Entertainment From Divorce

In the following period, Tan Yue spent most of his time writing scripts and even canceled several events.

The importance of the movie "The Godfather" forced him to devote all his energy to dealing with it, just thinking about writing the script as quickly as possible.

Basically I didn't sleep before twelve o'clock.

Seeing Tan Yue's working status, Chen Ziyu kept persuading him, but he couldn't resist and had no choice but to agree.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.

The sound of typing on the keyboard suddenly disappeared from the office. Tan Yue carefully checked what he had written today. After correcting a few typos, he clicked save.

"It's finished! It's finally finished!!!"

Tan Yue quickly slid the mouse wheel and returned to the top of the document, ready to read it again from the beginning.

Although I am checking every day, in order to ensure that I have missed something due to negligence, I still calm down and start checking seriously.

It is the most basic requirement that the script has no errors, otherwise it will inevitably affect the filming progress.

Time passed by, and occasionally the sound of keyboard tapping came from the quiet office.

Just as Tan Yue thought, there were indeed several errors in the previous content. One of the most serious ones was the deviation in the description of the scene.

If we don't check this carefully, the scene will definitely be rebuilt again, and we don't know how long it will be delayed.

Building a scene is a very cumbersome task and may take a few hours or a day.

Tan Yue also modified several lines.

In order to catch up with the progress, many lines were basically translated literally. Now if you slow down and look at it, it will be very lame.

More than half an hour later.

After Tan Yue clicked save, he stretched and looked at the computer screen. The first version of the script for "The Godfather" was completed.

He went to bed late and got up early every day to catch up with the progress, but he didn't feel how tired he was. This time, he completely aroused the desire to fight.

Tan Yue picked up the internal phone: "Xiao Ye, come here now. There is something wrong."

‘Dong-dong-dong, dong-dong-dong. ’ With a few knocks on the door, the office door opened and Chen Ye walked in.

"Mr. Tan."

"Xiao Ye, go to the film department and ask Director Zheng Tong to come to my office. I have something to ask him about."

"Okay." Chen Ye turned around and left, taking the elevator to the film department.

At this time, Zheng Tong was reading the script in the office.

During this period, he obtained many scripts through various channels, but none of them really satisfied him.

The main development focus of Cuican Entertainment Company in the next few years will be movies, and as the director of the film department, I am also feeling a lot of pressure.

Although he knew that with Tan Yue here, he didn't have to worry too much about the company's film development, he also wanted to share some of the pressure.

Let alone finding a film of good quality that can be released globally, at least it can get good box office and good reputation in China.

After reading through the script in his hand, Zheng Tong frowned even more. He resisted the urge to throw the script into the trash can. He sighed and lay down on the chair, looking at the ceiling with a sad face.

In fact, the quality of the script in his hand was pretty good, but it was not the kind of hit he wanted. There were many scripts like this in the company.

“Where on earth can I find a good script?”

Zheng Tong stared blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought. He really wanted to do his part for the film department. He could achieve results even while sitting in the director's position.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He covered his face with his hands, adjusted himself, and sat upright: "Come in."

The secretary pushed the door open and came in, saying: "Director, Secretary Chen is here."

"Let her in."

The secretary turned sideways: "Please come in."

Chen Ye nodded and walked into the office: "Director Zheng."

"Xiaoye, what do you want from me?"

"Mr. Tan asked you to go to the office."

"Going to the office?" Zheng Tong asked: "Ms. Chen, do you know why Mr. Tan is looking for me?"

Chen Ye shook his head and said, "Mr. Tan didn't say anything. I don't know exactly what it is."

"Okay, I'll go over now." Zheng Tong stood up and said to his secretary next to him: "Go and tell Director Wang that the script he sent today is not good."

After explaining, the two people then went to the president's office.

Zheng Tong in the elevator rubbed his forehead, thinking about the movie.

Now the entire company is focusing on the film department and must make some achievements no matter what.

He didn't believe that he couldn't find a good script despite trying so hard.

Zheng Tong was thinking about who else he could contact. Many people stayed silent for several years in order to write a script, and even had no direct contact with the outside world.

After working in the film industry for so many years, I also have my own network of contacts. However, he has already called everyone he can contact to inquire. Either the script has not been written or it is still being written. Two of the scripts did not meet the requirements.

"Who else is there?" Zheng Tong muttered in a low voice. He had been suffering from insomnia recently and often lay in bed unable to fall asleep at two or three o'clock.

As a result, the whole person seems to be in a poor mental state.

Through the mirror-like elevator wall, Zheng Tong looked at his haggard appearance and suddenly realized that he had been too anxious during this period.

Although he thought that even if the quality of Tan Yue's movies was not up to par, it would still be fine if the difference was not too great, but in fact, he had always used Tan Yue's movies as a standard when selecting scripts.

I hope that the movie script I choose can also create a miracle at the domestic box office.

But now think about it, how many people in the circle can be like Mr. Tan?

Zheng Tong seemed to have figured it out at this moment. Even if it can't be a big hit, it can be a small hit. What's more, who can be sure that the selected drama will not be a hit.

Then I no longer felt too melancholy about the script.

‘Ding Dong’ The elevator stopped on the eighth floor.

Zheng Tong followed Chen Ye towards Tan Yue's office, wondering what work arrangements he would have if he was called over.

Is it a new script? Or the development of the film department?

Just when he was thinking wildly, he saw Chen Ye knocking on the door.

After hearing Tan Yue's voice, Chen Ye opened the door.

"Mr. Tan, Director Zheng is here."

Tan Yue said "hmm": "Xiao Ye, pour me a glass of water."

"OK."

"Mr. Tan." Zheng Tong greeted.

Tan Yue pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down first."

As soon as Zheng Tong sat down, Chen Ye brought the tea over and said softly: "Thank you."

Tan Yue focused on the computer and said, "Xiao Ye, I sent a file to your email. Print it for me and send it to me. I will use it later."

"Okay." Chen Ye left the office quickly.

"Why are you not in good spirits?" Tan Yue looked up at Zheng Tong, only to notice that his face was haggard and he had some dark circles under his eyes.

Zheng Tong touched his chin and replied with a wry smile: "I've been a bit insomniac recently and haven't slept well."

"Are you worried about work?"

Seeing Tan Yue's serious look, Zheng Tong did not hide anything and told him about his situation.

"You!" Tan Yue sighed and comforted:

"You have been the director of the film department for so many years, and you should know that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. If it could be solved in a hurry, domestic films would have already sold well in the global market. Development is about development, don't be anxious, take it step by step. One mouthful You can’t become fat by eating, so be patient. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. There are so many of us and we can solve the problem by working together.”

"I understand, Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue said with a smile: "It's good to know that the film department cannot do without you. Pay more attention to rest. Only by having a good body and a good mental state can you devote yourself to work better."

Zheng Tong nodded heavily.

"It should take a while before things are printed. Please tell me first about the status of the recently received script."

Zheng Tong said: "I saw it"

More than ten minutes later.

A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two. Chen Ye came in and said, "Mr. Tan, these are the printed things. They have been sorted out."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After Chen Ye left, Tan Yue said: "This is a movie script and story outline. Take a look."

"script?!"

All kinds of thoughts flooded Zheng Tong's mind: Mr. Tan has a new script! What kind of movie could this be? This movie will definitely be released simultaneously around the world again! It turns out that the reason why you came to me today is about the new script!

He himself didn't even notice that the corners of his mouth were grinning so happily that they almost reached the base of his ears.

"Yes." Tan Yue said: "This is the script of a movie I just wrote. How about you help me read it?"

‘Let me see how it goes, you really think highly of me. I don't have this ability. You don’t need to read it to know it’s a good book. ’ Zheng Tong just thought about these words in his heart without saying them out, and replied: “Okay.”

"It's actually a gangster movie!"

Zheng Tong looked at the synopsis of the story he had read in his hand in surprise, because in this era, all police and gangster movies were shot, and there were very few gangster movies with such a pure taste.

"As long as you know about gangster movies, I'll explain it to you. Just read the script." Tan Yue looked at the computer screen and processed the email.

Zheng Tong couldn't wait to open the script and read it, which gradually brought back memories of his childhood.

When he was young, he watched a lot of Hong Kong gangster movies. At that time, he was very envious of gangsters and hoped that he could be as powerful as the gangsters and have a group of underlings.

Zheng Tong still remembers that after watching the movie, he took the boy from the same village to a fight. Not only was he beaten up, but his father also used a belt to 'greet' him when he got home.

Although it has never been imitated since then, every time I see this kind of gangster movie, I will watch it again and again.

Time passed by, and the only sound in the office was the sound of typing on the keyboard and the turning of paper.

Zheng Tong watched with great enthusiasm.

Once you see it, you will read it word for word, not wanting to miss any small details.

After reading it, Zheng Tong couldn't help but praise: "It's great, this is such a good script!!"

Tan Yue put down his work: "Have you finished reading?"

"I've finished watching it." Zheng Tong was slightly excited: "I loved watching gangster movies like this when I was a kid, but the ones I watched most at that time were Hong Kong movies, the 'Young and Dangerous' type of movies. After watching "The Godfather" This script gave me a different feeling. Let's put it this way, Hong Kong movies talk more about loyalty, the loyalty of a younger brother to the club, but now it suddenly feels like a group of gangsters fighting. And " "The Godfather" made me see more power, conspiracy and means. There are not many fighting parts, but the gangsters' intimidation and extortion are vividly displayed in it, and the feeling is very different. This movie will definitely be a hit!!"

Tan Yue nodded and said: "That's right. The historical background of this movie is different from that of Hong Kong movies. Hong Kong movies mainly take place in the 1990s, when new things collide with each other, and the future is full of hope and hope. Unknown, this background reflects the youth and passion between brothers. The background of "The Godfather" is in the United States in the 1950s. Everything is progressing but there are various restrictions. The implementation of various policies has led to various The birth of opportunities is also changing. The transformation of the Corleone family shown in this era is more restrained and profound."

Tan Yue said this to help Zheng Tong better understand the background of "The Godfather" and help with subsequent work, including the construction of the shooting location and the preparation of costumes and props.

"So that's it." Zheng Tong nodded thoughtfully, seeing that the script did not pay attention to time. Since the gangster movie that appeared in his mind was naturally the most impressive movie.

"If you have any questions after reading this, you can ask me now."

"Story shots of this place."

Facing the questions raised by Zheng Tong, Tan Yue also answered them one by one.

"Any other questions?"

Zheng Tong shook his head and said: "No more, there are only so many problems for the time being."

"When you are working on a split-shot script, come to me anytime if you encounter any problems." Tan Yue said, "Go ahead and do your work. I will send the electronic version of the script to your email later. Please check it."

Zheng Tong took the script and left Tan Yue's office excitedly. He felt light and airy as he walked. The anxiety he had felt during this period was directly washed away by this movie.

""godfather"!"

Zheng Tong looked at the two big words on the first page of the script and felt that the movie "The Godfather" would definitely be a hit, because it was completely different from the gangster movies he had seen in the past. Obviously, "The Godfather" was of a higher level and more It fits the scene of imaginary gang war.

What surprised him even more was that he didn't expect Tan Yue to know so much about this period of American history.

Zheng Tong has also been exposed to foreign gangster movies. He doesn't know if there are any movies as exciting as "The Godfather" abroad. He only knows that this is the best one he has seen so far. He is very much looking forward to turning the script in his hand into a movie. That day.

"I must go to the cinema to see it then."

As the elevator door opened, Zheng Tong quickly returned to his office. He first arranged for his secretary to print out several copies of the script, while he continued to read through the script.

After everything was ready, we hired several senior screenwriters from the company to start writing the storyboard script for "The Godfather".
