Entertainment from Divorce

Chapter 947 Meeting
Shencheng is located in the northeast of China.

Fan Shan sat alone in the study, his brows were furrowed, his eyes looked out of the window from time to time in a daze.

During the Spring Festival Gala more than ten years ago, due to too much pressure, he accidentally said a wrong line. Since then, he has decided to stay away from the Spring Festival Gala stage forever.

No matter how many years old actors have been in the Spring Festival Gala, one can imagine the pressure they have to bear when facing the national live broadcast.Whether it's eyes or expressions, or even a few seconds of pause in the middle, they are fully presented in front of the audience.

There are quite a few sketch actors like Fan Shan who left the stage and cried after the performance.

Later, I also performed some sketches on some small stages, but as I grew older, my creative ability declined significantly, and I couldn't reach the previous height.In order not to consume my image in the audience's mind, I gradually faded out of the sketch industry.

By chance, one of his friends was a film director. When he visited the set, he played a small role in the play.

Fan Shan was very famous back then. Once the movie was broadcast, it became a hit instantly, and from then on he had the idea of ​​becoming an actor.

For a sketch actor, the audience's first impression upon seeing him is "le", which has also led to many directors looking for him to play a comedy role in the play.

In the era when comedies were prevalent, he did make a successful transformation and portrayed many successful roles on the big screen.

Then, comedy roles are not what Fan Shan is after.Looking at the roles he had played, he suddenly realized that they were no different from acting in sketches, so he decided to change the way of acting and act in 'serious dramas'.No longer rely on jokes to please the audience, but rely on acting skills to penetrate people's hearts.

There is a saying in the industry that sketches and cross talk actors don't need to be good-looking.

Fan Shan's appearance was relatively ordinary. At that time, the selection of actors for domestic film and television works was gradually developing in the direction of appearance. What's more, he was born as a sketch actor. Considering his impression in the hearts of the audience, the director naturally did not dare to take it lightly. try.

Fan Shan, who couldn't get the show, didn't give up. In desperation, he decided to start with a small role and change his image in the audience's mind little by little.
Fan Shan has always been clear about what he wants, and every step he takes shows his ambition. He walks the road of actor very patiently.

Although the roles are small, they still try their best to play them. Since then, they have created classic small roles one after another. They are all low-level people. Their lives are insignificant, but Fan Shan has performed the essence of life.

Hard work pays off.

After several years of accumulation, the transformation was finally successful and it became an old drama player.

Acting has long been a part of life, and it is his principle that he would rather not act than accept bad movies.

Fan Shan withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to the script.

Recently, it has become popular in the group to find old actors for filming. He has also received many scripts, but the quality of the scripts is very poor, and none of them can meet his requirements.

The only one who can see the past is the script in his hand, from Tianjing Entertainment Company, who plays the hero's father.

I've read the script once, and although it's not bad overall, it's absolutely impossible to become a blockbuster drama.

Moreover, the plot of this drama is relatively redundant, and the design of many plots is meaningless at all. It is obvious that it is just to make up for the time.

After thinking about it, Fan Shan put the script aside, the more he read it, the more dissatisfied he became with the script.

'Ring ring ring, ring ring ring. 'The cell phone in the living room rang suddenly.

Fan Shan doesn't like to take his mobile phone with him. When he is at home, he always puts his mobile phone on the coffee table in the living room.

Fan Shan took off his reading glasses, walked out of the study unhurriedly, picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Beijing.

"no impression."

He has seen many cases of elderly people being defrauded on the news, so he rarely answers strange calls and is ready to hang up.

But then he thought that his son was in the capital.

His son has been busy with work and has not contacted him for a while, so Fan Shan wondered if his son changed his phone number to call?If it's not your son's call, just hang up.

After making a decision, Fan Shan connected the phone and asked, "Hello! Who is it?"

"Hello! I'm Qian Tao. Are you Teacher Fan Shanfan?"

"I don't know you, hang up." In Fan Shan's memory, there was no such person at all, so he thought it was a scam call.

Qian Tao hurriedly said: "Teacher Fan, I am the director of the TV drama department of Bright Entertainment Company. You can check my relevant information on the Internet. Qian Tao, money of money, rough waves."

"Yo, the current fraudulent calls are really terrible. They all regard themselves as entertainment companies. You made the wrong number. I'm Tan Yue."

"Your phone number was given to me by Teacher Liang Gaobo." Qian Tao explained again, for fear of hanging up the phone, the Liang Gaobo he was talking about was an old friend of Fan Shan's circle for many years.

"Are you really from Brilliant Entertainment Company?" Hearing his old friend's name, Fan Shan's thought of hanging up the phone immediately disappeared gradually.

"I didn't lie to you, Teacher Fan, I am the department director of Bright Entertainment Company."

"What are you looking for from me?"

Fan Shan was very puzzled, he had no contact with Bright Entertainment Company, how could he suddenly found him, and the other party was a director.

"I'm in charge of the company's TV drama department. I have a script in my hand. The characters are very suitable for you. I hope you can come and try the play." Qian Tao continued: "If you don't have time now, we can wait you."

"TV drama?"

"Yes."

As an actor, he certainly knows the influence of Brilliant Entertainment in the industry, and has produced many blockbusters.Especially Tan Yue's drama, he likes it very much.

Brilliant Entertainment's dramas as a whole are relatively reliable. For example, the recent "Hurricane" is a phenomenon-level work that has attracted the attention of the entire industry.

Thinking that I was also worried about finding a script recently, my heart began to waver a little.

Qian Tao on the other end of the phone was afraid that Fan Shan would refuse, and said: "The quality of this script is absolutely guaranteed, I can guarantee it, you can rest assured in this regard. The role is also very suitable for you, and it is very suitable for you."

Since it was Mr. Tan's choice, of course there was no problem.

Fan Shan became more and more excited, and said, "I can try it."

"when do you have time?"

"I've been at home recently, and I can do it anytime, but I'm in Shencheng now, and it will take some time in the past."

Qian Tao immediately became excited. After all, it was the task assigned by Mr. Tan, and said: "We will set it in three days. Do you need us to send someone to pick you up?"

"No, no." Fan Shan refused, "I can go there by myself."

"No problem, tell me when you arrive in the capital, and we will send someone to pick you up at the airport."

"it is good."

This time Fan Shan did not refuse.

three days later.

A commercial vehicle stopped at the entrance of Bright Entertainment Company.

"Teacher Fan, this is our Brilliant Entertainment Company."

Fan Shan got out of the car and felt a little shocked when he saw the Bright Entertainment Company in front of him.

He heard that there are only three entertainment companies in the domestic entertainment industry that have the strength to own a single office building, and the building of Bright Entertainment Company is the most magnificent. This is also the first time he has come to such a large entertainment company.

"Teacher Fan, please come inside." This person was sent by the public relations department to pick him up at the airport.

Fan Shan said embarrassedly: "The bag is a bit heavy, let me carry it."

He also wanted to take this opportunity to visit his son's family and brought a lot of special products.

"It's okay, Teacher Fan, I can come, please come inside!"

Guided by the staff, Fan Shan came to the reception room of Bright Entertainment Company.

"Teacher Fan, please drink some water, please wait a moment, President Qian will be here soon."

Fan Shan nodded with a "hmm".

All the way here, both by plane and by car, at this age, I can't accept my old age, and I feel a little tired physically and mentally.

There was a short wait.

The door of the conference room opened.

"Mr. Qian." The staff introduced: "This is Teacher Fan Shanfan."

Fan Shan also stood up.

"Hello, Teacher Fan! I am Qian Tao who called you a few days ago."

"Hi Director Qian!"

The two shook hands.

"Teacher Fan, sit down." Qian Tao arranged, "Pour some water for Teacher Fan."

"Thank you."

"Thank you for your hard work along the way."

"As an actor, I'm used to this kind of life of flying around. I haven't noticed it before. This time, I suddenly found that I am really old and my body is not as strong as before."

"At your age, your health is already very good. Many people I know are not as good as you."

The two sat and chatted.

Fan Shan said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know it was you that day, so I took you as a scam call."

Qian Tao responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Now that the information leak is so serious, I can receive various sales calls every day. It is a good thing to be aware of prevention."

"There are too many examples of being deceived now, especially the elderly, who can't distinguish these types of calls at all, which almost delays major events."

"I'm also to blame for this matter. I'm too anxious. I should ask Mr. Liang to call you first."

"After hanging up your phone, Lao Liang called. He also advised me to seize this opportunity, saying that your company's drama is very good."

"It should be our honor to invite you."

The two drank tea and chatted for half an hour.

Fan Shan asked: "Director Qian, when are we going to audition?"

"I had so much fun chatting with Teacher Fan that I almost forgot the business." Qian Tao got up and said, "Teacher Fan, come with me."

He was exhausted all the way, and he wanted to let Fan Shan have more rest time.

"This bag."

Although there was nothing valuable in the bag, it was all for his son.

Qian Tao said: "Let's put the bag here first, the staff will take it for you at the party."

"thank you!"

Fan Shan followed Qian Tao out of the reception room, thinking he was going to try out a play, so he didn't think much about it.

Although he said he was going to audition, Fan Shan was thinking about the script.

He just asked when the audition was, the implication was that he wanted to read the script first, and was worried that the audition would be too hasty and he would not be able to accurately control the characters.

The quality of the scripts of Brilliant Entertainment Company is famous in the industry, even if it is not Tan Yue's dramas, they are widely acclaimed.

Therefore, Fan Shan valued this opportunity very much, otherwise he would not have traveled all the way from Shencheng to Beijing by plane at his age.

"Teacher Fan, please!"

As the elevator door knocked, the two stepped onto the elevator, and Qian Tao pressed the button for the eighth floor.

Fan Shan was about to ask about the script, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.Each crew has different standards for selecting actors. I thought that for a while, it might be to directly stipulate the performance situation and test my on-the-spot reaction.

'Ding dong. '

The elevator came to the eighth floor.

"Teacher Fan, this way please!"

Qian Tao stopped at the door of an office and knocked lightly.

"Come in."

Qian Tao pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Fan Shan thought it was an audition scene, but after entering, he realized that the scene in front of him was different from what he had imagined, and he was taken aback for a moment.

This is an office, very large.

Fan Shan, who is an old actor, is familiar with many big directors and big bosses in the circle, and has seen many offices, but this is the first time he has seen such a big one. The simple decoration style inside reveals exquisiteness.

A person is sitting in front of a computer at a desk.

"This person looks a little familiar." Fan Shan looked at the person sitting in front of the computer, his brain spinning rapidly. He had never seen him before, but he had a very familiar feeling.

Just as he was recalling carefully, he heard Qian Tao who was next to him say, "Mr. Tan, Teacher Fan is here."

The expression on Fan Shan's face changed from doubt to surprise in an instant, and he never expected to see Tan Yue himself directly.

"Teacher Fan, you have worked hard on this journey." Tan Yue stood up and greeted him.

Qian Tao introduced: "Teacher Fan, this is Mr. Tan from our company."

"Mr. Tan, hello!" Fan Shan stretched out his hand hastily, and said, "I've been hearing your name for a long time, and I'm finally lucky enough to see you in person today."

Tan Yue said modestly: "You are too much for the award. Compared with seniors like you, I am still far behind."

"There are no seniors, but they have been exposed to this industry earlier. Compared with you, they are insignificant."

"Teacher Fan, sit down."

The three of them sat on the sofa, while Qian Tao watched the tea being poured.

Tan Yue said: "Did Mr. Qian tell you everything about the TV series?"

"Tell me that there is a role that is quite suitable for me. I am so old, I didn't expect to be favored by your company." Fan Shan seemed a little cautious.

"Our company's selection of actors has nothing to do with age, as long as they are suitable, that is the most important thing."

Fan Shan nodded with a smile, he had heard about the criteria for selecting actors by Brilliant Entertainment.

Qian Tao on the side said: "Teacher Fan, I would like to tell you about the specific situation of this drama. This drama is written and directed by Mr. Tan, and I invite you here because I want you to play the leading role in the drama. "

The surprises made Fan Shan unable to react for a moment.

Is this drama written and directed by Mr. Tan?
Is he still the number one male in the play?
Fan Shan felt that he was dreaming, and it was still a sweet dream.

Although he has the label of an old drama character, he rarely receives the script of the male lead. After all, at this age, who would like to watch a TV series starring an old man?
