Chapter 990 Dinner Before Filming
Wu Gong asked: "How far have the crew's preparations progressed?"
Zheng Tong took over the topic, and he was basically doing all the preparatory work: "Since the film project was approved, the preparatory work has already started, and it will be completed by the end of this month."
Tan Yue glanced at the date on the computer and saw that there was still about a week before the end of the month.
Wu Gong thought for a while and said: "Then it won't be started until June at the earliest."
"June." Tan Yue thought for a moment: "Time is tight for us, so we should try to start the machine as early as possible."
Zheng Tong said: "Then let's speed up here and catch up with the progress."
"It's better to prepare according to your original plan. Your preparation speed during this period has been fast enough."
If the speed is accelerated, Tan Yue is worried that the quality will be affected.
Wu Gong on the side said: "If the start-up time is set, it will be in early June."
Tan Yue nodded and said, "Okay, the start-up ceremony will be scheduled for June 2nd, and let everyone celebrate Children's Day before the start-up."
The three people looked at each other and smiled.
Tan Yue set the start-up time on June 2nd and had other arrangements: "Mr. Zheng, I will send you a notice that the start-up banquet will be held at the Tianling Hotel on the evening of May 30th. Those who can come will try their best to let us know. It is still an old habit for everyone to get to know each other, so that when the camera is turned on, some people do not know each other and delay the filming. "
"No problem."
After the preparatory work before the start of filming is completed, let everyone get together to have a meal and give them an extra day of buffer time, while the crew still has to go to the shooting location.
Wu Gong asked: "Are reporters invited to interview during the opening ceremony?"
The opening ceremony is also a kind of warm-up in advance to let the audience know that filming of a new movie has begun.
"Just find a few companies and simply promote them."
Tan Yue didn't want to waste too much time on inviting reporters over and conducting interviews.
Wu Gong nodded in agreement. The movie hadn't started shooting yet and he didn't have many tasks.
Tan Yue said: "Let me know when the crew is almost ready, and I'll go over and take a look."
He wants to ensure that there are no problems with all the preparatory work before the movie starts, and that it will not affect the post-production progress.
There was no time to waste when filming The Godfather.
"I come here every day to report on the situation."
"You all go back to your work."
Wu Gong and Zheng Tong got up and left the office.
Zheng Tong began to contact the actors and inform them about attending the opening banquet.
I haven't been idle these days, and I haven't had time to gather a group, so I have to notify each actor one by one.
Tan Yue came to Chen Ziyu's office.
"Tzuyu, the start-up time has been decided. It will start on June 2nd."
"June 2nd." Chen Ziyu glanced at the time on her phone and said, "There's still more than a week left."
Tan Yue came to Chen Ziyu and said: "Time is relatively tight. All preparations for the crew will be completed by the end of this month. The start-up time cannot be postponed any longer."
"It's good. It starts early and ends early." Chen Ziyu is very happy that Tan Yue's new movie will start shooting so soon, but at the same time, she feels a little reluctant.
After all, once filming starts, the two people cannot see each other for anywhere from two to three months to six months at most.
Tan Yue noticed Chen Ziyu's change in mood and comforted him: "This filming won't last long. I will be back soon."
May 30th came in a blink of an eye.
Tan Yue picked up the last document on the desktop, glanced at the time, and speeded up the work.
It's almost time for the crew to have dinner together.
A few minutes later, Chen Ye came to the office.
Tan Yue said: "Xiao Ye, please send the documents to various departments. They have been reviewed and approved."
"Okay, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye said, "It's going to be your dinner time soon."
"I can just go there by myself. After the documents are delivered, you can go home from get off work."
Chen Ye nodded, hugged the document and left.
Tan Yue shut down the computer, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Zheng Tong's number: "Mr. Zheng, how are the arrangements at the hotel? Have the crew members arrived?"
"The arrangements have been made, and the crew and actors have all started heading over there."
"I'll be there right away." Tan Yue stood up from his chair.
"Teacher Fan, Teacher Jiao and Teacher Ma are waiting for you in the lobby on the first floor."
"OK!" Tan Yue hung up the phone, cleared the desktop, and left the office.
"Mr. Tan."
"Mr. Tan."
Taking the elevator to the first floor, many employees were saying hello. Tan Yue nodded to greet the employees. When he came to the lobby, he saw Zheng Tong and others sitting in the lobby chatting.
Fan Shan saw Tan Yue approaching and said, "Mr. Tan is here."
Several people stopped chatting and stood up one after another.
"Mr. Tan."
Tan Yue asked: "Where are Zhang Shengli and Xin Zhi?"
Ma Guoliang replied: "The two of them have passed ahead of time."
"Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting too long, let's get there quickly."
Zheng Tongdao: "My car is at the door. I will take you to the hotel."
Tan Yue looked at the configuration of the people around him and agreed.
Ma Guoliang, Fan Shan, and Jiao Cheng were called the hot-blooded elderly trio by netizens. They just appeared on the street and were greeted by countless people.
Although "The Long Season" has ended for a while, the popularity has not completely subsided. The impact it caused was too great, and the ratings broke five.
Several people got in the car and headed for Tianling Hotel.
It takes more than ten minutes to walk, not to mention driving. They arrived as soon as they started the engine.
Zheng Tong handed the car keys to the staff, and several people, led by another staff member, took the elevator to the fifth floor of Tianling Hotel.
"Ding Dong" As soon as the elevator door opened, they heard the lively sound inside.
There are quite a few crew members and actors, and only the hall can accommodate them.
"Everyone, please come this way." The staff controlled their excitement.
Although they were already familiar with the road, several people still came to the Huaxiang Hall under the guidance of the staff.
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
The originally noisy hall was surprisingly quiet at this moment.
I don't know who whispered "Mr. Tan is here", and many eyes looked at the door of the hall.
People who were closer to the door had already surrounded it.
"Hello!"
Tan Yue also responded to the employees who greeted him one by one.
The employees and artists of Brilliant Entertainment Company were relatively calm, after all, they were often seen in the company.
The other actors were very excited. Tan Yue rarely appeared in the public eye, and it was rare to have such an opportunity today.
Many people went over to shake hands.
Tan Yue did not refuse.
Ma Guoliang, Fan Shan and Jiao Cheng did not escape everyone's enthusiasm. Several people shook hands and came to the main table.
They arrived earlier, and several people sitting at the main table also stood up early to greet them and greeted them one after another.
"Mr. Tan."
The person who spoke was Zhang Shengli, who had not seen him for a few days. His audition process was also relatively smooth. He met Tan Yue's requirements at one time and directly determined the role candidate.
Xin Zhi on the side also shouted.
"Everyone, sit down, we are all family, don't be polite."
Everyone waited until Tan Yue sat down before sitting down. Zheng Tong sat on the left and Fan Shan sat on the right.
Those who could sit at the main table were either the leading actors of the movie or staff such as assistant directors.
At this time, the hall was once again lively, waiting for the start of the opening banquet.
Soon, a man trotted over to Zheng Tong and whispered, "Boss Zheng, everyone is here."
Zheng Tong nodded, turned around and said, "Boss Tan, everyone is here."
"Let's get started."
Zheng Tong told the people around him, and soon the hotel waiter started serving food with a dining cart. There were all kinds of delicious food and drinks.
Everyone started to get familiar with each other while eating and chatting.
"I heard that your company always comes to this hotel for dinner?" This person was a special guest actor.
"Yes, basically."
The person who asked the question gave a thumbs up: "Big companies are different."
The crew members smiled and said: "I'm not bragging to you, we are tired of coming to this place. Now when we hold a wrap-up party or a celebration party, we choose the place ourselves and go wherever we want."
"Damn, this company is too good."
The people around him patted his shoulder: "If our movie has good results this time, there will be such an opportunity. We can go wherever we want to play."
"Then I have to think about it carefully."
At this time, the speakers in the hall suddenly sounded, and Zheng Tong's voice came: "Everyone, stop for a moment, let's applaud and welcome Mr. Tan to say a few words to us."
'Pa pa pa' warm applause rang out in the hall.
Tan Yue took the microphone and said: "First of all, I am very honored to shoot this movie with you. To be honest, this movie will be released simultaneously around the world, so whether it is the crew members or the artists and actors, I hope everyone can show their best working state and work together to make this movie well."
At present, most domestic directors are not qualified to release movies simultaneously around the world. Although many people have some guesses in their hearts, they are still very excited to hear this sentence at this moment.
Tan Yue's speech continued.
"Due to some special reasons, the filming progress of this movie will be faster. I will work hard for you in the next filming time. If you encounter any problems during the filming, you can come to me or our assistant director."
The assistant director stood up and waved to greet the people present.
Tan Yue said: "If you encounter problems with acting, teachers like Ma and Fan can help you solve your doubts."
"Finally, I hope our filming process goes smoothly!"
Warm applause rang out again in the hall.
The assistant director said a few words briefly, and everyone continued to eat.
The current atmosphere is obviously much more lively than at the beginning. The most surprising thing for some newcomers is that the movie they participated in will be released simultaneously around the world.
Of course, it is inseparable from the blessing of wine.
As the protagonist, Tan Yue can't do without drinking. Many people came to toast, but the movie was about to start filming, and he had been controlling his alcohol intake.
There are plenty of opportunities after drinking, and the most important thing at the moment is to shoot the movie quickly.
Everyone also knew that the start of filming was imminent, and those who drank were basically just a little.
More than an hour later
Some people started to leave and go home. Those who didn't drink were just eating.
Several people at the main table also put down their chopsticks and chatted.
Tan Yue said: "Teacher Fan, Teacher Ma, I would like to ask you to give more help to the actors in the crew during the next period of time."
It's the director's job to tell the actors the story, but after so long, he feels that this method is quite good.
Young actors also prefer it.
Fan Shan replied: "Put it down, Mr. Tan, even if you don't say it, we will definitely do it. You also know that Brother Ma and I like to communicate with their young actors."
"It's all up to us." In the past, Ma Guoliang would definitely drink too much, but as long as it was a launch party, he usually wouldn't drink.
Tan Yue asked: "Mr. Zheng, has Teacher Fan arranged a driver?"
Zheng Tong looked confused: "It has been arranged, but Teacher Fan insists that we don't need to send anyone to send him back."
Fan Shan said: "Mr. Tan, I have asked my son to pick me up, so there is no need to trouble the company."
"How can this be possible? It's so far away and it's so late."
"I'm used to being alone. If it weren't for the capital, I would have gone home by myself."
Tan Yue said: "The company has prepared a car, so don't let your son come over. It's not very convenient."
"It's okay. He works nearby. Judging from the time, he should be here." Fan Shan looked up and saw his son at the door: "Mr. Tan, my son is here."
A man who had a slight resemblance to Fan Shan's eyebrows walked in.
Fan Shan introduced: "This is my son Fan Chengyi."
Fan Chengyi greeted everyone, but his expression was somewhat suppressed and excited, and he looked at Tan Yue frequently.
Fan Shan said: "Mr. Tan, let's go back first."
"Be safe on the road!"
Not long after Fan Shan left, Xu Nuo also came to the hotel to pick up Tan Yue.
"Today's opening banquet ends here. Let's have a good drink at the closing banquet. Everyone, go back, rest early, and adjust to your condition. The following tasks are very difficult."
There were not many people in the hall at this time. With the departure of Tan Yue and others, the "The Godfather" launch party was over.
Everyone came to the door of the hotel.
Tan Yue sat in the passenger seat of Promise: "Be careful on your way back."
"Okay."
"You too."
He promised: "Let's go first."
"goodbye!"
Watching Tan Yue leave, several people also left.
On the way.
He promised: "Would you like to drink water? There is water behind you."
Tan Yue leaned back on the chair: "No need, I didn't drink much today. I've been drinking tea."
"How many days until it starts?"
"The day after tomorrow, June 2nd." Tan Yue took a deep breath: "The filming schedule this time will be tight and it won't take too long."
"Filming is filming, so you should pay more attention to rest and don't be too busy." Xu Nuo knew that Tan Yue would have very little rest time when filming, not to mention the tight schedule.
Tan Yue didn't speak. This time he had to rush to release at the same time as "Black Fire", so there wouldn't be much rest time.
The car soon arrived at Ruishan Community.
