Entertaining Children

"If the director and the producer have disagreements during the actor's audition," Xiao Yaodao, "of course, the producer and the director must first discuss and discuss and try to reach an agreement..."

"Mr. Xiao, I mean..." Chen Jun said.

"I know," Xiao Yao waved his hand, "If the producer and the director can't convince each other, and if they really can't reach an agreement, the director will decide who to use as an actor!"

Xiao Yao originally didn't intend to be the producer of this TV series, but because of Yin Xi's insistence later, Xiao Yao agreed to be the producer of this TV series, but he is only one of the producers. In the preparatory work in the early stage, Xiao Yao was basically just understanding the situation, and not many people participated in it personally. Participating in actor auditions was a task assigned to him by Yin Xi and several other producers in partnership, and it was not Xiao Yao's own request. Yes, so he doesn't attach much importance to the final decision-making power, and plans to completely delegate power to the director.

"Really?" Chen Jun said happily.

Chen Jun also knew that what Xiao Yao was talking to him about now was limited to the roles and actors who participated in the audition, and he had no right to change actors for the two roles of Xiao Yao and Yin Xi. The roles of Xiao Yao and Yin Xi as male, female and female respectively were decided before Chen Jun was confirmed as the director of this TV series. When the producer invited Chen Jun to be the director of this TV series, they had already made it clear to Chen Jun that if Chen Jun disagreed, the two parties would not sign the contract at all.

However, even if he didn't have the right to decide one or two roles of male and female, Chen Jun was overjoyed enough after hearing Xiao Yao's words.

The directing power of TV drama projects is generally not as great as that of film directors. Movie directors generally have more say than TV drama directors in deciding the actors of the roles, but not every movie director has absolute decision-making power in this matter, only some top big-name movie directors can Guaranteed to have this power. It is absolutely rare for a TV drama project to completely hand over the final decision-making power of most of the actors to the director.

"Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded, "You, the director, were selected by our producers. Being able to choose you as the director shows that we believe in your ability, and naturally we also believe in your vision of choosing actors."

"Since the final decision rests with me, I don't think there is any need to adjust this list of audition actors." Chen Jundao, "I think the actors on this list are still good, whether they are suitable or not, we can wait until the audition to see Let's make a decision based on their performance!"

"No, this list still needs to be adjusted." Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Why?" Chen Jun asked puzzled.

"Because all the projects led by our company have some rigid regulations on actors!" Xiao Yao said, "That is to say, although the final decision of which actor to use for which role is up to you, the actors for you to choose, in addition to choosing The pre-screening at Jiao Studio must also meet these strict rules! Some people on the current list do not meet these rules of our company."

"Hard rules?" Chen Jun asked strangely, "Since there are certain restrictions on audition actors, don't the casting studios know? Is there a list of actors for the audition? Why does the casting studio give a list of people who do not meet your company's regulations?"

"This can be regarded as my negligence!" Xiao Yao said, "This is our company's internal regulations. It has not been made public, and it was not planned to be made public. In previous projects, those company's internal regulations were to negotiate contracts with actors after the audition It was only brought up with the actors themselves, so it was not sent to the casting studio as a selection request before. But after I read the list yesterday, I feel that there are more people who do not meet the company's internal regulations. I don't want to waste too much time, so I want the casting studio to screen again according to the company's internal regulations and adjust the list of actors for auditions."

"The questions that are only raised when negotiating contracts are usually about remuneration, kissing scenes or shooting requirements for some special scenes." Chen Jun said very interestedly,

"I'm curious, what are those company regulations you mentioned!"

"Since the casting studio is required to adjust the list of audition actors, of course I will tell you this." Xiao Yao laughed.

"First," Xiao Yao stretched out a finger and said, "Actors are not allowed to intervene during filming. They must guarantee that only our scenes will be filmed during filming. This is written in the contract. Those who disagree would prefer to change actors. Of course, this It is only for main actors such as the leading role and major supporting roles, and minor supporting roles, side effects, guest appearances, and group performances are not included. However, the roles to be auditioned this time include major supporting roles. I like the commentary on drama."

"You're not allowed to intervene?" Chen Jun was surprised, and then nodded.

Actors don't cut scenes, which is helpful for the director team to arrange shooting plans, and he, the director, is also happy to see it.

"Second," Xiao Yao stretched out another finger, "Whether it is a film project or a TV project, it is mainly for TV projects, the actors use the original voice, and there is basically no need to find another voice actor in the post-production. The same sound is used in the shooting. Recording, if the on-site recording effect is not good, it must be supplemented by the actor himself in the later stage. This also means that, let alone those Mr. Numbers and Miss Numbers, they are willing to speak lines, but actors with poor line skills are also not. The same , only for the main actors, small roles are not included in this scope. There are some actors in this list, I have never heard her original voice in his film and television works, they are all dubbing."

"No need for a voice actor?" Chen Jun was surprised again. But instead of nodding this time, he frowned.

Relatively speaking, this is causing trouble for the director. No need for voice actors, all use simultaneous sound recording and post-recording by the actor himself, which means that professional voice actors cannot help and improve the performance of the actors in the later stage. put forward higher requirements.

"Third," Xiao Yao stretched out his third finger, "no matter how big the actor is, normal literary dramas don't use doubles. In terms of action scenes, unless it involves dangerous actions involving the actor's own safety or some professional stunts, The use of doubles is also not allowed. The characters in this modern urban drama are ordinary people, and the biggest action scene is the fight scenes of ordinary people. There are no actors in some racing scenes, so this drama will not have any doubles!"

"You don't need a double in literary or martial arts? So strict?" Chen Jun was surprised, "According to you, most of the actors now don't meet the requirements of your company. Especially those star actors, there are a few who don't make plays and don't need a double. Without a voice actor?"

"There are a lot!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "However, there are so many actors in China now, and there must be many actors who can meet these requirements. I believe we can still find actors who meet the requirements."

"Actually," Xiao Yao continued, "This is just our requirement for actors. We also have internal requirements for behind-the-scenes work, but it has nothing to do with casting, so I won't say more!"

"Come on, let's hear it!" Chen Jun said curiously, "I have also been aware of the formation of the crew, and I have almost found the staff behind the scenes, but I haven't heard of any internal regulations!"

"Okay," Xiao Yao counted with his fingers, "The filming of TV drama projects, cameramen, and shooting equipment are all in accordance with the standards of filming. Props and scenery, whether it is a movie or a TV drama project, must make every scene All have credibility. There must be no typos in the subtitles in the later stage. The last one includes photography, props, costumes and all aspects of the later stage, that is, no cheating is allowed. This cannot be absolutely eliminated, but once discovered, all relevant personnel must be punished!"

"What kind of company are you?" Chen Jun said in surprise.

"A conscientious company with pursuit!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Do you suddenly feel that our company is a clean stream in the industry?"

"Conscience, Qingliu?" Chen Jun said with a smile, "You really have the nerve to say it!"

Xiao Yao smiled and didn't speak, but his expression did not look embarrassed at all.

"But it's true after thinking about it!" Chen Jun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay! If this is the reason, I agree to adjust the list of audition actors."

In the list of audition actors given by the casting studio, there are also some popular star actors. Although these actors are not completely good at acting, Chen Jun also knows that some people must not be able to do the three points Xiao Yao said.

The casting studio chooses those people, in addition to considering the TV drama project itself, there is also no lack of consideration for itself. After all, there is an influential entertainment company behind those popular star actors. The casting studio chooses those people to build a good relationship with those companies, so that other casting projects can get better actors in the future. resource.

The same is true of Chen Jun's considerations. He didn't sign with any company. He is considered an independent director. By cooperating with those traffic stars, he can build a good relationship with the entertainment company behind him, which will also help him to take on projects and work in the future.

However, as an independent director, Chen Jun not only needs resources and contacts to connect with the work, but also has artistic pursuits.

The requirements Xiao Yao said are all aimed at actors, but if this is really done, the work of director Chen Jun will become more difficult. After all, it must be easier to shoot with post-dubbing, and it must be easier for the director to direct stand-in actors than to direct star actors. However, as a director with artistic pursuits, Chen Jun could not raise any objections to Xiao Yao's requests.

Considering it from another perspective, since Xiao Yao's company has put forward so many demands on the actors, it also shows that they also have pursuit of the quality of the works. If he can really make a work with an excellent reputation, it will be of great benefit to him as a director.

"If Director Chen is convenient, I would like you to go to the casting studio with me in a while." Xiao Yao said, "We don't say who are not allowed to audition, but let the casting studio give these candidates Actors send a supplementary note, adding these three requirements. For actors who can’t do it, I believe they themselves don’t want to make a trip in vain.”

"No problem!" Chen Jun said, "I'll go with you!"

As the producer and producer of this project, Xiao Yao can tell the casting studio about it by himself. To inform him in advance is to show him a lot of respect as a director. Now that Xiao Yao invited him to go with him, Chen Jun didn't want to refuse.

"If possible, I hope that the actors in every TV drama project I direct in the future can meet the requirements you mentioned," Chen Jun said again, "When I was filming before, I also wanted to raise these requirements for the actors, but unfortunately I just A director, not a producer, the current industry environment..."

"Oh~" Chen Jun sighed, "If all production units are like your company, the average level of our TV series will definitely not be what it is now!"

"Even if the production unit is willing, the investors may not be willing!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "As you said, the general environment is like this. However, we can't ask others, at least we can ask ourselves. I said these are ours. The company's internal regulations, that is to say, as long as it is a project led by our company, we will make these requirements for actors. If you want to be comfortable in filming, you can cooperate with us more in the future!"

"Okay!" Chen Jun said with a smile, "In the future when your company asks me to make a movie, I will definitely choose to cooperate with you first."

"How about that," Chen Jun said suddenly, "Is your company signing a director? If you like me, why don't I sign a long-term contract with your company to film movies for your company."

Chen Jun is an independent director, and he only accepted the job by word of mouth in the industry. Compared with those directors with corporate background, Chen Jun is at a disadvantage in all aspects. He also thought about finding a contract with a film and television company, so that with the support of the company and a good team, whether it is accepting jobs or filming, It will be easier and more comfortable. Over the years, it is not that no film and television company has extended an olive branch to him, but either the big company looks down on him or he looks down on other companies. After chatting with Xiao Yao, he suddenly found that this young company seemed to be a good choice.

"Are you serious?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Chen Jun nodded seriously.

"Our company does not sign actors and entertainers, but we do have contracted directors, screenwriters, producers and other behind-the-scenes personnel." Xiao Yao also put on a serious expression and said, "But to be honest, our company signs these people. It's not a random signing. Although you are also a well-known director in the industry, if you really want to sign a contract, you have to wait until we have cooperated once before considering it. If the quality of this TV series is good, and you are willing , we will seriously consider signing a contract with you."

Now the contracted directors and screenwriters of Young People Film and Television Company are basically newcomers. Although they have drive and ideas, they lack experience. At the company's annual meeting at the end of last year, the company decided to sign some experienced and good directors. Chen Jun in front of him is a very good choice in terms of age, experience and reputation of past works.

But signing a contract is not a trivial matter. Even if it seemed suitable, Xiao Yao did not agree casually. Not only their company has never cooperated with Chen Jun before, but the founders of the company have never cooperated with Chen Jun before as actors. Xiao Yao still wants to see the cooperation process of this project and the quality of the final work. Besides.

"Cooperate once first to see how both parties feel and wish, it's very reasonable!" Chen Jun nodded.

"But I want to remind you a little bit." Xiao Yao said again, "We can only manage ourselves, not others. Therefore, the regulations of our company will be firmly implemented only in the projects we lead. Even if you become our company contracted director, we cannot guarantee that every project you participate in will be led by our company. Of course, if you are the director of our company, we will try our best to fight for your rights in the project, but we cannot guarantee that every You can have absolute authority in the project.”

"Of course I understand that." Chen Jun said with a smile, "With a company like yours that can do its best to support me, I am already very satisfied."
