Zhou Can's life in the past two years has been better than in the previous years, and much better.
In the early years, when he just entered the entertainment industry, he had no academic qualifications at that time. Unlike those film school students who could play important roles in dramas just after entering the entertainment industry, he could only go to the film and television base to play a small role.
But a bit player is a bit player, and not one person in a thousand can rise from the bit player to become a big star.
Zhou Can finally couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to join one of those entertainment companies that looked high-end, but he submitted his resume to each entertainment company, but he didn't even get any success.
At that time, Zhou Can was already desperate.
too difficult!
Zhou Can once wanted to quit the entertainment industry and go back home to start a small business.
But at this time, he was also very lucky, and the Bright Entertainment Company was recruiting actors.
Zhou Can even forgot what kind of mentality he had when he submitted his resume to Bright Entertainment Company. He didn't even have the mentality to give it a try. He just wanted to have a ready-made resume in his hand and send it directly to the email. Just send it over.
If he still needed to redo his resume, Zhou Can would probably have left at that time.
Later, Zhou Can's resume passed the screening of Cui Can Entertainment Company, and then he participated in the interview organized by Cui Can Entertainment Company. He still remembered that during the interview, except for Mr. Tan, the other interviewers were not optimistic about it. he.
It was also because of Mr. Tan that he was able to stay at Bright Entertainment Company. Zhou Can signed a C-level contract at that time, with an annual signing fee of 1.5 million. This amount of money is not much in the eyes of many entertainment stars, but in the eyes of Zhou Can, who has been working as a bit player for many years, it is nothing more than a sum of money. The amount is astronomical. You must know that when he was acting as a small actor in the film and television base, he only paid two to three hundred yuan for one scene.
Because of this incident, Zhou Can will be grateful to Tan Yue for the rest of his life!
But after experiencing the initial excitement, Zhou Can felt uneasy again. Tan Yue had been kind to him. If it weren't for Tan Yue, let alone the starting salary of 1.5 million per year, he would have left this circle long ago. However, Tan Yue gave him so much and helped him so much, but he could not give him anything in return.
It’s not like there are no artists who have performed mediocrely after signing with Cuican Entertainment. If Zhou Can was ignored and asked after signing the contract, he might feel a little depressed, but he wouldn’t be as melancholy as he is now, because compared to other mediocre artists Compared with other artists, Mr. Tan seems to have never forgotten him. He will check in on him every once in a while and praise his outstanding acting skills.
This really made Zhou Can feel a little ashamed and embarrassed. Mr. Tan treated him so kindly, but he had nothing to give Mr. Tan in return.
At this time, Zhou Can was at a loss.
He doesn't know if he is still suitable for the career of an actor. He can just sit here and collect the company's signing fee. In a few years, when the contract expires, if the company is willing to renew the contract, it will be renewed. If it is not willing to renew, it will be seven years. After the contract period, he can also get 10 million from the company. With this money, he can save some money and live a good life for the rest of his life.
But if he does this, Zhou Can will feel guilty and he will not feel at ease.
A few days ago, Mr. Tan came to him and told him that he was going to film a new sitcom and give him a role in the show.
At that moment, Zhou Can really almost cried on the spot.
He told himself in his heart that Tan Yue was his big brother in this life. No matter what time Tan asked him to do, he would definitely do it.
Zhou Can can still clearly remember the scene that day. Mr. Tan told him how excited he was to let him play an important role in the new drama.
What does Mr. Tan’s play represent? It represents the fire!
But Zhou Can's own confidence has been severely frustrated. Too many directors have said that his acting skills are not good, saying that his acting is too exaggerated and out of tune. Zhou Can is very worried that he will delay the quality of Mr. Tan's new drama.
After much hesitation, even though he really wanted to play this role, Zhou Can still declined. He was afraid that he would not perform well and would in vain delay Mr. Tan.
Regarding his worries, Mr. Tan just smiled and told him that he was actually very good, but his characteristics had not been discovered yet, and he would become the most dazzling person in the entertainment industry in the future.
Zhou Can himself didn't believe Mr. Tan's words, but even if they were words of comfort, Mr. Tan's words of comfort made him feel warm in his heart.
So, he took the role.
In order to live up to Mr. Tan's expectations, Zhou Can worked hard to play the role of Yan Xiaoliu well and brilliantly.
This small notebook is densely packed with pages and pages of analysis and research on his character Yan Xiaoliu.
He had thought about giving up, but Mr. Tan did not give up on him and still had high hopes for him. He was not qualified to say "give up" at all.
Unknowingly, a fire was lit in Zhou Can's heart. He wanted to be the best speaker in order to realize his dream and not let Mr. Tan down.
Over the years, most of what he encountered were blows, neglect, and disapproval. Only Mr. Tan believed in him and supported him.
"Come on, you can do it!"
Zhou Can, who was lying on the bed, clenched his fists to cheer himself up.
At this time, he remembered what Mr. Tan said to himself that day - if you don't have dreams as a human being, what's the difference between being a salted fish? !
He doesn't want to be a salted fish, or in other words, even if he is a salted fish and has no future in his life, then he still wants to be a salted fish with dreams!
...
...
In the next few days, many people in the Bright Entertainment Company noticed the movements in the TV series department.
The TV drama department has always been filming TV dramas, and more than ten TV dramas are produced every year, but the preparations made by the crew are not as big as this time. It seems that... Mr. Tan wants to film a drama.
Tan Yue had no intention of hiding the fact that he was going to film a new drama. It was not a secret at all. He was just waiting to announce the news of filming a new drama after the script was written and the actors were confirmed.
By the end of October, Tan Yue officially finalized the script of "Wulin Gaiden". He had finished writing the script three days ago. He only checked it twice to make sure there were no problems before officially fixing the script. Declare the end.
After the script was written, it was time to determine the actors for "Wulin Gaiden."
For a TV series crew, the selection of actors can be said to be the top priority, but when Tan Yue was writing the script of "Wulin Gaiden", he had a rough plan for the actors who would play the roles in the play, and he also planned The character information of each role was given to the actors, and the actors he liked were asked to practice.
Now that the script is written, it's time to check how well the actors are preparing.
In addition to Tan Yue's initial selection of actors, most of the supporting roles in "Wulin Gaiden" were found by Qian Tao, and Tan Yue also had to go through them.
Tan Yue first went over the actors he had originally chosen to see how it turned out.
Most of them are no problem. Zhang Shengli's role as Bai Zhantang is passable, Wang Yue's role as Lu Xiucai is passable, Ma Guoliang's role as Xing Yusen is passable, and Zhou Can's role as Yan Xiaoliu... Well, it's not bad either.
We watched each actor again, and in the end Tan Yue passed most of them, but Liu Qian's performance was not passed by Tan Yue.
It's not that Liu Qian's acting is not good, there is no problem with Liu Qian's performance, and it can even be said to be eye-catching, but it is still the same problem that Tan Yue was worried about before. The style is different, and Liu Qian's style still has a certain She has a fairy spirit, and her acting is great, but she is different from Tan Yue's ideal Tong Xiangyu.
Qian Tao also thought Liu Qian was good and asked Tan Yue if he could change Tong Xiangyu's style so that Tong Xiangyu's charming style would be closer to Liu Qian's.
Qian Tao's proposal was insightful and feasible, but it was rejected by Tan Yue.
For these works moved from the earth, Tan Yue will also make some fine-tuning according to the differences between the two worlds, but he will never touch the fundamentals to ensure the original flavor of the works.
In "Wulin Gaiden", the charming Tong Xiangyu is definitely the soul of this drama. If the charming Tong Xiangyu is changed to the fairy-like Tong Xiangyu, just thinking about it, Tan Yue can't help but shake his head, he somewhat accepts it. No.
Therefore, Liu Qian, who had outstanding acting skills, was passed away.
If Liu Qian fails, then Tan Yue needs to consider who will play Tong Xiangyu. The scope of searching for actors can be expanded from a bright entertainment company to the entire entertainment industry.
Just when Tan Yue was thinking about it, Qian Tao suggested that Xin Zhi should try it.
Xin Zhi is also a first-line actress in the company. She previously played the role of Zhen Huan in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" directed by Tan Yue. It can be said that she became famous all over the country.
It's just that Tan Yue previously thought that Zhen Huan's image was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became popular, Xin Zhi received a large number of scripts, but 90% of those scripts were scripts with female protagonists. This is also from the side. It reflects Xin Zhi's current image problem in the public mind.
It’s really Zhen Huan who succeeds and Zhen Huan who fails.
With the role of Zhen Huan, Xin Zhi became famous all over the country, and even had some fans of Xin Zhi abroad. But it is also because the role of Zhen Huan is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now everyone's impression of Xin Zhi is that of Zhen Huan, as if she is The incarnation of Zhen Huan from film and television dramas.
Theoretically speaking, Xin Zhi was already a well-known actress before she played the role of Zhen Huan. Even if she creates a character that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will not have such an effect. However, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is so popular that it broke records That kind of fire.
For example, the current "Jianghu Family" dares to touch "Underground Traffic Station", but he will never dare to touch "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Including some other palace battle dramas, I can only say that they pay tribute to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but I will never say that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is not good.
The fans of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are mostly female viewers. They are not only numerous but also very aggressive. In this entertainment industry with a serious fandom, few people dare to provoke such a group of people.
With her role as Zhen Huan, Xin Zhi has received a lot of awards at major award ceremonies across the country, but her development has also been restricted by this role.
Ever since "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became a hit, Xin Zhi has begun to try to change the public's perception of her image. It is actually not good for everyone to only know about Zhen Huan but not about Xin Zhi's condition.
Xin Zhi, who urgently needed a drama to transform, made a lot of efforts, but all ended in failure. The several roles she played after "The Legend of Zhen Huan" were actually good, but they were far from the classic Zhen Huan.
Xin Zhi was previously in another crew and had just returned from filming in the past few days. She heard through the grapevine that Mr. Tan was going to film a new drama, so she started working hard and preparing.
So when Tan Yue asked Qian Tao to call Xin Zhi over, handed Tong Xiangyu's relevant information to Tong Xiangyu, and asked Xin Zhi to try out the show, Xin Zhi actually spoke in a rather humorous and interesting Shaanxi dialect, and also Quite authentic.
During the audition, Tan Yue's eyes really shined, and he immediately decided that Xin Zhi would play Tong Xiangyu.
In fact, if you consider it carefully, you can find that there is something fishy in it.
If this was Xin Zhi's first exposure to "Wulin Gaiden" or Tong Xiangyu's role, and she was not from Shaanxi Province, how could she speak the authentic Shaanxi Province dialect every time she opened her mouth?
It was obvious that Xin Zhi had been prepared for this before she came to audition.
Whether it is said that Xin Zhi is scheming or that she is always prepared, Tan Yue does not care about these. What he cares about is who can play the role in the play well. If at this time an artist from another company comes forward and says that he can play a certain role well, A role, and after Tan Yue's audition, it was indeed the case. Then Tan Yue would definitely replace the actors in the company with an actor more suitable for this role, even if he is not an artist from the Bright Entertainment Company.
Everything is to better present the work in front of the audience.
However, Tan Yue also thinks that Liu Qian can make more guest appearances in the drama in the future. In future filming, he will also consider using Liu Qian more to create some balance between Liu Qian and Xin Zhi.
Although Liu Qian failed to play the role of Tong Xiangyu because she failed Tan Yue, it is not certain that she will not secretly hate Xin Zhi because of this. Although based on Tan Yue's understanding of Liu Qian, Liu Qian is not Such people.
Liu Qian and Xin Zhi are both the best actresses in Bright Entertainment Company, and both of them must be highly praised. The relationship between these two people must be properly handled. This does not mean that the relationship between the two must be very good, but that they cannot be in the company. Internal fighting is the bottom line and must be done.
After the actors for these main roles in "Wulin Gaiden" are decided, there are also the characters who appear in each episode. Just like "Underground Traffic Station", this also needs to be paid attention to. Every character must be valued and have its own characteristics. In this way Only in this way can every episode be enjoyable and become a classic sitcom without any irritating points.
Qian Tao has not found all the actors, but there is no rush. There are so many actors in the entertainment industry, so they can definitely be found, and they can be found while filming.
With the script of "Wulin Gaiden" completed, most of the preparatory work has been completed.
At this time, Cuican Entertainment can announce the filming of a new drama, but by now, everyone who needs to know already knows.
