Chapter 1229 "A Chinese Odyssey"!

Standing by the window, Tan Yue was thinking about a question: should he continue shooting a movie to be released worldwide?

Looking back carefully over the years, since entering the global film market, we have been "fighting" in the global film market.

If a movie is to be released globally, there are many factors to consider, such as cultural differences, audience range...

This way, you will feel a little more pressure.

Tan Yue’s purpose in making movies now is not only box office results, but also his own influence.

As a Chinese director, he certainly wants more Chinese people to have a deeper understanding of himself, rather than just focusing on box office results.

When others mention Tan Yue, he not only wants to mention his box office performance, but also the recognition of his own movies.

After thinking for a while, he decided to make a comedy movie to be released domestically.

Thinking of this, Tan Yue took a deep breath. This way he didn't have to think too much and just relax.

……

in the afternoon.

Tan Yue put down the documents in his hand and picked up the phone.

"Mr. Tan."

"Xiaoye, come here for a moment."

After a few seconds.

Following the knock on the door, Chen Ye came to the office.

"Mr. Tan."

"Take this document and sync it to the company's internal network later."

"Okay." Chen Ye took the document.

Tan Yue continued, "After the synchronization is completed, you go to the editing room and synchronize the progress of the film and television works you are editing with Hong Yuanda."

The editing room has been working and the editing progress has been moving forward.

"clear."

Watching Chen Ye leave, Tan Yue took out the notebook in which he had written down several movie titles in the morning and started reading it.

He took a sip of the tea.

Looking at the titles of movies one by one, he hasn't decided which one to shoot yet.

If a film wants to expand its influence in the hearts of Chinese people, it must have a certain depth.

But this is a comedy film, and if it wants to have depth, the films currently on paper are not suitable.

More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The water in the cup had been finished, and Tan Yue felt a little dizzy.

He felt that if he continued to sit like this, he would only waste time and would not have any new ideas. It would be better for him to visit various departments, exercise his body, and relax his tired brain.

Then Tan Yue walked out of the office, gave Chen Ye a brief explanation, and took the elevator to the first floor.

Except for meal times, Tan Yue seldom came to the first floor.

I used to go to the gym to exercise, but now I don’t have the mood or time to do so.

After taking a look around the logistics department, I went to the new media department on the second floor.

This time, Tan Yue did not go to watch the anchor's work, but chatted with everyone in the ordinary employee work area.

Because Tan Yue often chats with employees, no one feels too much pressure.

"Mr. Tan, when will you shoot a new movie?"

Everyone turned their heads instantly and looked at Tan Yue expectantly.

"It's still in the planning stage and we need to wait for a while." Tan Yue said with a smile.

"Nowadays, other directors' movies are boring. Your movies are more exciting."

"What type of movies do you like to watch?" Tan Yue wanted to see what everyone thought.

"As long as it's your movie, I like to watch any genre."

The employees are not trying to flatter others, this is indeed the case.

No matter what type of movie it is, it can be seen from the box office results that it is deeply loved by the audience.

Of course, some employees also said "love", "inspiration", "war"...

Tan Yue laughed and thought, "It seems I should just figure it out slowly by myself."

Tan Yue chatted with the employees, and soon left the new media department and went to the artist management department on the third floor.

The layout of the third floor is very different from the other floors.

There is only a small portion of the employee work area.

Except for more than a dozen ordinary employees, the rest are almost all agents.

The agent spends most of his time in the outside work area and only goes to the artist's office when there is work.

"Mr. Tan."

"Hello, Mr. Tan!"

Seeing Tan Yue coming, everyone greeted him.

"Hello."

Tan Yue responded as he walked.

"Mr. Tan!"

Zhou Can, who came back from the toilet, happened to meet Tan Yue.

"What have you been busy with lately?"

Although the artist management department will report the situation of their artists, there are too many artists and Tan Yue simply cannot remember so many.

"I've been taking a break recently."

When there is a movie to be filmed, Zhou Can goes to work. When there is no movie to be filmed, Zhou Can goes to perform in a drama.

Drama is the best training for actors.

Tan Yue nodded with a light "hmm".

In his opinion, Zhou Can is an actor with great potential, and the nonsensical movies he had starred in before left a very deep impression on the audience.

Later, he starred in some serious dramas and his performance was also very eye-catching.

Such actors are very malleable.

"I'll go shopping for a while, you go and get busy."

"okay."

Watching Zhou Can leave, Tan Yue suddenly thought of a movie in his mind. It had the comedy he wanted to shoot and also had the depth he wanted. It was a good choice and very much to his liking.

  "Westward Journey"!

Tan Yue nodded slightly, feeling very happy. After so many days, the new movie finally had some shape.

Since he had already made up his mind, there was no need to continue wandering around, so he went straight back to his office.

The air conditioner on the wall blew out cool air.

Sitting in front of the computer, Tan Yue was thinking about the movie.

"A Chinese Odyssey" is a series of films, consisting of two films, "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" and "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella", which tells a love story of mixed joys and sorrows that spans time and space.

Tan Yue decided to film one movie at a time, starting with "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One - Pandora's Box", and then carefully recalled the plot of the movie:

While escorting Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, Sun Wukong conspired with Bull Demon King to kill Tang Sanzang and stole the Moon Box. This action made Guanyin want to eliminate him. At Tang Sanzang's request, Sun Wukong was sentenced to reincarnate as a human after 500 years to atone for his sins.

Five hundred years later, Sun Wukong transformed into the bandit leader Zhizunbao.

When he met the monster sisters, the spider spirit Chun Sanshi Niang and the bone spirit Bai Jingjing, who planned to eat Tang Monk's flesh, Zhizunbao fell in love with her at first sight because Sun Wukong had a relationship with Bai Jingjing five hundred years ago.

However, because Patriarch Bodhi told them the identities of the two monsters, Zhizunbao still led the bandits to deal with the two monsters.

During the process, Bai Jingjing injured Chun Sanshi Niang in order to save Zhizunbao, and she was also poisoned and injured. In order to save Bai Jingjing, Zhizunbao went to find Chun Sanshi Niang, but was misunderstood by Bai Jingjing and committed suicide in despair. Zhizunbao began to use the Moonlight Box in order to turn back time.

With a general idea in mind, Tan Yue created a folder called "A Chinese Odyssey" on his computer, and then created another folder called "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box". He would shoot the second part later when he wanted to rest his brain.

After creating a new document, prepare to start writing the relevant plot.

... "Mr. Chen, Blue Sky Technology Co., Ltd. is planning to visit our company next Monday."

"Okay, you can arrange the details."

"it is good."

Chen Ziyu picked up a contract and said, "Send this document to the TV drama department and let Mr. Qian take a look."

The secretary took the documents and left the office.

Chen Ziyu sorted out the documents he had processed and put them aside. Then he stood up and left the office, walked to the door of Tan Yue's office, raised his arm and knocked gently on the door.

She was still a little worried about Tan Yue's condition, so she came over to check on him.

These days, she could clearly feel that Tan Yue was under a lot of pressure.

"Come in."

After hearing the sound, Chen Ziyu pushed open the office door and saw Tan Yue typing on the keyboard.

Tan Yue, who was writing a story outline, looked up and said softly, "Tzuyu, why are you here?"

"Look what you are busy with?" Chen Ziyu pulled out a chair and sat opposite.

Tan Yue temporarily put down the work in his hands and said, "I took a walk downstairs today, which gave me some inspiration and an idea for the new movie."

"Have you got any ideas?" Chen Ziyu was a little surprised.

Some time ago, Tan Yue was worried about his new movie and looked very tired.

Now after seeing Tan Yue again, he seemed to have returned to his previous mental state.

In her heart, she actually wanted Tan Yue to continue to rest for a while.

While the new movie is a very important matter, it is not particularly urgent.

Brilliant Entertainment Company needs to develop comprehensively, and every step of development requires laying a solid foundation.

Especially now that we are facing the competitive pressure from the global entertainment industry, it is even more necessary for Brilliant Entertainment to consolidate its foundation.

Tan Yue nodded and said, "I thought about it today and decided that this movie will only be released in China."

"Of course no problem." Chen Ziyu supported.

No matter what decision Tan Yue makes, she will support him unconditionally.

Even if Tan Yue decides to take a break for a few years, I will support him to the end.

Tan Yue explained: "I have been making films for global audiences over the years, so there are many factors to consider. With this film, I wanted to relax a bit."

"Very good." Chen Ziyu said: "Domestic audiences have always liked your movies very much. This can be regarded as satisfying the wishes of domestic audiences."

Tan Yue said: "I haven't filmed a comedy for many years. This time I plan to make a comedy."

"Comedy movies are good, I like them too."

If other directors said they wanted to make a comedy, Chen Ziyu might still be skeptical.

After all, most comedies are bad.

But if it was Tan Yue, she wouldn't have any worries at all.

"Now that I have a general idea, I still have to sort it out."

Tan Yue naturally wouldn't say that the plot is already there and the script will be out soon.

Otherwise, it’s unreasonable that you were still feeling depressed about the new movie yesterday, but already want to know the plot today.

“Are you writing a movie story now?”

“Just started writing.”

Chen Ziyu stood up and said, "In that case, I won't disturb your work anymore and will go back first."

Tan Yue had finally come up with a new idea, but she was worried that she would forget it while chatting.

Tan Yue said "hmm".

After Chen Ziyu left, the sound of typing on the keyboard could be heard again in the quiet office.

Tan Yue continued to write the story outline of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box".

……

Artist management department.

Zhou Can sat on a chair, reading a book about improving acting skills.

I don’t know if it was because of the influence of Ma Guoliang, but when he had no work arrangements, he would sit in the office and study how to improve his acting skills.

As he has been exposed to more and more types of dramas, Zhou Can is now very famous in the acting circle and is considered a mainstay among young and middle-aged actors.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Zhou Can put down the book and looked up at the door.

The agent came in with a bag in his hand.

"Achan, this is a movie script, take a look." As he spoke, the agent took out the script from his bag.

Zhou Can took the script and asked, "What type is this?"

"comedy."

Zhou Can nodded slightly, opened the script, and first looked at the outline of the whole plot.

He is still very interested in comedy.

After all, it is through comedy films that he is loved and recognized by the public.

Over the years, Zhou Can has been looking for scripts for nonsensical comedies.

This is his favorite type.

But I haven't found a script that suits my taste.

In his opinion, apart from Tan Yue, no other screenwriter can write a truly nonsensical comedy.

The agent at the side took out his mobile phone and prepared to let Zhou Can take a look first.

“This script is not very good.”

"So fast." The agent thought to himself that he couldn't even get warm before he felt like he couldn't take it anymore.

"Although it's said to be a nonsensical comedy, the whole story seems to have an awkward feel to it."

This is also the reason why Zhou Can thinks other screenwriters do not write well.

The nonsensical comedies written by Tan Yue are very enjoyable to read, while the scripts written by other screenwriters are awkward just to read.

The agent took the script from Zhou Can, put it in his bag, and asked tentatively: "Would you like to consider taking on a role recently?"

In fact, after Zhou Can switched to acting in serious dramas, he took on two more serious dramas.

But the response after it was broadcast was mediocre, like a stone sinking into the ocean, and it did not cause much waves.

Since then, Zhou Can has not taken any more acting jobs.

Zhou Can said seriously: "I will definitely take the role, but the most important thing is to see the quality of the script first. If the script is good, I will definitely take it without hesitation. But if the quality of the script is the same as this one, I would rather continue to rest. As an actor, I have to be worthy of myself and even more worthy of the audience."

Regardless of whether the drama will be popular, he thinks the quality of the script must be up to standard first.

The agent nodded and said, "I was a little careless and a little too impatient."

The two dramas made Zhou Can's fame drop a lot, and he was anxious. He wanted Zhou Can to take another drama as soon as possible to restore his fame.

He found the script of this nonsensical comedy specifically for Zhou Can.

"This matter has nothing to do with you." Zhou Can said, "Haven't you been looking for a script during this period?"

"Yes, but there is not much to gain." The agent sighed and said, "I want to find you a nonsensical comedy script. After all, the audience likes to see you in this type of movie."

"You can't force this kind of thing, just let it be."

Zhou Can didn't have much hope for other screenwriters.

"I'll look for it again." The agent left the office.

Zhou Can pursed his lips and continued to study his acting skills.
