After Lin Qingye returned to the office, he first dealt with the unfinished work in hand. The most important task at the moment was to notify the actors who had passed the audition.
After completing the final confirmation of the personnel list, Lin Qingye called his secretary to the office and explained: "Contact the actors according to this list, inform them that the audition has passed, and give them two days to Come to the company to sign the contract, otherwise it will become invalid upon expiration."
After the secretary left, Lin Qingye lay on the chair to rest for a while and began to think about the dinner party.
In fact, it is not difficult for him to have a dinner party with the crew. The more difficult thing is to see if everyone has time to have a meal together.
Lin Qingye suddenly remembered Tan Yue's time, so he dialed Chen Ye's number.
"Director Lin."
"Ms. Chen, I want to ask you something."
"You say."
"Mr. Tan, are you free this Friday night?"
"Wait a minute." Chen Ye looked at Tan Yue's worksheet and said, "Mr. Tan has an event on Friday night and has no arrangements for Saturday night. He said that if you ask his time, it can be done on weekend nights."
】
"Thank you." Lin Qingye hung up the phone and decided to schedule the dinner party for Saturday night.
After all, he is Tan Yue's screenwriter, and Lin Qingye still hopes that he can be present.
Then they started calling other people. Zhou Can and Zhang Wenhua both had time and agreed immediately.
"Zhang Shengwen." Lin Qingye suddenly remembered that he didn't have Zhang Shengwen's contact information, so he dug through the submitted information and found it.
'All - all - all. '
"Hello."
Zhang Shengwen's voice came out.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, I am Lin Qingye."
"Ah? Director Lin." Zhang Shengwen said in surprise.
Lin Qingye smiled and said, "I'm calling because I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter? You say."
Lin Qingye got down to business: "I'm going to have the crew get together for a meal first. Do you have time on Saturday night?"
"If I have time, I will definitely go there on Saturday."
"Okay, the mobile phone number is your WeChat, right?"
"yes."
"Go through it later and I'll send you the time and place."
After Zhang Shengwen hung up the phone, he received the notification and immediately approved Lin Qingye's request to add a friend.
Even if he doesn't have time, he will definitely make time to go to this dinner. So far, Zhang Shengwen doesn't know who is on the crew.
Bright Entertainment Company has always been strict in casting, and since this is Tan Yue's work, they must all be very capable actors, so we just take this opportunity to get to know them.
"Crazy" is a very good script, and Zhang Shengwen really wanted to know which actor in the industry would be the male lead opposite him.
Lin Qingye contacted several main creative staff, and asked his secretary to notify other important supporting actors.
After the busy work, Lin Qingye came to the window, stretched his body and took a long breath. The corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, gearing up for a big fight.
Anti-gang criminal investigation dramas are a relatively unpopular subject in the film and television circles, and there are very few works that have achieved good results. Moreover, this time there is also the support of the General Administration of Culture. He has a strong intuition that "Cyclone" will definitely become a hit.
Although this was Lin Qingye's first exposure to this kind of subject, and the difficulty was self-evident, after understanding the script, he wanted to challenge it.
Lin Qingye took his thoughts back and thought about the next work in his mind. The actors had already been determined, and the preparation of props and venues had to be speeded up.
...
...
the other side.
Zhang Shengwen put his phone aside and continued to study the script intently.
The most important task at the moment is to master all the scripts and characters before the TV series starts.
Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on how well you master the characters.
The agent opened the door softly and came in. He glanced at Zhang Shengwen who was studying the script and did not disturb him.
I sat on the sofa and poured myself a cup of tea. I tasted it happily. After I felt better, the tea that had no taste in the past seemed to taste much better.
The agent put the cup on the coffee table, lay down on the sofa, and looked at the ceiling with a silly smile on his face.
He had not yet recovered from his excitement. He remembered that day Zhang Shengwen said that he was going to audition for Bright Entertainment Company, but he didn't take it to heart at all, thinking that going was just a fill-in.
Is it because my vision is bad? The agent doubted himself a little.
Zhang Shengwen has been under his command for five or six years. At this age, it is even more difficult to become popular than to reach the sky.
The agent even thinks that in a few years, Zhang Shengwen will soon reach the age of retirement, and this will be the case for the rest of his life.
However, Zhang Shengwen actually got the role of the second male lead in the drama written by Tan Yue.
"When did you come back?"
Zhang Shengwen's voice brought him back to reality.
"I just sat down and saw that you were studying the script so I didn't bother you." The agent stood up and said, "Leave the small job of collecting water to me, and you can focus all your energy on the script."
"no, I'm fine."
"Just leave it to me." The very "realistic" agent grabbed the cup from Zhang Shengwen's hand and said, "Wait for me for a while."
"This..." Zhang Shengwen smiled helplessly and had no choice but to sit back, feeling filled with emotions.
Not long after, the agent came back with a glass of hot water.
"Thank you."
"Thank you for anything, it's just a small matter. You go about your business first, and I won't disturb you anymore."
"I have something to tell you." Zhang Shengwen put down the script in his hand and said, "Director Lin Qingye just called me and asked me to go to a dinner party on Saturday."
"Go, of course I have to go, I have to go." The agent said excitedly: "This is a good opportunity. I can get to know other actors, and maybe I can see Tan Yue."
Whenever there is a dinner party for the crew, their manager will let them go. The wine table is a good opportunity to broaden the scope of friendship. For a young actor, maybe he will be remembered by the director and he may have the opportunity to continue taking roles.
"I have already agreed." Zhang Shengwen nodded and said, "I thought I could gain experience."
The manager held his chin, observed Zhang Shengwen carefully, and said, "Come out with me."
"What?"
Zhang Shengwen was confused.
"Of course I'm going to buy a suitable dress." The agent said, "Your dress is not suitable for such an important occasion. Let's go buy a good one so that we can save face when the time comes."
"No need." Zhang Shengwen refused, dumbfounded, "I have clothes, there's no need to buy any more."
"Really?" The agent had never seen Zhang Shengwen wearing any decent clothes, so he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Don't worry."
The agent was still a little worried: "Bring the clothes you want to wear tomorrow and let me take a look at them. If they don't fit, we still have time to buy new ones."
Zhang Shengwen agreed.
...
...
Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.
Tan Yue was looking at the documents in his hand when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Mr. Tan." Chen Ye opened the door and came in, saying: "Director Lin Qingye has scheduled a dinner party for the crew at the Tianling Hotel, this Saturday night at six o'clock."
Tan Yue said: "Okay, I understand."
There was no work schedule that day, so Tan Yue still wanted to have a meal with everyone, mainly to get to know Zhang Shengwen.
The two only met once, and it was because of work.
Tan Yue wanted to take a closer look at what kind of person Zhang Shengwen was in normal times. Maybe there would be opportunities to continue cooperation in the future.
After Chen Ye went out, Tan Yue lowered his head and continued to process the documents.
...
...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ruishan Community.
During the rare weekend break, Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu were lying on the sofa watching a movie.
"This movie is good."
As the movie ends, the subtitles begin to appear.
Tan Yue picked up a small piece of cut watermelon and fed it to Chen Ziyu.
Chen Ziyu chewed the watermelon and said, "Haven't you seen it?"
Tan Yue shook his head and said, "No."
"I didn't expect that you haven't seen such a classic movie." Chen Ziyu remembered that this should be a classic foreign movie in the 1980s. Although the box office was not high at the time, its subsequent influence was still very huge.
Tan Yue spread his hands and said, "How could I possibly have seen all the classic movies in the past?"
Chen Ziyu nodded thoughtfully. During their breaks, the two of them would often lie at home and watch some old movies, many of which she had never seen before.
Tan Yue pressed the pause button on the remote control.
Chen Ziyu stretched, lay in Tan Yue's arms, and said, "What shall we eat tonight?"
Tan Yue stroked Chen Ziyu's smooth hair: "Ziyu, I have a dinner party tonight, you can eat at home."
"What kind of dinner?"
"Director Lin organized a dinner party for the crew of "Hurry Up". This time there were several new actors and brought everyone together for a meal."
"I heard that the second male lead this time is a less famous actor?"
Tan Yue nodded and said, "Yes, this person's temperament is somewhat similar to the character in the play, and his acting skills are also very good. He can afford this role."
Chen Ziyu smiled and said: "Others choose popular artists in order to ensure ratings. You don't act according to common sense every time."
Tan Yue smiled and said nothing. Everyone has their own shining point. It depends on whether the director can tap out the potential of the actors. Especially veteran drama stars like Zhang Shengwen, who have no shortage of acting skills, are just missing a chance to skyrocket.
"It should be almost time, right?"
Tan Yue picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was five thirty-six and said, "It's time to go."
There is more traffic on the road at this time of the weekend, so start early to avoid being late.
Chen Ziyu said with concern: "Drink less alcohol at night."
Tan Yue said softly and kissed Chen Ziyu on the forehead: "I'm leaving. There are still a lot of dishes in the refrigerator. You can cook some while you watch. Don't order takeout."
"I know, please be safe on the road."
Tan Yue changed his clothes, drove out and went straight to Tianling Hotel.
...
...
Tianling Hotel, Plum Blossom Hall.
With the arrival of the crew of "Hurry Up", the entire hall became lively.
Some have been here many times, and some are here for the first time. You can see the excitement on their faces.
"Cuican Entertainment Company is so impressive. Come to such a high-end hotel for dinner."
"People from other companies often have dinner at this place. If you look at the people with their heads down and playing with their mobile phones, you can tell that they are from the Bright Company. They have been here many times."
"I've said the word "envy" enough times, but I still can't help but want to say one more thing. I'm so sad."
"Look, Director Lin is here."
After Lin Qingye arrived, many people gathered around him and said hello.
"Everyone, please sit down. You're welcome."
"Director Lin." Zhang Shengwen came forward to say hello.
Lin Qingye said politely: "Teacher Zhang, when did you arrive?"
"I just arrived not long ago."
Zhang Shengwen's clothes are simple and decent, and these are his own clothes.
The agent suggested that he dress more formally, but he refused. This was a dinner party, not a red carpet.
The two sat together and chatted for a while, then they saw Zhou Can, Zhang Wenhua, Ma Guoliang and others coming in from the door.
Zhang Shengwen was not only shocked but also shocked.
These people are all very famous actors in the industry. No matter who they are, their rankings and popularity are completely different from mine, and I will appear in the same TV series as them next.
Lin Qingye began to introduce: "This is the second male lead in the play, Teacher Zhang Shengwen."
"Hello!" Zhang Shengwen was a little embarrassed, feeling like he was playing tricks on Guan Gong.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang." This time Zhou Can was the first to come out and shake hands: "I didn't expect you to be the second male lead in this drama."
Seeing the confusion on Lin Qingye's face, Zhang Shengwen explained: "The two of us met in Mr. Tan's office before."
"That's great." Lin Qingye said, "Zhou Can is the male lead in this drama."
Zhang Shengwen was stunned. The last time the two of them met, they were still dreaming about working with Zhou Can. Unexpectedly, the fantasy had become a reality now.
"Please give me your advice!"
Zhou Can said: "I have to ask you for advice."
Zhang Shengwen excitedly shook hands with Zhang Wenhua, Ma Guoliang and others.
"It seems you all know each other now!"
A familiar voice interrupted everyone's chat.
"Mr. Tan."
"Mr. Tan."
Not only Lin Qingye, but also other people in the Plum Blossom Hall came over to say hello to Tan Yue.
After Tan Yue responded, everyone sat down.
"Mr. Tan, sit here." Lin Qingye pulled out the chair in the middle of the main table.
Tan Yue waved his hand and refused: "You should take this seat today."
After all, the director of this drama is Lin Qingye. In China's national conditions, the director is the leader of a film and television work.
"This won't work."
"Sit down, Director Lin."
Seeing Tan Yue's attitude, everyone began to persuade him. After everyone's persuasion, Lin Qingye had no choice but to sit on the main seat.
"Teacher Zhang, please sit next to Zhou Can." Lin Qingye noticed that Zhang Shengwen was a little reserved.
"Teacher Zhang, please sit down."
"Thank you, thank you, I'll do it myself."
Zhang Shengwen took the chair from Zhou Can.
After everyone sat down, the waiter began to serve the food.
After pouring the wine, Lin Qingye picked up the glass, stood up, and said, "First of all, thank you Mr. Tan for your support, otherwise I would not have the opportunity to direct such a drama."
He drank one glass of wine and picked up the second glass: "It will be hard for you all in the next period of time. We will all work together to perfectly present Mr. Tan's drama on the screen."
"Finally, I wish "Kurdant" a huge success in ratings!"
After Lin Qingye drank three glasses of wine in a row, the atmosphere at the scene became lively.
