Beijing, a hotel, in a private room.
Six dishes were placed on a square dining table, with Tan Yue and Jiao Cheng sitting on both sides.
"Teacher Jiao, how do you read the script?" Tan Yue poured a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
Jiao Cheng's main focus in the past two years has been on the recording of "Longing for Life", but there is a relatively long gap between the recordings of each season of "Longing for Life".
During this free period, Jiao Cheng used it to do other things, such as releasing songs or filming movies and TV series.
Jiao Cheng himself is on the list of first-tier public figures. He is an artist in film, television, singing, and has high qualifications in the industry. Now, he has become more of a playboy.
Of course, I also make money and want to move higher in the entertainment industry, but I don’t like young people who desperately strive to move up.
Thanks to the traffic and popularity of "Longing for Life", Jiao Cheng is now ranked thirteenth on the list of first-line public figures.
Recently, the new season of "Longing for Life" ended. After Jiao Cheng made a cameo in a movie shot by a friend, he received an audition invitation for Tan Yue's new drama.
Jiao Cheng was shocked by this audition invitation.
He is well aware of the importance of Tan Yue's new drama in the entertainment industry, and there are so many actors who want to participate in it.
After receiving Tan Yue's invitation, Jiao Cheng also took it seriously. Even though he was still making a cameo on the set, he immediately ran to Tan Yue for an audition. After passing the audition, Tan Yue gave him a script and asked Jiao Cheng to learn more about it in advance.
After Jiao Cheng returned to the set, he took no time to finish filming all his scenes, and spent all the time in between to familiarize himself with the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Today is the second day after returning to the capital, so I made an appointment with Tan Yue for a meal.
Jiao Cheng turned around, picked up the briefcase he brought, took out the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" that Tan Yue had given him before, handed it to Tan Yue, and said: "Mr. Tan, take a look, there is something in it." Some of my views and conclusions on the role of the emperor in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
This script is not the complete script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It just has a simple story background and then the scenes related to the emperor. Therefore, it is not as thick and content-heavy as the complete script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Tan Yue took the script, opened it and started reading.
Every page of the script is filled with dense analysis and deep understanding of the characters.
As expected of a seasoned actor, he prepared extremely well before acting.
Tan Yue read for more than ten minutes, selected some important points and focused on them before closing the script and smiling at Jiao Cheng: "Teacher Jiao, you did a great job in the preliminary work."
Jiao Cheng smiled and said: "This is a necessary lesson. This is how I teach students in school. If I can't do it myself, how can I teach others?"
In addition to being a Sanqi artist, Jiao Cheng also serves as an acting class teacher at the Beijing Film Academy and has been teaching for more than ten years. Many well-known actors in the entertainment industry are now students of Jiao Cheng, which is why Jiao Cheng has relatively high qualifications. a reason.
Tan Yue said with a smile: "I feel relieved that Mr. Jiao will play the male lead in "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
With that said, Tan Yue continued: "Teacher Jiao, in addition to being the screenwriter, I also serve as the assistant director in the crew this time. I want to learn how to direct a TV series well. Are you here?" I have rich experience in this field, and I will ask Teacher Jiao for your guidance when the time comes."
Jiao Cheng also has the status of a director, but the works he directed did not produce very good results, and he gradually gave up on it later. However, every few years, Jiao Cheng will still direct another work. In terms of quality, he is roughly on par with Lin Qingye almost.
Jiao Cheng was stunned when he heard that Tan Yue was still serving as the assistant director on the crew. As soon as he thought about it, he knew what Tan Yue was thinking. He wanted to get involved in the directing industry.
He couldn't help but lament Tan Yue's energy. He asked himself that he was already a relatively comprehensive person, but Tan Yue was much more comprehensive than himself. Although many actors have a dream of being a director, being a director is not easy.
Looking at Tan Yue, Jiao Cheng nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Tan. If you have any questions at that time, just ask me directly. The director's profession is also very talented, so your talent should be fine." , as long as you are willing to work hard, stay calm, shoot a few more dramas to test the water, and practice your skills, you will definitely be able to achieve results, and you will definitely be better than me, haha."
"Hahaha, okay." Tan Yue said with a smile.
The two then chatted about the upcoming crew and Tan Yue's views on "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to help Jiao Cheng clear some doubts.
...
...
The next day, Chang'an Building, Bright Entertainment Company.
In Tan Yue's office.
After finishing some work, Tan Yue picked up a book and started reading.
The name of the book is "How a Director is Made."
Tan Yue bought this book online in order to learn how to be a good director.
This book was written by the world-famous director Doug Black and is regarded as a classic by many directors around the world.
Tan Yue also heard about this book and bought it to study.
Boom, boom, boom.
While Tan Yue was reading, there was a knock on the office door.
Tan Yue put down his book, raised his head and said, "Please come in."
After Tan Yue finished speaking, Qian Tao, who was dark and thin, walked in from outside the office. When he saw Tan Yue, Qian Tao immediately showed a flattering smile on his face, "Mr. Tan."
Tan Yue nodded with a smile, pointed to the chair opposite his desk, and said, "Sit."
Qian Tao nodded quickly and sat opposite Tan Yue.
Tan Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, what can I do?"
Qian Tao quickly handed a document he had just printed out to Tan Yue's desk and said: "Mr. Tan, this is some information about "The Legend of Zhen Huan". I have arranged it neatly. It contains information about each actor and The budget for the crew's project fund and the arrangements for the team members in the crew. If you have any problems, tell me. If there are no problems, I will follow this."
"Okay, let me take a look first."
Tan Yue picked up the document, opened it and looked at it.
It must have been printed just now, Tan Yue could still smell a faint fragrance of ink.
This document is not a small project. Tan Yue gently squeezed the thickness and estimated that it should have twenty or thirty pages.
Although Qian Tao seems unreliable, he can still be trusted when he does things.
Tan Yue looked at it and found that, as Qian Tao said, everything had been arranged in order according to the nature of the content and seemed very orderly.
"Mr. Qian, if you have something to do over there, you can go and do it first. If there is nothing urgent, you can wait for me here." Tan Yue said.
Upon hearing this, Qian Tao hurriedly said: "Mr. Tan, I have taken care of everything over there. Take your time, I'll wait here."
Tan Yue smiled and continued reading.
Although there is a lot of content in the document, you don't have to read it all. Most of the content can only be glanced at. There are not many places that really need to be looked at carefully.
It's not because it's not important, but Qian Tao arranged it very well, such as the budget, and thought of all aspects.
After more than twenty minutes, Tan Yue finished reading the document.
"Very good, basically no problems," Tan Yue said, "There are only a few minor flaws."
Qian Tao was overjoyed at first when he heard the first half of Tan Yue's sentence, and then his face froze when he heard the last sentence, but soon returned to normal. He looked at Tan Yue and said, "Mr. Tan, please tell me where there are any flaws. , I will change it when I get back."
Tan Yue nodded with a smile, opened the document and laid it flat on his desk. He pointed at the few minor problems he had just found and explained them to Qian Tao.
Qian Tao nodded every time Tan Yue said a few words and listened very carefully, and he was not perfunctory. After Tan Yue pointed out the problem, he could quickly provide a solution.
"Haha, just follow these solutions from Mr. Qian, organize this document and give it to me, and there should be no problem." Tan Yue said to Qian Tao.
Qian Tao nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Tan."
After explaining Qian Tao, he let him leave.
Watching Qian Tao leave, Tan Yue thought to himself, "He is also a talent."
...
...
In the next few days, Bright Entertainment Company began to operate with the TV series department as its core.
Began providing support and logistical support to the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
News of Tan Yue's new drama also spread online, attracting the attention of many netizens.
"Teacher Tan Yue's new drama is out?"
"Yes, I saw the report. It's called "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and it's a palace battle drama."
"Damn it, the script Mr. Tan Yue wrote this time is "Gongdou Drama". He is really awesome. The styles of each drama are so different."
"Yes, some people only make dramas in genres they are familiar with. Teacher Tan Yue has changed three genres in three dramas. I don't know if his new drama can reach the level of the previous two dramas."
"It's hard to say. After all, the ratings of "Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station" are too high, but I feel that the ratings of this new drama will not be bad."
"Palace fighting drama? I'm not very interested."
"There are many palace-fighting dramas nowadays, and I don't reject them, but brainless palace-fighting dramas are boring. I like palace-fighting dramas that are really Machiavellian."
""The Legend of Zhen Huan"? This is a drama with a female lead? Is the heroine called Zhen Huan?"
...
...
January 7th.
Capital city, suburbs, film and television base.
Zhang Wu is an extra. After getting up in the morning, he and his friend Li Biao, who is also an extra, came to the film and television base, waiting for work.
Two people squatted on the edge, chewing betel nuts in their mouths.
Some film crews are quite strict even when choosing supporting roles, and may refuse them if they smell smoke. Therefore, when looking for work, Zhang Wu and Li Biao did not smoke, but just chewed betel nut.
Zhang Wu raised his head and glanced not far away, where people were busy preparing to hold a power-on ceremony.
"Which production company is that? When did it come? Why haven't I heard about it?" Zhang Wu said.
Li Biao spit out the betel nut in his mouth, glanced over there, and then said: "Lao Wu, your news is delayed too much, and the crew doesn't even know about it."
When Zhang Wu heard this, he became energetic and asked: "Which crew? Are you still alive?"
Li Biao rolled his eyes at Zhang Wu and said, "I guess everyone in our film and television base knows who that person is, except you."
"Don't be shy, tell me quickly." Zhang Wu urged.
Li Biao said: "That's the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It's Tan Yue's new drama. Now the entire entertainment industry is paying attention to it."
Hearing Li Biao's words, Zhang Wu took a breath and said in shock: "What? Is this Tan Yue's new drama?"
Whether it is "Lotus Lantern" or "Underground Traffic Station", Tan Yue is neither the director nor the starring role, but as we all know, he plays the role of the backbone of the crew, so many people talk about "Lotus Lantern", "Underground Traffic Station" is said to be Tan Yue's drama.
Of course, in fact, these are indeed Tan Yue's dramas.
With the popularity of "Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station", Tan Yue's reputation in the TV drama circle has become more and more famous.
This is one of the reasons why Zhang Wu was quite surprised after hearing the news that this drama was Tan Yue's new drama.
Looking at the new crew in full swing in the distance, Zhang Wu murmured: "I wonder if there is a chance to show up in this drama. If it happens, maybe we can become famous."
There have always been many rumors in the film and television base. For example, a certain popular star at the moment started out as a bit player, seized the opportunity, rose to the top, married the school beauty, and became worth hundreds of millions. This is envied by many people.
Li Biao snorted lightly and said: "Lao Wu, there are so many well-known actors who want to appear in this kind of crew, so let's not even think about it."
Zhang Wu also sighed after hearing Li Biao's words.
The cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
The start-up ceremony was held in full swing. With everyone watching, Tan Yue, Lin Qingye, Jiao Cheng, Xin Zhi and other crew members took the lead in holding incense and inserting it into the incense burner.
A staff member lit firecrackers in the distance, and the crackling sound of firecrackers exploded around the crew.
A little further away, there were some reporters who came after hearing the news, snapping photos to record this moment.
After the start-up ceremony, Tan Yue and Lin Qingye began to arrange various departments to prepare.
Tan Yue served as assistant director just to learn the knowledge of directing. When he was filming "Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station" before, he could ignore many things, but now he has to follow Lin Qingye to make arrangements on the set.
Some people call directors "tyrants on the set". Tan Yue didn't understand the reason before. Now that he is a director himself, he gradually feels that there are too many things going on.
Sometimes trivial things can make people's scalp numb.
No matter how good-tempered a person is, there will probably be times when he can't stand it anymore.
Every detail has to be decided by the director, and the most troublesome part is the props team.
Because the placement of props is directly the background of the play and the scene of the TV series.
If the props are not well set up, it is easy for the audience to feel like they are in a drama.
In the morning, everyone was mainly preparing. The prop team built the scenes to be used in the first scene. The official start of filming had to wait until the afternoon.
After working until noon, Tan Yue and Lin Qingye finished arranging all these things.
Tan Yue returned to the tent, his mouth was dry, he unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and drank it.
What I read in books before was theory, but now this is practice.
