Chapter 916 Dinner

Tan Yue gently moved the mouse, calculated the time, looked at Zheng Tong, and asked, "Is there enough time?"

Mr. Wu also looked at Zheng Tong.

After all, he was in charge of the preparations.

Zheng Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Enough."

There are still eight days left, although it is a bit tight, but it is enough. The crew has completed the preparations, which means that they need to prepare a start-up ceremony.

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Since it can be prepared, the start time of "Forrest Gump" will be set on November 11."

"No problem." Mr. Wu and Zheng Tong answered at the same time.

Tan Yue said, "Mr. Zheng, then start preparations on Double Eleven. The start-up ceremony does not need to be too complicated. Just hold it simply and go through the motions at that time."

"Understood."

Tan Yue has never liked to waste too much time on the start-up ceremony, and Zheng Tong is also aware of his habits, so eight days is enough to prepare for a start-up ceremony.

Engineer Wu asked, "Should we start the publicity plan now?"

"Don't be too anxious. Just invite a few reporters to the opening ceremony." Tan Yue paused and continued, "The subsequent publicity plan will be discussed after the film is finished."

"Kuang Biu" can be topped on Weibo's hot search just by Tan Yue's name, not to mention the film he directed. Even if this film does not do any publicity, the popularity after its release will definitely not be low.

Tan Yue is synonymous with traffic and good movies. I don't know how many people want to watch his movies.

Of course, there is another point. It is too early to start the publicity plan now. The film will not be a big hit at the box office just because of early publicity, and it is a complete waste of resources.

"Does the film need to be publicized?"

Tan Yue said, "Just post an announcement on the official blog. It is enough to invite a few media to the opening ceremony and report it at that time."

Engineer Wu understood what Tan Yue meant, but he could now consider the general publicity direction in advance and come up with a plan for future publicity.

When it comes to the publicity plan, Zheng Tong remembered that Wu Gong had been traveling abroad during the release of "The Truman Show". If "Forrest Gump" can really be released abroad this time, it might be the same as last time.

The three people chatted for a while in the office meeting, and Wu Gong and Zheng Tong came out of the office, chatting and walking.

Wu Gong asked: "What type of movie is Mr. Tan this time?"

"Inspirational movie."

Wu Gong nodded with an "oh", he was thinking about the publicity direction of the movie.

"Have you thought about how to promote it?"

Wu Gong smiled and replied: "How can it be so fast? Think about it now. Won't it be easier after the task is down?"

Zheng Tong opened his mouth and wanted to say that "Forrest Gump" might be released abroad, but he didn't say it in the end.

After all, Tan Yue has not made it clear on this matter, everything is his own guess.

It is a good thing to be able to be released abroad, but if it cannot be released, wouldn't it make Wu Gong happy in vain?

The two of them walked up to the elevator, and Engineer Wu said with emotion: "Mr. Tan is really fast!"

Every time I reach this point, I can't help but sigh.

"Yes, few people can match Mr. Tan's speed in writing scripts."

Then the two returned to their offices and got busy.

In the blink of an eye, it was November 9, Thursday, afternoon.

Except for the lunch break, Tan Yue has been busy with work. Seeing that it is almost time to get off work, he speeds up the processing of documents.

There is one last document in his hand, from the new media department, which is an application that has been approved and submitted to Tan Yue for review.

The content of the document is to celebrate the fans of a game anchor breaking through six million, and to prepare an event to give back to fans.

"A bit familiar." Looking at the name of the game anchor, Tan Yue frowned slightly, rubbed his temples and recalled carefully: "It turned out to be him!"

This game anchor was seen by Tan Yue when he went to various departments to understand the situation last time. His game movements were extremely exaggerated. He couldn't help but sigh: "The number of fans has increased so fast!"

If you are good at playing games, you are a good person, and you can make things happen, the number of fans will naturally increase quickly, and you will also be valued by the company.

No matter which department, as long as you have the ability, you will be cultivated vigorously by the company.

After reading the document, Tan Yue took a deep breath, rubbed his dry eyes, and called Chen Ye to the office.

"Xiao Ye, you send this document to the TV series department."

"Okay, Mr. Tan."

Watching Chen Ye leave, Tan Yue took off the massager on his neck, stood up and moved his body. He hadn't moved in the afternoon.

Standing by the window and looking at the scenery outside the window, he rested for a while.

Tan Yue drank the remaining water in the cup, turned off the computer, tidied up the desktop, and went to the office next door.

"Have you finished your work?"

Chen Ziyu shook his head and said, "Not yet. I may have to work overtime today."

Tan Yue has a lot of files, and Chen Ziyu has even more.

"Put on the massager!" Tan Yue noticed that the massager was on the desk.

Chen Ziyu rubbed his eyes and smiled, "I was so busy that I didn't think about it."

Tan Yue picked up the massager and came behind Chen Ziyu: "Turn it on."

Chen Ziyu opened the software on his phone, the massager started, and he immediately felt much more comfortable.

"You have to take a break even if you're busy at work."

Chen Ziyu took a sip of water and nodded. However, she really didn't feel like resting until she finished her work.

"Ziyu, the crew is having a dinner party tonight. I have to go back later."

The dinner party for "Forrest Gump" was scheduled for today.

Chen Ziyu nodded and reminded him, "Drink less alcohol at night."

Tan Yue rubbed Chen Ziyu's shoulders and said, "I won't drink too much. The opening ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. Let's get familiar with it today."

Chen Ziyu said "hmm" lightly, closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a few minutes, and said, "Go quickly, don't make everyone wait anxiously."

Looking at Chen Ziyu's tired look, Tan Yue felt very distressed: "Go back and rest early at night, don't work overtime."

"There are two last documents. I'll go back after I finish them. It won't take too long."

"Okay." Tan Yue knew Chen Ziyu's character. He would not go back until he finished them, so he didn't say anything more.

"I'm leaving first. Be careful when you go home tonight."

"You too, if you drink, call me and I'll pick you up."

Tan Yue closed the door and left. Chen Ziyu picked up the pen and lowered her head to continue working.

She was most tired mentally. As the boss of the company, every document submitted must be treated strictly. Any careless decision may have a great impact on the company.

When Tan Yue went out, he saw Ma Guoliang coming.

"Mr. Tan."

"Let's go."

Ma Guoliang came to find Tan Yue to go to Tianling Hotel together.

While waiting for the elevator, Tan Yue asked, "How is the script?"

"There is no problem." Ma Guoliang was very confident when he spoke. Since he got the script, he has been studying it. He loves it every day. The blank space on the script is full of words, and every plot is analyzed very thoroughly.

People outside know that his acting skills are perfect and he can act like anything, but no one knows the efforts he has made behind the scenes.

Tan Yue laughed and said, "I look forward to your performance."

Ma Guoliang smiled slightly.

'Ding Dong' the elevator door opened.

"Hello, Mr. Tan."

"Are you here to see Mr. Chen?"

The person who came down from the elevator was Qin Tao, the director of the artist management department.

"Yes, I have something to do with Mr. Chen." Qin Tao was holding a document in her hand.

"Go ahead, she's in the office now."

"Okay."

Tan Yue and Ma Guoliang got on the elevator.

"The role of Forrest Gump is still very difficult. You must have studied a lot of information recently, right?"

"Thanks to the video you sent me, it's very detailed." In addition to the script, what Ma Guoliang watched the most was some video materials of low-intelligence people.

We all have some understanding of this kind of people in real life or in videos. If you don't act well, you won't be able to let the audience immerse themselves in the role and integrate into the plot.

If you want to act well, you must see what they really look like, not just imagine.

Tan Yue was thinking about finding some relevant information for Ma Guoliang, and happened to see a video of a type of scientific research program on the Internet, one of which introduced the daily life of low-intelligence people.

On the first day when he got the video, Ma Guoliang didn't sleep all night. He studied and imitated it repeatedly in the study room. Now he has a full understanding of this kind of people and believes that he can play the role of "Forrest Gump" well.

Ma Guoliang did not hide his happiness and said, "I think this is a good opportunity for me to broaden my acting career."

Drama fans like different roles. Every time they master a role, it is like passing a difficult hurdle for them.

Tan Yue joked, "Teacher Ma, if you continue to broaden your acting career, there will be no room for other actors."

"I want to, too."

The two laughed in the elevator.

Although Tan Yue said a joke, in his heart he really hopes that Ma Guoliang's acting career will become wider and wider and try more new challenges. After staying in a comfortable circle for a long time, people will become lazier and less motivated.

The elevator stopped at the first floor, and the two walked down the elevator one after the other.

The surrounding employees greeted them one after another.

Ma Guoliang and Tan Yue nodded and waved to respond to the employees.

"What are your plans for the future?"

The two came out of the company gate wearing masks.

Ma Guoliang said without thinking: "I want to stay in the acting industry until I can no longer play any roles. Of course, if no director wants me, I will have to retire."

Since he just entered this industry, he set this goal for himself. Ma Guoliang loves acting very much.

"With your acting skills, I'm afraid all the directors in the circle will scramble for you."

"One wave is stronger than another, maybe one day you will be beaten on the beach."

As they talked, the two of them quickly arrived at Tianling Hotel.

"Mr. Tan, please come in." The staff recognized Tan Yue at a glance.

Tan Yue is a frequent visitor of this hotel, and all the staff of the hotel know him.

Led by the staff, Tan Yue and Ma Guoliang went to the Peony Hall together.

At this time, the Peony Hall was very lively, and most of them were artists from the same company, and they were very familiar with each other.

"Many actors this time are artists from the company."

"Yes, Director Lin's TV series also has many artists from the company."

"I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to play a role in Mr. Tan's movie in my life."

"Can you be more promising and learn more from me? You can remain calm even when the sky is falling. These are just small scenes."

The person on the side laughed and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know who it is. When he first heard that this was Mr. Tan's movie two days ago, he jumped up?"

"I'm pretending. Can you stop exposing my shortcomings? I'm not kidding you. Although the brothers are only a supporting role in it, this is our opportunity. You should know how many people want to play a role in Mr. Tan's movie."

A circle of people nodded frantically. After hearing that this was Tan Yue's movie, everyone's reaction was similar. They all understood that the opportunity was rare, and they tried their best to show their talents in the movie and try to perform well in front of Tan Yue.

"Do you know who the protagonist of this movie is?"

"Not sure yet, you can see it at the party." He pointed to the main table while speaking.

"The heroine should be Liu Qian."

"You actually said some nonsense. Everyone saw it."

Liu Qian arrived at Tianling Hotel relatively early.

"I just don't know who the male lead is. He should come with Mr. Tan tonight."

As everyone was talking and chatting, some people came to the Peony Hall one after another. Soon, they saw Tan Yue and Ma Guoliang appear at the door.

"Mr. Tan."

"Mr. Ma."

Everyone in the Peony Hall came forward to greet him.

"It turned out to be Mr. Ma Guoliang!"

"I met Mr. Ma at the company yesterday. At that time, I thought he was the protagonist of this movie, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"I just don't know if there is a chance to play opposite Mr. Ma. I want to ask him some questions about acting."

"Hello, everyone, go back and sit down." Tan Yue was in front of the scene, and Ma Guoliang followed behind.

Everyone returned to their seats, and the two came to the main table.

"Mr. Tan." Liu Qian had already stood up.

"When did you come?"

"It wasn't long ago."

"Sit down, we are all old acquaintances, so don't be polite." Tan Yue went directly to the main seat and arranged: "Mr. Ma, sit next to me."

Liu Qian and Ma Guoliang sat on both sides of Tan Yue respectively.

At the main table were Zheng Tong, Manager Liu, the assistant director who had worked with him many times, and several important characters in the movie.

Everyone started chatting. Ma Guoliang, who had not drunk, looked completely socially anxious. He sat aside and did not speak, listening to others chatting.

At this time, Zheng Tong called the secretary over and asked in a low voice: "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone is here."

Zheng Tong nodded, asked the secretary to leave, and turned around and said: "Mr. Tan, everyone is here."

"Okay, let's start, arrange for the waiter to serve the food."
