Chapter 427 Smooth Startup
"You're addicted to free labor, right? You even want to exploit me." Professor Xiao looked at Ye Qian with an expression that said, "I see through your tricks."
Ye Qian immediately showed a shocked expression: "Professor Xiao, I swear to God, I didn't exploit you. You took the dividends. Since you took the money, of course you have to do something. Otherwise, how can you feel at ease taking this money?"
"I feel like I sold it to you. No matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem right." Professor Xiao felt like he had stepped into a trap.
"No, no, how is that possible? I never cheat anyone." Ye Qian strongly stated that it was absolutely not the case.
Wang Qiong: We'll just watch you talk nonsense quietly.
Fu Shan: We'll just watch you talk nonsense quietly.
Zhang Yunyun: We’ll just watch you talk nonsense quietly.
While the two were talking, the staff had already brought in the second male lead. You see, not being famous has its advantages. He gave people a very humble feeling after entering the door. He first bowed to the two of them, and then just stood there.
Ye Qian looked very satisfied. "Please introduce yourself first, and then talk about your past experiences and what films you have filmed."
The boy in front of him nodded. "Hello, my name is Du Yongfei. I'm a graduate of the Academy of Acting. I've done some commercials before, and played minor roles in TV series and movies. I played the third male lead in the TV series 'Alliance'..."
The TV series Alliance is also a very popular TV series about the war of resistance recently. The third male lead is quite outstanding in this TV series. As soon as he came in, Ye Qian recognized him and said, "Try a scene first."
After saying that, Du Yongfei started to act. They were the main actors and had taken some clips from the movie in advance. Since they came to audition, they must have been well prepared.
The scene was not long, with only a few lines, but Du Yongfei's acting was indeed very good. In this play, not only the second female lead was the villain, but the male lead was the final boss. Ye Qian felt that Du Yongfei had a good image and his acting skills were not bad. She handed Du Yongfei the script for Li Yanghua's male lead role and said, "Act out this scene."
This scene is very important in the play. It is the process of the male protagonist turning from a warm man to a black man. If the acting skills are not good enough, it cannot be performed at all, so they want Du Yongfei to give it a try.
After reading the script, Du Yongfei was stunned at first, then looked at Ye Qian in a daze without saying a word.
"Can't you act?" Ye Qian asked.
Du Yongfei quickly shook his head, "No, I can act." He was just a little surprised just now, but now he has reacted and knows Ye Qian's intention. He must seize this opportunity. If he misses it, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Ye Qian waited, Professor Xiao waited too, and soon Du Yongfei started performing.
There are 6 lines in total, and the eyes, expressions, and movements are all on point. Even without changing clothes, you can feel that he has become a different person. This is what an actor should be. I have to say that Professor Xiao’s selection of supporting roles is quite good.
Ye Qian was very satisfied, but did not tell Du Yongfei the result on the spot. Instead, she asked him to go back and wait for news.
Du Yongfei didn't show any dissatisfaction, but just bowed to the two of them before leaving. You see, this comparison shows their quality.
With such a polite child, everyone's hearts would naturally lean towards Du Yongfei. After he left, Ye Qian said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's him."
Professor Xiao nodded: "He is indeed a good candidate. Why don't you sign up to join the company?"
"I don't sign for everyone. Du Yongfei obviously has a company, otherwise why would he push it to you? Professor Xiao, I see I'm really busy and confused. After you're done here, go home and have a good rest."
Professor Xiao did not respond or speak, obviously agreeing with Ye Qian's point of view.
The subsequent auditions were very quick, and the groups were all finished before the end of the working day.
Ye Qian sorted the information of all the audition contestants, putting the eliminated ones together, the pending ones together, and the passed ones together. Even if these files were not used, they could not be thrown away. There were other people's information on them, and it would be bad if someone used it improperly.
She handed the information of the eliminated people to the staff and reminded them repeatedly: "You must tear it up thoroughly. You can't let these people's information leak out, otherwise we will all be responsible." It's a pity that there is no paper shredder now, otherwise she would do it herself.
The selected actors are Du Yongfei, the male lead, and a drama actor Zou Zhong.
The roles to be determined are those of male third and female third, male fourth and female fourth. Ye Qian mostly chose students currently studying acting. This was also to give face to Professor Xiao. Otherwise, it would be hard to say if no students from her school were selected.
Finally, after all the cast members were selected, they were handed over to the staff: "Notify them, and then give them the scripts for the leading roles. They will join the crew and start filming in mid-October."
It will be mid-October before she joins the group. Since Professor Xiao has already prepared everything else, she just needs to take her place.
And there is no need to worry about the costumes. This is the good thing about modern dramas. The company has its own clothing brand and can use both men's and women's clothing, which saves a lot of money.
Who is the Real Murderer? This is the first TV series produced by their company without investment, and of course it is also the first movie after the company was officially established.
After the actors were selected, makeup trials and publicity were inevitable. It attracted a lot of attention before filming even started, and Ye Qian was naturally happy to see it.
For her first two films, she had to find publicity herself, but this time, publicity came directly to her, a clear change brought on by the award. Why wouldn't she want free publicity? She held a press conference and took questions, answering every question, except for the film's content, of course.
The filming locations were not too far away. After all, the movie took place in an alley. Ye Qian did not hesitate to use her own shop for some scenes that required eating. One reason was for publicity effect. The other was that if she filmed someone else's place, not only would she need their consent, but it would also take up too much time. But it didn't matter for her own shop. She could use it however she wanted.
After the script reading and final adjustments, and amid everyone's anticipation, their film officially started shooting after the incense burning ceremony, and began the first scene of the day.
The first scene is the first encounter between the hero and heroine. The heroine, carrying breakfast, turns around and bumps into a man. The man ignores the heroine's apology and keeps pestering her. No one around dares to provoke him, but the hero steps forward. That's how the two of them get to know each other. Later, it turns out that they are employees of the same company, but the hero just started working today, so they don't know each other.
This scene went very smoothly. On the first day of filming, Ye Qian didn't ask anyone to work overtime. After filming was finished, she gave everyone an early day off. "Have a good rest today, and let's work hard together tomorrow."
"come on."
"come on."
Everyone's voices were high, and they were obviously excited about the start-up.
