It’s probably a tens of billions box office achievement, right?
Xia Yu thought.
Especially after she chose to shoot commercial films.
Once it explodes, and with the total box office now exceeding 5 billion, it will be achieved very quickly.
all in all.
His life is not in danger.
Why go out of your way to come here?
Xia Yu couldn't control the video remotely and draw the house in his mind casually, right?
If you didn't even see the current situation of the site, it would be too shocking to draw it.
So I made a special trip here.
At the same time, I also want to take a walk, relax, and see the "Fox Town" in this world.
These days, while taking photos of the house, Xia Yu communicates with designers, architects and others so that they can have a rough outline of their arrangements so that they can achieve the desired effect on the hard decoration of the house.
As for the soft furnishings, I will wait until the time comes to come in advance and hold a reading meeting to design them in detail.
During the reading of "Twilight Series", Xia Yu had no intention of letting the entire crew sit comfortably in Los Angeles.
But we have to wait until January, let’s talk about it—you’ve already given your salary, but you won’t come?
As for some scenes in the storyboard, the communication with the photographer also needs to be put into a round-up.
After all, at this time, various venues are not fully prepared, so it is a waste of photographers' time.
…
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling stayed in "Fox Town" for five days. During these five days, the two of them were running around. The happiest thing was Yuanbao. The little guy had been locked up in the bankrupt sisters for too long.
Here in Portland, it's just fun.
The little black meat ball shuttled around the streets. In a few days, with its IQ and force, he almost became a cat bully!
On November 25th, that is, the day before the time agreed upon by Stic Publishing House.
Xia and Yu returned to Los Angeles.
In these five days, Xia Yu followed up on most of the construction scope and mapped out the rough outline of the filming location's transformation.
As long as the design team and construction team follow the design drawings and plans she drew, the entire "Forks Town" will be at least 90% close to the scenes in the movie, not to mention replicating them one-to-one.
.
After all, this place is already 30-50% similar to the scene in the original movie.
At 11:30 pm on the 25th, Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport—traveling in a low-key manner and returning in a low-key manner.
When I returned to Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television, except for the arrangement team, this building was basically empty. After asking about the materials, James took "Raymon, Vivian, and Daniel" to Mindli Film and Television Company.
We are accompanying him to make casting arrangements.
Rather than letting them act as interviewers, let them change their perspective and think. While selecting roles, listen to Ashley and James, the "tyrants on the set", and their critical evaluations of other actors. Observe and organize afterwards.
Improve yourself.
Although Ashley is usually a "dumb beauty", when it comes to professionalism, she is really hardcore.
On the set, it is said that if you don't recognize anyone, if you don't get a good shot, you're just waiting to be sprayed. After the spray is over, you'll be crying and you have to perform well!
This is also why the actors in "The Secret of the Werewolf" all came from minor roles, but they turned out to be decent in the film - no one can deny Ashley's contribution here.
It's a pity that those people completely forgot this and only remembered the "humiliation" they suffered during the filming?
In fact, for Xia Yu to describe it, it might just be a little aggrieved. Isn’t it normal to be scolded if the filming is not good?
Now that you've finished scolding, your mind is clear and you can take the photo, wouldn't it be good?
Talk about human rights? Then go to the crew that talks about human rights?
And why are James and Ashley both "tyrants on set" but not many people have objections to him?
The main thing is that James has better control over human nature than the usual carefree Ashley!
His professional talents are not as good as Ashley's, but his EQ and IQ are much higher than Ashley's.
To put it bluntly.
One is a true tyrant and the other is a false tyrant.
So when he learned about the two people's behavior on the set and on the set, Xia Yu already had the idea of pulling James into the set - wouldn't it be perfect for these two people to work together?
at the same time.
Xia Yu is not very good at casting actors and reviewing and screening in large quantities.
There are too many actors in Mindeli Pictures, and even more are idle. She has to do them all by herself, so that is definitely not possible. What is the purpose of selecting a casting director, a set director, and a series of staff?
The entire crew is not Xia Yu's alone. Xia Yu, the "producer", is only responsible and co-ordinated. Even she can only be regarded as half of the producer. The chief producer must be Zhuang Ling. More matters are still
Zhuang Ling is coordinating and handling it.
It must be said that Xia Yu has always been very at ease and likes to delegate the power of this kind of work to various departments. In the past, when Tao Tang was here, she did not care about script selection, popularity, public relations, and all matters in the studio.
.
As for the production and crew matters, we can rest assured that they will be left to Dai Chengbi.
The butt determines the head, what position, and what to do. As a boss or leader, if you take more control and take on more work, you will easily create a pile of waste - everything is left to the boss, what do employees do? Get paid.
?
James, who has been in this industry for more than ten years, is much more familiar with it, and even as a "casting director" he doesn't have to be too comfortable.
In addition to the main characters, such as Isabella Swann's family, Jacob and his son, and the Cullen family, the rest of the personnel were left to James and Ashley. Even the pre-selection of the protagonists was not done.
Leave it to them.
According to the contract signed between Mindeli Pictures and Xia Yu, half of the main actors' roles in "Twilight Series" must be selected from among the actors of Mindeli Pictures. The rest will be controlled by the bankrupt sisters themselves.
After five days of screening hundreds and thousands of actors, the list of minor supporting roles was finally selected.
Among these hundreds or thousands of people, most of those with matching appearance and temperament have kept their files and are waiting for the second round of casting.
Xia Yu didn't know whether Ashley was tired or not, but James must have been tired.
However, the audition of the main actors has just begun. When the second round of audition begins, it is not just about the external image of temperament and appearance, but also about the acting skills of these people. And the selection of the whole process is
Performed character by character!
The main interviewers for the casting were James, Ashley, and Zhuang Ling.
The actors from Mindli Films also joined this "Protagonist Casting Conference" with different attitudes.
As for Xia Yu, after a year of forgetting about it, she once again received notifications about global advertising shoots from two of Camus and Donner's most luxurious endorsements. And the invitation letter for Camus' spring and summer show - Xia Yu couldn't even think about it.
at the same time.
Susan Miller, one of the editor-in-chief of stic Publishing House, contacted Xia Yu.
