Zhang Tan decided to take up the post on his own, and after consulting with Kucheng, he officially took office.
Ku Cheng gave him a sun hat, which is always hanging on the wall in his office. The sun hat is white and has a duck tongue, and Zhang Tan wears it just right.
Rich people always have some special hobbies, which are different from ordinary people. Kucheng likes baseball. Unfortunately, domestic baseball is not popular and he cannot enjoy it to the fullest. He often watches live broadcasts and flies abroad to watch the live broadcasts when he is free.
According to him, this duck-billed sun hat was given to him by a certain baseball team owner and is a limited edition collection.
When a director is exposed to the wind and sun on the set, wearing a hat can protect him from the wind and sun. In reality, many directors also wear hats and even sunglasses.
Zhang Tan accepted it with a smile and said he would put it on the day it was turned on.
Then, Ku Cheng introduced the producer of the crew, a woman in her 40s named Xie Ou.
Ku Cheng said that this person was already the best producer in the company and was transferred to help Zhang Tan.
Zhang Tan has met this Xie Ou, but they haven't interacted with each other much, and they are just familiar with each other. From now on, the two of them will work together for a long time, which involves the time of Liuliu. The child has to go to elementary school, so her role can only be
Shooting on weekends, or occasionally at night, after the winter vacation, the winter vacation time can be used.
Zhang Tan fully used the rest of the time to film other plots.
Zhang Tan and Xie Ou chatted for a long time and decided to audition for other roles immediately and try their best to finalize the actors. At the same time, Xie Ou consulted Zhang Tan for her opinion and took the lead in setting up the crew.
The assistant director and screenwriter were selected by Zhang Tan.
Don't even think about directors who have achieved fame. It is impossible to be an assistant director for Zhang Tan. It is also difficult for someone who is somewhat famous. No one is willing to be an assistant to a new director. Zhang Tan thought about it and thought of Wang Hao, whom he met that day, so he called to ask.
his opinion.
Wang Hao was overjoyed and rushed over immediately with a hundred yeses.
An assistant director alone was not enough. To be on the safe side, Zhang Tan found another character director in the company.
As for screenwriters, the talent does not go to outsiders. Zhang Tan chose Xu Shufei and Zhao Lin in the studio. They were both new screenwriters before. Later, they were promoted by Zhang Tan and joined the studio. The first crew they joined was "The Wind"
, I have been trained in the past two years and have made significant progress.
After the director, starring actors and producers were confirmed, the entire crew started working quickly and all work was in order.
That day was an interview for supporting roles. Zhang Tan, Xie Ou and the casting director were the interviewers. Wang Hao had nothing to do, but he was very proactive and rushed over. He took the initiative to become a staff member and was responsible for calling people.
Today we are going to interview the group of good friends of Zhan Er in "I am Zhan Er".
Zhan Er is a person with low intelligence, and his good friends are also people with low intelligence.
These people have low intelligence and live at the bottom of society, but! They have a heart full of love, they love life and are sincere to their friends.
When Zhan Er's life was in trouble, these friends selflessly lent a helping hand. Together they raised money to buy Zhan Baobao a birthday gift, and together they gave Zhan Er ideas to ask a lawyer to regain Zhan Baobao's custody rights. They clumsily read newspapers and
After checking the webpage, I found the most awesome lawyer and encouraged Zhan Er to find this lawyer for help...
Their intelligence is not as good as that of ordinary people, but their love for friends and life is no less than that of ordinary people.
It is not an easy task to play these friends of Zhan Er well. Although there are not many roles, those who do not have enough acting skills will not be able to act well.
The content of today's interview was to ask these actors to perform a scene from the play on the spot. Zhang Tan narrated the scene to them and they performed it on the spot, leaving them only 5 minutes of preparation time.
These actors already knew that the character was mentally retarded before they came here, and the crew made it clear when they released the recruitment news. After all, not everyone can put down their burdens and play the role of a mentally retarded character, and not everyone has the ability to play the role.
So it’s better to make things clear beforehand.
But even so, when Zhang Tan explained the content of the interview during the interview, some people still felt conflicted and left unhappy.
Zhang Tan and Xie Ou looked at each other, a little helpless. The recruitment information had made it very clear, and it wasn't like they told you on the spot that this was a mentally retarded character.
The casting director apologized awkwardly.
"It's okay, there are always people who selectively ignore it, and there are always people who think they can do it, but the fact is that they can't. Okay, next one."
Wang Hao, who was outside, immediately went to the waiting room to call his number.
"No. 5, hello Wang Jun, how is Wang Jun? Hello Wang Jun!"
"...Here, here."
"I called you a few times."
"Sorry, I was just thinking about the role."
"Don't be nervous."
Wang Hao saw that the young man looked a little nervous.
Before Wang Junhao entered the interview room, he said thank you to Wang Hao, then pushed the door open and saw Zhang Tan sitting in the middle of the three.
Zhang Tan looked stunned when he saw him, and then said: "How is Wang Jun? Are you ready?"
Wang Junhao took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Ready, Director Zhang, I am Wang Junhao, graduated from Peking Film and Television Academy..."
"The character you play is a person with the mental capacity of a seven or eight-year-old."
"I know, I'm ready."
"Then let's do a scene. The specific plot is like this..."
After Zhang Tan finished speaking, he said again: "You have 5 minutes to prepare. Do you want to drink some water?"
…
It took a lot of time to interview these friends of Zhan Er in the morning, and in the afternoon I interviewed other roles. These roles didn't have many roles, they only showed a few faces, so they passed quickly.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, all interviews were over. The casting director was responsible for sorting out actor information and notifying these actors. Zhang Tan and others left. Wang Hao also followed him from get off work and said he wanted to treat Zhang Tan to dinner to thank him for his promotion.
"There is no need to eat. You have done a good job as my greatest thank you. Well, I have to go home to pick up my daughter from school."
Zhang Tan left in a hurry, and received a call from Tan Jin'er on the way, saying that she had taken Xiaobai home from school. Xiaobai spoke loudly on the other end of the phone, letting the old man work peacefully, while she went to find her aunt for dinner.
Although her aunt didn't invite her, she didn't care.
Tan Jin'er said that it was okay to eat at her house, which reassured Zhang Tan.
Zhang Tan hung up the phone, immediately found the phone number from the casting director, dialed it, and someone answered after two rings.
"Hello, who's there?"
"I'm Zhang Tan, when did you come to Pujiang?"
"Oh, it arrived yesterday."
"Have you eaten yet? Let's go together."
"OK."
Zhang Tan made an appointment with him, drove there, and soon picked him up. It was Wang Junhao who was interviewing in the morning.
Zhang Tan and Wang Junhao were college classmates. I remember that Wang Junhao used to make jokes in the class group, and he especially liked to quarrel with a girl named Lou Xinyi.
The two hadn't seen each other for many years, but today they still recognized Zhang Tan at first sight, but Wang Junhao couldn't recognize Zhang Tan at the first time, or rather he didn't dare to recognize him. The changes were too great. It was the same as before.
He believed in two completely different people.
"Why didn't you find me?" Zhang Tan asked as they found a restaurant to sit down.
Wang Junhao laughed at himself: "I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."
After many years of graduation, he had been unsatisfied, both in his career and in his relationship. Not long ago, he broke up with Lou Xinyi. He learned from the painful experience and decided to start from scratch. So he gritted his teeth and headed south from Peiping to Pujiang, hoping to find opportunities here. When he saw "I
There was a recruitment information for the crew of "It's Zhan Er". I signed up without much thought, and only then did I know that it was Zhang Tan's project.
The two had dinner and talked a lot about their college days. It wasn't until Zhang Tan received a call from Xiaobai that they said goodbye and left.
Wang Junhao watched Zhang Tan go away and was filled with emotions.
