085 Preparation before shooting
Ye Fan saw the finalized list and asked, "Did Chen Minghao lose a little weight to play Yu Yifei?"
Chang Li said amusingly: "Is he still thin? He's already so fat. His acting career will be narrow, and it will be even harder for him to get roles if he gets fatter."
Li Geng also nodded in agreement.
"In my opinion, he should be a little fatter." Speaking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but think of Wu Ershan, that little fat guy. His body shape is quite suitable now.
But Ye Fan thought about it again and decided to forget it, and said, "That's it, I have no objection."
The role of the squad leader seemed to be easy to bully, so I decided to play the role of Cao Jun. He had played Song Yuanqiao in "Young Zhang Sanfeng" and was more in line with this trait.
Wu Linping is played by Niu Qingfeng, who plays Ye Fan's love rival. It seems that Teacher Chang takes good care of this monitor and the role he was given is not bad.
Liu Huahua plays Gao Jinglei, with a ruffian look on his face, which is very suitable for Liu Ye, who has no acting skills at this time, to play his true character.
Yan Danchen still has some baby fat at this time, so he plays Lin Keyu just right.
Zhang Tong plays Wu Dandan. At this time, her appearance can be compared with Zeng Li in school.
Others, Chang Li and Li Geng, also had their own arrangements. It would not be good if Ye Fan was interfering and it spread to the ears of his classmates.
In addition to Leader Huang, Ye Fanfei wanted to bring him in to gather the number of students. Anyway, there were only 27 students in a class originally. With Ye Fan and a few people from Beijing Film Academy, there were only 26 students in total, which was completely enough.
Ye Fan even wanted to recruit Jay Chou to be a transfer student in Bay Area, but he is busy writing songs now, so he should wait until after filming.
Seeing that the matter had been finalized, Li Geng and Ye Fan prepared to leave Chang Li's house. Because today, the 19th, was the weekend, the three of them made an appointment to meet at Chang Li's house.
However, Chang Li stopped Ye Fan and said she had something to tell him. Upon seeing this, Li Geng left first.
Ye Fan asked curiously: "Grandma Chang, what else can you do?"
"That's it..." Chang Li began to talk about the reason.
It turns out that the filming of the TV series will inevitably affect the students' classes. The teachers can provide on-site guidance during the filming as practical teaching, but the cultural classes will definitely be affected.
Chang Li just told Ye Fan that the teachers had already discussed it. Teachers who had dramas would teach on-site in their spare time when they were filming. Students who didn't have dramas would attend classes as normal.
The filming time should be limited to 1-2 months as much as possible, and people like Ye Fan who have important roles will have to make up for the missed cultural lessons on their own.
When Ye Fan heard that this was the case, he didn't care. With his current memory, the cultural class was not easy for him. But Zeng Li, Liu Huahua and others were in trouble.
Ye Fan couldn't help others, but Zeng Li could take her back to Sipingyuan at night to make up for classes. Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel happy. Isn't this a good thing!
However, Ye Fan attaches great importance to shortening the filming time as much as possible. He has not adjusted the number of episodes of "The Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" too much. It is still 22 episodes. However, if Ye Fan or Li Geng have an idea at the moment and want to add more scenes,
I can't tell you exactly when the shooting will take place.
After returning home, Ye Fan began to calculate the production costs. The remuneration of the actors and crew, the rental of equipment and venues, etc. accounted for the majority, which totaled more than 500,000.
Fortunately, the costumes and props of this drama are relatively simple, and the cost is not very high. If you want to have lunch boxes delivered to your dad’s restaurant, you can save a lot of money, and the quality of the lunch boxes will be good.
However, in total, it still cost more than 700,000, and this was even if Ye Fan himself did not receive any compensation.
Fortunately, Ye Fan was confident, and the cost of the TV series he chose was not high, so Ye Fan took some circumstances into consideration and directly set the budget at 1 million, striving to finish filming the TV series in the shortest possible time, and the quality would be better.
Shao, you can be so willful when you have money!
On Monday, when the students in Class 96 heard that the roles had been decided, they were all excited, because Chang Li said again that no matter what role they played, they would be paid a minimum of 200 yuan per episode.
For those who got important roles, the men screamed with excitement, and the women were also excited. This means that their pay must be higher.
The students who did not play an important role felt a little disappointed.
At this time, Chang Li said: "Students who did not get many roles should not be discouraged. Ye Fan considered the feelings of those who had few roles and also set up incentive clauses, because the teachers will also film with the group and will give you on-site guidance.
"
"Even if there are not many roles, during filming, whoever improves his acting skills quickly and performs the role well will be rewarded, and it will not be lower than the salary, so you don't have to be discouraged."
"And the fixed role does not mean that there will be no substitutions. If someone's performance is not good and someone is better than him, we will make temporary substitutions. This is what I suggested to Ye Fan."
Seeing the serious expression on Chang Li's face and hearing what she said, everyone was shocked. Those who were in high spirits just now calmed down instantly, knowing that the teacher was not joking.
As for the students who were minors in drama, they were no longer disappointed when they heard the news, but secretly made up their minds to perform better.
Over at Beijing Film Academy, Changhua and others who knew the news also had the same idea, because their roles were not very important.
Just when Liu Ye and others thought the matter was over, they heard Teacher Chang Li telling them about the arrangements for the cultural class.
At this time, their joyful energy was completely gone, and each of them had a sad face. Fortunately, there was still money to take, which was a little comfort.
Chang Li was very satisfied when she saw the students' condition and couldn't let them get too carried away.
Ye Fan and other leading actors were already in another classroom, reading the script.
This is also requested by Ye Fan, so that everyone can get familiar with the process and brainstorm ideas. It is also a good time to check for gaps in the script!
At this time, Ye Fan also saw the level of Xia Yu and Tian Yu, including Li Geng, who all had good insights into the script, which benefited Ye Fan, Zeng Li and others a lot.
Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Ye Fan and Li Geng discussed it and prepared to officially start the production on the 23rd, the day of frost.
However, after Li Geng looked at the situation that day, he refrained from traveling or praying, and wanted to switch on the phone another day.
When Ye Fan heard this reason, he suddenly had a dark look on his face!
Hearing that Li Geng still wanted to turn on his phone and worship God, Ye Fan refused without even thinking. What a bad habit. Is it a good thing if it comes from Hong Kong Island?
Ye Fan didn't believe this evil. How could he not know the quality of the TV series?
Seeing Ye Fan's firm attitude, Li Geng didn't know what to say, so he informed everyone that the filming would officially start on the 23rd!
In order to save time and money, Li Geng and Ye Fan discussed and decided not to follow the plot of each episode. Instead, they chose to shoot together and then edit later.
Filmed like this, the senior seniors would have no problem acting, let alone Xia Yu and Tian Yu, but it would be a bit difficult for the freshmen.
But this is also the purpose of Ye Fan's setting up the incentive program. Isn't it just to make everyone improve and shorten the shooting cycle?
As long as others make progress quickly enough and get a lot of money, they can force Ye Fan to improve his acting skills, speed up the filming schedule, and save Ye Fan money, so why not?
After a simple opening ceremony, the filming of "The Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" officially began...
------Digression-----
I couldn’t find the cost of the shooting, so I just made up a rough estimate.
The number of words in this chapter is relatively small, so there should be some foreshadowing, so the number of words is not enough.
Chapter completed!
