Chapter 394 Humility
Ye Qian nodded unnaturally at He Jun's hard work. This is what young people should do. If they don't work hard now, do they have to wait until they are old to work hard? Will they be able to do it by then? Besides, it doesn't matter if they fail at a young age. There is still a chance to start over.
The venue was being planned properly, and the actors naturally had to be decided first. Even if the female lead was He Jun, she still had to go for the interview. Even if she was already selected, she had to use her strength to shut up other people. In the subsequent interview for the female lead, He Jun's performance was really good. She also studied the original work carefully and acted very closely to the female lead. However, another female classmate also amazed Ye Qian.
This classmate's name is Yan Ying, and she is a sophomore at the Beijing Academy of Performing Arts. Ye Qian was a little surprised why there were classmates from Beijing who came to participate in this interview, and there were quite a few of them. After all, her novel was written about this city, and the lines in it inevitably required some dialect, so she tried to find local actors.
The casting date was so impromptu that Ye Qian had only received Professor Xiao's notification two days before. It takes five days by train to get here from Beijing, so this meant that he had received the news even before her. However, Ye Qian didn't feel uncomfortable; after all, the final decision on whether to use the actor was hers, not anyone else's.
It took a whole day to watch the acting of these people. Ye Qian looked for the ratings one by one. After finishing the work at hand, she looked at Professor Xiao.
Professor Xiao waited for a long time just wanting Ye Qian to ask her, but he didn't expect Ye Qian to be so calm. She just kept busy without saying a word, and even after she finished her work, she still didn't say a word, and just looked at him.
Professor Xiao rolled his eyes and took the initiative to explain, "I applied to transfer back to the Beijing Performing Arts Academy. After my application was approved, I contacted them. Naturally, I have to offer some benefits for this opportunity. However, I also made it clear that I can arrange the interview, but the final decision will not be made by me, so you can rest assured. The choice is still entirely yours."
Ye Qian didn't expect Professor Xiao to be so cute and even rolled her eyes. She naturally knew who could influence her thoughts. After all, this movie was not only shot by her, but also written by her, and it was also invested by her own company. Who could influence her? Yes, I am so awesome.
"Well, this one named Yan Chunxiu is very good. She is not very pretty but has her own unique temperament. Although she is not the most eye-catching in the crowd, once you notice her, you can't take your eyes off her. The key is that her acting skills are not bad." This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Ye Qian knows that she was a very famous performing artist in her previous life. She has been popular for decades and has her own status.
The key point is that she later used the stage name Yan Ying, so Ye Qian didn't realize it at first, and it only came into her mind after the performance.
When she found out, it was a big deal. The veteran artist, who was still a newcomer and didn't have a stage name yet, came to audition for her movie. Oh my God, her heart was beating so fast that it was about to burst. She was so excited.
"You think it's good too. Their professor also said that this child is very smart." Professor Xiao was also very satisfied.
Ye Qian calmed down and then said, "Although she is very talented, she is not suitable for the female lead."
Professor Xiao smiled and asked, "Why?"
"Her acting is indeed very good, and she is also very talented, but her temperament is very inconsistent with the female lead's personality. If she were a veteran actress, she could try to perform sudden acting, but she is just a newcomer now. For a newcomer, the role she takes on at the beginning is very important. She should try to fit her temperament and image as much as possible. After she has performed a few more roles, she can ask for sudden acting. Professor Xiao, do you think I am right?"
Professor Xiao nodded with satisfaction. "I thought you thought this guy was good and would replace He Jun, but I was worried that you were partial to He Jun and wouldn't replace him. I was just struggling with that. I didn't expect you to think this way."
Haha, you, as a professor, really think a lot: "So the female lead is still He Jun, but there is a female third female military doctor in the play who is very consistent with her image. She will definitely gain a lot of fans after the filming."
"Pink?" Professor Xiao didn't quite understand.
"She's the one who likes her audience. Let's give her this role." A plot suddenly popped up in Ye Qian's mind, and she immediately said, "I'm going to give her an extra scene. It's sure to leave a deep impression on the audience."
The original image of this female military doctor was very positive, but she was only the third female character, not very outstanding compared to the second female lead. If she could come up with a plot reversal, the effect would definitely be very good.
You know, He Jun didn't even get this kind of treatment. Ye Qian was actually so satisfied with Yan Chunxiu. Professor Xiao was a little worried about adding more scenes, "You..."
Before Professor Xiao could finish, Ye Qian interrupted, "Don't worry, she won't be killed."
Professor Xiao shook his head: "No, I'm worried that you might write her as a villain."
Ye Qian leaned back in shock, looking incredulous. "Professor, what are you talking about? This character is a military doctor, not a spy. How could she become a villain? I just wanted to add a scene to make her more memorable to the audience."
Because the image of a military doctor is that of an expressionless and elegant female officer, who also has a sharp tongue, but does very heartwarming things. It only takes a sudden moment where she doesn't express herself but is actually very heartwarming, and that's fine, there's no need to do anything else.
The second female lead was also picked out from the interview with the female lead, but coincidentally she was a freshman in our school. Then some extras were selected, and the female lead was completely decided.
The male lead is the same as in the previous drama. He is an 18th-tier actor with good acting skills but not famous. The second and third male leads are also chosen at the same time. After all, the cost-effectiveness will be higher.
There are many boys in their class, who can not only help with on-site internships, but also serve as extras, which is very convenient, so this free labor force should be used in vain.
Everything is ready, and Ye Qian's second film, Lone Wolf, officially started shooting after the incense-burning ceremony in mid-October.
The filming process this time was no easier than the Battle of Han City. The weather was similar and the time of year was similar, which really added a lot of difficulties to the filming crew. However, despite the hardships, everyone managed to persevere. Ye Qian was not stingy either. The crew's meals were always good, and there was a dedicated person watching over the stove, striving to provide everyone with hot water at all times.
This is the good thing about the actors chosen by Ye Qian. Although it may not sound nice, the less famous actors are all very humble, no matter if they are pretending or not. At least they are newcomers who are familiar with the script and get along very harmoniously. There are rarely any disputes. It's not that the famous actors are not humble, but after she got into this circle, she heard a lot about many first-line artists acting like big shots.
