Chapter 965 New Year's Eve
Watching Fan Shan's performance on the monitor, Tan Yue was happy but also felt very sorry.
Since the emergence of traffic stars, many people's concepts have changed, and the audience pays more attention to the actors themselves.
Especially in the entertainment industry, as a director, what matters is not the actor's acting skills, but the traffic brought by the star himself. There are even singers who have never acted in a play, playing the leading role in film and television works.
In such an environment, actors like Fan Shan who rely on acting skills to make a living will find it difficult to survive. Even if he has acting skills that are not inferior to Ma Guoliang, he still has no movies to shoot.
However, fortunately, this slightly deformed development situation is finally beginning to change slowly.
Many old actors with acting skills are slowly being discovered and returning to the audience's field of vision again.
Zhang Shengwen is one of them. Relying on his explosive acting skills in "The Storm", he can now be said to be so popular that he has been offered many film contracts.
Tan Yue can foresee that Fan Shan will be like this.
Good actors are destined not to be buried.
Tan Yue looked at Fan Shan who was reading the script carefully on the side, and a bold idea came to his mind: to sign Fan Shan to his own company.
Although Brilliant Entertainment is now the strongest among domestic entertainment companies, it still lacks talented actors.
Which entertainment company would dislike having too many good actors?
Of course, the most important thing now is that Tan Yue's eyes are on the international entertainment market. He must have enough elite soldiers and generals under his command to ensure that he can walk more steadily on this road.
Tan Yue thought carefully for a moment, stood up and said: "You watch it first, I'll make a phone call and come back soon."
"Okay, Director Tan."
Tan Yue found a quiet place, turned on his mobile phone and called Qin Tao, the director of the artist management department.
"Mr. Tan."
The call was answered quickly.
"Mr. Qin, is it convenient for you to talk?"
"It's convenient, tell me what arrangements you have." Qin Tao is now in the office. Hearing Tan Yue say this, he guessed that there must be something big.
"Can you help me check which entertainment company Fan Shan belongs to now?"
It is not easy to sign an actor, especially an artist with a company.
Entertainment companies with conscience are better, but entertainment companies with evil hearts can make an artist work for a lifetime and still not get paid.
If Tan Yue wants to sign Fan Shan, he must first clarify this matter.
"Yes, I will ask someone to do it now."
Qin Tao put down the phone, called the secretary in, and quickly found someone to check the matter.
After Tan Yue put down the phone, he took a deep breath. It would be best if Fan Shan did not sign with the entertainment company. If he signed, he must find a way to get him.
Fan Shan's acting skills are too good, this talent cannot be buried like this.
Tan Yue returned to the monitor and continued to check the filmed clips.
In the past half month, as the crew's running-in has become better and better, the crew's filming progress has also been slowly improving, much faster than the estimated time.
The atmosphere of the crew is also particularly good. Under the leadership of Ma Guoliang and Fan Shan, there are many scenes that can be passed in one take, and the actors will shoot them again for excellence.
The assistant director came running over and said, "Director Tan, the extras are already here, they've already put on makeup, and they're waiting outside."
"Let them in." Tan Yue reminded, "Be clear when you explain the scenes to them."
"Understood." After the assistant director left, he took the intercom and called, "Extras, come in."
As a director, Tan Yue has a lot to be responsible for. Extras are usually trained by special people, and the director will only explain the scenes to the extras, except for some special scenes.
The assistant director took the loudspeaker and explained the scenes to the extras, and then called Fan Shan and Ma Guoliang over to coordinate the movements.
After about half an hour, the assistant director said "action", and "The Long Season" continued to shoot.
Tan Yue sat in front of the monitor and watched the actors' performances, his eyes looking back and forth on several monitors. Each monitor represented a camera position. There were more extras this time, so there were naturally many things to pay attention to.
The assistant director and the instructor behind him were also closely watching the situation on the scene.
With so many extras, Tan Yue felt that it was unlikely to pass the film in one take, and the result was as he expected. Several extras made mistakes because they walked in the front.
After the assistant director re-emphasized it, they filmed again.
There was no mistake in the positioning this time, but one actor did not control his emotions and laughed.
It is very rare to pass the film in one take, so Ma Guoliang can pass it in most cases, which makes many actors admire him. Now Fan Shan is also in this state.
After several retakes, Tan Yue's requirements were finally met in the sixth take.
Not only the actors on the scene, but also the assistant director was relieved in his heart. This was his first time as Tan Yue's assistant director, and the tension in his heart can be imagined.
"Keep filming."
Under Tan Yue's command, the entire crew filmed every scene in an orderly manner.
Soon it was lunch time. Tan Yue sat in front of the monitor, watching and eating, and the mobile phone beside him made a "buzzing" vibration sound.
"Boss Qin." Tan Yue put the lunch box aside, got up and found a place with few people to answer the phone.
"Is there a result?"
"Yes." Qin Tao nodded and said, "Mr. Tan, it's like this. Mr. Fan Shan has not signed any entertainment company now. According to the information we have investigated, he terminated the contract with the previous entertainment company five years ago."
"Okay, I know. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's all what I should do. I'll send you the detailed information on WeChat."
After Qin Tao sent a message on WeChat, he put down his phone, rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath. His stomach was growling with hunger, and he got up to eat.
On the other side, Tan Yue smiled. No entertainment company is the best situation. Now he is more confident to sign Fan Shan.
Fan Shan's acting skills are not inferior to Ma Guoliang. By then, the strength of the artists under the company will be greatly improved.
Tan Yue saw the message sent by Qin Tao. When Fan Shan terminated the contract with the entertainment company, there were many unpleasant things. He even almost went to court. In the end, the matter was resolved with the help of people in the circle.
He was worried that Fan Shan would have negative emotions towards the entertainment company because of that incident and refuse his invitation. I sincerely feel that not signing Fan Shan is a loss for Brilliant Entertainment. Such a good actor is hard to find.
"Don't worry."
Tan Yue put his phone back in his pocket and went back to the monitor to continue eating. He didn't go to find Fan Shan immediately. He just wanted to give him more time, so that he could feel that Brilliant Entertainment is different from other entertainment companies through the filming period.
Beijing.
After a busy day at work, Chen Ziyu lay on the sofa with a mask on and closed her eyes to rest.
The intensity of work after Tan Yue left forced her to take some time every day to rest her spirit.
Now she not only has to deal with various affairs of the company, but also attend various invited activities. Every day she is either working or on the way to work.
Just when Chen Ziyu was a little dazed and had already started dreaming, the sudden ringing of the phone pulled her back directly.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Chen Ziyu asked with a yawn.
"Going to bed so early?" Chen's mother thought she had misread the time. It was not yet ten o'clock.
"I've been busy with work lately, so I'm going to lie down and rest for a while."
"Pay attention to rest at ordinary times." Chen's mother said: "I'm not busy these days. I plan to go to Beijing to see you in two days."
"Ah!?" Chen Ziyu suddenly lost all his sleepiness and sat up from the sofa: "Is it so sudden?"
"What's so sudden about this? Now that I'm done with my work, it's still a surprise to go and see you."
"Mom, I'm not talking about this matter. I'm talking about Ah Yue filming a TV series now. If you come here now, you will definitely not see him again."
Chen's mother said "tsk": "Filming a TV series?"
"Yes, he is in Yunnan now. The crew hasn't had a holiday since the start of filming, and they have been rushing to make progress. If you come now, you two won't be able to see each other again."
"When will the filming be finished?"
Chen Ziyu thought for a while and said, "It's estimated that it won't be finished before the New Year."
"Okay." Chen's mother's tone was inevitably a little regretful: "If you can't see me this time, wait for the next opportunity. I'll go to Beijing to see you in two days."
"Tell me after buying the ticket."
"Got it, take a rest quickly." Chen's mother put down her phone and prepared to buy a plane ticket for tomorrow. Seeing that her daughter was so tired, she thought about going over to take care of her quickly.
Chen Ziyu looked at the ceiling and sighed, full of helplessness. His mother finally found time to come to Beijing, but Tan Yue was still busy with work and couldn't spare any time.
"I wonder if there is a night scene today?"
Chen Ziyu tried to dial Tan Yue's mobile number and was quickly connected.
"Aren't there any night scenes today?"
"The night scenes are tomorrow night."
Chen Ziyu patted his forehead: "I was confused, I thought there was a night scene today."
"Are you too tired recently?" Tan Yue said distressedly.
Chen Ziyu found a comfortable position to lie on the sofa, and said softly: "Don't worry about the company's affairs, I can handle it alone, you can shoot well outside."
"You should also pay more attention to rest."
"You too." Chen Ziyu said: "I have something regrettable to tell you, my mother is coming to Beijing soon, it's a pity that you are out of town now."
Tan Yue suddenly felt like vomiting blood. The crew is busy now, and it is impossible for him to take leave to return to Beijing. This time, the opportunity to meet his future mother-in-law is ruined again.
"During the days when my aunt is gone, please take good care of her for me. Although she is not here, her thoughts must be there."
Chen Ziyu chuckled: "Don't worry, the gifts have been prepared for you."
Then the two chatted on the phone.
The filming plan of "The Long Season" is progressing steadily, and nothing major has happened in the company.
Time always passes quickly, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
The whole country is gradually becoming lively. Those who have an early holiday have started to prepare for the New Year at home, and those who have a late holiday are also ready to go home for the New Year. However, there are still some who have not taken a holiday, and the crew of "The Long Season" is among them.
After some discussion, the crew plans to take a long holiday after the filming is completed to make up for the New Year holiday in the middle. Now the shooting progress has reached the late stage, otherwise it will be too time-consuming to readjust the status after returning from the holiday.
……
……
Recently, a new drama with a suspense theme is being promoted, which has aroused discussions among netizens on TV drama forums. "The Long Season" is also inevitably mentioned as a suspense theme.
"I remember that after "The Long Season" was announced, there wasn't much news online. I don't know how the filming is going now?"
"Brothers upstairs, don't worry. I haven't figured out Teacher Tan Yue's habits yet. If there is no news, it means the filming has not been completed. After the filming, there will be news on the Internet. Maybe the next time the news is updated, the publicity will have already started. ”
"Speaking of suspense dramas, what I'm most looking forward to is Teacher Tan Yue's new drama "The Long Season." I remember that Teacher Tan Yue's introduction to this drama at the opening ceremony will be relatively short, and it will definitely not be enough to watch."
"Teacher Tan Yue's Weibo has not been updated for a long time. I don't know when the filming will be completed. I really want to see this drama as soon as possible."
""The Long Season" is a TV series produced by Mr. Tan Yue. This is his first TV series after many years. As a fan, I am looking forward to it. I became a fan of Tan Yue because I watched his TV series."
…
Single city.
Recently, Gou Sang started preparing for the exam again.
Although he failed time and time again, it also made him know that the road to taking the exam was not easy.
As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Gou Sang had a better attitude when he was preparing for the exam this time. He didn't think that he must pass the exam. He now thinks that if he prepares hard for the exam, he will be the best if he can pass the exam. If he doesn't pass the exam, he will find a job outside.
During the break, Gou Sang opened Tan Yue's Weibo. There was still no update, and he murmured: "I wonder if the filming is almost finished?"
Gou Sang looked at the messages on Weibo. Many people, like him, were urging Tan Yue to update "The Long Season"-related news.
"The crew should be on vacation at this time."
Gou Sang didn't know much about the entertainment industry and thought that the crew had already gone on vacation and would not resume filming until after the Chinese New Year.
…
New Year's Eve.
Dian Province.
Tan Yue checked that there was nothing wrong with the captured footage and lay down on the hotel bed to rest.
The crew still gave everyone a half-day holiday. After all, tonight is New Year's Eve. If you are busy with work and cannot go home, you still have to call home.
"beng—bang—"
Listening to the continuous sound of firecrackers outside, Tan Yue picked up the phone and made a video call to his mother.
"Xiao Yue, I was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner just now and didn't hear you."
The phone rang for half a minute before it was answered.
"Is it almost ready?"
"Come on, look, your sister-in-law has come to help, and Xinxin." Mother Tan said with a smile, "Look at the many dishes we have prepared, do you want to eat them?"
Tan Yue also joked: "If you can't finish it, keep it for me. I'll go back after I finish filming this drama."
The phone call took a long time to end.
