Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 431 Lin Xina is bored
After reaching the cooperation, Youying urged for the work but did not dare to make a large investment.

On the other hand, Hongmeng simply handed the "My Dream" MV directly to Zhou Hao, letting him be responsible for it from beginning to end.

Zhou Hao simply combined the two tasks and shot this MV as a micro-movie!
Moreover, the original MV of this song is very story-telling. It made many people cry when it was first released on Earth. We can just make a slight adaptation and use it!

This plan was finally approved by Youying.

Anyway, the cost is not high, so just treat it as a test to see what level of micro-film Zhou Hao can direct!

Although movies and TV series are often discussed in parallel, there are actually huge differences between them.

Especially for directors, the skills involved are very different.

Putting aside the differences in camera movements and the like, just talking about the script narrative, the difference is completely different. In a TV series, you can tell a story completely, and basically don't need to consider length and volume restrictions. You can just fill it with as much water as you can. Anyway, there are TV series with 80 episodes everywhere nowadays.

If it really doesn't work, it can be split into the first and second parts.

But movies can’t be made this way. It requires the director to tell a complete story in more than two hours, and requires a highly condensed script with corresponding camera language to convey highly compressed information...

Not every director can handle this kind of work challenge.

So even though Zhou Hao already has the independently directed film "The Beginning" as a resume to prove his experience, Youying still doesn't dare to gamble on his ability to direct movies, and can only start with low-budget films and proceed step by step.

This MV can be regarded as a mock exam.

The investment size of the next online movie will depend on the quality and reputation of this MV!
In just three days, Zhou Hao came up with the first draft of the script for this MV, and made some modifications and additions based on the original MV.

After all, the original background is overseas, and it is impossible to apply all the elements here, so appropriate modifications are necessary.

Also, the original version was a little shorter, so he crammed in some innocuous details in an effort to extend the length of the film to more than ten minutes.

With Youying's expedited processing, all procedures were completed as quickly as possible, and Zhou Hao immediately started filming.

The first step is casting - according to the ideal plan, Xu Lingyue will still play the heroine of the MV.

The female lead in the MV is originally set to be a musician, her age fits the bill after she becomes an adult, and she is also a brand spokesperson... This is the perfect answer.

However, Xu Lingyue refused, with the reason being... she couldn't act and was afraid of being a drag.

In addition, she also needs to go abroad to study intensively and can no longer stay here to film.

There is no choice but to choose someone else.

Sensing an opportunity, Youying immediately began to recommend its own female artists, but Zhou Hao rejected the recommendation without even looking at it.

I asked you to invest in making a film but you were so stingy. Now that I've started making a MV you shamelessly come and ask me to join... You're so flattered!

After thinking it over, Zhou Hao directly called Lin Xina.

"Wow, uncle, I thought you had forgotten about me!" Lin Xina's voice was a little resentful, "You just quit your job and ran away without saying a word, what should I do?"

"I'm here to ask you to work with me, aren't I?" Zhou Hao laughed, "It's just an MV, not that difficult, do you want to take it?"

"Yes, of course!" Lin Xina said immediately, "It's better to shoot a music video with you than to shoot those weird, saccharine idol dramas!"

Zhou Hao burst out laughing when he heard this.

That afternoon, Lin Xina came to the studio to report.

After the Chinese New Year, the little girl seems to have grown up a little bit, and her face has become brighter. Whether it is the three-part face and five-eyes from the front or the lines of the side face, it is so beautiful that people can marvel at God's partiality. In terms of appearance alone, this girl can indeed crush the young actresses of the same age.

After reading the script, Lin Xina pouted and said, "Why is it so short? So boring."

Zhou Hao was amused, "Have you been free lately?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Xina said with a miserable face: "I don't have any movies to shoot, how can I not be idle?"

"Shanhai should have a lot of projects recently. How could there be no movies to shoot?"

"There are many projects, but they are not sophisticated." Lin Xina sighed: "After the beginning of the year, my uncle has handed me many books, but few of them are reliable."

"For the few reliable scripts, I don't like the characters... Anyway, it's not your play, and I always feel it doesn't have that flavor."

Zhou Hao chuckled. This was not a good topic to respond to as it could easily lead to misunderstanding.

He changed the subject and led directly to the other side, "Isn't Liu Wei going to film 'The Undocumented Crime'? Doesn't the female captain in the film suit you very well? The costumes and hairstyles are all ready-made. Just refer to Zhou Shutong's previous positioning."

Lin Xina shook her head repeatedly, "Director Liu said that I look like a trainee policewoman at first glance, not like a criminal police captain... I don't have enough aura to suppress those powerful ones."

That seems to be true, it is indeed a little immature.

"Uncle." Lin Xina moved closer, blinked, and asked, "You are making a movie at Youying, so you can use actors from outside, right?"

Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"

"Use me!" Lin Xina patted her not-so-grand chest, "I'm cheap and obedient, and I'm not picky about roles. I'll play whatever you want me to play!"

Zhou Hao smiled, feeling quite tempted.

Youying does have a lot of artist resources, but none of them are its own!
If I had a few of my own people on hand, work would definitely be much smoother. At the same time, it would also give some pressure to the people at Youying, so that they wouldn't form a group and undermine the director.

"Is this your own idea or your uncle's?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xina's eyes lit up, "It's all the same! As long as I want to come, he can't stop me!"

Zhou Hao: ………………

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent?" Lin Xina said with a smile, "I'll report to my uncle later! By the way, when will the filming of this MV start?"

"Within five days." Zhou Hao handed over a list of actors and actresses. "Ask your uncle to think of a way to complete this list of actors. I don't plan to use anyone from Youying for this MV."

Lin Xina took on the task without saying a word.

With the addition of this little flower, Zhou Hao's mind immediately became active again.

After all, the MV is just an appetizer, and the online movie that follows is the main course.

What kind of movie should I choose to suit Lin Xina’s age and image?

It has to be within her acting range, and also be a hit with a high return rate?

Youth movie?
Romance movie?
Or... an art film that takes a different approach?
Just when he was racking his brains to make a decision, Mr. Xie Tianfei called him personally.

"Xiao Zhou, please come to Southeast Asia for a tour."
