Chapter 1057 The Protagonist

Tan Yue tapped the table lightly with his fingers and murmured, "Be more cautious."

From the beginning of writing the script to today, I have been considering the candidate for the protagonist. I still haven't made a choice until now. Isn't it for the sake of being more cautious?

Then he asked, "If you were asked to be the director of this play, who would you choose as the protagonist?"

Zheng Tong looked down at the list in his hand.

Tan Yue seemed to see his concerns and said, "Just tell me your true thoughts and I'll refer to them."

Zheng Tong raised his head and hesitated for a moment, then replied, "If I were the director, I would choose Ma Guoliang as the protagonist of this movie. After the three movies "Forrest Gump", "The Truman Show" and "The Godfather", Ma Guoliang can be said to have been labeled as "box office appeal". If I were a director, I would definitely find such an actor to play the protagonist. With him, at least the box office is guaranteed. And as we said yesterday, it is very conducive to the later publicity work."

Although he didn't want to interfere with the selection of the protagonist, Tan Yue's words had already reached this point, so he had to answer.

Tan Yue rubbed his brows and thought seriously.

Zheng Tong's words made sense. He had always been concerned that Ma Guoliang's frequent appearances would make the audience tired, but he had ignored Ma Guoliang's box office appeal.

Although it would not be as energy-consuming and financially intensive to promote the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" with his fame, the effect of the promotion would be better with Ma Guoliang.

A person may not know the director of a hit movie, but he must know the protagonist in the movie.

"I'll think about the candidate for the protagonist, you go ahead."

"Okay, Mr. Tan." Zheng Tong returned the list of actors in his hand to Tan Yue and turned to leave the office.

Tan Yue opened the list of people, browsed it again, took a sip of tea, and went to the window to think.

According to age, the company has many candidates who can play the leading role in the movie.

But acting skills are one aspect that must be considered.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is a very high-quality movie. To achieve the desired effect, the actor's acting skills must be perfect.

The only person who can really make Tan Yue worry-free is Ma Guoliang.

After these days of consideration, he decided to give up the idea of ​​replacing someone else to play the leading male role.

He still let Ma Guoliang play the leading role.

As Zheng Tong said, if Ma Guoliang played a supporting role in the play, no one could cover his brilliance, and the leading role would become a supporting role instead.

Not to mention the Brilliant Entertainment Company, even the entire domestic entertainment industry might not be able to find someone who could cover his brilliance.

And the most important thing is that Tan Yue was really worried about finding someone else to play the leading male role.

Tan Yue's frown relaxed a little, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed the number.

'Beep-beep-beep'.

A few seconds later, a voice came from the phone: "Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue returned to the computer: "Teacher Ma, are you in the office now?"

"I'm here with Teacher Fan, discussing some issues with him."

"Put aside the discussion for now, I have something to ask you, come to my office."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Tan Yue put down the phone, stood up and opened a cabinet, which contained various documents, including the script, story outline and character biographies of "The Shawshank Redemption".

A few days ago, Chen Ye printed out many copies, all of which were sorted out.

Artist Management Department.

"Teacher Fan, I'm sorry, Mr. Tan asked me to come over, and we will continue to discuss our issues later."

The two often sit together and talk about acting and film issues when they have nothing to do.

As long as Ma Guoliang comes to Fan Shan, he will come as soon as he doesn't understand anything.

Fan Shan also tells him everything he knows.

The two chat for at least an hour.

Ma Guoliang, who loved drinking before, refused Xu Nuo's invitation many times and thought about his acting problems all day.

Ma Guoliang is not called a "drama maniac" for nothing.

Fan Shan smiled and said, "There is plenty of time, you go and get busy first."

"Yes." Ma Guoliang hurriedly got up, picked up his things and put them back in his office.

Then he hurried to the president's office.

"Hello, Teacher Ma!" Chen Ye was sorting out the materials and suddenly saw Ma Guoliang when he looked up.

"Mr. Tan asked me to come over."

"I'll knock on the door for you." Chen Ye probably guessed what was going on and thought that it should be Teacher Ma who played the leading role.

"Thank you!"

Dong Dong Dong.

"Come in."

Chen Ye pushed open the door: "Mr. Tan, Teacher Ma is here."

Tan Yue put down the documents in his hand and said, "Come in and pour a glass of water for Teacher Ma."

"Okay." Chen Ye helped knock on the door and came to pour tea.

"Mr. Tan." Ma Guoliang greeted him.

"Mr. Ma, sit down."

Ma Guoliang pulled out a chair and sat opposite.

"What are you busy with recently?"

Ma Guoliang told him about the communication between him and Fan Shan.

Tan Yue praised: "Your spirit and that of Mr. Fan are really worth learning for these young actors now."

Ma Guoliang is now an international star, and he still maintains an attitude of serious learning and asking for advice, which is very rare and precious.

This person is destined to go far.

This is also an important reason why Tan Yue always lets Ma Guoliang play the leading role.

Ma Guoliang said a little embarrassedly: "Just chatting with Teacher Fan, there is no filming now."

Tan Yue smiled slightly: "I came to you today just to let you film."

"Ah?" Ma Guoliang was stunned for a second.

He didn't think much about it on the way here, and now that he mentioned the new play, his mind couldn't react for a while.

Tan Yue said: "I wrote a new movie some time ago. Here are the script, character biographies and plot summary. Take a look and see if you are interested."

"Yes! Of course!" Ma Guoliang agreed without hesitation before reading the script.

This is Tan Yue's new movie. Is there any reason to hesitate?

"I'm still going to let you play the leading role in this movie. You should read the script first and find out more about it."

"Okay!" Ma Guoliang excitedly took over the script: "The Shawshank Redemption!"

"The name of the new movie."

Ma Guoliang took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement. In this state, it was impossible to understand the script.

After a few seconds, I started reading the plot summary.

He wanted to know first what the new movie was about.

Tan Yue withdrew his gaze, looked at the computer screen, and started processing the files in the mailbox.

As time passed by, Ma Guoliang was completely immersed in the script and attracted by the plot of the movie.

Don't know how long it has been.

Ma Guoliang exclaimed: "This is a very good script!"

When reading the script, he wanted to understand the general content first, but he couldn't help but read the entire script.

Tan Yue stopped typing on the keyboard and looked at Ma Guoliang: "What do you think?"

"I thought "The Godfather" was the ceiling before, but I didn't expect this movie to be as good as "The Godfather."" Ma Guoliang looked extremely excited.

After the box office results of "The Godfather" came out, he once felt that he might never make a better movie in his life. After reading the script of "The Shawshank Redemption", I realized that I was short-sighted.

"Shawshank Redemption" once again refreshed Tan Yue's status in his heart.

In Ma Guoliang's heart, Tan Yue was a ceiling-level existence, and no one could compare with him.

But now there is a feeling of being invincible, and then there are enemies from outside.

Even though they are all the same person.

"Would you like to try out a scene now?" Tan Yue asked.

Although there is no doubt about Ma Guoliang's acting skills, he still wants to see if he has the feeling he wants?

"No problem." Ma Guoliang asked, "Which scene should we try?"

"You can choose any part yourself." Tan Yue didn't have any requirements on which part to try out.

"Okay." Ma Guoliang flipped through the script and pointed to a section: "Mr. Tan, I will try this scene."

"Can."

"Give me some time."

Tan Yue made an "OK" gesture and continued busy with his work while Ma Guoliang was familiar with the script.

Different from the first time when he was familiar with the script, Ma Guoliang read it more carefully this time, especially the character's psychological state and expressions, which required careful consideration.

There is also an analysis of the characters in the script, but it also plays a supporting role. Whether it can be done depends on the actor's own ability.

For Ma Guoliang, these problems can basically be solved at hand. It is just a matter of time.

Some time passed in the blink of an eye, and Ma Guoliang said: "Mr. Tan, I'm ready."

At this time, Tan Yue had finished the work at hand and said expectantly: "Let's get started."

Just in case he forgot his words, Ma Guoliang started to perform with the script in his hand. After all, he had only read it for a short time and he still hadn't memorized some of the lines.

Because he had been discussing acting issues with Fan Shan during this period, he quickly got into the mood of acting.

From the moment Ma Guoliang started performing, Tan Yue, who was sitting in front of the computer, watched intently until the end of the performance.

After the performance, Ma Guoliang couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Tan, how did my performance go?"

He liked the script very much and naturally wanted to know whether it met Tan Yue's requirements.

"That's amazing, Teacher Ma. I didn't expect that your understanding of the characters would reach this level in such a short period of time."

Ma Guoliang's control of the role of 'Andy' was very good, and he perfectly interpreted the character's state in this scene.

Ma Guoliang touched his nose and said sheepishly: "Thank you, Mr. Tan, for giving me so much time to understand this character."

"Teacher Ma, you don't have to be modest. No matter who is auditioning, they need time to understand the character in advance. There are not many people who can do that in such a short period of time."

Tan Yue continued: "I leave this role to you."

Hearing this sentence, Ma Guoliang, who had experienced strong winds and waves, was so excited that he even jumped up. This script gave him an unusual feeling, and he loved the plot and characters of this movie from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Tan. I will definitely try my best to play this role well, and I will never let down such a good movie."

Ma Guoliang wanted to say something more about his performance, but he didn't know how to say it. Normally I don't speak much, but now I'm even more excited and don't know what words to use.

If you talk about acting issues, he may talk to you for an hour non-stop, but when it comes to expressing himself like this, he won't have any words to say more than once.

"I believe you will have no problem." Tan Yue spoke in a very firm tone.

"Then Mr. Tan, I will go back first." Ma Guoliang is now thinking about carefully considering the script of this new movie from beginning to end.

He feels that he has not really fully understood it. If he wants to have a deeper understanding of the characters, then he must know every detail that appears in the script.

"Okay, go back. After you go back, take a good look at it and study the script. Remember to read more biographies of the characters."

"Thank you, Mr. Tan!"

Ma Guoliang controlled his excitement and left the office calmly. The moment he closed the door, he could no longer hide it. He walked towards the elevator in two steps, thinking about rushing to his office.

Tan Yue, who was sitting in front of the computer, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. This problem that had troubled him for many days was finally solved!

The most important thing in a movie is naturally the protagonist. With Ma Guoliang, a powerful old actor, Tan Yue believes that he can perfectly show the characteristics of the character.

Through the half-open window, the sound of car horns on the street can be faintly heard.

Tan Yue stood by the window, aimlessly admiring the scenery that he had seen countless times. His frown finally relaxed completely.

The problem of the protagonist has been solved, and other roles are much easier to deal with.

The list of personnel compiled by Qin Tao can still be used. There are several important roles in the movie, and they also need high-quality actors to play them.

Tan Yue was thinking in his mind that the preparations for the crew have been launched. When all the roles are determined, it will not be long before the start of filming.

"I should be able to sleep well today!" Tan Yue stretched and yawned. He has been anxious for the past few days and basically has not slept well.

Suddenly, he was startled, and a figure slowly emerged in his mind.

This person is Zhou Can.

Tan Yue "hissed" and had a bold idea in his mind: If Zhou Can is allowed to try the protagonist, I wonder if it will work?

Zhou Can was remembered for his exaggerated performance, and then he changed his impression in the audience's mind again because of a serious drama.

Such an actor with a variety of performance styles naturally has no problem with acting.

And Zhou Can's age is also suitable.

The most important point is, if Zhou Can is allowed to play the leading role, isn't it exactly what he has been thinking about before?

Tan Yue closed his eyes and thought about the feasibility of this plan, imagining playing the male lead in the image of Zhou Can.

…

…

PS:

Brothers and sisters, who do you think is more suitable, Ma Guoliang or Zhou Can?
