Chapter 93
Li Jinyan asked the employees to rest for a few hours, but he came to the office to prepare to start work.
All he had to do was to dismantle the script of "Moon".
The disassembly here refers to the disassembly of the keywords and contents in the script description, the characters, locations, scenes, props, special effects, costumes, animals, etc. involved in each paragraph.
Usually, this part of the work is done by a director or an assistant director.
This will allow them to fully understand and prepare for the work required by various film departments.
The preparation time for "Youth" was short before, so I directly abandoned the disassembly process, which led to the rush to make schedules and filming later.
Now Li Jinyan just wants to prepare according to the complete process.
Without a reliable assistant director, he can only go on his own.
In the past, when directors were disassembling scripts, they usually used markers of different colors to outline all these elements on the printed scripts.
Nowadays, technology is becoming more and more advanced, and it is easier to disassemble scripts and directly marked with software, which is faster and more intuitive.
The script of "Moon" was written by Li Jinyan on the keyboard bit by bit. He knew all the scenes inside, but the disassembly required enough care and the speed could not be much faster.
It's tedious but has to be done.
For example, the following sentence "Li Fei saw that his fellow disciples were all slaughtered, and his bodies were scattered around the room." It seems that there is not much text.
However, when dismantling, preparations are required from multiple departments.
How many brothers are there in the same school?
Do they need extras or props when they die?
How did it die, what weapons and wounds were involved?
Do you need special makeup and plasma?
Can clothing that is stained with plasma and special effects makeup be used again?
If it is a fairy tale fantasy drama, do you need the death special effects?
Li Jinyan is now in a stable state and is not in a hurry to disassemble the entire script within one day.
The product is produced by my own studio, and there is no time limit. The more refined the polished, the better.
Many script disassembly software nowadays are one-click artificial intelligence AI to help, but for things like movie art, the accuracy and accuracy of disassembly are relatively low.
In the end, the director has to manually review and enter, so it is difficult to be identified directly.
Before he knew it, Li Jinyan worked in the room for more than two hours.
He stood up from the chair and came to the window to relax his neck and eyes.
The small window shows that it is exactly the garden of the community.
There are no naughty children playing, no square dance song, only a few elderly people walking.
When I first chose this house as a studio station, I took into account environmental factors.
Li Jinyan opened the office door lightly and found that there was no sound in the employee's office. He even lowered his voice and walked towards the bathroom.
He really didn't ask these employees to stay up all night to read the script of "Moon".
...
Perhaps it was because of the fishing in the morning that they had enough energy, and in the afternoon, Duan Zhang, Guo Anbing and Wei Shan all recovered.
When Li Jinyan used his mouse to mark the script elements, a knock on the door rang.
"Please come in."
After he finished speaking, he quickly saved the progress.
If the system suddenly crashes or the computer restarts, the previous work will be in vain.
Guo Anbing unscrew the door handle and walked in. She said, "Boss, I threw the script out in the morning, but I have only received some automatic replies so far. No agent has had a formal response."
"They should have read the email specifically. Maybe the email has not been opened now, let alone the script has been read. Don't worry, let alone show me the list of the scripts that have relaxed."
Li Jinyan is not a trump card director.
There is no such email to send, and it will immediately make the other party flatter.
Good actors are not short of books.
Only actors who are neither good nor bad are lacking in books.
Guo Anbing was ready, so she handed over the list she had prepared.
Li Jinyan took it and saw that he was indeed almost all top celebrities and first-line actors, and at the worst they were nominated for the Best Actor.
"I hope there will be at least 3 people in so many people who will reply."
"It should be possible."
Guo Anbing said, "As long as they read the script carefully, they will definitely be attracted by the characters. Such a character that can fully demonstrate their acting skills may not be seen in ten years!"
Li Jinyan smiled, "The premise is that we can take a good photo. Do you have a phone number from their agent here? I will call them in two days to recommend projects to them in person."
The contact information of an agent is easy to find, but contacting an actor through an agent is the biggest challenge.
For brokers, their daily job is to refuse.
There are too many projects and business cooperation coming to you, and you refuse almost every day, which is equivalent to the role of a goalkeeper.
It's hard to convince a broker.
These people are all knowledgeable people. They are not excited because of how good a script is or how rare a character is.
Most of the time, pay is put first.
When they checked a role invitation, the first thing they paid was how much salary the project could provide to the actors.
Because their income is linked to the actor's pay.
Only big projects can make money, but small projects are busy for a long time and have no money.
Only a very small number of agents who have sufficient planning and vision for the career of an artist will spend all their time finding suitable roles for actors.
Obviously, "Moon" can not offer much money to actors, only 1 million Chinese coins.
This number is quite large for ordinary people. You can buy a house or pay a down payment in a third-tier city.
But it is simply insignificant for first-line actors.
The film and television industry has extremely high income, with tens of millions of Chinese coins being paid.
If you contact me by email alone, you may be thrown aside.
That's why Li Jinyan needs to call himself. He has to work hard to promote his project and make the other party feel that the character in "Moon" is tailor-made for the other party and can help the other party's career to a higher level.
Actually, this is a fool.
If a director does not fool people, it will be difficult to mess around in the industry.
From investors to producers, to publishers, and behind-the-scenes personnel, the director needs to do his best to fool them.
A little beautification means being good at depicting a bright future.
If the movie succeeds, it will be a big director, and if it fails, it will be a big liar.
Li Jinyan felt that he was still lacking in this aspect and needed to focus on improving his abilities.
The entire film and television industry is filled with a deception atmosphere, it depends on who is more clear-headed.
For example, Li Jinyan can now say that he wants to invite XX to play the role of Zhang Wei.
People outside must think this matter is correct.
People in the industry can tell at a glance that this is rejected, otherwise they would not use the word "want to invite" but would use the invitation.
Many film and television projects will walk the actors in various early stages.
At first glance, the outside world plans to invite the actor and the actress, and think it is a great project.
As a result, the actual makeup photo was announced, and no one of the invited celebrities came, all of them were small celebrities.
Now Li Jinyan can use this method to promote "Moon".
