Chapter 467 Audition

Afternoon.

Tan Yue came to the TV drama department, Qian Tao was already waiting.

The two went to the audition place of "Baolian Lantern". On the way, Qian Tao told Tan Yue about the situation of the audition actors.

Tan Yue raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised that Liu Qian also came to audition.

Among the many female artists in the company, Liu Qian can be said to be one of the most advanced ones.

Tan Yue has also heard of her reputation and often sees some information about her.

Putting himself in her shoes, without knowing the script of "Baolian Lantern" and the previous achievements of "Baolian Lantern", if Tan Yue was an actor, he would not be very optimistic about "Baolian Lantern".

For artists in the rising period, the most important thing is not to make money, but to build a good reputation in the hearts of the audience. Of course, the stars who make a fortune and then fall are not counted.

At present, all the traffic stars in China, except Zhang Wenhua, are almost performing to the public what is called a flash in the pan.

This kind of traffic star can reach a very high level in a short period of time, but it is too superficial and has an unreliable foundation. It will be like a meteor, leaving a short brilliance in the sky and then turning into ashes.

Chen Ziyu was one of the promoters of the traffic star boom. Traffic stars can also be divided into different categories. The top one is the top traffic star. This top traffic star belongs to the ranks of first-line big stars. Looking at all the top streamers in recent years, there are only six or seven people.

Among these six or seven people, two are signed artists under Brilliant Entertainment.

One is the current first-line artist Zhang Wenhua. The other is Li Youfan, who has fallen from the first line to the second line.

Li Youfan looks more refined than Zhang Wenhua. It is said that he was a school grass during school. Later, he was discovered by a scout of Brilliant Entertainment and signed.

Later, the traffic boomed, and Li Youfan was lucky to become one of the chess pieces selected by Brilliant Entertainment. After repeated support, he finally stood out and became a top traffic star. In just two or three years, he entered the ranks of first-line artists.

However, forcing growth is not a long-term solution.

After being a first-line star for less than half a year, he quickly fell down again.

Although he was already on the downhill road, Li Youfan made a lot of money in the past two years, at least enough for him to live for several lifetimes.

And the Brilliant Entertainment Company, of course, made a lot of money.

The money was made, but the artist was also useless. In the future, it is estimated that he can only become a topic of conversation after dinner. In the entertainment industry, he will never be the protagonist again.

In recent months, it seems that no big productions or popular variety shows have been looking for Li Youfan. He has been cold. This circle is very realistic. People without value are equivalent to useless people.

Compared with Li Youfan, Zhang Wenhua can be said to be lucky. If he had not met Tan Yue at the beginning, his end would not be much better than Li Youfan.

It can be said that it was Tan Yue who saved Zhang Wenhua. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Wenhua still has great respect for Tan Yue even though he is a first-line star.

From the original "Tucao Conference" to the later song delivery, he even gave Zhang Wenhua a surprise at the concert. During this period, he guided Zhang Wenhua to develop in the direction of singing and dancing.

Although Zhang Wenhua is not as popular as he was at his peak, he is still a top star, the longest-lasting top star, and there is a trend of transformation from a top star to a powerful star.

Tan Yue and Qian Tao came to the audition place.

This is a large conference room. At this moment, the staff has moved the long table in the conference room out and vacated the conference room.

The staff standing at the door saw Tan Yue and Qian Tao coming over and greeted them.

Tan Yue smiled lightly and nodded slightly.

The two walked into the conference room, and the audition had not started yet.

At one end of the conference room, there was a rectangular table with a baby fleece blanket on it and mineral water on it. There was also a small sign next to the mineral water with a name on it.

This is the position of the audition judges. Judging from the name, there are three audition judges.

At this time, two people were already sitting on the left and right, and the middle position was vacant.

"Mr. Tan, Mr. Qian."

"Mr. Tan is here."

"Mr. Tan, Mr. Qian."

The people in the conference room greeted the two people one after another.

Tan Yue nodded in response, walked to the table, and greeted the two people who stood up opposite.

"Director Lin, Teacher Zhang."

The two people are Lin Qingye, the director of "The Lotus Lantern", and Zhang Hong, the screenwriter.

Lin Qingye is in his forties, with thick black hair and a medium physique. From the outside, he is a more literary person.

Zhang Hong just celebrated his 50th birthday some time ago. Before that, Tan Yue gave the original script of "The Lotus Lantern" to five outstanding screenwriters in the TV series department, and Zhang Hong was the oldest one among them.

Zhang Hong made the most suggestions for the script of "The Lotus Lantern", so in the end Tan Yue decided to let Zhang Hong and him be the screenwriters of "The Lotus Lantern".

Of course, when signing, Zhang Hong must be behind Tan Yue.

The reason for doing this is that Tan Yue is too busy at work. It is destined that it is impossible to put a lot of energy on the secondary revision and polishing of the script. It only needs to be checked once at the end.

In this case, the experienced Zhang Hong is a good assistant.

After saying hello, Tan Yue walked to the middle of the judges' seats and sat down. In the middle was his name - Tan Yue.

Qian Tao sat on one side. He was not a judge of the audition and could only watch.

After Tan Yue sat down, Lin Qingye picked up the script and asked Tan Yue about some unclear points.

Lin Qingye came into contact with the script later, but after getting the script, he immediately felt a sense of excitement and understood most of the script in a short time.

After reading the script, Lin Qingye instantly admired Tan Yue. He could write such a good script for the first time.

Lin Qingye read the revised script, but no matter how the script was revised, it was revised on the basis of the original script given by Tan Yue.

The more he read the script, the more he liked it. However, although he studied it deeply, there were still some unclear points. After all, this story was not written by him, and Zhang Hong could not give him a very satisfactory answer.

Lin Qingye's question was relatively general, what was the story about.

Because at his level, he had read too many scripts, and he knew how to shoot here and how the actors should act at a glance.

He needs to have a deeper grasp of the story as a whole, so that he can have a clearer direction when filming the drama.

Tan Yue looked at Lin Qingye and said, "Director Lin, the story of "The Lotus Lantern" can actually be summarized in one sentence. In order to save his mother, Chenxiang ignored his uncle Erlang Shen's obstruction and split Huashan with an axe."

Lin Qingye nodded.

Tan Yue continued, "However, how to shoot more than 30 episodes requires a very high script. You should know the folk legend of Chenxiang splitting the mountain to save his mother, but the story told in our script is even more bizarre than this folk legend."

Lin Qingye looked serious and said, "Yes, just from the direction of the male protagonist, it is just this line, but we have to tell a story of more than 30 episodes, which requires a very high script for us."

Tan Yue said, "Yes, like how Chenxiang found his mother, there was a very tortuous process. At first, he felt that he seemed to have magic, and then he discovered the existence of the Lotus Lantern and ran to the underworld to read the Book of Life and Death. Then he found out, huh? His mother is not dead. She is not dead, but where is she? With this question, he kept looking for the answer."

The drama "The Lotus Lantern" is a rare mythological drama on CCTV. For this drama, CCTV abandoned the historical drama it has always pursued, spent several years, invested huge amounts of money, and worked hard to shoot. Naturally, it was because it was optimistic about the quality of this drama.

Lin Qingye's face flashed with a thoughtful look, and he nodded gently.

Tan Yue looked at Lin Qingye and knew that he had understood in his heart, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After all, even if Lin Qingye didn't understand "Baolian Lantern", there was still Tan Yue. As the second male lead who was more eye-catching than the first male lead in the play, his role was from the beginning to the end of the play. Tan Yue was always watching on the scene, and there would be no mistakes in quality.

This time, he participated in "Baolian Lantern" with so many roles, which was also a training for Tan Yue.

Tan Yue had great ambitions in the future. Success after success gave him confidence and gave him the confidence to realize his huge ambitions.

He had never been involved in TV dramas before. Now he had to have a deep understanding of the shooting and even the whole process of publicity and distribution of film and television dramas at the fastest speed.

He learned from Lin Qingye from a macro perspective and learned from playing Erlang Shen himself in the details.

The shooting of "Baolian Lantern" this time was destined to progress slowly, because Tan Yue had made preparations for repeated NG.

At this time, a staff member came over and asked if the audition could start.

Tan Yue, Lin Qingye, and Zhang Hong were all ready to start the audition.

As the audition began, the meeting room was quickly cleared. Except for two staff members, all the others left the meeting room.

Soon, footsteps were heard at the door.

According to Tan Yue's request, when selecting actors, the contracted artists under the Brilliant Entertainment Company should be considered first.

If the actors arrive on time, they will audition for the important roles first, because the actors who audition for important roles are generally of higher status. In this case, it is not good to keep these high-profile artists waiting for a long time.

The entertainment industry is so realistic. If you are not a big star, you have to wait outside slowly.

The first person to audition is the second-tier artist Liu Qian. Liu Qian's role is the female number one in "Baolian Lantern", the fox spirit Xiaoyu.

Although she is a contracted artist of the company, the procedures should be followed normally. The information about Liu Qian was placed in front of the three judges. Qian Tao, who was sitting on the side, was not ignored either. The staff also gave him a copy. After all, he was the head of the TV drama department, and the staff knew who was the immediate superior.

Tan Yue picked up Liu Xi's information, and some information about her emerged in his mind.

Before, Tan Yue had been ranked first on the list of second-tier public figures for a while. Because he had read the list of second-tier public figures several times, Tan Yue had some impression of some people at the top.

Liu Xi was at the top of the list of second-tier public figures, and it seemed to be 60 or 70?

Liu Xi came to the meeting room that served as a temporary audition venue.

Her arrival brought a lot of pressure to a group of artists.

After all, apart from the three first-tier artists, Liu Xi was one of the most famous artists in the company.

Of course, everyone subconsciously ignored the fact that the company had recently added another first-tier star.

It's just that everyone habitually only thinks of first-tier big stars, and Tan Yue is not an artist, but a behind-the-scenes staff. He can be called a first-tier public figure, but not a first-tier big star.

"So beautiful!"

"I guess Liu Qian is here to audition for the female lead."

"That's for sure. If someone of her status auditions for the female lead, who else would audition for the female lead? Are you qualified?"

"Fuck you, shut up if you can't talk."

"Like a fairy, she's really charming."

Many people were talking in low voices. Some who knew Liu Qian had already gone up to greet her.

As the staff came out to notify her, Liu Qian walked into the meeting room amid the envious gazes of the crowd.

As Liu Qian walked in, the staff closed the door behind her.

Instantly, I felt quiet in my ears. In fact, there was no noise outside, just some people were talking in a low voice, and the meeting room was very quiet.

Although the environment was a bit depressing, Liu Qian didn't feel nervous at all. She had experienced many such occasions.

When she came to the center of the venue, she looked indifferent, looked at the three teachers opposite her, and said, "Hello, teacher, I'm Liu Qian, here to audition for the role of Xiaoyu, the heroine of "Baolian Lantern."

In fact, among the three people opposite her, except for Tan Yue, the other two were not as high-ranking as her.

Liu Qian looked at Tan Yue, who was sitting in the middle of the judges' seats. When there were outsiders present, she always showed indifference. Only in front of close people did she appear cute and innocent.

From the seats of the three judges, it can be seen that the three judges are mainly Tan Yue.

Generally speaking, this kind of audition should be dominated by the director. But now that Tan Yue is the main one, no one will say anything, including Lin Qingye, because Tan Yue's status is much higher than theirs, and he can't raise other thoughts.

Tan Yue did not refuse, or rather, he was very happy to do so. He wanted to be familiar with the whole process of preparation, shooting, and publicity of film and television dramas, so he had to take the initiative in this process.

Tan Yue has a gentle personality, but it does not mean that he does things gently. People who are familiar with Tan Yue know that Tan Yue does things in an orderly manner without dragging their feet.

Liu Qian had been given part of Xiaoyu's script before, so that she could learn about it in advance, and next, Tan Yue needed to choose a place in the script and let Liu Qian perform it.

If Liu Xi's performance can satisfy the three people present, she can pass the audition. If she cannot satisfy the three people, she will have to be replaced.

In fact, when Liu Xi came in, Tan Yue felt a sense of brightness, but Liu Xi gave him the feeling of not being the vixen Xiaoyu, but the fairy Chang'e.

Unfortunately, the fairy Chang'e had too few scenes, and Liu Xi was destined to have no chance.
