Chapter 714 Selecting Actors

Ye Wen created a group.

There were only three people in the group, one was Tan Yue, one was Ye Wen, and the other was a big leader.

Tan Yue sat behind his desk, staring at the big leader's WeChat avatar in a daze.

This was a blue sky background with an eagle spreading its wings and soaring.

"Is this really the big leader?" Tan Yue whispered to himself.

Although he asked himself this, Tan Yue did not doubt it, because this was what Ye Wen, the director of the General Administration of Culture, told him.

In his previous life, Tan Yue was far from qualified to contact such a big boss, and could only sit in front of the TV and watch.

In this life, after years of hard work, he has already contacted such a big leader.

Ding Dong.

With a light sound, the phone vibrated.

Tan Yue looked down and saw that there was a message in the group.

"It's a message from the big leader." Tan Yue saw it.

The big leader said: "Mr. Tan Yue, hello."

Tan Yue responded quickly.

Ye Wen also came out to say a few words and introduced the situation of "The Wreath Under the Mountain".

What made Tan Yue feel at ease was that the big boss did not interfere too much in how to shoot "The Wreath Under the Mountain".

This was also what Tan Yue had worried about before. Although the big boss was outstanding in ability, he was specialized in his field after all. He could lead thousands of troops, but he might not be able to make a good movie.

So when he heard that the big boss completely delegated power and did not interfere in the filming of the movie, Tan Yue admired the big boss more and more in his heart.

The big boss was very busy, and after chatting for a while, the group became quiet.

Then Ye Wen called to tell Tan Yue some information and told him that "The Wreath Under the Mountain" could be arranged for the project.

This matter was related to the army, and Ye Wen did not dare to be careless, and needed to give Tan Yue more instructions.

In the next two days, Tan Yue sorted out the script of "The Wreath Under the Mountain".

After writing it before, in order to make it easy for Director Ye and the big boss to see the story line clearly, Tan Yue did not make the script into the final shot script.

Now that Director Ye and the top leaders have approved it, Tan Yue no longer stopped and directly made the script into a storyboard script.

While sorting out the script, Tan Yue was also considering the selection of actors.

Up to now, Brilliant Entertainment has signed hundreds of artists of all types.

However, Tan Yue thinks about two main factors when considering actors, one is acting skills, and the other is the fit with the role.

Among these two factors, the first acting skills is more important, because if the acting skills are strong, many classic roles can be created.

The second is the fit with the role in the movie. If there is a high degree of fit with the role in the movie, then when interpreting the role, it can be twice the result with half the effort.

The first actor Tan Yue decided on was Zhang Wenhua, who was asked to play Zhao Mengsheng, one of the protagonists in the movie.

Zhang Wenhua was born as a traffic singer, and later gradually developed in the direction of singing and dancing. During this period, he also tried to cross over to become an actor. Now, after years of hard work, Zhang Wenhua is no longer a vase actor, but a real artist with real strength.

In the movie, Zhao Mengsheng was born in the upper class, with fair skin, a typical gilded young man, dancing at balls, eating chocolate, and smoking Zhonghua cigarettes. Such a role is just right for Zhang Wenhua to play.

Tan Yue thinks that Zhang Wenhua can play the role of Zhao Mengsheng well, but in the end, he still needs to audition, and only through the audition can he be determined.

"Zhang Wenhua."

Tan Yue typed Zhang Wenhua's name in the newly created document on the computer.

After Zhang Wenhua, Tan Yue decided on the role of the wife of Jin Kailai, the platoon leader of the artillery platoon in the play. Jin Kailai's wife didn't appear in many scenes, but she was very important. After repeated consideration, Tan Yue thought that Zhen Ling could try to play the role of Jin Kailai's wife.

Zhen Ling was born as a drama actor, and there was no problem with her acting skills. In recent years, Zhen Ling has been a frequent guest of the hit variety show "Happy Comedians", and has a great reputation and influence among the audience.

Tan Yue nodded. He was still very satisfied with Zhen Ling's acting skills and image. It was very appropriate for Zhen Ling to play Yang Gaihua.

"But I still have to audition." Tan Yue thought.

He has his own persistence, everything is for the quality of the film, because impressions can also be deceptive. Maybe he thinks that a certain actor is suitable to play a certain role, but in fact there may not be deviations.

Tan Yue's favorite role in the movie "The Wreath under the Mountain" is the company commander Liang Sanxi, so Tan Yue spent the longest time considering which actor to play the role of Liang Sanxi.

However, after thinking about it, Tan Yue decided to let Ma Guoliang try first.

Because the most important thing about the role of Liang Sanxi is the righteousness, the appearance cannot be too high. If the appearance is too high, it will make the audience pay more attention to the actor's face instead of the role itself, which is not good.

Among the contracted actors of Brilliant Entertainment, there are many people with skilled acting skills, and there are many excellent actors who can play Liang Sanxi, but most of the actors have very good looks. In this comparison, Ma Guoliang is more suitable.

Ma Guoliang's appearance is not that outstanding, which will not attract the audience's attention to his face. Moreover, Ma Guoliang's acting skills are also great. He is not the most talented, and in fact Ma Guoliang's acting talent can only be said to be average, but he is a drama fanatic, the kind of drama fanatic who is willing to give his life for filming.

After years of hard work day and night, Ma Guoliang's acting skills have surpassed most first-line actors, and there is no problem in playing Liang Sanxi.

However, Tan Yue only planned to let Ma Guoliang try out the role first. If this guy is not good, then change someone else. But Tan Yue also thinks that Ma Guoliang is very stable. As long as you give him the role, he will be able to perform well.

After deciding that Ma Guoliang will play Liang Sanxi, Tan Yue considered who will play Sanxi's wife Han Yuxiu. Finally, Tan Yue thought that Xin Zhi could give it a try.

Jiao Cheng can give Jiao Cheng a try as the chief in the movie. Jiao Cheng is old and upright, and his image is just right for this role.

Just like shooting TV series before, Tan Yue only considered the problems of these main actors. Tan Yue directly handed over the actors with fewer roles to the people below.

Normally, the filming is a movie, and these things should be handed over to Zheng Tong, the director of the film department, and Zheng Tong has always performed well, but this matter is more important, it is a movie shot with the army, and there can be no mistakes. In order to better ensure the quality of the film, Tan Yue handed over the selection of the rest of the actors to Zheng Tong and Qian Tao.

Tan Yue has worked with Qian Tao for a long time, and he is more confident in Qian Tao's ability.

Moreover, after filming several TV series, with the support of the big tree of Brilliant Entertainment Company, Qian Tao has also established a good network of contacts in the entire entertainment industry.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The matters of a group of actors have also been determined.

Ma Guoliang plays Liang Sanxi.

Zhang Wenhua plays Zhao Mengsheng.

Xin Zhi plays Han Yuxiu.

In a blink of an eye, time has come to late August.

August 21, morning.

Tiannan Province, a mountainous area.

This is the filming location of the crew of "The Wreath under the Mountain".

This time, there was no grand opening ceremony, but the filming began quietly.

The weather was hot, and Tan Yue was wearing a white sleeveless shirt, directing the crew to set up props.

Because of the nature of the film, as long as you stand under the spotlight, there will definitely be a large number of reporters flocking to you. It's too ostentatious and high-profile, which Tan Yue doesn't like. What he wants most now is to make this movie well.

After Tan Yue built all the scene themes, he handed over the remaining places to the assistant directors, and he went to the shed on the other side to talk to the actors.

Before the crew was established, Tan Yue told everyone that this time, filming the movie would inevitably be a lot of hardship.

Most of the film and television dramas directed by Tan Yue in the past were shot at the film and television base, and his daily life was worry-free. Even when filming "Wolf Warrior 2", it was shot on the seaside of a famous big city in Africa.

But this time, in order to shoot the realism of the army, Tan Yue directly chose the shooting location deep in the mountains of Tiannan Province.

This place can be described as uninhabited. The power supply is limited, and all the power is used for the crew's filming. Not much power support will be given to personal life.

For example, if you want to see the air conditioner, then go to sleep and dream. There is everything in the dream.

Tan Yue fanned himself with a big cattail leaf fan every day, and it was even more impossible for other people to use electricity.

"Are you all used to it?" Tan Yue asked.

"Yes."

"The environment here is very good, I like it very much."

The actors answered.

Ma Guoliang did not speak, he lowered his head and pondered the script.

Tan Yue smiled and admired Ma Guoliang's focused attitude. He was mediocre in acting. The most important factor for his good performance today was his own hard work.

Tan Yue looked at Zhang Wenhua again. Although Zhang Wenhua had changed a lot in the past few years, in the impression of many people, Zhang Wenhua was still the kind of vase-like young meat.

There were also staff members in the crew who had this idea. Tan Yue had heard people discussing who was most likely to fail in the crew, and many people said it was Zhang Wenhua.

But in Tan Yue's opinion, although Zhang Wenhua also looked like he had suffered, his overall spirit was still very high.

"Okay, everyone should adapt. At least the air here is much better than in the city, and the environment deep in the mountains is not something you can see at ordinary times. Just look at the mountains when you are bored." Tan Yue said with a smile.

Everyone smiled.

In fact, Tan Yue was a little overthinking. Even though the environment here is very difficult, no one has thought of escaping.

One reason is because of Tan Yue. Now Tan Yue's film and television roles are really hard to get. I don't know how many people want a role but can't get it. If someone wants to quit, a large number of people will want to change with money, and the actors are all old actors, and they have suffered a lot.

Another reason is because of the army stationed around.

Good guy, you can see from this scene that this filming must be not simple.

There are so many crews shooting movies in the entertainment industry, and I have never seen any crew get this treatment, being stationed and protected by a troop.

Many people can't help but think of a rumor in the circle some time ago, saying that the army wants to shoot a military-themed movie, and many people are guessing who will get this good thing.

Now that Tan Yue suddenly started filming in a low-key manner, everyone knew that the person chosen by the military leaders should be Tan Yue.

This matter could not be hidden, and it would definitely spread in the entertainment industry after a while.

Just when everyone was taking a break, a staff member came over to inform everyone to get ready, and filming was about to begin.

All departments began to prepare.

The actors who had roles in this scene came to the scene.

Eight cameras started shooting at the same time.

With the call of the stage supervisor, the shooting of the first scene of "The Wreath under the Mountain" began.

Tan Yue stood outside the camera with a microphone in his hand, watching the shooting on the scene seriously.

This scene was shot about the daily life of the 9th Company.

The soldiers were resting on the playground, and a group of people were competing to stand upside down.

One of them was physically strong and lasted the longest.

Beside him, the supporting actors cheered loudly.

"Come on, come on!"

"Great!"

"Come on, platoon leader!"

"Come on, hold on, hold on!"

In the end, the other soldiers couldn't hold on, and only the platoon leader Jin Kailai held on to the end.

Platoon leader Jin Kailai saw that there were no opponents around, laughed, stood up, and then a group of people around him came up to congratulate him.

Jin Kailai took a cucumber from his comrade, broke it in half, and threw it to the comrade next to him. Hearing the voices around him congratulating him on winning the championship, he laughed and said, "No, I'm happy."

After that, Jin Kailai looked at his comrades around him, clenched his fists, and the biceps on his arms showed, saying, "I have strength but nowhere to use it."

"Click."

As soon as Jin Kailai finished speaking, Tan Yue outside the camera called a stop. He held a microphone in his hand and said to Wang Wu, the actor who played Jin Kailai, "Teacher Wang, when you say this, sigh and increase your tone. Alas! I have strength but nowhere to use it."

Wang Wu is also an old actor in the circle. His contract with his old boss expired last year and he switched to Brilliant Entertainment Company.

After several auditions, Tan Yue finally let Wang Wu play Jin Kailai.

Wang Wu was very attentive. Tan Yue told him at the beginning that this role required muscles and a strong body, and then Wang Wu started training.

In just two weeks, Wang Wu developed a lot of muscles, including his strong biceps. Of course, the reason why he developed muscles so quickly was also related to his regular exercise.

Tan Yue reminded him, and then he started filming again.

It was not shot from the beginning, it was not a one-shot shot, there was no need to reshoot the handstand competition on the playground, just start filming from Jin Kailai eating cucumbers.

Wang Wu is indeed an old actor, and after Tan Yue's reminder, there were no more problems, and this scene was filmed like this.
