"Teacher Fan?"

Qian Tao's voice brought Fan Shan back from his slightly messy thoughts.

"I'm sorry, I was a little excited when I heard what Director Qian said. It feels like a dream." Fan Shan explained.

"It's okay, Teacher Fan. What Mr. Qian said is true. I just want you to be the male lead in this TV series of mine."

"Mr. Tan, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."

"What's inappropriate?" Tan Yue asked.

Qian Tao on the side also had this doubt. If there is a director in the circle who can't refuse his play, it must be Tan Yue. I don't know how many actors are vying for a role in the play.

Fan Shan was not dazzled by the surprise at this moment, and expressed his concerns: "As an old man, I am not suitable for playing the male lead, right? I have to be famous but not famous, I have fans but no fans, and there are no ratings when it is broadcast.

The rate is guaranteed. I think you should reconsider and don’t let me affect your reputation in the circle.”

"Teacher Fan, you are prejudiced against me by saying this. In our industry, reputation is certainly important, but it is not absolute. A movie, a TV series, even if it has an all-star cast, in a world where there is no acting skills but only traffic,

Under such circumstances, it would never be popular in this era. Today's audiences are not stupid, and actors cannot get far just by relying on traffic. When it comes to selecting actors, I will always have only one criterion, and that is suitability."

Tan Yue paused and continued: "Teacher Fan, you will definitely like this role in this play. No one in the entire circle is more suitable for this role than you."

"Mr. Tan, I apologize for what I just said. I didn't think it through properly. Since Mr. Tan said it, I must try this role."

Now Fan Shan finally understands why Tan Yue was able to achieve his current status in the entertainment industry at such a young age. As Tan Yue said, if a director blindly pursues traffic, he is destined to not last long.

He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has seen many real-life examples.

"The script is on the desk, help me get it."

"okay."

Qian Tao stood up to get the script, and Tan Yue said: "Teacher Fan, drink tea."

Tan Yue said: "Teacher Fan, let's try out a scene first."

"Of course there is no problem."

No matter how well the actor fits the role, the audition process is indispensable. Fan Shan understands this very well, and his impression of Tan Yue is getting better and better. Before, he was very fond of the legendary Tan Yue.

Impression, now is a good impression of this person in reality.

"Mr. Tan, script."

"Okay." Tan Yue took the script and said, "This is a biography of Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang is the character you will play next."

Fan Shan read the biographies and listened to Tan Yue's introduction.

"This is the script and the story outline. You can read it first, and we will try this scene later." Tan Yue pointed to a plot in the script.

"give me some time."

Tan Yue said "hmm" and sat aside, taking some water and tasting tea.

Fan Shan calmed down the excitement in his heart. He hadn't been excited in anticipation of a script for a long time because the person who wrote the script was called Tan Yue.

I was very excited. After working in the industry for so many years, I have already developed my psychological quality through experience. I quickly entered the state and concentrated on reading the biographies of the characters.

Tan Yue and Qian Tao had a tacit understanding and did not disturb each other. They sat aside and waited for Fan Shan to become familiar with the plot and characters.

Time passed by, and after reading the character biographies, Fan Shan couldn't wait to pick up the synopsis of the story and get familiar with it.

Just a short biography aroused his great interest. The entire timeline is very long, spanning twenty years, and the characters of each era also have significant changes. These need to be interpreted and mastered by the actors themselves.

, which tests the actor’s acting skills.

Fan Shan liked this kind of scene very much.

After familiarizing himself with the outline of the story, he had a general understanding of the entire plot.

To be honest, he liked this drama very much, because the background of the whole story happened in Northeast China. When reading the script, Fan Shan felt even more intimate when he looked at the lines in the script.

"Mr. Tan?"

"What's wrong, Teacher Fan?"

"I want to ask a digression."

"You say."

"Are you from the Northeast?"

Tan Yue smiled and shook his head: "No."

Fan Shan explained: "I had such doubts because the Northeast flavor in the script was too strong."

Tan Yue picked up the cup and took a sip of tea without changing his expression, and casually found a reason: "I have a relative at home who is from the Northeast, and I am usually more interested in the Northeast dialect."

Fan Shan nodded and continued to devote himself to the script.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the audition, Fan Shan would have wanted to read the entire script.

"Mr. Tan, I'm ready, we can start."

Tan Yue said: "Then we are looking forward to Teacher Fan's performance."

This scene is a plot from Wang Xiang's youth. Fan Shan slightly adjusted his state to put himself in a young state. Then he put the script aside and started performing.

Tan Yue and Qian Tao could intuitively feel that Fan Shan was in another state.

The two of them also gradually fell into watching the performance.

The scene lasted only a few minutes. As Fan Shan's performance ended, applause broke out in the office.

"Wonderful, so wonderful!" Tan Yue praised.

Qian Tao on the side was deeply impressed.

In his opinion, Fan Shan has not appeared in the audience's field of vision for a long time. He may have been out of touch with the times and will have regressed in his acting skills. However, there is still a very good reason why he is called an old actor.

Fan Shan's performance can crush many people in today's entertainment industry.

What surprised Qian Tao even more was that in this short period of time, Fan Shan had already gained a very high degree of control over "Wang Xiang", as if he had read the script before.

Only now did he understand why Tan Yue found such an old actor.

"thanks, thanks."

"Teacher Fan, have a cup of tea and take a rest." Tan Yue said: "The performance you just performed was so wonderful that it can be called a textbook-level performance."

"Mr. Tan, you are too flattering to me. There were many things that were not very good in the performance just now."

"Very few people can understand a character to such a high level in such a short period of time." Tan Yue extended his thumb: "A seasoned actor, he deserves to be an experienced actor."

The performance he just performed was exactly the feeling he wanted. The strong Northeastern flavor is a major feature of this drama.

Tan Yue picked up the cup: "We will have tea instead of wine. Congratulations to Teacher Fan for passing the audition. The next role will belong to you."

Fan Shan quickly picked up the cup: "Thank you, thank you Mr. Tan for giving me such an opportunity, old man, I will definitely perform well."

The three people clinked their cups, and after drinking the tea there was a burst of laughter.

Fan Shan said with emotion: "It feels like a dream. I didn't expect that one day I would be able to collaborate with Director Tan. No one would believe me if I told you."

As he spoke, there was a trace of sadness on his face. Thinking carefully about it, he has not been on the crew for almost seven years. On the one hand, there are no good dramas, and on the other hand, there are no good dramas that would hire him, an old actor who has passed his temper.

A few days ago, I was still worrying about the script. I suddenly received a call. I almost thought it was a scam call. I came to the capital to join the most powerful entertainment company in the country, met the most famous director, and also starred in the play as the male lead.

Number......

Apart from encountering this series of things when dreaming, how could it happen to me at other times?

"Now the domestic entertainment industry needs veteran actors like you. It is also a trend now. Many crews will find some old actors in the drama to support the drama. I believe you will get better and better in the future."

Fan Shan shook his head and said: "This situation is also for some popular old dramas. Even if they are old dramas, they are not famous..."

Tan Yue didn't refute this time. What Fan Shan said was very reasonable. Even veteran actors can distinguish between those who are popular and those who are not.

If you want an old drama star to break out of the entertainment industry, the first and most important thing is to have a drama with good quality, otherwise it will still not be familiar to the audience.

Qian Tao said: "Teacher Fan, I believe that after you finish filming Mr. Tan's drama, it will definitely become popular again, so that you will be soft-hearted in future dramas."

What he said is not an exaggeration at all. Zhang Shengwen, who became popular with "Hurry Up", received many invitations from the crew. What is even more exaggerated is that the dramas Zhang Shengwen starred in in the past, even if he had a small role, were picked up by many netizens to watch.

What's more, Fan Shan is still the male lead in the play, so more crews will definitely look for him.

"Director Qian is right, filming Mr. Tan's drama will definitely make the audience remember me again."

Fan Shan was very happy, the happiest he had been in seven years.

Tan Yue said: "The biographies, plot outline and script are all yours. It will take some time to prepare for the start of filming. Please prepare carefully. I believe that with the participation of Teacher Fan, this drama will definitely achieve satisfactory results."

Fan Shan said sternly: "This drama is a memory of our era. During this time, I will definitely prepare the characters and plot carefully. I will definitely satisfy Mr. Tan before starting the filming."

"let's work hard together!"

Tan Yue ordered: "Mr. Qian, take Teacher Fan to sign the relevant contract."

"Leave the rest to me." Qian Tao stood up and said, "Teacher Fan, please come with me."

"Mr. Tan, I'm going back first."

Before leaving, Tan Yue asked: "Take good care of Teacher Fan."
