Chapter 217: Audition (1)
During the preparation period of the program, the director and screenwriters in the crew each had their own plans, and the camera team had nothing else to do except participate in the program team meeting.
So Lou promised that in order to make the Running Man's lenses better, he appointed the team leader of the camera team to take the members to exercise their physical fitness.
As for the exercise method, there is only one word - running!
Running Man, Running Man, you have to run.
The guests were running. The photographers were also running with heavy equipment. If you want to keep up with the guests, you still keep the camera calm as a mountain, without shaking, and without affecting the program material, which has extremely high physical requirements for the cameramen.
Then you will naturally need to exercise.
In addition, the late-stage group is also one of the key tracking objects of Lou Gong. For the late-stage group, Lou Gong clearly proposed the concept of "subtitle special effects".
It is indispensable to create a variety show, pictures, animation effects, special effects, sounds, subtitles and other elements.
However, in previous variety shows, subtitles played more an explanation role, making up for the shortcomings in audio-visual information.
This time, the building promised that the team should play with the flowers when producing subtitles in the later stage.
For example, floral style subtitles.
The word "花" is not a new thing. It has appeared in Korean variety shows, but it is not as many as it is.
In China, there is still a blank in this regard.
There are many types of subtitles, such as explanatory flower characters, emphasizing flower characters, modifying flower characters, explanatory flower characters, etc.
In addition, the production process of the characters with flowers is quite complicated.
First, we must conceive the content of the flower characters based on the picture information;
Secondly, select fonts according to different contents, match colors, and hand-painted cartoon elements; finally design suitable ways to enter and exit the flower characters.
Writing flower characters not only requires the creator to have a deep writing skills, but also requires divergent thinking.
A large paragraph of meaning should be expressed clearly in a few short words, and it should also be kept as funny as possible to match the rhythm and atmosphere of the clip well.
The most important thing is that you need to constantly learn the current popular words and golden sentences, use them in the right position to play the finishing touch and resonate with the audience.
"Running Man" will become the first variety show in China to use special effects subtitles. This is a challenge for the post-production group and you must make sufficient preparations in advance.
Lou promised to have detailed communication and exchanges with all departments in the program team.
He can't do it, but he will say that he will break up the "Running Man" in his memory as thoroughly as possible and instill it into various departments.
...
When the casting of "Love Apartment" and the film crew of "Running Man" are being run-in and designed.
News about the production of new TV series and a new variety show in the entertainment industry has also spread.
Apart from major satellite TV stations, there is no star attention to the new variety show. After all, most variety shows now have few celebrity seats.
Indeed, the new TV series of TV has received unanimous attention from celebrities in the entertainment industry, especially after the follow-up news that the screenwriter of the drama is a real Taiwanese ace screenwriter, the attention has been further strengthened.
Even many entertainment media have reported on the news that Taiwan screenwriters have made new dramas.
I have to say that sometimes, the circumstances of things are indeed easy to change.
In my previous life, "Love Apartment" not to mention the recruitment of actors, not even when the filming started, not many people really cared about it. It was not until the success of "Love Apartment" that people realized that they were exploring this TV series.
Now, because this drama is created by the screenwriter Future People who have produced several phenomenal TV scripts in succession.
I have already received a lot of attention from the beginning, and there are countless agency companies and artist agents who are proactive in participating in the audition.
However, the drama "Love Apartment" is basically a play by young people, especially the leading actors. The men must be young and handsome, and the women must be handsome.
Because one of the biggest factors that makes "Love Apartment" successful is the handsome man, the beautiful woman, and even supporting roles and even supporting roles have many handsome men and beauties. This is one of the very important factors.
Therefore, for roles with more heavy roles in the play, Lou Chenggong prefers to select newcomers rather than artists from other agencies.
After all, you can sign these newcomers during the audition, and then use this drama to make them famous, killing two birds with one stone.
The auditions for "Love Apartment" are divided into two sessions, one is an internal audition, and the second is the crew going to an art school for audition. If there are still no suitable candidates for the role in the two auditions, then consider inviting outside actors to audition.
In the first audition of "Love Apartment", only two of the eight characters, Lou Chenguo, discussed with director Zheng Wei.
They are Li Xiaomin, who plays Chen Meijia and Wang Jia, who plays Lu Zhanbo.
The two who were admitted in the first internal audition were naturally signed artists of Following Entertainment. They joined Following Entertainment in 2009 and 2011 respectively.
In Lou Chengnuo's opinion, these two people are very consistent with the characters of Chen Meijia and Lu Zhanbo in terms of their personalities and appearance.
This is also one of the main reasons why Lou promised to let Zheng admit them.
As for other roles, Lou Chengnuo failed to find a suitable actor in the company.
The second audition for "Love Apartment" was held at Pengcheng Art School, called the TV series audition, which can actually be regarded as selecting new artists for following entertainment.
Early in the morning, Lou Chengun drove to Pengcheng Art School.
Lou promised to attach great importance to "Love Apartment", especially Zheng Yiu is the first time he has been a director. Moreover, Running Man has not yet prepared a guest list, so he paid attention to "Love Apartment" when he has nothing to do.
"Good morning, Master." Zheng Wei, who was talking to several director assistants, saw Lou Chengnuo coming over and quickly came up to greet him.
"When will the audition start?" asked Lou Chengnuo.
"It's 8:50 am now. According to the agreement with the school, the school will organize students to come at nine o'clock." Zheng Weihui reported.
As an art school, Pengcheng Art School is very welcome to have TV crews come to the school to find actors. Not only will the student union organize the appropriate students to audition, but an office with air conditioning is also empty for the crew to audition.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, there was a little noise outside the office where Lou Chengnuo and Zheng Wei and the producer were.
‘Bang!’ A knock on the door sounded, and a crew member pushed the door in and said, “Director, the students are here.”
"Well, let them start coming in."
Hearing the staff's words, Zheng Wei first looked at the building's promise, and after seeing him nodding, he said to the staff.
Chapter completed!
