After the audition, the crew was successfully formed.

The filming of "Dragon Hard Boy" has officially entered the next stage - the production stage.

The production process is not just about shooting.

Before the official filming, there was still a lot of work to be done, such as actor styling, costume design, set construction, location selection, storyboard drawing, script trial reading, etc.

In Xiangjiang, due to the low cost, these tasks can be saved.

Like Ye Jin, the actors' styles are basically random, and they can make do with their costumes, and they have never painted the storyboard before filming. Some scenes did not even have a complete script, let alone studying the script.

But in fact, these tasks are very necessary. Actor styles, costume designs, etc. can increase the texture of the movie. The reason why movies are more advanced than TV series is because their texture is better.

In the martial arts drama of Wireless TV, the waterfalls are perfunctory and plastic cloth are replaced by cliffs, and the cliffs are completely set, which looks much worse.

Story shot drawing and script study, etc., seem to be troublesome, waste time and increase costs. But in fact, sharpening the knife does not delay chopping wood. The more you prepare in the early stage, the more effort it saves when shooting.

...

Ye Jin also had one more task, which was to learn guitar.

In the movie, he arranged a guitar singing scene for the male protagonist, which was used to play the heroine.

Ye Jin can sing, but he can't play guitar.

Although he can play randomly and then use the post-dubbing to correct it, for the sake of the texture of the movie, he still hopes to play it really.

Because the musical literacy of the Americans is generally high. Music classes are the core courses of the school. Unlike music classes in the mainland, they are always misappropriated and abolished. In addition, almost every school has a music club, and there are no fewer people who form their own bands in middle schools.

If Ye Jin plays it randomly and is seen through, it will be very embarrassing. Just like in a costume drama, the heroine plays the guqin and looks at the fairy spirit, which is so beautiful. But in fact, even the position of the guqin is wrong, it would be embarrassing.

So Ye Jin thought about it and learned to play guitar suddenly. Even if he was not proficient, he would not make low-level mistakes at least.

In order to learn to play guitar, Ye Jin specially hired a student from a well-known music school in Los Angeles to teach himself at a salary of twenty dollars per hour.

...

Time passes day by day.

Actor styling, costume design, set construction, script trial reading, storyboard, location...all work is ready one after another.

At the script trial reading meeting, Lin Qingxia first met the heroine of "Dragon Hard Boy", Michelle Pfeiffer.

The script trial reading session is a roundtable meeting that invites all artists with lines in the play to sit together to read the script.

Its purpose is to check the fallacies of the lines; and to help the actors become familiar with the role.

In mainland film and television dramas, lines that do not conform to the role and do not conform to common sense often appear.

For example, "My grandfather was killed by the Japanese devils at the age of nine", "You have fallen into my trap again", "The emperor, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang revolted in Daze Township", etc.

It is because the [Script Trial Reading] link is missing, which makes the error not discovered in time, so such shocking lines appear.

"This girl is so beautiful!" Lin Qingxia said sincerely after seeing Michelle Pfeiffer.

Michelle Pfeiffer has blonde hair and blue eyes, youthful and beautiful temperament, which makes her as a beauties feel amazing.

"She is indeed very beautiful." Ye Jin nodded.

Michelle Pfeiffer played [Catwoman] in "Batman Returns". During the movie promotion, her single poster was stolen, so the police had to arrange a special patrol. It shows how charming she is!

"Hmm?! Do you think she is beautiful too?" Lin Qingxia looked at Ye Jin suspiciously.

"Of course. I am neither blind nor aesthetically chaotic. Of course I know she is beautiful." Ye Jin smiled, "If I'm not beautiful, why should I choose her as the heroine?"

"Then do you think she is beautiful, or me?" Lin Qingxia continued to ask.

"Not to mention this, the lover's eyes show Xi Shi. You will always be the most beautiful woman in my heart." Ye Jin held her hand and smiled.

"You can talk." Lin Qingxia said proudly, "But I still have to stay with the crew and stare at it."

"Okay, supervision is welcome." Ye Jin nodded, saying with a clear conscience.

Although Michelle Pfeiffer is pretty, to be honest, he really didn't want to attack her.

The reason is very simple. The drama "Dragon Hard Boy" is really too important. He doesn't want to stage the [Fenghuo opera Zhuwu]. Because of a woman, the whole movie was ruined.

Seeing that he was so open-minded, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but feel more confident in him.

However, her idea of ​​accompanying Ye Jin was immediately dismissed because of a call.

The phone call was from Taiwan, and the person who called was the well-known director Song Cun-chan.

He hopes that Lin Qingxia can star in his new film - "Ghost of the Ancient Mirror".

This movie is adapted from the section "Jing Yuanying" in the Tang notes novel "Boyi Ji". It tells the story of scholar Chen Zhonggong saving Jing Yuanying from the dragon's den, which is quite similar to "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Lin Qingxia was discovered by Song Cunqian and starred in "Outside the Window", which was thus able to enter the entertainment industry. Therefore, Song Cunqian had the kindness of supporting her and a kind of love for her.

Lin Qingxia is a woman who is grateful and naturally cannot refuse Director Song’s invitation.

"Brother Jin, I can only go back to Taiwan." She said farewell to Ye Jin.

"Well, I heard him tell the story of this movie, it's pretty good." Ye Jin nodded, "You can act well, maybe it will become your representative work, maybe."

Back then, the reason why Wang Zuqian became a famous star in Southeast Asia was popular in South Korea and Japan was because of her starring in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Although Ye Jin has never seen the movie "Ghost of the Ancient Mirror", it is still good to listen to the story and may also become a masterpiece.

"Well, but after I leave, you are not allowed to do anything." Lin Qingxia sounded the alarm again.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled, "You have been with me for a year, and have you ever seen me do anything wrong?"

"Well, that's true." Lin Qingxia thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I'm really leaving, you take good care of yourself."

"I understand." Ye Jin smiled.

...

After Lin Qingxia left, a few days later, June 5th.

After two months of hard preparation, the filming of "Dragon Wild Boy" finally began.

In fact, it was almost done for two months of preparation.
Chapter completed!
