Chapter 979 The old godfather changed hands and signed Fan Shan
After Zheng Tong left, Tan Yue made himself a cup of tea, stood by the window and thought about the situation of the main actors.

Considering the importance of this film, he had to be cautious in choosing actors.

Tan Yue took a sip of tea lightly, and murmured in a low voice: "Ma Guoliang is fine."

Ma Guoliang's acting skills have successfully broken into the circle of old drama players, and he has completely achieved what he looks like.Even if there is no audition this time, Tan Yue is very relieved.

Along the way, the two have cooperated more than ten times, so naturally there is nothing to say about the tacit understanding.

Besides, with Ma Guoliang around, Tan Yue could be helped in many places during filming.

For example, speaking to actors.

Sometimes actors are in awe of the director, especially young actors, and dare not speak too much.

And if Ma Guoliang is there, many actors will come to him for advice.

"Old godfather, old godfather." Tan Yue returned to the computer with the cup in his hand.

These days, he has been thinking about whether Jiao Cheng can support the role of the old godfather.

Jiao Cheng's role is more important than Ma Guoliang's. After all, everything that happens in this movie still revolves around the old godfather.

Jiao Cheng's acting skills are nothing to say, he is very capable, but it feels like something is missing, which makes Tan Yue a little uneasy, and made a difficult moment.

Although the role of Vito Corleone has been given to Jiao Cheng now, if a more suitable actor can be found, Tan Yue will explain the situation in person, and Jiao Cheng will definitely understand.

Tan Yue was lying on the chair, frowning and staring at the ceiling, thinking in his mind whether there was a more suitable actor.

"Why don't you let Teacher Fan come over and try?"

After going through some ideological struggle, Tan Yue sat upright and picked up the phone.

His main consideration is that Fan Shan was born as a sketch actor, no matter what, the audience can always catch some shadows of comedians in him.

But "The Godfather" is not only to be released domestically, but also to be released globally simultaneously.

The inherent impression in the audience's mind can be relaxed, and they don't have to take it so seriously, besides, Fan Shan is a truly capable faction.

The phone beeped for a few seconds, and then Fan Shan's voice came.

"Boss Tan."

"Sorry, Teacher Fan, I called you at this time, so I didn't disturb you."

Fan Shan smiled and replied: "No, no, what can I do as an old man."

Tan Yue joked, "I heard that you have recently received a lot of scripts and invitations from other directors."

"It's true that there is such a situation. The impact of "The Long Season" is too great. Many directors want me to play the old man." Fan Shan's words also expressed his bitterness.

It is undeniable that "The Long Season" did allow him to receive the script again, but the quality of the script is too poor, and the image is almost the same as that of "Wang Xiang". play.

After acting in "The Long Season", he also wanted to understand that even if there were no plays to act in, he would not just take on some bad plays.

Tan Yue asked, "Are you in your hometown now?"

"No, it's at my son's house. I don't have anything to do when I'm alone in my hometown. Come here to pick up my grandson and help my son and his family cook."

"If I remember correctly, your son's home is in the capital."

"That's right, it's more than an hour away from the company. I'm still thinking about waiting for you to be free someday, so I can go over and have a chat."

"That's great, I just have something to do with you. I wrote a new movie here, and there is a character in it that I want you to try. When do you have time?"

"I have time now." Fan Shan said quickly, "I'm leaving now, wait for me for more than an hour."

"Teacher Fan, this role is relatively difficult, and it may make you go for nothing."

Fan Shan said indifferently: "The audition result is not suitable, it is common for us actors, so what's the harm in making this trip?"

At this moment, what he was thinking in his heart was: This is Tan Yue's movie!

"Well, I'll send a car to pick you up now."

"No, it's a waste of time, I'll just take the subway there."

"This"

Fan Shan interrupted: "That's it, Mr. Tan, I'll pack up and leave quickly."

"Be careful on the road."

Fan Shan put down the phone, changed into decent clothes, put on a peaked cap, and hurried out after telling his son.

No one can resist the charm of Tan Yue's films.

Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to go to the front desk to explain, and waited for Fan Shan's arrival.

Time passed minute by minute, more than an hour later.

Fan Shan came to the downstairs of Bright Entertainment Company, and as soon as he walked in, he saw the front desk approaching him.

"Teacher Fan."

"Hello! I'm here to find Mr. Tan."

The front desk said: "It was Mr. Tan who arranged to pick you up, please come here."

"Thank you!"

Fan Shan followed the receptionist to take the elevator to the president's office on the eighth floor.

"Secretary Chen, Teacher Fan is here."

"Leave it to me." Chen Ye said, "Hello, Teacher Fan."

"Hello, long time no see."

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Boss Tan is waiting for you in the office, come with me."

"it is good."

Chen Ye knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in."

"Mr. Tan, Teacher Fan is here."

"Come in quickly." Tan Yue got up and went to greet him.

After Fan Shan came in, he greeted him, "Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue also came over and held Fan Shan's hand: "Teacher Fan, I haven't seen you for a while, sit here."

The two sat on the sofa, while Chen Ye made tea.

Tan Yue said: "I'm so sorry today, I asked you to come here so suddenly."

"I should be the one who was happy to receive your call from Mr. Tan. I still remember me as an old man."

"You are too modest."

Fan Shan waved his hand and said, "I don't have any regrets to be able to act in "The Long Season". Even if I don't act in the future, I will be content."

"The Long Season" dropped a nuclear bomb in the TV drama circle, and the impact was far-reaching.

"It's serious, Mr. Fan, your acting skills can continue to perform, and there will be absolutely no problem in 20 years."

Chen Ye poured tea for the two of them and went out.

Tan Yue also started to talk about the business: "During this time, I wrote a gangster movie, which is going to be released globally simultaneously. The difficult character I told you is one of the protagonists in this movie. I want you to try it. Give it a try."

"This character is the gangster boss?"

"Yes, the name of this movie is "The Godfather." Tan Yue told Fan Shan the basic situation of the movie.

"I've seen some movies of this type before, but I don't remember how many years have passed."

Tan Yue's words brought back Fan Shan's memories many years ago. He was no stranger to the title of "Godfather", but he was surprised that Tan Yue actually wrote such a script.

"Wait for me a moment." Tan Yue got up and picked up a document on the desk, and said, "This is the biography of the character, as well as the movie script, please take a look."

Fan Shan took it excitedly: "Give me some time to get to know this character."

"No problem." Tan Yue made a please gesture.

Fan Shan put the script aside first, picked up the biography of the characters and read it carefully.

Through Tan Yue's explanation of the movie's plot, he has already developed a great interest in this character and feels that the character is very three-dimensional.

Now mentioning the four words 'gang boss', many people think of ruthlessness, but Vito Corleone is a very emotional person, especially when he treats his family, he is even more caring.

Fan Shan has been engaged in the film and television industry for decades, and he has never acted in the role of a gang boss like the 'Old Godfather'.

Because he is famous for his sketches, it is difficult for audiences and directors to associate him with such a character.

As Fan Shan learned more about Vito Corleone, his interest also grew.

He personally likes such a character very much.

There is a strong plasticity.

After reading the first biography of the character, Fan Shan couldn't help stretching out his thumb and said with emotion: "This character is so well written."

In his heart, he has played so many roles, the old godfather is the best one.

"Are you interested in taking this role?"

Fan Shan immediately responded: "Yes, of course there is. Such a role in the actor circle is probably going to be smashed. I don't mean to exaggerate. Even if this movie is not your work, any director will shoot it. There’s a long queue at the door.”

Tan Yue smiled. The actor who played this role on Earth won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his role in "The Godfather".

"Here is a scene, you prepare first, we will start trial play later."

"Success." Fan Shan didn't rush to watch the plot of the audition, but re-read the biographies of the characters,

He feels that he is not ready yet, and he has not mastered the essence of the role.

A good role, a good script, such a great opportunity, of course, must be fully prepared.

In the next period of time, Fan Shan read the biographies several times before he saw the content that needed to be auditioned, but he still combined the biographies from time to time.

"It's almost there." Fan Shan opened his eyes, went through the plot in his mind, and said, "Mr. Tan, I'm ready."

Tan Yue had already returned to the computer to deal with work. Hearing Fan Shan's figure, he got up and sat back on the sofa: "Looking forward to your performance."

Fan Shan took a few deep breaths to let himself feel what he wanted.

Tan Yue watched the performance with full anticipation. This role has too high requirements for an actor. If Fan Shan is not suitable, it will be difficult to find an actor.

Old actors are old actors.

As soon as the audition started, Fan Shan was already in the mood.

Watching the performance, Tan Yue's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had found the right person this time.

When Jiao Cheng was trying out this scene, he found it in Fan Shan.

After Fan Shan's performance, Tan Yue couldn't help applauding: "That's great, Mr. Fan, your play is great."

"There are still many bad things." Fan Shan felt that his control over the characters was not perfect enough.

Tan Yue shook his head and said, "It's already very good. You should also know how difficult this role is. It's amazing that you can perform like this in such a short time. It's definitely okay to give you more time."

Fan Shan was a little panicked, but the next sentence made him excited instantly.

"Teacher Fan, you will play the role of Vito Corleone."

Fan Shan and Jiao Cheng had exactly the same audition content, and Fan Shan was more suitable in comparison.

"Thank you, Mr. Tan, for giving me such a chance."

"You're welcome, you took this role yourself." Tan Yue picked up the freshly brewed tea and said, "Drink tea."

"Then let's replace wine with tea today, thank you."

The two chatted for a while.

Tan Yue suddenly asked, "You didn't sign with an entertainment company, did you?"

"No." Fan Shan said: "The last time I signed with an entertainment company was many years ago, but recently several entertainment companies have contacted me and told me about this, but I have not agreed. Now I am older , once the heat is over, it has no value at all.”

Tan Yue put down the tea set and said, "You can't think like this. An old actor like you is a priceless treasure in any entertainment company. Teacher Fan, are you interested in joining our company?"

"Mr. Tan, don't make fun of me."

"I mean it."

"This" Fan Shan is a little embarrassed: "At my age, I have already retired in other industries, I am worried"

"I know what you are worried about, but I just want to say that your joining is a good thing for the company." Tan Yue said: "I have always had this idea when filming "The Long Season". It's acting skills rather than age, and your acting skills are great, I hope we can work together more often in the future."

Looking at Tan Yue's outstretched hand, Fan Shan's heart was moved at this moment.

Age and experience made him look at many things indifferently, but being an actor has always been in his heart.

Engaged in the actor industry, who doesn't want to leave a classic work.

Of course, the last time I filmed "The Long Season", the cooperation with Tan Yue was very pleasant.

Regardless of the shooting atmosphere or Tan Yue's personal charm, Fan Shan wants to continue to cooperate.

"Okay." Fan Shan nodded heavily, stretched out his hands and held them together.

"Welcome to join!!" Tan Yue was also very happy. From today on, the company has added an old actor, which has improved the company's heritage.

After a while, Qin Tao was called to the office.

When it comes to signing contracts with artists, I still go to Qin Tao.

"President Tan, Teacher Fan."

Tan Yue introduced: "This is Qin Tao, the director of our company's artist department."

"Hello Director Qin."

Tan Yue said: "Teacher Fan agreed to join our company, you take Teacher Fan to sign the contract, and tell me the specifics by the way."

"What type of contract do you sign?"

Based on comprehensive consideration of the actor's fame, acting skills and other aspects, Brilliant Entertainment has drawn up several different levels of contracts.

"According to the standards of first-line actors."

Qin Tao replied, "Okay."

Fan Shan was very moved, he didn't expect Tan Yue to give him such a good contract.

After all, my age is here.
