Chapter 737 New Movie Starts Shooting
There was a lot of chatter among the directors, and the discussion among the actors seemed to explode.
"I don't know who will star in Teacher Tan's movie. This is the protagonist in Teacher Tan Yue's movie. When will it be my turn to do something like this? I'm jealous of my real name."
"Even if I am given a supporting role in Mr. Tan's movie, I am willing to play it."
"That's what everyone thinks."
Tan Yue is a symbol of traffic. Many movies will carry out all kinds of hype before they start shooting. Before the movie is about to be released, the producers will want to create a lot of hype.
The purpose is to attract attention and get more traffic and attention.
And Tan Yue only needs to release the news that he is going to make a movie, and the traffic will be extremely huge.
It will bring a lot of popularity to the actors in the play.
Zheng Tong was very busy at this time, and the phone in his hand had not stopped for the past few days.
Even before the news was officially announced, I had already received countless calls, all of whom wanted to play a role in Tan Yue's movie.
Zheng Tong might directly agree to other people's movies.
But this was Tan Yue's, and he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. He always kept the casting standards in mind.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, two days later, Zheng Tong handed over the script that he had worked overtime to polish to Tan Yue.
Since Tan Yue arrived at the company early in the morning, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to reviewing the script.
Other work of the crew has also been going on simultaneously, and the preliminary preparations have basically been completed.
The sky outside is getting dark, the yellow and white street lights have been turned on, and the lights in the office have been turned on early.
Tan Yue closed the script and saw that the time was almost eight o'clock. He stood up from his seat and twisted his aching waist and back. A feeling of comfort spread throughout his body.
In one day, I finally finished reading the script and added one place, and there was no problem.
Tan Yue sat back on the boss's chair again and picked up another list, which was the supporting role candidate submitted by Zheng Tong.
After about a few minutes, Tan Yue signed on it.
After so many times, I am still very satisfied that Zheng Tong can find a suitable supporting role.
Chen Ziyu gently pushed the door open, just in time to see Tan Yue raise his head, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Coming behind Tan Yue, he gently pressed his shoulders with his hands and asked concernedly: "Are you done?"
She came twice this afternoon and found that Tan Yue had been busy, so she left quietly without disturbing him.
The comfort coming from his shoulders made Tan Yue close his eyes slightly, enjoying the moment to the fullest, and replied softly: "Well, all the preparatory work for "The King of Comedy" has basically been completed, and it will be shot soon."
Chen Ziyu frowned: "It takes several months to make a movie, and we won't be able to see each other during this time."
Only in front of Tan Yue would she show her little woman side.
Tan Yue stood up, held Chen Ziyu's hands, and said, "Don't worry, the filming progress will be faster this time and it shouldn't take too long."
Chen Ziyu nodded with a smile on his face: "You must be hungry, let's go home quickly."
Tan Yue touched his growling stomach, turned off the lights in the office, and the two of them went home together.
In the blink of an eye, May 7th has come, and the crew of "The King of Comedy" has made preparations for the preliminary work. Tonight, the entire crew went to the Dazhaimen Hotel for a dinner.
After Tan Yue finished handling the company's affairs, he sent Chen Ziyu to the hotel.
There will definitely be drinking tonight, and Chen Ziyu will become a full-time driver today.
After arriving at the hotel, the dinner party before the filming of the new movie began.
There are many old faces at the dinner table. After all, they have worked together many times and are familiar with each other. There is no excessive restraint at the wine table.
Zhou Can's role as the protagonist of this movie has not been officially announced yet, so not everyone knows it.
Seeing Ma Guoliang appear at the dinner party, people who didn't know the situation thought that he was still the protagonist.
Until Tan Yue took Zhou Can to introduce everyone, many people showed very surprised expressions, and some people were muttering in their hearts. Who is this person?
Zhou Can had never experienced such a scene before. He was in a state of nervousness and confusion throughout the dinner.
In order not to delay the start-up ceremony to be held tomorrow, everyone had a drink, and the dinner quickly came to an end.
After Chen Ziyu arrived at the Dazhaimen Hotel from the company, she saw Tan Yue waiting at the door.
Tan Yue sat in the passenger seat skillfully and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, take me home."
A weird smile appeared on Chen Ziyu's face.
"What's wrong?" Tan Yue shrank back.
Chen Ziyu drove the car and pretended to think: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that someone drank too much."
Tan Yue twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of the video of himself being filmed, and coughed lightly to relieve his social pain.
The vehicle was driving slowly on the road. Chen Ziyu felt a little uncomfortable thinking about not being able to see Tan Yue for such a long time. She said softly: "After the filming starts, remember to call me when you have nothing to do."
Once filming begins, Tan Yue will devote himself wholeheartedly to the movie. He will shoot during the day and work overtime at night to watch the filmed clips. He is always busy.
In order not to disturb Tan Yue, Chen Ziyu rarely took the initiative to contact him.
Tan Yue said softly: "Okay, I will remember it."
The next day.
Suburbs of Beijing, film and television base.
The weather was exceptionally sunny and windy.
Tan Yue led the crew of "The King of Comedy" to hold the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony was relatively simple. A temporary stage was set up in the middle of the venue, and there were some entertainment media reporters who were invited.
In order to promote the movie, many directors will create some gimmicks from the opening ceremony to attract attention.
Obviously, the crew of "The King of Comedy" does not need to go this way.
Tan Yue is the biggest traffic, and simple publicity can cause a big earthquake in the entertainment circle, and it will be constantly searched online.
The necessary ceremony still needs to be there. The entire crew followed the process step by step under the plan prepared in advance, with representatives speaking, introducing actors, and lighting incense.
The whole process was very smooth, and the opening ceremony of "The King of Comedy" came to an end.
Various entertainment media reporters gathered around and pulled Zhou Can for an interview.
In the eyes of these reporters, Zhou Can was the most interesting person for the entire crew.
Who would have thought that the protagonist of Tan Yue's new movie would be a second-tier actor with no representative works.
Zhou Can seemed very restrained and was not used to being the focus and the feeling of being noticed.
Zhou Can answered the questions of the media reporters carefully, for fear of falling into the ditch dug by the reporters.
Which questions can be answered and which cannot be answered, be prepared in advance.
Reporter: "What type of movie is this time?"
"Comedy."
"Are you confident in playing the leading role of Teacher Tan this time?"
This question seemed to touch Zhou Can's heartstrings. He didn't have much confidence in his acting skills. After a short pause, he said: "Everyone can go to the cinema to watch it when the time comes."
"Do you think Teacher Tan's comedy movie can continue Teacher Tan's box office myth?"
"Let's wait and see."
This time Zhou Can gave the answer immediately.
Although he had no confidence in his acting skills, he was full of confidence in Tan Yue. If there was a bad result, Zhou Can would also think it was his fault.
Tan Yue and other actors in the play were also facing interviews with reporters.
With the end of the opening ceremony of "The King of Comedy", reports from major media quickly appeared on the Internet.
"Entertainment Weekly: Today, the King of Comedy held a start-up ceremony at the film and television base."
"Entertainment Express": Tan Yue's third film, The King of Comedy, officially started filming. It is understood that the film is a comedy, and it is also Tan Yue's first attempt at a comedy. I wonder if the audience is looking forward to it?"
"Southern Entertainment": Director Tan Yue's new film The King of Comedy has started filming, and Ma Guoliang, Xin Zhi, and Liu Qian are all involved in this film. What is worth looking forward to is that Ma Guoliang is a supporting role in this film, and the male lead in this film is called Zhou Can. He has played supporting roles before, and this time he was chosen by Tan Yue. His acting skills are still very exciting."
"Entertainment World": Not long after The Wreath Under the Mountain was offline, Tan Yue once again announced the news of filming a new movie after a short break, and the outside world paid special attention to it."
The news has been released and quickly spread online. There are hot search lists on Weibo and short video platforms, and netizens have expressed their views on this matter.
"I thought it would take half a year to see Teacher Tan shoot a new movie, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Come on, Teacher Tan, keep working like this!"
"You're right, Teacher Tan's new movie will be a comedy. I'm looking forward to it. I'll definitely go to the cinema to support it."
"Wolf Warrior 2 and The Wreath Under the Mountain are both military-themed movies. I don't know if Teacher Tan can do the same as the first two in comedy."
"Comedy movies are not easy to shoot. I don't know how Tan Yue will handle this type of movie."
"Don't forget that Teacher Tan has shot comedy TV series. I believe this comedy movie will not be bad."
"Teacher Tan Yue's film and television works have never disappointed us fans. I have great confidence in this movie."
Film and Television Base.
Tan Yue didn't take the online discussion to heart.
After the news was released, it would inevitably cause heated discussions. There would be those who were optimistic and those who were just watching the fun.
But for him, nothing was important. All he had to do was to make the movie and let the audience judge for themselves after it was released.
Besides, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to so many things now.
After the opening ceremony, the entire crew of "The King of Comedy" became busy, and the venue has been arranged.
Tan Yue was doing the final inspection. He didn't want the scene arrangement to affect the progress of filming.
After confirming that everything was correct, he sat in front of the monitor and held the intercom: "Each department should check it for the last time, and we will start filming immediately."
Voices came from the intercom.
After the scene was quiet, a script supervisor appeared with a board: "The first shot of "The King of Comedy", the first time, action."
In order to make better use of the venue, the filming of the movie was not shot in the order of the clips seen when it was released.
Every time the props were arranged in a scene, the scenes related to it would be shot directly.
As a director, Tan Yue also had to consider the state of the actors, especially Zhou Can. He first shot a relatively simple scene to let him find his state.
Zhou Can had been sitting and taking deep breaths. After hearing the script supervisor's voice of "action", he felt a sense of suffocation, his heart felt like it was beating in his throat, and his brain was a little blank.
The extras acting opposite Zhou Can made secret eye contact, because only when Zhou Can spoke could they continue acting.
"Cut." Tan Yue shouted: "A Can, what's going on?"
Zhou Can was awakened and bowed to everyone, saying sorry all the time.
Tan Yue understood his feelings: "You adjust yourself, concentrate, don't think too much."
Zhou Can kept taking deep breaths, adjusting his state, and said: "Sorry everyone, Mr. Tan, I'm ready."
After the script supervisor finished hitting the board, the first scene started shooting.
Things were not as smooth as Zhou Can imagined. After a short adjustment, his lines gradually emerged in his mind, and the dialogue between the characters was very smooth.
Since getting the script, Zhou Can has studied the script day and night, and remembered the lines by heart.
Zhou Can himself had a little problem. He hadn't acted in so many shots and so many people watching for many years, and he couldn't get into the play.
The first scene had just begun, and he shot six takes in a row, but it still didn't pass.
Zhou Can's heart gradually became irritable, and the tension in his heart was self-evident. He wiped the sweat on his forehead layer by layer, and his back was wet.
He never stopped apologizing.
The more nervous he was, the more problems he encountered. The more problems he encountered, the more impatient he became. Zhou Can seemed to fall into a cycle.
Tan Yue said: "It's noon. Let's go eat and rest first. Ah Can, come with me."
Zhou Can has psychological problems now, and he needs to help him.
Zhou Can lowered his head and followed Tan Yue to a rest room. His eyes were a little red, and he whispered: "I'm sorry, Director Tan, I disappoint you."
Tan Yue poured two glasses of water: "Sit down and take a rest."
Zhou Can held the cups in both hands, his body trembling a little. He also knew that there was a problem in his heart, but he just couldn't control himself.
This shooting was particularly important to him, so he had a lot of concerns in his heart.
Tan Yue said: "I understand your current situation. You want to show your best state, but don't rush it."
"You are an actor. You should know that only by completely immersing yourself in the role can you show the characteristics of the character."
"No one blames you on the scene. I believe you can play the role of Yin Tianchou well."
Zhou Can's irritable heart seemed to calm down. Tan Yue introduced his understanding of the role to him.
Not long after, Ma Guoliang came in with three boxes of lunch and talked about his acting experience.
Afternoon.
The first scene continued to be filmed.
Zhou Can put down the burden in his heart, his state obviously improved, and his acting state gradually came back.
"Click."
The whole set fell into extreme silence, and everyone was waiting.
Waiting for Tan Yue to announce the result.
Zhou Can pinched his fingers tightly.
"Okay, this one is passed."
After a morning of tossing, the first scene was finally filmed smoothly.
Now many employees are relieved. Who would have thought that a simple scene would take so long.
Zhou Can showed a slight smile on his face, but he was blaming himself in his heart, because his fault made a simple scene so complicated.
Tan Yue encouraged: "Not bad, keep going, start the next scene."
The second scene continued to be filmed.
In the evening, a drizzle suddenly floated in the sky.
The crew could only take a break and stop filming temporarily.
The filming in the afternoon was slightly better than in the morning, but it was still a bit bumpy.
Tan Yue was worried that Zhou Can's psychology would have problems again, so he talked to him: "A Can, your performance in the afternoon was much better than in the morning."
Zhou Can said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Director Tan, I NG so many times in the afternoon."
Tan Yue said indifferently: "It's okay, there is no such thing as acting without NG, as long as you can find the state, all these efforts are worth it."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you solve all the difficulties in the front, the progress in the back will be faster."
Zhou Can nodded, and the tension in his heart slowly eased, "Director Tan, I'll go back first and get familiar with the scenes to be filmed tomorrow."
