Entertainment from Divorce

Artist management department.

There were more than a dozen actors sitting in a large office.

There are newcomers and old ones.

When we have nothing to do, we like to sit together and discuss acting skills.

Sometimes when we are having a great time chatting, we will even put on a drama performance.

In a corner, there was a person listening very attentively.

Whenever someone expresses some opinions on acting, he will think about them seriously.

This person is Deng Gaofei.

Deng Gaofei is 35 years old this year and is a professional.

At the age of 20, he starred in his first TV series, which marked his official entry into the entertainment industry.

The TV series he starred in the following year received good ratings as soon as it was broadcast, and also brought Deng Gaofei more attention.

Five years later, Deng Gaofei played the leading role in his first movie and began to shift the focus of his acting career to movies.

For two consecutive years, three movies failed one after another.

Deng Gaofei became disillusioned with the film industry and returned to the TV drama industry.

However, luck was not on his side this time and his TV series failed one after another.

From then on, Deng Gaofei could only play small roles in film and television works until today.

It was purely by chance that Deng Gaofei was able to join Brilliant Entertainment.

Because of his love for acting, he would perform in dramas when he had no movies to shoot.

A year ago, when Qin Tao was checking the venue at the drama theater, Deng Gaofei was practicing backstage and the two happened to run into each other.

Seeing that Deng Gaofei was so hardworking, Qin Tao invited him to join Brilliant Entertainment Company.

Just as several people were discussing, Qin Tao walked in.

Everyone said hello.

Qin Tao asked, "Is Deng Gaofei here?"

"Mr. Qin, I'm here." Deng Gaofei stood up.

"Come out for a moment. I have something to ask you."

"okay."

Deng Gaofei followed Qin Tao out, feeling very puzzled.

Since joining Brilliant Entertainment, Qin Tao has basically never looked for him.

I was suddenly called here today, and I was naturally very puzzled.

"Wait for me here for a while."

"it is good."

After watching Qin Tao leave, Deng Gaofei asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

In the office area, everyone is busy with their own work.

Deng Gaofei stood alone by the wall.

After a while, Qin Tao came over with two people.

"Old Kong, take care of yourself." Deng Gaofei waved and greeted him.

The three people performed in a play and naturally got to know each other.

"Goofy."

Two people responded.

"Everyone is here, follow me."

"it is good."

None of the three asked where they were going.

After the elevator came down, four people walked onto it.

Qin Tao said, "Let me tell you something. You will go to Mr. Tan for an audition in a while, so you must perform well."

"what?"

"what?"

The three of them looked surprised.

Lao Kong said, "Boss Qin, are you saying that Boss Tan wants us to audition?"

"That's right. Yesterday, Mr. Tan watched your drama performance. The three of you performed very well and got the chance to audition."

Before the three people could react, the elevator arrived at the eighth floor.

Qin Tao said: "This is very likely an opportunity to change your destiny. I hope you can seize it and perform well when you get to see Mr. Tan later."

"Okay." Deng Gaofei was the first to react.

The other two people also quickly agreed.

As they walked forward, the three men looked around. This was their first time on the eighth floor of the company.

Qin Tao raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Deng Gaofei suddenly felt difficulty breathing.

One of the reasons is to meet Tan Yue face to face.

And the most important point is that he has always wanted to change his destiny, and now the opportunity is before him.

"Come in."

Qin Tao opened the door and said, "Mr. Tan, they are here."

"Let them in." Tan Yue was already sitting on the sofa.

He felt that sitting here would be more conducive to communication.

The three of them held their breath and walked into the office.

Qin Tao said, "Mr. Tan, I have to go back and get busy first."

"Go ahead." Tan Yue said, "Come and sit down."

For a moment, the three of us looked at each other, not knowing whether we should sit down.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, let's sit here and chat for a while."

The three of them sat down awkwardly.

I didn't feel nervous when I met Tan Yue in the department before, but now that we are sitting face to face, my heart beats faster unconsciously.

Looking at the three people, Tan Yue smiled and thought about chatting with them for a while to let them relax.

"I went to see your performance yesterday, and it was very good. With your acting skills, you will definitely have no problem playing the leading role."

Deng Gaofei said: "Mr. Tan, you are praising us. Our acting skills still need to improve."

Lao Kong said: "Yes, Mr. Tan, we are still a little short of the right skills for filming."

The three of them haven't filmed a movie for a long time and they have very little confidence in their acting skills.

Tan Yue also realized the problem and said, "Do you know why the company wants to organize you to perform in a drama?"

"We know this, it's for us to hone our acting skills."

Tan Yue nodded and said, "That's right. The purpose of organizing drama performances is to hone your acting skills. Once your acting skills are good, you can shoot movies and TV series. I asked you three to come here because I want you to audition. I have a movie ready to shoot, and there is a role I want you to try out."

Although Qin Tao had already said it when they came, the three of them were still very excited when they heard Tan Yue say it himself.

To them, Tan Yue's existence was completely on a different level from their own.

Tan Yue has already filmed a movie that was released simultaneously around the world, but he has no movies to shoot yet.

Who wouldn’t be excited when suddenly hearing such news?

"Today, the three of you are competing for a role. Whoever performs best will get it. After all, there is only one role. Don't be discouraged if you are not chosen, there are other roles you can try." Tan Yue encouraged: "So don't be nervous, show your best later."

The three of them nodded heavily.

With these words, their tension did ease a little.

Tan Yue picked up the paper on the coffee table, handed it to three people, and said, "This is the topic. I will briefly explain it to you first."

The three people looked at the paper and listened to Tan Yue's story.

"The topic is this: as technology becomes more and more advanced and you have the ability to travel through time and space, you travel to the future and meet your daughter in her old age. How will you perform? There are a few lines above, and you can improvise the rest." Tan Yue said, "I'll give you ten minutes to prepare."

The topic he talked about is related to the movie, but some of the content can only be described as time travel for now.

Tan Yue mainly wanted to see the emotions of the three people when they were performing.

The three people carefully read the contents on the paper, and their brains were working rapidly, thinking about how they should act. Tan Yue drank tea and silently paid attention to the expressions of the three people.

Ten minutes passed quickly, in the blink of an eye.

Tan Yue said: "The time is up, who of you will start first?"

Lao Kong stood up and said, "Mr. Tan, let me go first."

"Okay, give him some applause." Tan Yue was the first to applaud.

Although the second and third people can continue to think about the plot during the first performance, which gives them some time advantages, the pressure on the first performance will be relatively less.

If the first and second persons perform well, the third person will face tremendous pressure.

As the applause died down, Lao Kong's performance began.

In this question, actors actually have a lot of room to play.

When Lao Kong saw his daughter during the performance, he broke down and cried.

Liu Zizhen, who performed second, was a little more restrained in her emotions, while also incorporating some joyful atmosphere.

Both of them gave good performances.

Deng Gaofei's last audition.

"Mr. Tan, can I adjust my condition a little first?"

"can."

Deng Gaofei began to take deep breaths, recalling the plot he had just thought of.

His lips were so tense that they turned a little pale.

After all, it is about whether you can change your own destiny.

moment.

Deng Gaofei also started a performance without props.

Tan Yue touched his chin and looked at it carefully.

Deng Gaofei walked slowly and saw his daughter lying on the hospital bed. Tears welled up in his eyes and he felt sad and distressed.

Without anyone noticing, Tan Yue nodded very slightly. This was exactly the emotion he wanted.

When a person sees his daughter in old age, besides sadness, the biggest emotion he feels is heartache.

Soon, Deng Gaofei's performance also ended.

The three of them began to feel anxious again.

Tan Yue has not yet made any comments on his performance.

Tan Yue said, "First of all, the performances of the three of you are very good. Those who didn't pass the audition can try other roles later."

The three people became even more nervous.

“Let’s talk about it one by one.”

In the following time, Tan Yue commented on the performances of the three people one by one.

Tan Yue continued, "So, the one who finally passed the audition was Deng Gaofei."

Deng Gaofei clenched his fists tightly, trying to control his inner excitement. His voice trembled as he spoke: "Thank you, Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue nodded slightly and said, "You two go back first and continue to wait for notifications about other roles."

"Okay, Mr. Tan, we'll go back first."

Lao Kong and Liu Zizhen got up and left the office.

Tan Yue walked to the filing cabinet, took out a folder from it, and said, "Gao Fei, guess which male number this time?"

"I don't know, Mr. Tan." Deng Gaofei didn't dare to guess.

I am afraid that if my expectations are too high, I may not have the ability to do so; if they are too low, it may not be enough to change my destiny.

Tan Yue walked over with a smile and said, "You are auditioning for the leading male role today."

"The leading male role!" Deng Gaofei seemed to have shouted these three words. Seeing that Tan Yue was startled, he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, I was a little too excited and couldn't control myself."

"It's okay, it's okay." Tan Yue said, "Here is the character biography and the script. It belongs to you now."

Deng Gaofei's hands were shaking all the time, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

Tan Yue said: "In the next period of time, your task is to familiarize yourself with the script, grasp the characteristics of the characters, and be well prepared before filming begins."

"Mr. Tan, I will definitely read the script carefully and grasp the characteristics of the character as soon as possible."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Tan Yue said, "This is a science fiction movie. It contains a lot of professional knowledge. You can look it up online and try to understand it."

Deng Gaofei listened very carefully, wishing he could write down every word.

More than ten minutes later.

"That's all for now. Go back and read the script. The drama performances will be suspended for the time being. Focus on reading the script."

"Okay, Mr. Tan." Deng Gaofei stood up with the script in his hand and said, "I'll go back first."

"Go."

"That's all for now. Go back and read the script. The drama performances will be suspended for the time being. Focus on reading the script."

"Okay, Mr. Tan." Deng Gaofei stood up with the script in his hand and said, "I'll go back first."

"Go."

Deng Gaofei walked out of the office, closed the door carefully, and then quickly took the elevator back to the artist management department.

Instead of going back to the office, he found an empty meeting room.

Many of these less famous artists were in one office.

Deng Gaofei looked at the script in his hand, tears finally welled up in his eyes and he could no longer hold them back.

Over the years, many people around him, even his parents, could not understand why he kept insisting.

Deng Gaofei is already in his thirties, and in his hometown he would have been married and had children by this age.

And he is still drifting in Beijing.

After so many years of persistence, there is finally a result.

More than ten minutes later, Deng Gaofei came out of the meeting room with red eyes.

"Gao Fei, so you are here. I heard that President Qin is looking for you. What's the matter?" This person is Deng Gaofei's agent Huo Da.

In fact, an artist like Deng Gaofei who is not very famous is not qualified to have an agent.

Many of them have the same agent.

"Brother Huo, come here first."

Two people came to the meeting room.

Deng Gaofei told the story.

"You said that Mr. Tan gave you the male lead in the next movie?" This was the second time that Huo Da screamed.

Deng Gaofei nodded.

Huo Da tightly grasped Deng Gaofei's hand and said excitedly: "Gaofei, you are about to fly high, but you must not forget your brother Huo. I usually treat you well, so you can't abandon me."

"Don't worry, Brother Huo, we have been together for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"Okay." Huo Da patted Deng Gaofei's hand and said, "The most important thing for you now is to read the script. You must be familiar with the script and the characters."

"I see. Mr. Tan also told me these things."

"You can watch it here. You won't need the conference room for now."

"Row."

Huoda stopped disturbing him and walked out of the office, feeling particularly good.

If an artist under your management becomes famous, it will be very beneficial for you as a manager.

After taking a look at the conference room, Hoda left humming a little tune.

Tan Yue was looking at the list of characters, calculating the time in his mind.

He plans to finalize several important roles today.

As for other minor characters, Zheng Tong will be the one to choose them, just like before.

Tan Yue picked up the internal phone.

"Mr. Tan."

"Xiao Ye, go to the film department and find Mr. Zheng and ask him to come over. He may be in the conference room."

"Ok."

Chen Ye put down the phone and went to the film department immediately.

Not seeing Zheng Tong in the office, Chen Ye went to the meeting room. (End of this chapter)
