Tuantuan got off the computer chair and trotted all the way to her mother's side.
"Mom, mom, the sister I met while driving a bumper car last time said that there is an audition opportunity now and asked me if I would like to make a TV show?"
The mother was peeling oranges, and now she stuffed the freshly peeled oranges into Tuantuan's mouth, and then said casually:
"I told you, don't play on the computer all the time, it's not good for your eyes."
"Besides, this is all a lie, and I will definitely ask you to pay money next! Ignore it... Have you finished your homework for today? Come, mom will sign it for you."
"no no!"
Tuantuan quickly shook her arm: "Mom, I'm not lying. We've been talking to the sister who drove the bumper car last time for a long time. She has always said it before, but she hasn't confirmed it yet, so she asked me not to say it first...
…”
Tuantuan has been looking forward to it for a long time. If she didn't say it during this period, she would be frustrated. But if she did say it but failed, wouldn't it make other children laugh at her?
Now it’s confirmed, we really need to invite a lot of children to film the TV show.
"Mom, I want to go..."
When Mom put the orange on the table, she was very angry at the moment——
Who is this person? Do you want to lose face?
She vaguely remembered that the person driving the bumper car with Tuantuan that day was probably a young and beautiful girl...
Why do you get into this business of deceiving people at such a young age?
Don’t you think it’s unconscionable to lie to children?
"And you, Tuantuan, you can't play with the computer casually anymore, there are too many scammers out there."
As she spoke, she was about to turn off the computer.
However, Tuantuan was very unhappy: "Mom, take a look, take a look, the audition notices have been sent..."
The use of small words is quite professional.
…
Ding Wei has already communicated with Tuantuan, how can the other party be unhappy?
There is simply too much desire to express myself.
She has to log in to QQ every day to urge her. Now she finally heard the news that the preliminary preparations from Qingxinghai Film and Television have ended and auditions have begun. How can she not be excited?
Li Mingyi also brought a sample of the basic version yesterday. It was the work of a small team that she formed and worked hard on!
Otherwise, there are so many costumes and props for each character, and she really can't handle them all by herself. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so she can only spread the pressure.
Despite this, there are still some things that will be used later that have not been arranged.
But for those who are not in a hurry, they can wait for the crew to start working, and they can do it while filming without any impact.
Today, the director team has arranged the audition notice.
No, she even sent out audition requirements.
…
Tuantuan’s mother couldn’t resist, so she took a look.
Audition requirements: Must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
Audition location: Audition Hall on the second floor of Xinghai Building Film and Television Center, Zhongzheng Avenue, Xining District, Imperial City.
director:……
contact number:……
Please bring a two-inch photo and resume and fill it out in the following format...
…
This notice... seems quite formal?
The more Tuantuan Mom looked at it, the more it seemed like something like that. There was a building over Zhongzheng Avenue. It seemed that it was renamed Xinghai Building just last year. It was even on the news on the local channel at that time.
Moreover, there is no mention of paying any money, nor does it say that you need to bring enough funds. Is this true?
Does her child also have a chance to be like Liu Xing Xiaoyu Xiaoxue in "Family with Children"?
She turned around and looked at the expectant eyes, gritted her teeth, but still refused:
"That won't work. Don't forget that you are a student. You are in the third grade now. How critical. Do you want to start writing a 300-word essay? You have to study hard."
"But……"
Tuantuan was extremely aggrieved: "Isn't tomorrow Saturday? You can start the interest class one day later."
Tuantuan’s mother couldn’t help but feel excited: Yes, tomorrow is Saturday, how about giving it a try?
…
Actor audition applications for "The Guardian Calls" are also submitted on a person-by-person basis.
Like Tuantuan, you send out an audition application to see if the person is willing to come.
As for the daughter of the deputy director of Yanzi TV Station and Song Cheng's daughter, it is basically certain that she will join the crew.
Now, the company's professional staff communicates with the deputy director, and the other party happily prepares to wait for the children to be sent over on Saturdays and Sundays, and just take pictures first.
In order to show his solemnity and to express that his daughter is a perfect match, Song Cheng also sent his daughter to Xinghai Film and Television this Saturday.
It is said that his daughter is really cute. Now she is wearing a complicated and beautiful magic princess dress, and the stylist put her thin hair into a bun to dress her up well.
Holding a magic prop in her hand that looked like a combination of golden stars and moon, she first picked up the hem of her skirt and excitedly spun it around:
"Dad, I think I can use the Clow card!"
That's right, for children's clothes, Li Mingyi refers to all the complicated and beautiful princess dresses from all over the world, such as exquisite Lolita, complex palace style, simple and generous, cute and cute...
Various styles are available.
Even if it's a low-end version, she doesn't worry too much about the cost. The rhinestones and small pearls inlaid on it are all high-quality products in the industry. It can easily sell for four figures in a shopping mall, and people will definitely appreciate it.
Song Cheng looked at the clothes, and while he was happy for his daughter, he couldn't help feeling sad at the same time:
Money!
Investors don't treat money as money, which is really worrying and happy at the same time.
…
The director hired a well-known children's drama director in the industry, and he was not without real skills. However, due to financial constraints and investor requirements, the TV series was shot in a shabby and tacky way.
But despite this, the storylines are intertwined and still have a very large market in China. Now a crew who is not short of money has come to hire him...
Just look at the costumes and props, they are so beautifully done, and the post-production special effects are definitely indispensable!
If you don’t say anything, just do it!
At this moment, all the children who were willing to participate in the audition came over dressed in clothes and props.
These days, there are no children who don’t love filming TV.
Even if they did, they immediately became interested when they saw such beautiful clothes and skirts.
Tuantuan's mother watched her daughter come on stage. The first thing she asked the staff at this moment was: "Do the skirts the children are wearing have mother-daughter outfits? If so, how much does it cost? Are they not sold for takeout? Can I order a set?"
My family buys hundreds or even thousands of clothes for their children during holidays. Nowadays, such a beautiful little skirt would be so beautiful if I could wear it with my daughter to take pictures!
She touched her face—it was obvious that she could give birth to a girl like Tuantuan, and she herself was not bad looking either!
…
Tuantuan is still fair and chubby. According to the image, she is the most suitable to be Snow White, that is, the heroine.
But no matter how bad the image is, he is still a protagonist after all. The director team was worried that a suitable actor would give up today due to casting issues, so they decided to take a look at it for the time being.
So everyone wears random clothes and wears whatever they can put on. Anyway, every outfit looks good. Even for villains like Cactus Kingdom, their costumes are equally cool, handsome and cute for boys and girls!
Who can withstand this?
Seeing that the children all behaved with character and grace, even the shyest one just had a lower voice and didn't seem to have any stage fright.
The director also used the camera to randomly shoot several groups of pictures, and found that with the blessing of the highly skilled headlight master, even if the children simply turned around in circles, the pictures were so beautiful!
The gems and diamonds on the clothes sparkled.
The fat director shed tears of sadness and jealousy——
Why are other people’s children so cute and beautiful?
The child born in his own family is a naughty child?
…
The children were happily wearing their little skirts and didn't want to leave at all.
Tuantuan’s mother was also chatting with the parents of other children and wanted to get some news.
"Are all your kids professional actors?"
Some parents showed a reserved smile: "Hey, the children's interests are not professional or unprofessional. But I do consider taking this development route in the future..."
Others were more carefree: "That's not true. I'm still in school, so I came here to audition on the weekend. Our family got to know people from the company, and I heard that they were casting young actors for TV shows. I saw that my son really loves acting.
I brought it here."
Her son has now been selected to become the Commander of the Cactus Kingdom. He is wearing his own exquisite suit and holding special magic props. How excited he is!
"Then the company didn't ask for payment or anything?"
Tuantuan’s mother is still a little worried.
The mother, a professional actor, glanced at her and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, this is a regular company with a good reputation in the industry. If it hadn't been for child stars not yet signed, I would have asked my son to sign."
Anyway, even if I haven’t seen the work, I know this company is rich.
Isn’t it enough to have money?
"As a young actor, as long as the crew can ensure his safety here, it will be fine after the contract is signed."
"Besides, we don't have to pay for it, and there is still remuneration. If you really have this talent and can develop in this industry, it will be much easier for celebrities to make money."
Seeing her talking eloquently, as if her son had accomplished a lot, Tuantuan's mother laughed dryly and thought: It depends on the child himself!
At such a young age, I don’t understand anything, so my main purpose is definitely to learn.
As for what she wants to do when she becomes an adult, she, as a parent, can't control that much.
"What about school classes?"
The oldest one here is only fifteen years old this year and has just entered the first year of high school. He is very hesitant at the moment.
However, the crew has also considered this issue, so the older actors are basically hired from interested and experienced actors in the industry.
Moreover, children's dramas are very simple to shoot, there is basically no plot, and there is no need to shoot in far away places. If the children cooperate, it can be completed in a month, and the rest can wait for the post-production period.
…
The children here have all auditioned one after another, and the number of actors invited is two or three times more than expected. This is also considering that in order to catch up with the market, they did not wait until the holidays to start filming. Some parents may be afraid of delaying their children's studies.
So give up.
Naturally, you need to make a few more alternatives.
The director's considerations were reasonable. Sure enough, when the contract was signed and the shooting time was listed above, some parents directly disagreed.
However, the child's study is the first priority, which is of course nothing, so the company politely led the child out and gave him a small gift.
In this way, the parents no longer have any complaints, and except for the children who are a little reluctant, everyone else is happy.
…
When Ding Wei came over with Bai Shanshan after class, there were still many children arguing with their parents.
The children are reluctant to part with such exquisite clothes and props, as well as the excitement of being able to film TV, but mothers have to consider their children's studies.
These problems are not problems in front of Song Cheng.
Her child is still young and can't teach anything in school now. As long as the child promises to film during the day and make up lessons at night, there will be no problem.
Ding Wei came over.
"This is not the way to go. If others find out, I'm afraid they will think that we are deliberately delaying the children's learning and causing a bad impact."
She was also psychologically affected by the tendency of future generations to take matters into her own hands, and now she came up with an idea:
"We explain clearly to parents that if their children's learning is important, we should not sign the contract in the first place."
There are so many alternative actors anyway.
"Also, judging from the performance of the children today, can the filming be completed in a month?"
Song Cheng really needs to ask the director.
But the director agreed: "Okay. More than enough."
Don't underestimate children, they are much better at acting than some adults.
And I can cry, laugh, and let go. Apart from the fact that post-production takes a little time, the actual plot shooting is still very simple. As long as the preparations are done well in the early stage, there will be no problem at all.
To put it bluntly, even if the acting is really embarrassing, if you watch those children's dramas, will the audience have any objections? Not at all.
In that case, it would be much simpler.
The children's drama "Ding Wei" is very compact and not procrastinating, so there are only thirteen episodes in total, which is equivalent to one season of American dramas.
Don't underestimate the thirteen episodes. Thirteen episodes in Korean dramas can show love, hate and hatred for several lifetimes.
Ding Wei pondered: "In this case, the intensive shooting can be completed in twenty days, and some scenes with less scenes can be concentrated on holidays, whether it is Saturday, Sunday or whatever."
…
In this way, time is not a problem at all, except for the cost caused by the crew sometimes having to match the time of certain actors, but these days, labor is cheap, and the company's own internal venues and equipment are also cheaper. For those who are not short of money,
Generally speaking, Mr. Bai and Mr. Li, it’s just a matter of two to three hundred thousand...
Can that be called a thing?
Li Mingyi's toy factory has already started construction!
We are gearing up and waiting for the show to be a hit!
…
Sure enough, after such communication, no parents would have any objections.
After careful investigation, there are actually quite a few parents who are willing to sign the contract. Tuantuan mothers were the first to respond, and even kept asking if they could buy clothes for their children...
However, there were so many actors scheduled today, and in the end the director team only selected the ones with the best performance, and the rest were persuaded by the company's professionals.
Considering the long-term development, and promising that the next film would be given priority, he was sent away.
After all, it is only the beginning of March, and all the TV series have been produced and will be broadcast in May at the latest. By the summer vacation, maybe the second season will actually start filming...
In this regard, the director who has read the script and costumes and props is very confident.
…
Soldiers are expensive and quick, and capital clears the way.
That night, the crew made preparations overnight, and Tuan Tuan was sent to the crew at seven o'clock the next day to start her filming.
However, there may always be a difference between dreams and reality.
Yesterday she wore an exquisite and complicated princess dress. Today, she wore a dress that was beautiful but not exquisite at all. It didn't even have gems and pearls.
"Where are my beautiful clothes?"
The c group is so disappointed.
Tuantuan’s mother has already read the script, and now she tries her best to persuade:
"You forget that you are the heroine and the actor with the most important role, so you have to play a girl who is bullied, and you can't wear beautiful clothes at the beginning."
Tuantuan frowned.
But she had told her mother the story of this script overnight, knowing that although she was bullied in the first episode, she would work hard to become beautiful in the next episode, and would transform into the most powerful Snow Queen in the last episode...
In this way, it seems that today's clothes are tolerable without gems and pearls.
She tried hard to look like a mature adult, and nodded reservedly: "Okay, then I'll get started."
With the director's command, all the actors were in place.
