Chapter five hundred and sixteen: dining hall treat
Flash Girl is just a small-production movie, with actors and venues all ready-made. Fang Jing has calculated that the most expensive venue is a small theater, which can be rented for 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a day in the city.
As for the extras, hehe, there are a lot of them. The students don't even have a day off, so coming in for guest appearances on Saturdays and weekends is also a good place to kill time.
When they arrived at the large classroom, the students were so crowded that they finally found a chair. After Fang Jing sat down, he selected seven or eight students to maintain order, and then began the interview.
The first one is of course the heroine, which requires a girl who can play the dulcimer, has a decent appearance, is beautiful, has shoulder-length short hair, and is a bit thinner.
If this movie had been shot outside, Fang Jing might have found a female star under the age of 20 to star in it. It wouldn't matter whether she knew the dulcimer or not. The camera would have been all about a professional teacher playing it.
But this is a music middle school. There are many kinds of musical instruments, and many of them are proficient in skills. If you have this condition, try to choose from here.
"Teacher, teacher, I recommend Ye Qingyang. She is very good at the dulcimer and is number one in the school."
Fang Jing couldn't wait to speak before she started asking Fu Xiaotang, and immediately promoted the roommate sitting next to her.
"She is the master of the class next door that I told you before. Her skills are unparalleled and amazing. The key is that our family Qingyang is also beautiful."
Fang Jing looked closely and saw that the girl recommended by Fu Xiaotang wore glasses, had long hair shawl, was thin, and had a red face so she didn't dare to look at people.
Her appearance is not as stunning as she said, just above average. I just don’t know if the dulcimer is really powerful.
"Stand on the stage and let me see!"
Calling Ye Qingyang to the stage, Fang Jing took notes and asked about height, weight, etc. After asking, he let him go without saying whether he wanted it or not.
One by one they came on stage and one by one came off. No one decided on the main character on the spot, but there were several pages written down in the notebook.
The second role, the third role, the fourth role... The interviews started at four o'clock and ended at six o'clock. In two hours, twelve or thirteen people were confirmed, and there are more than forty people to be determined.
"Okay, let's stop here for the casting. Thank you students for participating. When the names are read out, go to the musical instrument room in the evening."
Taking out his notebook, Fang Jing read out the names of the students he thought were good, among them was Ye Qingyang recommended by Fu Xiaotang.
The reason why I didn't book them was because I wanted to see how the instrumental performance was.
The highlight of the movie "Flash Girl" is the competition of major musical instruments, such as suona, violin, piano, guzheng, dulcimer and drums, each has its own merits, and each one must reflect its uniqueness.
This tests the actor's understanding and operation of the instrument. Between the face and the instrument, Fang Jing puts the instrument first.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Fang. I'll treat you to dinner today." Fu Xiaotang stopped Fang Jing, patted his chest and said, "You can eat whatever you want, I'll take care of it."
"So good?" Fang Jing was confused. From the beginning of school to now, the best thing Fu Xiaotang had ever bought him was mineral water worth RMB 50.
"That's necessary. Let's go quickly. There will be too many people and there will be no room."
"There is no seat. Where are we going to eat? Do we need to make a reservation? Don't waste money. I can just eat whatever I want."
"It's okay. No need to make a reservation. It's just that the business is busy and there are a lot of people. No, it's not that the business is booming. The main reason is that I have no choice and have to eat at their place."
Ten minutes later, in the corner of the school cafeteria, Fu Xiaotang sat down like a thief with a dinner plate in one hand. Next to her was Ye Qingyang, holding two bowls of soup.
Fang Jing's eyes twitched, "Is this what you said is enough?"
In fact, he knew what was going on when he arrived at the cafeteria, but he was too lazy to go out to eat.
But why put him in this corner? And why do you need to put a hat on him?
"Hehe, we can't go out from Monday to Friday, so we can only eat here. Don't worry, our school food is okay, but it's not enough. Tell me, there's no charge for extra food."
Giving a plate to Fang Jing, Fu Xiaotang kept using a spoon to divide the rice on his plate, "You boys have big appetites, this little rice is not enough."
"Originally, I asked my aunt to give me more shots, but she said that I am too small to finish a snack, so I would give it another shot after eating."
"Hey, that's enough for you." Fang Jing twitched the corner of his mouth and blocked the plate with his hand, "Are you always like this?"
"That's right, I usually give it to Qingyang and the others when they don't have enough to eat. Teacher, you are too unreasonable."
Fang Jing: You really don’t see outsiders.
On the side, Ye Qingyang said weakly: "Xiaotang, don't you usually steal our food?"
"Nonsense! Obviously you can't finish it, but I'm afraid of wasting it."
"Okay, okay, just stop. I thank you for the treat." Fang Jing ate one bite at a time, only to hear the sound of slurping. After two mouthfuls, a small bowl of soup was gone.
Fu Xiaotang and Ye Qingyang opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen something strange.
Is this a big star? Those who don’t know think he is the reincarnation of a starving ghost. Big boss, where is his image? Where is his idol baggage?
"There are flowers on my face? What are you looking at? Eat quickly?"
"Oh!" After taking two bites, Fu Xiaotang couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, do you usually eat like this?"
Ye Qingyang looked up at Fang Jing, she was also curious about this question.
"Yes! Filming is very tiring, especially fighting scenes and military films. I wake up hungry all morning, and my stomach is so hungry that my chest touches my back. Sometimes I shoot for six or seven hours in a row. It is common to stay up all night. When I encounter something to eat,
Can you hurry up?"
"I know what you want to ask. In fact, most people on the set are like this. The scene is so big, who has the patience to wait for you to have a meal for two hours."
"How can such a star..."
"That's a minority, and what you see may not be true. Sometimes people don't have anything to do in the afternoon, so it's normal to take a long lunch."
Fang Jing was busy talking. He finished his meal in seven or eight minutes, wiped his mouth, lowered the brim of his hat, and left.
"Teacher, are you leaving now? I haven't introduced Qingyang to you yet. Her dulcimer is really good. Just give it a try. You won't be disappointed."
"You don't have to say whether you play well or not. You won't know until the evening. Besides, you don't have to be good at filming. If others are also excellent, I can only choose others."
If it was a small role, Fang Jing might be able to be accommodating, but when it comes to the heroine, he must be cautious.
Putting his hands in his pockets, Fang Jing lowered his head and turned to leave, leaving behind two disappointed looks.
"Humph, this Teacher Fang is so ruthless. He just walked away without even asking a few questions." Looking at Fang Jing's back, Fu Xiaotang was angry, and her image of being close to the people just now collapsed in her heart.
"It's okay, I will study hard later." Ye Qingyang said softly: "Thank you for your help."
"What are you talking about? You are the fourth child in our dormitory. I have helped the second and third children to take over. Who can I help if I don't help you?"
Among the four people in the dormitory, under her casual and fair recommendation, the other two have formed supporting roles in the drama, and now only Ye Qingyang is missing.
"If Teacher Fang doesn't want you, I will still pester him." Fu Xiaotang's voice became smaller and smaller, "If it doesn't work, I will lend you the money. If you have one or two hundred thousand, I should have more than a hundred thousand."
