Chapter 1052: Excitement

Two weeks later.

In Beijing, the air was filled with heat, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Brilliant Entertainment, the president's office.

Tan Yue looked at the computer intently, his fingers typing quickly on the keyboard.

This morning, after finishing the company's documents, he started writing the script of "The Shawshank Redemption".

In the past two weeks, except for work time, he spent almost all his energy on the script.

During this period, two companies invited Tan Yue to attend events, but he refused directly.

First of all, there was no need to attend these events.

These two companies are partners and have cooperated with Brilliant Entertainment for several years.

Tan Yue is the vice president of Brilliant Entertainment and has a high status in the entertainment industry. Inviting him to go is a hot topic.

However, Tan Yue has never been interested in such activities, so he refused.

Secondly, Chen Ziyu has already represented Brilliant Entertainment in person and given the other party enough face.

Lines of dialogue and storyboards used during filming appeared on the document.

As of now, there is still a small section of the entire script that will be completed soon, which is the same as the estimated time at that time.

Half an hour later.

As the sound of typing disappeared, Tan Yue leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

It took 18 days to complete the script of "The Shawshank Redemption".

Feeling a little thirsty, Tan Yue picked up the cup of water at hand and drank the remaining tea water.

Looking at this movie called "The First in Film History" on Earth, he was about to start filming, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.

The movie "The Shawshank Redemption" can be called "The First in Film History", naturally not because of its box office performance, but it was later accepted and recognized by the public.

With the blessing of "The Godfather" achieving the second best box office performance in global film history, Tan Yue has become famous all over the world.

And the quality of "The Shawshank Redemption" is so high that he believes that it will definitely achieve excellent box office results when it is released.

Tan Yue stood by the window, looking at the bustling streets outside with a serious face.

The movie "The Shawshank Redemption" plays an extremely important role for both himself and the entire Brilliant Entertainment Company.

As long as it can get good box office in the global film market, its status will inevitably usher in another improvement.

I don't know how many people are discussing that Tan Yue may not continue to make movies, just like the director of "Night City".

Because if the next movie is not well made, there will still be many people to criticize, so it is better to enjoy the current status.

But Tan Yue not only wants to make a movie, but also to make a better and more outstanding movie.

A few minutes later.

Tan Yue returned to the computer and looked through the script. He first checked the content he had just written today.

Today's state is good. After checking all the content, he did not find any problems from it, not even a typo.

Sliding the mouse, he returned to the first page of the document.

Tan Yue plans to read it again from the beginning. If there is no problem, he will also consider the next plan.

Time passed by minute by minute, and he checked it word by word seriously.

The importance of the script naturally needs no further mention. Even a wrong word or a word may affect the actor's understanding of the plot.

Fortunately, Tan Yue has always had the habit of checking every day. After checking the entire script, there were no mistakes caused by carelessness.

Tan Yue picked up the cup that was refilled with water and took a sip of tea.

After clicking Save, he looked at the "Shawshank Redemption" folder and thought for a moment.

In addition to the script, there are also story outlines and character biographies.

Needless to say, the story outline was completed before writing the script, and the character biographies were completed a few days ago. There is a lot of content written in it, especially the important characters, analyzing the character's personality from many aspects.

Important characters like Andy and Ellis have written several thousand words of character introduction.

Tan Yue picked up the internal landline and called Chen Ye.

Chen Ye answered almost immediately: "Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue arranged: "Xiao Ye, go to the film department and ask Mr. Zheng to come over. I have something to do with him."

"Okay, Mr. Tan, I'll go now." Chen Ye put down the phone, saved the work document on the computer, took the elevator, and went straight to the film department.

"Is Director Zheng here?"

"Inside, follow me."

Zheng Tong's secretary knocked on the door gently, and after getting permission, he opened the door and said, "Director Zheng, Secretary Chen is here to see you."

"Let her in."

"Please come in." The secretary left directly.

Zheng Tong put down his work, looked up and asked, "Is there anything Secretary Chen can do?"

Chen Ye said, "Director Tan asked you to come over, he has something to do with you."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Zheng Tong closed the file and put it aside. He thought it was about the previous movie, so he didn't think much about it.

Come to Tan Yue's office with Chen Ye.

"Sit down first." Tan Yue said, "Xiao Ye, pour a glass of water for Director Zheng."

Zheng Tong sat upright, and when he heard someone pouring water for him, he knew that this conversation would take a long time.

Generally speaking, Chen Ye would only pour water unless it was someone else from outside.

Tan Yue didn't speak, looking at the computer screen, pressing the mouse with his right hand.

"Mr. Zheng, your water."

"Thank you!"

Tan Yue said at this time: "Xiao Ye, I sent you a document in the email. Print it out and send it to me. I will need it later."

Chen Ye said "OK" and left the office to do his own work.

"How is the preparation for that movie going?"

The movie that Tan Yue mentioned was the one he talked about two weeks ago, and the crew has started preparing recently.

"The preparations for costumes, makeup, and props have basically been completed, and we are now discussing the selection of the protagonist."

"Did you encounter any problems with the selection of the protagonist?"

Zheng Tong explained: "There are currently two people who meet the requirements, and their performances in the audition can be said to be equally good. When we were discussing, there was also a big dispute, and we didn't know which one was suitable for a while."

Because all the actors in this movie will be newcomers, the intention is to support the development of newcomers. When they met two people who were both relatively suitable, the dispute came out.

"This is easy to solve, let the director make the final decision." Tan Yue said seriously: "In the future, no matter the size of the play, or the quality of the acting, let the director make all the decisions."

Tan Yue suddenly realized that this was a more serious problem. Whether it is a TV series or a movie, the selection of roles should be decided by the director, not the company's senior management, even Zheng Tong cannot do it.

Zheng Tong quickly replied, "Okay."

This situation happened because the film was performed by newcomers from the company, so there were more people interfering.

Now that Tan Yue has spoken, everything is easy to solve. After returning, let the director select the actors.

Tan Yue asked, "How is the copyright you discussed before?"

The copyright he mentioned is a very popular short story, which has caused a great response in the circle.

After discussion, the senior management of Brilliant Entertainment decided to adapt this short story into a movie.

It is not only Brilliant Entertainment that has this idea, but also many other entertainment companies are interested.

The author of this short story is a more realistic person. He directly stated that whoever offers the highest price can take the copyright.

With the financial resources of Brilliant Entertainment, it is naturally a piece of cake, but the current price is too high, and it is very likely that the cost will not be recovered.

That's why it has not been negotiated.

"I have been following up on this matter. His offer is too high. Three companies have given up." Zheng Tongdao: "Maybe he realized that the price is too high and there are signs of loosening. We are hurrying to talk to him."

Tan Yue nodded: "Let's talk again. If it doesn't work, just give up. There is no need to invest too much energy."

This copyright matter has been going on for more than half a year. After dragging it on for so long, he gradually lost his patience.

Twenty minutes later, the two people's chat was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Ye opened the door and came in, saying: "Mr. Tan, the things you want are ready."

"Give it to me." Tan Yue took the file and put it under his hand.

Chen Ye came out and couldn't control his excitement after closing the door. He almost jumped up.

Of course, she had seen that this was a movie. As a loyal fan, she was very happy to see her idol making a new movie.

After talking about the recent situation of the film department, Tan Yue said: "I asked you to come here today because there are other things for you to do."

Zheng Tong suddenly became serious.

Tan Yue picked up the script and said, "This is a new script I just wrote. Take it back and ask the old screenwriter to revise it."

"New script?" Zheng Tong was stunned at first, then he quickly reached out to take the script, and said with a little excitement: "I understand, I will do it now."

He never believed the rumors that Tan Yue would not write new movies.

Because the development plan set by Brilliant Entertainment is to integrate into the international entertainment industry through movies.

As of today, although Brilliant Entertainment has entered the international entertainment industry, it is far from the planned level.

Zheng Tong took the script and was so excited that he trembled slightly.

He has been looking forward to Tan Yue's new movie.

Considering the box office performance of "The Godfather", Zheng Tong thought that Tan Yue might have to wait a few years before a new movie appeared.

After all, the impact of "The Godfather" was too great.

I am still excited when I think about it now.

Some people will take a break when they reach the peak and let themselves settle down; while others will take advantage of this momentum to continue climbing the next higher mountain.

In Zheng Tong's opinion, Tan Yue was obviously the latter.

Tan Yue said, "Go."

Zheng Tong took the script, pretended to be calm and left the office, turned around and closed the door, and then walked quickly towards the elevator.

Having worked in Brilliant Entertainment for so many years, he has witnessed countless possibilities in Tan Yue.

He believes that Tan Yue's movie will definitely be more exciting.

Chen Ye, who was sitting at her workstation, naturally saw this scene and laughed as well.

Since Zheng Tong was called, she knew that the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" had already been planned and would be able to start filming soon.

Film department.

Zheng Tong, who had returned from the president's office, was already sitting in the conference room flipping through the script. He had arranged for his secretary to notify the company's five experienced old screenwriters to come to the meeting.

"The Shawshank Redemption!"

After reading the name of the movie, he couldn't wait to flip through the contents of the script.

At first he thought "Shawshank" was a person's name, but later he realized that it was the name of a prison.

It's just that the two words "redemption" at the end are temporarily unclear.

He couldn't figure out what redemption in prison would look like?

"Mr. Zheng."

"Mr. Zheng."

"Sit down first."

Because he was so engrossed in watching, he didn't hear the first sound.

Zheng Tong couldn't bear to look up and said, "Old Meng and the other four haven't arrived yet, wait for them first."

The old screenwriter sitting next to him frowned slightly, knowing that this matter was not simple.

They are all old screenwriters of the company. If they can be called at the same time, there must be something important happening.

The old screenwriter couldn't help looking at Zheng Tong, thinking: So it's a script, but I haven't heard that the company has bought any big scripts recently. Could it be

"Director Zheng."

The four people came to the meeting room together.

Zheng Tong raised his head at this time and looked around: "Everyone is here, let's have a meeting."

Looking at this posture, Old Meng couldn't help asking, "Does Director Zheng have a new script?"

There were only a few people in the meeting room, all of whom were old employees who had been in the company for many years. They were so familiar with each other that they were not too restrained.

Zheng Tong nodded heavily and said happily: "That's right, it's a script. Guess whose script it is?"

The first person who came to the meeting room answered: "Let us come together, it must be a very important script, but I haven't heard that our department has bought a script recently. Could it be the short story that we have been negotiating the copyright for half a year?"

Old Meng said: "I admit that the novel is good, but there is no need for us to come at the same time. Mr. Zheng, please tell me."

"Mr. Tan! This is the script that Mr. Tan just gave me!"

"Sure enough!" The first old screenwriter exclaimed in his heart.

The only one who can make several old screenwriters in the film department present at the same time is Tan Yue.

"Really?"

"Mr. Tan's new movie?"

The five old screenwriters showed surprised expressions at the same time.

Zheng Tongdao: "I just came back from Mr. Tan's office. I didn't even go to my own office. I asked you to come to the meeting."

"Mr. Tan is really amazing! Although "The Godfather" has been out for a while, the heat has not completely passed. There are still many people discussing it online at home and abroad. I didn't expect a new movie to come out again."

"You don't understand Mr. Tan's speed in writing scripts!"

"That's not what I meant. What surprised me is that Mr. Tan always surprises us."

Laughter came from the conference room, and everyone was particularly happy.

Zheng Tongdao: "Let's not talk too much nonsense. It's still the same rules. Mr. Tan's script has been given to us, and we will complete the follow-up work."

"Okay!"

The faces of the five old screenwriters were full of long-lost enthusiasm. Although they were just writing some storyboards, it was also a learning process for them.

This opportunity is not available to everyone.

Under the leadership of Zheng Tong, several people worked in an orderly manner.
