Entertainment From Divorce

Time passed quickly, and it was lunch time before I knew it.

Tan Yue knocked on Chen Ziyu's office door.

"Tzuyu, are you done?"

"I'll finish reading it soon. Just wait for me for a few minutes."

Tan Yue made an 'OK' sign, sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and started reading.

Chen Ziyu continued to concentrate on processing the documents.

A few minutes later, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.

Chen Ziyu said: "Send this document to the legal department, they should be waiting, hurry up."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

"After sending the documents, go straight to dinner."

The secretary responded and quickly left with the documents.

"Are you done?"

Chen Ziyu leaned on the chair and stretched his arms upward to make his shoulders more comfortable: "We're done, let's go eat."

I haven't left the office since I arrived in the morning, and have been processing various documents.

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu came to the restaurant together, ordered food and chatted.

Tan Yue said: "The first and second male leads of the new movie were decided this morning."

"Who should act? Or Ma Guoliang and Fan Shan?"

"That's half right. Zhou Can will play the first male lead, and Fan Shan will play the second male lead." Tan Yue said: "Originally, it was planned for Ma Guoliang to continue playing the male lead, and the script has been given to him. However, considering the company's needs To cultivate more artists who can make a name for themselves in the international entertainment industry, I suddenly thought of Zhou Can and let him have a try."

"Is Zhou Can's performance better than Ma Guoliang?" Chen Ziyu asked.

"That's not the case. The performances of both of them are remarkable. Needless to say Ma Guoliang's current acting skills, it is difficult to find an actor of his age who can equal him."

Chen Ziyu dragged her chin and nodded slightly, agreeing with this point of view very much.

Tan Yue continued: "Zhou Can's progress during this period is very obvious. As far as the male lead in the new movie is concerned, he performed better."

Being able to receive such a high evaluation from Tan Yue, Chen Ziyu can imagine how much progress Zhou Can has made.

‘Dong dong dong’

There was a knock on the door, and the restaurant staff came in with dishes: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Tan, the dishes you ordered are ready."

"Put it here."

I ordered two dishes, as well as rice and steamed buns.

After the employees left, Tan Yue said: "I feel quite embarrassed now that I think about it. I gave Teacher Ma the script and the biographies of the characters, and asked him to go back and prepare. However, not even an hour passed before he was not allowed to act again."

Chen Ziyu swallowed the food in his mouth: "I don't think there is anything to be embarrassed about. For casting, you should choose the right actor. Since Zhou Can is more suitable, let him star. In addition, I think Ma Guoliang will understand, They all know the company’s development plan.”

Tan Yue nodded slightly.

Chen Ziyu said: "With Ma Guoliang's international reputation, we can let him play another role in the movie, which will also facilitate publicity."

For a movie, of course she has to stand from the company's perspective and think about the company's interests.

"I've told him to let him choose a role." Tan Yue put a piece of meat into Chen Ziyu's bowl: "If it weren't for Zhou Can's good performance, the movie "Shawshank Redemption" would still be a bad movie. Guoliang will star."

Chen Ziyu naturally understands that Ma Guoliang is already a brand name. If there is no need to consider the future development of the company, it would be good for Ma Guoliang to play the leading role.

While talking, the lunch ended.

The two returned to their offices, and Tan Yue lay on the sofa to take a midday break.

Tan Yue vaguely heard the sound of the alarm clock on his cell phone. He picked it up and saw that the time was already 1:45 pm.

It's time to go to work in fifteen minutes.

I had a great nap today.

Tan Yue drank a cup of tea. After waking up, he felt extremely energetic. Sitting in front of the computer and reading the script, I thought: I must be too tired during this period.

The anxiety-provoking things have been resolved, and I'm starting to sleep well.

It was just after work time that he heard a knock on the door. Tan Yue looked down at the documents and said, "Come in."

"Mr. Tan."

"Teacher Ma?" Tan Yue raised his head and realized that the person who came in was Ma Guoliang. He thought it was Chen Ye who came in to deliver documents.

I saw Ma Guoliang holding a script and a biography in his hand: "Mr. Tan, this is a biography. I don't need it now. I'll give it back to you."

Tan Yue took the document and asked, "Have you decided what role you want to play?"

"Think about it."

"What do you want to play?"

"Byron Hadley."

"Oh?" Tan Yue was somewhat surprised.

Because this is considered a villain, Byron Hadley is the captain of the guard at Shawshank Prison and a confidant of Warden Norton. He was cruel and often beat prisoners. He inherited an inheritance, but was troubled by the need to pay a large amount of taxes. Andy used his financial knowledge to solve the problem for him. After the warden was reported by Andy, he also received the punishment he deserved.

Then he asked his doubts: "Why do you want to play this role?"

Ma Guoliang replied: "In the past few years, the roles I have played in movies are basically positive roles, and they all leave the same impression in the hearts of the audience. So in this movie I want to try it, with It's a completely different style from the past, so that the audience can know that I have a wide range of roles and can play any kind of role."

Tan Yue did not agree in a hurry, thinking about it in his heart.

It is very difficult to make an audience like a villain. If the acting skills are too good, it is easy for the audience to develop a feeling of resistance to the actor.

Many actors who specialize in playing bad guys are upset by the audience and even directly curse them.

It has some influence on the development of actors.

However, as Ma Guoliang said, the actor will be completely constrained by the same image in the audience's mind.

He really doesn't want this to happen to his actors.

After some comparisons, Tan Yue said: "Okay, since you want to play this role, I'll leave it to you."

"Thank you Mr. Tan."

"Looking for a trial scene?"

"I've already found it and can start at any time."

After reading the script, Ma Guoliang carefully watched the role of this character.

"Okay, let's get started."

Because of the different roles, Ma Guoliang's state was completely different from that in the morning.

That's what a truly capable actor is like, he acts like that.

After Ma Guoliang finished his audition, he sat back down opposite Tan Yue.

"It's impeccable." Tan Yue was very satisfied: "It's confirmed this time, the role of Byron Hadley will be yours."

"I will definitely complete the task beautifully."

Tan Yue stood up and took out a document from the cabinet: "The biography of this character may not be of much help to you."

Ma Guoliang took it and said: "There are still some bad parts in the performance. I will study it after I go back."

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

"Mr. Tan, I'm going back first."

"Um."

Ma Guoliang happily stood up and left with the script and biographies.

He was not unhappy because it was a small role. For him, a drama addict, as long as he had a role to play, that was all.

Tan Yue took a sip of water. The temperature was just right. He drank it down in one gulp. A piece of tea leaf flowed into his mouth through the gap in the filter. It was slightly light when he chewed it. He stood up and poured the tea leaves into the trash can and brewed another cup.

I was thinking about my next work plan.

After a moment he picked up the intercom phone.

"Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue said: "Xiao Ye, ask Mr. Zheng Tong and Zheng to come over."

Chen Ye said "Okay", put down the phone, and quickly rushed to the film department.

The first male lead and the second male lead, the two most important roles in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" have been decided, and then the selection of other roles should also begin.

The selection of supporting roles or supporting roles will naturally be left to Zheng Tong, and Tan Yue only needs to make the final decision.

A few minutes later.

Zheng Tong came to the office, and Chen Ye poured water and closed the door.

Tan Yue picked up a list and said: "The above are the roles in the new movie. Starting this afternoon, we will see which actors are suitable for the roles in it. First search within the company. If you really can't find a suitable one, look for other actors outside. People in the company have only one principle: excellent acting skills."

Zheng Tong took the document and vowed: "Don't worry, Mr. Tan, just leave this matter to me. I guarantee you will be satisfied with the selected actors."

He has always been doing this kind of work. He is very familiar with it and has great confidence in himself.

Although the above are all small roles, Zheng Tong puts 200% of his mind into selecting these actors every time.

"Then comes the crew preparation work. The crew preparation work can also start later. Priority will be given to staff who have participated in "The Truman Show", "Forrest Gump" and "The Godfather"."

In addition to the cooperation between actors, the production of a movie must also be inseparable from the on-site staff.

Tan Yue wanted to find former employees because they had worked together before and they knew what kind of effect he wanted to achieve.

"no problem."

After the two briefly talked about the issues that the crew needed to pay attention to during preparations, Zheng Tong left in a hurry.

Although it may not sound like much, there is a lot to do.

The first is the selection of actors.

He is going to ask all the actors in the company who are not on the set to come over and give it a try. This opportunity is rare, and whoever is strong will get a role in this movie.

Then there is the preparation work of the crew.

Personnel issues, props, costumes, and makeup artists all need to be prepared one by one.

It will be much easier if specific things are left to specific people.

After Zheng Tong returned to the office, he notified all the directors of the film department to come over for a meeting.

Prepare to assign tasks.

Although the task was handed over to Zheng Tong, Tan Yue was not idle. At this time, Chen Ye stood aside and introduced the contents of the document: "This is a supplementary contract sent by Douyin Platform. There are new constraints on the live broadcast industry." The rules are stricter than before, and the other party has written some illegal contents into the contract."

"Has the legal department looked at it?"

"I've already seen it, and I've added the violation."

Tan Yue looked at the contents of the document, and it roughly stated that as long as the anchor violates the rules during the live broadcast, there will be penalties.

Then he signed without hesitation.

He is still very reassured about the company's anchors. After all, Cuican Entertainment's live broadcast regulations are stricter, far stricter than Douyin!

After a busy period of work, it was already time to get off work.

After asking Chen Ye to take away the documents, Tan Yue got up to pack his things and came out of the office with the car keys in his hand. He happened to see Chen Ziyu.

"What a coincidence, I was just thinking about finding you."

Chen Ziyu said: "There was no file processing in the last hour, so I thought I would come over and see if you were done."

"I'm done, let's get off work."

"Wait a minute, I haven't got my bag yet."

"Go get it, I'll wait for you here."

Five minutes later, Tan Yue drove out of the underground parking lot and drove in the direction of Ruishan Community.

Chen Ziyu looked at the messages on her phone and smiled happily.

"What happened? Are you so happy?" Tan Yue saw Chen Ziyu's appearance out of the corner of his eye.

"My cousin has received that Hanfu. She said she likes it very much. She also said that she has been looking at this dress for a long time and has never been willing to buy it."

"Then I gave the right gift this time."

Chen Ziyu put down her phone: "I was worried that she wouldn't like what I bought."

Tan Yue gently pressed the horn. During the evening rush hour, there were many vehicles on the road.

Fortunately, the distance was relatively close. More than 20 minutes later, the car drove into Ruishan Community.

When they got home, the two of them prepared dinner together.

Before eating, Tan Yue specially brought a bottle of red wine and two glasses.

"Why do you want to drink today?" Chen Ziyu asked with a smile.

"The preparations for the new movie have officially begun. To a certain extent, it's a good start. Let's have a drink to celebrate!!"

In fact, after experiencing anxiety for a few days, Tan Yue wanted to relax and have a good sleep at night.

"Okay! Pour me more."

Tan Yue said "yes", but stopped after pouring a little.

Red wine has a strong stamina, but Chen Ziyu’s drinking capacity is not very good.

Today's dinner is stewed steak with red wine. If you light two candles, it will be a candlelight dinner.

While the two were chatting, Chen Ziyu's phone rang.

"mom."

The caller was Mrs. Chen.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I'm eating right now. Have you eaten?"

"We just ate."

The two chatted for a while on the phone.

Chen's mother said: "I asked your brother to mail something to Xiao Yue. He filled in your address and phone number and gave it to Xiao Yue when the time comes."

"What's in the mail?"

"I won't tell you yet, I'll find out when we get there." Mother Chen said, "Think more about the express delivery. A call came in, so hang up first."

Before Chen Ziyu could reply, Chen's mother had already hung up the phone.

"What did Auntie mail me?" Tan Yue heard what was on the phone.

Chen Ziyu put her phone on the table, shook her head and said, "I don't know. I didn't expect my mother to be so mysterious and not reveal it in advance."

"Maybe Auntie wants to give me a surprise!" Tan Yue said with a smile.

"My mom is real"

Not only is Tan Yue looking forward to what this thing is, but Chen Ziyu also wants to know what is it that her mother mailed to her future son-in-law? (End of chapter)
