Chapter 928 Selection of Actors(1/2)
After his agent left, Ma Guoliang had no intention of continuing to study his acting skills, and became more and more curious about this new drama. What kind of drama was it that allowed Tan Yue to temporarily put aside movies to film a TV series?
The company's development focus has shifted to movies. He really can't understand why it would make a TV series at this time?
Ma Guoliang shook his head and thought: Mr. Tan's decision is not something he should care about.
But he really wanted to know about the show. After thinking about it again and again, Ma Guoliang got up and left the office, took the elevator to the president's office on the eighth floor of the company.
As soon as the elevator door opened, I met Chen Ye holding a folder.
"Teacher Ma."
"Xiaoye, is Mr. Tan here?"
"In the office."
"Go and do your work, I have something to do with Mr. Tan."
Chen Ye nodded with a "hmm" and walked into the elevator and left.
Ma Guoliang came to the door of Tan Yue's office, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in."
"Mr. Tan."
Hearing Ma Guoliang's voice, Tan Yue put down what he was doing and asked, "Teacher Ma, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Ma Guoliang sat down opposite Tan Yue, still feeling a little abrupt.
After all, this new drama has not yet been announced to the public.
After two or three seconds of hesitation, he finally opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Tan, this may be a bit presumptuous."
"What's the relationship between us? If you have anything to do, just say it directly. There's nothing presumptuous."
"Okay." Ma Guoliang asked tentatively: "I recently heard that you are going to make a TV series?"
Tan Yue said with a smile: "Some time ago, many fans said they wanted to watch a TV series made by me, so they simply agreed. In the past few years, all my energy has been focused on movies, and I also took this opportunity to change my mind. TV series
The length is not long, just over ten episodes, so it probably won’t take too much time and energy.”
Ma Guoliang looked like he suddenly realized it, thinking that the company had readjusted its development strategy, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Tan, can you give me a role in this TV series?"
For drama lovers, new dramas always have an inexplicable attraction. Moreover, this drama was filmed by Tan Yue himself, so the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
Seeing Tan Yue touching his chin and looking thoughtful, Ma Guoliang said quickly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, I said this too abruptly. Don't embarrass me."
Tan Yue smiled slightly: "Mr. Ma, you misunderstood me. I was thinking about which role you are suitable for. I didn't consider you before because I thought you were already famous internationally. Now I want you to come back suddenly to act in a TV series.
More or less..."
Ma Guoliang knew what Tan Yue was going to say and quickly interrupted: "For me, there is no big or small role. Every role I play is an opportunity to practice my acting skills."
"I told you in advance that this role is not the male lead."
"It's okay."
"Okay." Tan Yue made a decision: "This is Gong Biao, a character in the play. Take a look first."
Thinking of Ma Guoliang's rapid weight gain and weight loss not long ago for the role in "Hurry Up", he suddenly had an idea.
When he was young, Gong Biao was very handsome and slim. Later, due to diabetes, there was a huge difference in body shape.
Of course, makeup assistance is also needed.
Ma Guoliang took the script and read it carefully.
Tan Yue lowered his head and continued to process the documents.
After a while, a 'pop' sound was heard in the quiet office.
Ma Guoliang patted his thigh and said happily: "That's him."
This is a very unique character. Just looking at the content in the script, the image in Ma Guoliang's mind is very strong, full of Northeastern flavor.
It's also a challenge for him, since he's not from the Northeast after all.
But this is not a problem.
There is a joke circulating on the Internet that when there is one Northeasterner in the dormitory, there will be a room full of Northeasterners.
Ma Guoliang already has an idea in his mind. Constantly challenging new roles is the courage an actor should have. He cannot always only accept roles that suit him.
"It seems that you like this character very much." Looking at the smile on Ma Guoliang's face, Tan Yue knew his decision: "As long as you are satisfied, I won't say anything more. I will study the character carefully when I go back.
The start-up time will be notified later.”
"I am confident that I will play Biaozi well."
Ma Guoliang took the script and character biographies and returned to his office. Not long after reading, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Teacher Ma, there is a production team that wants to invite you to play a role. Do you want to read the script first?" the agent came in and asked.
"No need, there's a new drama."
"New drama? What new drama?" The agent looked confused. Why did Ma Guoliang, as an agent, not know anything about the new script he received?
Ma Guoliang reminded: "Do you still remember Mr. Tan's new drama you mentioned?"
The agent's childishness suddenly enlarged: "Did you just go to see Mr. Tan?"
"Yes." Ma Guoliang said with a smile: "I asked Mr. Tan for a role."
"Is he the male lead?"
"No, he's the second male lead."
The agent immediately became anxious: "Mr. Ma, is it not good to accept a role as a second male lead? You are now famous internationally. Is it too low-priced and too low-level to accept a role as a second male lead?
."
As an agent, he has the responsibility to remind Ma Guoliang.
"There is no such thing as a price reduction. First of all, this is Mr. Tan's new drama, and the quality cannot be said for sure. It will definitely be a popular drama. In addition, as an actor, as long as the script is good and the characters are great, there is no reason to refuse.
"
Ma Guoliang looked at the script: "I think I could only take some small roles at the beginning, but I was already very happy at that time. Now that I have become famous, I can't refuse a good drama just because I'm not the male lead.
.If you miss a good drama because of this, it is not the director's loss, but the actor's loss."
What Ma Guoliang said is also a phenomenon in the industry.
Some actors will undergo earth-shaking changes in their mentality because a drama becomes popular. They think that since they are popular and have a big reputation, they should have more roles and remuneration, so they refuse to cooperate again.
The manager's originally firm heart was shaken at this moment. He had been following this guy and witnessed Ma Guoliang's growth process.
From humble supporting roles to protagonists, a variety of roles have made Ma Guoliang his current status.
But now, with such achievements, Ma Guoliang can still accept the role of the second lead actor in a drama. The agent sees the innocence in him.
"I didn't think carefully. I'm sorry, Teacher Ma."
Ma Guoliang waved his hand and said: "It's human nature, I don't blame you for this. No matter what you do, you must always think of yourself in a high position, otherwise it will harm yourself."
"remember."
Ma Guoliang asked: "Are there any Northeasterners around you?"
"have."
"That's it..." Ma Guoliang told his agent the reason why he wanted to speak Northeastern dialect.
...
…
President's Office.
After Ma Guoliang left, Tan Yue finished processing the documents, looked at the list of characters on the role list, and began to consider candidates for the role of Silence.
The image of Silence is that of a female college student. She has a friendly and cheerful personality, and at the same time, her mind is more stable and mature than her peers. For some reasons, she does not show her emotions easily, and she is organized and planned in her work. In her spare time, she often goes to the Victoria Club to play the piano and work-study. Faced with
When Mr. Lu sent a flower basket as a sign of goodwill from a guest, she refused directly after asking the source. She could resist the temptation and did not cater to the guest.
Tan Yue's priority was naturally the younger generation of artists under the company. He even opened the company's artist list on his computer to see if there were any suitable candidates. After thinking about it, he always felt that it was not suitable.
"Zizizzi" Tan Yue picked up the cup and took a sip of tea to clear his mind.
"Yes." An idea flashed, and Liu Qian suddenly appeared in Tan Yue's mind.
Although the age may not be suitable, for actors, it is easier to control Feicheng if he is old and young.
Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu Qian's number.
"Both - all - all -."
Five seconds later, Liu Qian's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Tan."
"Are you in the company now?"
"Yes, I'm in the office."
"Come to my office now, I have something to do."
