Chapter 908 The Selection of the Heroine

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue picked up the last file sent by Chen Ye this morning and read it carefully.

The plan to promote the singer's album last time has been launched. The first song in the album has been exclusively released on Penguin Music, and it has achieved quite good results.

Tan Yue took a general look at the download data of each period on the file. For a new singer, the results are not bad.

The file was closed and put aside. Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and called Ma Guoliang.

The phone beeped for a few seconds. Tan Yue thought Ma Guoliang was filming and was about to hang up.

"Mr. Tan." At this time, the phone was suddenly connected, and Ma Guoliang's voice came from the phone.

He was discussing some acting problems with other actors on the set.

After filming for so long, Ma Guoliang's role was basically done in one take, and many actors came to him to ask for advice on acting.

Ma Guoliang also knew everything, which made everyone feel very friendly, without the slightest posture of a big star.

Therefore, when they saw that he had free time, actors would come over.

Everyone noticed an interesting thing on the set. Ma Guoliang basically never sat down, so many people thought it was a kind of professional ethics, which made him even more admirable.

Little did they know that he couldn't sit down at all.

"Mr. Ma, how is the recent filming?"

Ma Guoliang said: "The set is very orderly under the command of Director Lin, and the filming progress is very fast."

Although this is Lin Qingye's first time filming an anti-criminal crime drama, he has been a director for many years and has a very solid foundation in directing. After a short period of adaptation, coupled with the mature acting skills of the actors, everything was filmed according to the normal progress.

Tan Yue held the phone in his left hand and turned the pen in his right hand, saying: "That's good, how long will it take for your part to end."

Ma Guoliang thought for a moment and replied: "According to the current filming progress, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be finished in about half a month."

For a "drama fanatic", the set is his favorite place to be. But this time, Ma Guoliang only wanted to finish his part as soon as possible.

In such a hot environment, the possibility of wanting to recover is basically small.

Tan Yue on the other end of the phone nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "After your part is finished, come back to me."

"Okay." Although he didn't know what was going on, Ma Guoliang still agreed directly.

"The weather has been hot recently, so pay more attention to rest on the set. If there is a lack of heat relief items there, let Director Lin report directly to the company."

A few days ago, after hearing Lin Qingye report that several staff members on the set had heatstroke, Tan Yue was particularly concerned about this matter and asked him to readjust the shooting time. The shooting progress of the TV series can be slow, but it cannot affect the safety of any employee.

"Now there is a large freezer on the set, and everyone can eat popsicles and fruits at any time."

The two chatted on the phone for a while and then ended the call.

Ma Guoliang looked at the phone and wondered what Mr. Tan would come to him about?

Usually, Tan Yue was entangled in various things in the company, and rarely came to him except for shooting tasks. Now that "Kuangbi" has just started not long ago, there should be no new film and television works to shoot.

What was that about?

"Teacher Ma, it's your turn." The assistant director's words brought Ma Guoliang back to his thoughts.

"I'll be there right away."

Ma Guoliang picked up the script and handed his phone to his assistant for safekeeping. He stopped speculating on the matter. He would know it when the time came.

Tan Yue put down his phone and temporarily selected Ma Guoliang as the candidate for the protagonist of "Forrest Gump".

Now that the script has just been completed, there is still a lot of work to do, polishing the script, selecting actors, and preparing props. Not to mention half a month, it may not be possible to start filming even if it takes another month to prepare.

No matter what role Ma Guoliang plays, Tan Yue is particularly confident in him. He picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea and began to consider the candidate for the heroine. Xin Zhi played the sister-in-law in "The Storm" and was not considered.

Looking at the character biography on the computer, Tan Yue touched his chin and opened the company's artist list. Since he wanted to gain something at the Paris Film Festival, every role in the movie needed to be carefully considered.

There are many female artists under the company, but not many can really carry the banner.

Swiping the computer screen, Tan Yue saw Liu Qian.

Liu Qian's acting skills are also first-class in the entire Brilliant Entertainment Company.

Tan Yue thought about it carefully from all aspects. Such a role should be manageable for her.

Then Chen Ye was called to the office.

"Xiao Ye, go to the artist management department to see if Liu Xi is in the company now. If she is, ask her to come over. I have something to talk to her about."

Chen Ye responded and closed the door and went out to find Liu Xi.

Artist Management Department.

Liu Xi was reading a book about acting in her office. She asked Ma Guoliang for advice on this book. Since she opened the first page, she felt that this book was right and learned a lot of useful things from it.

In fact, she had already finished reading the book in her hand, but she felt that there were still many things in it that she had not mastered.

When reading it for the second time, Liu Xi not only studied it word by word, but also recorded many things in the form of notes.

There is little news about Liu Xi on the Internet during this period. The main reason is that she has not been filming or taking any commercial activities. She has spent all her time studying.

She has always felt that her acting skills need to be improved.

Reading the contents of the book, Liu Qian pondered the meaning.

‘Knock, knock, knock. ’ Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Liu Qian put down the book in her hand and said, “Come in.”

“Ms. Chen, why are you here? Is there anything?”

Chen Ye and the deputy director of the artist department asked and knew that Liu Qian was in the company, so he went directly to the office to find her and went straight to the point: “Teacher Liu, Mr. Tan asked you to go to the office.”

“Really?” Before closing the book, Liu Qian put a yellow sticky note in the book. She often easily forgot where she saw it. She took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go over there. Don’t keep Mr. Tan waiting for a long time.”

The two chatted all the way and got on the elevator.

“Xiao Ye, your dress is so beautiful!”

“I just bought it online a few days ago. I have been eyeing this skirt for a long time. It’s a bit expensive and I haven’t bought it. In the end, I couldn’t help it and bought it with gritted teeth.” Chen Ye still feels a little painful when he thinks about it now. Although it’s a bit expensive, he now feels that it’s worth the price.

Liu Qian touched her skirt and said, "Send me a link later, I want to buy one too."

"No problem."

'Ding Dong' the elevator door opened, and the two arrived at the CEO's office on the top floor.

Chen Ye knocked on the door gently and said, "Mr. Tan, Teacher Liu Qian is here."

"Come in." Tan Yue arranged, "Xiao Ye, pour a cup of tea."

"Okay."

"Sit down."

Liu Qian said, "Thank you, Mr. Tan."

"What are you busy with recently?"

There are many artists under the company, and Tan Yue is still busy with many tasks, so he has no energy to pay attention to the work arrangements of each artist.

"This period of time is considered a semi-resting state. Most of the time I am studying and improving my abilities, and the rest of the time I go to some places to relax."

"It's actually good to take a break for a while and summarize it well." Tan Yue looked at a document and said, "No schedule recently, right?"

This document is a list of artists who have schedules in the past month, and Liu Qian's name does not appear.

"Not yet." Liu Qian took the cup with both hands and said to Chen Ye: "Thank you."

She was actually a little anxious. The quality of the script was the most important thing now.

After Chen Ye closed the door and went out, Tan Yue took out a document and said: "This is a biography of the heroine of a movie. You should learn about it first."

Liu Qian was stunned at first. She had some guesses in her mind when she came, but she couldn't help but feel happy and excited when she heard Tan Yue's words at this moment. She took a deep breath and took the document.

There is another reason why she hasn't taken on a role, that is, she hasn't found a suitable script.

With Liu Qian's current fame in the entertainment industry, it is not difficult to take on a role, but she is a person who is responsible for her future. Taking a role casually will damage the reputation that the actor has accumulated in the hearts of the audience.

Liu Qian is very sure that this movie must be written by Tan Yue.

Because Liu Qian has not taken on a play written by other screenwriters from Tan Yue.

Liu Qian thought a lot before coming, but she didn't expect to be the heroine in the movie.

Her heart was filled with surprise. Now everyone knows that "Kuang Biao" is a TV drama written by Tan Yue. I didn't expect that he would write a movie soon.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Take a look first, and tell me your understanding of this character later."

Liu Qian nodded and read it carefully.

Tan Yue did not interrupt her and began to lower his head to deal with documents.

Twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

Tan Yue looked up at Liu Qian and saw that she was still studying the character biography seriously.

In order to highlight the integrity of the character, when introducing the character, there was also a part of the plot in the movie. Liu Qian was a little obsessed.

Tan Yue coughed lightly and asked tentatively, "What do you think of this role?"

Liu Qian put down the script, thought for a while and said, "Her life can be described as tragic. It was because she experienced such cruel things when she was a child that her character changed so subversively later."

Liu Qian said a lot, and Tan Yue sat opposite her and listened without saying a word. He wanted to see how much Liu Qian had mastered the character in such a short time.

Before she knew it, Liu Qian had been talking for more than ten minutes.

The book on improving acting skills also introduced how to understand a character. Liu Qian combined her own experience with what she had learned during this period, and she felt that her control over the characters in the play had improved a lot.

"Mr. Tan, the above is my understanding of this role." Liu Qian took a sip of water from the cup to moisten her throat.

Tan nodded and said, "You have made great progress in controlling the character. Only when you can truly understand the character can you know how to act. The characteristics of the heroine you mentioned are all good."

Liu Qian had completed the first level set by Tan Yue for her.

Tan Yue was still very pleased. Both Liu Qian and Xin Zhi's acting skills were first-class in the company, and the actors were of high quality. They could try this role.

He did whatever he wanted to do, and he didn't have the problem of procrastination.

"You try this scene." Tan Yue pointed to a scene in the character biography.

This clip was when 'Forrest Gump' and the heroine met again after they separated.

Even if we audition today, as long as Liu Xi's performance can meet the requirements, she can be selected to play the leading role in "Forrest Gump".

"Okay, Mr. Tan, I'll get ready."

"Okay."

Liu Xi swallowed her saliva, and suddenly felt a little nervous, or perhaps more excited.

During this period, he has been studying and neglected practice. An actor will never go far if he only learns knowledge from books.

And such a long preparation is also to firmly grasp this opportunity when this day comes.

Tan Yue not only has works in TV series and movies, but also has a high output. Compared with the speed of other directors, there is no comparison at all. There are many opportunities, but not many suitable for him. Liu Qian put away his thoughts and adjusted his breathing, then calmed his excitement and began to study this plot carefully.

In addition, according to some knowledge he learned from books, he imagined scenes in his mind.

Tan Yue didn't know how much time had passed, and only heard Liu Qian say: "Mr. Tan, I'm ready."

"Then let's start." Tan Yue put down the work in his hands.

Liu Qian took a deep breath to adjust her state, stood up from the chair, and started her performance.

For every actor who auditions, Tan Yue has his own requirements, from language skills to body movements. As long as one of them does not meet the requirements, they will eventually be eliminated.

Although Liu Qian hadn't acted for a while, she was completely immersed in the plot after Tan Yue said so.

Now Tan Yue found that Liu Qian could not only tell what kind of personality the heroine had in a short time, but also acted vividly. Compared with the past, she had made great progress.

"Mr. Tan, my performance is over." After the performance, Liu Qian was like a different person, with completely different temperaments from the character in the play.

Now she was extremely nervous. This was a rare opportunity. As long as she passed, she could play Mr. Tan's new work, and she would be the heroine in it.

Liu Qian was also recalling whether she had performed poorly in her audition just now.

"Come, sit down and have a rest, drink some water." Tan Yue praised: "You acted very well just now, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Thank you, Mr. Tan."

"It seems that what you have learned during this period is very useful. You have made a lot of progress compared to the last time you filmed," Tan Yue said: "I will let other actors in the company learn more from you in the future."

Liu Qian waved her hand and explained: "Recently, I read a book about acting recommended by Teacher Ma. I personally feel that it is very useful."

"I see, I will ask him when he comes back."

"Some of the issues discussed in this book are quite detailed, very good."

After talking about other topics, Tan Yue smiled and said: "Your performance today makes me feel relieved. This role is yours. Here is the script, you can also take a look."
