Chapter 2742 One week

Director Wang: [The actor for the young male protagonist will be decided as soon as possible @OUye. We will start reading in a week. Once the details are revised, we will start filming.]

Director Wang:【Is it okay?】

Ou Ye: [Ah, the order will be made within a week? Then I’ll think about it as soon as possible. 】

Jiang Xiaobai: [Okay, no problem.]

…

Ou is also a novelist and screenwriter.

Because her situation is quite special, and the contract she signed is completely different from others, so other crews may have the director as the main lead, but in Ou Ye's crew, she has to be the main lead.

Whether it's script revision or casting, she is the one with the greatest say.

Director Wang is like a tool, only responsible for filming, and will not interfere with other matters that should not be involved.

In fact, he was not dissatisfied. On the contrary, this was the first time he had worked in this way.

Although it seems that the authority is reduced, the responsibilities are also reduced. If something happens, someone will take care of it.

And if he gets results, that's even better. This is his achievement, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Reading scripts is a new link in the film and television industry in recent years, and it happens before the official start of filming.

Usually, the main creative members sit around and read the script, and everyone goes through the story line together, and everyone reads their own lines.

During the reading process, everyone spoke freely. If there were inappropriate plot logic or loopholes in the lines, they could be modified during the discussion.

After reading the entire script, the revised version will become the final version, and when filming starts, this final version will be the main focus.

The benefits of close reading are obvious. In the past, scripts written by screenwriters often could not be changed after they were handed over to actors.

In some relatively loose production crews, if the actors independently propose more suitable lines, they may be allowed to change them. However, many times actors are also "doing tasks" when filming. As long as they handle it, they will be done, and they will not spend time or thought at all.

Repeatedly study whether the lines are the best.

But if there is a reading session, the actors can add their own understanding of the character along the way and look at the script and lines from the character's perspective.

Therefore, after discussion, everyone will often come up with more appropriate lines on their own, or quickly discover unreasonable parts of the plot and make timely modifications.

In addition, the entire team was not very familiar with each other before the cooperation, and did not understand each other's temperament and work style. However, during the study time, they were able to get in touch in advance.

In this way, when it comes to filming, the efficiency will naturally be higher.

However, the main actors need to be present for the round-up reading. The other actors in "The Time of Light and Shadow" are all in place, but the actor who will play the role of the young male protagonist has not yet been selected. This is the only thing that slows down the process.

So far, all the main actors in the play have been selected by Ou Ye one by one, and they are all those that best meet her requirements.

It's really nerve-wracking to have only this one person left.

Moreover, the candidate must be decided within a week, which is much earlier than they expected.

After responding in the group, Ou Yae chatted with Jiang Xiaobai privately and took screenshots to show her the fans' suggestions.

"There are several candidates, but I always feel that I am not particularly satisfied. They are too girly." Ou Ye was worried.

Today's aesthetics are more "creamy", and pure and clean boys and girls are more popular. This is true, but it seems that sometimes the aesthetics can go astray.

The actors selected by these book friends are all thin, weak, fair-skinned, and cute boys with innocent faces.

When it comes to cuteness and creaminess, not even Hu Shuilan can compare to them!

Ou also doesn't like this. Men are men and women are women. The male protagonist in her mind is good-looking when he was a child, but he still has to be masculine!

Just like Bai Xing, although people use the word "exquisite" when describing him, he himself does not look like a woman.

"Then let's open the audition." Jiang Xiaobai said.

They searched for it themselves, but none of the known actors met the requirements.

I originally thought that book fans might have a suitable candidate in their minds, but the one they chose was not satisfactory either.

There are ten thousand Hamlets out of ten thousand readers. Since everyone has different ideas, of course the original author’s ideas should prevail.

"But time is a bit tight. If I notify you now, someone might miss it, right?" Ou Ye was worried.

The people will be in place within a week, but now even the audition notice has not been sent out.

"Some things also depend on fate. If you can't make it, it probably won't be a good fit." Jiang Xiaobai comforted her.

Ou Ye felt confident instantly, "You're right, then I'll contact Director Wang."

The audition notification was set as soon as possible.

The audition is divided into two rounds. In the first round, you will look at your resume and attach a video of yourself wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. If you pass, an interview will be arranged.

The deadline for submitting your resume is before 24:00 tomorrow night.

There is only a little more than one day in total.

The resume is relatively easy, as it requires verification of age, height, weight, and performance experience.

The video needs to be full body, just a T-shirt + jeans, white on top and blue on the bottom, completely bare-faced, and the video cannot have any beauty filters or other processing.

In the video, the actor does not need to do anything else, he only needs to stand still and turn around in four directions.

In this process, you can see his front face, side face, and back, as well as his overall body, temperament, and demeanor.

The audition notice also comes with a demonstration, which is the format of the introduction, as well as a sample video recording.

"Sister Xiaobai, please take a look, is there anything wrong with this?"

After Ou Ye sent it, he forwarded it to Jiang Xiaobai.

"No problem, I'll forward it for you." Jiang Xiaobai said, and smoothly forwarded this news about character selection.

Netizens were excited and disappointed after watching it——

"This requirement is a bit harsh."

"I think I am qualified in other aspects, but I have no working experience... huh huh."

"Ah, the requirement is 14-16 years old, and you actually meet it? I envy the age of current netizens."

"Oh my god, this casting, I envy this actor for having the opportunity to work with Sister Xiaobai."

"Actors, hurry up, whoever gets this role will have the opportunity to chase stars up close!"

""The Time of Light and Shadow" is about to start filming, ah ah, I'm so excited."

"I think Huang Chen is suitable for this role. I have to inform him quickly!"

"Huang Chen should forget it. He looks like a bad boy. I think Chen Jiang is the best."

…

Jiang Xiaobai stopped paying attention to the news after she finished posting. She could actually roughly guess that the actor chosen in the end was probably someone who was not as famous as a newcomer.

Because those famous ones have already been screened by Ou Ye, but they are all dissatisfied due to various reasons.

It doesn't matter whether the actor is a newcomer or not, as long as his acting skills are up to standard and Ou Ye is satisfied in other aspects, then that's fine.
Chapter completed!
