The casting for the movie "The Hunger Games Part 1" has already ended.
Except for Xia Yu and Daniel, all the remaining members are actors from Mindli Pictures, and the casting was decided by Xia Yu and others.
Image requirements are definitely there, but they are not the first priority. The first priority is definitely acting skills.
The two movies "The Hunger Games Series" and "The Twilight Series" have different positionings.
One is a romance and one is a drama thriller, or is an adventure more appropriate?
When casting a romance film, the first priority must be an actor who fits the character and has a good appearance, and the second is acting skills!
After all, acting can be trained and improved, but appearance is difficult.
As for feature films, the requirements for appearance are not so strict, and the strict requirements become acting skills.
Xia Yu did not completely follow the original work when selecting the male lead, Peter Mellark, and did not follow the casting choices of the L-level movie world.
Xia Yu has long had a standard for selecting male protagonists in movies. It does not necessarily require handsome men and beautiful women, but it must conform to global aesthetics.
Perhaps because of the surprise of Eastern aesthetics, a male protagonist in an L-level cultural world may be extremely attractive in the eyes of Westerners, but Xia Yu doesn't think so and can only admit that his acting skills are indeed professional.
So when it comes to casting, Xia Yu first focused on acting, and then chose an actor with good facial features, but a slightly frail temperament - of course, it's just in terms of temperament, he actually has a good figure and can fight well.
It belongs to the type where the real person does not show his face...
The appearance has also been recognized by Ashley and Zhuang Ling - it is suitable for both East and West.
The actor who plays the male lead is Edric, a young actor of the new generation.
As for the crew, they have been working together on the "Twilight Series" for the past two years - Ashley can be said to be like an arm in the ring.
In other words, the new actors who join the group need to be re-trained, and Ashley already has enough experience.
There is a large conference room specially arranged in the Mindli Film Building, which is enough to accommodate 200 people for a meeting.
On the first day of the reading, Ashley put down her harsh words when she came up, her eyes were sharp, and she said:
"I think you have all heard of my name? In fact, I am not an overly strict person. My strictness is only directed at those actors who do not perform seriously, do not really think about their roles, and waste the crew's time!"
The rest is just the same old talk about schedules and shooting plans...
The popularity of "Werewolf Secrets" has faded, and Ashley's fame has become less and less in the past two years.
"Twilight Series" is currently very popular, but the popularity lies in the original novel, and the popularity lies in Xia Yu and Antonio who are gradually leaving the industry...
On the contrary, Ashley, as a director, has always "hidden her merit and fame".
But the actors at Mindli Pictures all "respect" Ashley very much. They all received absolute affirmation from the returning actors and staff - Ashley is an actor worthy of awe.
As a result, her reputation as a tyrant on the set has become more and more solid.
When Ashley spoke.
Not only the original crew members, but also the dozens of new actors were also quite solemn...
As for Xia Yu.
With the original cast of "Twilight Series" and word of mouth from the actors at Mindli Films, the most important thing was Amanda's attitude and Xia Yu's strength during the casting process, which made them all aware
——Xia Yu is not just a simple actor, but also an important member of the Bankrupt Sisters. One sentence can decide whether they will stay or go!
When facing a production team, the new actors who join the team, even if they have dissatisfaction, contempt, etc., they basically keep it in their hearts, and no fool will show it openly...
This also made the entire reading of "The Hunger Games Part 1" extremely smooth. The professional team, together with professional actors, achieved an effect of 1+12. The original plan was to read for thirty days, but in the end it took twenty-six days.
Four days earlier than expected.
The reading for "The Hunger Games Part 1" officially started on November 1st and ended successfully on November 26th. There was no rest. Since it was completed ahead of schedule, the filming started ahead of schedule. On the 27th, everyone flew to North Carolina.
Laizhou, preparation for shooting.
Compared with the reading of "The Hunger Games Part 1", the reading of "Succession Part 1" is much faster.
The filming of "Succession Part 1" is different from the filming of The Hunger Games - mainly due to the different shooting methods of James and Ashley.
The filming of "Beautiful Drama" always adopts the pattern of filming one episode and broadcasting one episode, so it is basically a round-up reading. During the filming process, one episode is filmed and one round-up reading is adopted. As early as ten days ago, on the 15th, it was
The reading has been completed and the shooting stage has begun.
James and Antonio will regularly summarize shooting task reports and send them to Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling's mailboxes - summarizing daily and weekly "Succession 1" shooting progress, actor status and other issues.
The actors in Mindeli Film and Television basically have great respect for James - that big guy is there. If an actor really gets sick and gives you a big sum, you will wonder if you are afraid.
The filming of "Succession 1" started smoothly and smoothly, giving Xia Yu no worries.
Even when I look at the work report every day, it's just a blink of an eye - if something really happens, Zhuang Ling will be there in Los Angeles to take care of it, right?
The entire team filming "Twilight Series" spent nearly two years in Oregon, Washington State, and the Maple Leaf Country border. The winter in December was wet, cold, and rainy. For the climate here, the summer weather is not bad, but most of the team
, I can’t really say I particularly like it.
In contrast, North Carolina is located in the southeastern part of the beautiful country. The average annual temperature is 19 degrees Celsius in the east, 16 degrees Celsius in the central part, and 13 degrees Celsius in the mountainous areas. It has four distinct seasons. It can be said to be one of the most livable states in the beautiful country.
one.
It's just that the trend of modernization is a little smaller. In other words, because 50% of the population here is rural - it's livable, but not suitable for work and development, but occasionally it's a vacation or a business trip, but it's
Very good choice.
The "Hunger Games" crew led by the bankrupt sisters landed on the 27th.
After adjusting the time for a day, the computer was started smoothly and quietly on the 28th.
There is still no grand opening ceremony to pursue popularity - the filming of this movie series, as another masterpiece to take over the popularity of "Twilight Series", pursues low-key and smoothness.
In order to shoot in a low-key manner, the filming location was not even told to any actors or staff at the beginning.
The purpose is to avoid harassment by the paparazzi who work for major media outlets in the beautiful country.
You know, the media reporters here are much crazier than in China.
It is said to be pervasive.
The "Twilight Series" is so popular that if the news breaks out, it will inevitably trigger a series of accidents - and both Ashley and Xia Yu don't like surprises. Xia Yu knows that "The Hunger Games Part 1"
It is impossible to completely keep the filming secret, especially until "Twilight 1" is released, but if you can keep a low profile for an extra month or two, it will give you an extra month or two of free time. What's wrong with that?
But I didn't expect that something would happen just because I was afraid, and something would really happen.
