Crew preparations
The next day, Shen Yi began to prepare for the filming of “The Grandmaster”.
He posted the information about recruiting directors and actors in the circle’s communication group.
Soon people were calling to recommend themselves.
Shen Yi answered several calls in a row, but still couldn’t find a suitable director.
Until a familiar mobile phone number appeared on the screen.
“Hello, Director Zhang.”
Zhang Zhe’s excited voice came from the other end of the phone, “Xiao Yi, I heard that you are preparing for a new movie again. How about you? Will you consider me this time?” “Don’t worry,
I will definitely do a good job. Seize this opportunity and make a good movie. I really want to continue to cooperate with you.” “I
really can’t be a great director, so I can be an assistant director!”
Zhang Zhe said one sentence after another, which made Shen Yi feel at ease. I can’t get a word in.
He actually wanted to find a director who was well-known in the industry and whose shooting techniques were more unique.
After all, “The Grandmaster” is different from the “Three Lives Three Worlds” series that Zhang Zhe filmed before.
As a movie, the visual requirements are definitely higher than those of TV series.
What’s more, the movie “The Grandmaster” in the previous life was filmed by Wang Jiawei.
He is a director who pays special attention to visual sense, and likes to show everything through light and shadow.
In “The Grandmaster”, he integrated the visuals of the film with the vicissitudes of time, the wonders of martial arts, the inner struggle and perseverance of the characters, and strived for excellence in every frame.
In the end, the film also won multiple photography awards.
According to Shen Yi, the current Zhang Zhe is far from reaching this level.
The effect of the filming is definitely different from the previous “The Grandmaster”.
Shen Yi actually wanted to reject Zhang Zhe and replace the film with another more experienced director.
But then I thought about it.
There is no royal throne in this world, and no matter who is replaced, it will never be restored.
Moreover, Zhang Zhe has already gained a lot of growth and training in his previous films.
His shooting techniques and level are improving visibly to the naked eye.
After each film is finished, the next film will surprise Shen Yi.
Maybe he will have his own opinions when filming “The Grandmaster”.
What’s more, as the male protagonist, Shen Yi will often stay on the set.
Just say a few more words when the time comes.
It shouldn’t be a problem to leave this movie to Zhang Zhe.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi reluctantly agreed.
“Director Zhang, then I will continue to leave this movie to you, and you will still be the director.” ”
After the camera is turned on, I will explain to you in detail how to shoot.” ”
You should also watch more during this time. Watch relevant videos and learn.”
Zhang Zhe was overjoyed when he heard Shen Yi agreed.
“Okay, I will definitely study hard and try to make this movie well!”
“Well, it just so happens that I am too lazy to find another director.”
Shen Yi said casually.
“…”
Zhang Zhe was silent for a while and said silently: “I dare you to give this film to me because you are lazy.” ”
Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi, you are really good at poking people’s hearts. Knife!”
[From Zhang Zhe’s resentment value +175]
hung up the phone, and soon a familiar number called again.
Shen Yi took one look, feeling numb, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after answering the phone, Wu Jing’s voice came.
“Xiaoyi, I’m here to apply. What do you think of me?” ”
…I’m sorry, Brother Jing, you’re late. Just now, I appointed Zhang Zhe to be the director.”
Wu Jing was stunned for a while. A bit baffling.
“Zhang Zhe? Isn’t he a TV drama director?”
“It’s like a mountain apart, how can you leave it to him so easily.”
“You should consider me, I think I’m better than him!”
Shen Yi did not go back on his word. As a habit, since I agreed to Zhang Zhe, I won’t make temporary substitutions again.
He could only apologize to Wu Jing.
“Director Zhang does still have room for improvement. I’m giving him a chance to practice his skills.” ”
Brother Jing, you don’t have to worry. I’ve already decided on the candidate.”
Wu Jing’s voice became extremely depressed.
He and Shen Yi worked together before when filming “The Wandering Earth”.
Naturally, I know how easy and hassle-free it is to work with him, and I will be able to win prizes and receive a lot of dividends in the future.
So this time, when he saw that Shen Yi was going to make a new movie, he quickly came to recommend himself.
But he didn’t expect that Shen Yi already had a candidate. He was unwilling to give in!
“What a good relationship we have, but you actually gave priority to Director Zhang instead of me.” “It’s a
shame that I pushed another film contract just to get this movie.”
[From Wu Jing’s Resentment Value +328]
This is what he said , Shen Yi felt a little guilty.
He could only laugh bitterly, “It’s okay, Brother Jing. With your ability, can’t you just shoot any movie?”
After Wu Jing became famous after filming “The Wandering Earth”, he is no longer the young kid he used to be. Directed.
Nowadays, there are many movies being shot by him, and he has no worries about not having any movies to shoot.
Shen Yi also believed that he was a sensible person and should be able to understand this truth.
Wu exclaimed, “Okay, then next time you must give me priority. Just call me directly. I’ll be here at any time!” ”
Okay, okay, I will definitely do it next time.” Shen Yi nodded like garlic. .
On the surface, they appear to be well-behaved, but in fact, they are thinking that next time will be the next time. Anyway, it’s not this time.
…
After deciding to hire Zhang Zhe, Shen Yi withdrew the information about recruiting directors.
Assembling the crew and other inconsequential matters can be left to Zeng Jialai.
Shen Yi’s next task is to identify other leading actors.
Throughout the afternoon, calls kept coming in.
Some are artist managers, and some are artists themselves.
Without exception, everyone’s tone was very eager and they were eager to get the role.
Every time he received a call, Shen Yi checked the identity of the other party.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the delicate and tender female stars, as well as the male stars who look too feminine, will be directly passed by Shen Yi.
Because the theme of this movie is Chinese Kung Fu.
Basically everyone in the movie knows some kung fu and looks in good health.
Shen Yi rejected someone like Yang Tianbao who was so thin that he had ribs and breasts.
There are also boys like Lu Han who look pale and skinny, but Shen Yi also directly rejects them.
In appearance, it is best to have dark skin and rough skin to meet Shen Yi’s requirements.
After passing the appearance level, Shen Yi still wanted to ask the other party if he had any martial arts background.
But now in the entertainment industry, there are really too few Lianjiazi, and there are only one or two who can be asked around.
There are relatively few people who usually exercise.
Shen Yi has written down the names of these people, and they can arrange to audition for the show when the time comes.
