Entertainment From Divorce

After Zheng Tong left, Tan Yue made himself a cup of tea and stood by the window thinking about the situation of the main actors.

Considering the importance of the film, he had to be cautious in selecting actors.

Tan Yue took a sip of tea and murmured in a low voice: "Ma Guoliang is fine."

Ma Guoliang's acting skills have successfully entered the circle of veteran actors, and he has completely achieved what he acts like. Even if there is no audition this time, Tan Yue is particularly relieved.

Along the way, the two of them have collaborated more than ten times, so there is nothing to say about their tacit understanding.

Besides, with Ma Guoliang here, he could also help Tan Yue in many places during the filming.

For example, telling actors about a play.

Sometimes actors are in awe of directors, especially young actors, who dare not speak much.

And if Ma Guoliang is here, many actors will come to him to ask questions.

"Old godfather, old godfather." Tan Yue returned to the computer with the cup in hand.

These days, he has been thinking about whether Jiao Cheng can hold up the role of the old godfather.

Jiao Cheng's role is more important than Ma Guoliang's. After all, everything that happens in this movie still revolves around the old godfather.

Needless to say, Jiao Cheng's acting skills were very capable, but it felt like something was missing, which made Tan Yue a little uneasy and temporarily in trouble.

Although the role of Vito Corleone has been given to Jiao Cheng, if a more suitable actor can be found, Tan Yue will personally explain the situation, and Jiao Cheng will definitely understand.

Tan Yue lay on the chair, frowning and staring at the ceiling, thinking in his mind whether there was a more suitable actor.

"How about asking Teacher Fan to come over and give it a try?"

After some ideological struggle, Tan Yue sat upright and picked up the phone.

His main consideration is that Yu Fanshan was born as a sketch actor. No matter what, the audience can always catch some shadows of a comedian in him.

But "The Godfather" will not only be released domestically, but will be released simultaneously around the world.

The audience's inherent impression can be relaxed and they don't have to take it so seriously. Besides, Fan Shan is a truly capable actor.

The phone beeped for a few seconds, and then Fan Shan's voice came.

"Mr. Tan."

"I'm sorry, Teacher Fan. I'm calling you at this time. I'm not disturbing you."

Fan Shan smiled and replied: "No, no, what can an old man like me do?"

Tan Yue joked: "I heard that you have recently received a lot of scripts and invitations from other directors."

"It's true that "The Long Season" had such a huge impact that many directors wanted me to play the old man." Fan Shan also expressed his bitterness in one sentence.

It is undeniable that "The Long Season" did allow him to receive a script again, but the quality of the script was too poor, and the image was almost the same as that of "Wang Xiang". At first glance, it seemed that he wanted to gain popularity, and he was not a good director at all. play.

After playing "The Long Season", he also figured out that even if he had no roles to act in, he would not just accept some bad dramas.

Tan Yue asked: "Are you in your hometown now?"

"No, it's at my son's house. I have nothing to do if I stay alone in my hometown. Come here to pick up my grandson and help my son and his family cook."

"If I remember correctly, your son's home is in the capital."

"That's right, it's more than an hour away from the company. I'm still thinking of waiting for you to come over and have a chat when you are free."

"That's great. I happen to have something to do with you. I've written a new movie here, and there's a character in it that I want you to come over and try. Let's see when you have time?"

"We have time now." Fan Shan said quickly: "I'll leave now, wait for me for more than an hour."

"Teacher Fan, this role is quite difficult and may make your trip in vain."

Fan Shan said nonchalantly: "The result of the audition is inappropriate. It is common for us actors, so what's the harm in making this trip?"

What he was thinking at this time was: This is Tan Yue's movie!

"Okay, I'll send a car to pick you up now."

"No, it's such a waste of time. I can just take the subway there."

"this"

Fan Shan interrupted: "That's it, Mr. Tan, I'll pack up and leave quickly."

"Be safe on the road."

Fan Shan put down the phone, put on some decent clothes and a peaked cap, told his son and hurried out.

No one can resist the charm of Tan Yue's movies.

Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to go to the front desk to explain and wait for Fan Shan's arrival.

Time passed minute by minute, more than an hour later.

Fan Shan arrived at the downstairs of Bright Entertainment Company. As soon as he walked in, he saw the front desk approaching.

"Teacher Fan."

"Hello! I'm here to see Mr. Tan."

The front desk said: "It was Mr. Tan who arranged to pick you up. Please come here."

"Thanks!"

Fan Shan followed the receptionist and took the elevator to the president's office on the eighth floor.

"Secretary Chen, Teacher Fan is here."

"Leave it to me." Chen Ye said, "Hello, Teacher Fan."

"Hello, long time no see."

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Mr. Tan is waiting for you in the office. Come with me."

"good."

Chen Ye knocked on the door gently.

"Come in."

"Mr. Tan, Teacher Fan is here."

"Come in quickly." Tan Yue stood up and went to greet him.

After Fan Shan came in, he greeted: "Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue also came over and held Fan Shan's hand: "Teacher Fan, I haven't seen you for a while. Sit here."

The two of them sat on the sofa, with Chen Ye making tea.

Tan Yue said: "I'm so sorry to have you come here so suddenly today."

"I should be happy to receive a call from you, Mr. Tan. You still remember me as an old man."

"You are too modest."

Fan Shan waved his hand and said: "I have no regrets about being able to appear in "The Long Season". I will be content even if I don't act in the future."

"The Long Season" dropped a nuclear bomb in the TV drama circle, and its impact was far-reaching.

"It's serious, Teacher Fan, your acting skills can still continue, there will be no problem in twenty years."

Chen Ye poured tea for the two of them and went out.

Tan Yue also started to get down to business: "During this period, I wrote a gangster movie and prepared to release it simultaneously around the world. The difficult role I told you is one of the protagonists in this movie. I want you to try it. Give it a try.”

“Is this character a gang boss?”

"Yes, the name of this movie is "The Godfather"." Tan Yue told Fan Shan the basic situation of the movie.

"I have seen some movies of this type before, but I can't remember how many years have passed."

Tan Yue's words brought back Fan Shan's memories from many years ago. He was not unfamiliar with the title "Godfather", but he was surprised that Tan Yue actually wrote such a script.

"Wait for me a moment." Tan Yue stood up, picked up a document on his desk, and said, "This is a biography of the character, as well as a movie script. Please take a look."

Fan Shan accepted the offer excitedly: "Give me some time to get to know this character."

"No problem." Tan Yue made an inviting gesture.

Fan Shan first put the script aside, picked up the character biography and read it carefully.

Through Tan Yue's explanation of the plot of the movie, he has become very interested in this character and feels that the character is very three-dimensional.

Now when the words 'gang boss' are mentioned, many people think of being cold and ruthless, but Vito Corleone is a very emotional person, especially when it comes to his family, he is very protective.

Fan Shan has been in the film and television industry for decades, but he has never played a role like the "Old Godfather" as a gangster.

Because he is famous for his sketches, it is difficult for audiences and directors to associate him with such a character.

As Fan Shan learned more and more about Vito Corleone, his interest grew.

He personally likes this kind of character very much.

It has strong plasticity.

After reading the first character biography, Fan Shan couldn't help but extend his thumbs up and said with emotion: "This character is so well written."

In his heart, he has played so many roles, and the old godfather is the best one.

"Would you be interested in taking this role?"

Fan Shan responded immediately: "Yes, of course there is. Such a role in the actor circle will probably be a bloody one. I don't mean to exaggerate. Even if this movie is not your work, any director can make it. There will be a long queue at the door.”

Tan Yue smiled. The actor who played this role on Earth won the Academy Award for Best Actor and the American Film and Television Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series for the movie "The Godfather".

"There is a scene here. You should prepare it first. We will start auditioning it later."

"Sure." Fan Shan did not rush to watch the plot of the audition, but read the character biographies again.

He felt that he was not ready yet and that he had not mastered the essence of the role.

A good role, a good script, such a great opportunity, of course you must be well prepared.

In the following period of time, Fan Shan read the character biographies several times before looking at the content that needed to be auditioned, but he also combined the character biographies from time to time.

"It's almost done." Fan Shan opened his eyes, walked through the plot in his mind, and said, "Mr. Tan, I'm ready."

Tan Yue had already returned to the computer to handle his work. Hearing Fan Shan's figure, he stood up and sat back on the sofa: "Looking forward to your performance."

Fan Shan took a few deep breaths to make himself feel what he wanted.

Tan Yue watched the performance with great anticipation. This role had too high requirements for actors. If Fan Shan was not suitable, it would be difficult to find an actor.

An old actor is an old actor.

As soon as the audition started, Fan Shan was already in the mood.

Watching the performance, Tan Yue's eyes lit up and he felt that he had found the right person this time.

When Jiao Cheng was auditioning for this scene, his bad feeling was found in Fan Shan.

After Fan Shan's performance, Tan Yue couldn't help but applaud: "Great, Teacher Fan, your scene was great."

"There are still many bad things." Fan Shan felt that his control of the characters was not perfect enough.

Tan Yue shook his head and said: "It's already very good. You should also know how difficult this role is. It's amazing that you can perform like this in such a short period of time. It will definitely be no problem if I give you more time."

Fan Shan was a little panicked, but the next words made him excited instantly.

"Teacher Fan, you will play the role of Vito Corleone."

Fan Shan and Jiao Cheng's audition content was exactly the same, but Fan Shan was more suitable.

"Thank you, Mr. Tan, for giving me such an opportunity."

"You're welcome, you won this role yourself." Tan Yue picked up the freshly brewed tea and said, "Drink tea."

"Then let's have tea instead of wine today, thank you."

The two chatted for a while.

Tan Yue suddenly asked: "You didn't sign with an entertainment company, did you?"

"No." Fan Shan said: "The last entertainment company I signed with was many years ago, but recently several entertainment companies have contacted me and mentioned this matter, but I have not agreed. Now I am older. , once the heat is over, it has no value at all.”

Tan Yue put down the tea set and said, "Don't think so. An experienced actor like you is priceless in any entertainment company. Teacher Fan, are you interested in joining our company?"

"Mr. Tan, please stop making fun of me."

"I mean it."

"This" Fan Shan was a little embarrassed: "At my age, I would have retired long ago in other industries. I'm worried."

"I know what you are worried about, but I just want to say that your joining is a good thing for the company." Tan Yue said: "While filming "The Long Season", I have always had this idea. The winning factor is your acting skills rather than your age, and your acting skills are great. I hope we can work together more often in the future."

Looking at Tan Yue's outstretched hand, Fan Shan's heart moved at this moment.

Age and experience have made him look at many things indifferently, but being an actor has always been the only thing he can't let go of.

Who doesn't want to leave behind a classic work after being engaged in the acting industry?

Of course, the last time I filmed "The Long Season", it was a pleasure working with Tan Yue.

Regardless of the atmosphere of the shooting or Tan Yue's personal charm, Fan Shan wants to continue to cooperate.

"Okay." Fan Shan nodded heavily, stretched out his hands and held them together.

"Welcome!!" Tan Yue was also very happy. From today on, the company has another veteran actor, which enhances the company's foundation.

After a while, Qin Tao was called to the office.

It is up to Qin Tao to sign contracts with artists.

"Mr. Tan, Teacher Fan."

Tan Yue introduced: "This is Qin Tao, the director of our company's artist department."

"Hello, Director Qin."

Tan Yue said: "Teacher Fan agrees to join our company. You take Teacher Fan to sign the contract and explain the specific matters by the way."

"What type of contract do you sign?"

Based on the actor's reputation, acting skills and other comprehensive considerations, Bright Entertainment Company has formulated several different levels of contracts.

"According to the standards of an A-list actor."

Qin Tao replied: "Okay."

Fan Shan was very moved. He didn't expect that Tan Yue would give him such a good contract.

After all, my age is here to stay.
