Chapter 959 Finalized

For nearly half an hour, Liu Qian was immersed in the script, and had a deeper understanding of the role of Shen Mo. She felt sympathy for the character's experience, and gradually put herself into the role.

Out of professional habit, Liu Qian thought about her actions and expressions in her mind while reading the script.

Time passed unknowingly, and Tan Yue did not interrupt her, concentrating on her work.

After all, she was still in the office, so Liu Qian could not think about the plot repeatedly. She first had a general understanding of the overall plot and initially grasped the character's personality characteristics.

"Mr. Tan, I have finished reading the script."

The roles are different, and of course the scripts in everyone's hands will be very different.

Just like Liu Qian is going to play the role of 'Shen Mo', the scripts she holds are all related to 'Shen Mo'.

"Try a scene?"

"No problem." Liu Qian nodded.

Although the time is relatively short, it is not a big problem for her, she is already an old actor.

Tan Yue flipped through the script, pointed to a clip and said, "Let's do this one. You prepare for a while."

"Okay."

Liu Qian once again read the script carefully. Unlike last time, she stood up this time and made some gestures according to the content of the script. She frowned and thought from time to time.

Since she was going to audition, all the details must be in place.

To act well in a scene, not only body movements are needed, but also expression is the top priority.

Tan Yue finished his work here and looked up at Liu Qian who was thinking about the plot.

Liu Qian just put down the script: "I'm ready."

"Let's start." Tan Yue was looking forward to this. How much did Liu Qian master about this role in such a short time?

On the set, because of Ma Guoliang's presence, it was easy to be overlooked.

However, as a director, Tan Yue needs to control the overall situation and know the status of each actor.

Especially Liu Qian, who has experienced the baptism of "The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump", her acting skills have been improving. Although there is still a gap compared to Ma Guoliang, his acting skills are definitely top-notch for the entire actor circle.

Liu Qian took a deep breath to adjust her state, let herself get into the role, and the audition began.

Tan Yue watched carefully, with admiration for Liu Qian in his heart.

Her acting skills have improved a lot! And it has improved more than when she was filming "Forrest Gump".

Under the influence of Ma Guoliang, Liu Qian likes to hold some books to think about her acting skills when she has no scenes to shoot, and she also asks Ma Guoliang some questions from time to time.

She is already an old actor, and the audition does not take too long. As long as she can perform the feeling of the role, she will pass the audition.

After the performance, Liu Qian asked expectantly: "Mr. Tan, how is my scene?"

Tan Yue nodded and said: "Very good! I haven't seen it for a while and I have made progress. It is a wise decision to learn from Teacher Ma."

"Teacher Ma is now a role model for all actors to learn from. With such a good resource around, we must make good use of it."

Tan Yue smiled. As Liu Qian said, many actors in the company often ask Ma Guoliang questions.

Tan Yue returned to the topic: "You passed the audition, and the role of Shen Mo is now yours."

"Thank you, Mr. Tan!"

"Go back and prepare. I'll let you know when the start time is set."

Liu Qian excitedly left the office holding the script.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Qian Tao came to the president's office with a folder and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Tan Yue's voice came from the office.

Qian Tao opened the door and went in: "Mr. Tan, this is the list of actors for "The Long Season". Please take a look."

The TV series is short, so the number of actors required is relatively small, so it is relatively easy to select.

The story of this drama takes place in the Northeast, so when selecting actors, Qian Tao's eyes are mainly locked on actors from the Northeast.

After continuous searching, querying, and comparing, he found the list that Tan Yue was looking through at this time.

In the process of selecting actors, the role of Gong Biao gave him a headache, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Tan Yue suddenly. The role already had a suitable candidate, which saved a lot of trouble.

Tan Yue looked at the long list and found several familiar names, who were artists under the company.

Some actors are in an awkward position. They have good acting skills and have left an impression in the minds of the audience, but it is difficult to let them play the leading role in a play.

In short, they are still unable to support a play on their own.

This requires a process of continuous accumulation and continuous enrichment of their acting skills.

Such actors are especially likely to appear in hit dramas.

There are many such artists under the company of Brilliant Company at present, and they need to be honed through a large number of scripts.

After reading the list, Tan Yue's eyes were fixed on 'Ma Desheng'.

'Ma Desheng' also has a lot of roles in the play. He is considered the third male in the play, and the requirements for acting skills are also quite high.

Tan Yue frowned and thought seriously, thinking that the actor on the list needs to be considered again.

Qian Tao suddenly became nervous and asked tentatively: "Is it that which actor is not suitable?"

"Well, Ma Desheng is also a very important role. I think this actor is still a little bit off. I have never had that feeling on him. Let me think about which actor is more suitable."

The office was quiet, but Qian Tao was not idle either, and was also brainstorming to find the right person.

Tan Yue rubbed his temples and suddenly said, "I think maybe Jiao Cheng can give it a try."

Jiao Cheng's acting skills are naturally beyond reproach, and this role should not be too difficult for him.

Qian Tao also considered Jiao Cheng when selecting an actor for 'Ma Desheng', but because he was not from the Northeast, he did not think much about it. Now he thinks he should think more about it.

"There is no problem with the other actors. Leave Jiao Cheng's matter to me. You go back first."

"Okay."

After Qian Tao left, Tan Yue took his mobile phone to the window and called Jiao Cheng.

More than ten seconds later, Jiao Cheng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Tan."

"Teacher Jiao, I am preparing to shoot a TV series here. There is a role in it. I think you are quite suitable. When do you have time to come and try it?" Tan Yue knew that Jiao Cheng had been filming in other places recently, and wanted to find a time when he was free.

"That's great. I have time now." Jiao Cheng's voice was full of excitement.

His play had just finished, and he was planning to take a break. Now Tan Yue's play was more important, so he agreed without thinking.

"Haha, OK, come over now and try out a scene."

"I'll be back soon."

Tan Yue said "hmm", hung up the phone, and stood by the window to rest for a while.

...

Afternoon.

Tan Yue was looking at a new file, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, temporarily put down the work in his hands: "Come in."

Chen Ye opened the door and said: "Mr. Tan, Teacher Jiao Cheng is here."

"So fast!" Tan Yue put the file aside: "Let him in."

"Mr. Tan." Jiao Cheng sat opposite Tan Yue.

"Teacher Jiao, we haven't seen each other for a while, right?"

Jiao Cheng thought for a while: "Since I took the role, I have been filming outside, and I haven't been back to the company for five months."

While the two were chatting, Chen Ye served two cups of tea to the two.

Tan Yue continued, "Has the play been finished?"

Jiao Cheng is the male lead in the play. Since he has time to come here now, it is likely that the filming has been completed.

"It was completed two days ago, and some clips were reshot yesterday."

"Time is so tight, do you want to take a break for a while?"

Jiao Cheng immediately said, "I have no problem. The play is more important than rest, and it is also a kind of rest when I am familiar with the script. Before filming, I am confident that I can adjust my state and will never skip scenes."

Tan Yue said "hmm" lightly, took out the script, character biography and story outline of "The Long Season" from the folder, and introduced: "This is a relatively short TV series called "The Long Season", which is a suspense drama. Your character's name is Ma Desheng, and you are the third male in the play."

Jiao Cheng took the script. No matter which male role it was, as long as it was Tan Yue's play, he was very interested.

"Who is the director of this play, is it still Director Lin?"

In recent years, the TV series scripts written by Tan Yue have all been shot by Lin Qingye, so Jiao Cheng subconsciously thought that Lin Qingye was the director.

"I'll shoot this drama."

"Ah!?" Lin Qingye was obviously a little surprised.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "I've been shooting movies all the time, and I want to shoot a TV series to change my mood."

Jiao Cheng was full of emotion: others who have transformed into movie directors can't wait to shoot movies every day, and Mr. Tan is indeed different from others. After the emotion, he was very excited. He had great confidence in the script, and now he is even more confident.

Tan Yue took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry about these things. You read the script first, and I'll tell you about the general plot."

After Tan Yue's introduction, Jiao Cheng had a preliminary understanding of "The Long Season".

"This is a very interesting script." Jiao Cheng directly expressed his feelings. "The Long Season" not only has the tension and excitement of suspense dramas, but also the ease and humor of family dramas. It can perfectly combine these two types, and the screenwriter's skills are getting deeper and deeper.

"Look at the character biography, and I'll tell you about the role of Ma Desheng."

Jiao Cheng opened the character biography, and when he was familiar with the script, Jiao Cheng knew that 'Ma Desheng' was a retired criminal policeman.

Tan Yue introduced: "Ma Desheng was once a respected criminal police captain, who had been working hard to find out the truth of the dismemberment case."

"After retirement, he became the dance king of the senior university. Although he had taken off his police uniform, Ma Desheng never forgot the case. When Wang Xiang asked him for help, he agreed without hesitation."

"Although he has been retired for many years, in the process of tracking down the driver of the fake license plate car, Ma Desheng still remained highly alert to the case."

Tan Yue introduced this to let Jiao Cheng know Ma Desheng's character.

After a brief explanation, plus his own understanding, Jiao Cheng had a comprehensive understanding of the character of "Ma Desheng".

Then Tan Yue found a part of the play and asked Jiao Cheng to prepare for the audition later.

Jiao Cheng borrowed a pen and sat on the sofa to study the script alone.

This is his personal habit. Whenever he reads a script, he will write something on it to help himself better understand the character.

Besides, this is an audition, so he needs to fill in some content.

Time passed minute by minute, and words were written in the blank spaces of a short plot.

Jiao Cheng went through the whole process in his mind again, so that he could think clearly during the audition.

Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

"Mr. Tan, I'm ready, let's audition."

"OK."

Tan Yue just took a glass of water, took the cup and sat down on the independent sofa in front of the coffee table.

Jiao Cheng put the script aside, stood up and adjusted his state, entered the role and started the audition.

As an old actor, this role is naturally a piece of cake. This scene is a clip of 'Ma Desheng' after he was old, and he is quite experienced in this aspect.

When he played the director in "The Truman Show", he also went to learn about the elderly.

Although the two roles are completely different, there are still similarities. Under Jiao Cheng's fully devoted performance, 'Ma Desheng' appeared in front of Tan Yue.

"Not bad!" Tan Yue praised and applauded.

Although there is still a gap compared with Ma Guoliang, it is also quite good.

"It seems that my idea is not wrong." Tan Yue said: "This role will be played by you, Mr. Jiao."

Jiao Cheng said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Tan!"

As long as it is a drama of Tan Yue, it will be extremely popular during the broadcast period. What's more, this "Long Season" is a long-lost TV drama of Tan Yue, which will definitely cause heated discussions on the whole network again.

Jiao Cheng also has great expectations for this drama. The plot is compact and not verbose, and it is also full of ups and downs, which is very in line with the audience's taste.

The important things have been solved, and the two chatted while drinking tea.

"Can you dance Latin dance?"

The Latin dance that Tan Yue mentioned is a dance that 'Ma Desheng' learned after retirement.

When it was broadcast on Earth, this plot was also a famous scene in the drama and was imitated by many netizens.

Jiao Cheng shook his head: "I haven't learned this. I'm thinking about finding a Latin dance teacher to learn it well."

Tan Yue also had this idea. For professional things like this, it is best to find a teacher to learn.

"The company also has professional Latin dance teachers. You can go to them."

Many artists under the company are professional dancers.

"Okay." Jiao Cheng sipped his tea and said, "I didn't expect to master another skill."

Old actors like Jiao Cheng will do everything by themselves as long as the plot requires it, and will not use a stand-in. When faced with some special skills, they will think about it carefully before starting the filming. When it comes to skills like Latin dance, they can only learn.

Half an hour later, Jiao Cheng hurriedly left the office. Now the start time has not been determined, but it won't take too long. In the next period of time, he has a lot of tasks to do. Not only do he have to study the script, but he also has to practice Latin dance.
