Chapter 735 Zhou Can's Tension
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Tan Yue drove away from the Brilliant Entertainment Company.
Today is the day when the General Administration of Culture holds a symposium. Ye Wen had invited him before, and Tan Yue went to attend the meeting in person this time.
Those attending the meeting are all people in the entertainment industry, and the meeting is chaired by Director Ye Wen.
As for the content of the meeting, it is mainly about making suggestions on the future development direction of various aspects of entertainment such as movies and TV series.
Sitting in the car, Tan Yue couldn't help but feel a headache when looking at the vehicles coming and going.
Going to work at the company, he would arrive at the company very early in advance to avoid the rush hour. Now going to the meeting, traffic jams are inevitable.
Following the traffic flow, moving little by little, Tan Yue immediately turned on the car radio.
When stuck in traffic, only a piece of music or listening to the radio can relax the irritable mood.
Finally, a familiar building appeared in sight.
After parking the car, Tan Yue entered the interior of the General Administration of Culture building with ease.
"Look, look! Isn't this Teacher Tan Yue?!"
"Calm down, Teacher Tan Yue has been here many times before, I have seen her several times."
"I have been here for such a long time, why haven't I seen Teacher Tan?"
"I guess you don't have this luck, haha."
The two people are staff members of the General Administration of Culture, and today they are responsible for guiding the entertainment industry people who came to the meeting.
Not only were they excited, but under the guidance of the staff, many staff members of the General Administration of Culture showed excited expressions after seeing Tan Yue along the way.
Tan Yue already has many fans, and now there is an extremely shining halo blessing - the box office record holder in the history of Chinese films.
Many people greeted Tan Yue, and Tan Yue would respond with a smile.
Today, Ye Wen specifically asked Tan Yue to meet him first after arriving.
Tan Yue was taken directly to Ye Wen's office by the staff.
"Director Ye, long time no see." Tan Yue greeted.
Ye Wen smiled and said, "Long time no see, congratulations to you, Director Tan! You have made another movie that countless directors envy."
Who would have believed that the box office record of movies and TV shows that had not been touched for more than ten years would be broken by the young man in front of him.
For this young man, she was shocked again and again.
Tan Yue was calm and chuckled, "Lucky, it's just that the audience likes it."
Ye Wen also guessed that Tan Yue's mentality would change after such a great success. Seeing that Tan Yue was still the same as before, her uneasy heart was relieved.
If she were to say who she thought could carry the banner of Chinese entertainment now, it must be Tan Yue.
Ye Wen didn't want such a potential person to be overwhelmed by honor and interests, and said, "Only when the movie is good and of high quality will it be liked by the audience."
What she worried about did not happen. The two of them exchanged greetings for a while and went to the meeting room together.
When the two arrived at the meeting, the meeting room was already full of people, and they were all present.
A rectangular meeting table, Tan Yue sat down next to Ye Wen.
From the position he sat today, we can see Tan Yue's current status in the entertainment industry.
Ye Wen briefly introduced the current plan. During the free discussion, someone asked Tan Yue to share his successful experience.
Tan Yue nodded to Ye Wen, and Ye Wen said, "Well, everyone welcomes Teacher Tan Yue to share with everyone."
Warm applause rang out in the conference room. If it was in the past, some people in the conference room might not be convinced, after all, Tan Yue had only made a few movies.
But now it is different. The highest box office record is not something that everyone can touch.
"Thank you all for looking up to me, a newcomer with some achievements."
Laughter came from the conference room, and Tan Yue continued, "I think everyone may want to ask how to make a movie like "The Wreath under the Mountain"? "
Everyone nodded, and some even took out a pen to take notes.
"To be honest, I don't have any confidence in making another movie with such a high box office." Tan Yue continued, "What kind of box office will the work get in the end? No one will know until the results come out."
"All we can do is make a good movie.
"I pay more attention to two aspects, one is the script, and the other is the actors. "
Tan Yue briefly talked about his own understanding of the two aspects.
The content is very simple, even the audience who have never made a movie knows it, not to mention that the people sitting here are all professionals in the entertainment industry.
Everyone understands the truth, but I don’t know how many people can really do it.
Tan Yue has never been the kind of person who talks a lot. After that, he simply answered a few people’s questions and sat back in his seat.
The meeting lasted for an hour and a half.
Ye Wen raised her wrist to look at the time. After listening to everyone’s discussion, she said: "Today’s meeting was very successful. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the meeting. Today, I will not delay everyone’s time. The meeting ends here. If there are any questions, we can discuss them privately. "
After the applause in the meeting room ended, everyone began to leave.
The people who left said hello to Ye Wen and left on their own.
There were still a few people sitting in their seats, waiting for others to leave.
Ye Wen knew that these people were waiting for her to discuss something, so she was not in a hurry to leave.
Naturally, Tan Yue would not stay in this place any longer. Ye Wen probably knew that someone would come to see her after the meeting, so she asked Tan Yue to meet her after he arrived.
"Director Ye, I'll go back first."
Seeing Ye Wen nod, Tan Yue stood up and left.
After leaving the building of the General Administration of Culture, Tan Yue drove back to the company.
Although it is not rush hour, there are not many vehicles on the road at this time.
The traffic volume in Beijing has never been less.
Along the way, Tan Yue did not play the radio or listen to music. He was thinking about the plot of "The King of Comedy".
During this period of time, he has almost recalled the plot of "The King of Comedy".
The next step is to continuously improve the script.
The building of the General Administration of Culture is not too far from the Brilliant Entertainment Company, and Tan Yue soon returned to the company.
The next plan is very clear. In addition to the major events that Tan Yue participated in, almost all of his time was devoted to writing the script of "The King of Comedy".
In a week, the script of "The King of Comedy" was written.
Brilliant Entertainment Company.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Tan Yue was looking through the script of "The King of Comedy" that he had just printed out.
After a week of thinking and writing, the script was finally written.
The expression on Tan Yue's face seemed a little solemn. This kind of performance style of the movie has not appeared yet, and he didn't know whether the audience could accept it.
He liked it very much. In his previous life, he would watch it when he had nothing to do.
Although such a movie is very exaggerated, it has a deep ironic meaning.
Many people think that if you don't watch Stephen Chow's movies ten times, you won't understand what it is about.
Tan Yue suddenly showed a smile on his face. Since the beginning of filming, hasn't every movie been like this?
If you don't try it, who knows what the result will be?
Soon, Zheng Tong, director of the film department, was called to the office.
Zheng Tong also had a rough guess in his mind. It was probably about the new movie. Especially when he saw the script given to him by Tan Yue, the smile on his face could not be stopped.
Tan Yue said: "Director Zheng, this is the script of the new movie "The King of Comedy". It is now relatively complete. The screenwriters in your department should take a look at it and polish the bad parts."
"Okay, Mr. Tan." Zheng Tong hurried back to the film department after he finished speaking.
As for what type of movie it is, it is not important to Zheng Tong at all.
He only knows that the quality of any movie script given to him by Tan Yue will definitely not be bad.
Zheng Tong quickly summoned several important personnel and experienced screenwriters in the department, entered the conference room to polish the script, and told them not to disturb them unless there is something important.
He wants to complete the task assigned to him by Mr. Tan in the shortest time.
The script has been settled, and the next step is casting.
Everyone in the company knows that Tan Yue has always cast his own actors first, and no one intervenes in this matter.
The current protagonist is Zhou Can, who is also the only candidate for this role.
It can also be said that it was because Tan Yue saw Zhou Can's performance style that he decided to write the script of "The King of Comedy".
Zhou Can has been learning from Ma Guoliang for some time. Tan Yue knows that Zhou Can will definitely make progress based on his attitude, but he doesn't know what stage he has reached at present.
At the beginning, Tan Yue also privately told Ma Guoliang to teach Zhou Can more, and specifically stated that he must "keep and improve his current performance style."
It is a good thing to learn acting from old actors, but of course you can't lose yourself.
Tan Yue wrote down Zhou Can's name, and then the roles of others.
Most of the movies and TV series Liu Qian has played are the image of fairies and jade girls. This time, playing the image of a lady is also a way for her to broaden her acting range.
Liu Qian just said before that she wanted to play a different role.
Another female character, Du Juan'er, also has a heavy role. Tan Yue thinks that Xin Zhi is very suitable for her.
A very important supporting role in the movie-the undercover who sells food in the crew.
Tan Yue has temporarily booked Ma Guoliang, but Ma Guoliang's current status is different from the past. He is already a famous and influential first-line actor in the entertainment industry. It is not known whether Ma Guoliang will agree to let him play the supporting role for Zhou Can.
Tan Yue thought that Ma Guoliang should agree, but he could not force him. He had to talk to Ma Guoliang first to see his true intention.
Moreover, the next movie related to Zhou Can just needs a golden partner. The two can work together more and run in more.
After considering the actor, Tan Yue called Chen Ye: "Ask Zhou Can to come to my office. I have something to ask him."
Although this movie was designed for Zhou Can, such a role is still very challenging for the actor's acting skills.
Tan Yue is still a little worried.
"The King of Comedy" is not a simple comedy movie. The things it talks about are very close to reality and very profound.
He wants to take this opportunity to get to know Zhou Can's acting skills better, and more importantly, he wants to help Zhou Can talk about his own understanding of this movie.
Only when the actors truly understand the script can they better perform what Tan Yue needs.
After Chen Ye left, Tan Yue lay back in the boss chair, and scenes from "The King of Comedy" appeared in his mind.
Thinking of the role of the protagonist 'Yin Tianchou' in it, maybe Zhou Can will have an outstanding performance.
Zhou Can came to Tan Yue's office with a nervous mood.
Tan Yue brewed tea and said, "Sit down, A Can."
Zhou Can nodded, but every movement of his body revealed his nervousness, and then sat opposite Tan Yue a little unnaturally.
Tan Yue poured the tea and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, today I just want to see how your acting is doing recently?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Can felt that he could hear his own heartbeat. This scene was like when he was in school, he was chosen by the teacher to recite the text.
Zhou Can suppressed his nervousness: "Mr. Tan, I have been learning from Teacher Ma every day during this period."
He didn't know what level his acting skills were now. The blow to him from playing supporting roles in these years was really too great, so that he had no confidence.
"That's good, acting is a process of continuous training and learning." Tan Yue nodded and said: "You are not bad at learning, and the next step is to practice."
Zhou Can's eyes lit up, and the movie that Tan Yue prepared for him was finally out.
At the same time, a more nervous emotion surged in his heart. He was the protagonist of this movie. If he didn't perform well or the box office of the movie was not high, he would definitely become a "sinner".
But this was also an opportunity.
All the actors who had participated in Tan Yue's works are now very popular. Zhou Can was determined to seize this opportunity.
There were many people in the entertainment industry who wanted to participate in Mr. Tan's new movie, and he valued and cherished Tan Yue's attention to such a small actor.
Then Tan Yue roughly introduced Zhou Can's role to him.
Zhou Can listened and unconsciously put himself in his shoes. In the past few years, he had been playing a small role and shuttling between various small studios.
Before joining the Brilliant Entertainment Company, it was common to be scolded on the set, but as a small person, in order to survive, he had to face the abuse of others with a smile.
Zhou Can felt that Yin Tianchou was talking about his own life.
Tan Yue picked up the cup and sipped the tea and said: "You will get the script in a few days. Understand it yourself first. If you don't understand something, you can ask Ma Guoliang, or you can come to me."
Zhou Can nodded heavily: "Thank you, Mr. Tan."
Tan Yue continued: "As for the other important roles in the movie, let me tell you about the candidates for other actors at present."
"Liu Qian, Xin Zhi, Ma Guoliang."
Hearing these names, Zhou Can's pupils gradually dilated and his mouth opened into an 'O' shape.
He didn't expect that they were all big names, and these big names were still supporting him. Do you want to praise him?
Zhou Can felt a little 'buzzing' in his head. He felt that he had heard it wrong. He stuttered a little when he spoke: "Mr. Tan, you are not kidding me, right? How can a small actor like me be worthy of acting with them, and they want me to be the protagonist?"
Zhou Can said the truth. With the configuration of these three people, in a movie, even if he played a small role, he would be willing to play a small role. It's a bit difficult for him to be the protagonist.
Tan Yue smiled and comforted: "There is no status for actors here. I always value the acting skills of the actors themselves. You should not feel pressured. Only in such an environment can you truly exercise your acting skills. You must seize this opportunity."
During the time Zhou Can studied with Ma Guoliang, he understood why the current audience likes to watch the performances between old actors. It is "cool" for the audience.
It is also very enjoyable for the actors, learning from each other and making progress together.
"The movie will take some time to prepare. Your task will be very heavy. You must work hard and let everyone's eyes light up. Do you have confidence?" Tan Yue said seriously.
Zhou Can clenched his fist tightly. Now the opportunity is in front of him, and he must grasp it: "Mr. Tan, I have confidence. Please believe me. I will do my best and not let you down!"
