Chapter 116 Questions
It was precisely because of this confidence that Wang Xiaohao didn't care at all whether Jin Ningxin's acting skills were good or bad.
Generally, as long as the appearance is suitable and the acting skills are passable, that's enough!
Therefore, Wang Xiaohao's role in the film is very likely to be outstanding.
For example, Wang Xiaoshuang and Zhen Liang both shone brightly in Wang Xiaohao's movies.
But they will never win an acting award for their performances in Wang Xiaohao's films!
Because Wang Xiaohao didn't give them any room to maneuver at all!
The same applies to Jin Ningxin now!
With this confidence, Wang Xiaohao even planned not to change the actress playing the female tree's childhood role, but to have Jin Ningxin play the role directly.
To be honest, the male and female trees share the same name, and the two female protagonists are exactly the same.
Then, ironically, the role of the female tree girl was played by a different actress.
That would be very strange.
Add to that the issue of not speaking the native language, and it's no wonder that many people couldn't understand the plot at first!
As for the male lead, he's just a supporting character, with very few scenes.
However, he is the white moonlight in the hearts of the two female protagonists, so they must find a handsome guy.
Moreover, he must be a handsome man who can convince the audience.
And you also need to have a youthful vibe!
Only in this way can the swaying window curtains, the bright sunshine, and the beautiful, picturesque feeling of youth be captured.
After thinking it over, Wang Xiaohao decided that it was better to use someone familiar than someone new, so he simply asked Wu Yu to play the role.
Who can blame us when this guy is one of our own?
This is the principle of keeping the good stuff within the family!
Oh, and there's also the female tree's grandfather and single mother, both played by veteran actors from the previous film.
Unless the other person has already joined another film crew!
As for Hiroko Watanabe's current boyfriend, she can just find any cheap and easy-to-use man!
This is what Wang Xiaohao was thinking!
Wang Xiaohao is preparing for a new film, and news that casting has already begun spread quickly, immediately causing a stir among young actors, especially actresses.
After "My Love from the Star", young actors, especially young actresses, have become even more popular with Wang Xiaohao.
Wang Xiaoshuang's outstanding performance in Wang Xiaohao's film back then already made people quite envious.
As a result, Zhen Liang, a top-tier actress, also shone brightly in Wang Xiaohao's film, and quietly became the most popular among the top-tier actresses.
The various endorsements and appearances she has received in the past few months are all incredibly enviable.
Moreover, the roles played by Wang Xiaoshuang and Zhen Liang are not particularly difficult; anyone could have played them.
Now that rumors are circulating that Wang Xiaohao is preparing to shoot his third film, how can those actresses not go crazy?
You could say that Wang Xiaohao is not considered a big deal among directors in China right now; there are probably more than a dozen directors ahead of him.
However, when it comes to attracting female stars, Wang Xiaohao is undoubtedly number one!
In an instant, countless female demons used their supernatural powers to approach Wang Xiaohao, all wanting to eat a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh.
No, I want to discuss a collaboration with Wang Xiaohao, specifically a script!
After Wang Xiaohao finished filming "My Sassy Girl", only Zhen Liang dared to think and act, and went to the hotel to block Wang Xiaohao's door.
Now, almost every prominent female star actively seeks out Wang Xiaohao, wanting to collaborate and ask for roles!
Even some unknown celebrities who haven't yet made it big have tried to piggyback on Wang Xiaohao's fame, hoping to achieve instant success.
When they heard that Wang Xiaohao had already found a female lead, Jin Ningxin, they were all disappointed.
This made everyone realize once again that in the film and television industry, creators are the most powerful and the true stars-maker!
Of course, an unpleasant rumor inevitably circulated among the crowd.
"That Wang Xiaohao is a freeloader! Every time he makes a movie, he tries to latch onto some female star..."
This news was initially released when "My Love from the Star" was released.
However, it didn't generate much buzz at the time!
This time, probably because Wang Xiaohao has once again latched onto Jin Ningxin's coattails, the rumor has resurfaced, and its popularity is incomparable to what it was before!
In many forums and online communities, Wang Xiaohao has already been labeled as a director who lives off a woman.
Wang Xiaohao definitely hadn't heard of this!
Once he reaches his position, he is surrounded by good people, and a large group of people follow him around to make a living.
As long as Wang Xiaohao doesn't go online himself, it's difficult to hear negative news about himself.
In addition, Wang Xiaohao has been busy preparing for his new play and has not been online to browse forums for a long time, so he naturally could not know about these things!
Many people think that directors are busiest when they are filming!
In reality, a director has to be busy from the early stages of preparation until the final release.
This is why it takes many directors several years to produce a film like this!
It's practically impossible to make just one movie a year!
Even if everything goes smoothly during the pre-production of a film, it still takes at least two or three months.
According to Wang Xiaohao's workflow, the script needs to be broken down, the shooting process needs to be created, and storyboards need to be developed.
Only with these things can we send people out to scout locations and find filming locations.
Then, a production team is assembled, and talented individuals from various fields are recruited to join the team.
Especially in China, most film crews are makeshift or temporary teams.
After each filming session, the crew disbands, and when it's time to film a new movie, they have to find new people all over again.
For someone like Wang Xiaohao to open a studio and support the core photography and lighting coordinators is already quite good.
Preparing a film crew is now much simpler!
Otherwise, preparations would have to be made from scratch in every aspect, and just finding enough people would be no easy task.
For example, your long-term cinematographer or lighting technician might take on work for another film crew during your break.
Now that you want to make movies, you can't find the people you'd be comfortable working with.
You'll also need to find other cameramen and lighting technicians to collaborate with.
And they have to get along well; if they don't, they'll argue every day.
Or perhaps the technical skills aren't up to par, failing to meet their requirements. Those are all incredibly frustrating!
There are reportedly two to three hundred different jobs in the film industry, but only a few dozen are commonly used. Gathering all of these jobs would be no easy task.
Then, the director has to worry about everything, from purchasing and renting camera equipment to renting and buying costumes and props.
As for casting and other tasks that are out in the open, they actually only make up a very small part of the director's job!
All of this is assuming everything goes smoothly. But what if things don't go smoothly, for example, if the film funding doesn't arrive on time?
That would be even more agonizing for those who are constantly on the verge of death!
After spending several months getting the crew ready, it will take another month or two to film.
The entire filming period was disrupted by the reversal of day and night, resulting in a chaotic timeline.
Even when others are resting, the director still has to plan for the next day's filming. Getting three to five hours of sleep a day is considered a luxury!
