Chapter 833 On the Plane

After standing by the window to rest for a while, Tan Yue sat back in front of the computer, waiting for the arrival of Zheng Tong and Wu Gong.

He has asked Chen Ye to inform the two of them.

The first person to come to the office was Zheng Tong, who had left not long ago.

"Drink some water."

"Thank you Mr. Tan."

Zheng Tong looked very tired during this busy period. Although there were employees responsible below, he continued to follow up on every task personally to avoid mistakes.

The two of them drank tea and chatted while waiting for Wu Gong.

When receiving the notice from Chen Ye, Wu Gong was presiding over an important meeting, which was coming to an end and arrived at the office a few minutes late.

"Mr. Tan."

"Sit down, I have something to do with you two."

The three of them sat on the sofa, with water boiling in the kettle and the aroma of tea coming out.

"The preparations for "The Truman Show" have been completed, and I want to discuss the start-up time with you today."

Zheng Tong, who was preparing for this, put down the cup in his hand and said: "Everything is ready now, and you can start shooting at any time."

Wu Gong thought: "Of course, the sooner the start-up time is, the better, but I think we still need to give a few days of buffer time. During this period, the crew is busy with preparations every day. It would be a bit hasty to announce the start-up directly. It also needs to be Consider holding a power-on ceremony.”

Zheng Tong nodded slightly. In his mind, he kept thinking about getting the movie started as soon as possible. He didn't think too much about it and ignored the feelings of the employees working below.

"Mr. Wu is right. Everyone has worked hard during the preparations. We should give everyone a few more days to rest." Tan Yue paused and continued:

"Well, the start-up time will be half a month later, that is, early July."

Zheng Tong and Wu Gong both nodded and had no objection.

The filming date for "The Truman Show" has been set.

Starting production half a month later will also give Ma Guoliang and the others more time to familiarize themselves with the script.

Tan Yue looked at Zheng Tong and arranged:

"After I get back, inform everyone on the crew about the start-up time, and tell them to take advantage of this gap to take a good rest. Once it starts, it will be very hard. In addition, review all aspects of the preparation work again, and quickly improve any areas that are not in place."

"Okay, I will check it myself when I get back."

Zheng Tong wrote down everything Tan Yue told him one by one.

Everything is ready, now it's time to start. Thinking about how busy I was before, I suddenly felt much more relaxed. The three of them sipped tea and chatted about the recent preparations for the movie.

Zheng Tong's heart dropped. Ever since he received this task, he has been busy keeping his feet on the ground, fearing that Mr. Tan would be unhappy if he did something wrong.

Even when I go to bed at night, my dreams are filled with "The Truman Show."

"Also." While chatting, Tan Yue suddenly remembered something and said slowly: "The dinner party before the start of the machine is scheduled for June 29th at the Tianling Hotel. We will notify you together then."

In the past, it was customary to have a dinner party before filming started, in order to get the actors familiar with each other as soon as possible.

This time we are all using the old team, and the few of us are still very familiar with each other. It seems that there is no need for a dinner party.

But now that a routine has been formed, continuing it is also an incentive for employees.

Zheng Tong silently recited the time and place of the dinner in his mind so that he could accurately inform the crew.

The three of them drank tea and chatted for half an hour before Zheng Tong and Wu Gong left the office.

The sun slowly disappeared from the western horizon.

Night falls, the moon and stars are scarce.

Ruishan Community.

After dinner, Tan Yue did not go to bed. He sat in front of the computer in the study and browsed a document.

This information is about the filming location of the movie, which is located on a small island in the South China Sea.

With current technology, it is possible to replace it with a piece of green cloth, but in order to better reflect the authenticity of the movie, Tan Yue decided to look for real scenes.

It was not easy to find this place. All coastal cities were inspected and a lot of manpower and material resources were used.

Tan Yue looked at the panoramic view of the island on the browser.

He has been to this place twice personally.

The island is well-equipped with similar architectural styles. You can walk to fashion shops, cafes, restaurants from anywhere... and every street leads to the seaside. It is simply the best choice for filming this movie.

Chen Ziyu came in with a cup of coffee, looked at Tan Yue's serious look, came behind him and gently rubbed his shoulders.

"How is this place being renovated?"

"Basically, you don't need to move, it's already done, and you can start shooting in the past."

There are some places that do not match the plot of the movie, but not many, and it can be simply arranged.

"I won't see you again for a long time this time."

Thinking of not seeing each other for so long, Chen Ziyu felt a little depressed.

Tan Yue closed the computer page, grabbed Chen Ziyu's hand and took her into his arms: "You will be back soon by plane. If you miss me, I can come back often."

Such an intimate gesture made Chen Ziyu's cheeks flush slightly, and she said softly: "This movie is so important, come back after it's finished."

Although it takes three or four hours to get there by plane, it takes at least a day to get back and forth. If Tan Yue leaves, the entire crew will stop working, thus affecting the entire filming process.

Chen Ziyu didn't want Tan Yue to be distracted from filming the movie because of herself.

"Let's check the work schedule then. I should be able to come back during my break."

If the filming process goes well, there will still be time to come back.

Chen Ziyu lay in Tan Yue's arms and said "hmm" softly.

"If you miss me, you can come to me."

"This place is pretty, I want to see it too, but I have to see if I have time."

Chen Ziyu looked at the scenery on the island online and it was indeed beautiful. The sea water near the island was so clear that you could see the bottom.

After Tan Yue left, Chen Ziyu's workload would increase a lot, and he also had to see if he had free time.

Then the two of them came to the balcony, sat on the sofa, looked at the moonlit night view, and chatted.

Until the lights in the community were almost all turned off, the two went back to the house to sleep.

June 29th.

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue turned off the computer, packed up his things and left the office.

"Mr. Tan."

As soon as Tan Yue arrived downstairs, he saw Ma Guoliang, Xin Zhi, and Liu Qian waiting.

"Let's go."

The four of them walked to Tianling Hotel.

Although the distance was relatively short, in order to avoid attracting onlookers, the four of them wore masks.

Liu Qian and Xin Zhi were chatting in front, while Tan Yue and Ma Guoliang were talking in the back.

It was the rush hour after get off work, and there were many people on the road. When the four people passed by the crowd, they would inevitably attract the attention of others.

"They look so familiar to me?"

A girl whispered to her bestie.

"You are familiar with all the handsome guys you see."

"That's the Brilliant Entertainment Company. Maybe it's a star?"

While the two were still chatting, Tan Yue and the other four had already walked away.

Tianling Hotel.

The four people were led by the waiter to the lobby.

The lobby was very lively, and basically everyone was familiar.

The crew of "The Truman Show" this time not only had old actors, but also other behind-the-scenes staff were experienced old employees of the company.

"I'm so excited. Mr. Tan is going to make another movie, and this time it will be released worldwide."

"It takes a lot of hard work to make this movie. Look at all the people who came to the dinner. They are all old acquaintances."

"Needless to say, this is a rare opportunity. Maybe our company can connect with the international entertainment industry with this movie. By then, our company will be the largest entertainment company in China."

"Hearing you say that, I feel the pressure is getting greater and greater."

While everyone was talking, the crew arrived one after another.

After all the people arrived, the waiter began to serve the dishes. This time there were only drinks, no wine.

At the main table, Tan Yue held the microphone and said:

"Everyone should have heard about the importance of this film shooting. The process will be very hard. I will work with everyone to overcome difficulties and make a good movie so that audiences around the world can see our movie."

"We will leave for the shooting location early tomorrow morning. We won't drink today. After the film is finished, we will not return until we are drunk."

There was a cheer in the hall.

Everyone knows that drinking can cause trouble, and the movie will be released simultaneously around the world, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with not drinking at this dinner.

The hall soon became lively. After all, they are all old acquaintances and are very familiar with each other.

"After visiting Shunli Shanshui Manor, I suddenly feel that the food here is basically okay, but there are not many characteristics."

"You are pretending now? Are you starting to dislike the food at Tianling Hotel? I remember that you didn't say that when you first came."

The people around couldn't help laughing and teasing.

The people sitting at the main table were also chatting.

Liu Qian and Xin Zhi seemed to have endless topics to talk about. From their faces, it can be seen that they were very happy to chat, from the script to daily life and even gossip in the circle.

Ma Guoliang sat next to Tan Yue. When the two came out of the company, they kept talking about issues related to the role.

Ma Guoliang's title of drama idiot is not for nothing. As long as he got the script, he began to treat himself as a character in the movie. This is also the reason why he couldn't get out of the role for a long time after the filming was completed.

After such a long period of research, he has many ideas about the cognition of the characters.

However, whether it can be shown in the movie in the end depends on Tan Yue.

Ma Guoliang often looked thoughtful, and he was thinking about Tan Yue's words carefully.

Although there was no drinking, the atmosphere of the whole dinner was quite good. The dinner lasted for nearly an hour.

"Mr. Tan, we will go back first."

Liu Qian and Xin Zhi stood up and prepared to leave.

"Be careful on the road."

Others said goodbye to Tan Yue one after another.

After all the crew members left, Tan Yue and Ma Guoliang walked back to the company and came to the parking lot.

"Mr. Tan, go slowly on the road."

"You too, go to bed early and leave early tomorrow morning."

Tan Yue drove slowly out of the parking lot.

Ma Guoliang returned to the car and did not leave in a hurry. He took out the script on the passenger seat.

The script in his hand seemed to have experienced some disaster, with wrinkles, water stains, and even a little oil stains.

No matter where he went, the script almost never left Ma Guoliang's sight.

If he hadn't asked Tan Yue questions about the characters in the movie, he would have taken this script to the dinner.

Looking through the script, it was already filled with densely packed marks of various colors.

Ma Guoliang wrote down some of his thoughts tonight before driving out of the parking lot.

The next day, early in the morning.

The crew of "The Truman Show" rushed to the airport, and the Brilliant Entertainment Company chartered a special plane.

Considering that it would be difficult for employees to come to the airport together, they specially chartered a bus to depart at the company gate.

Some people on the bus were very excited.

"It's my first time going there. I checked it online and it's very beautiful."

"What's fun?"

"Please pay attention to your attitude. We are going to work... Well, I'll tell you what's there."

Tan Yue sat in Chen Ziyu's car, left Ruishan Community, and drove on the way to the airport.

Chen Ziyu instructed: "Call me when you get there."

Tan Yue nodded and said "um": "It should take about five hours to reach the destination."

After arriving there, you have to take a car to the pier, and finally take a boat to the island.

The two of them talked and soon arrived at the airport.

Tan Yue boarded the plane from the VIP channel, and more than 20 minutes later, the plane took off.

Since boarding the plane, Ma Guoliang has been holding the script in his hand, but he has not read it. Instead, he hugged his stomach, closed his eyes and lay on his back on the chair, with a layer of sweat on his forehead.

My stomach growled and I wanted to go to the toilet.

I drank a sip of cold water in the morning and now I have a stomachache.

After the plane entered the stratosphere, I heard the stewardess say that I could walk around to the toilet at will, so Ma Guoliang couldn't wait to go to the toilet with the script.

It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that Ma Guoliang realized that he was still in the toilet. Without the physical restraints, he was too fascinated by studying the script just now.

After walking out of the toilet, Ma Guoliang's attention was still on the script in his hand, and he didn't notice the stewardess holding coffee next to him.

As expected, Ma Guoliang knocked over the coffee.

"Sorry!"

"Sorry!"

The two people spoke at the same time.

"I was reading the script and didn't notice you. Sorry!" Ma Guoliang expressed his apology.

"I didn't notice you. Didn't I spill it on your clothes?"

The stewardess became more nervous.

"No."

Ma Guoliang returned to his seat with the script.

The stewardess quickly cleaned up the coffee spilled in the cabin, and her eyes looked at Ma Guoliang from time to time.

After packing up, he hesitated for a moment, encouraged himself in his heart and walked to Ma Guoliang's side.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ma, can I bother you for a moment?"

"You say." Ma Guoliang put down the script in his hand.

"Can you sign for me?" The stewardess's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Of course no problem."

Ma Guoliang signed his name, and in order to express his apology for knocking over the coffee, he took the initiative to take a photo.

The stewardess did not leave, and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Ma, can I leave your contact information?"

"Sorry, this is not convenient."

Ma Guoliang refused very straightforwardly.

Colleagues around who saw this scene shook their heads and sighed: "Mr. Ma is just a piece of wood."
