Chapter 568 Turn On

In a private room in a hotel in Beijing.

Six dishes were placed on a square dining table, with Tan Yue and Jiao Cheng sitting on both sides.

"Teacher Jiao, how did you read the script?" Tan Yue poured a cup of tea and asked with a smile.

Jiao Cheng's main energy in the past two years has been on recording "Longing for Life", but there is a relatively long gap between the recording of each season of "Longing for Life".

During this gap, Jiao Cheng used to do other things, such as releasing songs or filming movies and TV series.

Jiao Cheng himself is on the list of first-line public figures. He is a three-dimensional artist in film, television and music, and has a high level of qualifications in the circle. Now, he has a more hobby nature.

Of course, he also makes money and wants to go higher in the entertainment industry, but he is not as desperate as young people to rush up.

Also with the traffic and popularity of "Longing for Life", Jiao Cheng is now ranked 13th on the list of first-line public figures.

Recently, the new season of "Longing for Life" ended. After Jiao Cheng made a cameo appearance in a movie shot by a friend, he received an audition invitation from Tan Yue's new drama.

Jiao Cheng was shocked by the audition invitation.

He knew the importance of Tan Yue's new drama in the entertainment industry, and many actors were trying their best to participate in it.

After receiving Tan Yue's invitation, Jiao Cheng also took it very seriously. Even though he was still making a cameo appearance on the set, he immediately ran to Tan Yue for an audition. After passing the audition, Tan Yue gave him a script and asked Jiao Cheng to learn more about it in advance.

After Jiao Cheng returned to the set, he hurried to finish filming his part, and used all the time in between to familiarize himself with the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Today is the second day after returning to Beijing, and I made an appointment with Tan Yue for a meal.

Jiao Cheng turned around, picked up the briefcase he brought with him, took out the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" that Tan Yue had given him before, handed it to Tan Yue, and said: "Mr. Tan, take a look, here are some of my views and summaries on the role of the emperor in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."

This script is not the complete script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but only has a simple story background, and then the content related to the emperor, so it is not as thick as the complete "The Legend of Zhen Huan" script, and the content is not as large.

Tan Yue took the script, opened it and read it.

Every page of the script is densely packed with analysis and speculation on the character's mind.

As expected of an old actor, he made sufficient preparations before acting.

Tan Yue read for more than ten minutes, picked out some important parts to focus on, and then closed the script and smiled at Jiao Cheng: "Teacher Jiao, you did a great job in the preliminary work."

Jiao Cheng smiled and said: "This is a necessary homework. This is how I teach my students in school. If I can't do it myself, how can I teach others?"

In addition to being a three-dimensional artist, Jiao Cheng is also a teacher in the acting class of Beijing Film Academy, and has been teaching for more than ten years. Many well-known actors in the entertainment industry are Jiao Cheng's students, which is also one of the reasons why Jiao Cheng has a relatively high level of qualifications.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "I feel relieved that Teacher Jiao will play the leading role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan."

Tan Yue continued, "Teacher Jiao, this time in the crew, in addition to being the screenwriter, I also serve as the assistant director of the crew. I want to learn how to direct a TV series well. You are experienced in this area. I will ask Teacher Jiao for more guidance when the time comes."

Jiao Cheng also has the identity of a director, but the works he directed did not produce very good results, and later he gradually let it go. However, every few years, Jiao Cheng will still direct a work, and his level is roughly the same as Lin Qingye.

Jiao Cheng was stunned when he heard that Tan Yue was still the assistant director in the crew. He thought about it in his mind and knew what Tan Yue was thinking. He wanted to get involved in the directing industry.

He couldn't help but sigh at Tan Yue's energy. He asked himself that he was already a relatively comprehensive person, but Tan Yue was much more comprehensive than himself. Although many actors have a dream of being a director, it is not easy to be a director.

Looking at Tan Yue, Jiao Cheng nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Tan, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. The directing industry also requires talent. Your talent should be fine. As long as you are willing to work hard and stay calm, shoot a few more dramas to test the waters and practice, you will definitely be able to achieve results, definitely better than me, haha."

"Hahaha, okay." Tan Yue said with a smile.

The two then talked about some things about the upcoming crew, as well as Tan Yue's insights on "The Legend of Zhen Huan", to help Jiao Cheng solve some doubts.

The next day, Chang'an Building, Brilliant Entertainment Company.

In Tan Yue's office.

After finishing some work, Tan Yue picked up a book and started reading.

The name of the book is "How Directors Are Made".

Tan Yue bought this book online to learn how to be a good director.

This book was written by the world-renowned director Doug Black and is regarded as a classic by many directors around the world.

Tan Yue has also heard of the name of this book and bought it specifically to study.

Dong Dong Dong.

While Tan Yue was reading, there was a knock on the office door.

Tan Yue put down the book, looked up and said, "Come in."

After Tan Yue finished speaking, Qian Tao, who was dark and thin, walked in from outside the office. When he saw Tan Yue, Qian Tao immediately smiled flatteringly, "Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue smiled and nodded, pointed to the chair opposite his desk, and said, "Sit down."

Qian Tao nodded quickly and sat opposite Tan Yue.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, what can I do?"

Qian Tao quickly handed a document he had just printed out to Tan Yue's desk and said: "Mr. Tan, this is some information about "The Legend of Zhen Huan". I have arranged it neatly. It contains information about each actor and If you have any questions about the budget of the film crew's project fund and the arrangements for the team members in the film crew, tell me. If there are no problems, I will follow this. "

"Okay, let me take a look first."

Tan Yue picked up the document, opened it and looked at it.

It must have been printed just now, Tan Yue could still smell a faint fragrance of ink.

This document is not a small project. Tan Yue gently squeezed the thickness and estimated that it should have twenty or thirty pages.

Although Qian Tao seems unreliable, he can still be trusted when he does things.

Tan Yue looked at it and found that, as Qian Tao said, everything had been arranged in order according to the nature of the content and seemed to be very orderly.

"Mr. Qian, if you have something to do over there, you can go and do it first. If there is nothing urgent, you can wait for me here." Tan Yue said.

Hearing this, Qian Tao quickly said: "Mr. Tan, I have taken care of everything over there. Take your time, I'll wait here."

Tan Yue smiled and continued reading.

Although there is a lot of content in the document, it is not necessary to read it all. Most of the content can only be glanced at, and there are not many places that really need to be looked at carefully.

It's not because it's not important, but Qian Tao arranged it very well, such as the budget, and thought of all aspects.

After more than twenty minutes, Tan Yue finished reading the document.

"Very good, basically no problems," Tan Yue said, "There are only a few minor flaws."

When Qian Tao heard the first half of Tan Yue's sentence, he was happy at first, and then his face froze when he heard the last sentence, but soon returned to normal. He looked at Tan Yue and said, "Mr. Tan, please tell me the flaws. , I’ll change it when I get back.”

Tan Yue nodded with a smile, opened the document and laid it flat on his desk. He pointed at the few minor problems he had just found and explained them to Qian Tao.

Qian Tao nodded every time Tan Yue said a few words and listened very carefully, and he was not perfunctory. After Tan Yue pointed out the problem, he could quickly provide a solution.

"Haha, just follow these solutions from Mr. Qian, organize this document and give it to me, and there should be no problem." Tan Yue said to Qian Tao.

Qian Tao nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Tan."

After explaining Qian Tao, he let him leave.

Watching Qian Tao leave, Tan Yue thought to himself, "He is also a talent."

In the next few days, Bright Entertainment Company began to operate with the TV series department as its core.

Began providing support and logistical support to the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

News of Tan Yue's new drama also spread online, attracting the attention of many netizens.

"Teacher Tan Yue's new drama is out?"

"Yes, I saw the report. It's called "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and it's a palace battle drama."

"Damn it, the script written by Teacher Tan Yue this time is "Gongdou Drama". He is really awesome. The styles of each drama are so different."

"Yes, some people only make dramas in genres they are familiar with. Teacher Tan Yue has changed three genres in three dramas. I don't know if his new drama can reach the level of the previous two dramas."

"It's hard to say. After all, the ratings of "Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station" are too high, but I feel that the ratings of this new drama will not be bad."

"Palace fighting drama? I'm not very interested."

"There are many palace-fighting dramas nowadays, and I don't reject them, but brainless palace-fighting dramas are boring. I like palace-fighting dramas that are really Machiavellian."

""The Legend of Zhen Huan"? This is a drama with a female lead? Is the heroine called Zhen Huan?"

January 7th.

Capital city, suburbs, film and television base.

Zhang Wu is an extra. After getting up in the morning, he and his friend Li Biao, who is also an extra, came to the film and television base, waiting for work.

Two people squatted on the edge, chewing betel nuts in their mouths.

Some film crews are quite strict even when choosing supporting roles, and may refuse them if they smell the smell of smoke. Therefore, when looking for work, Zhang Wu and Li Biao did not smoke, but just chewed betel nuts.

Zhang Wu raised his head and glanced not far away, where people were busy preparing to hold a power-on ceremony.

"Which production company is that? When did it come? Why didn't you hear about it?" Zhang Wu said.

Li Biao spit out the betel nut in his mouth, glanced over there, and then said: "Lao Wu, your news is delayed too much, and the crew doesn't even know about it."

When Zhang Wu heard this, he became energetic and asked: "Which crew? Are you still alive?"

Li Biao rolled his eyes at Zhang Wu and said, "I guess everyone in our film and television base knows who that person is, except you."

"Don't show off, tell me quickly." Zhang Wu urged.

Li Biao said: "That's the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It's Tan Yue's new drama. Now the entire entertainment industry is paying attention to it."

Hearing Li Biao's words, Zhang Wu took a breath and said in shock: "What? Is this Tan Yue's new drama?"

Whether it is "Lotus Lantern" or "Underground Traffic Station", Tan Yue is neither the director nor the starring role, but as we all know, he plays the role of the backbone of the crew, so many people talk about "Lotus Lantern", "Underground Traffic Station" is said to be Tan Yue's drama.

Of course, in fact, these are indeed Tan Yue's dramas.

With the popularity of "Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station", Tan Yue's reputation in the TV drama circle has become more and more famous.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Wu was quite surprised when he heard that this drama was Tan Yue's new drama.

Looking at the busy new crew in the distance, Zhang Wu murmured: "I wonder if I will have the opportunity to show my face in this drama. If it really happens, maybe I can also rise to prominence."

There have always been many rumors in the film and television base. For example, a popular star at the moment was born as a small role in a group, but he seized the opportunity, soared to the sky, married a school beauty, and was worth billions. How many people envied this.

Li Biao snorted lightly and said: "Old Five, I don't know how many well-known actors want to show their faces in this kind of crew, let's forget about it."

Zhang Wu also sighed after listening to Li Biao's words.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" crew.

The opening ceremony was very prosperous. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tan Yue, Lin Qingye, Jiao Cheng, Xin Zhi and other main creative staff of the crew took the lead in inserting incense into the incense burner.

Some staff lit firecrackers in the distance, and the crackling sound of firecrackers exploded around the crew.

A little further away, there were some reporters who heard the news and took photos to record this moment.

After the opening ceremony, Tan Yue and Lin Qingye began to arrange various departments for preparation.

Tan Yue served as deputy director to learn about directing. When he was filming "Baolian Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station", he could ignore many things, but now he has to follow Lin Qingye to arrange various places in the crew.

Some people call directors "tyrants on the set". Tan Yue didn't understand the reason before, but now he is a director himself, and he slowly feels that there are too many things.

Sometimes some trivial things can make people's scalps numb.

No matter how good-tempered a person is, there will probably be times when he can't stand it.

No matter how big or small, the director has to decide, and the most troublesome part is the props group.

Because the placement of props is directly the background of the play and the scene of the TV series.

If the props are not set well, it is easy for the audience to feel out of the play when watching.

In the morning, everyone was mainly preparing. The props team built the scene for the first scene. The official shooting would not start until the afternoon.

They were busy until noon, when Tan Yue and Lin Qingye finally arranged all these things.

Tan Yue returned to the tent, his mouth dry, and he unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and drank it down.

What I read in the book before was theory, and now this is practice.
