Chapter 626 Crew Preparation
The next day, morning.
Zhang Shengli came to Brilliant Entertainment Company with a nervous and excited mood.
Looking at the office building of Brilliant Entertainment, he couldn't help but get excited. The third entertainment company in the country that can own a stand-alone office building is right in front of him, and he will be one of them in a while.
Under the guidance of the staff, he came to Tan Yue's office.
Tan Yue stood up to greet him: "Hello, Teacher Zhang."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhang Shengli couldn't help but think of his youth. He was also at the peak of his acting career at the age of Tan Yue.
The difference is that he quickly started to go downhill back then, while Tan Yue in front of him was like the rising sun, and his first movie was just on the agenda.
Zhang Shengli shook Tan Yue's outstretched hand: "Hello, Mr. Tan, I have heard of you for a long time."
The two came to the sofa at the coffee table and sat down, waiting for Chen Ye to pour tea and close the door and go out.
Tan Yue asked, "Teacher Zhang, you and Huaguang Entertainment."
Zhang Shengli naturally understood what Tan Yue meant, and took out the termination contract signed with Huaguang Entertainment from his bag, saying, "It has been signed, but it will not take effect until the liquidated damages are paid."
Tan Yue took a rough look and called Chen Ye back: "Xiao Ye, you give this contract to Mr. Wang, he knows how to deal with it, and you go and prepare another artist contract and bring it over."
Looking at Tan Yue's vigorous actions, Zhang Shengli understood why Brilliant Entertainment Company could become a first-class entertainment company in the current entertainment industry where competition is so fierce.
He had heard before that Brilliant Entertainment had developed to its current scale under the leadership of Tan Yue.
I had doubts before, how could a young man have such great energy?
Today, seeing Tan Yue's style of doing things, and thinking about the rumors on the Internet that he was talented, I understood a little bit.
Tan Yue asked: "Teacher Zhang, have you read the script?"
"Yes, Mr. Wang sent it to me."
Speaking of the script, Zhang Shengli seemed very excited, and his opinion was different from Wang Yang.
He stayed up late last night to read the entire script, which gave him a more passionate feeling than "Arms 1".
"Arms 1" focuses on the battle scenes, "Wolf Warrior 2" not only has wonderful battle scenes, but also highlights the importance of a strong country.
"What kind of image do you think Leng Feng is?"
Zhang Shengli said his understanding without any thought: "A very typical image of a Chinese soldier, passionate, patriotic, and has a strong sense of responsibility. He is a hero full of tenderness and morality. On the way to finding his lover, he was accidentally involved in the war. As a former soldier, he has never forgotten his responsibilities and obligations."
Tan Yue nodded. He didn't expect Zhang Shengli to have such a deep understanding of the protagonist in such a short time.
"Teacher Zhang, you have a very thorough analysis of the characters. Let's try a scene. You can pick any clip from it."
"No problem."
Zhang Shengli was very excited at this moment. He hadn't acted in a scene for half a year. He took a deep breath to adjust his state.
Tan Yue, who was sitting next to him, also looked forward to it.
The venue was limited, so he chose two clips. One was in the cave. Leng Feng's consciousness became confused due to injury and he recalled his life with Long Xiaoyun.
Zhang Shengli lay on the sofa, his body trembling constantly, and his facial expression kept changing.
If an outsider came in and saw this picture, he would really think that Zhang Shengli was sick.
The other clip was where Zhang Shengli felt the most passionate. Leng Feng had the national flag on his arm and looked forward with a firm look.
Tan Yue couldn't help but nod slightly and was very satisfied with Zhang Shengli's acting skills.
The non-physical performance is the best way to verify an actor's acting skills.
After watching Zhang Shengli's performance, Tan Yue was more certain that he was the most suitable person to play Leng Feng.
Zhang Shengli sat on the sofa, panting lightly, looking at Tan Yue and asked, "Mr. Tan, what do you think?"
Tan Yue smiled and said, "Very good! After watching your performance, I think we can start filming now."
Zhang Shengli smiled, and his heart was even more excited.
What the world lacks is not the Thousand-Li Horse, but the Bole who discovers the Thousand-Li Horse.
Zhang Shengli felt that Tan Yue in front of him was his Bole, and his acting skills finally got the recognition of others. He hadn't heard others praise his acting skills so much for a long time.
Zhang Shengli couldn't help but excitedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Tan, I will definitely not let you down, and I will definitely seize this opportunity you give me..."
After a while, Zhang Shengli signed his name on the contract with trembling fingers, and officially became a contracted artist of Brilliant Entertainment Company.
Afterwards, Chen Ye took Zhang Shengli to the artist management department.
After the selection of the male lead was determined, Tan Yue also began to look for several other important roles.
Tan Yue took the lead in calling Xin Zhi, wanting to invite her to play the female role of Richael.
In the play, Richael is a doctor aiding Africa. He is calm and composed, with superb medical skills, and he is of great help to the male protagonist Leng Feng.
As an actress, Xin Zhi pays great attention to her figure. In the gym, Xin Zhi wears headphones and exercises on the treadmill.
She has a high ponytail and wears a set of casual clothes.
The song in the headphones was interrupted by the ringing. Seeing that it was a call from Tan Yue, she turned off the treadmill directly, adjusted her breathing, and answered the phone: "Mr. Tan."
Tan Yue asked directly: "Have you taken any new dramas recently?"
Xin Zhi: "There are quite a few scripts, but there is no suitable one for now."
Since Xin Zhi won the Outstanding Actress Award at the Feitian Awards, she has received many invitations from directors.
But after experiencing several TV series starring Tan Yue, Xin Zhi always feels that other scripts are not good enough, and she doesn't want to accept them for the time being.
Tan Yue said: "Well, I want to make a movie, you come to be the heroine."
Xin Zhi heard Tan Yue's invitation without any hesitation and said happily: "Okay, no problem."
As long as it is Tan Yue's work, Xin Zhi feels that she will agree directly, because she knows Tan Yue's strength, has a kind of brilliant entertainment-style worship, and believes in Tan Yue's ability as a screenwriter and director.
Xin Zhi, who hung up the phone, suddenly reacted and exclaimed, "Mr. Tan is going to make a movie?!"
This gym was opened by a friend of Xin Zhi. Whenever she comes to work out, she will not receive other customers.
Xin Zhi has only appeared in two movies so far, both of which are small cameo roles. She still wants to develop in the film industry.
But the resources she usually contacts are still in TV dramas, and there are very few resources for movies.
Now that Tan Yue invited her to play the leading role in the movie, Xin Zhi couldn't help but look forward to it.
After receiving the script sent by Tan Yue, Xin Zhi stopped exercising and concentrated on studying the script.
She is very strict with every drama, and the script will obviously be much thicker after passing through her hands.
Xin Zhi will mark a lot of things on it, so that she can enter the inner world of the character and better interpret the role.
On the other side, Tan Yue then called Jiao Cheng: "Hello, Teacher Jiao, what are you busy with recently?"
Jiao Cheng said happily: "Isn't it about to record the fourth season of "Longing for Life"? I'll practice my cooking skills before I start."
Tan Yue said: "Are you interested in playing a cameo role in my movie?"
Tan Yue plans to let Jiao Cheng play Qian Bi Da. This character doesn't have many scenes, and Jiao Cheng can take some time to come and shoot.
Qian Bi Da is the image of a profiteer, but he revealed the clues of the bullet he was looking for to Leng Feng.
Jiao Cheng said in surprise: "Mr. Tan, you are going to make a movie."
Jiao Cheng knew that making a movie was what every director wanted to do most, but he didn't expect Tan Yue to get involved in movies so soon.
Tan Yue smiled and said: "I have an idea, so I plan to make it into a movie to give it a try."
Jiao Cheng thought about the schedule and said: "Since it is your first show in the film industry, Mr. Tan, I must help you with this."
Being able to win the Outstanding Actor Award at the Feitian Awards is inseparable from Tan Yue, and he also wants to know whether Tan Yue can achieve the same results in the film industry as he has in TV dramas now.
There are many cases of TV drama directors switching to making movies, and it is not easy to cross over.
"Well, I will send you the script, and I will give you time when the filming starts."
The script that Tan Yue sent to Jiao Cheng only had a clip of Qian Bi Da, and the content was very little.
After seeing the script, Jiao Cheng's pupils dilated a little, and he said to himself: "Mr. Tan's first movie is actually a military-themed movie, which really surprised me."
Tan Yue continued to call Zhang Wenhua.
This time, the agent interrupted Zhang Wenhua's dance practice and whispered, "It's Mr. Tan's call."
Zhang Wenhua's eyes lit up, and he didn't even wipe the sweat off his face. He took the call and said, "Mr. Tan, what are your plans?"
Tan Yue: "Wenhua, I will make a movie in a while, and you can come and play a role."
Zhang Wenhua agreed without asking anything, "Okay, Mr. Tan, no problem."
Not only because of Mr. Tan's work arrangement for him, Zhang Wenhua felt that he could learn a lot from working with Mr. Tan.
After the broadcast of "The Beginning", fans on Weibo said that Zhang Wenhua's acting skills were growing at a visible speed.
The role that Tan Yue gave Zhang Wenhua was Zhuo Yifan.
Zhuo Yifan is a rich second-generation who has a factory abroad and is also a military fan.
In the play, he is also a growing character. He likes military affairs but is mostly a paper-talking kid. After the factory was attacked, he fought with two veterans.
After experiencing the baptism of war, Zhuo Yifan also completed the transformation from a boy to a man.
Tan Yue hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
Most of the important roles in "Wolf Warrior 2" have been basically finalized now, and another important role is the villain "Dad".
Because he is a foreigner, Tan Yue plans to let Wang Yang find him.
After all, he doesn't know many foreign actors yet.
For some other roles, Wang Yang will provide a list of suitable actors, and Tan Yue will make the final decision.
As for other minor roles, it is entirely up to Wang Yang to decide. Tan Yue's only requirement is that the acting skills must be good.
Wang Yang has been busy these days.
According to Tan Yue's requirements, he contacts major domestic entertainment companies every day, and also contacts foreign actors.
Relying on the current status of Brilliant Entertainment in the entertainment industry and Tan Yue's fame, he contacts some actors, and most of them agree directly.
Actors in TV dramas in the entertainment industry are eager to work with Tan Yue once.
Now that Tan Yue has won so many awards in the Feitian Awards, even if it is Tan Yue's first movie, they are very active.
...
After a week of hard work by Wang Yang, all the actors of "Wolf Warrior 2" have finally gathered.
Wang Yang knocked on the door of Tan Yue's office excitedly.
"Come in."
"Mr. Tan, this is the list of all the actors in Wolf Warriors 2. Please take a look." He handed the list to Tan Yue.
Tan Yue looked at it and said, "Have the schedules of these people been confirmed?"
"There is no problem with the schedules. We have confirmed them several times."
After reading the list, Tan Yue nodded with satisfaction.
In particular, the actor who plays the role of "Dad" is an American actor named Bertha Stanford. In American works, she is also mostly a villain, a typical representative of villain roles.
Wang Yang was quite surprised that he could find this person to play the role in the play. It seems that he really put a lot of effort in it this time.
In order to invite this actor, Wang Yang can be said to have put a lot of effort, and he even lost a lot of hair on his head for this.
Wang Yang's ability at work is still good. This time he perfectly completed the first task assigned to him by Tan Yue.
After leaving the office, Wang Yang felt that he was already walking a little bit.
He finally didn't have to live a life of fear like before. Being recognized by Tan Yue meant that he had been recognized by the company now.
Not long after Wang Yang left, Engineer Wu was called over.
Although the news of Tan Yue's filming had not spread yet, the company's senior management had basically known about it.
They had always been very confident in Tan Yue and strongly supported it.
In fact, the company's senior management also hoped that Tan Yue could try to transform and direct a few movies. After all, the shortcomings of Brilliant Entertainment in this aspect were too obvious.
As for movies, they were really powerless before. They gave money and people, but they just couldn't see the effect.
Engineer Wu also knew something about the new movie, and he had some guesses about Tan Yue's purpose for asking him to come.
"Mr. Tan." Engineer Wu sat opposite Tan Yue and said.
Tan Yue introduced the relevant situation of "Wolf Warrior 2" to Engineer Wu, and then said to Engineer Wu, "Mr. Wu, please release some news about "Wolf Warrior 2" on the Internet first to lay the groundwork. After the crew is established, start the official promotion."
Engineer Wu understood what Tan Yue meant, and after going out, he quickly arranged people and started the preparatory warm-up for "Wolf Warrior 2".
Although there is a trend of some military themes in the film industry, there is no popular movie except "Arms 1".
Everyone also realizes that movies of this theme are not mainstream movies in the market, and its popularity has begun to decline slowly.
"Wolf Warrior 2" appeared at this time, and the groundwork is still necessary.
