Chapter 1059: Actor Confirmed, a Gift

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 try out the show.”

"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 also 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 already 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 is too good, it is easy for the audience to have a resistance to the actor.

Many actors who specialize in playing villains are annoying to the audience, and even scold them directly.

It has some impact on the development of actors.

However, as Ma Guoliang said, if the audience has the same image, the actor will be completely bound.

He does not want his actors to have such a situation.

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

"Thank you, Mr. Tan."

"Find a trial scene?"

"I have found it and can start at any time."

After reading the script, Ma Guoliang carefully read the role's scenes.

"Okay, let's start."

Because of the different roles, the state shown by Ma Guoliang is completely different from that in the morning.

This is what a truly capable actor is like.

After the trial scene, Ma Guoliang sat back opposite Tan Yue.

"Impeccable." Tan Yue was very satisfied: "It's confirmed this time. You will be in charge of Byron Hadley's role."

"You will definitely complete the task beautifully."

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

Ma Guoliang took it and said: "There are still some places where the performance is not good. I will study it after I go back."

The two smiled at each other.

"Mr. Tan, I will go back first."

"Okay."

Ma Guoliang got up and left happily with the script and the biography.

He was not unhappy because it was a small role. For him, a drama fanatic, as long as there is a role to play, it's fine.

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

Thinking about the next work plan in his mind.

After a while, he picked up the internal phone.

"Mr. Tan."

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

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

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

The selection of supporting roles or some minor roles will naturally be handed over to Zheng Tong to solve, and Tan Yue only needs to make the final decision.

A few minutes later.

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

Tan Yue picked up a list and said, "The above are the roles in the new movie. Starting this afternoon, see which actors are suitable for the roles in it. Look for them in the company first. If you really can't find a suitable one, look for people from other companies outside. There is only one principle, good acting skills."

Zheng Tong took the document and vowed, "Don't worry, Mr. Tan, leave this matter to me, and the selected actors will satisfy you."

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

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

"Then there is the preparation work for the crew. The preparation work for the crew can be carried out later. The staff who have participated in "The Truman Show", "Forrest Gump" and "The Godfather" will be given priority."

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

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

"No problem."

After the two of them briefly talked about the issues that need to be paid attention to when preparing for the crew, Zheng Tong left in a hurry.

Although it sounds like there are not many things, there are many things to do.

The first is the selection of actors.

He plans to let all the actors who are not on the set of the company come to try. Such opportunities are rare. Whoever is strong can get a role in this movie.

Then there is the preparation work for the crew.

Issues related to personnel, props, costumes, and makeup artists must be prepared one by one.

It will be much easier to leave specific things to specific people.

After Zheng Tong returned to the office, he notified all the supervisors of the film department to come to the meeting.

Prepare to assign tasks.

Although the task was assigned 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 the Douyin platform. The constraints of the live broadcast industry have new regulations, which are stricter than before. The other party has written some illegal contents into the contract."

"Has the legal department read it?"

"It has been read, and the violation has been added."

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

Then he signed without hesitation.

He was still very relieved about the anchor of the company. After all, the live broadcast regulations of Brilliant Entertainment Company are stricter, much stricter than Douyin!

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

After letting Chen Ye take the document away, Tan Yue got up to pack up his things, came out of the office with the car keys in his hand, and just saw Chen Ziyu.

"What a coincidence, I was thinking of looking for 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. There is a call coming in, so hang up first."

Before Chen Ziyu had time to 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?
