Chapter 1116 Preparation

Late August.

More than a month had passed since the preparations for the crew. As long as it was Tan Yue's film, it was the company's key project, and most of the employees in the entire film department were mobilized.

Of course, there was also coordination from several other departments.

In such a situation, the preparations for the crew progressed very quickly.

Zheng Tong looked at the schedule in his hand. There was only one item left, and all the preparations before filming could be completed.

These days, as the general commander, he has been working overtime almost every day.

Although Tan Yue also said that he was not in a hurry, Zheng Tong wanted to finish it as soon as possible.

During the day, he checked the preparations in various groups, and after returning at night, he had to summarize the work progress.

Zheng Tong leaned back in his chair, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee to cheer himself up.

He had very heavy dark circles under his eyes, and it looked as if he had not slept for several days.

He usually had a layer of light dark circles under his eyes, which were more obvious after staying up late.

'Dong Dong Dong', there was a knock on the door.

Zheng Tong yawned and said, "Come in."

The person who came in was a supervisor in charge of preparing the crew: "Mr. Zheng, the costumes are ready."

"Is there no problem?" Zheng Tong was a little excited. If the costumes were ready, "Titanic" could start filming.

"I compared them one by one according to the list, and there will be no problem."

"Just in case, I will go over with you to check again. Mr. Tan personally explained that there must be no mistakes." Zheng Tong put the documents away, got up and went with the supervisor.

On the way.

The supervisor said: "Mr. Zheng, your dark circles are too serious. Take a good rest for a few days."

"It doesn't matter. Now as long as there is no problem with the costumes, the work of preparing the crew is completed. There will be plenty of time for me to rest." Zheng Tong didn't take it to heart.

Seeing this, the supervisor didn't say anything more.

The two came to the first floor. The film department and the TV series department would store the costumes and various props in this room before starting.

The supervisor said: "These are the clothes of the male and female protagonists, as well as the makeup."

"Show me the list."

In order to avoid unnecessary problems, Zheng Tong carefully checked the clothes while looking at the list.

The supervisor led the way.

"These are the clothes of the extras."

"Let's count the number separately."

"Okay."

One person counted the clothes of the male extras, and the other counted the clothes of the female extras.

The clothes of the extras do not need to be checked like the clothes of the protagonists. There is no need to check the quality of the clothes, as long as the number is consistent.

More than ten minutes later, the two people counted all the clothes.

Zheng Tongdao: "It's done well this time, there are no problems."

"Of course, Mr. Tan's movie dare not be careless, and he counted many times over and over again."

"No matter whose movie it is, we must ensure that it will be the same as this time in the future, and there will be no problems."

"What Mr. Zheng said is right, and I will do the same in the future."

There were problems with the clothes before, and it was this supervisor who was responsible, so Zheng Tong said so.

"The work is done, let's go back."

The two of them took the elevator, and the supervisor came down at the film department floor. Zheng Tong continued to take the elevator to the president's office on the eighth floor, and met Chen Ye holding a document.

"Secretary Chen, is Mr. Tan in the office?"

"Inside, please go in directly."

"Okay, thank you, I just want to report something to Mr. Tan."

Walking to the door of the office, Zheng Tong knocked on the door gently, and pushed the door in after being allowed.

He was about to speak when he saw Tan Yue indicating that he was on the phone.

So he sat down and waited for a moment.

Tan Yue put down the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Tan, the last costume work in the preparation of "Titanic" has been completed."

"Finished?" Tan Yue said, "Have the others been completed?"

"Yes, the costume is the last one."

"Come with me to take a look."

The film was shot abroad. If there is a problem in the middle, it will be very troublesome. Even if you go to see it now, it is better than encountering problems later.

The two first looked at some of the props. In fact, the largest prop is now abroad, that is, Newfoundland.

Since the scenes were shot on the ship, a ship was definitely needed.

For convenience and to save costs, people were sent directly to Newfoundland to make some ship props for the shooting there.

Then the two looked at the costumes.

After making sure there were no problems, Tan Yue returned to the office alone.

He took out a folder from the cupboard, which contained the preparations for the "Titanic" crew.

Tan Yue wanted to confirm it again to make sure there were no problems.

The first thing was the location of the scene. Of course, there was still a part that needed to be shot in the studio, such as: the part where everyone was floating on the sea after the shipwreck.

These places have been found in Newfoundland.

The second is the situation of the actors.

Now all have been notified, and the actors are all in place.

The third point is the composition of the crew.

This time, the assistant director is the same person as the previous movie "The Shawshank Redemption". Tan Yue also intends to train him, hoping that he will be able to be a director and shoot a movie in the future.

The twenty people who went abroad to study at that time have all returned to China, and they are also in the crew.

What exactly did they learn from going abroad this time? The result will be known after the crew starts filming.

In addition, the costumes and props are all ready, and the next step is to start filming.

Tan Yue put the documents on the table and stood in front of the window looking at the scenery outside.

The weather in Beijing is not very good today. The sun is completely covered by dark clouds, otherwise he would not open the curtains.

Tan Yue calculated the start time in his mind.

In his opinion, it is no problem to start filming a few months later, after all, the shock brought by "The Shawshank Redemption" is too strong.

It's just that some of the locations during the filming must allow him to start filming within the next few months, otherwise he will have to wait until next year.

After some thinking.

Tan Yue decided to set the start time in the next few weeks.

He returned to the computer, picked up the script, and began to make a shooting plan.

The script improvement work of "Titanic" was completed a long time ago.

Tan Yue thought about the time and wrote a rough plan in his notebook.

The shooting plan must be discussed with the crew in a meeting.

The next office.

"Mr. Chen, this document needs your signature."

Chen Ziyu picked up a pen and looked at the content of the document.

This is a business cooperation with other companies, which she had discussed with others before.

Seeing that there was no problem with the document, Chen Ziyu signed it directly.

"Are there any more documents outside?"

The secretary shook her head and said, "There are no more."

Chen Ziyu nodded and said, "You go and get busy."

After the secretary left, Chen Ziyu got up and moved her body.

After get off work yesterday, she and Tan Yue went to a friend's store for a massage, and the effect was very good.

After arriving at the company in the morning, she processed documents for more than two hours, and her neck did not feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the empty desk, there was no work to be dealt with for the time being, so Chen Ziyu left the office and came to Tan Yue.

"Ayue, what are you busy with?"

"The preparations for the crew have been completed. Let me see how to arrange the shooting plan." Tan Yue put down his work and chatted with Chen Ziyu.

"I heard you mention the costumes and props weren't finished a few days ago. Did you just prepare them today?" Hearing that the crew's preparations had been completed, Chen Ziyu knew that the two would be separated for a while, and a feeling of reluctance arose spontaneously.

"Yes, Zheng Tong came to tell me this morning. We checked it and confirmed that there were no problems."

Although she was reluctant, Chen Ziyu didn't show it. The last time she talked about this matter, Tan Yue wanted to speed up the filming progress, and she couldn't show it this time anyway.

After all, the movie is the top priority now, and she can't let Tan Yue be distracted because of herself.

"I have been thinking about this movie for a long time. I can dream about some scenes in the script when I dream at night. Now it's finally going to start filming. I'm looking forward to the day when this movie is released!" Chen Ziyu said with a smile.

She didn't lie. Ever since she heard the love story in this movie, she began to look forward to it.

"We'll go to the cinema on the first day of the release."

"Okay!" Chen Ziyu said happily: "When will the filming start?"

Tan Yue looked down at the schedule he made and said: "I thought about it. If it's too cold, it's not suitable for taking pictures of the scenery. So I want to start filming earlier."

Chen Ziyu nodded: "This is indeed an aspect that should be considered."

"After the schedule is made, we will study the start time."

Chen Ziyu said "hmm" and used chatting to divert the reluctance in his heart.

"Chen Xiang, that stinky boy, finally told me about his relationship."

"Oh! How is it now?"

The two began to gossip.

Chen Ziyu couldn't stand her mother's urging, so she had to send a message to Chen Xiang to care about his relationship.

The result was just as Chen Ziyu said, always changing the subject, but not answering.

In the morning, Chen Ziyu sent a message again and got some news.

"He said it's still the same as before, loving each other."

Tan Yue said with a smile: "Is he just perfunctory?"

"That's how I feel." Chen Ziyu said: "Help me analyze it."

"I think they should be fine. If things don't go well, Auntie should be able to see some problems."

Chen Ziyu said, "Tsk," and said: "It's hard to say. This kid hides it very deeply. Once he broke up for half a year before we knew about it."

Tan Yue was a little surprised, and then said: "Don't worry too much. It's hard to say about feelings. If two people can continue to be together, it means they are suitable. If they break up, it only means they are not suitable."

"That's right." Chen Ziyu said: "Anyway, the task assigned by my mother has been completed, so she doesn't ask me to send messages to Chen Xiang every day."

The two continued to chat.

Artist Management Department.

"What do you think is wrong with the segment we just performed?" Liu Qian asked.

Li Youfan thought: "I think the problem should be in the eye contact."

For more than a month, the two have often acted together.

Now the two are no longer unfamiliar with each other as when they first started acting together, and gradually have a tacit understanding.

This is also the effect of running-in.

Tan Yue asked them to get familiar with each other's acting habits so that they would not delay the shooting progress when the camera was turned on.

Liu Qian took over the topic and said, "Yes, the problem lies in the eyes. A look can make the audience enter the play or out of the play. The eyes are very important to an actor."

"I have been strengthening my practice in this area during this period, but the effect has not been very good." Li Youfan was a little distressed. No matter how hard he tried, he could not improve much.

"My suggestion is to practice more in front of the mirror. Of course, this is based on the familiarity of the script." Liu Qian said, "You have a very good grasp of the script. Don't worry, practice slowly, you will definitely be able to do it."

Liu Qian also knew everything about the problems Li Youfan encountered in acting and shared some of her own experiences.

During this period, she felt a little surprised at the speed of Li Youfan's progress.

It can be said that he has truly stepped into the ranks of powerful actors.

"I'm a little worried that there won't be enough time."

"Don't worry too much. You can't get fat in one bite. You've made a lot of progress during this period. After the filming starts, Mr. Tan will also guide you in this regard. You can ask him more at that time."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for reminding me."

In Li Youfan's mind, Tan Yue is one of the bosses of the company.

Facing the vice president, he was a little nervous.

Liu Qian said, "Let's stop here for now. We'll continue the rehearsal tomorrow."

"I'm going back." Li Youfan got up and left.

After returning to his office, he sat down on the sofa, leaning on the pillow, and continued to read the script.

After this period of study, he also noticed his improvement in acting. Although he is still far from being an old actor, he is completely on a different level compared to his previous self.

Li Youfan also gradually gained confidence in himself.

The blows in the past few years made him lose confidence.

His current state has gradually changed and he has become more confident.

Confidence and lack of confidence are completely two different feelings.

Li Youfan covered his face with the script.

Looking at the entire entertainment industry, which actor doesn't want to star in Tan Yue's movie?

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare to think about it.

He knows his acting skills.

And now he has the script of Tan Yue's new movie in his hand, and he is the male lead of this movie. No matter how much effort and hardship he puts in, he must perform well in this movie.

Thinking of this, Li Youfan sat up straight, picked up a pen, and continued to study the script.

He can't remember how many times he has read the script of "Titanic", but every time he reads it, he will show his best state.

After a while.

Li Youfan stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

At present, his biggest problem is his eyesight, which will be the key problem that needs to be overcome in the next period of time.
