Chapter 960 The Future Mother-in-Law Is Coming

Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue dealt with the work at hand.

"The Long Season" is about to start filming. Although the shooting cycle does not take too long, it is still necessary to plan their respective tasks for each department.

This filming must have taken place in China. Just filming required most of Tan Yue's energy, and it was difficult to find time to manage the company's affairs.

All departments are in a stable stage of development and cannot make any mistakes.

After finishing the planning of the new media department, Tan Yue took a short break and started working again.

The program department has recently spent most of its energy on variety shows in cooperation with Penguin Video, which is now also the company's focus.

Therefore, in the next period of time, the program department will focus on this variety show.

Tan Yue thought for a moment, then typed on the keyboard and started writing a plan.

Not long after I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue temporarily put down his work, looked up at the door, and saw that the person coming in was Qian Tao, holding a thick stack of bound paper in his hand.

Qian Tao came to the opposite side and said: "This is the revised split-shot script. Some places have been revised according to your requirements. Can you take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be revised?"

Tan Yue took the script and read it carefully.

The script is "The Long Season". The storyboard script has been revised many times, but there are always some glitches and it does not meet the requirements.

Shot splitting is very important. It is an important basis for reference when shooting. It also divides the content to be shown in the entire film to form the basic shooting unit - shot, and labels each shot with the shot number and scene.

If the storyboard script is not done well, it will greatly affect the shooting progress.

Qian Tao couldn't help but feel a little nervous after revising it many times. His eyes drifted towards Tan Yue from time to time, trying to guess whether he could pass this time through his expression.

This time, Tan Yue did not check word for word like before. He skipped over the parts that had no problems and looked at the places where problems had occurred before.

“This place is finally error-free.”

Hearing this, Qian Tao felt slightly relieved in his heart. The mistake Tan Yue mentioned has been revised several times, but has never been properly resolved.

He led several screenwriters to follow Tan Yue's requirements and with the help of relevant information, finally achieved results.

For the next more than forty minutes, Tan Yue remained silent, focusing all his attention on the storyboard script.

One can imagine Qian Tao's mental state. Every second seems like a year. If he is still not satisfied this time, he will doubt his ability.

Tan Yue put down the storyboard script and said, "There is no problem this time."

He is still satisfied with the modifications made by the TV series department. There were so many revisions in the middle. It's not that he was faulting. The details of every scene in a suspense drama are very important. If anything is not done well, it may affect the plot. In particular, there are three timelines in "The Long Season", and each era presents a different feeling.

Qian Tao was finally able to let go of his worries. For the past few nights, he had been dreaming about revising the script, and he was under great pressure.

Tan Yue put the scene scripts together and arranged: "The list of audition actors has been determined. Let's find a time to start auditioning."

Several main actors have already been selected, and other casting matters are left to Qian Tao.

"In addition, this time the audition process was filmed, and I won't go to the scene. The video will be sent to me directly after it is over."

Qian Tao nodded and understood what Tan Yue meant.

He presided over the audition process, and the final result was decided by Tan Yuelai.

Although he didn't have much decision-making power, Qian Tao was quite happy in his heart. A single scene script has been revised many times. If I had to choose other characters in "The Long Season" by myself, I would definitely lose sleep.

The list of audition actors is selected by oneself, and the audition still depends on the actors' own on-the-spot performance.

"Then the result will be"

Tan Yue said: "Let the actors who are auditioning go back and wait for notification first. When the results are available, I will notify you to send them a message."

"knew."

Qian Tao didn't stay any longer after getting the new assignment. He was going back to prepare for the audition.

The crew's preparatory work has already begun, and it won't take too long to complete. When the time comes, the start-up time cannot be delayed because the actors are not familiar with the script.

"The Long Season" is a relatively short TV series, and Tan Yue didn't want to spend too much time on it.

The focus of the company's development is movies.

Tan Yue was the only one left in the office again. He put aside the storyboards for the time being and continued writing the program department's plans.

It won't take too long, and the plan is relatively simple.

Below are the TV series department and film department.

The TV drama department has two dramas currently being filmed, and currently plans to continue buying new scripts. As for the results, Tan Yue still needs to approve them.

There is no rush in the TV drama department. It is just an idea now. If I really come across a good script, I will take some time to read it even during the filming period.

The film department has a new film in the preparation stage. Of course, it is intended for domestic audiences and will not be released simultaneously abroad.

Bright Entertainment Company is still in the accumulation stage in the international entertainment industry, and its reputation cannot be affected.

As for when to make a movie and what kind of movie to make, Tan Yue has no idea yet. He will consider it after the TV series is finished and all the things are done.

After Tan Yue finished writing the plan for each department, he took a sip of tea and rested for a while, then picked up the script of "The Long Season" and read it carefully.

He also wanted to speed up the shooting progress.

On the other side.

Chen Ziyu stood by the window, holding the phone to his ear and talking on the phone.

"You are coming to Beijing?" Chen Ziyu's tone was full of surprise: "What are you doing in Beijing?"

The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Chen Ziyu's mother.

Chen Ziyu suddenly received a call from his mother, wanting to come to Beijing.

"I miss my daughter. Why don't you welcome her as a mother? How many days do you stay at home in a year? If you don't come back to see me, I can only go to see you."

"Isn't the company busy? I really can't leave."

"I know you are busy with work, so I decided to go to Beijing to find you."

Chen Ziyu said: "You are coming to Beijing to see me, is there anything else?"

The mother did not hide it: "Last time, I didn't see Tan Yue because of something. You are getting married soon, and we haven't met yet. The most important thing for this trip is to observe this future son-in-law."

The mother knows the mother better than the daughter. Chen Ziyu knew that the purpose of his mother coming to Beijing was not just to see him.

The mother on the other end of the phone continued: "You run an entertainment company, and you are busy every day. If I don't go to you, I don't know how long I will have to wait for you to come to see me. There is an old saying that it is better to take the initiative than to wait for death."

"Okay, okay, I know." Chen Ziyu suddenly felt that his head was a little big, not because his mother was nagging, but because he suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Tell me when you come, and I'll send a car to pick you up."

"When will I meet this son-in-law?"

"Come to Beijing first, I'll talk to you. I'm going to hang up now."

Chen Ziyu didn't give her mother a chance to speak and hung up the phone. She didn't agree or refuse on the phone. She couldn't decide on this matter. She still had to ask Tan Yue for his opinion.

"Alas"

Chen Ziyu didn't expect her mother to come to Beijing. She patted her forehead and left the office, knocking on the door of Tan Yue's office.

"What's wrong, Ziyu? You look so sad. Are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Ziyu shook her head and said, "No, I just received a call from my mother, saying she's coming to Beijing."

"That's a good thing!"

"She said she wanted to meet you"

"Hiss" Tan Yue took a breath. Although he had experienced many big scenes, he was a little nervous when he heard that he was going to meet his future mother-in-law.

"If you think this time is not appropriate, let's meet later."

Tan Yue waved his hand and explained: "That's not what I meant. Auntie is coming to Beijing, so we must meet. We have been dating for several years and have reached the stage of discussing marriage. It is indeed a bit inappropriate that I haven't met your family. I neglected it."

Chen Ziyu said indifferently: "I am too busy with work. I can only have a good rest during the Chinese New Year. They will definitely understand you, don't worry."

Her parents are in business, and it is common for them not to be at home.

The more Tan Yue thought about it, the more she felt that her behavior was not appropriate. She actually let her future mother-in-law come to see her.

"I have to meet her. I must meet her this time."

Chen Ziyu said "um". Tan Yue had no objection, so she naturally agreed.

In fact, she had long wanted Tan Yue to meet his parents, so that it would be easier for the subsequent engagement and marriage.

"Auntie is here, I have to dress up. Do you think I need a haircut? Should I wear formal clothes or something a little more casual when we meet?"

"Anything is fine." Chen Ziyu laughed, remembering that when he first went to Tan Yue's house, he was so nervous that he didn't know what to wear.

"No, I must dress up for the first meeting and leave a good impression in front of Auntie."

Chen Ziyu's face was full of smiles and happiness.

It was a pity that I didn't see her last time, and there shouldn't be any unexpected situations this time.

Tan Yue suddenly asked: "When will Auntie come? Let's pick her up together then."

"I'm not sure either, I'll send her a message to ask her."

Since Tan Yue had agreed, Chen Ziyu had a bottom line in his heart, and sent a message to his mother to ask: "I have arranged for Ah Yue to meet you, when will you come to Beijing?"

The mother quickly replied: The date has not been determined yet, it depends on the schedule.

Chen Ziyu replied with an 'OK'.

Before putting down the phone, the mother sent another message: It won't be too long, this period will pass quickly after I'm done, I'll send you a message then.

"I know."

My parents have been busy in the catering industry, just like me, they are busy all day and have no free time.

Tan Yue asked: "When will Auntie come?"

Chen Ziyu put her phone aside and said: "The date has not been decided yet, it will probably not be too long."

Although he was a little nervous about meeting his future mother-in-law for the first time, Tan Yue still had great expectations for this matter.

Before, due to various reasons, the engagement of the two had been postponed. If they met their parents, everything would be different.

Chen Ziyu touched Tan Yue's clothes and said, "I'll take you to buy some clothes during your break."

"Then thank you, Boss Chen."

Chen Ziyu raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. In fact, she paid more attention to this meeting than anyone else.

She had already decided in her heart that Tan Yue had been dating for such a long time because he was rushing to get married. I had wanted to let Tan Yue meet his parents a long time ago.

But either his parents don't have time, or Tan Yue doesn't have time.

This time my mother finally found some free time to visit the capital, and she had to dress formally for the first meeting.

With Chen Ziyu choosing clothes for him, Tan Yue no longer worried.

"You can continue your work, I'll go back first."

Chen Ziyu still has a bunch of documents to deal with, and her mother has not yet determined the date of coming to Beijing, so there is no need to be too anxious about this matter.

After Chen Ziyu left, Tan Yue picked up the split-shot script of "The Long Season" and continued reading it.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qian Tao knocked on the door of Tan Yue's office holding a tablet.

After hearing the sound of "come in", Qian Tao gently opened the door and went in.

"Mr. Tan, here is a video of the audition actors. Take a look."

"good."

Tan Yue took the tablet and checked it carefully.

Qian Tao sat across from him and waited with peace of mind. Overall, he was quite satisfied with the performance of this batch of audition actors. After all, they were all veteran actors with experience and strength.

There were not many roles, so the audition could have ended in one day, but because several actors really couldn't miss the schedule, it had to be postponed by one day.

The audition is at short notice, so I can still understand if something happens.

Tan Yue watched the actors' performances on the tablet, and occasionally picked up a pen to record something.

Trials are basically 5-10 minutes long. Some videos are watched over and over again, while others are watched over and over again.

Tan Yue considers not only the actor's personal performance skills, but also the compatibility between the actor and the role.

Time passed by minute by minute, and nearly two hours had passed since I watched the last video.

Tan Yue rubbed his dry eyes and said: "The two actors are not suitable. It is not a problem of acting skills. The actors and the characters are not suitable for each other. It is easy for the audience to get upset and find two new actors."

"Okay." Qian Tao nodded and wrote down the name.

"The other actors are basically fine. Let's send them a notice. We will notify them after the start time is confirmed."

"clear."

Qian Tao left Tan Yue's office with his tablet and took the time to select actors.
