun, who has just graduated from Chinese opera, is unemployed.

With Zhao Cheng's contacts, it shouldn't be difficult to find them to act in a movie.

Shao Shuaijun and Li Kai went to SC Province first, and found Wang Xun from the political ~~~ Ministry of Culture and Industry Troupe. Wang Xun is the first ten great comedians of Bashu, the apprentice of the cross talk master Yang Ziyang and the comedy artist Shen Fa, and he is a master in the SC art world. However, because of geographical restrictions, it has not been able to make a major breakthrough, and it has really become popular.

In the reception room of the art troupe, Shao Shuaijun met the comedy comedy with big teeth and squinting eyes. Wang Xun is a play lunatic, and after receiving the script, he did not read the script for a few minutes before he danced. Just showing his hand in this way, he saw his acting skills, which made people laugh.

"Brother Wang, how's that? Can't you answer the role of Four Eyes?"

Wang Xun screamed: "Take it, why not take it, this role is very suitable for me to play."

After finishing Wang Xun's appointment, the two ran back to Shancheng non-stop, and found the actor Peng Bo of the comedy troupe in the Shancheng Comedy Troupe. Peng Bo took over the role of Xie Xiaomeng without saying a word. The remaining characters were not brilliant, Shao Shuaijun did not personally look for them, and Li Kai was responsible for several roles.

But he went to Hengdian and found Liu Sanxi: "Brother Xi, order Qi Anan, Sishui, Zebra... Follow me to the mountain city to film."

Hearing that Shao Shuaijun was about to make a new movie, Anan and the others came over without saying a word. The security guards and other roles in the movie don't need much acting skills and are suitable for them. And size is also a supporting role, which can be regarded as a supporting role from a group acting to a supporting role in a movie.

When something happened here, Zhao Cheng called over there, "Director Shao, there are two female characters in the movie. Have you found an actor?"
