Chapter 832 Preliminary Completion

Beijing.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue called Xin Zhi first.

Since the filming of "Nirvana in Fire" was completed, Xin Zhi has been resting at home most of the time.

The phone rang a few times and then Xin Zhi's voice was heard.

"Mr. Tan."

"How have you adjusted during this period? I'm preparing to shoot a new movie here. Do you have time to come and audition for a role?"

"Ah ha? Of course no problem."

Xin Zhi didn't even ask about the details of the specific role. As long as it was Tan Yue's film and television works, she would agree directly.

After hanging up the phone, Xin Zhi sat up excitedly from the sofa. She knew that Mr. Tan's new movie would be released simultaneously around the world.

Then, Tan Yue contacted Liu Qian again, and her reaction was almost the same as Xin Zhi's. She agreed without hesitation.

The roles of the two of them have not been completely determined yet. They still need to go through auditions to see if they are suitable before they can be finally confirmed.

However.

Tan Yue is not too worried about their acting skills and believes that they can pass the auditions.

Xin Zhi and Liu Xi are among the best actresses nowadays, so this kind of role is not too stressful for them.

Besides, they are actors who have worked with Tan Yue many times, so they will be very comfortable to use. He has also worked with Ma Guoliang before, so the actors don't need to spend too much time getting used to each other.

"The Truman Show" is his first movie to be released simultaneously around the world, which is very important to Tan Yue.

Therefore, the actors who play important roles in this movie will all be old cast members.

The massager on his neck made a slight "buzzing" vibration sound. Tan Yue sipped tea and looked at the characters in the movie in a trance.

The casting requirements this time are much stricter than the previous ones, and this is also to better present "The Truman Show" to the audience around the world.

Then Chen Ye called Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong knocked on the door and entered the office.

Tan Yue asked, "Mr. Zheng, how are the other roles in the movie being decided?"

Zheng Tong handed the folder in his hand to Tan Yue: "The actors are all on this list, please take a look."

The actor information on the list is very detailed, including: the film and television works they have participated in, age, ranking on the public figure list, and why Zheng Tong thinks the actor is suitable for the role.

So many roles were selected by Zheng Tong and the six old screenwriters. In addition to Tan Yue, the people who are most familiar with the script are the screenwriters who participate in polishing and writing the storyboard script.

With their understanding of the character's personality, it is easy to judge which actor is more suitable.

Tan Yue took the list and looked through it carefully.

Zheng Tong waited with a slightly nervous mood.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Tan Yue nodded with satisfaction: "First notify the actors on this list, let them come for an audition, and they can participate in the movie if they pass."

Tan Yue is familiar with many of the actors selected by Zheng Tong. Even some small roles are actors that domestic audiences are familiar with, and they can often be seen in various film and television works.

"Okay, I'll contact them now."

Zheng Tong left the office and began to instruct the staff to contact the actors according to the names on the list.

Although these are relatively unknown actors, they are preferred by many crews, at least their acting skills are very good.

Zheng Tong is worried that they can't adjust the schedule, which will affect the start of "The Truman Show".

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

That day, Zheng Tong walked into a conference room with a few people, looking particularly serious.

At this time, there were many people sitting in the conference room next door, and most of them seemed very excited because they would have auditions later.

Today, the selection of actors for the movie "The Truman Show" will be held.

These actors don't know whose movie they will be in, let alone what movie.

Any news about "The Truman Show" is still confidential. Without confirmation, the staff will naturally not disclose these things to the actors.

Even if it has been confirmed, a confidentiality agreement will be signed, and nothing related to the movie can be disclosed during the period.

Zheng Tong drank the water, put down the cup, looked at the other four people and said seriously: "If there is anything inappropriate, just eliminate them."

The four people nodded in response, they knew the importance of the movie.

"Let them come in one by one in order."

Hearing Zheng Tong's arrangement, the assistant at the door took the list to the next meeting room and started calling people.

In this way, under Zheng Tong's strict requirements, the selection of actors for "The Truman Show" lasted for three days before it was over.

So far, all the roles in the movie have been finalized.

Xin Zhi and Liu Qian were auditioned by Tan Yue himself, and as expected, they were able to fully interpret the characteristics of the characters.

A role that has always been a headache for Tan Yue-the director of the soap opera "The Truman Show" in the play, who has never been able to find a suitable candidate.

After repeated discussions with Zheng Tong and others, Jiao Cheng was finally selected to play the role.

Although Jiao Cheng's age is not suitable, the current makeup technology can make up for it.

What made Tan Yue make a decision was Jiao Cheng's attainments in acting.

CEO's Office.

Tan Yue looked at the list submitted by Zheng Tong, felt that there was no problem, and signed his name.

Then he put the list aside and called Chen Ye to the office.

Chen Ye stood opposite and listened to the arrangements.

"Xiao Ye, go and inform Ma Guoliang, Liu Qian, Xin Zhi, Jiao Cheng and others to go to Conference Room No. 1 for a meeting."

Watching Chen Ye leave, Tan Yue picked up the script, character biography and notebook on the table and went to Conference Room No. 1.

Yesterday, several main actors in the movie had been notified in advance to come to the company for a meeting.

Tan Yue planned to gather these actors together in advance and tell them about the characteristics of the characters and the details of the movie to help them fully understand the movie.

On the notebook in his hand were some key questions he had sorted out in the past few days.

Tan Yue was the first person to come to the conference room.

After a while, several people arrived in the conference room one after another.

Chen Ye poured water for several people and went out.

Tan Yue said:

"The Truman Show is the first movie of our company to be released simultaneously around the world. It is not only important to the company, to me, but also to you. So before the start of the filming, I called everyone together to tell everyone about the characters and some details in the movie."

Several people nodded one after another. When they came, they not only brought the script, but also the notebook.

"Let's listen to Mr. Ma's understanding of the role first."

The two had already discussed the characteristics of Truman, and Tan Yue wanted to see Ma Guoliang's own understanding of the role in the past few days. Moreover, with Ma Guoliang's rich experience, he can also bring inspiration to several other people.

Letting them communicate with each other is another purpose of Tan Yue's gathering of several people to sit together for a meeting.

Several people are very familiar with each other, and the meeting is in full swing.

The next day.

Zheng Tong sat upright and listened to Tan Yue's instructions.

In recent days, his main activities have been in his own office and Tan Yue's office.

"All the actors have been confirmed, and the next step is to write a film project proposal."

Every work process of "The Truman Show" is in Tan Yue's plan.

But only when the project proposal is out can the filming be formally started, because this is the company process and is related to the funding of the crew.

Zheng Tong nodded heavily, and every task cannot be sloppy.

After receiving the task, Zheng Tong returned to his office without stopping, and quickly asked the secretary to call the relevant personnel to the conference room for a meeting.

He knew the contents of the project proposal very well, including the preparatory work before the start of filming, the shooting process, the budget, and the shooting cycle.

Although the contents of the project proposal were rather complicated, Zheng Tong was already quite proficient. While waiting for others, he created a new document on the computer, named "The Truman Show Project Proposal".

The relevant personnel arrived soon, and Zheng Tong began to assign tasks.

Three people were divided into groups, and each group was responsible for a content to make relevant plans.

After making it, everyone discussed the feasibility of the plan together.

The meeting room soon became lively.

While others were discussing the plan, Zheng Tong was typing something on the computer, and the results of the discussion could be directly filled into the document, which could save a lot of time.

In order to make the project proposal as soon as possible, Zheng Tong had arranged for his secretary not to let anyone come in and disturb him.

The people in the meeting room all had rich experience and had participated in the discussion of film project proposals many times. The whole process of the meeting went very smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Zheng Tong stared at the document on the computer and was making the final confirmation of the project proposal.

CEO's Office.

Tan Yue in front of the computer gently rubbed his temples. Just processing documents took up nearly half of his time every day.

Without rushing to process the next document, Tan Yue stood up and moved his body, feeling much more comfortable.

Dong Dong Dong.

"Come in."

"Mr. Tan."

Zheng Tong pushed the door in, holding the project proposal that had just been printed, and said, "This is the project proposal for "The Truman Show."

Tan Yue took the document and sat back in front of the computer, flipping through it carefully.

Zheng Tong did not interrupt him and waited for the result silently.

Because it involved various preparations, funds and shooting cycles, Tan Yue read very slowly.

"There is no problem with the project proposal." As the voice fell, Tan Yue picked up the pen and signed his name.

The project of "The Truman Show" was approved, and the preparatory work before the start of the filming could begin.

Zheng Tong, who took back the project proposal, continued to be busy. He had to prepare for the crew to start filming.

There was a lot of work to do before the filming started, coordinating various staff members, and all kinds of props needed to be arranged.

A group of people gathered in the conference room again.

There were many more people attending the meeting this time. Zheng Tong took the microphone to arrange the work.

Zheng Tong's voice was a little hoarse, and he kept talking.

Completing all the preparations before the start of "The Truman Show" is his most important task now.

President's Office.

Tan Yue looked at his mobile phone and edited the message to send to the group.

There were Ma Guoliang, Jiao Cheng, Xin Zhi, and Liu Qian in the group. This group was established after the last meeting to facilitate communication.

In order to make this movie well, everyone is doing their best. Once they encounter a problem that they don't understand, they will ask directly in the group.

Several people often exchange problems and discuss the details of the script in the group. Tan Yue also often participates in their discussions.

When some film and television works are being filmed, each actor will get his own script. Except for the leading actor, other actors will not get the complete version of the script.

But this time, they all have complete scripts in their hands. If one more person reads it, it will bring a different feeling.

Tan Yue told these people that if they encountered any uncertain questions, they should ask in the group and tag him so that he could also participate.

Whenever he received a tag, Tan Yue would try to put down the work at hand to deal with the problems in the group. Even if the work at hand was very urgent, he would deal with the problems in the group as soon as he was done.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, Artist Department.

"Hello, Deputy Director Xu!"

"Is Teacher Ma here?"

Xu Nuo, who was a little addicted to alcohol, came to find Ma Guoliang.

"In the office."

Xu Nuo smiled and raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.

After hearing "Come in", Xu Nuo walked in and said with a smile: "Teacher Ma, we haven't had a drink together for a long time. Calling Acan, do you want to drink tonight?"

Since Ma Guoliang started working out, the three of them have never had a drink together again.

"No, I don't have time. You two go." Ma Guoliang looked embarrassed.

Without Ma Guoliang's drinking party, Xu Nuo would feel that there would be less fun, and he wanted to try again: "What kind of work is so busy?"

"I'm about to shoot a movie, and I need to get familiar with the script and the characters. I can't drink during this period. I'll treat you to a drink after the movie is finished."

Xu Nuo had no choice but to nod and leave. He still knew the priorities of work.

Ma Guoliang couldn't drink with him, so Xu Nuo had to go to Zhou Can.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Zheng Tong finished reporting on his work and turned to leave the office.

Tan Yue had a smile on his face.

After half a month of preparation, all the preparatory work for "The Truman Show" was completed today.

Due to the importance of this movie, Tan Yue had to personally inquire about every preparatory work, no matter how big or small.

With such meticulous preparation, many problems will be avoided after the movie starts, making the entire filming process smoother.

Tan Yue confirmed it from beginning to end again, and then put the file aside with confidence.

All the work for the start of filming has been prepared. Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and went to the window to look at the scenery outside.

The few trees on the roadside have grown leaves again, and there are still a few flowers in the holly bushes, which are particularly eye-catching.

"It's time to start filming." Tan Yue said to himself, looking very happy.

The complicated preparatory work is completed, and the next step is to officially start filming.

He made so much effort in the hope that "The Truman Show" can achieve good results during the release period, so that audiences around the world will pay attention to Chinese films, him and Brilliant Entertainment.

"The Truman Show" is his first movie to be released simultaneously around the world. For this, Tan Yue is nervous and expectant.
