Chapter 958 Actor's Choice

After the agent left, Ma Guoliang no longer had the heart to continue to think about his acting skills, and he became more and more curious about this new drama. What kind of drama is it that makes Tan Yue temporarily put down movies and shoot a TV series.

The company's development focus has shifted to movies, and he really can't understand why he would shoot 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 situation of this drama. After thinking about it again and again, Ma Guoliang got up and left the office, and took the elevator to the president's office on the eighth floor of the company.

As soon as the elevator door opened, he met Chen Ye holding a folder.

"Teacher Ma."

"Xiao Ye, is Mr. Tan here?"

"In the office."

"You go and get busy, I have something to do with Mr. Tan."

Chen Ye nodded and walked into the elevator and left.

Ma Guoliang came to the door of Tan Yue's office, raised his hand and knocked gently.

"Come in."

"Mr. Tan."

Hearing that it was Ma Guoliang's voice, Tan Yue put down his work and asked, "Mr. Ma, why are you here? Is there anything?"

Ma Guoliang sat down opposite Tan Yue, still feeling a little abrupt.

After all, the new drama has not been announced to the public yet.

After two or three seconds of hesitation, he opened his mouth and asked: "Mr. Tan, this may be a bit presumptuous."

"What is our relationship? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is nothing presumptuous."

"Okay." Ma Guoliang tried: "I heard recently that you are going to shoot a TV series?"

Tan Yue smiled and said: "Some time ago, many fans said that they wanted to watch a TV series shot by me, so I simply agreed. In recent years, all my energy has been focused on movies, and I took this opportunity to change my mind. The length of the TV series is not long, just more than ten episodes, and it is estimated that it will not take too much time and energy."

Ma Guoliang looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and thought that the company had readjusted its development strategy. He asked a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Tan, can you give me a role in this TV series?"

For drama fans, new dramas always have an inexplicable attraction. Besides, this drama was shot by Tan Yue himself, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed.

Seeing Tan Yue touching his chin and looking thoughtful, Ma Guoliang quickly said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, I said this too abruptly, please don't embarrass me."

Tan Yue smiled slightly: "Teacher Ma, you misunderstood me. I was considering which role you are suitable for. I didn't consider you before because I thought you were already famous internationally. Now I let you come back to play in a TV series suddenly, which is a bit..."

Ma Guoliang knew what Tan Yue was going to say and quickly interrupted: "For me, there is no big or small role. Every role is an opportunity to practice acting skills."

"It's agreed in advance that this role is not the male lead."

"It doesn't matter."

"Okay." Tan Yue made a decision: "This is a character in the play, Gong Biao, you take a look first."

Thinking of Ma Guoliang's rapid weight gain and weight loss for the role in "Kuang Biao" some time ago, he suddenly had an idea.

Gong Biao was very handsome and thin when he was young, but because of diabetes, his body shape was very different before and after.

Of course, makeup 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 distinctive role. Just looking at the content of the script, Ma Guoliang's mind has a very strong sense of the picture, full of Northeast flavor.

It is also a challenge for him, after all, he is not from the Northeast.

But this is not a problem.

There is such a joke circulating on the Internet that when there is a Northeast person in the dormitory, there will be a room full of Northeast people.

Ma Guoliang has already made up his mind. Constantly challenging new roles is the courage that an actor should have. You can't always take roles that suit you.

"It seems that you like this role 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 much. After you go back, study the role carefully. The time to start filming will be notified separately."

"I am confident that I can play Biaozi well."

Ma Guoliang took the script and the character biography and returned to his office. He was interrupted by a knock on the door after reading it for a while.

"Teacher Ma, a crew wants to invite you to play a role. Do you want to read the script first?" The agent asked after coming in.

"No, there's a new drama."

"New drama? What new drama?" The agent looked confused. How come he, the agent, didn't know anything about the new script that Ma Guoliang received.

Ma Guoliang reminded: "Remember the new drama of Mr. Tan you mentioned?"

The agent's pupils dilated instantly: "Did you just go to Mr. Tan?"

"Yes." Ma Guoliang said with a smile: "I asked Mr. Tan for a role."

"Is it the male lead?"

"No, it's the male second."

The agent immediately became anxious: "Mr. Ma, isn't it not good to take a male second role? You are now famous internationally. Isn't it too cheap and too low-profile to take a male second role?"

As an agent, he has the responsibility to remind Ma Guoliang.

"There is no such thing as a drop in price. First of all, this is Mr. Tan's new drama, and the quality is definitely beyond doubt. It will definitely be a hit drama. In addition, as an actor, as long as the script is good and the role is great, there is no reason to refuse."

Ma Guoliang looked at the script: "I could only take on some small roles at the beginning, but I was very happy at the time. Now that I am famous, I can't refuse a good drama just because I am not the male lead. If I 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 circle.

Some actors will undergo a drastic change in their mentality because of a popular drama. They think that they are popular and have a big status, so they should have more roles and pay, so they refuse to cooperate again.

The agent's original firm heart was shaken at this moment. He has been with this guy and witnessed Ma Guoliang's growth process all the way.

From an inconspicuous supporting role to a leading role, all kinds of roles have made Ma Guoliang's current status.

And now, with such achievements, Ma Guoliang can still accept the role of the second male lead in a drama. His agent sees a pure heart in him.

"I didn't think it through. I'm sorry, Mr. Ma."

Ma Guoliang waved his hand and said, "It's human nature. It's not your fault. No matter what you do, you must be in a high position. In the end, it will hurt yourself."

"Remember."

Ma Guoliang said, "Are there any Northeastern people around you?"

"Yes."

"That's it." Ma Guoliang told his agent the reason why he wanted to speak Northeastern dialect.

...

CEO's Office.

After Ma Guoliang left, Tan Yue finished processing the documents, looked at the list on the role list, and began to consider the candidate for the role of Shen Mo.

Shen Mo's image is a female college student. While her personality is friendly and cheerful, her mind is more stable and mature than her peers. For some reasons, she does not easily express her emotions, and she is organized and planned in her work. In her spare time, she often went to Victoria Club to play the piano and work-study. When faced with the guests' overtures and Mr. Lu's flower baskets, she asked the source and directly refused, resisting temptation and not catering to the guests.

Tan Yue's priority was naturally the younger generation of artists under the company, and she even opened the company's artist list on the computer to see if there were any suitable candidates. After thinking about it, it always felt that it was not suitable.

"Zizizi" Tan Yue took a sip of tea from the cup to clear his mind.

"Got it." A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Tan Yue's mind.

Although the age may not be suitable, for an actor, it is easier to control the role of a young actor in If You Are the One.

Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and called Liu Qian.

"Beep-beep-beep."

Five seconds later, Liu Xi'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."

"I'll be there right away." Liu Xi hadn't finished her words when she got up and left the office. When she was leaving, she happened to meet her agent: "I'm going to Mr. Tan's office. Wait for me to tell you something when I get back."

"Go ahead, come back quickly after you're done, it's very important." The agent received a call from a film crew, wanting to invite Liu Xi to play the leading female role.

When an artist is not famous, they have to listen to the agent's arrangements. When an artist is very famous in the circle, it's the other way around, but nothing is absolute.

The agent of a movie or TV series depends on Liu Xi's opinion.

Liu Xi sat in the elevator, looking at her reflection on the wall, and fell into deep thought: What does Mr. Tan want to talk to me about at this time? Is there another new movie?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Because in the past, whenever Tan Yue called her, it was about a new drama.

"I wonder what kind of movie Mr. Tan will shoot this time?" It was because she knew that Tan Yue's focus was on movies that she had this idea.

'Ding Dong'

The elevator door opened, Liu Qian withdrew her thoughts, and first came to Chen Ye's office to ask if Tan Yue was busy.

"Tan Yue is in the office, please follow me to take a look first, if I remember correctly, he should not be busy."

"Thank you."

Liu Qian followed Chen Ye and came to Tan Yue's office.

"Mr. Tan, Liu Qian has something to ask you."

"I know, I just called her and asked her to come over." Tan Yue said: "Xiao Ye, pour a glass of water."

Liu Qian sat opposite Tan Yue, and the two started chatting.

"Have you received some good scripts?"

Liu Qian shook her head: "There is no good drama, the competition is getting more and more fierce, and the internal competition is very serious."

During this period, she really didn't take many roles. She occasionally attended some activities, and stayed in the company to improve her acting skills.

"Drink water."

"Thank you."

After Chen Ye poured the water, he closed the door and left.

Tan Yue comforted her: "Don't worry, the more you need to keep your mind steady at this time."

"I will stick to my bottom line."

Liu Qian understood what Tan Yue meant. In such a situation, actors sometimes take on some bad dramas because of their impatience, which will affect their entire acting career.

Even if there is no more drama, she will never take a drama of poor quality.

Although her role in "Forrest Gump" is not too much, she also appeared in front of the global audience.

If she wants to continue to improve her fame, Liu Qian knows that she still needs a cumulative process.

After chatting, Tan Yue got down to business: "I'm going to make a TV series myself."

"That relationship is great! When netizens know about it, the Internet will definitely explode!" Liu Qian looked happy. She also saw many people urging Tan Yue to film a new TV series. She never thought that netizens' dreams would actually come true. Realized.

But whether it is a TV series or a movie, as long as it is Tan Yue's film and television work, the Internet will definitely be very lively.

Tan Yue smiled and continued: "This time I came to you for a female character who has a lot of roles in the play. After thinking about it, I think you are more suitable. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Yes, of course!" Liu Qian didn't hesitate at all and agreed without thinking.

As for the quality of the script, there is no need to worry at all.

As long as people in the industry know that Tan Yue has a new drama to start filming, they will definitely fight for a role. Now that such an opportunity fell directly on me, it was like pie in the sky, and there was no reason to refuse.

"This TV series is much shorter than other TV series, so overall, there are not many scenes. You have to be mentally prepared."

Liu Qian said nonchalantly: "As long as there are scenes, that's fine for me. I don't have high requirements in this regard."

Tan Yue nodded with satisfaction. If an actor has such an attitude, he will definitely achieve great success in the future.

This is also the attitude that a professional actor should have, but many people can't do it because of the so-called celebrity status.

Tan Yue was very happy to have several such actors in the company. This was also an atmosphere. First-line actors like Ma Guoliang and Liu Qian can play small roles, which is more helpful for other artists to learn from.

Tan Yue flipped through and found a folder: "Here are the character biographies, plot outlines and scripts. You should understand them first, and we will start auditioning later."

Of course, auditioning is indispensable, except for Ma Guoliang.

Ma Guoliang's current acting skills are recognized by the company as number one, and Tan Yue has great confidence in him.

"OK."

Liu Qian took the folder and opened the biography first.

"Female college student!" Liu Qian was somewhat surprised, after all, her age was showing off here.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no." She was surprised, but she was still confident that she could play this role well.

Age doesn't matter.

After reading the biographies, Liu Qian had a preliminary understanding of her role and was at least 70 to 80% sure.

Then Liu Qian opened the script and read it carefully.

Many things in the biographies were briefly mentioned. She wanted to see what happened to Shen Mo?

Tan Yue on the other side continued working and processing documents.
