Chapter 763: Supporting New Actors

Beijing, Brilliant Entertainment Company, Tan Yue's office.

Tan Yue walked into the office, picked up the teacup on the table and drank two sips of warm water. He had just said a lot at the company's senior management morning meeting, and his mouth was dry.

Compared with Tianjing Entertainment Company and Guangmei Entertainment Company, two old first-class entertainment companies, the emerging Brilliant Entertainment Company still has shortcomings in terms of foundation.

This foundation does not refer to funds, benefits, and influence, but the company's system, operation, and experience.

Brilliant Entertainment Company has developed too fast in recent years, but it is precisely because of the rapid development that many problems have arisen. It has taken a few years to complete the road that others have taken decades to complete. While bringing huge benefits, there are definitely disadvantages.

However, these disadvantages are controllable and can be solved.

For these problems, Tan Yue will not solve them personally. Although he has made achievements in many aspects, it is impossible to be perfect in all aspects.

Moreover, he firmly believed in the reasonable use of talents. No one in this world is perfect, but there are always experts in a certain field, and Tan Yue is going to make good use of these professionals in various fields.

Dong Dong Dong.

The office door was knocked.

Tan Yue looked up, put down the water cup in his hand, looked at the door of the office, and said, "Come in."

As soon as Tan Yue finished speaking, Chen Ye came in with a stack of documents, "Mr. Tan, this needs your signature."

Tan Yue nodded and smiled, "Okay, you put it here."

"Yeah." Chen Ye nodded, put the documents in his hand on Tan Yue's desk, then carefully looked up at Tan Yue and quickly retracted his gaze.

After coming out of Tan Yue's office, Chen Ye quickened his pace and returned to his office.

Bang Bang Bang.

She could feel her heartbeat.

As she spent more and more time with Tan Yue, Chen Ye could find that she seemed to be gradually falling.

She still remembered that she had told Tan Yue that she wanted to resign before, but now, she never mentioned it again.

The most worrying thing still happened. Chen Ye was worried that one day she would be unable to leave this man, but she did not want the love she had longed for for so many years to become so humble.

She was tangled and conflicted in her heart, but when she asked Tan Yue to tell her about her resignation again, Chen Ye really couldn't say it.

Tan Yue didn't know how Chen Ye tossed and turned in the office. What he was considering now was the casting of the actors in the movie "Kung Fu".

For a movie, the actors are the soul and core of the movie. If the actors are not well cast, it will determine the upper limit of the movie.

The first role to be decided was naturally Zhou Can, the actor who played the protagonist of "Kung Fu", A Xing. Zhou Can's nonsensical comedy style is not possessed by other actors.

Tan Yue heard that many entertainment companies in the circle are preparing to follow the trend of "The King of Comedy" and shoot nonsensical comedy-style movies.

However, Tan Yue is not optimistic about these copycat works. It is not that he is against copycat works of "The King of Comedy". If there are really good movies, Tan Yue will be happy.

People stand at different positions and heights, and their views on the problem are different. Some people think that Tan Yue will definitely not want the copycat works to be on par with the original "The King of Comedy". In fact, this is a wrong idea.

If the other party does not have an aggressive attitude towards the original work and concentrates on filming the movie, Tan Yue is happy to see the emergence of blockbuster copycat works.

Tan Yue is now considering these issues from the perspective of the entire Huayu Film. It is difficult for him to support the entire Huayu alone. Only when more outstanding talents continue to emerge in this circle can Huayu have better development, and the status of Huayu artists and practitioners can be greatly improved internationally.

Although Tan Yue hopes that there will be successful copycat works in the style of nonsensical comedy movies in Huayu Film, he also clearly realizes how difficult this task is.

There were so many comedians in the past, but there was only one Stephen Chow. It's not that no one wanted to follow Stephen Chow's path, but the most important thing was that they didn't have that talent. Hard work is important, but talent is also extremely important for many industries. Talent determines the upper limit, and hard work determines the lower limit.

Stephen Chow has a unique innate talent for comedy, which other actors don't have.

Similarly, Zhou Can also has such a talent for comedy. It's not because he chose Zhou Can that Zhou Can has a talent for comedy, but because Zhou Can has this kind of comedy talent that he recognizes, so he chose Zhou Can.

He has seen hundreds of actors, but Zhou Can is the only actor who can have a comedy style similar to Stephen Chow.

Therefore, Tan Yue is not optimistic about other follow-up works.

The reason why "The King of Comedy" was so successful is inseparable from two factors. One is Zhou Can's nonsensical comedy style, and the other is Tan Yue's accurate understanding and grasp of the nonsensical comedy style. No matter which of these two factors is missing, there will be no such popular results as "The King of Comedy" later.

The movies that follow the trend nowadays do not have these two factors. It is very difficult to make a good nonsensical movie.

While reviewing the documents that Chen Ye had just sent, Tan Yue was thinking about the actors in his mind, which was also a way to relax his brain.

In the end, it has not been decided who will play the characters in the play. It still needs to be seen whether the actors have schedules and whether they are willing to take on these roles and scripts.

But thinking about actors in advance can be regarded as a way to prepare for a rainy day.

"The charterer can consider Zhang Shengli. He has martial arts skills and his whole image is very similar to the charterer."

Tan Yue was the first to knock Zhang Shengli down.

Nowadays, there are not many martial arts actors in the Chinese entertainment industry who can actually fight. The martial arts stars of the previous generation are no longer able to fight. They all have old arms and legs. When they were young, they could survive any beating, but now they can survive. Suddenly, I really suffered a big sin.

Zhang Shengli and others can only be regarded as martial arts actors of the Mesozoic generation. After all, they are all in their forties. As for the younger generation, there are no martial arts actors who can take over.

Moreover, Zhang Shengli previously played the protagonist Leng Feng in "Wolf Warrior 2" and was very popular with the audience. Now he has a large audience and has a large number of fans to support him. It is quite suitable for Zhang Shengli to play the role of the charterer in "Kung Fu".

"I'm going to ask Zhang Shengli in the next two days if he wants to take over the role of charterer. If there are no other activities, he should agree." Tan Yue thought for a while.

After finalizing Zhang Shengli, Tan Yue started thinking about the next actor.

"The charterer can let Zhou Yue play the role." Tan Yue thought.

Cuican Entertainment has grown rapidly and in scale in recent years, and has signed a large number of artists.

Chen Ziyu had talked with him about this issue during this period. Now the company has signed so many actors, but many of the main actors in Tan Yue's movies are always from the same group. Although doing so can make popular artists more popular, it can also improve the quality of the movie. Well-known, but this is not good for other actors in the company. The company cannot always rely on a few actors to support it, but the more well-known actors it can have, the better.

And Zhou Yue is an actor who has been signed to the company in the past few years, or a personality actor is more suitable. She is strong and tall, so she will definitely not be able to play the heroine in film and television dramas, but she can play many important supporting actresses.

This time when filming "Kung Fu", Tan Yue thought of her.

"There is also a soul character in the movie, which can be said to be the most important role besides the protagonist Ah Xing."

Tan Yue thought of the role of the mute girl in the film.

"Is it appropriate for someone to play a mute woman?"

After thinking hard, Tan Yue still felt that Liu Qian was more suitable to play the mute girl!

He also thought about whether Xin Zhi could play the role, but in the end he rejected it because although Xin Zhi is also very good-looking, Xin Zhi prefers that kind of aggressive beauty, which is not suitable for the overall temperament of a mute woman.

"The fat boy in the film can be auditioned by Zhou Chao, but the audition should be strict. If his acting skills are not good, then he should be replaced. The quality of the film cannot be lowered by cultivating new people."

Zhou Chao is also an artist signed by the company in recent years. Because of his festive appearance and fat figure, he often plays the role of the male protagonist's follower in some film and television dramas.

This time, Zhou Chao can have a try as Fat Boy in "Kung Fu".

In the afternoon, after waking up from a nap.

Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to inform the screenwriters of the film department to go to the conference room.

He has already written the script of "Kung Fu" and checked it many times, but there are still many areas that need to be polished and the entire script needs to be changed into shots. Tan Yue will not do these complicated tasks himself. Instead, it was handed over to a group of experienced screenwriters in the company.

Conference room three.

When Tan Yue opened the door and walked in, there were already seven or eight screenwriters in the conference room, all of whom were experienced screenwriters from the company.

"Mr. Tan."

"Hello, Mr. Tan."

"Mr. Tan is here."

Everyone stood up to greet Tan Yue. Tan Yue smiled and asked everyone to sit down. "My new movie script has been written. I still have to work hard for everyone next."

Before coming, everyone had already guessed the purpose of this meeting. If it weren't for writing a script for Mr. Tan's new movie, everyone wouldn't have gathered here, and Mr. Tan would preside over the meeting.

After Tan Yue finished speaking, Chen Ye took the printed "Kung Fu" script and handed it to every screenwriter present one by one.

“Everyone has a look first, and we’ll talk about it after we finish it.”

After Tan Yue finished speaking, he opened his notebook and began to organize his speech for the next meeting.

Polishing the script and changing the script into shots are also very important tasks, but it is relatively trivial and time-consuming, so Tan Yue handed over this task to a group of screenwriters.

In order to allow the screenwriter to better make the scenes of the script how he wants, and to avoid going astray when polishing various parts, Tan Yue needs to explain the movie "Kung Fu" clearly to everyone and let them Everyone understands.

Tan Yue was not in a hurry and waited for everyone to take their time.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Forty minutes later, Tan Yue turned his attention from the notebook to the screenwriters, "How was it? Have you finished reading it all?"

"It's over."

"The story is interesting, but is this a martial arts action movie?"

"It's very difficult to shoot martial arts action movies now."

"I believe Mr. Tan, the box office will not be low!"

Tan Yue pressed his hands and waited for everyone to calm down before saying: "This meeting is to let everyone know about this movie. Everyone will share their opinions later, so now I will talk about this movie first. ”

Everyone looked at Tan Yue.

Tan Yuedao: "Any excellent movie will not simply express one theme. In the movie "Kung Fu", whether it is the martial arts spirit of three hidden masters sacrificing their lives for justice, or the police chief accepting bribes, Working for the Ax Gang can be appreciated in today’s society, especially the recent hot searches on Weibo, and this is also the value of film and television works.”

After listening to Tan Yue's words, the screenwriters nodded frequently.

Movies that reflect social issues, no matter how good they are at the box office, most of them will not be bad in quality.

"So what exactly do I want to express in the book "Kung Fu" I wrote? I particularly like a saying that if there are many contradictions in any process, one of them must be the main one, playing a leading and decisive role."

"In the movie "Kung Fu", there are many contradictions, the contradiction between hiding in the world and being born, the contradiction between paying rent and having no money, the contradiction between stopping water and washing hair, etc. As a communication tool, movies are in the contradiction of contradictions. One good thing about the performance is that the protagonist is often the bearer of the main conflict.”

"In the protagonist A Xing, the main contradiction we can see is obviously the contradiction between good and evil. The continuous development of contradictions constitutes the main narrative line of this film. Sometimes people's kindness will be dusted as they grow, but If you give it a chance to inspire, the eternal goodness in human nature will always emerge, which is what this movie wants to express.”

Tan Yue was talking about what he wanted to express in the movie "Kung Fu" at the front, while the screenwriters below listened attentively, and some even took pens to write them down quickly. This is not flattery, but true. Studying.

Tan Yue can be said to be one of the top directors in the industry. Whatever he says can benefit the screenwriters a lot.

Tan Yue did not continue talking, but paused for a while.

In order to polish the script of "Kung Fu" and make the split shots accurate, Tan Yue has planned to stay in the conference room throughout the afternoon to explain "Kung Fu" to the screenwriters.

If the script polishing and storyboarding of "Kung Fu" were all written by one screenwriter, there might be quite a bit of deviation, but with so many screenwriters writing it, and Tan Yue telling his ideas clearly and concretely, Without them, even if one or two people misunderstand Tan Yue's meaning, other screenwriters will correct these mistakes during the work process.
