the next day.

All the artists passed the audition.

Although the acting skills of this group of artists contracted by Aurora Media are average, Luo Yuan is quite satisfied with their attitude. He is confident that this group of inexperienced actors can perform exceptionally well.

Train actors!

This in itself is one of the manifestations of the director's ability.

Before the actors were confirmed, all staff from various departments of the crew were already in place, including production, stage management, photography, recording, etc. Most of them were contracted by Aurora Media, and some were elderly people who had already cooperated with Aurora Media.

, finding an acquaintance to cooperate can save some time for the crew to adjust.

"Nothing fancy."

When Ai Xiaoai was setting her makeup, Luo Yuan personally guided her: "Bei Weiwei is a coquettish beauty, and flaming red lips are the basic requirement. Her hair must also be made into flamboyant waves. As for the costumes in the play, I want her temperament to be...

A certain amount of aggression."

It’s different from the previous life.

In the previous life, Bei Weiwei, played by Shuangmeizi, took the innocent route. This may be the director's intention. After all, Shuangmeizi is more suitable for this kind of role of a little bird, but in the original work, Bei Weiwei is a girl with a beautiful appearance and a hot figure.

, a woman with a relatively independent personality. She is beautiful, domineering, and sexy. Otherwise, she would not be able to play the role of the Red Swordsman——

Swordsman in red!

Charm is the charm.

Ai Xiaoai started working as a part-time model in college, and her style was more like that of a royal sister. Heavy makeup was not a problem, so in Luo Yuan's mind, she can be said to be the best candidate to play Bei Weiwei.

"OK."

The makeup artist nodded in agreement.

Xia Ran is different. This guy has a playboy feel about him. Luo Yuan must get rid of this trait in him: "Xiao Nai's clothes should be mainly plain colors to give people a cool feeling.

, he is taciturn in the play, and if he uses complicated colors, it will look inappropriate."

"clear."

The head of the art team also nodded.

Luo Yuan patted Xia Ran on the shoulder: "You have to continue to figure out the role after you go back. For a long time, you are no longer Xia Ran. Your name is Xiao Nai. You are a computer master. When you see a beautiful woman

You can't look around or act mean. If you, the male lead, are not good, then the quality of our drama will be greatly reduced!"

"I see!"

Xia Ran nodded solemnly. He knew that Luo Yuan didn't like other people's playful faces when working. As a friend, he still respected Luo Yuan's habits in this regard——

Even if there are no taboos in normal times.

Luo Yuan said "hmm" and said no more.

In the previous drama, Yang's temperament was very upright, and the costumes and characters were excellent. Although the acting was a bit stiff and some parts were too tight and made it unnatural, many bonus points made it possible.

made amends.

It's enough for an idol drama.

In addition to Ai Xiaoai and Xia Ran, Luo Yuan also expressed his opinions on the makeup of several other actors. The biggest difference from the previous film "A Smile is Beautiful" is the role of Cao Guang.

Who is Cao Guang?

A great talent from the School of Foreign Languages.

He comes from a family of diplomats, has a handsome appearance, and is proficient in several foreign languages. This kind of character can be regarded as a protagonist template that is not inferior to the computer science master Xiao Nai. As a result, in the TV series in his previous life, Cao Guang's background has not been changed, but his personality and behavior have not.

Designed as a cynical hanging thread.

Luo Yuan felt bad.

It's okay to be cynical. I always feel that everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober. This is the arrangement of the original work, and it also paved the way for the first conflict between him and Bei Weiwei. However, with such a good family background, Cao Guang's words and deeds are inconsistent with others.

If it is not consistent, riding a battery-powered bicycle around the campus will undoubtedly make the audience feel inconsistent, so Luo Yuan believes that this character will be more watchable if he respects the original work.

Of course.

This is a deviation from the director's philosophy.

The intention of the TV series in the previous life was probably to have Cao Guang and other characters bring out Xiao Nai's aura as the protagonist, but Luo Yuan felt that shaping Cao Guang was more in line with the original character and could also bring out the excellence of the protagonist.

Can't tell who is right and who is wrong.

Directors each have their own opinions when filming.

After the actors completed their makeup, the crew held a simple meeting. Luo Yuan arranged for the assistant director to be responsible for the scene viewing. He also asked each department of the crew to come up with their own plans within a week. Everyone had the production list distributed by Lu Shaoyan.

I have no doubts about my next work.

The assistant director's name is Su Wen.

This is a dashing short-haired girl, 28 years old, who is also a contracted director of Aurora Media. Before Luo Yuan signed with Aurora, the company invested in Su Wen to film an online drama. As a result, the drama completely failed and the company lost hundreds of dollars.

million funds, so now Su Wen has become Luo Yuan's assistant director.

Su Wen has no objection to this.

Firstly, the company really has no money to continue investing in filming for her recently. Secondly, she herself has realized her own shortcomings. She wants to learn the directing art of Luo Yuan through this job, although the latter is younger than herself.

, but there has been at least one successful experience.

"The green screen is being set up."

At the meeting, the action director looked at Luo Yuan: "Before the green screen is completed, I would like to arrange a trial training for the actors so that they can get familiar with the action scenes. After all, many of them do not have wire-frame skills."

experience of."

"no problem."

Luo Yuan nodded in agreement. In the online game plot of "A Little Smile Is Charming", the actors have many action scenes. In addition to the difficult actions that require a stand-in, there are also many simple tricks that require the actors themselves to perform.

of.

"Is there anything else?"

Luo Yuan looked around.

The team leaders of each department shook their heads: "Everything is ready."

Luo Yuan stood up and said: "Very good, I will finish the shooting as soon as possible after I go back. Everyone should perform their duties. We will try to officially start filming before November 20th."

"no problem."

Everyone nodded together.

After the meeting, Luo Yuan said hello to everyone and returned to his office. Next, he still had many things to prepare for, the most important of which was the split shots——

On white drawing board.

Luo Yuan held a pencil and drew simple lines. Every director has his own way of drawing shots, and Luo Yuan advocates simplicity and likes to use concise and clear lines to replace characters. Zhang Wei and Luo Yuan have collaborated before,

So I am no stranger to Luo Yuan’s creative method of dividing shots...

in the following days.

All departments of the crew are continuing to make preparations.
Chapter completed!
