Entertainment from Divorce

Chapter 1304

The first thing to consider is naturally the protagonist in "Hachiko: A Dog's Story".

Newcomers can be used for other roles, but the leading role must be played by veteran actors.

This is the minimum guarantee for a good movie.

Jiao Cheng is currently participating in the filming of a TV series and has no schedule, so naturally he doesn't need to consider it.

  Is Tan Yue considering using Ma Guoliang or Fan Shan?

As for Ma Guoliang, he often participates in the recording of his own movies.

If it is used all the time, it will cause aesthetic fatigue for the audience.

On the contrary, Fan Shan has not appeared in his own movies for several years.

So, Tan Yue came up with an idea, and then picked up the phone and asked Chen Ye to call Fan Shan over.

Fan Shan is also a solid veteran actor. There is no need to worry about his acting skills. He can fully support the role of the protagonist of a movie.

Tan Yue sat in front of the computer, flipping through the biographies to see if there was anything else that needed to be added to the introduction of the protagonist.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Tan Yue put down the biography and said, "Come in."

The office door was pushed open, and Chen Ye said, "Mr. Tan, Teacher Fan is here."

"come in."

"Mr. Tan." Fan Shan walked in.

"Sit down, Teacher Fan." Tan Yue said, "I wrote a new script, and I want you to play the leading role. Here is the character's biography. Take a look."

Fan Shan took the script and said solemnly, "Okay."

“This character is a university professor.”

After reading Tan Yue's introduction and the character's biography, Fan Shan gained a general understanding of the character.

Tan Yue said, "Here is the plot outline and the script. Get ready. We will try out a scene later."

No matter which actor it is, he or she must audition before being confirmed.

This is being responsible for your own film.

Even veteran actors have roles that are not suitable for them.

Fan Shan looked at it carefully.

No matter who writes the script, he will treat it with the utmost seriousness.

More than twenty minutes later.

"Mr. Tan, I'm ready."

"Pick a passage and start."

"Okay." Fan Shan put the script aside, stood up, adjusted his breathing, and began his performance.

After working as an actor for so many years, memorizing lines is a piece of cake for him.

Therefore, there is no need to read the script for the audition.

Tan Yue watched Fan Shan's performance seriously, and kept praising Fan Shan in his heart.

In such a short period of time, Fan Shan's control over the details was very good, and it even felt like he had read the script in advance.

A few minutes later, Fan Shan's performance was over.

Tan Yue clapped his hands and said, "Teacher Fan, this role is yours."

"Thank you Mr. Tan."

"Your performance just now really shocked me. Now I feel that there is no one more suitable for this role than you." Tan Yue did not exaggerate.

From a director's perspective, there is nothing wrong with Fan Shan.

"Mr. Tan, you are flattering me too much. There are many actors who are better than me."

Tan Yue smiled and said, "The crew is still in the process of preparations, and the start time has not yet been determined. I'll let you know later."

"it is good."

The two chatted briefly, and Fan Shan walked out of the office with the script.

He was naturally very happy.

After all, it has been a long time since I last starred in Tan Yue's movie.

And more importantly, he is the protagonist of this movie.

Fan Shan quickened his pace and returned to his office, preparing to study the script carefully and strive to understand the character more deeply.

After Fan Shan left, Tan Yue opened the company's internal website to look for candidates for other roles.

After searching for a few minutes, he left and prepared to look for Qin Tao.

The company has organized many drama performances, and there are definitely some actors who performed better.

Then they are the best candidates.

The biggest purpose of organizing a drama performance is to hone the actors' acting skills, and those who perform well naturally need rewards.

Tan Yue took the elevator directly to the artist management department.

Responding to the employees' greetings along the way, he arrived at Qin Tao's office.

But Qin Tao was not there.

After a while, Tan Yue heard footsteps coming from outside and knew that Qin Tao had returned.

"Mr. Tan, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"I just arrived too. Have you finished your work over there?"

"I'm done." Qin Tao asked, "Mr. Tan, what are your plans?"

"You know about the new movie. We are now preparing to select the actors."

Seeing Qin Tao nod, Tan Yue continued, "Are there any outstanding performances in recent drama performances?"

"Yes." Qin Tao also understood what Tan Yue meant and took out a piece of paper from the drawer. "This is a list I wrote down. There are five people on it. These five people not only performed brilliantly on stage, but also paid special attention during rehearsals."

Because the drama performance had just started, Qin Tao participated in almost all the processes.

Of course, I have memorized the actors’ performances by heart.

Especially after working in management positions for so many years, she knows best who is just pretending and who is really working hard.

Tan Yue saw a familiar name on the list - Shasha.

And it ranks first.

Qin Tao said: "Shasha is a really hard-working child. I saw her practicing alone in the rehearsal room several times."

"How's her acting now?"

"She has made great progress. She is not only willing to work hard, but also loves to study hard. I heard from Ma Guoliang and Xin Zhi that Shasha often asks them questions about acting."

Tan Yue nodded with satisfaction.

He just provided Sasha with a platform. If she wanted to achieve greater success, she still had to rely on herself.

Tan Yue thought that he could let Sasha audition for the role of the protagonist's daughter.

There are several names on the list who have joined Brilliant Entertainment for many years but have always been in a tepid state.

Especially there is a slightly older actress in the film who has been working very hard.

Tan Yue thought that he could let this person audition for the role of the male lead's wife.

Qin Tao felt that they just needed an opportunity.

Tan Yue said: "Notify the five of them to go to my office for an audition."

"Okay." Qin Tao said, "At the moment, Shasha should be the only one in the company. The other four people went to the theater to prepare for tonight's performance."

In order to attract more audiences, the content of the performances three days a week is completely different.

"Then let Shasha come over first, and the other four can come find me when they have time."

"no problem."

Now Sasha spends most of her time at Brilliant Entertainment Company.

The company has many veteran actors and you can ask them directly if you have any questions, which will help improve your acting skills.

Tan Yue left with the list, and Qin Tao quickly asked her secretary to notify Sasha.

Shasha is a newcomer with great potential.

As the director of the artist management department, Qin Tao hopes that Sasha will one day grow to be like Ma Guoliang and become the backbone of the company.

At this time, Sasha was in the rehearsal room, reading the drama script and reciting the lines.

Since participating in the drama, she found that she still has a lot to learn.

For example: lines.

The same line, when spoken by different actors, gives people completely different feelings.

Especially in theater performances, the actors' voices are their own. If the lines are not well-spoken, the audience can hear them directly.

During this period, Sasha spent a lot of time every day reciting her lines.

She also consulted several teachers.

"Shasha."

Hearing someone calling her name from behind, Shasha put down the script and turned around to see that it was Qin Tao's secretary. "What can I do for you?"

"Boss Qin wants you to go to Boss Tan's office for an audition now."

Shasha was stunned, thinking she had misheard: "Go to Mr. Tan's office for an audition?"

"That's right, go over there quickly."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Sasha put down the drama script, straightened her clothes, and jogged all the way.

She thought that "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" was going to start filming the second part.

Sasha came to the president's office and suddenly became nervous.

After all, I will see Tan Yue soon.

Although we had worked together before, I was just an unknown newcomer and didn't have much confidence.

When she passed the audition and played the role of "Fairy Zixia", she always thought it was just good luck.

Especially recently I found that I have a lot to learn.

Walking to the office door, Sasha took a deep breath before knocking.

"Come in."

Shasha opened the door and said in a low voice: "Mr. Tan."

"Shasha, come and sit down first."

"Hey." Sasha sat on the chair stiffly, not daring to look up at Tan Yue.

"Did President Qin tell you anything?"

"She said she wanted to have an audition." Sasha raised her head, then immediately looked away after she finished speaking.

Tan Yue joked, "How are you going to audition tonight if you're so nervous?"

Sasha took a deep breath and forced a smile.

She didn't want to be nervous, but she just couldn't control it.

"I'm going to make a new movie. This is a short biography."

Sasha quickly reached out to take it.

"Just watch first, I'll introduce it to you."

Compared to introducing the character biography to Fan Shan, this time Tan Yue gave a more detailed introduction. The more he told the veteran actors, the more it would affect their performance.

Newcomers are different.

They need more information to understand the character.

After introducing the characters, Tan Yue was not in a hurry to give the script to Shasha.

He thought about giving Sasha more time.

Afterwards, Sasha raised a few questions, and after answering them, Tan Yue gave her the script.

In the following time, Sasha first read the script and then started auditioning.

After the performance, just like the first time, I was very nervously waiting for the result.

Tan Yue said: "You have made great progress during this period. It seems that the drama performance is very helpful to you."

Shasha nodded and said, "During the performance, Teacher Xin Zhi gave me a lot of suggestions."

"Shasha, do you know how an actor can play a role well?"

“Totally understand the character.”

"Any more?"

Shasha pondered and said, "Immerse yourself in the role."

Tan Yue nodded and said: "The most important thing is that actors must have confidence in themselves. First of all, they must believe that they act like the real person, so that the audience will be able to watch it."

Sasha lacks confidence and needs encouragement.

Sasha nodded thoughtfully.

Tan Yue said: "I hope you will have more confidence in yourself in the future. This role is yours."

"Thank you, Mr. Tan. I will definitely work harder."

"Okay, go ahead and read the script more during this time."

Sasha said "hmm" and left with the script.

After walking out of the office, she jumped for joy.

What he was holding in his hand was not the second part of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box", but a brand new movie.

In the next few days, actors continued to come for auditions, and the cast for several important roles in the film were gradually confirmed.

Tan Yue was looking at the cast list when Chen Ye knocked on the door.

"Mr. Tan, someone from Beijing People's Publishing House came over and said they wanted to see you."

"whats the matter?"

"He said he wanted to talk about your book 'Things About the Ming Dynasty'."

"Let him go to the drawing room. I'll be there soon."

moment.

A person was taken to the reception room by the front desk staff.

"Hello, Mr. Tan. I am the editor-in-chief of Beijing People's Publishing House. My name is Xu Fenghua."

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Xu, please take a seat first." Tan Yue said, "Xiao Ye, pour some water."

"Thank you, Mr. Tan."

"Editor-in-Chief Xu, why did you come here suddenly?"

Xu Fenghua quickly said, "I watched the video you posted on Douyin and the content is very interesting. We think it is very suitable to be made into a book and then published. I came here just to talk to you about this matter."

Tan Yue nodded slightly. Knowing that people from the publishing house were coming, he had already guessed what it was about.

I have to say that their sense of smell is really sensitive.

It was the first publishing house that came to us.

On Earth, "Things About the Ming Dynasty" was indeed published.

However, Tan Yue does not have this idea at the moment.

"Editor Xu, it's like this. I have only released one episode of this video. The rest of the content has not been released because I haven't written it yet."

"That's no problem. We can publish it after it's finished."

"You misunderstood me." Tan Yue said, "I have only written a small part now, and I am not sure when I can write the rest. The company has a lot of things that need my attention, and I may have to go out to shoot a movie someday. This means I will have even less time to write the rest."

In fact, on the day of rest, Tan Yue also wrote a part to satisfy Chen Ziyu's craving.

I've been busy selecting actors these days and have no time at all.

Once the film starts shooting, there will be even less time.

Tan Yue continued, "Let's talk about this matter after this story is finished."

Xu Fenghua still wanted to try harder.

After all, it is a story written by Tan Yue. It will sell well without any promotion at all.

"Mr. Tan, we can wait slowly."

"Let's just leave it at that for now. If you really want to publish it, you can wait until I finish recording this series of videos and then come find me."

"Mr. Tan."

"Xiaoye, please see the guests off."

Xu Fenghua had no choice but to say, "Then I'll come to see you after you've sent them all."

"Editor-in-Chief Xu, this way please."

After people go out.

Tan Yue finished the tea in the cup and went out.

You should refuse this kind of thing directly, otherwise they will keep pestering you.

He had just started writing "Things About the Ming Dynasty" and felt it was a little too early to discuss its publication now.
