Chapter 1061 Crew Established

Weekend.

Ruishan Community.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two of them lay on the sofa, looking at their respective mobile phones.

A breeze blew by, and they felt the long-lost coolness.

Since entering May, the weather in Beijing has been getting hotter and hotter, and layers of heat waves can be felt on the asphalt road.

Chen Ziyu put down his mobile phone, got up and went to the window: "Ayue, today's sunny weather is very good, very suitable for going out to play."

"It's a rare weekend of leisure, let's drive out for a stroll."

One is the boss and the other is the vice president, and sometimes there are work to deal with on weekends.

"Great! I haven't felt the nature for a long time." Chen Ziyu was very happy: "Where are we going?"

Tan Yue thought: "Didn't you say last time to go to the suburbs you went to before, are you still interested?"

"Okay! Let's go there."

"Go pack up first, and we'll leave after we're done."

The two returned to their respective rooms to change clothes.

In fact, there was another reason for going out suddenly this time.

The crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" is in preparation, and they will go abroad for filming after everything is ready. The shooting period can be as short as three months, or as long as half a year.

If you don't go out this time, you will have to wait until the film is finished before you can go out again.

Besides, Chen Ziyu has always wanted to take advantage of the cool weather to play around Beijing.

Half an hour later, Tan Yue drove out of Ruishan Community and headed for the destination.

The internal roads were very crowded, so in order to get to the place faster, Tan Yue drove on the ring road.

As they moved away from the city center, the roads became smoother and the speed of the cars became faster and faster.

"Take a photo." Chen Ziyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, moved towards Tan Yue, took a photo of the two of them with her phone in her right hand.

She thought about what to post on her Moments.

"The flowers on the roadside are pretty!"

"There's even a forest here?!"

"Why is the car next to you driving so fast!"

Chen Ziyu talked about the scenery on the road.

Tan Yue had a smile on his face. This relaxing weekend without work also made him particularly happy.

The two chatted as the car got off the highway and arrived in the suburbs.

Tan Yue slowed down.

"Ayue, look over there, what kind of tree is that? The flowers are pretty."

"I checked when I passed by last time and it seems to be a pomegranate tree."

Chen Ziyu directly clicked on the recording function and recorded the beautiful scenery in his mobile phone.

He chose to record a video instead of taking a photo, so that it would be easier to find good-looking photos.

The car drove for nearly half an hour and found an empty parking space.

"There are cars over there, too. Let's park here."

"Okay."

After the car was turned off, the two got out of the car. Chen Ziyu wore a white sun hat and casual clothes.

Tan Yue's outfit was similar, except that he had a mask and sunglasses on his face.

After all, it was a public place, so he didn't want to be discovered and cause unnecessary trouble.

Tan Yue opened the back door, took out the bag and put it on his shoulder. There were water cups, fruits, and some food in it.

The two planned to play until the afternoon.

There were some restaurants around, but it was not appropriate with Tan Yue around.

After discussing it, they decided to have a simple lunch and eat after they got home.

Chen Ziyu took Tan Yue's arm and walked towards the mountain.

Perhaps it was the weekend, so there were more people out for fun.

"Take a picture."

Tan Yue took off his mask and showed his face.

In this way, the two of them spent a pleasant weekend while enjoying the scenery and taking pictures.

Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was early June.

Beijing, Brilliant Entertainment Company.

President's Office.

Tan Yue lowered his head and looked at the documents on the table carefully, tapping the table lightly with a pen in his right hand.

The live broadcast event of the new media department and Douyin ended last night, and he was looking at the various data that appeared during the live broadcast.

The document contains the actual number of people online during the live broadcast and some comments from netizens.

The highest peak of the data appeared in the period when several anchors appeared on the stage together, and the real-time number of people online in the live broadcast room exceeded five million.

This cooperation is an attempt by both parties.

Tan Yue looked at everyone's data, which was very eye-catching, much higher than the usual live broadcast.

What is more gratifying is that through this live broadcast, the number of fans of each anchor has increased.

"Xiao Ye, come here for a moment." Tan Yue put down the internal phone.

A moment later, Chen Ye knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue said: "I sent a document to your email, print it out and organize it, and send it to the public relations department."

"Yes."

"Go to the new media department for the party and find Mr. Ma. I saw that the live broadcast yesterday was very fruitful, so I asked her to organize a plan for me, just like this kind of activity, and asked her to contact Douyin."

"Okay." Chen Ye turned and left.

Tan Yue stretched his waist and came to the balcony, looking outside to relax his tired spirit.

He had been dealing with work for two hours, and his brain was a little tired.

"I wonder how the crew is preparing?" Tan Yue rubbed his eyes.

The crew encountered some problems in the preparation work recently.

The location of this shooting is still abroad, because most of the clips in the movie are prisons, Tan Yue wants to find an abandoned prison abroad as a shooting location.

We initially found one in New York, but the other party was reluctant. After several days of negotiations, we ended up looking elsewhere.

‘Dong dong dong’

A knock on the door interrupted Tan Yue's thoughts.

"Come in." Tan Yue sat back in front of the computer.

"Mr. Tan." The person who pushed in the door was Zheng Tong: "The shooting location matter has been resolved."

"Where?"

"In Mansfield, Ohio." Zheng Tong sat across from him: "This prison has been abandoned for ten years. Although it is a bit dilapidated inside, it can still be used after repairs."

"How did you find this place?"

Zheng Tongdao: "It's a coincidence that this place has been abandoned for many years. Recently, the local people want to build this place into a tourist attraction. I first heard that they want to rent their place and they have to pay us to repair it before we can use it. But I heard later "It was your movie and they agreed without paying any rent."

Tan Yue sighed in his heart: "He is really an angel investor."

The filming location of "The Shawshank Redemption" on Earth has become a popular tourist attraction.

"It's good. Let them take a set of photos. If there are no problems, we can make a decision directly."

"No problem." Zheng Tong felt much more relaxed.

These days I have been worrying about the shooting location, like ants on a hot pot, and sometimes I wish I could go abroad to find a shooting location.

Fortunately, the good news finally came.

"How are you preparing for other work?"

"Everything is being prepared smoothly. All the costumes can be made tomorrow and all the makeup artists have been found." Zheng Tong said in detail.

"From what you say, it should be almost finished."

Zheng Tong said 'hmm': "It will probably take another week to get everything ready."

As long as it is Tan Yue's new film project, all the company's resources will be given priority, so the crew's preparations are progressing very quickly.

Tan Yue nodded with satisfaction. After the crew completed preparations, they could start shooting.

Preparations for the production of "The Shawshank Redemption" are in good order.

A week flies by.

film department.

Zheng Tong carefully compared a list with a pen in his hand, comparing items and crossing them out.

It’s about the crew’s preparations and there’s no room for carelessness.

He couldn't afford it if the start-up time or the filming schedule were delayed due to his own negligence.

And with so many resources being skewed and there still being flaws, he no longer needs to be the director of the film department.

"Costume complete."

"The venue is complete."

"Staff done."

There is one last item on the final list that has not yet been completed.

Zheng Tong pulled out yesterday's documents, thinking that today should be over.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Zheng Tong looked up at the door.

"Mr. Zheng."

"Are the props ready?" Zheng Tong asked impatiently.

The person who came in was the supervisor responsible for preparing the props.

"It's done. I'll come over as soon as it's done."

The time Zheng Tong gave them ends today.

"Make sure there's no problem."

The supervisor said confidently: "Mr. Zheng, you can rest assured when it comes to preparing props. I checked it myself before coming over to make sure there is no problem. If there is any problem, I will take responsibility for it."

Zheng Tong did not continue chatting in this regard, and instead looked at the list in his hand: "Now all the work has been completed, and the crew is finally ready."

For nearly a month, it can be said that all his energy was devoted to preparing the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption", and he even dreamed at night arranging various matters.

Now that Bright Entertainment has entered the international entertainment industry, it is facing increasing competitive pressure.

There can be no room for error in every step you take.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is the company's fourth film to be released simultaneously around the world. The importance of this film was recognized by all senior executives of the company during the meeting.

This made Zheng Tong dare not relax at all when making preparations.

But before the big stone in his heart really fell to the ground, these preparations had to be confirmed by Tan Yue himself.

"You go and wait first. I will go there with Mr. Tan later."

"Okay."

Zheng Tong said worriedly: "Check it carefully when you get back."

The supervisor responded and left.

Zheng Tong went through the list again and got up to go to the president's office.

With nervousness, he raised his hand and knocked on the glass door.

"Come in." Tan Yue's voice came.

Zheng Tong pushed the door open and walked in: "Mr. Tan, the last task of the crew's preparations, the props are ready."

Tan Yue was looking at the back structure of the shooting location, and he was thinking about how to arrange the camera position for better shooting.

"Let's go down and take a look first."

"Um."

What they want to see are the costumes and props.

Under the leadership of Zheng Tong, the two people came to a storage room in the logistics department.

“The costumes and props are all inside.”

Tan Yue nodded slightly, and as soon as he walked in, he was greeted by someone. This person was the person in charge of the costumes.

Zheng Tongtong: "Let me introduce you to Mr. Tan."

"Okay, here are the men's clothes."

Whether it was the protagonist's clothes or the supporting roles' clothes, Tan Yue checked them carefully and asked Zheng Tong to check them again with the list.

It took more than an hour to look at the costumes and then the props.

"There are no problems with the costumes and props, they are well done." Tan Yue said: "Go back first."

Zheng Tong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Until now, all the preparations have been completed.

The two took the elevator back to the president's office.

Tan Yue sat in front of the computer, and Zheng Tong sat opposite.

"What is the current situation at the venue?"

"Since the agreement, the repair work has begun there. According to your requirements, we have made changes to some rooms, and they have accepted them."

Tan Yue now has a great influence internationally.

When he heard that he was going to make a movie, no matter what the matter was, it was very easy to discuss.

"How long will it take to complete this?"

"If it's fast, it will take a week, and if it's slow, it will take two weeks."

Tan Yue picked up a document and flipped through it. It was the crew's preparations submitted by Zheng Tong.

This is a detailed document, and every item of the crew's preparations is clearly written.

Tan Yue looked at it page by page, and suddenly asked: "If you start shooting, when do you think the time is right?"

There were basically no problems with the preparations, and he began to consider the start time.

Zheng Tong pondered, "My suggestion is to start filming after the venue is fully arranged. If we follow the normal speed, the venue required for filming can be built within a week, and starting filming at that time will not delay the progress of filming."

What he was worried about was that the entire crew flew to the place, but the venue was not built yet, and he would not be able to report this matter to Tan Yue at that time.

Tan hummed lightly, nodded, and said, "This is also a problem."

The office was quiet in an instant.

Tan Yue was thinking.

Zheng Tong was looking at Tan Yue, after all, his words on this matter did not count.

Tan Yue opened the script and said, "I thought about it and decided to start filming earlier."

The crew has already completed the preparations, and it would be a waste of time to wait for them to be completed.

Tan Yue silently said "a week" in his heart, while thinking about the time: "Let's do this, the start time is tentatively set to be a week later. Even if the prison part is not built, we can shoot the plot of other parts first."

Not all scenes of this play were shot in prison.

"If we adjust the shooting plan, we will have plenty of time, and we don't have to worry about the location." Zheng Tong agreed.

"Let's set it for a week later. Let's notify them after we go back tonight. Don't forget to create a group."

Zheng Tong said "OK."

"Have you settled the visa issue for the crew members?" Tan Yue suddenly remembered this.

Visas are the top priority. This time we are still going to the United States to shoot. If this issue is not resolved, there is no need to start shooting.

"All done."

"Then let's do it. The start time is set for next Tuesday."

Zheng Tong calculated the date. Next Tuesday is June 15th.

The start time of "The Shawshank Redemption", Tan Yue's fourth film to be released simultaneously around the world, has been officially confirmed.
