Entertainment From Divorce

Although the male lead has been given to Ma Guoliang, now that he thinks of Zhou Canlai, Tan Yue's original idea of ​​letting someone else play the leading role comes up again.

And this idea is very strong.

Tan Yue was never an indecisive person, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Can's number.

"Mr. Tan." Zhou Can answered almost instantly.

"Are you in the company now?"

"Here, Mr. Tan, what are your work arrangements?"

"Come to my office now. I'll see you if I have anything to do."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Zhou Can put down the phone and said to the agent next to him: "Mr. Tan wants to see me for something. I'll go over there and we'll talk about the script later."

The agent brought him a script and thought the quality was pretty good, and wanted Zhou Can to take over the role.

Since Zhou Can played the role of 'An Xin' in "Hurry", many dramas began to look for him.

He no longer only plays comedy roles as before, his acting options are getting wider and wider.

After the premiere of "Crazy", Zhou Can accepted two scripts, one was a movie and the other was a TV series.

Actors can only make continuous progress through acting.

Zhou Can, who knows this truth well, has been acting directly and has made great progress in his acting skills. I hope that one day, like Ma Guoliang, I can play the leading role in Tan Yue's movie that will be released simultaneously around the world.

The agent replied: "Go ahead and finalize the script today. I'll wait for you here for a while."

I have been receiving this script for some time, and the other party has been urging me.

"Okay, I'll come back as soon as I'm done with Mr. Tan's business." Zhou Can got up and hurriedly took the elevator to the president's office.

This time it was still Chen Ye who helped knock on the door. Watching the actors coming one after another, he became more sure of his guess.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Can greeted: "Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue put down the script and took out the script from the cabinet: "Sit down first, Acan."

Zhou Can pulled out his stool and sat across from him without saying a word. As a socially fearful person, he felt very uneasy looking at the current scene.

After Chen Ye poured the water and went out, Tan Yue said: "There is a script here. I want you to try out the leading role in this play. Do you have time to film in the next period?"

Zhou Can quickly stretched out his hand to catch the script: "There are no work arrangements yet."

"That's good. The script, plot summary, and character biographies are all in it. You should understand it first, and then we can try out the play."

Zhou Can nodded cautiously, already feeling happy.

The script given directly by Tan Yue must be his own new movie. Under normal circumstances, other movies will be directly handled by the film department.

Actors of Zhou Can's status will receive direct invitations from the director.

Besides, Tan Yue just said that he wanted to audition, which made him even more certain.

Zhou Can didn't dare to think too much and carefully read the plot summary to understand what the movie is mainly about.

If it were filmed on Earth, "The Shawshank Redemption" would all have foreign backgrounds. In order to allow the actors to better understand, Tan Yue made some slight changes in the background of the movie's story. All the characters are of Asian background.

It took a few minutes to read the content of several hundred words, and then I took out the script and continued reading.

Because he still had to audition for the show, Zhou Can watched it in great detail, imagining the characters in his mind while watching.

After some time.

Zhou Can raised his head and said, "Mr. Tan, I've finished reading the script."

"Pick a section of it yourself."

Zhou Can thought for a moment and pointed at the script: "Just this section."

"Okay, no problem. Show off your acting skills. This is my new movie. I really hope you can take on this role."

Zhou Can swallowed deeply, and his heartbeat suddenly increased.

Tan Yue was slightly startled and said quickly: "Don't be nervous, just treat it like an ordinary audition. Just act how you show yourself in front of other directors."

"Okay." Zhou Can stood up, adjusted his breathing, and said silently in his heart: It's okay even if you can't be the protagonist, just practice more in the future.

Then I closed my eyes and looked for the state of acting.

Tan Yue looked at Zhou Can and regretted saying that. He didn't expect it would bring such great pressure.

He was now worried about Zhou Can's abnormal performance, but what he worried about did not happen.

After the audition started, Zhou Can showed another state.

As an audience member, Tan Yue felt as if the person in front of him was no longer Zhou Can, no longer nervous when speaking, and no longer as reserved as before.

It's like a different person.

The audition ended unknowingly. Tan Yue clapped his hands and praised, "I haven't seen you act for a while. I didn't expect you to make such great progress during this time."

Zhou Can scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and quickly returned to the state before the audition. He became cautious again and said, "It's okay!"

But I was very happy to be praised by Tan Yue.

"This scene was performed very well. Your performance greatly exceeded my expectations."

Before Zhou Can came, Tan Yue was a little worried. After all, this drama requires very high acting skills for the male lead. "I have been thinking about whether you are suitable for the male lead. Now I think you are very suitable for this role." I’ll leave it to you.”

"Thank you for your recognition of me." Zhou Can was excited and said seriously: "I will not let you down."

"Okay, what I want is your words." Tan Yue said: "Go back and continue to familiarize yourself with the character. If you have any doubts, feel free to talk to me."

Zhou Can stood up, picked up the folder, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tan, I'll go back first."

"Yeah." Watching Zhou Can leave, Tan Yue picked up his phone.

Zhou Can, who was sitting in the elevator, pinched his arm and felt like he was in a dream. I have always dreamed of starring in Mr. Tan's movie again, but I didn't expect that my dream would come true.

Before I came here, I was still discussing with my agent whether to take on that drama, but now I don’t have to think about it anymore.

Any hesitation for even a second is disrespectful to the script in hand.

Zhou Can couldn't hide the smile on his face. It was a rare opportunity, not to mention it was a movie that was released simultaneously around the world.

No matter how difficult it is, you must perform this role perfectly.

Tan Yue on the other side dialed Ma Guoliang's number.

It's not that Ma Guoliang is not good enough, but after watching Zhou Can's audition, he felt that it was more suitable.

And since writing this movie, Tan Yue has been thinking about someone else playing the male lead.

The phone beeped twice and Ma Guoliang answered the call: "Mr. Tan."

"Teacher Ma, I want to apologize to you. I want Zhou Can to play your role."

Ma Guoliang was obviously stunned and didn't speak for a few seconds.

Tan Yue continued: "I think changing Zhou Can is not a problem with your acting skills at all. You know that our company's development plan is to enter the international entertainment industry. You are now very famous internationally. I want to train more people." Personally and by accumulating company heritage, we will be more stable in the international entertainment industry."

"Understood." Ma Guoliang naturally knew the company's development plan.

He has no dissatisfaction. He has played the leading role in three movies that were released simultaneously around the world. There are so many actors in the company. Compared with them, he is very lucky.

Tan Yue said: "I'm really sorry, Teacher Ma."

"It's okay, I just think it's a very good movie. It's a pity not to be in it."

The loss in his heart was inevitable, and Ma Guoliang leaned back in his chair.

"You could play a different role."

"Really?"

Tan Yue replied: "There are many other characters in the movie. You can choose any one you want to play."

"Mr. Tan, can you give me some time? I want to read the script again."

"Of course there is no problem." Tan Yue replied firmly, originally planning to let Ma Guoliang play a role in "The Shawshank Redemption".

If something like this happened suddenly, it would be up to him to make the choice.

The two hung up the phone, and Tan Yue looked at the character list, his eyes locked on the word 'Ellis'.

Now that the male lead has been found, it’s time to consider the second male lead. There is no female lead in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption". After all, the plot revolves around a prison.

Tan Yue then opened the list of actors and thought about finding someone older to play the role.

With this idea in mind, I looked through the list of outstanding elderly artists.

After comparison, Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and dialed Fan Shan's number.

Although there are all powerful actors on this list, after comparison, the most powerful and reassuring one must be Fan Shan.

"Mr. Tan." Fan Shan answered almost instantly.

"Teacher Fan, please come to my office. I have something to ask you."

"Hey, okay."

Fan Shan was thinking as he walked: Just now he asked Brother Ma to come over, and now he calls me, Mr. Tan will have a new movie, right? !

With such a mood, I came to the president's office and knocked gently on the door.

Chen Ye went out to deliver documents and did not sit at his workstation.

"Come in."

Fan Shan opened the door: "Mr. Tan."

"Teacher Fan, sit down." Tan Yue sat on the sofa. He was very tired from sitting in the chair.

Fan Shan sat on a separate sofa: "Mr. Tan, do you have any work arrangements?"

Tan Yue smiled and replied: "I really can't hide anything from you."

Picking up a document on the coffee table: "This is a new movie I just wrote, and I want you to help me take a look."

"New movie!!" Even though I had some guesses before coming here, I was still very surprised when I actually got the script in my hand.

"The name of the movie is "The Shawshank Redemption". It is a drama and crime movie." Tan Yue then briefly introduced the plot.

After listening, Fan Shan nodded and said: "The plot of the whole movie is very good, especially the ending which gives the whole movie a completely different meaning."

"Are you interested in playing a role in it?"

Fan Shan said without hesitation: "That is definitely the case."

Even if you have no idea what the movie is about, as long as it is written by Tan Yue, there is no reason to reject it.

"I plan to let you play the second male lead, Morgan. You read the script first, and then we try out a scene."

"good."

Fan Shan readily agreed.

In the next period of time, Tan Yue sipped tea and waited for Fan Shan to finish reading the script.

"It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. This movie is not inferior to "The Godfather" at all!" Fan Shan said excitedly.

After listening to the synopsis, I felt that this movie was extraordinary. Now that I understand all the plot, it is far more exciting than I imagined.

Fan Shan has been in the film industry for decades and has seen too many directors and screenwriters, but Tan Yue is the only one with such talent.

"Looking for a scene to try?"

"Shall I do it myself?"

Tan Yue said "yes" affirmatively.

Ma Guoliang, Zhou Can and the one in front of me, Fan Shan, are all experienced actors and there are no specific requirements for the content of their audition.

When reading the script, Fan Shan was deeply affected by one of the paragraphs, so he chose this fragment without thinking.

Just like watching Ma Guoliang and Zhou Can audition, Tan Yue sat on the sofa and watched Fan Shan adjust his condition without saying a word.

Fan Shan entered the role faster. In more than ten seconds, the audition officially began with the performance.

If Zhou Can's performance is rated at 95 points, Fan Shan's performance can be rated at 99 points.

The first second the audition officially started, Tan Yue made a decision in his heart.

Fan Shan's acting skills were even more reassuring. There was no lag at all, so he ended the audition.

Tan Yue couldn't help but give his thumbs up: "It was a very correct decision to sign you into the company."

Fan Shan said modestly: "Everyone often says that a thousand-mile horse is always there, but a talented person is hard to find. Without you, Mr. Tan, I might have given up performing now."

After the business exchange ended, Tan Yue got down to business: "Your performance just now was very good. I will leave the second male role to you."

"Thank you Mr. Tan for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard!" Today, Fan Shan seems to have returned to the state of his youth, with a sense of motivation in him.

"If you have any questions, come to me anytime."

After saying goodbye, Fan Shan came out of the office and looked at the script in his hand with unspeakable joy on his face.

In fact, even if it wasn't an important role, he would be equally happy.

Now in his sixties, I am very satisfied if I can still have a role in a play directed by Tan Yue.

Needless to say, "I will definitely work hard," Fan Shan will also try his best to become familiar with the character before starting the filming.

After more than ten years in the industry, he will try his best no matter what the scene is.

This has always been Fan Shan's attitude towards work.

‘ding dong’

The elevator door opens.

Fan Shan lifted his legs and stepped into the elevator, pressing '3' to return to the artist management department. Once you get the script, you should spend all your energy getting familiar with it during this period.

Tan Yue was still sitting on the sofa, boiling the tea, and made himself another cup of tea.

While sipping the tea, I stared at the tea water in the teapot in trance.

I have been busy with casting matters all morning. Now that the first and second male leads have been decided, Ma Guoliang will also choose a role. Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and thought about other roles. .

The remaining characters don’t have too many roles.

After a while, Tan Yue put down the cup, stood up and stretched, feeling a smooth and comfortable feeling all over his body.
