Chapter 486 When will the kissing scene be filmed?
As time goes by, the three major ball games for the first year of high school in April are progressing steadily.
Badminton and table tennis competitions are also arranged during normal school days.
Basketball games are held every Saturday.
随着8进4和4进2的比赛结束之后,时间便临近了4月底,三大球赛的决赛时间,便在4月30号这天。
However, this matter has little to do with Li Luo and the others. It's just that the members of the Student Union will be responsible for maintaining order on the scene, and the Rock Club will perform on stage.
Apart from that, there's nothing much to do.
Li Luo is not very concerned about the football game. His recent focus is on the preparations for the TV series "Little Joy".
For this purpose, he also downloaded WeChat and added director Wang Jun as a friend to facilitate daily contact and communication.
At the same time, we worked as fast as we could to adapt the content of the novel "Little Joy" into a script format required for filming a TV series.
Thanks to the fact that Li Luo had sufficient experience in writing short play scripts in his previous life, he was not a novice in this area.
In particular, the content of the novel "Little Joy" itself is described based on the images and plots of the TV series in my mind.
The script progressed quite smoothly.
Director Wang Jun is indeed not the kind of director who likes to be autocratic, just as Ying Zhicheng introduced.
Of course, this is probably also because Li Luo himself is the financial backer behind the crew.
The entire project involved an investment of tens of millions, with Li Luo himself accounting for 5 million. Even if he stuffed a few people with connections into the crew, it would be a very normal operation.
Not to mention that he is the author of the original novel and his contract clearly states that he will serve as the screenwriter. Now he is just simply handling the script and doing his job well.
And to be honest, Wang Jun has read the novel "Little Joy", the content is very visual, and sometimes even the shots are set up.
For this purpose, Wang Jun also went to read another novel written by Li Luo, which was completely different in style and was more in line with the traditional online novel style.
The visual sense is far less sufficient than that of "Little Joy".
This is actually a huge difficulty in many adaptation cases of novels into film and television dramas.
Because many writing techniques that can be used in novels may not produce similar effects when put on the screen.
If you want to transform text effects into visual effects, there are a lot of tricks involved.
[Wang Jun]: Teacher Chongran, the project of our "Little Joy" has passed the review, and I will start preparing for the casting of actors this month.
[Wang Jun]: I will ask my assistant to send you some documents and information, which include Huayue Film and Television itself, as well as some actor databases from my personal network.
[Wang Jun]: Then I have some of my own casting suggestions and recommendations. If you have actors or actresses that you think are suitable, you can also send them to me and I will summarize them later.
[Li Luo]: Is the efficiency so fast? It’s only been a month since the contract was signed, right?
[Wang Jun]: Mr. Ying is pushing me very hard, and I don’t have any other projects on hand, so I have to work as fast as I can and try to finish the filming this year.
[Li Luo]: Has the shooting location been determined?
[Wang Jun]: I have communicated with Qianjiang University and its No. 1 Affiliated Middle School. So far, everything is going smoothly and there should be no problem.
[Wang Jun]: It was a bit difficult at first, but fortunately, Wenyue Group was very supportive. It seems that there was an official background behind the essay competition that your book "Little Joy" participated in? After communication, the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School was willing to give in.
[Wang Jun]: Of course, it is probably related to the fact that the original author is also a student of the No. 1 Middle School, and this is also thanks to Teacher Chongran.
[Li Luo]: It’s good as long as you can pass.
[Wang Jun]: The school scenes will be filmed at the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.
[Wang Jun]: As for the family plot, we can just rent a few houses nearby. This is the convenience of urban dramas, and choosing the locations is not difficult.
[Li Luo]: Then I’ll have to trouble Director Wang.
After communicating with director Wang Jun, Li Luo felt relieved.
If the shooting scene of "Little Joy" can be confirmed at Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, he won't have to worry about whether to ask for leave when following the crew.
It would even be more convenient if the scenes shot at the homes of several main characters of "Little Joy" were all chosen as the location at Bi Hai Lan Ting.
If the heroines weren't Xixi and the others, it would be okay to shoot at 1502.
Thinking of this, Li Luo couldn't help but smile, and became somewhat expectant.
Although he had been on film crews in his previous life, those were all short dramas, and he didn't know what was different about the filming of this TV series.
……
Within two days, Li Luo received information from Wang Jun's assistant.
It contains a huge database that summarizes the information of thousands of suitable actors according to gender, age, roles they are good at, etc.
Among them are some of the more recommended actors, corresponding to the corresponding roles that Wang Jun thinks are suitable.
Li Luo scanned it, recorded it in his memory palace, and then ignored it for the time being. According to Wang Jun, he planned to find a few well-known actors in early May to ask about their schedules and intentions, and then arrange an audition in mid-May and late May respectively.
If Li Luo is interested, they can go watch the audition together and give some suggestions on casting.
After all, five million yuan was invested in it, so Li Luo still planned to carefully screen the actors for the main roles.
If something goes wrong and such a good script is wasted, and the five million is wasted, even if Li Luo will not need the five million in the future, he will still feel a little sad.
If this money was used for consumption, it could be used to buy five of Li Guohong's Mercedes-Benz SUVs. He could drive one every week and rest on Sundays, and there would be no duplication.
The largest sum of money Li Luo had ever seen in his previous life was the 700,000 or 800,000 yuan that Xu Youyu invested in him to shoot a short drama.
Now, with just a wave of his hand, five million is invested. Even though Li Luo is not short of the money now, his mentality is still a little lacking.
"After the finals tomorrow, the Rock Club will have to move."
In the evening, when Li Luo finished chatting with Wang Jun and continued typing, Ying Chanxi, who had just finished taking a shower, came in to enjoy the hair dryer service and mentioned this matter to Li Luo.
"Have you decided on a location?" Li Luo asked, "Where should the activity room be moved to?"
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"There's a vacant office on the fifth floor over at the library." Ying Chanxi closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of Li Luo's hand running through his hair, and then said, "Next week the school will gradually clear out some facilities in the gymnasium."
“Once we’re done with it, we’ll fence it off, tear it down and rebuild it.”
"After the finals of the three major ball games are over tomorrow, the Student Union will move some of the equipment and facilities away."
"Your rock club can also use this space. Please ask the students in the student union to help move all the musical instruments in the activity room to the library."
"You are worthy of being the president." Li Luo said with a smile, "Did they really apply for you to go to the library?"
"Yes." Ying Chanxi shook his head, then chuckled and said, "I also applied for the literature club."
"Our literature club is related to reading after all, so it makes sense to arrange it in the library."
"The activity room will also be on the fifth floor of the library in the future. This way, if you, as the president of the literature club, still need to go to the rock club, won't it be much more convenient?"
When Li Luo heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ying Chanxi to have such a little plan. He was a little amused and helpless.
Li Luo didn't know whether it was convenient or not, but it would definitely be convenient for Ying Chanxi to come to the rock club for inspection.
After all, during the literary club's daily activities, if there was something going on with the rock club, Li Luo would simply hand it over to Ying Chanxi and the two vice presidents.
Now, when Ying Chanxi was in the literature club, whenever he wanted to see how Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng were doing in the rock club, he could just walk two steps and get there.
but……
"We are already in the second year of high school." Li Luo tapped Ying Chanxi's head, "This semester will end at the end of June, so it will only be two months in total."
"Next year we will be in our senior year, and we will hand over the club affairs during the National Day. There will be no club activities during normal times."
Ying Chanxi didn't care about that. He snorted and said, "Two months is not bad. At least I got to enjoy it. The gymnasium is being demolished and rebuilt. It will probably be completed after we graduate."
"There's no need to say more about this." Li Luo sighed, "I heard that the dormitory campus will be rebuilt later. An underground passage will be built next to the gymnasium, directly connecting to the dormitories across the street. In this way, boarding students will not have to cross the road to go to and from school."
"Fortunately, we don't live on campus, otherwise we wouldn't be able to enjoy the new gymnasium or the new dormitories. It's really unlucky."
At this point, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi complained for a while, and Li Luo changed the subject and said, "Next month, the crew of Little Joy will be casting, and there will be several auditions. I want to go and take a look."
"when?"
"The specific time has not been determined yet. We will notify you in advance when the time comes. It should be during the weekend."
"Then I'll go take a look too?" Ying Chanxi said curiously, "I've never seen anything like this before."
"Will you be nominated as the leading actress then?" Li Luo said with a smile.
"I don't want to." Ying Chanxi raised his chin and added, "Unless you play the leading actor, I will reluctantly consider it."
"Forget it then." Li Luo said with a smile, "Our acting skills are probably terrible, but we invested five million dollars in this, so we can't mess it up."
The two of them were chatting, and after Li Luo dried Ying Chanxi's hair, the door was pushed open by Yan Zhusheng.
The second person who came to enjoy the blow-drying service arrived.
Ying Chanxi gave up his seat and threw himself on Li Luo's bed, and Yan Zhusheng took the opportunity to sit down at the desk.
Li Luo looked at these two self-conscious and tacit guys and laughed. He picked up the hair dryer and started to blow Yan Zhusheng's waist-length hair.
While enjoying Li Luo's service, Yan Zhusheng glanced at Ying Chanxi on the bed and took the initiative to ask, "Xixi."
"Ok?"
"When will the kissing scene in the MV be filmed?"
Ying Chanxi: "...I'm still thinking about it, don't worry."
