The next day, Chen Yang had nothing to do. On the other side, Xiao Ping sent out another invitation. Chen Yang planned to go to the venue to see how Xiao Ping chose the candidates.
Chen Yang did not intend to interfere too much in the entire process and left it to Xiao Ping to handle.
The casting location was set at the Shanghai Film Academy. Xiao Ping had a good relationship with the student union and applied for a large classroom through the student union.
Chen Yang alighted at the entrance of the Film Academy. Xiao Ping had been waiting for him for a long time. He rode his electric donkey to the entrance to pick him up.
"President Chen, hehe, get in the car!"
Xiao Ping was dressed in a suit and leather shoes today.
Chen Yang sat in the back and started the car. He asked,""What are your preparations?"
" Not bad," Xiao Ping replied with a smile." When I came out just now, I took a look. There were at least a hundred people queuing up! It wasn't time yet, but there were probably a few hundred people who could choose today. I plan to use three days to choose people. If I can choose a suitable person in advance, then it will end.”
"You don't need many actors, so you should have enough time.”
"Equipment?" Chen Yang paused.”
Xiao Ping chuckled." President Chen, you can rest assured about this. Our film school doesn't lack equipment or professionals." When that time comes, you can rent a set of equipment with money. As long as you have enough money, you can do anything. Haha.”
Chen Yang saw that Xiao Ping already had a plan and did not say anything else.
The journey was smooth, and the two of them arrived at the entrance of the audition classroom.
Xiao Ping had already become a well-known figure in the school. Everyone expressed their envy and admiration for him being able to get a million yuan to film a movie.
There were many performing arts students from every year who wanted to give it a try.
They didn't think that the movie would definitely become popular. They just wanted to give it a try, show their faces, gain some experience, and earn some pocket money at the same time!
Xiao Ping's salary was not low, and it was a big temptation for students from ordinary families.
"Senior Xiao, you're here."
"Director Xiao, you're finally here."
When they entered, there were even some schoolmates who teased them from time to time.
Xiao Ping scratched his head. He felt a little embarrassed, especially when others called him a great director. The key was that he hadn't produced any works yet, so it sounded a little harsh.
"Don't worry, you'll soon become a big director. When the time comes, they'll still have to call you that.”
Chen Yang knew what Xiao Ping was thinking about. He patted Xiao Ping's shoulder and gave him encouragement.
Xiao Ping was a potential stock. If he could build a good relationship with him, if Xiao Ping were to film another movie in the future, he would definitely be the first to look for Chen Yang.
If he could produce the [Innocence in the Mountains], there might be a second, a third, or even more in the future.
There were people from the Student Union in the classroom who were setting up the scene. Xiao Ping took the initiative to introduce Chen Yang to everyone.
"So it's Chen Yang! I know his name. It's been on the news.”
"What news? I've never seen it before. Let me look for it!"
"I heard from my friends at the University of Science and Technology that this guy is very awesome. He even gave a speech on stage a few days ago and is now worth more than ten million yuan.”
"Starting from scratch! So powerful…"
Everyone was amazed and surprised that Chen Yang was willing to sponsor a director who had yet to graduate.
There were so many mature and good directors, but Chen Yang chose Xiao Ping. It was very strange and very bold!
It wasn't like there weren't people in the school who had pulled in sponsors before. It was already good enough to have a budget of 100,000 yuan to make a small online movie.
Xiao Ping's attitude, saying that he was going to shoot a movie and get a million yuan sponsorship, made people envious!
"The casting begins. Please help me look at the door.”
Xiao Ping informed a junior from the Student Union, and that person went to the door to let people in in batches.
Chen Yang and Xiao Ping sat at the front. There was hot water, a table, and a chair. Xiao Ping was holding a pen and paper in his hand, probably to grade everyone.
There was a simple form on the paper, which included body shape, appearance, acting ability, emotions, and many other ratings.
The first batch to enter consisted of three men and two women.
Chen Yang had read Xiao Ping's script and roughly recalled that there were five main characters and eight or nine secondary characters. As for the extras, they were relatively simple and could be chosen at will.
Among the main roles, there were four men and one woman. The male lead and the female lead were definitely important candidates, and their acting skills had to pass.
After entering, everyone first filled in some simple information, such as name, contact information, etc.
" Let's start with Junior Zhou Hai. He will perform live for one minute. The topic is-"
"You just woke up and went to the bathroom to brush your teeth. When you looked in the mirror, you first realized that two of your teeth were gone, and then you realized that your hands were covered in blood.”
"Please begin your performance!"
Xiao Ping gave a performance suggestion. The handsome young man named Zhou Hai was stunned for a moment. After thinking for three seconds, he began to perform.
Chen Yang leaned back in his chair thoughtfully and nodded.
" Innocent in the Mountains " had many humorous elements in the suspense. Some scenes would be very detailed about the changes in the actors 'facial expressions. It had to be outstanding enough to make the entire movie more interesting.
It was obvious that Xiao Ping was very suitable for the script when choosing actors.
After Zhou Hai finished his performance, Xiao Ping gave his score on a piece of paper. Then, he set a question for the second person. It was also an impromptu performance.
Every time the questions changed, Xiao Ping chose them carefully. If he met a satisfactory candidate, he would make a note at the back.
If he met a candidate that he was very satisfied with, he would decide on the spot. For example, the male lead, Xiao Ping would choose an average-looking person with excellent acting skills on the spot.
The other party was not from the Film Academy, but had seen the news of the casting outside the school. He had passed by and wanted to give it a try. He did not expect to be chosen by Xiao Ping.
Chen Yang admired Xiao Ping's meticulous attitude and was looking forward to the day when " Innocence in the Mountains " was released!
