Chapter 425 Character Template
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!
Out of fear that the film would deviate from the original track, Song Ya forced the preliminary preparations to be arranged in Chicago. It is still too early to join the group and start filming. Many of the main creators have other things at hand, so they had to use the weekend to travel between the two places. This caused Yeremov to complain again and again that there was a danger of being out of control from the very beginning.
"There are a lot of things you don't have to do yourself. When your money is about to be invested, Catherine and the others are afraid to scare you away and don't want to offend you. Now that all the contracts are signed, those main creators will not point fingers at a preparatory meeting. There is nothing good to say about the 18- and 9-year-old singers, even if you are the boss who pays, many artists have rebellious personalities." He said.
"No, trust me." Song Ya didn't care about it, "An eighteen or nine-year-old black hip-hop star is pointing fingers at his home site, who would dare to object on the spot?"
"this……"
Yeremov tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally had to admit, "Really, but the motive of not daring to object...is not good for your reputation? People still say weird things behind their backs, and they are The kind that breaks news to tabloid reporters."
"A bad reputation can do good things, as long as it can achieve the goal."
Song Yacai doesn't care what others say about herself behind her back, and when the movie sells well, everyone will shut up obediently, "Is the dance finger ready?"
"Shankman's dance troupe isn't free. They've been busy with work from this year to the next, and it just so happens that they're filming Amblin Entertainment's Modern Stone Family." Yeremov shook his head distressedly: "We can't poach Catherine's people."
"Ha, Hollywood is so small."
That movie is really destined for me. If Xuelin Fen doesn't play and disappear, then she will be the first female, and Harley the second female. dance troupe.
I don't know why Xue Linfen did this...
Song Ya shook her head, and brought back the distracted thoughts, "What about after the filming of Modern Stone Family? Shankman is not free, so Anne Fletcher can always pull it?"
"Anne Fletcher signed Jim Carrey's Grinch in Disguise, which will be released next July," Yeremov said.
"Huh? Didn't I get through with her in advance?" Song Ya was unhappy. Anne Fletcher had promised well when she was breathing out early in the morning. Wu Zhi is different from some of the main creators who started work after joining the group. From the actor's From dance practice to pre-rehearsal, you have to be involved, and the work cycle is very long.
“It was a New Line superhero movie (Masked Man is a superhero from Dark Horse Comics), but it was a Jim Carrey comedy with twice our budget,” Yeremov said.
"Do superhero movies also have to dance? Forget it, forget about other people's business, but I must Anne Fletcher, you go to coordinate! She clearly agreed during the pre-venture, if it spreads, it will damage her reputation, right?" ?” Song Ya knew that Hollywood meant to see her own jokes, and now she is most willing to trust people who have worked with her before, such as old Larry and Zack Schneider.
"All right."
Yeremov immediately called to convey this small threat, and when he came back, he smiled and said, "Annie changed her mind. She agreed to take over our job in principle, but she didn't come to Chicago before joining the group. The choreographer and rehearsals have to be done. Put it in Los Angeles so that she can take care of both crews."
"Then what should I do?" The other actors said that they still have to go to school!
"You have to figure it out on your own. She will arrange some tasks. You can ask your personal dance coach to help you practice." Yeremov said: "You can't really rely on danger to force her to help, right? Anyone in Hollywood would choose Grinch or Dance Out of My Life."
"It can only be this way."
Most of the time, I don’t have to come to Chicago, but I still brought Anne here for the preparatory meeting. In the past two years, no one has watched the old-style singing and dancing in Hollywood. Her and Shankman’s modern dance that combines various elements is very popular in the market. ,
Her dance finger salary has also started to soar, it is still much cheaper than Shankman, but it is already considered high compared to other dance fingers.
"This preparatory meeting is to determine the direction of casting. Have you all read the script?"
There are more and more participants in the preparatory meeting, and photographers, stylists, etc. also began to appear at the meeting. A simple diagram of the relationship between characters and characters was drawn on a whiteboard. Old Larry presided over the script. After several rounds of polished scripts, "The male protagonist..."
His students posted Song Ya's mugshot under Taylor's name, "APLUS, the heroine is vacant, but we need a blond white girl who has a good foundation in ballet and can dance modern dance. The age in the play is about At the age of 21, the choice of actors can be relaxed to 18 to 25 years old, it is best to feel like a couple when standing with APLUS..."
Everyone at the meeting laughed softly, "It needs to be taller, at least 1.7 meters." The casting director added: "APLUS is too tall, preferably 1.75 meters, with a good figure, beautiful enough, and elegant manners. , when you hold your head up, it can give people a sense of indifference and aloofness."
"Uh..." According to this standard, Amy is useless. She is only in her early 1.6 meters, and Song Ya hurried back, "It's okay to be short, but your standard is hard to find..."
The casting director of Amblin Entertainment took a look at him and said nothing.
Old Larry's student posted a photo of the handsome soup wife Nicole Kidman under the heroine's name.
"Hehe, I can't afford this."
Song Ya squeezed out a smile. He and old Larry had a good relationship, and the casting was inclined to Amy. He didn't expect that the template his student found was Nicole Kidman, and that woman was 1.8 meters tall.
Everyone just thought he didn't understand the skills of pre-setting character templates before casting, and laughed again, and Anne Fletcher kindly helped explain it.
"It's okay, let's continue." Song Ya waved his hand, not wanting to entangle this too much at the meeting.
"Male 2", the old Larry's student posted a photo of one of the leading men who can dance even for white people, the white actor who is full of muscles and can dunk beautifully, "If he is a good athlete, he can dunk, and his height is similar to APLUS , or even higher," said old Larry.
Everyone agrees on this character template, and then the female second, old Larry directly used Taraji's photo.
The younger brother of the second boy, Old Larry, used the darker-skinned one from the kriskross group, "This kid is very popular now, but he may not be sure if he tries, maybe he is willing to join in?" The casting director looked at Song Ya .
Singers, especially blacks, really like to come to Hollywood. The male second brother can be regarded as the male number three according to the role, but Song Ya hates the guy who sucks at a young age, "Forget it, I don't have any friendship with him, I still use professional It’s a child actor, but I have no problem with following him as an actor template.”
The casting director showed obvious displeasure this time, pursed his lips, and finally held back his mouth.
There is also the gang member girlfriend who danced with Song Ya after the movie opened. Old Larry also directly used Harley's. "This candidate is basically decided, right?" He asked Song Ya.
"Yes, it's her. I have already agreed with her." Song Ya nodded.
"Uh, Halle Berry is too expensive, she will get the highest salary of the crew for a guest dance, half a million dollars..."
The casting director objected a third time.
"It's already agreed, OK?" Song Ya didn't give him any good looks this time.
"APLUS, why don't you do auditions at all, just follow your own ideas." The casting director threw the script in his hand on the table.
'Snapped! ’ There was a sudden silence in the A+ Records conference room.
"Just do your job well, the main actor, I make up my mind! You don't need to argue with me about this!" Song Ya glared at him.
The people next to him were also pulling his sleeves to persuade him silently. The middle-aged white man took a deep breath and looked at the producer of Amblin Entertainment. Seeing that the other party shook his head slightly, he picked up the script again. There was a lot of noise, but there was no quarrel on the spot.
The template photo of the gang member is Escouber, with a fierce face, which everyone agrees with.
The second female boyfriend is a young black musician. Song Ya, who set up a template for these people, has not communicated with the old Larry. He used the photos of BABYFACE when he was young.
"Our company's Common is fine, hey! Taraji, call Common!" Song Ya called Common, who was preparing for the second major in the deep sea recording studio, to show his face in front of everyone.
Old Larry looked at the casting director. The other party didn't speak this time, so he had no choice but to say, "The appearance is fine, but I want to verify my acting skills."
Song Ya nodded in agreement.
Then there is the heroine's villain boyfriend, and the template character photo is naturally Xiao Lizi.
"Isn't this too handsome?" Anne Fletcher and the stylist and other female staff exclaimed, Anne Fletcher said: "The villain's too handsome will affect the character design of the protagonist who threatens you?"
"Will it?" Song Ya touched her face.
"Movie audiences are very concerned about faces. Generally, the most beautiful woman will be presupposed as the heroine in their hearts. The same is true for the male protagonist. Moreover, grabbing a white boy girlfriend who is too handsome will threaten the male protagonist. The legitimacy of the behavior." Amblin Entertainment's producer thought he didn't understand, and explained.
But the heroine’s boyfriend in the original version is also a handsome golden retriever...
Of course, the original hero is also a good-looking white man, more masculine than the heroine's boyfriend, so Song Ya has always felt that there is nothing unreasonable about it, but now...
"Anyway, let's do this first, and it's not necessarily necessary to find this boy to act." Old Larry made a relief for him.
