The Director of Music Department

The approval of a film project in China is much simpler than that in Hollywood.

Of course, this is also due to different national conditions. Every Hollywood company has a review mechanism, and generally speaking, Hollywood rarely uses scripts for newcomers.

For a project of theirs, if the other party is a gold medal producer, they may not even need a script. They only need to have an idea, and the film manufacturer can attach great importance to it. However, if it is an ordinary director who wants to make a project, it is Thousands of difficulties.

In fact, although there are some differences across the country in this regard, there are also similarities.

For example, if it is Xu Cang himself, if he wants to make a TV series, he only needs to have an idea, and he can even start to attract investment, but if it is a movie, to attract investment, he has to make a complete plan, including, Which actors to invite, where are the selling points, and so on.

As for Wang Yifan, it's different. Although he hasn't come up with a script yet and only has one song, as long as Times Light and Shadow knows, he will immediately start promoting this project.

This is also because the initiator of the project is Wang Yifan and the director is Xu Cang.

Of course, if it is Wang Yifan's own movie, then there is no need to be so troublesome. Even if Wang Yifan opens his mouth, the investment is basically within a certain amount. down.

For the project "Drawing the Silk Play", Wang Yifan thought of Xu Cang's characteristics. "Legend of Sword and Fairy", you can say that the credit is Wang Yifan's good script and story, or it can be said that the appeal of actors Li Junsheng, Chen Xuebing and Yan Lingxuan Powerful, but it is undeniable that Xu Cang's control over costume dramas is indeed in place, it can be said that he lifts the weight lightly, otherwise he would not be able to finish filming such a drama in such a short period of time.

Of course, at the moment of "Drawing the Silk Opera", it can be said that the actors have not yet been decided, and the script is not yet available, but no one will underestimate this project that still exists in the mind.

The script outline is actually nothing new, and the plot is also very simple. To put it bluntly, you really can't make the plot too complicated for movies these days, otherwise, the risk will be even greater.

"Drawing the Silk Play" is a romantic film dressed in a magical cloak.

Both Wang Yifan and Xu Cang understand this truth. Of course, your movie's selling point must not only be this, you also need other selling points.

As the name suggests, "Silk Pulling Opera" tells the story of a puppet show, a puppet show.

Therefore, this aspect has naturally become a selling point.

Of course, the design of this puppet must not be conventional, and must require a certain amount of artistic processing.

Because this is not a horror movie, but a romance movie, whether it is poignant or sweet, puppet figures must be beautiful.

Xu Cang moved very quickly. Before the project was confirmed, he went to find some veteran craftsmen to learn about the situation of the puppet show.

When Xu Cang came back, when he saw Wang Yifan again, he brought some key props of the puppet show, 'string puppets'!

"These are string puppets I bought from a puppet show craftsman." Xu Cang said.

Wang Yifan also checked carefully, but soon he shook his head and said: "Although it is said that movies are based on reality, they must be divorced from reality, especially movies like "Drawing the Silk Opera". A traditional-style marionette would certainly not be suitable."

Xu Cang nodded and said: "That's for sure. I have some preliminary ideas. The heroine of "The Silk Drawing Show" must be a puppet, but this puppet must be a puppet that can be faked."

"This is something that you, the director, have to consider. I only have one request, that is, the puppet show in "The Silk Drawing Opera" must be amazing enough, but it must not be too far removed from reality. It can be lifelike, but it must not give people a sense of terror. feeling." Wang Yifan thought for a while and said.

Many times, most of the puppets in movies appear in horror movies, giving people a weird feeling, but "Drawing the Silk Play" must not be like this, otherwise, it may directly scare a lot of people away.

The project of "Drawing the Silk Opera" is not in a hurry for the time being, and it will be Xu Cang's project, so Wang Yifan is more concerned with making suggestions, and Xu Cang needs to do specific things by himself.

His new film has already been finalized.

When filming a costume drama, film the story behind "Fireworks Are Cold".

Different from "The Play of Pulling the Silk", this film will definitely not involve any supernatural things. There are no immortals or demons, and it is a traditional costume drama.

Moreover, it also involves history, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In this regard, Wang Yifan must find a professional to guide him in this regard.

Of course, these are not problems for Wang Yifan now.

But this film has relatively high requirements for the male and female protagonists.

The male lead should not only be handsome, but also tough, with a rough temperament. Moreover, the film will definitely involve a lot of action fighting and war scenes, so it is difficult to choose this male lead.

Originally Wang Yifan was interested in Li Junsheng, but after that, he gave up.

Because Li Junsheng is handsome enough, but in terms of temperament, Wang Yifan has seen Li Junsheng's roles in TV dramas before, and he rarely plays generals.

Generally speaking, Li Junsheng's temperament is a bit softer, not the kind of "tough guy".

Among the candidates who have worked with Wang Yifan, Chen Bu is more suitable than Li Junsheng. It is a pity that Chen Bu is not handsome enough to be honest.

"Chen Dahua?" Wang Yifan couldn't help being startled when he heard Chen Hanming recommending Chen Dahua.

"But, is Chen Dahua too old? After all, the leading actor in this film starts from a young guy, Chen Dahua..." Wang Yifan hesitated.

Chen Dahua has a wide range of roles. Although he is not an action star in the traditional sense, for Chen Dahua, this aspect is really not a problem. He has played roles like generals, and the actor's acting skills are not just talked about casually.

And there are enough cafes, but the problem lies in age.

"Chen Tat Wah is known as the immortal king of Hong Kong Island, but his youthful appearance is not bad." Chen Hanming said with a smile.

"You can make a backup first!" Wang Yifan said after thinking for a while.

"How about this, let's conduct an internal audition, and those who meet the requirements can be notified. Then, let's see the effect of the audition with makeup." Wang Yifan added after thinking about it.

"Yes!" Chen Hanming nodded.

"Where is the light and shadow of the times?" Chen Hanming asked again.

Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them, this is my movie!"

The reason why Chen Hanming asked this question was because Times Light and Shadow also recommended candidates for the male and female protagonists, but they were passed by Wang Yifan immediately.
