Entertainment from Divorce

Tan Yue tapped his fingers on the table and murmured: "It's better to be cautious."

From the time I started writing the script to today, I have been considering the choice of the protagonist, but I still haven't made a choice yet, just to be cautious.

Then he asked: "If you were to be the director of this play, who would you choose as the protagonist?"

Zheng Tong looked down at the list in his hand.

Tan Yue seemed to notice his concerns and said, "Just tell me your true thoughts and I will refer to it."

Zheng Tong raised his head and hesitated for a moment, then replied: "If I were the director, I would choose Ma Guoliang as the protagonist of this movie. After "Forrest Gump", "The Truman Show" and "The Godfather" After three movies, it can be said that Ma Guoliang already has the label of "box office appeal". As a director, I will definitely find such an actor to play the leading role. With him, at least the box office is guaranteed. And as we said yesterday It’s the same, which is very helpful for launching later publicity work.”

Although he didn't want to get involved in the selection of the protagonist, Tan Yue had already said it to this extent and had to answer it.

Tan Yue rubbed his brows and thought seriously.

Zheng Tong's words make sense. I had always been worried that Ma Guoliang's frequent appearances would fatigue the audience. On the contrary, I ignored Ma Guoliang's box office appeal.

Although using his own fame to promote the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" will no longer consume as much energy and financial resources as before, the promotion effect will be better if Ma Guoliang is here.

A person may not know the director of a hit movie, but he must know the protagonist in the movie.

"I'll think about the choice of the protagonist again, you go and do your work."

"Okay, Mr. Tan." Zheng Tong returned the actor list to Tan Yue, turned and left the office.

Tan Yue opened the personnel list, browsed it again, took a sip of tea, and came to the window to think.

In terms of age, the company has many candidates who can serve as male leads in movies.

But acting is one aspect that has to be considered.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is a very high-quality movie. If it wants to be effective, the actors' acting skills must be perfect.

The only person who can really make Tan Yue worry-free is Ma Guoliang.

After these days of consideration, he decided to give up the idea of ​​replacing the male lead with someone else.

Ma Guoliang is still allowed to play the leading role.

As Zheng Tong said, if Ma Guoliang plays a supporting role in the play, no one can block his edge, and the protagonist becomes a supporting role.

Not to mention the Bright Entertainment Company, the entire domestic entertainment industry may not be able to find anyone who can block his edge.

And the most important thing is to find someone else to play the male lead. Tan Yue is really not at ease.

Tan Yue's frown relaxed slightly, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and made a call.

‘Du-du-du’.

A few seconds later, a voice came from the phone: "Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue returned to the computer: "Teacher Ma, are you in the office now?"

"I'm here with Teacher Fan, discussing some issues with him."

"Let's put the discussion aside for now. I have something to do with you, so come to my office."

"Okay, I'll go right there."

Tan Yue put down his cell phone, stood up and opened a cabinet. Inside were various documents, including the script, story summary and character biographies of "The Shawshank Redemption".

A few days ago, I asked Chen Ye to print out many copies, and they were all sorted.

Artist management department.

"Teacher Fan, I'm sorry, Mr. Tan asked me to come over. We can continue to discuss our issues later."

The two often sit together and chat about acting and movie-related issues when they have nothing to do.

As long as Ma Guoliang comes to Fan Shan, he will come over immediately if he doesn't understand something.

Fan Shan also talked about everything he knew.

The two of them chatted for at least an hour.

Ma Guoliang, who used to love drinking, refused many invitations as promised, thinking about his acting problems all day long.

Ma Guoliang is not called a "drama idiot" for nothing.

Fan Shan smiled and said, "There is plenty of time, so go ahead and do your work."

"Yes." Ma Guoliang stood up hurriedly, picked up the things and put them back in his office.

Then he hurried to the president's office.

"Hello, Teacher Ma!" Chen Ye was sorting out materials when he suddenly looked up and saw Ma Guoliang.

"Mr. Tan asked me to come over."

"I'll knock on the door for you." Chen Ye probably guessed what was going on and thought that Teacher Ma should be the protagonist.

"thank you!"

dong dong dong.

"Enter."

Chen Ye pushed open the door: "Mr. Tan, Teacher Ma is here."

Tan Yue put down the documents in his hands and said, "Come in and give Teacher Ma a glass of water."

"Okay." Chen Ye knocked on the door because he was here to pour tea.

"Mr. Tan." Ma Guoliang greeted.

"Teacher Ma, sit down."

Ma Guoliang pulled out a chair and sat across from him.

"What are you working on recently?"

Ma Guoliang told him about the exchange of issues with Fan Shan.

Tan Yue praised: "The spirit of you and Teacher Fan is really worth learning from these young actors today."

Ma Guoliang is now an international star, and he still maintains an attitude of serious study and asking for advice, which is very rare and valuable.

This person is also destined to go very far.

This is also an important reason why Tan Yue always lets Ma Guoliang play the leading role.

Ma Guoliang said a little embarrassedly: "Just chatting with Teacher Fan, there is no filming now."

Tan Yue smiled slightly: "I came to you today just to let you film."

"Ah?" Ma Guoliang was stunned for a second.

He didn't think much about it on the way here, and now that he mentioned the new drama, his mind couldn't react for a while.

Tan Yue said: "I wrote a new movie some time ago. Here are the script, character biographies and plot summary. Take a look and see if you are interested."

"Yes! Of course!" Ma Guoliang agreed without hesitation before reading the script.

This is Tan Yue's new movie. Is there any reason to hesitate?
"I'm still going to let you play the leading role in this movie. You need to read the script first and find out more about it."

"Okay!" Ma Guoliang excitedly took over the script: "The Shawshank Redemption!" "The name of the new movie."

Ma Guoliang took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement. In this state, it was impossible to understand the script.

After a few seconds, I started reading the synopsis.

He wanted to know first what the new movie was about.

Tan Yue withdrew his gaze, looked at the computer screen, and started processing the files in the mailbox.

As time passed by, Ma Guoliang was completely immersed in the script and attracted by the plot of the movie.

I don't know how long has passed.

Ma Guoliang exclaimed: "This is a very good script!"

When reading the script, he wanted to understand the general content first, but he couldn't help but read the entire script.

Tan Yue stopped typing on the keyboard and looked at Ma Guoliang: "What do you think?"

"I thought "The Godfather" was the ceiling before, but I didn't expect this movie to be as good as "The Godfather."" Ma Guoliang looked extremely excited.

After the box office results of "The Godfather" came out, he once felt that he might never make a better movie in his life. After reading the script of "The Shawshank Redemption", I realized that I was short-sighted.

"Shawshank Redemption" once again refreshed Tan Yue's status in his heart.

In Ma Guoliang's heart, Tan Yue is a ceiling-level existence, and no one can compare with him.

But now I feel like I am invincible, and then there are enemies from outside.

Even though they are all the same person.

"Would you like to try out a scene now?" Tan Yue asked.

Although there is no doubt about Ma Guoliang's acting skills, he still wants to see if he has the feeling he wants?

"No problem." Ma Guoliang asked: "Which scene should we try?"

"You can choose any part yourself." Tan Yue didn't have any requirements on which part to try out.

"Okay." Ma Guoliang flipped through the script and pointed to a section: "Mr. Tan, I will try this scene."

"can."

"give me some time."

Tan Yue made an "OK" gesture and continued busy with his work while Ma Guoliang was familiar with the script.

Different from the first time when he was familiar with the script, Ma Guoliang read it more carefully this time, especially the character's psychological state and expressions, which required careful consideration.

There is also an analysis of the characters in the script, but it also plays a supporting role. Whether it can be done depends on the actor's own ability.

For Ma Guoliang, these problems can basically be solved at hand. It is just a matter of time.

Some time passed in the blink of an eye, and Ma Guoliang said: "Mr. Tan, I'm ready."

At this time, Tan Yue had finished the work at hand and said expectantly: "Let's get started."

Just in case he forgot his words, Ma Guoliang started to perform with the script in his hand. After all, he had only read it for a short time and he still hadn't memorized some of the lines.

Because he had been discussing acting issues with Fan Shan during this period, he soon got into the mood of acting.

From the moment Ma Guoliang started performing, Tan Yue, who was sitting in front of the computer, watched intently until the end of the performance.

After the performance, Ma Guoliang couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Tan, how did my performance go?"

He liked the script very much and naturally wanted to know whether it met Tan Yue's requirements.

"That's amazing, Teacher Ma. I didn't expect that your understanding of the characters would reach this level in such a short period of time."

Ma Guoliang's control of the role of 'Andy' was very good, and he perfectly interpreted the character's state in this scene.

Ma Guoliang touched his nose and said sheepishly: "Thank you, Mr. Tan, for giving me so much time to understand this character."

"Teacher Ma, you don't have to be modest. No matter who is auditioning, they need time to understand the character in advance. There are not many people who can do that in such a short period of time."

Tan Yue continued: "I leave this role to you."

Hearing this sentence, Ma Guoliang, who had experienced strong winds and waves, was so excited that he even jumped up. This script gave him an unusual feeling, and he liked the plot and characters of this movie from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Tan. I will definitely try my best to play this role well, and I will never let down such a good movie."

Ma Guoliang wanted to say something more about his performance, but he didn't know how to say it. I usually speak less, but now I am even more excited and don't know what words to use.

If you talk about acting issues, he may talk to you for an hour non-stop, but when it comes to expressing himself like this, he won't have any words to say more than once.

"I believe you will have no problem." Tan Yue spoke in a very firm tone.

"Then Mr. Tan, I will go back first." Ma Guoliang was now thinking about carefully considering the script of this new movie from beginning to end.

He felt that he had not really understood it completely. If he wanted to have a deeper understanding of the characters, he must know every detail that appeared in the script.

"Okay, let's go back. Take a good look at it when you get back, study the script, and remember to read more character biographies."

"Thank you Mr. Tan!"

Ma Guoliang controlled his excitement and pretended to be calm and left the office. The moment he closed the door, he finally couldn't hide it anymore. He walked to the elevator in three steps at a time, thinking of getting to his office quickly.

Tan Yue, who was sitting in front of the computer, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The problem that had troubled him for many days was finally solved!
The most important thing in a movie is naturally the protagonist. With Ma Guoliang, a powerful veteran actor, Tan Yue believes that he can perfectly display the characteristics of the character.

Through the half-open window, I could faintly hear the sound of car horns on the street.

Tan Yue stood by the window, aimlessly admiring the scenery he had seen countless times, and his brows that had been furrowed for many days finally relaxed completely.

Now that the protagonist's problem has been solved, it's much easier for the other characters.

The list of personnel compiled by Qin Tao can still be used. There are still several important roles in the movie that also require high-quality actors.

Tan Yue was thinking in his mind that the crew's preparations had already begun. When all the characters were determined, the filming time would not be far away.

"I should be able to have a good sleep today!" Tan Yue stretched and yawned. He had been so anxious these past few days that he basically didn't sleep well.

Suddenly, I was startled, and a figure slowly appeared in my mind.

This person is none other than Zhou Can.

Tan Yue hissed, and a bold idea came to his mind: If Zhou Can was allowed to try the lead role, would it work?
Zhou Can was remembered for his exaggerated performance style, and then his impression in the audience's mind was once again changed because of a drama.

Such an actor with a variety of performance methods naturally has no problem with his acting skills.

And Zhou Can’s age is also consistent.

The most important point is that if Zhou Can plays the leading role, isn't it exactly what I have been thinking about before?
Tan Yue closed his eyes and thought about the feasibility of this plan, imagining Zhou Can playing the male lead.

……

Brothers and sisters, who do you think is more suitable, Ma Guoliang or Zhou Can?
