The script of "Infernal Affairs" is in the final stage, and it is expected to take more than an hour to complete the finishing work.
After reading Sun Daohao's interview, Tan Yue reopened the file of "Infernal Affairs" and completed the last paragraph.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the files for "Infernal Affairs" were saved.
After writing the script, Tan Yue went through it again from beginning to end to ensure that there would be no minor mistakes.
Tan Yue breathed a long sigh of relief. He finished writing two scripts in two weeks. It was really exhausting. He picked up the cup and went to the water dispenser to get water. The tea leaves in the cup were just put in when he came in the morning. There was a scent of tea on the floor. Come.
Putting the cup on the desk, Tan Yue moved his body to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and thought about the next work.
The really busy work is about to begin, and planning must be done in advance to take care of both sides at the same time.
Chen Ye knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Tan, there is a document that needs your signature."
Tan Yue came to the desk and took the document and read it carefully.
This document will be sent back to the program department soon, so Chen Ye left in no hurry.
Tan Yue signed his name on the last page: "Xiaoye, I will send you a script for the party by email. You can print a few more copies, sort them out and send them to me. By the way, let Director Zheng Tong come and visit me." office."
"I'll do it right away." After saying that, Chen Ye took the documents and hurried to the program department to deliver them. When he returned to his work station, he saw the documents sent by Tan Yuexin.
Open the file, adjust the layout, and start printing.
There is a small printer next to Chen Ye. On the one hand, it is for convenience, and on the other hand, there are many documents that need to be kept confidential.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Ye compiled the script and headed to the film department.
A moment later, Zheng Tong came to Tan Yue's office, and the script of "Infernal Affairs" was also in Tan Yue's hands.
"Mr. Tan." Zheng Tong sat opposite Tan Yue.
Tan Yue handed over a script: "Director Zheng, this is a new movie script. Take a look."
Zheng Tong took the script with both hands, and his heart beat significantly faster.
Before entering this office, he was still thinking about the reason for being called here, and thought of many possibilities, but what he didn't expect was that it would be a new script.
Zheng Tong couldn't wait to open the script and read it.
"It's actually a police movie!"
He was a little surprised and stunned, but he quickly accepted it. After all, every time Tan Yue played a card, it was unexpected and reasonable.
After reading the synopsis of "Infernal Affairs", Zheng Tong was very excited. Just one story gave him very high expectations.
Tan Yue said: "Take the script back and polish it."
Zheng Tong closed the script and said happily: "Okay, Mr. Tan, I will do it immediately."
Zheng Tong was very familiar with this set of work procedures, so he got up and left the office.
The moment he closed the door, Zheng Tong laughed: "The surprise came so suddenly!"
Tan Yue has already made two movies this year. He thought that the next movie would not have a sound until next year. He never thought that not long after "Kung Fu" was released, a new script would be available so soon.
"Mr. Tan's efficiency is so fast!" Zheng Tong couldn't help but sigh.
In the entire entertainment industry, he firmly believes that no one can match Tan Yue's speed and quality.
"Nirvana in Fire" is still in the confidentiality stage. Zheng Tong doesn't know yet. After it is made public, his jaw will drop even more.
Zheng Tong hurriedly returned to the film department, first asked his secretary to print out a few scripts, and then quickly summoned the screenwriters in charge to start the next work.
…
…
On the other side, Tan Yue began to think about suitable candidates for each role in "Nirvana in Fire".
The success of "Nirvana in Fire" on Earth is inseparable from the actors in the show.
Now when the audience looks back, they realize that many of the characters are veteran actors in the entertainment industry.
The important roles in the play must first be selected from within the Bright Entertainment Company.
Only when the company's artists continue to improve on the list of public figures can the company continue to develop.
Compared with Guangmei Entertainment Company and Tianjing Entertainment Company, the foundation of Cuican Entertainment Company is still far behind, and it needs vigorous development.
The next step is to choose external auditions.
But for Tan Yue, it is best if there are actors within the company who are qualified for the roles.
But if it is really inappropriate for the role in the play, he will not force the actor to play it.
In order to realize the potential of "Langya Bang", every actor must try his best to perfectly interpret the role in the play.
Tan Yue rubbed his chin, frowned slightly, and fell into thinking, because he also had to consider the actors for the next "Infernal Affairs".
Mei Changsu, the most important character in "Nirvana in Fire", gave him a bit of a headache.
Tan Yue opened the company's internal webpage and found a list of artists. He browsed it aimlessly.
Soon, a name caught his eye.
"Xia Mu." Tan Yue looked at one person's information and whispered.
Xia Mu used to be an actor in a third-rate entertainment company. He was known as a handsome man in ancient costume. Many costume TV series were loved by the audience.
The company he works for is mid-range among third-rate entertainment companies, and its strength is at the bottom of the entire entertainment industry.
In such a competitive entertainment industry, if you are a little late, you will miss a lot.
If the company is not strong enough, its resources will naturally be much less.
The company took on several modern dramas for Xia Mu, but the ratings were not ideal and her reputation was greatly affected.
Later, the company simply broke the pot and squeezed Xia Mu hard. During that time, there were too many TV series about Xia Mu on the Internet, which even made many viewers tired of it.
In desperation, Xia Mu had no choice but to terminate the contract, and the company directly agreed to the request, but asked for a hefty termination fee.
Later, by chance, Xia Mu hooked up with Qin Tao and signed a contract with Bright Entertainment Company. He played the first and second male roles in several TV series and is now ranked 89th on the list of second-tier public figures.
"You can let him try." Tan Yue carefully studied Xia Mu's information. His acting skills are acceptable and his image is consistent. So far, he is quite suitable.
But whether it can be finalized or not can only be confirmed after the audition. The role of Mei Changsu requires a lot of acting skills.
Tan Yue, the heroine of Princess Nihuang in the play, is going to star Xin Zhi.
Xin Zhi is a very good match for this role, and there are no problems with his acting skills. Almost all auditions can be omitted.
There is another role that Tan Yue believes can be directly identified as the commander of the Mengzhi Imperial Army.
Tan Yue thought of Zhang Shengli as a person who was qualified for this role. He was strong, of the right age and most importantly, had a foundation in martial arts.
Looking at the company's list of actors, Tan Yue wrote down several candidates for important roles.
This is just a preliminary list and nothing can be confirmed until after the audition.
Tan Yue called Chen Ye: "Xiao Ye, ask Director Qian Tao to come over."
A few minutes later.
"Dongdongdong".
"Please come in!"
Qian Tao guessed that "Nirvana in Fire" was going to the next stage, so he was very happy.
Tan Yue handed Qian Tao a list of actors he had just written: "This is a list of several important roles I have selected. You are responsible for contacting them and asking them to come over and try out the play."
Qian Tao looked at the names on the list and felt confident.
"In addition, the selection of other roles will be determined by you and Director Lin Qingye, and the final list will be handed over to me." Tan Yue continued: "Select from the company's actors first. If the company cannot find suitable actors, then look for them externally. "
"Understood Mr. Tan."
Tan Yue looked at the time: "It's time to have lunch soon. Let's go back to eat first."
Not long after Qian Tao left, Chen Ziyu knocked on the door and came in: "What are you busy with?"
Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu said a few words.
Then the two went to the company restaurant for dinner. On the way, Tan Yue told Chen Ziyu about the selection of actors for "Nirvana in Fire".
Chen Ziyu would never interfere in Tan Yue's film and television works, and would listen carefully from the sidelines.
...
film department.
After explaining the secretary's work, Zheng Tong opened the script again and read it carefully. In Tan Yue's office, he only had a general glance and had not seen many details.
The secretary quickly printed out the script of "Infernal Affairs" and put it on Zheng Tong's desk.
Zheng Tong originally planned to convene a meeting with the screenwriters to polish the script immediately, but this script was so good that he decided to read it first.
He is also a veteran police and gangster movie fan, having watched almost all the police and gangster movies in the early years.
With the decline of police and gangster movies, Zheng Tong felt it was a pity. When police and gangster movies were very popular, he bought many promotional posters for the movies and posted them in his room.
I thought it would be difficult to see high-quality police and gangster films in the future, but I was very happy to see that there are such films in the support plan of the General Administration of Culture.
What made him even more unexpected was that Mr. Tan's next movie turned out to be the police movie he had longed for.
Zheng Tong feels that he sees hope. Police and gangster films will once again be as popular as martial arts action films and will be hotly discussed by the public.
"This movie will definitely be a hit." Zheng Tong reluctantly put down the script in his hand. He liked "Infernal Affairs" very much.
"Infernal Affairs" is very different from the police movies I have seen before.
Then arrange for the secretary to call several senior screenwriters in the department to the conference room for a meeting.
Like the script of "Nirvana in Fire", "Infernal Affairs" also needs polishing.
Tan Yue just wrote down the plot, and all they had to do was turn the script into shots, which was not a difficult task for several senior screenwriters in the company.
"Director, they have arrived in the conference room." The secretary opened the door and said.
"Okay, take these scripts and go to the conference room."
Several people in the conference room were still discussing.
As Zheng Tong opened the door and came in, the conference room instantly became quiet.
"Send these scripts to everyone." Zheng Tong sat down and said.
""Infernal Affairs"!"
"Who wrote this script?"
After receiving the script, several screenwriters discussed it quietly.
After the secretary left, Zheng Channel said: "The script you have now was given to me by Mr. Tan. Everyone knows the next work. This is a police film. Li Yang, you are the most familiar with this type of film. Today Let you lead.”
Several screenwriters in the conference room expressed surprise when they heard that this was Mr. Tan's script.
Li Yang nodded heavily.
"Everyone, please familiarize yourself with the content of the script first, and then start dividing the script into shots."
Professional things must be done by professional people.
After all, Zheng Tong is not a professional screenwriter, he is just an organizer.
Several screenwriters looked through the script, and the one who read it most carefully was Li Yang. He had a very heavy task.
Zheng Tong read the script carefully again at this time.
The conference room fell into brief silence.
But from time to time someone will praise the script.
Nearly an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Tong saw that everyone had read the script and asked, "What do you think of this script?"
Li Yang said with emotion: "This "Infernal Affairs" is the best police movie script I have seen in the past ten years. It will definitely not be bad at the box office when it is made."
"That's good, everyone, let's start the next work."
A heated discussion began in the conference room, and Zheng Tong listened silently. Although he didn't know much about the script and shots, some problems could still be solved.
It wasn't until lunch that a few people temporarily put down their work.
...
...
The next day.
Hangzhou.
Warm home.
Li Yuan, who rarely gets up early on weekends, struggled to get out of bed. He would go to the airport to pick up his girlfriend later.
Li Yuan squinted his eyes and washed himself in the bathroom.
He is now up, but his soul is still lying in bed.
The alarm clock on my phone rang again. In order to prevent myself from oversleeping, I set the alarm clock every minute and patted my face hard several times while washing my face.
"Finally woke up." Li Yuan looked at himself in the mirror, picked up a razor and shaved his beard, returned to the bedroom, changed his clothes, and drove to the airport.
There is a dedicated road leading to the airport, and there are not too many vehicles on the road.
In forty minutes, Li Yuan arrived at the airport a little earlier than expected, waiting for his girlfriend's arrival.
Li Yuan waited at the airport pick-up gate for more than 20 minutes before he saw Zhao Yan and waved: "This way."
Zhao Yan was going back early tomorrow morning. She only carried a bag in her hand and said with a smile: "You performed well today. I was worried about you not being able to get up on the plane!"
"How could I be late for such an important thing?"
The two happily got into the car and went home.
"Shall we go watch a movie first after the party?" Zhao Yan said.
"Are there any good movies showing recently?"
Zhao Yan took out her mobile phone: "I don't know, I'll take a look first. By the way, have you heard of the movie "Dark Forest"?"
"I heard about it, and I also watched the interview. Many people on film forums are talking about this movie, and it's even on Weibo's hot search list."
"Yes, it's a science fiction movie. Let's watch it together when it comes out!"
"No problem." How could I refuse my girlfriend's invitation?
Li Yuan drove the car and said, "Do you think Teacher Tan will have any new movies this year?"
Zhao Yan swiped the phone interface and looked at the movies that were being shown: "I don't think the possibility is too great."
"I think so."
Li Yuan is still very much looking forward to Tan Yue's new movie: "Now many people are guessing what type Mr. Tan's next movie will be."
Not only are people discussing it on Weibo, but people are often speculating on film forums.
"Which one do you want to see?"
"Of course it's a martial arts action movie. I hope there will be another movie like "Kung Fu"."
There is no news at all on the Internet right now, and every fan hopes that the next movie will be of their favorite genre.
