Chapter 797 Actor Selection

The script of "Infernal Affairs" has reached the final stage, and it is expected to take more than an hour to complete the finishing work.

After watching Sun Daohao's interview, Tan Yue reopened the document of "Infernal Affairs" and completed the last paragraph.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and the file of "Infernal Affairs" was saved.

After writing the script, Tan Yue went through it again from beginning to end to ensure that there would be no small mistakes.

Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It was really exhausting to finish two scripts in two weeks. He picked up the cup and went to the water dispenser to get water. The tea leaves in the cup were just put in when he came in the morning, and a scent of tea came over.

Putting the cup on the desk, Tan Yue then moved his body to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and thought about the next work in his heart.

The real busy work is about to begin, and it is necessary to plan in advance to take care of both sides at the same time.

Chen Ye knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Tan, there is a document that needs your signature."

Tan Yue came to the desk, took the document and read it carefully.

This document will be sent back to the program department soon, so Chen Ye was in no hurry to leave.

Tan Yue signed his name on the last page: "Xiao Ye, I will send you a script for the evening party by email. Please print a few more copies and send them to me after sorting them out. By the way, ask Director Zheng Tong to come to my office."

"I'll do it right away." After saying that, Chen Ye hurried to the program department with the document to deliver it. When he returned to his workstation, he saw the new document sent by Tan Yue.

He opened the document, adjusted the layout, and started printing.

There was a small printer next to Chen Ye, one for convenience, and the other for many documents that needed to be kept confidential.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Ye sorted out the script and went to the film department.

A moment later, Zheng Tong came to Tan Yue's office, and the script of "Infernal Affairs" was also in Tan Yue's hands.

"Mr. Tan." Zheng Tong sat opposite Tan Yue.

Tan Yue handed over a script: "Director Zheng, this is a new movie script, take a look."

Zheng Tong took the script with both hands, and his heartbeat obviously accelerated.

Before entering this office, he was still thinking about the reason for being called here, thinking of many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be a new script.

Zheng Tong couldn't wait to open the script and read it.

"It's actually a police and gangster movie!"

He was a little surprised and stunned, but he quickly accepted it. After all, every time Tan Yue played a card, it was unexpected and reasonable.

After reading the story outline of "Infernal Affairs", Zheng Tong was very excited. Just a story made him have very high expectations.

Tan Yue said: "Take the script back and polish it well."

Zheng Tong closed the script and said happily: "Okay, Mr. Tan, I will do it immediately."

Zheng Tong was very familiar with this set of work processes, and got up and left the office.

The moment he closed the door, Zheng Tong laughed: "The surprise came too suddenly!"

Tan Yue has already filmed two movies this year. He thought that the next movie would not be released until next year. He never thought that "Kung Fu" had been off the shelves for a short time, and there was a new script so soon.

"Mr. Tan's efficiency is really too fast!" Zheng Tong couldn't help but sigh.

In the entire entertainment industry, he firmly believed that no one could match Tan Yue's speed and quality.

"Nirvana in Fire" is still in the confidentiality stage, Zheng Tong does not know yet, and he will be even more surprised when it is made public.

Zheng Tong hurried back to the film department, asked the secretary to print several copies of the script, and then quickly called the screenwriters to start the next work.

...

...

On the other hand, Tan Yue began to consider the suitable candidates for each role in "Nirvana in Fire".

The success of "Nirvana in Fire" on Earth is inseparable from the actors in the play.

Now the audience looks back and finds that many roles are some old actors in the entertainment industry.

The important roles in the play must first be selected from the internal selection of Brilliant Entertainment Company.

Only when the artists under the company continue to improve on the list of public figures can Brilliant Entertainment Company continue to move forward.

Compared with Guangmei Entertainment Company and Tianjing Entertainment Company, Brilliant Entertainment Company's foundation is still far behind, and it needs to be vigorously developed.

Secondly, it will choose to audition externally.

However, for Tan Yue, it is best to have actors in the company who can play the role.

But if the role is really not suitable for the role in the play, he will not force the actor to play it.

In order to bring out the potential of "Nirvana in Fire", every actor must try to perfectly interpret the role in the play.

Tan Yue stroked his chin, frowned slightly, and fell into thought, because he also had to consider the actors of "Infernal Affairs" next.

Mei Changsu, the most important role in "Nirvana in Fire", gave him a headache.

Tan Yue opened the company's internal website, there was a list of artists, and simply browsed it, a little aimlessly.

Soon, a name caught his attention.

"Xia Mu." Tan Yue looked at the material of one person and whispered.

Xia Mu was an actor in a third-rate entertainment company before. He was known as a handsome man in ancient costumes, and many ancient costume TV dramas were loved by the audience.

His company is in the middle among third-rate entertainment companies, and its strength is at the bottom of the entire entertainment industry.

In the entertainment industry where competition is so fierce, a step behind will miss a lot of things.

The company's strength is not good, so the resources are naturally much less.

The company took on several modern dramas for Xia Mu, but the ratings were not ideal and her fame was greatly affected.

Later, the company simply gave up and squeezed Xia Mu. During that period, there were too many TV dramas about Xia Mu on the Internet, and even many viewers were tired of it.

Xia Mu had no choice but to ask for a termination of the contract, and the company directly agreed to the request, but asked for a considerable termination fee.

Later, Xia Mu got in touch with Qin Tao by chance and signed a contract with Brilliant Entertainment Company. He played the male lead and the male second in several TV dramas. Now he ranks 89th on the list of second-tier public figures.

"Let him try." Tan Yue carefully studied Xia Mu's information. His acting skills are good and his image is suitable. At present, he is still suitable.

But whether he can be determined or not still needs to be confirmed after the audition. The role of Mei Changsu requires acting skills.

Tan Yue plans to let Xin Zhi play the heroine of the play, Princess Nihuang.

Xin Zhi has a very high degree of matching for this role, and there is no problem with her acting skills. The audition can almost be omitted.

There is another role that Tan Yue thinks can be directly determined, the commander-in-chief of the Mengzhi Imperial Guard.

Tan Yue thought of Zhang Shengli as someone who could play this role. He was strong, of the right age, and most importantly, had a foundation in martial arts.

Looking at the company's list of actors, Tan Yue wrote down several candidates for important roles.

This was just a preliminary list, and everything had to wait until the audition to be confirmed.

Tan Yue called Chen Ye: "Xiao Ye, please ask Director Qian Tao to come over."

A few minutes later.

"Dong Dong Dong".

"Come in!"

Qian Tao guessed that it should be the next stage of "Nirvana in Fire", so he was very happy.

Tan Yue handed a list of actors he had just written to Qian Tao: "This is the list of several important roles I selected. You are responsible for contacting them and asking them to come over for an audition."

Qian Tao looked at the names on the list and felt relieved.

"You and Director Lin Qingye will decide on the selection of other roles, and then hand the list to me." Tan Yue continued, "First select from the company's actors. If the company can't find a suitable actor, then look for one from outside."

"Understood, Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue looked at the time: "It's almost lunch time, let's go back and eat first."

Not long after Qian Tao left, Chen Ziyu knocked on the door and came in: "What are you busy with?"

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu said a few words.

Then the two went to the company restaurant for lunch. On the way, Tan Yue told Chen Ziyu about the selection of actors for "Nirvana in Fire".

Chen Ziyu never interfered with Tan Yue's work on film and television works, and listened carefully on the side.

Film department.

After explaining the secretary's work, Zheng Tong opened the script again and read it carefully. He only took a rough look in Tan Yue's office and didn't see many details.

The secretary quickly printed out the script of "Infernal Affairs" and put it on Zheng Tong's desk.

Zheng Tong originally planned to call a meeting of screenwriters to polish the script immediately, but the script was so good that he decided to finish reading the script first.

He is also a senior fan of police and gangster movies, and has watched almost all the police and gangster movies in the early years.

With the decline of police and gangster movies, Zheng Tong felt it was a pity. When police and gangster movies were popular, he bought a lot of movie posters and posted them in his room.

He thought it would be difficult to see high-quality police and gangster movies in the future, but he was very happy to see that there were such movies in the support plan of the General Administration of Culture.

What was even more unexpected to him was that Mr. Tan’s next movie turned out to be the police and gangster movie he had been thinking about.

Zheng Tong felt that he had seen hope, and police and gangster movies would definitely be hotly discussed by the public again like martial arts action movies.

"This movie will definitely be a hit." Zheng Tong reluctantly put down the script in his hand. He liked this "Infernal Affairs" very much.

"Infernal Affairs" is very different from the police and gangster movies he had seen before.

Then he arranged for the secretary to call several senior screenwriters in the department to the conference room for a meeting.

Like the script of "Nirvana in Fire", "Infernal Affairs" also needs polishing.

Tan Yue just wrote down the plot. What they had to do was to divide the script into shots, which was not a difficult task for several senior screenwriters in the company.

"Director, they are already in the conference room." The secretary opened the door and said.

"Okay, take these scripts to the conference room."

Several people in the conference room were still discussing.

As Zheng Tong opened the door and came in, the conference room instantly became quiet.

"Send these scripts to everyone." Zheng Tong sat down and said.

"Infernal Affairs!"

"Who wrote this script?"

Several screenwriters discussed in a low voice after receiving the script.

After the secretary left, Zheng Tong said: "The script you have in your hands now was just given to me by Mr. Tan. Everyone knows the next work. This is a police and gangster film. Li Yang, you are most familiar with this type of movie. You will be the leader today."

Several screenwriters in the conference room were surprised to hear that this was Mr. Tan's script.

Li Yang nodded heavily.

"Everyone should first familiarize yourself with the content of the script, and then start the work of dividing the script into shots."

Professional things should be done by professionals.

After all, Zheng Tong is not a professional screenwriter. He is just an organizer.

Several screenwriters started to read the script. Among them, Li Yang read it most carefully. He had a heavy task.

Zheng Tong read the script carefully again during this time.

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

However, from time to time, someone would praise the script.

Nearly an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Tong looked at everyone who had finished reading the script and asked, "What do you think of this script?"

Li Yang said with emotion, "This "Infernal Affairs" is the best police and gangster script I have seen in the past ten years. The box office will definitely not be bad."

"That's good, let's start the next work."

A heated discussion began in the meeting room. Zheng Tong listened silently. Although he didn't know much about the script's shot division, some problems could still be solved.

It was not until lunch that several people temporarily put down their work.

The next day.

Hangzhou.

Warm Jiayuan.

Li Yuan, who rarely gets up early on weekends, got up from the bed with difficulty. He would go to the airport to pick up his girlfriend.

Li Yuan squinted his eyes and washed in the bathroom.

He was up now, but his soul was still lying in bed.

The alarm on his mobile phone rang again. In order to prevent himself from oversleeping, he set an alarm every minute and slapped his face hard while washing his face.

"Finally woke up." Li Yuan looked at himself in the mirror, picked up the razor and shaved his beard, went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, and drove to the airport.

There is a road that leads to the airport, and there are not too many vehicles on the road.

It took Li Yuan 40 minutes to arrive at the airport, a little earlier than expected, waiting for his girlfriend to arrive.

Li Yuan waited at the airport for more than 20 minutes before seeing Zhao Yan's figure and waved his hand: "This way."

Zhao Yan had to go back early tomorrow morning, holding only a bag in her hand, and said with a smile: "You did a good job today. I was worried that you couldn't get up on the plane!"

"How can I be late for such an important thing."

The two got in the car happily and went home.

"Let's go to the movie first after the party?" Zhao Yan said.

"Are there any good movies being released recently?"

Zhao Yan took out her mobile phone: "I don't know, I'll take a look first. By the way, have you heard of the movie "Dark Forest"? "

"I heard about it, and I also watched the interview. Many people in the movie forum are talking about this movie. It has also been on the hot search on Weibo."

"Yes, it's a science fiction movie. Let's go and see it together when it is released!"

"No problem." How can I refuse my girlfriend's invitation?

Li Yuan was driving and asked, "Do you think Mr. Tan will have a new movie this year?"

Zhao Yan scrolled through the screen of her phone and looked through the movies that were being shown: "I don't think the possibility is too high."

"I think so too."

Li Yuan was still looking forward to Tan Yue's new movie: "Now many people are speculating what kind of movie Mr. Tan will have next."

Not only are there people discussing on Weibo, but people are also speculating on movie forums.

"What kind do you want to see?"

"Of course it's a martial arts action movie. I hope there will be another movie like "Kung Fu."

There is no news on the Internet now, and every fan hopes that the next movie will be the type they like.
