Disaster Artist

Chapter 273: Preparatory work

The story background of "tourists" is very particular. They encountered an avalanche in a ski resort and then encountered a crisis. Why?

No matter what time and space, the middle-class life has certain routines, such as skiing in winter, islands in summer, and vacations almost every year.

In an avalanche at the ski resort, the whole context itself has defined middle-class identity.

So, why can't the island be hit by an earthquake?

This is closely related to the image style. In the movie screen of "tourists", the alienation and coldness revealed by the ice and snow are the best atmosphere, which also makes the whole movie have a chilling effect, which is conveyed with the movie. The black humor can further convey psychological hints to the audience.

If you choose Xiaxia Island, the entire lens language needs to be changed, and even the quarrel between the protagonist couple should be changed - no longer a cold war, but an irritability that is on the verge of breaking out. It is conceivable that the entire film's Temperament and tone both need to be changed.

Of course, is it okay to shoot like this?

Can!

Alexander-Payne's film of the same name adapted from the original book "Descendants" also focuses on the crisis of a middle-aged middle-class family. The whole story takes place in Hawaii, and the romantic island style permeates the corners.

But in this case, the script frame, line details, video style, lens language, etc. all need to be adjusted, which is a big project.

Therefore, Lu Qian still hopes to complete the shooting before winter passes.

Fortunately, compared to the period of "unfriending" and "raiding", Lu Qian has initially had his own creative team, and the existence of Blue Whale Pictures and Yu Shao can also help Lu Qian quickly set up a crew, and the overall promotion efficiency is obvious. promote.

Among them, Yu Shao was the most active.

He is very, very satisfied with the frequency of Lu Qian's creation. Not only is the whole connection closely connected, but the quality has always been guaranteed. This is definitely gratifying good news.

From the "Human Removal Plan" to "Fast Pursuit" to "Tourists", the entire Lei Ming brokerage is running at high speed, continuously inputting actors and behind-the-scenes staff, and wholeheartedly cooperating with Lu Qian, Lei Ming brokerage and Blue Whale Shadow Industry cooperation has also gradually become closer.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Lu Qian does not require big-name actors, or even excludes big-name actors-worrying that their starlight will blur the focus of the movie, so Lu Qian gives new actors and backbone actors a lot of opportunities, which also makes Lei Ming's agents go up and down All are fully operational.

This is a good thing.

From the point of view of making money, it is natural that superstars make money, and the dividends drawn from one movie are enough to match the remuneration of a hundred new actors.

But from the perspective of long-term development, cultivating their own direct line actors and increasing the depth and breadth of the brokerage company are crucial to the future blueprint of Lei Ming's brokerage.

Therefore, on the one hand, by supporting Lu Qian, we will try our best to create a superstar director; on the other hand, we will provide a large number of performance opportunities for our new actors through packaging and cooperation. It can be said that Lei Ming's brokerage must grasp with both hands, and both hands must be hard.

Recently, Yu Shao has been very busy, but walking is windy.

And Chen Mu is the most troublesome.

Chen Mu didn't like Lu Qian's "take it for granted" attitude, "Why are you sure that I will definitely take this job? Shouldn't you ask my opinion?"

After the release of "The Raid", the most astonishing technical links were editing and photography. However, the entire industry had never heard of Lin Hanzhou's name, and could not find any information. Naturally, his attention turned to Chen Mu. body.

Objectively speaking, photographers are still quite valued, at least more attention than lighting engineers, sound engineers, set crews, etc.

Therefore, Chen Mu did receive some job offers, and "tourists" were not his only choice.

Su Ziyi was indignant and expressed dissatisfaction with Chen Mu's "ungratefulness". If Lu Qian hadn't taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, he would not know what Chen Mu was doing now.

But Lu Qian seemed very calm, and just said lightly, "He must be afraid of being tortured. During the 'raid', my requirements were indeed stricter. He should be worried about this again, so he wanted to find a copy. It's easy to live and make quick money."

This sentence was said by Lu Qian in private, but it ended up in Chen Mu's ears.

According to rumors, Chen Mu was furious and cursed.

However, the next day, Chen Mu made a phone call and took over the job of "tourist".

All in all, the preparatory work for the "tourists" has also entered the right track in an orderly manner, and Lu Qian is also shouldering his own tasks——

Pick an actor.

Slightly different from "Unfriend" and "Raid", the director plays an important role in "Tourist", but the importance of the actors also increases with the tide.

If the actor has no "play", then the director is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

Moreover, "tourists" have higher requirements for acting skills than any of Lu Qian's previous works. Actors need to have acting skills, and at the same time, they need to be able to understand and interpret roles.

For actor selection, Lu Qian is very careful.

In the film industry, there is a job called "casting director". Many laymen think that the job of casting director is like a harem draft. It seems to be a beautiful job to browse through 3,000 beauties and then select suitable actors. , and it is still a fat difference suitable for unspoken rules.

This perception is right and wrong.

Indeed, the job of a casting director is to find the right one among countless actors, who may have to watch hundreds of auditions, and then use their eyes to pick the right actor.

It is precisely because of this that many agents will curry favor with casting directors, and then secretly stuff them into related households and parachutes. This is an objective reality.

But the importance of casting directors is far more than that. Those top excellent casting directors really have a pair of discerning eyes. They need to perfectly understand the positioning needs of directors and screenwriters for roles, and then select the most suitable from the vast crowd. Actors, looking forward to them being able to collide with actors to spark.

A casting director who keenly connects Johnny-Depp with Captain Jack Sparrow, Robert-Downey-Jr. and Tony Stark~www. novelmt.com~ is Bole.

However, there are countless movies ruined by casting mistakes in history. The casting director who linked Nicolas Cage and Superman Clark Kent should have a big brain, and the one who linked Ben Aver The casting director Ben-Affleck linked with Bruce Wayne also proved himself a failure.

Casting director is a very special position. He needs to have rich experience, unique aesthetics and a keen sense of smell. At the same time, he also needs to have the ability to understand the director and screenwriter. If his understanding of the project and role is deviated, then his The work is doomed to fail.

It is precisely because of this that there are not many top casting directors in the industry, and it is the small group of people who come and go——

The fees are of course ridiculously high.

It's a pity that Lu Qian currently has no trusted casting director, so he's ready to take over.
