Chapter 1234 Actor Selection

After Zheng Tong left, Tan Yue pulled out a piece of paper from a folder, on which was the list of characters for "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box".

The task of polishing the script has been arranged, and now it is time to think about the characters.

The performance of the actors also determines the quality of a movie.

There is naturally no need to think too much about the choice of the protagonist "Supreme Treasure".

Whether in terms of personal image or compatibility with the character, Zhou Can is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Can had already been decided as the protagonist when the writing of this movie began.

The nonsensical performance style is very difficult for actors.

Up to now, Tan Yue has not found a second actor as good as Zhou Can in the current entertainment industry.

That day he asked Zhou Can to think carefully about his future performance style, with the main purpose of hoping that Zhou Can could stick to this kind of performance.

There are three relatively important female characters in the movie "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box", namely Chun Shisan Niang (Spider Spirit), Bai Jingjing (White Bone Spirit) and Fairy Zixia.

Looking at the female characters, the first ones that come to Tan Yue's mind are naturally Liu Qian and Xin Zhi.

The two are already veterans of the company and have extensive acting experience, having played almost every type of role.

Both of them are also among the best actresses in terms of acting skills.

Tan Yue wanted them to perform because their acting skills were guaranteed and the filming would be very smooth.

Moreover, the images of both people are very suitable, no matter which role they play, they are more suitable.

Tan Yue picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and thought carefully.

He planned to let Xin Zhi try out the role of the spider spirit, and let Liu Xi try out the role of the Zixia fairy.

This is just a temporary idea at the moment. It will depend on their actual performance in the future. It will be okay for them to try more roles during the auditions.

The other role will have to be played by someone else.

Thinking of this, Tan Yue suddenly frowned.

He had a new idea.

Since the filming of the movie began, female roles have basically been played by Liu Qian or Xin Zhi, and they have rarely tried to use other actors.

Why not try using other actors this time?

  The company has been training actors through various means, such as drama, exchange meetings

Over the years, many potential actors have been trained.

Among them, several actors are already very famous in China and can be said to be representatives among new actors.

For them, it's just a lack of an opportunity, a chance to become famous overnight.

Tan Yue opened the company's artist list on the computer and looked through the actors.

Brilliant Entertainment Company is a hot spot in the entertainment industry and a "holy land" that many newcomers yearn for.

Under strict screening conditions, the cast is still very large.

Looking at the list above, there are many people that Tan Yue has never seen before.

It was mainly because he had too much work, and he was away from the company for several months while filming. If he was in the company, he would spend most of his time in the office processing documents.

Even though I often check in various departments, I can only see a few people.

There was no rush for the movie, and Tan Yue didn't rush to make a decision. He just looked through it.

He didn't know much about the actors, so naturally he couldn't make a decision easily.

Time passed, Chen Ye brought a document, and Tan Yue started working.

The next day.

Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue came to the company early in the morning and started busy with his work.

The first document was the promotional plan submitted by Mr. Wu.

Yesterday, Lin Qingye found Mr. Wu and discussed the promotion plan for the new drama with Qian Tao and the other two.

Mr. Wu has extensive experience in publicity and gave very good suggestions.

It can be seen from the promotional plan in Tan Yue's hand that it is basically Mr. Wu's ideas.

Seeing that there was no problem, Tan Yue signed the document.

It will take some time before the TV series goes online, and the first step of the promotional plan will only be launched one month later.

Tan Yue then picked up the second document and started reading it.

There are not too many documents every day now, and they can be processed in two or three hours, of course not including the documents that are sent in at short notice.

More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After reading the last document, Tan Yue picked up the phone and called Chen Ye in.

There were two knocks on the door, "Knock, knock, knock", and Chen Ye opened the door and came in.

"Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue picked up the two documents and said, "Send one to Engineer Wu and the other to Zhou Can."

The script is out, so of course it will be given to Zhou Can.

Ever since Zhou Can got the character biography, he still hasn’t got a clear idea of ​​the plot, not even a synopsis.

"Okay." Chen Ye took the document with both hands.

Tan Yue continued, "After delivering the documents, go to the artist management department and ask Qin Tao to come over. I have something to discuss with her."

When it comes to the situation of the company's artists, Qin Tao is the one who knows the most.

Tan Yue wanted to use newcomers to play female roles in "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box". When selecting actors, of course he had to find out more about the situation beforehand.

"Okay." Chen Ye turned and left the office, first handed the signed publicity plan to Mr. Wu, and then went to the artist management department.

She looked down at the script in her hand and smiled slightly, then raised her arm and knocked on the office door.

Now all the work before the shooting of the new movie is proceeding in an orderly manner. She is very happy to think that the shooting will start soon.

"Please come in."

Chen Ye pushed the door open and closed it when he walked in.

Except for some relevant staff, no one knew that Tan Yue was preparing a new movie.

Therefore, it is currently in the confidentiality stage and cannot be disclosed to the outside world.

"Secretary Chen."

Zhou Can looked at the document in Chen Ye's hand, his pupils suddenly widened, and he thought: "Could it be a script?"

"Mr. Zhou, this is the script that Mr. Tan asked me to give you."

"Script!" Zhou Can stood up and even wiped his hands slightly before taking the script.

No way.

He has been waiting for this movie script for several years.

Now holding the script in his hand, no one can understand Zhou Can's mood at this moment.

"Thank you." Zhou Can said.

Chen Ye smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'll leave first."

Watching Chen Ye leave, Zhou Can couldn't wait to open the script: "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box."

He finally knew the name of the movie he had been looking forward to for many days.

According to his habit, Zhou Can first looked at the plot outline.

After reading the biographies of the characters, he really wanted to know what kind of story the movie told.

After watching the beginning, Zhou Can couldn't help but say: "This is what a nonsensical movie should have."

The main theme of the story about Sun Wukong and Bull Demon King murdering Tang Sanzang is a spoof.

In the following time, he was completely immersed in the script, reading and thinking about how he should perform.

After leaving Zhou Can, Chen Ye went straight to Qin Tao's office.

"Is Mr. Qin here?"

"Here I am."

"OK! Thank you!" Chen Ye knocked on the door.

"Come in." Hearing Qin Tao's voice, Chen Ye pushed open the door: "Boss Qin."

"Xiaoye, what do you want from me?"

"Boss Tan asked me to come here and tell you to go to the office."

Qin Tao put down the work in her hands, stood up and said, "Let's go."

The two came out of the office and took the elevator to the president's office on the eighth floor.

Qin Tao asked, "Do you know what Mr. Tan wants to talk to me about?"

The two have a good relationship and often chat and eat together.

Especially during this period, because of Zhuang Bailin, the two of them ate more frequently.

"not sure."

Chen Ye naturally knew what was going on, but he absolutely could not say it.

What if it’s not about the new movie? Wouldn’t that mean I’ve revealed the secret?

Qin Tao didn't ask any more questions.

The two got off the elevator and came to Tan Yue's office.

After Chen Ye left, Tan Yue looked at Qin Tao who was sitting opposite him and said straight to the point: "I recently wrote a new movie with several important roles. I am considering whether to use actors I have never worked with before."

After hearing this, Qin Tao was surprised and happy.

What is surprising is that they have to use other actors. The shooting process will be very smooth if they have worked with actors before, but it is not conducive to the training of newcomers. After all, an entertainment company needs comprehensive development.

What makes them happy is that there is a new movie. In fact, they are just like the fans and are looking forward to Tan Yue’s new movie.

Tan Yue took out a folder and said, "These are the biographies of three female characters. Please select from the actors under your company and see if there are any suitable candidates."

"Can newcomers do that?"

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Of course, as long as they are suitable. When the time comes, give me a list and I will audition myself."

"no problem."

Don't be fooled by the fact that Qin Tao is the director of the artist management department and has no experience in filming.

But his vision in selecting actors is very good.

Qin Tao took a quick look at the character's personality and image, and first selected a few candidates in her mind.

As for whether it is suitable, she still needs to read the character's biography carefully.

"Are we going to replace all of them with new people this time?"

Tan Yue replied: "Let's see the situation first and try to recruit new people if possible."

"it is good."

Qin Tao was very happy for these actors.

This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, because by starring in Tan Yue's movie, the chances of becoming famous overnight are very high.

Famous actors under the company, such as Ma Guoliang and Zhou Can, have become popular today thanks to Tan Yue's movies.

Tan Yue briefly explained a few things to note, and Qin Tao got up and left and returned to her office.

She flipped through the biographies and discovered that these were three very important female characters.

“We need to screen them carefully.”

Before sending the list over, Qin Tao planned to take a look at their actual situation herself.

If the person chosen is not suitable, sending him for audition will just be a waste of time.

After carefully reading the character's biography, Qin Tao picked up a pen and wrote the name behind the character while thinking.

For such an important task, we cannot be careless at all and we have to be extremely cautious when writing down each name.

Not only can we find new actors, but we can also find actors who have not worked with Tan Yue before, which is relatively easy.

Tan Yue came to the door of the office.

"Mr. Tan." Chen Ye stood up quickly, thinking that there was some work arrangement.

"I'm going to the film department. If anyone wants to see me, call me."

Tan Yue wanted to go and see how Zheng Tong and his colleagues were working.

After all, this is a nonsensical movie, which is very different from other types of movies, especially in terms of writing storyboards.

Although they had experience in polishing this type of film before, they decided to take a look to be sure.

There happened to be no work to deal with during this period.

After giving the instructions, Tan Yue took the elevator to the film department.

Whether it is releasing the movie in China or releasing it simultaneously around the world, he devotes all his energy to it.

When a film or TV work is released, it must not only live up to the staff behind the scenes, but also live up to the audience.

at this time.

In a meeting room of the film department.

Zheng Tongdao: "I think this is the right way to handle this shot."

The most important thing at the moment is to finish the storyboard script of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box". Any work that is not particularly urgent can be postponed.

"What do you think?" Zheng Tongdao said, "If you have different ideas, just speak up. Our goal is to make Mr. Tan satisfied with our work."

Manager Liu, who was sitting next to him, said, "I think it's OK. It's pretty good."

Seeing that no one objected, Zheng Tongdao said: "Then it is decided."

Then everyone started discussing the next set of shots.

The first thing the few people did after getting the script was to read it carefully.

"Knock, knock, knock." Hearing the knock on the door, several people looked towards the door at the same time.

Zheng Tong has already instructed not to let anyone disturb them at this time.

Just when several people were confused, Tan Yue opened the door and came in.

"Mr. Tan."

"Mr. Tan."

Several people hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"Everyone, sit down. Keep busy." Tan Yue came over and asked, "How is your department doing?"

“So far, so good.”

The work on the storyboard has just begun and no problems have been encountered so far.

After all, several of them are old employees of the company.

Zheng Tongdao: "Mr. Tan, please take a seat."

Tan Yue sat down directly.

Zheng Tongdao: "This is a set of scripts we just completed. Please take a look."

"Not bad." Tan Yue looked at it carefully and said, "We can make the storyboard according to this effect."

"Okay." Zheng Tong nodded, and his confidence suddenly increased.

"Everyone stop for a moment."

Hearing this, several people put down their work.

Tan Yue continued: "This is a nonsensical comedy, and the shooting of many shots is very different from that of other movies."

Zheng Tong and several other supervisors listened carefully to what Tan Yue said.

Before I knew it, several hours had passed.

Seeing that there was no problem with the script polishing work, Tan Yue got up and left.

The people in the conference room were busy for more than ten minutes.

Zheng Tongdao: "Everyone, take a break first, and we'll continue later."

Manager Xiao stood up, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then said, "After listening to what Mr. Tan just said, I feel like I have learned something new."

"There is a saying that goes, you never stop learning, and you never stop living."

"That's right. A few days ago, I was talking to some of the young people in our group and found that they all had very open minds."
