Entertainment From Divorce

In the afternoon, just after work time, Chen Ye came in with documents: "Mr. Tan, there are several documents here that need your signature."

The first document was the new media department's large-scale live broadcast promotion plan. Tan Yue had already checked the revised document in his mailbox. There were no problems and he signed it directly.

The second document is that the program department is negotiating with several brands about sponsorship.

Many programs have been broadcast for many years, but there are still many brands that want to invest in sponsorship.

Don’t underestimate the sponsorship of some variety shows. Although the cost is high, it can bring great benefits to your brand.

Especially popular variety shows.

This document had also been approved, but Tan Yue still read it carefully word for word, and signed his name after confirming that there were no problems.

"Xiao Ye, later you go to the TV drama department and tell them that the budget on this document has been recalculated. There are a few places where the flow of funds is not clear. Ask them to refine this." Tan Yue was flipping through it. When the third document was submitted by the TV drama department, there was a vague amount of funds.

"Okay, Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue did not sign it, but let Chen Ye take the document and leave.

After finishing his work, Tan Yue looked at the role list and continued to look for actors for the roles in the movie.

"Who should play the role of the old godfather?"

Tan Yue thought about it and finally opened the company's internal network to find suitable candidates among the company's actors.

The first target is naturally older people.

"This is not good, it has no temperament."

"This doesn't work either. It doesn't feel like what I want."

"no."

"The image is too bad."

During the screening one by one, Tan Yue's eyes fell on Jiao Cheng's profile picture.

When "The Truman Show" was filmed, Jiao Cheng played the role of director, and the effect was pretty good. This time, he could come and try out the role of the old godfather.

During this period of time, Tan Yue could not find an actor who perfectly matched Vito Corleone, so he could only do the next best thing and let the actors try out the roles one by one.

Jiao Cheng's acting skills have always been good, and maybe he can make up for some of the shortcomings in his image through his acting skills.

After thinking like this, Tan Yue took out his mobile phone, found Jiao Cheng's number, clicked on the screen and dialed.

'beep--'

"Hey, Mr. Tan."

Jiao Cheng's voice came from the phone.

"What is Teacher Jiao busy with recently?"

"Since the filming of "The Long Season" was completed, I have been traveling around. I just returned to Beijing these two days, and now I am relaxing at home."

Tan Yue glanced at the time and asked, "Do you have time now?"

"Yes, I have!"

Tan Yue said straight to the point: "I recently made a new movie, and there is a character in it. Do you want to come over and try it?"

"I'll go over now." Jiao Cheng, who was originally lying on the chair, sat up directly.

Whether it's a movie or a TV series, as long as it's Tan Yue's, there's no reason for the actor to refuse.

"be careful on the road."

"He'll be there soon." Jiao Cheng threw his phone on the sofa and quickly changed his clothes to prepare to go to the company.

If it weren't for time constraints, Tan Yue would definitely ask Jiao Cheng to come over tomorrow.

There is no way to save a little time.

Moreover, Vito Corleone is also a protagonist with a starring role, so a suitable candidate must be decided early.

Tan Yue continued to think about candidates for other roles. The third role was Santino Sonny Corleone, the eldest son of Vito Corleone. He had a fiery personality and a messy private life. In addition to his wife, he also had multiple mistresses, but He is very protective of his family and family reputation.

After comprehensive consideration of image, acting skills and other aspects.

Tan Yue took a fancy to Zhang Shengli among many artists.

After serving as the protagonist of "Wolf Warrior 2", Zhang Shengli's film and television works are basically action movies, and his acting skills have become more and more mature through repeated training.

Tan Yue continued to pick up his mobile phone and make calls.

"Du-du-du-du."

"Mr. Tan, I'm sorry, it was too noisy here, I didn't hear you just now." The noise on Zhang Shengli's side gradually became quieter.

"I'm not disturbing you, am I?"

"No, no, I took my wife to enjoy the breeze at the beach today."

"Are you in your hometown now?" Tan Yue remembered that Zhang Shengli's hometown was in Qindao.

"I haven't been home for a long time. I took advantage of the lack of work arrangements recently and went back to my hometown." Zhang Shengli asked: "Mr. Tan, what do you want?"

He hadn't received a call from Tan Yue for a long time. This sudden call made him understand that there must be something coming to him.

Tan Yue said: "It's like this. I recently wrote a movie script and am currently selecting actors for the roles in the movie. There is a role that I want you to come over and try out."

"That's no problem. I'll buy a ticket and go back to the company now." Zhang Shengli sounded excited.

It had been a long time since he had participated in Tan Yue's film and television works. Now that he suddenly had an opportunity, he had to take advantage of it.

"Don't be so anxious. Spend good time with your wife and children today, and it won't be too late to come back tomorrow."

Zhang Shengli wanted to hold on a little longer, but when he saw his wife and children playing not far away, he said, "Okay, I'll buy a ticket for tomorrow morning."

It's been a while since he spent time with his family.

"I won't disturb you anymore, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Tan Yue put down his cell phone and rubbed his frown. Other actors couldn't make a decision directly like Ma Guoliang. They needed to see how their audition turned out.

If it doesn't work, I'll definitely have to find another actor.

This movie is so important.

Not long after, Tan Yue heard someone knocking on the door, saying, "Come in."

"Mr. Tan, Teacher Jiao is here."

Chen Ye came in and said to Tan Yue.

Tan Yue nodded, "Please come in, Teacher Jiao."

Soon, Jiao Cheng walked in.

"Mr. Tan." Jiao Cheng's face seemed calm, but he was very excited in his heart.

Unlike TV series, movies need to be released simultaneously around the world and appear in front of audiences around the world.

At the same time, he is also looking forward to Tan Yue's new movie.

"Teacher Jiao, sit down."

After Chen Ye poured water and left, Tan Yue pulled out a document and said: "Teacher Jiao, this is the movie "The Godfather" I told you about. This is the character you auditioned for, Vito Corleone, and this is his biography. , take a look."

Jiao Cheng took over the biography.

"The character is one of the male protagonists in the play, and it's a good role."

"Protagonist?" Jiao Cheng was obviously a little surprised. On the way here, he always thought that he might be playing a not-so-minor role, just like in "The Truman Show."

But this already made him very happy.

Now that I heard that I was playing the leading role in the movie, I was very surprised.

"Yes, the protagonist."

Jiao Cheng took a deep breath and tried to calm down while reading the biographies.

There will be a audition later, and you need to concentrate on reading the biographies of the characters. If you miss key information, your understanding of the entire character will definitely be biased, which will affect the effect of the audition.

After finally getting such an opportunity, we must seize it firmly.

After reading the character's biography once, Jiao Cheng felt that he still didn't understand enough, so he asked: "Mr. Tan, can you give me a little more time to read it again?"

"Of course there is no problem." After answering Jiao Cheng's question, Tan Yue lowered his head and continued busy with his work.

Jiao Cheng has now completely calmed down, and is concentrating on the character biography, digesting it while getting familiar with it.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Jiao Cheng's understanding of the character slowly deepened.

"Mr. Tan, I've finished reading."

Tan Yue stopped what he was doing and said, "Tell me about your understanding of this role."

Jiao Cheng said: "Although he engages in some illegal activities such as gambling, smuggling and murder, he has high moral standards for his friends and family, and he is decisive in doing things."

In order to allow the actor to better understand Vito Corleone, Tan Yue added many stories about the character when he was young, which is the content in "The Godfather Part II".

It is precisely with such supplementary content that Jiao Cheng has a deeper understanding of the character.

"I'll add some other content for you." Tan Yue said: "This character."

The two chatted for more than forty minutes.

Tan Yue felt that Jiao Cheng had a good grasp of the characters, so he said: "This is the script of the movie. We will have this scene later, so you should prepare it first."

This scene was specially chosen by him to better demonstrate the character of the protagonist.

Jiao Cheng nodded, picked up the script and read it carefully.

The first time is definitely to get familiar with it.

Such a role is a big test for him. Although he understands the role now, it is actually very difficult to really perform well.

Precisely because he knew it would be difficult, Tan Yue did not rush him and concentrated on the work.

After Jiao Cheng read the script several times, he first walked through it roughly by himself, and then started his performance under Tan Yue's gaze.

After the performance, Jiao Cheng asked slightly nervously: "Mr. Tan, are you satisfied with this trial scene?"

Tan Yue said: "Maybe the time was a little rushed. In terms of the trial effect, it is not good but not bad either."

Hearing these words, Jiao Cheng was a little worried and disappointed. He was disappointed with his performance and worried that he would not get this opportunity.

I didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity.

Tan Yue thought for a moment and said: "This role is very difficult. Don't be discouraged. Study more after you go back. I believe you can master the essence of this role."

"Do you still want me to act?" Jiao Cheng felt that he heard wrongly.

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Yes, you can look up relevant information online when you go back. There are some records of this history that can help you better understand the characters."

"Thank you Mr. Tan, I will try my best." Jiao Cheng was very touched.

However, he is still under a lot of pressure. Through today's conversation, he knows how important this role and this movie are. Since this opportunity has been given to him, he must seize it and show it on the big screen in the best possible condition. .

"Let's go back."

Jiao Cheng picked up the script and biographies and left excitedly.

Tan Yue didn't rest, took out his mobile phone and dialed Xin Zhi's number.

The first call was not answered, and a few minutes later I received a call back from Xin Zhi.

Xin Zhi explained: "I was just attending an event and didn't receive a call."

"It's okay. It seems that I called at the wrong time. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Conveniently, today's activities are over, in the car."

Tan Yue said: "I'm casting for a new movie, and I want you to play the female lead in the movie."

"Yes!" Xin Zhi agreed without hesitation.

"This movie is considered a drama about the male protagonist, and the female lead doesn't have much of a role in it."

Xin Zhi said nonchalantly: "It's all trivial. As long as I have a role in your play, it doesn't matter if it's just a supporting role."

Although it was a joke, she could definitely do it.

Tan Yue asked: "How long will it take for the event to end?"

Xin Zhi looked at the agent's outstretched finger and replied: "There are still three days until the end."

"Come directly to me when you come back."

"okay."

Xin Zhi hung up the phone and was so excited that she wanted to shout.

The agent on the side couldn't hold it back and shouted excitedly: "Sister, that's great, you are going to play the female lead in Mr. Tan's movie."

"Calm down, calm down." Xin Zhi pretended to be calm: "I haven't auditioned yet. I'm not sure if I can act."

"I believe in sister's strength."

Xin Zhi clenched her fists unconsciously, determined to win this role.

She wished she could cancel the event now and rush back to the company to get the script.

The agent lamented: "It's a pity that there aren't many scenes."

"It's pretty good. I don't know how many people are vying for a small role. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to audition for the female lead role." Xin Zhi smiled happily.

The selection of several important roles has been arranged for the time being, and Tan Yue can be considered temporarily relieved.

‘Dong-dong-dong, dong-dong-dong. ’

"Come in."

Zheng Tong opened the door and came in, holding a thick stack of paper in his hand.

"Mr. Tan, this is the storyboard of "The Godfather". Please take a look."

"Sit down." Tan Yue took over the script and said, "Let me read it first."

Zheng Tong said "hmm".

After receiving the task, he led several of the company's most senior screenwriters to start working on the split-shot script. Knowing that time was tight, several people stayed up late and worked overtime to catch up with the progress, and completed it in a short time.

However, I was still a little nervous watching Tan Yue check the storyboard script.

This is the first time that several people have worked on a storyboard for a gangster film, so there will inevitably be some problems in it.

The result was just as Zheng Tong expected. Not long after watching it, Tan Yue raised a question: "This place requires the camera to zoom in from the distance to the close-up, and then close-up the actor's face. Modify it."

As he spoke, Tan Yue picked up a pen and marked it.

If the storyboard script is not done well, don’t think about improving the shooting schedule.

Tan Yue looked at it word by word, and when he encountered problems, he made marks on the script.

More than an hour passed.

Tan Yue said: "I'll go back and revise the few things I mentioned to you. Everything else is pretty good."

Zheng Tong stood up and took over the script: "Okay, I'll go back and seize the time to correct the problem."

Tan Yue hummed, picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and rested for a moment.
