Chapter 4 Zhou Yang recruits actors

Zhou Yang saw the mess all over the ground.

Tables and chairs were all missing arms and legs. At the same time, the wallpaper in the hotel was torn, and the TV screen was smashed.

It was obvious that room 302 had just experienced a catastrophe.

"We are discussing scripts, but artistic scripts can sometimes make people very impulsive and form a kind of performance art. Xiao Zhou, you go to eat first, and we will come down to check other equipment later..."

"OK."

When he saw Zhou Yang continuing to look elsewhere, Hong Xiang blocked the door to prevent Zhou Yang from seeing more things inside.

script?

Art?

Zhou Yang felt that Hong Xiang was hiding something, but he did not ask further questions.

At this moment, he was a little tired.

After looking at the circuit board and circuit diagram for a day, my head felt a little swollen.

……………………

"There was something wrong with the van. I was afraid it would be unsafe to drive at high speed, so I went to the repair shop to check the car..."

"Tools are needed to repair things. I don't have enough tools at the moment, so I went to buy some things..."

"I also went to the garbage recycling plant here. I can often find some diode components I need in the garbage recycling plant. Many circuit boards are universal and can be used in other equipment after being disassembled...

…Of course, many computer boards can also be used…”

"Because I have no money, I temporarily borrowed a thousand yuan in the name of the crew. Don't worry, I will pay back the thousand yuan. It's recorded in my account book."

"..."

At dinner time.

Zhou Yang spoke seriously about his day's journey and took out his account book.

The account book records in detail the various uses of today's one thousand yuan.

His voice is very sincere.

Hong Xiang and Liu Yi were listening, nodding indifferently from time to time, deliberately creating the aura of a leader, but feeling inexplicably embarrassed in their hearts.

But they couldn't show such embarrassment in front of Zhou Yang, so they could only keep silent.

They listened to Zhou Yang talking about the repair situation of the camera and the theoretical knowledge that they couldn't understand...

Suddenly you feel that Zhou Yang is not useless?

After dinner is over.

Hong Xiang left first.

Before leaving, he winked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi understood and came to find Zhou Yang.

"Xiao Zhou, tomorrow our crew will move to the mountains, and I will recruit some extras. Well, I see that you are quite honest, so let's leave the task of recruiting extras to you. We trust you very much...

"

"Oh, okay, well, what should I do?"

"It's up to you."

"Do you have any requirements? What is the script about?"

"The script tells the story in the mine. As for what the story is, we can't tell you. It's not that we don't trust you, but that artistic creation requires some vague concepts. If we tell you too early, it will make you form a kind of thinking.

Solidification..."

"Do I need to recruit some miners?"

Just when Liu Yi was about to seriously popularize the story of artistic creation with Zhou Yang and cover up certain things, Zhou Yang didn't think about it at all.

Zhou Yang is very down to earth.

Art……

This kind of thing is too deep and the concept is very broad. Zhou Yang felt that even if they explained it carefully, he would not understand it.

After all, he is not this kind of person.

He is vulgar.

Elegance has nothing to do with him.

"Almost..." Liu Yi nodded.

"Okay, by the way, what should I say about the remuneration?" Zhou Yang also nodded and asked a key question.

"It's up to you to spend from three hundred yuan a day to a thousand yuan a day. You can drive whatever you think is appropriate..." Liu Yi looked at Zhou Yang.

"Is this really good?"

Do all extras make so much money?

"Just do it!" Seeing Zhou Yang's expression, he was slightly impatient.

"Well, I don't understand movies, what if..." Zhou Yang hesitated.

He was afraid of misleading others.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I think you have this kind of artistic talent..." Liu Yi said casually.

"Okay then, let me give it a try. Well, after I recruit you, will you guys help check it?"

"good."

"By the way, you have to give me some money, otherwise I won't be able to do advertising... To recruit actors, do you need some advertising?"

"How much?"

"One or two hundred, right?"

"Can!"

"..."

……………………

It's quiet at night.

Zhou Yang lay on the bed and looked at the stars in the sky.

Should I hire actors?

Can I really do this?

Zhou Yang didn't know, but Zhou Yang felt a sense of trust.

He felt like he was getting lucky.

Movie……

A movie about a mine?

Zhou Yang began to recall the few movies he had watched in his mind...

Vaguely, I thought of a movie called "The Blind Shaft".

He had almost forgotten the detailed plot, but he vaguely remembered that it was a literary film, and then he seemed to be able to recall a little of the fragmentary plot in it.

At the same time, he also knew that the actor who filmed "The Blind Shaft" was Bao Qiang, who was one of the few examples of grassroots counterattack among the ensemble cast.

others……

Zhou Yang really had no impression.

I wonder how different the plot of "The Blind Shaft" is from the director's movie...

Um……

I heard that Director Hong will invite young fresh meat "Han Chong" to come and shoot this movie.

It seems that Han Chong's agent has been contacted.

"Han Chong" debuted on the singing program "Happy Boy" in this world.

Although he was eliminated in the end and did not win the championship, he was very popular and had many fans.

Looking at the photos, he seems very handsome and a little weak, but he must be a particularly talented person.

After all, I heard that he is an original singer.

However, it seems a bit inconsistent for Xiaoxianrou to make such a movie.

How did Zhou Yang feel uncomfortable when he substituted Xiao Xianrou in "The Blind Shaft"?

Maybe it's my problem?

After all, what does a person like me know about movies? Maybe art needs this sense of dissonance?

Maybe the script is completely different from "The Blind Shaft"?

Maybe……

Um……

It doesn’t seem right that a movie only has a director and an assistant director, but no other staff members?

It always feels weird.

As Zhou Yang thought about it, his eyelids began to grow heavy.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.

Not long after, he yawned and fell asleep.

A night of silence.

The next day, Zhou Yang got up at four o'clock in the morning.

The first thing he did when he got up was to take the camera and fiddle with the circuit boards inside.

Well, he is using various tools to find the damaged parts of the camera. This kind of trouble is very tedious. In fact, for ordinary repairmen, replacing a circuit board can solve the problem. If it cannot solve the problem, just replace it with a motherboard.

but.

Zhou Yang did not do this.

Circuit boards are not cheap, Zhou Yang cannot afford the price, and he is not sure whether it is possible to replace the circuit board with another one.

Motherboard?

He can't even afford it.

This thing is ridiculously expensive...

It's better to carefully search for where the circuit is broken.

Zhou Yang fiddled with the screwdriver and multimeter, and began to check bit by bit very carefully...

It wasn't until seven o'clock in the morning that he finally found some clues!

However, the answer is disappointing.

The camera was damaged in not just one place, but in many other places.

Repairing this will cause death...

Zhou Yang carefully placed the camera, then stood up, rubbed his sore eyes, moved his body, and then left the van and walked towards the advertising agency.

He has to recruit a group of extras today.

Before recruiting actors, he had to make a poster.

…………………………

"Young man, do you think I can do it?"

"Director Zhou, I am a miner here. No one knows how to mine better than me. Do you think I can do it?"

"Young man..."

"Can I do that?"

"..."

Making movies is a rarity.

When Zhou Yang showed the advertisement paper and heard that a celebrity would be coming, a large number of people from all over the country gathered around him.

Zhou Yang was surrounded by countless people, and he could hardly breathe.

The two directors neither set a number of people nor a price for the movie. They only said that the film would cost around four million.

four million!

There seems to be quite a lot.

In short, Zhou Yang carefully registered the actor's information and information according to the vague specifications of "The Blind Shaft" in his mind, and conducted preliminary screening.

Only half a day.

Zhou Yang screened more than 20 backup lists.

At noon, when Zhou Yang was preparing to go back for dinner...

Liu Yi came over in a hurry.

"Have the cast been recruited?"

"Not yet. Here is their list and information. Director Liu, can you help me take a look?"

"Well, let me take a look, just these, this, this... these."

"Director Liu, are you being too casual?"

"Art is innate, and good hands come by chance. Some actors also need luck." Liu Yi was talking to Zhou Yang while looking at his mobile phone.

"oh."

"By the way, this afternoon you go to the advertising company to make some banners for the opening ceremony. At the same time, call the actors to the designated place... and put the camera on according to my request..."

"Ah? The camera hasn't been repaired...are you going to turn it on now?"

"It's okay. I have a camera here. Let's take a start-up photo first..."

"oh oh."

"Han Chong will be here in the afternoon. You have to get the cards ready first, you know?"

"What to do?" Zhou Yang was confused.

He doesn't understand this.

His aesthetics are very average, and a person with vulgar experience will not know what the cards are like...

"Forget it, you go help set up the tent and set up the equipment first. We will sleep in the tent at night. By the way, the equipment is very heavy. Can you handle it by yourself?"

"It can be done."

"good."
