my life is running wild

Chapter 104 Casting begins! (seeking subscription 24)

After completing the equity distribution of the film, the day of casting came soon.

With the help of [Perfect Look and Feel], Liu Chengyin successfully selected the actors recommended by various companies and signed up by himself who best matched the scenes he imagined.

After the casting was over, all the previously recruited crew members were also gathered.

On December 12st, Liu Chengyin set off with the crew to the first filming location to start filming.

The first scene is not far away.

It is in an ancient city within the jurisdiction of Shanghai City that is usually used as a local tourist attraction.

Liu Chengyin will finish all the outdoor scenes in the movie here.

At this time, Liu Chengyin's current fame had an effect.

After the Shanghai Tourism Bureau learned that Liu Chengyin planned to take pictures in their tourist attractions, they gave Liu Chengyin a big discount.

This allowed Liu Chengyin to successfully obtain the closed use rights of the several scenic spots he wanted to use at a price less than [-]% of the budget.

At the same time, this made Liu Chengyin's already overflowing budget appear surplus again.

Having said that, because Liu Chengyin once again used a large number of "preferential actors" provided by various companies, this caused a surplus in the budget for actors' remuneration.

so distressed~
Soon, Liu Chengyin's crew began filming the first scene of the new movie.

""Chasing, the Dreamer", Act [-], Scene [-], start!"

After shouting, No. [-] closed the black and white striped slate in his hand with a "click", and quickly stepped aside.

No. [-] snatched the "first boot board" again.

"Chasing, Dreamer" is the name of Liu Chengyin's new movie.

This name is the same as "Young Symphony", although it sounds a bit strange, but there is something hidden in it!

On the surface, the name of the movie means that this is a story about "the protagonist pursues the girl of his dreams".

But in fact, it also implies two other readings!
First, the first type:
Break the title according to the sentence segmentation rule.

Chasing the/person in/dream.
Then it will be lined up from top to bottom:

Chase.

in a dream.

people.

Then read only the first word in the word, word.

That is "Dream Chaser"!
It means: the protagonist is a "dream chaser", this is a story about the protagonist pursuing his dream.

It implies that this story is not just a love story of the protagonist chasing a girl, but also a story of the protagonist pursuing his dream life, and the protagonist is the "dream chaser".

Yet another interpretation is:

Remove the comma in the movie title, and the title becomes "Dream Chaser".

Meaning: Don't "stay" and chase the person in your dreams!

It means: If you have a dream, go after it quickly, don't hesitate or linger in place.

Of course, Liu Chengyin is just playing a small game on the title.

Liu Chengyin would be very happy if he could be discovered by his "confidant".

However, he never thought of trying to rely on Mother Liu to understand the words he concealed in the title through these twists and turns.

It mainly depends on the expressiveness of the plot and the picture!

The scene to be filmed now is about the protagonist, in order to get closer to the girl he likes. Under the cover of his bad friend, he runs to the place where the girl works without telling his family, and wants to apply for a job.

Speaking of which, this episode is because Liu Chengyin was too involved in the play after he replaced the protagonist of the script, and couldn't help shouting in front of 039: "Who can be worse than me~ah!".

In this way, 039 was inspired to create the plot, characters, and lines of this scene.

The scene roughly goes something like this:
Jiao took a newly hired actor to the door to sell miserably, and told the recruiter that he really wanted a job to make money for the elders to see a doctor.

The other party was moved by the protagonist's filial piety, and the protagonist knew how to read, and they happened to be short of someone, so they planned to recruit him and pay three months' salary in one go.

Seeing that the protagonist is about to be successfully hired.

At this time, a person came staggeringly behind the protagonist.

The man was covered in wounds and sores, and was vomiting blood. He was pulling a cart full of corpses behind him, and he was leading a dispirited dog. All you need is three taels of silver, and you can sell your body and bury your whole family!

What's more, just arrived at the place, at this time, the dog just passed away.

People who recruit people have a look.

Sigh~ The other party is not only as literate as the protagonist, but also worse than the protagonist. The most important thing is that the money he got from prostitution is only the protagonist's salary for half a year!

After thinking for a second, the other party instantly gave up their plan to recruit the protagonist and decided to hire the one who was worse and cheaper.

Take advantage of the recruitment manager to go back and get the money.

One is to get the desired position, and the other is that the protagonist also feels sorry for the other party, so he takes out money and tries to spend money to make the other party leave.

However, how do you know that the other party is actually a dead-headed "rotten scholar", no matter what the protagonist says, he is not willing to bury his relatives with the money obtained by relying on this "bribery".

The protagonist has no choice but to "compare" with the other party.

While showing their abilities, the two sides showed their tragic situation and "lower limit".

Of course the protagonist can't compare to the opponent in terms of misery.

At this time, the protagonist had a plan, picked up a wooden stick from the ground and smashed it hard on his arm.

The sticks were all broken.

However, relying on his background in martial arts, the protagonist has nothing to do, but he took advantage of the situation and pretended to have a broken hand.

After some "comparisons", the scarred man lost his mind, picked up a stick, and smashed it on his own head.

At this time, the steward came back, just in time to see the scene where the scarred man hit himself on the head with a stick.

Blood rushes.

"Who can be worse than me~ah!"

After speaking, he fell down.

The protagonist was frightened, said "I didn't do this, you testify to me", and prepared to retreat.

At this time, the recruiting manager threatened that if the protagonist does not give him half a year's free labor, he will not testify for the protagonist.

The protagonist originally wanted to educate the other party with the "Criminal Law" he had learned on weekdays, but when he thought that he didn't care about the half-year salary at all, and that he really wanted to work here so that he could meet the girl he liked, he agreed. Do the math after the fact.

In this way, the protagonist successfully entered the place where the heroine was.

Under Liu Chengyin's guidance, the actor's thoughts and emotions can be accurately conveyed through vivid expressions and body movements, combined with the cooperation of the camera, the actor's words are easily understood by the audience.

This kind of "understanding" is to make the audience feel as if they have comprehended mind-reading skills. When watching the characters' every move, they can easily guess their thoughts, but they will not feel "out of the play".

Say so
After Liu Chengyin's guidance, these actors have become some masters who are very good at playing the "gesture" part of "You Gesture, I Guess"!

Even if they become dumb someday, it is estimated that they can communicate with others by relying on the "gesturing" ability of their hands, so as to live a relatively normal life.

(ps: Although the plot of "Tang Bohu" is used, in order to conform to the creative situation of the protagonist, some nonsensical things have been rounded out and some logic has been added while retaining the funny plot)
