Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Chapter 317 finalized.Start shooting.very smooth.

After Li Wei and the casting director returned to the office, Li Wei suddenly said: "Zhang Wen is not bad, he is probably qualified for the leading role, let's make an appointment to arrange for him to audition, if there is no problem, we will cast him. But that Bai Lili is not very good. Although her image and temperament are in line with my expectations for a heroine, she is too young. I am worried that she will not be able to act the way I need. Do you have any suitable female characters? Actors, if there are any, all call to audition, and then choose and see."

Hearing Li Wei's words, the casting director immediately smiled wryly. "Director Li, there are a lot of actresses, but there are only a few who can meet your needs. You said it yourself, Bai Lili's image and temperament are in line, and she also has acting skills. As long as you are willing to adjust in the crew |Teach me, it may not be able to meet your shooting needs." The casting director said, "Although there are many actresses who are better than Bai Lili, they may not be willing to spare time to cooperate with you."

The casting director's words actually told Li Wei cryptically that your chick movie is not well received.In the past, when Li Wei was filming literary films, any outstanding actor who had a schedule was willing to cooperate with him once or twice.Because everyone still has expectations for Li Wei. Besides, there is no shame in the failure of a literary film. These actors can just say "we support new directors" and throw the blame out.But commercial films are not good. Once a commercial film fails at the box office, the actors' salaries will also be affected.

The industrialized film industry is very cruel. Maybe you are a top-tier actor in the [-]-million-dollar club today, or even an SSS-level super-star actor with a salary of over [-] million plus global box office dividends. As long as you lose the box office for three consecutive movies, then your first Don't say that the remuneration of the four films will be cut in half, and whether or not you will be filming may have to be discussed.It is precisely because of such a demanding film industry that actors (especially first-line actors who earn high box office) are extra cautious in choosing films. Which actor in the billion-dollar salary club does not make at most one film a year?For this play, not only do you have to arrange a dedicated nutritionist and body coach to help you create a figure that fully meets your image needs; you also have to hire a special line teacher and acting teacher to fine-tune the characters according to the requirements of the script.Don't think that actors in commercial films don't play the game of experiencing life. Heath Ledger squatted in a mental hospital for a month in order to play a good clown.

Now Li Wei's "My Diary of a Broken Love" is just an investment in small and medium-scale chick movies, basically rushing to make money in the off-season of movies.The main movie schedules in Huaxia Kingdom are the summer vacation and the Lunar New Year (the Lunar New Year is not the Spring Festival, but the Spring Festival is the off-season for movies), followed by the so-called Valentine’s Day and National Day.But in addition to these popular schedules, there is at least half a year's schedule that is the so-called off-season for movies.Under normal circumstances, blockbuster films will not come to this kind of schedule, so these times have become a place for small and medium-scale production films to strive for.

Chick movies like Li Wei are considered mainstream movies, all kinds of cult movies, avant-garde movies, and B-grade movies will gather together in this schedule to compete.If you are unlucky, it is the so-called "one-week tour". You will start on Monday and see you again on Sunday; if you are lucky, you may become a so-called dark horse at the box office.For example, "Ghost Story" and "The Blair Witch" on the earth plane are typical works that make the publishing company full at once with small and big results.

"If there are no candidates, let Zhang Wen and Bai Lili come to the crew for an audition tomorrow." Li Wei also knows his appeal. A great director, so let’s cook as much rice as there is a pot.Anyway, what I shoot is also a chick movie. If I really invite a big Huadan or a big Tsing Yi to come over, I can't tell my own story.Maybe a fledgling girl like Bai Lili is really suitable, Li Wei comforted herself.

On the second day of the audition, Li Wei arranged for a stylist and makeup artist to go in and take Zhang Wen and Bai Lili's makeup photos together.Li Wei was very satisfied with the results, so he asked the two of them to audition for a few shots.Not beyond Li Wei's expectations, Zhang Wen's acting skills are still above average, and this chick movie can't trouble him.But Bai Lili's acting skills made Li Wei a little anxious. Bai Lili is a typical actor with a professional background, and she basically exercises her acting skills through drama.

Drama is also a very profound performing art, but it follows two routes from film and television dramas.Due to the different carriers of the performance, the lines and actions of the drama need to be exaggerated, otherwise the audience in the back row may not be able to see it.But film and television dramas don’t need it. Cameras and radio equipment can ensure that your actions and lines are accurately conveyed to each audience, so that kind of more dramatic performance is a bit exaggerated on the stage of film and television dramas.

Li Wei frowned and reminded Bai Lili several times, this girl finally grasped where the boundary line between stage play and film and television drama is, and the next performance finally made Li Wei quite satisfied.So Li Wei officially signed a performance contract with the agency behind these two people, and arranged for two people to join the group at the same time.As the male and female protagonists, the treatment of the two of them in the crew is second only to the great director Li Wei.

Actors have joined the group one after another, and Long Hai has also completed the shooting schedule, shot scripts and storyboards.The shooting schedule is the work arrangement of the crew, everyone must follow this process, otherwise a huge crew will be completely messed up.Shots are basically used by directors, photographers and editors to confirm whether the shots to be shot have fallen, whether there are mistakes in shooting and editing; while storyboards are used for direct communication between the director and the photographer, so that the photographer can understand the needs of the director. It is good to control the lens language such as light and color under the lens.According to the schedule, the filming of the whole film can be completed in about two months.The indoor shots will be shot in a period of more than one month, and the rest of the time will be used to shoot the necessary exterior scenes.

The main scenes of "My Diary of a Broken Love" are the hero and heroine's office and the heroine's home. Because there are not many scenes to set up, Li Wei is not bold enough to choose the largest studio in Kylin TV City.In addition to these main interior scenes, the remaining interior scenes of a hotel and a leisure club were sponsored, so Li Wei needed to go to them for real-location shooting, and at the same time, a certain amount of soft advertisements had to be placed.Li Wei doesn't have much aversion to this kind of placement marketing. If a movie wants to make money, it must recover the cost as much as possible in the early stage.

With the increase in the cost of film marketing and publicity, the box office of most films currently has to exceed three times the cost to maintain their capital, and some super-large productions have to quadruple or five times the cost.Although in addition to the box office, there are TV network, video site purchase fees and DVD sales fees that can increase profit points, the latter few incomes are small and long-term, and are not suitable for movie profit reports.In order not to put too much pressure on the box office, this kind of advertising sponsorship or placement marketing has also become one of the measures to reduce the risk of most commercial films.

For advertisers, the placement of advertisements in movies is actually very cost-effective. As long as they are placed in a fairly popular movie, then there will be at least 30 days for the movie to be released, and two to three years for the movie channel to broadcast in the future. A DVD that has been watched by people for ten years, the influence of its own advertising is still very large.Therefore, many top advertisers have special advertising funds, and the crew may be approved for use as long as they apply.

The shooting of the interior scenes went very smoothly, because almost no one disturbed the crew because of the completely enclosed shooting.And Bai Lili's acting skills are more and more in line with Li Wei's needs, which makes the second half of the story more and more exciting.Although the rough cut movie version has not yet been obtained, Li Wei still feels quite satisfied after seeing the footage.After a busy month, the interior shooting was finally over, so the whole crew moved to two sponsors to shoot several important scenes.

The sponsors were enthusiastic. They not only emptied the venue, but also took care of the meals and refreshments for several days of filming.Although the catering and refreshments of Li Wei's crew are not bad, but after all, there is still some distance from the star hotel.What's more, people's kitchen is right next to it, and it is very happy to have it delivered fresh and eat it hot.In particular, Bai Lili has fully developed the attribute of "foodie" in the crew. If the manager hadn't been staring at her diet and exercise, Li Wei guessed that the movie would have to stop filming and wait for Bai Lili to lose weight.

The rest of the location shooting is more troublesome, and Li Wei needs to coordinate with the city government and the city police station.Because time was limited and there were many people watching, Li Wei became a little irritable with his loud voice.Although the security guards hired by Li Wei continued to patrol around and warned the people not to take pictures with their mobile phones, the effect was not very obvious.Although the copyright awareness here is very strong, some people still think that the leak of the plot I filmed in public is not an infringement.

Li Weijian can't stop these self-righteous "self-media", as long as he sends a lawyer's letter to warn all social media, if there is a plot video or unofficial channel photos about "My Broken Love Diary", then social media itself To bear legal responsibility.Obviously, Li Wei's legal team is a disaster for the legal departments of various websites.Although he knew that Li Wei's request was a little too much, he had no choice but to admit it.Many people who took shots at the scene were very anxious to log on to social networking sites to share what they saw and heard.It's a pity that the video or photo was deleted within a minute after uploading, and when I uploaded it again, I found that I was prompted to be banned for a week due to copyright infringement.Li Wei admits that his methods are very domineering, but in order to keep the crew secret, he can only be cruel.

The final location shooting lasted for two weeks. When Bai Lili chased her ex-boyfriend Kai Yuan, all the shots of the whole film were shot.

Li Wei announced with a loud voice: "Students, our "My Diary of a Broken Love" has finished! I have already asked the producer to contact the hotel, and you are not allowed to leave later. Except for you, we will finish filming and graduate in advance. My classmates will also come back to celebrate together. Well, everyone, go back and change first, we will meet at the Platinum Lihua Hotel later, and we will not be drunk tonight!"

As everyone gathered at the Platinum Lihua Hotel, entertainment journalists also knew that "My Diary of a Broken Love" had finished, and they all called to inquire.The paparazzi followed directly, blocking the opposite of the hotel gate to take a few photos of the star's drunk gaffe.But the crew is not stupid, they directly send the drunk actors to a room for a night, or take the VIP passage to the underground garage to get a ride, and then hide behind the nanny's car and pull the curtain, no one can take pictures.

Li Wei also drank a lot tonight, and was a little drunk when he returned to the nanny's car.Li Wei lay directly behind the nanny's car, and then ordered the driver to take him to the villa.Outside the window was filled with light, and Li Wei was full of anticipation for the movie.
