Entertainment From Divorce

Ma Guoliang packed up his things and came out of the hotel at around seven o'clock in the evening. He got into a car specially prepared by the crew with his agent and assistant and left, heading to the airport.

In the car, Ma Guoliang sat by the window and enjoyed the night view of this place for the first time.

After joining the crew, I spent most of my time on the set every day.

Ma Guoliang stretched, yawned, and said, "Call me when you get to the airport. I'll take a nap first."

"OK."

Ma Guoliang put on the eye mask, closed his eyes, and fell asleep soon.

Although the filming process went smoothly, due to the full schedule, I did not have a good day's rest during this period.

It is easy for Ma Guoliang to get into the role, but it is more difficult to get out of the role. Only by taking more rest can he get out of the role as soon as possible.

More than an hour later, the car arrived at the airport.

Ma Guoliang got out of the car in a daze, not yet fully awake.

"Teacher Ma, hat and mask." The agent who was unloading his luggage saw Ma Guoliang getting out of the car without any cover on his face and quickly reminded him.

Ma Guoliang immediately returned to the car and put on a mask and hat to hide himself tightly.

He didn't want to be recognized in public, even in a place like the airport. He might make headlines tomorrow and be scolded by some haters the day after tomorrow.

Then the group of people got on the plane back to the capital through the VIP channel. Ma Guoliang fell asleep just like he was in the car.

He was so tired.

Ma Guoliang, who was sleeping, vaguely heard the captain's voice. He tried his best to open the plane a crack, and then noticed that the plane had landed safely.

When Ma Guoliang, his agent, and his assistant came out of the exit, they saw the people waiting in front to pick them up.

It was late at night when I finally got home.

Yesterday, the agent specially hired a cleaner to clean the house.

So the scene in front of me didn't change much from when I just left.

"Be careful when you go back."

The agent and assistant brought Ma Guoliang's things up.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early." The agent yawned and said, "I'll call you early tomorrow morning."

He knew that Ma Guoliang would go to see Tan Yue tomorrow.

Ma Guoliang took out his cell phone, shook it, and said: "No, you can rest at home tomorrow. Your work will not be easy during this period. I set the alarm clock. Don't worry, you can get up tomorrow."

The agent nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back first."

After the agent and assistant left, Ma Guoliang ignored the suitcase, sat on the sofa, took out his cell phone, and looked up Tan Yue's cell phone number.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to make a phone call at this time?" Ma Guoliang looked at the time on his phone - 00:34.

After thinking about it, Ma Guoliang turned off his phone and threw it on the sofa. It was too late.

He was afraid of disturbing Tan Yue's rest, so he planned to meet tomorrow.

Ma Guoliang stood up, pushed the suitcase into the bedroom, took out the clothes inside and hung them on the hangers.

Originally, this was all the assistant's job, but Ma Guoliang felt that it was better to do these small tasks himself.

He had been sleeping all the way. He had passed the most sleepy time, and now he was not sleepy anymore.

Ma Guoliang packed his suitcase, washed himself, and lay in bed at about one o'clock in the morning.

After looking at his phone for a while, Ma Guoliang fell asleep not long after. He dreamed that Tan Yue was about to shoot a new movie, and he was auditioning for the second male lead in it.

The next day, early in the morning.

Ma Guoliang was woken up by the alarm clock, washed up, had breakfast, and then drove to the company.

After arriving at the company, I met many people saying hello while walking from the parking lot.

"Teacher Ma, long time no see!"

"Long time no see. I was out of town some time ago and just came back last night."

"Hello, Teacher Ma!"

"Hello!"

As soon as Ma Guoliang arrived at the door of the company, a familiar voice came from behind him. He stopped and turned his head to see a nimble fat man jumping out of the bus, waving his hands and running towards him.

This man is exactly what he promised.

When the bus arrived at the stop, Xu Nuo, who was sitting by the window, saw a familiar silhouette and thought he had seen it wrong. He remembered that Ma Guoliang was still filming in the south at this time. But the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, so when I opened the door of the official car, I couldn't help but shout out. Unexpectedly, I actually guessed it right.

The corners of Ma Guoliang's mouth raised slightly, with a smile on his face, and he waved hello.

"Teacher Mama, is it really you? When did you come back?" Xu Nuo was a little out of breath when he spoke: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

The two people's eyes met, and they laughed and hugged each other warmly at the door of the company. The two of them were 'good drinking buddies'.

"I got home early yesterday morning."

"Let me take a look at you." Xu Nuo turned around and looked carefully, then smiled and said, "Teacher Ma, I haven't seen you in such a short time. I see you have gained a lot of weight!"

"Isn't this a role requirement?" Ma Guoliang is now very reluctant to recall this painful time of gaining weight.

To gain weight, he eats a lot every day, and he also has hemorrhoids

Xu Nuo stretched out his thumb and said, "It's amazing. I hope the swelling can be reduced."

"This is all trivial, and I can lose it soon." The filming of "Hurry Up" has been completed, and Ma Guoliang of course needs to return to his original figure as soon as possible.

Xu Nuo looked silent. He envied these actors who could get fat if they said they were fat and lose weight quickly if they said they were thin. He sighed and then changed the subject: "I remember the last time I asked you, you said It will take at least more than a month to come back, it’s not even a month yet, why come back so early?”

Ma Guoliang smiled and replied: "The filming progress there is a little faster than expected. I came back after the filming was completed yesterday."

Xu Nuo nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How many more days did you stay?"

When an actor finishes a scene, the company usually takes a few days off. Even if he was in a hurry, Ma Guoliang didn't have to come back immediately as soon as the scene ended. He was a little confused.

"Mr. Tan said that he has something to do with me. Do you know what happened recently?" The relationship between Xu Nuo and Tan Yue is not a secret. Ma Guoliang thought that he could get some information from Xu Nuo and be mentally prepared.

Xu Nuo shook his head: "I don't know. You know, I haven't asked about this kind of thing, and Mr. Tan won't tell anyone else."

"Too."

The two got on the elevator and promised, "Mr. Tan must be looking for something good for you."

He suddenly remembered that the film department held an audition event some time ago, and thought that maybe asking Ma Guoliang had something to do with it.

But after all, it was just my own guess, and I didn't say anything about the promise.

The elevator arrived at the program department and he promised: "Would you like to go to my office and sit for a while?"

"We'll talk about it later. I'll go check in with Mr. Tan first."

President's Office.

Tan Yue came to the company early and had already started processing documents.

Outside the door, Ma Guoliang got off the elevator, went to Chen Ye's office first, and asked, "Is Mr. Tan in the office?"

"Here you are." Chen Ye raised his head, slightly surprised, and asked, "Teacher Ma, when did you come back?"

"I just arrived yesterday." Ma Guoliang said, "I'm going to see Mr. Tan first."

Chen Ye said "hmm" and looked at Ma Guoliang's back. He hadn't seen him for a while and felt that he had gained a lot of weight.

Ma Guoliang knocked on the door, and after receiving permission, he opened the door and said, "Mr. Tan."

"Teacher Ma." Tan Yue stood up, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down."

The two of them were sitting on the sofa. Tan Yue was making tea and said, "Director Lin told me about your filming situation on the set during this period. Not only Director Lin, but also many people on the set were praising your acting skills. Perfect."

"It's better if everyone cooperates, otherwise I wouldn't be able to shoot so quickly just by myself."

"Don't be modest." Tan Yue continued to praise: "You are already the face of our company in terms of acting skills."

Tan Yue didn't mean to exaggerate at all.

In the whole of China, except for one or two famous actors among the older generation of artists, Ma Guoliang is the only Chinese artist who has gone global in the past two decades. "The Truman Show" became a hit abroad, and Ma Guoliang gained many foreign fans.

"It all depends on Mr. Tan's cultivation." Ma Guoliang knew that he could not succeed in the entertainment industry without Tan Yue.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Let's stop bragging about each other in business and let's have tea."

"Thanks."

Tan Yue took a sip of tea and saw from his brows that Ma Guoliang was still a little tired, and said, "I'm not in a hurry here. Why don't you go back and rest for two days."

Ma Guoliang put down his cup, shook his head and said, "The shooting time this time is relatively short. There is no need to take a break. The business is more important."

"Okay." Tan Yue got down to business.

"I have written a new movie recently. The actors have basically been confirmed. Now there is still one protagonist left. I have decided that you should shoulder this burden."

Ma Guoliang opened his mouth slightly, with a surprised look on his face, and his heart was even more turbulent.

Ever since the phone call that day, he had been guessing what it was about. He never expected that it would be a new movie, and he would be the protagonist in the movie.

Last night's dream still didn't open up the pattern.

Everything happened so suddenly, and Ma Guoliang was not prepared at all.

"Is there no problem?" Tan Yue knew that after Ma Guoliang finished a play, it would take some time to adjust before he could get out of the role.

Ma Guoliang said excitedly: "Of course there is no problem."

As I play more and more roles, the difficulty of stepping out of the role has become much better.

People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and all the fatigue on Ma Guoliang's body has been swept away. When he finished his role in "Hurry Up", he thought he would need to rest for a while before recovering, but now it seems that taking on a new drama is the only way to relieve his fatigue. A good remedy.

He has never experienced such a seamless connection to the next drama, and this experience may bring him a different feeling.

But the main thing is Tan Yue's movies. This has happened before, but Ma Guoliang has no interest in new dramas because he has not stepped out of his role.

Tan Yue said: "Wait for me."

"Okay." Ma Guoliang nodded, sighing in his heart, he really fulfilled his promise, this is a great thing!

For him, being able to play a role in Tan Yue's work is more important than anything else.

Tan Yue stood up and went to the shelf where the documents were placed. He pulled out a document and said, "The film is still in the preparation stage. You can rest for a few days."

Then he came over with the document: "This is the character's biography. You should read it first."

Ma Guoliang took the document, took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart, and flipped through the biographies with trembling fingers: "Forrest Gump?"

"Well, that's the main character's name."

Ma Guoliang started reading biographies, while Tan Yue sipped tea without disturbing him, thinking of telling him the general plot later.

Ma Guoliang read it very carefully, almost word for word, for fear of missing a word.

Every time he read a biography of a character, he would read it dozens of times, and sometimes he would add some content to it.

A character biography is very important information for understanding a character.

More than twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. After watching Ma Guoliang finish reading the character biography, Tan Yue said, "Let me tell you the general plot of the movie first."

Ma Guoliang put down the biography in his hand and sat upright.

"Forrest Gump is an imbecile with an IQ of only 75. He was bullied in school to avoid being bullied by other children."

It was impossible for Tan Yue to write the original version of "Forrest Gump" intact. In order to better fit the situation in China, many plots have been modified, but the essence is still the same.

Ma Guoliang didn't say a word during this period. He kept listening to the content of the script carefully. Sometimes he would recall the biographies he had just read based on the plot, so as to better grasp the characters.

"The above is a rough plot, how do you feel?" Tan Yue talked for more than ten minutes. His mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"This script is very good." Ma Guoliang said with a feeling of unfinished content: "This is a very inspirational movie, and the character design is very creative. The protagonist is set as an imbecile, which is very bold and full of ideas. .”

The protagonists of other works either have explosive IQs or extraordinary combat prowess. It would be difficult for other screenwriters to develop a follow-up plot with such a protagonist, but the plot of "Forrest Gump" portrays such a character vividly.

Although he has not read the complete script, Ma Guoliang has a premonition that this movie will be a hit just after listening to the synopsis of the script.

Ma Guoliang has never played a role like "Forrest Gump". For a drama addict like him, he is looking forward to this challenge.

Tan Yue took out another piece of paper and said, "This is one of the plots. You can read it first. We will try the play later."

He had never doubted Ma Guoliang's acting skills, but he still wanted to take a look.

After all, this protagonist is different from other characters, so it is quite difficult for the actors.

"Forrest Gump" is imbecile. If the actor does not control his strength well, it is very likely that he will play this character as a mentally retarded person.

Tan Yue is looking forward to how well Ma Guoliang will perform this role in such a short period of time.
