Beijing.
Bright Entertainment Company.
President's Office, Tan Yue's Office.
"Xiao Ye, please come in." Tan Yue looked at the document in his hand and made sure there was nothing wrong with it.
"Mr. Tan."
"Send these two documents to the new media department."
"OK."
Chen Ye took the folder and turned to the new media department.
Tan Yue picked up the tea cup and took a sip, stood up and came to the window, still wearing a massager around his neck.
This massager is relatively small and convenient to wear around the neck without affecting daily activities.
Tan Yue stood by the window for more than ten minutes, looking into the distance without thinking about anything.
"Huh?" The massager suddenly stopped working. Tan Yue thought there was a malfunction. He took out his phone and looked at it before realizing that the massager had no power.
Take off the massager, return to your desk, and plug in the massager to charge.
After stretching, Tan Yue opened the list of characters in "Infernal Affairs" and began to select suitable actors for the roles in the play.
"Infernal Affairs" is a movie with two male protagonists. One of the protagonists, Chen Yongren, is an undercover agent sent by the police.
This role, Tan Yue, is going to be played by Ma Guoliang.
As a general of the Bright Entertainment Company, Ma Guoliang did not arrange a role for him in "Nirvana in Fire" because he considered that the role of Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs" was more suitable for him.
After the baptism of several film and television works, Ma Guoliang can be said to have stepped into the ranks of veteran actors.
In the actor industry, being called a seasoned actor shows that your acting skills have been recognized by the audience.
The biggest reason why Ma Guoliang is so valued by Tan Yue is that he can act like anything. Changing a role is like changing a person. He fully integrates into the role and will not make the audience feel uncomfortable.
Such actors will have greater room for development in the future, and Tan Yue continues to create opportunities for Ma Guoliang.
Tan Yue wrote Ma Guoliang's name behind Chen Yongren.
Don't worry about Ma Guoliang's acting skills, he can perfectly interpret the role of Chen Yongren.
And more importantly, Ma Guoliang's character is similar to his character, both are calm and taciturn.
In the movie, Chen Yongren’s lifelong ambition is to become a good policeman.
He applied for the police force and was selected into a core undercover program.
When success was in sight, the bosses responsible for the plan died one after another.
Chen Yongren faces a dilemma: restore his identity or continue his mission.
Being an undercover agent for many years has caused Chen Yongren to suffer great physical and mental distress. He suffers from severe insomnia and is prone to violence and self-mutilation.
Such a character is a great test for the actor's acting skills.
Tony Leung, the actor who played the role on Earth, won Best Actor.
Tan Yue feels that Ma Guoliang's performance in this role will be of great help to his future development.
Liu Jianming, the other protagonist in "Infernal Affairs", Tan Yue is temporarily planning to let Zhang Wenhua star.
Zhang Wenhua has also made great progress during this period. He has filmed three TV series and one movie. His performances in all aspects are pretty good. He has gained a group of fans with his acting skills. After experience, he obviously feels much more mature and no longer looks like In the past, it gave people a childish feeling.
"Tum thump thump."
Tan Yue tapped his fingers on the table, constantly considering Zhang Wenhua's compatibility with this role.
"Let's just settle him for now."
Then Zhang Wenhua's name appeared on the list.
However, there is still a lot of uncertainty, and this matter will not be confirmed until after the trial.
Tan Yue treats each of his film and television works extremely seriously and harshly. The actors he looks for must be able to fully interpret the characters. Only in this way can he be worthy of these excellent works.
Every film and television work he has produced has achieved very good results on earth. Naturally, Tan Yue does not want so many good works to be destroyed in his own hands.
There were many more characters on the list. Tan Yue looked at them for a while before turning off
Drop the page.
Now he has a rough idea of the actors for several important roles. Like "Nirvana in Fire", he plans to hand over the candidates for other roles in "Infernal Affairs" to Zheng Tong, director of the film department, for selection.
But the final decision still lies in your own hands.
After so many casting selections, whether it is the film department or the TV series department, the actors selected can basically meet the requirements.
Tan Yue felt relieved to leave this matter to them.
Even if there are unsuitable actors, there is still a trial period, and there will be enough time to replace the actors at that time.
Tan Yue's task for the next period of time is to select suitable actors for "Nirvana in Fire" and "Infernal Affairs".
Once the actors are confirmed, filming can begin.
In Tan Yue's plan, "Infernal Affairs" will be launched earlier than "Nirvana in Fire".
After all, "Infernal Affairs" is a movie.
Both the preparatory work before the start of filming and the selection of actors will be much simpler than that of "Nirvana in Fire".
"Nirvana in Fire" is the last large-scale costume drama.
Just preparing the costumes and props takes a lot of time.
Moreover, Tan Yue has very high requirements for costumes in costume dramas, and he pays special attention to such details.
Just like when I was filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the amount of money spent on costumes and jewelry reached a terrifying amount.
Tan Yue has always believed that only by completing these details to the extreme will the possibility of a ratings explosion increase.
Picking up the cup, taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and dialed Ma Guoliang's number.
"Guoliang, how have you been resting recently?"
During the filming of "Kung Fu" the day before, Ma Guoliang did not play a role in the movie and received an invitation to star in another movie.
Tan Yue knew that it was easy for Ma Guoliang to get into the role and it would take some time to get out of it.
Ma Guoliang smiled knowingly: "Thank you, Mr. Tan, for your concern. I have stepped out of my role."
In fact, being too easy to assume the role is not a good thing for an actor.
If the role is relatively depressing, it will have a great impact on the actor's own mental health.
Tan Yue asked this because he was worried that Ma Guoliang would play Chen Yongren before he had finished his last role, which might have an impact on Ma Guoliang's psychology.
Ma Guoliang is now very famous in the industry and often receives invitations for film scripts. After adjustments, the situation of being too involved in the film has improved a lot.
"I just wrote a script, and there is a role that suits you very well. Do you have time to come over and star in it?"
"Okay, no problem." Ma Guoliang agreed quickly after hearing this, trying his best to control his excitement.
Tan Yue added: "This time the role is the protagonist."
Ma Guoliang said nonchalantly: "As long as there is a role in your script, Mr. Tan, I can play any role."
For him, as long as he can have a role in Tan Yue's movie, it is enough. After all, Tan Yue is the guarantee that the movie will be a hit.
"Okay, I will ask Chen Ye to send you the script later. You can read it first."
After hanging up the phone, Ma Guoliang finally couldn't control himself and laughed out loud.
Tan Yue called Zhang Wenhua again.
Zhang Wenhua's reaction was much stronger than that of Ma Guoliang, but there was also a lot of pressure, and it has not yet been determined.
But Zhang Wenhua was very confident that he could win this role. After hanging up the phone with Tan Yue, he went to the acting teacher to ask questions.
...
...
A week later.
Zheng Tong held a document in his hand and knocked on the office door.
"Please come in!"
"Mr. Tan." Zheng Tong handed the document to Tan Yue: "This is the final list of candidates for all the roles in "Infernal Affairs". Take a look."
Tan Yue put down his work, took the list and read it.
Zhang Wenhua's name was clearly on the list. His performance during the audition surprised Tan Yue. Even Ma Guoliang, who was acting with him at the time, was full of praise for him.
Tan Yue confirmed on the spot that Zhang Wenhua would play the role of Liu Jianming.
Tan Yue also participated in the audition sessions for several other important supporting roles, and they were all filmed at the time without any problems.
Zheng Tong was responsible for selecting other small roles, and there were also artists from other entertainment companies on the list.
Zheng Tong sat across from him nervously, waiting for Tan Yue's reply.
Tan Yue looked at the actors' names. If they were familiar, he would look them up on the computer if they were unfamiliar.
Half an hour later, Tan Yue said, "No problem, just follow this list."
"Okay." Zheng Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was not the first time, he was still worried that the actor he chose would not be to Mr. Tan's liking.
The cast of "Infernal Affairs" has been confirmed, and the next step can be started.
Tan Yue arranged: "We can start arranging the costumes, props and venue."
Zheng Tong was refreshed and the filming of "Infernal Affairs" could start soon.
After reading the script of "Infernal Affairs", he has been sketching scenes in his mind and wants to see the movie as soon as possible.
Zheng Tong left Tan Yue's office and walked much faster than when he came, wanting to quickly complete the preparatory work before the filming of the movie.
Tan Yue continued to process the documents in his hands. Before he finished processing the documents on his desk, Chen Ye knocked on the door and came in and delivered a few more.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Tan Yue signed his name on the last document: "Xiaoye, please send these documents over."
After Chen Ye left, Tan Yue drank some water, got up from his chair and moved his body.
Then he picked up the phone and called Xu Nuo.
Before Tan Yue spoke, Xu Nuo said directly: "Playing ball?"
"Yes, are you busy over there?"
"I'm not busy, but I have a request. You can't run again before playing this time."
Every time Tan Yue asked him to play billiards, he would run on the treadmill for half an hour, which was really a bit of torture for him.
"you..."
"Stop, just be fat if you're fat. There are always people who like my body type." Xu Nuo knew what Tan Yue was going to say, so he interrupted without giving him a chance to speak.
"..." Tan Yue was speechless: "Okay, let's go to the gym now."
Xu Nuo came to the gym ahead of Tan Yue. When he saw Tan Yue approaching, he said angrily: "Today I will let you see how strong I am in a state of complete victory."
The two picked up their favorite clubs and started a new round of competition.
Unknowingly, the two reached the fifth set.
Compared with Tan Yue's calmness, Xu Nuo looked a little anxious. He only won the first game.
There is currently only one black eight left in the fifth game.
"Fat man, hurry up. You've been thinking about this ball for two minutes. Haven't you figured out how to hit it yet?"
"Don't worry, watch me win it in one fell swoop." As soon as he finished speaking, the club was shot out.
"How could this happen?!" The white ball went into the bag, Xunuo patted his head and said regretfully: "I used too much force."
Tan Yue laughed, and easily won the fifth game with a free kick.
In a week, Tan Yue's billiards skills improved rapidly, and Xu Nuo was no longer his opponent.
Tan Yue smiled and said, "Are you still fighting?"
Xu Nuo waved his hand and said with a guilty conscience: "I still have some work to go back and deal with. That's it for today."
Starting today, Xu Nuo has become resistant to billiards. He has been playing billiards for so long, and he never thought he would lose to Tan Yue, who has only been playing billiards for a month.
On the elevator, Xu Nuo asked in confusion: "Old Tan, how come your technology has improved so fast?"
Tan Yue said something heartbreaking: "Maybe it's talent."
...
…
…
afternoon.
After his lunch break, Tan Yue stood by the window to clear his mind and think about the next work.
Before "Infernal Affairs" started filming, Tan Yue prepared to do something.
After a while, Chen Ye was called to the office.
"Xiaoye, go to the public relations department and ask Director Wu to come to my office."
After Chen Ye left for a while, Wu Gong came to Tan Yue's office.
"Sit down first, Mr. Wu, I need to give you some work tasks."
Wu Gong listened carefully.
Tan Yue took out two documents from the folder: "This is the synopsis of a new movie and the biographies of the two protagonists. Take a look at it first."
Wu Gong was a little shocked. He didn't need to think too much to know that this was Mr. Tan's new movie. He took the outline of the script and there were three big words written on it - "Infernal Affairs".
While Wu Gong was watching, Tan Yue said: "You should consider the preliminary publicity plan for this movie."
The movie has not yet started filming. Tan Yue started making a publicity plan so early. The main purpose is to let netizens know the type of the new movie in advance.
I don’t know how many people are asking about the genre of the new movie every day. Tan Yue feels it is necessary to reveal it to fans.
There is another purpose of promoting it so early. "Infernal Affairs" is a police film.
It can be classified as a small category film by the General Administration of Culture, and this type of film is not very active in the market.
By doing publicity in advance, you can increase the popularity in advance and let more people pay attention to the movie.
The real large-scale publicity for the movie comes after it is completed.
Wu Gong nodded in response.
After a moment, Wu Gong said, "Mr. Tan, I now have two publicity plans."
"So fast!" Tan Yue was a little surprised.
Wu Gong said quickly: "It's just a general idea now. I'll go back to the department to sort it out and give you the results."
Having worked in the public relations department for such a long time, when Wu Gong was reading the script, he was already thinking about how to promote it.
But now the two ideas in Wu Gong's mind are only in rough shape, and what Tan Yue needs is a complete publicity plan.
Later, Wu Guild will make both plans. As for which one he will choose, it depends on Tan Yue's final choice.
"good."
Wu Gong left Tan Yue's office and hurried towards the public relations department.
