Entertainment from Divorce

Chapter 977 Actor Candidates

In the afternoon, as soon as it was time for work, Chen Ye came in with the documents: "Mr. Tan, here are some documents that need your signature."

The first document was the publicity plan for the large-scale live broadcast of the new media department. Tan Yue had already checked the revised document in the mailbox, and there was no problem, so he signed it directly.

The second document is about the program department negotiating sponsorship with several brands.

Many programs have been broadcast for many years, but there are still many brands wanting to invest in sponsorship.

Don't underestimate the sponsorship of some variety shows. Although the cost is high, it can bring great benefits to your brand.

Especially popular variety shows.

This document has also been approved, and Tan Yue still carefully read it word by word, and signed his name after confirming that there was no problem.

"Xiao Ye, go to the TV drama department later and tell them to recalculate the budget on this document. There are a few areas where the flow of funds is not clear, and let them refine this area." Tan Yue was flipping through it. In the third document submitted by the TV drama department, there was a certain amount of funds that was rather vague.

"Okay, Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue didn't sign it and asked Chen Ye to leave with the document.

After finishing the work in hand, Tan Yue looked at the role list and continued to look for actors for the roles in the movie.

"Who should play the role of the old godfather?"

Tan Yuesi thought about it and finally opened the company's internal network to find suitable candidates among the company's actors.

The first target is naturally older people.

"This is not good, it has no temperament."

"This doesn't work either, I don't feel what I want."

"No."

"The image is too bad."

After screening one by one, Tan Yue's eyes fell on Jiao Cheng's head portrait.

When filming "The Truman Show", Jiao Cheng played the role of director in it, and the effect was not bad. This time, he can try the role of the old godfather first.

During this period of time, Tan Yue couldn't find an actor who was a perfect fit for Vito Corleone, so he could only settle for the next best thing and let the actors try out one by one.

Jiao Cheng's acting skills have always been good, maybe he can make up for some lack of image through acting skills.

After thinking like this, Tan Yue took out his mobile phone to find Jiao Cheng's number, tapped the screen and dialed.

'beep--'

"Hello, Mr. Tan."

Jiao Cheng's voice came from the phone.

"What has Teacher Jiao been up to lately?"

"Since "The Long Season" was finished, I have been playing around. I just returned to Beijing in the past two days, and I am idle at home now."

Tan Yue glanced at the time and asked, "Do you have time now?"

"Yes, I have!"

Tan Yue said straight to the point: "I recently made a new movie, there is a character in it, do you want to come and try it?"

"I'll go there now." Jiao Cheng, who was originally lying on the chair, sat up directly.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, as long as it is Tan Yue's, there is no reason for the actor to refuse.

"be careful on the road."

"I'll be there soon." Jiao Cheng casually threw his phone on the sofa, changed his clothes quickly, and prepared to go to the company.

If it wasn't for the tight schedule, Tan Yue would definitely ask Jiao Cheng to come back tomorrow.

There is no way to save a little time.

Besides, Vito Corleone is also a character with a leading role, and a suitable candidate must be determined early.

Tan Yue continued to think about candidates for other roles. The third role was Santino Sonny Corleone, the eldest son of Vito Corleone. He is very protective of his family and family reputation.

After comprehensive consideration of image, acting skills and other aspects.

Tan Yue took a fancy to Zhang Shengli among many artists.

After serving as the protagonist of "Wolf Warrior 2", the film and television works that Zhang Shengli participated in are basically action movies, and his acting skills have become more and more mature through repeated honing.

Tan Yue continued to pick up his mobile phone to make calls.

"Doo-doo-doo-doo."

"Mr. Tan, I'm sorry, my side is too noisy, I didn't hear it just now." The hustle and bustle on Zhang Shengli's side gradually became smaller.

"Didn't bother you?"

"No, no, I'm still blowing at the beach with my wife today."

"Are you in your hometown now?" Tan Yue remembered that Zhang Shengli's hometown was Qindao.

"I haven't been home for a long time. Taking advantage of the lack of work arrangements recently, I went back to my hometown." Zhang Shengli asked, "Mr. Tan, what do you want?"

He hasn't received a call from Tan Yue for a long time, this sudden call made him understand that there must be something looking for him.

Tan Yue said: "It's like this. I recently wrote a movie script, and I'm currently selecting actors for the roles in the play. There is a role that I want you to try."

"That's no problem, I'll buy a ticket to go back to the company now." Zhang Shengli sounded very excited.

It had been a long time since he had participated in Tan Yue's film and television works, and now he suddenly had an opportunity, so of course he had to make good use of it.

"Don't be so anxious, spend good time with your wife and children today, and it won't be too late to come back tomorrow."

Zhang Shengli wanted to persevere, but seeing his wife and children playing not far away, he said, "Okay, I'll buy tickets for tomorrow morning."

It's been a while since he spent time with his family.

"Don't bother you now, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Tan Yue put down his phone and rubbed his frowning brows. The other actors couldn't settle down like Ma Guoliang. We need to see how their auditions are going.
If it doesn't work, you must find another actor.

This movie is too important.

Not long after, Tan Yue heard someone knocking on the door and said, "Come in."

"Mr. Tan, Mr. Jiao is here."

Chen Ye came in and said to Tan Yue.

Tan Yue nodded, "Teacher Jiao, please come in."

Soon, Jiao Cheng walked in.

"President Tan." Jiao Cheng looked calm on his face, but he was very excited in his heart.

Unlike TV dramas, movies are to be released simultaneously around the world, and they are to be shown in front of audiences all over the world.

At the same time, he is also looking forward to Tan Yue's new movie.

"Teacher Jiao, sit down."

After Chen Ye poured water and left, Tan Yue took out a document and said, "Mr. Jiao, this is the movie "The Godfather" I told you about. This is Vito Corleone, the character you auditioned for. This is his biography." , take a look."

Jiao Cheng took over the biography.

"This character is one of the male protagonists in the play, and it is a good character."

"Protagonist?" Jiao Cheng was obviously a little surprised. On the way here, he always thought that he might play an insignificant role, just like "The Truman Show".

But that made him very happy.

Now I was surprised to hear that I was the leading actor in the movie.

"Yes, protagonist."

Jiao Cheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down while reading the biography.

There will be auditions later on, and reading biographies of characters requires concentration. If key information is missed, the understanding of the entire character will definitely be biased, which will affect the effect of the audition.

After finally getting such an opportunity, we must firmly grasp it.

After reading the biography of the character, Jiao Cheng felt that he still didn't understand enough, and asked, "Mr. Tan, can you give me a little more time to read it again?"

"Of course there is no problem." After answering Jiao Cheng's question, Tan Yue lowered his head and continued to work on his work.

Jiao Cheng has completely calmed down now, and he is concentrating on the biography of the characters, familiarizing himself with it and digesting it at the same time.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Jiao Cheng's understanding of the role gradually deepened.

"Mr. Tan, I've finished watching."

Tan Yue stopped his work and said, "Tell me about your understanding of this role."

Jiao Cheng said: "Although he is engaged in some illegal activities such as gambling, smuggling and murder, he has high moral standards for his friends and family, and then he is decisive in doing things."

In order for the actors to better understand Vito Corleone, Tan Yue added a lot of stories about the character when he was young, which is the content in "The Godfather 2".

It is also with such supplementary content that Jiao Cheng has a deeper understanding of the role.

"I'll add some other content for you." Tan Yue said, "This role."

The two chatted for more than 40 minutes.

Tan Yue felt that Jiao Cheng had a good grasp of the characters, so he said, "This is the script of the movie, we will be playing this scene later, you should prepare first."

This scene was specially selected by him, so that it can better show the character of the protagonist.

Jiao Cheng nodded, picked up the script and read it seriously.

The first time is definitely to get familiar with it.

Such a role is a big test for him. Although he has a good understanding of the role now, it is actually very difficult to really perform.

It was precisely because he knew it would be difficult that Tan Yue didn't urge him to concentrate on his work.

After reading the script a few times, Jiao Cheng first walked around by himself, and then started his performance under Tan Yue's gaze.

After the performance was over, Jiao Cheng asked a little nervously, "Mr. Tan, are you satisfied with this audition?"

Tan Yue said: "Maybe it's because the time is a bit rushed, but the audition effect is not good but not bad either."

Hearing these words, Jiao Cheng was a little worried and disappointed, because he was disappointed with his performance, and he was also worried that he would not get this opportunity.

I didn't grasp such a good opportunity.

Tan Yue thought for a moment, and said: "This role is very difficult, so don't be discouraged. After you go back, do more research. I believe you can grasp the essence of this role."

"You still want me to act?" Jiao Cheng felt that he heard it wrong.

Tan Yue nodded and said: "Yes, you can look up relevant information on the Internet when you go back. There are some records in this period of history, which can help you better understand the role."

"Thank you Mr. Tan, I will work hard." Jiao Cheng was very moved.

However, there is still a lot of pressure in his heart. Through today's conversation, he knows how important this role and this movie are. Since this opportunity is given to him, he must seize it and show it on the big screen in the best state .

"Let's go back."

Jiao Cheng picked up the script and the biography and left excitedly.

Tan Yue didn't rest, took out his mobile phone and dialed Xin Zhi's number.

The first call was not answered, and Xin Zhi called back a few minutes later.

Xin Zhi explained: "I was attending an event just now, but I didn't receive a call."

"It's okay. It seems that I called at the wrong time. Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Convenience, today's activities are over, in the car."

Tan Yue said: "I'm casting for a new movie, and I want you to act as the female lead in the movie."

"Yes!" Xin Zhi agreed without hesitation.

"This movie can be regarded as the play of the main male lead, and the lead actress doesn't have too many roles in it."

Xin Zhi didn't care and said, "It's all trivial matters, as long as you can have a role in your play, it's fine even if it's a sideshow."

Although it is a joke, she can definitely do it.

Tan Yue asked, "How long will the event be over?"

Xin Zhi looked at the manager's outstretched finger, and replied, "There are still three days before the end."

"Come and find me when you get back."

"okay."

Xin Zhi hung up the phone, she was so excited that she wanted to shout out.

The agent at the side couldn't hold back, and shouted excitedly: "Sister, that's great, you're going to play the leading role in Mr. Tan's movie."

"Calm down, calm down." Xin Zhi pretended to be calm: "I haven't auditioned yet, so I'm not sure if I can act."

"I believe in my sister's strength."

Xin Zhi clenched her fists unconsciously, determined to win this role.

She wished she could cancel the event now and go back to the company to get the script.

The manager lamented: "It's a pity that there are not many scenes."

"It's already pretty good. I don't know how many people are vying for a small role. I'm already very happy to have the opportunity to audition for a female lead." Xin Zhi smiled happily.

The selection of several important roles has been arranged for the time being, and Tan Yue can be regarded as temporarily relieved.

'Boom boom boom, boom boom boom. '

"Come in."

Zheng Tong pushed the door open and came in, holding a stack of thick paper in his hand.

"Mr. Tan, this is the script of "The Godfather", please take a look."

"Sit down." Tan Yue took over the scene script: "Let me read it first."

Zheng Tong let out a "hmm".

After receiving the task, he led several of the company's most experienced screenwriters to start the work of the screenplay script. Knowing that the time was tight, several people stayed up late and worked overtime to catch up with the progress, and it was completed in a short time.

But watching Tan Yue check the script, I was still a little nervous.

This is the first time for several people to work on a sub-shot script for a gangster film, so there are bound to be some problems in it.

The result was just as Zheng Tong expected. Not long after watching it, Tan Yue raised a question: "This place needs to be zoomed in from the distant view to the close-up view a little bit, and then the close-up of the actor's face should be modified."

As he spoke, Tan Yue picked up a pen and marked it.

Don't think about improving the shooting progress if the script of the shot is not good.

Tan Yue watched each word, and when he encountered a problem, he made a mark on the script.

More than an hour passed.

Tan Yue said: "Go back and revise the few problems I told you, and everything else is very good."

Zheng Tong got up and took the script: "Okay, I'll go back and hurry up to fix the problem."

Tan Yue hummed, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and rested for a while.
