Dad Academy

Zhang Tan decided to take up the post on his own, and after discussing with Kucheng, he officially took office.

Kucheng gave him a sun hat, which is always hanging on the wall in his office. The sunhat is white and has a duck bill, and Zhang Tan wears it just right.

Rich people always have some special hobbies, which are different from ordinary people. Kucheng likes baseball. Unfortunately, domestic baseball is not popular and he cannot enjoy it to the fullest. He often watches live broadcasts and flies abroad to watch the live broadcasts when he is free.

According to him, this peaked sun hat was given to him by a certain baseball team owner and is a limited edition collection.

The director is exposed to wind and sun on the set, and wearing a hat can somewhat block it. In reality, many directors also wear hats and even sunglasses.

Zhang Tan accepted it with a smile and said he would put it on the day it was turned on.

Then, Ku Cheng introduced the producer of the crew, a woman in her 40s named Xie Ou.

Ku Cheng said that this person was already the best producer in the company and was transferred to help Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan had met Xie Ou before, but they didn't interact much with each other. They were just familiar with each other. The two will have to work together for a long time in the future, which involves Liliu's time. The child has to go to elementary school, so her scenes can only be shot on weekends, or occasionally at night, after the winter vacation, so the winter vacation time can be used.

Zhang Tan fully used the rest of the time to film other plots.

Zhang Tan and Xie Ou chatted for a long time and decided to interview other roles immediately and try their best to finalize the actors. At the same time, Xie Ou consulted Zhang Tan for her opinions and took the lead in setting up the crew.

The assistant director and screenwriter were selected by Zhang Tan.

Don't even think about directors who have achieved fame. It is impossible to be an assistant director for Zhang Tan. It is also difficult for someone who is somewhat famous. No one is willing to be an assistant to a new director. Zhang Tan thought about it and thought of Wang Hao, whom he met that day, so he called to ask. his opinion.

Wang Hao was overjoyed and rushed over immediately with a hundred yeses.

An assistant director alone was not enough. To be on the safe side, Zhang Tan found another character director in the company.

As for the screenwriter, the talent would not go to outsiders, so Zhang Tan chose Xu Shufei and Zhao Lin in the studio. Both of them used to be new screenwriters. Later, they were promoted by Zhang Tan and joined the studio. The first crew they joined was "The Wind". They have been trained in the past two years and have made significant progress.

After the director, starring actors and producers were confirmed, the entire crew started working quickly and all work was in order.

That day was an interview for supporting roles. Zhang Tan, Xie Ou and the casting director were the interviewers. Wang Hao had nothing to do, but he was very proactive and rushed over. He took the initiative to become a staff member and was responsible for calling people.

Today we are going to interview the group of good friends of Zhan Er in "I am Zhan Er".

Zhan Er is a person with low intelligence, and his good friends are also people with low intelligence.

These people have low intelligence and live at the bottom of society, but! They have a heart full of love, they love life and are sincere to their friends.

When Zhan Er's life was in trouble, these friends selflessly lent a helping hand. Together they raised money to buy Zhan Baobao a birthday gift, and together they gave Zhan Er an idea to ask a lawyer to regain Zhan Baobao's custody rights. They clumsily read newspapers and checked the web, found the most awesome lawyer, and encouraged Zhan Er to go Ask this lawyer for help…

Their intelligence is not as good as that of ordinary people, but their love for friends and life is no less than that of ordinary people.

It is not an easy task to play these friends of Zhan Er well. Although there are not many roles, those who do not have enough acting skills will not be able to act well.

The content of today's interview was to ask these actors to perform a scene from the play on the spot. Zhang Tan narrated the scene to them and they performed it on the spot, leaving them only 5 minutes of preparation time.

These actors already knew that the character was mentally retarded before they came here, and the crew made it clear when they released the recruitment news. After all, not everyone can put down their burdens and play the role of a mentally retarded character, and not everyone has the ability to play the role.

So it’s better to make things clear beforehand.

But even so, when Zhang Tan explained the content of the interview during the interview, some people still felt conflicted and left unhappy.

Zhang Tan and Xie Ou looked at each other, a little helpless. The recruitment information had made it very clear, and it wasn't like they told you on the spot that this was a mentally retarded character.

The casting director apologized awkwardly.

"It's okay. There are always people who choose to ignore it, and there are always people who think they can do it, but the fact is that they can't. Okay, next one."

Wang Hao outside immediately went to the waiting room to call his number.

"No. 5, hello Wang Jun, how is Wang Jun? Hello Wang Jun!"

"...Here, here."

"I called you a few times."

"Sorry, I was just thinking about the role."

"do not worry."

Wang Hao saw that the young man looked a little nervous.

Before Wang Junhao entered the interview room, he said thank you to Wang Hao, then pushed the door open and saw Zhang Tan sitting in the middle of the three.

Zhang Tan looked stunned when he saw him, and then said: "How is Wang Jun? Are you ready?"

Wang Junhao took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Ready, Director Zhang, I am Wang Junhao, graduated from Peking Film and Television Academy..."

"The character you play is a person with the mental capacity of a seven or eight-year-old."

"I know, I'm ready."

"Then let's do a scene. The specific plot is like this..."

After Zhang Tan finished speaking, he said, "You have 5 minutes to prepare. Do you want to drink some water?"

…

It took a lot of time to interview these Zhan Er's friends in the morning, and other roles in the afternoon. These roles didn't have many roles, they only showed a few faces, so they passed quickly.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, all interviews were over. The casting director was responsible for sorting out actor information and notifying these actors. Zhang Tan and others left. Wang Hao also followed after get off work, saying that he would treat Zhang Tan to dinner and thank him for his promotion.

"You don't have to eat. You do a good job as my greatest thank you. Well, I still have to go home to pick up my daughter from school."

Zhang Tan left in a hurry and received a call from Tan Jiner on the way, saying that she had taken Xiaobai home from school. Xiaobai spoke loudly on the other end of the phone, letting the old man work peacefully, while she went to find her aunt for dinner.

Although her aunt didn't invite her, she didn't care.

Tan Jin'er said that it was okay to eat at her house, which reassured Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan hung up the phone and immediately found the phone number he got from the casting director. He dialed it and someone answered after two rings.

"Hey, who's there?"

"I'm Zhang Tan. When did you come to Pujiang?"

"Oh, it arrived yesterday."

"Have you eaten? Let's go together."

"OK."

Zhang Tan made an appointment with him, drove there, and quickly picked up the other party. It was Wang Junhao who was interviewing in the morning.

Zhang Tan and Wang Junhao were college classmates. I remember that Wang Junhao used to make jokes in the class group, and he especially liked to quarrel with a girl named Lou Xinyi.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, but today Zhang Tan still recognized him at first sight, but Wang Junhao didn't recognize Zhang Tan at the first time, or he didn't dare to recognize him. The changes were too great. It was the same as before. He believed in two completely different people.

"Why didn't you find me?" Zhang Tan asked as they found a restaurant to sit down.

Wang Junhao laughed at himself: "I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."

After many years of graduation, he had been unsatisfied, both in career and relationship. Not long ago, he broke up with Lou Xinyi. He learned from the painful experience and decided to start from scratch. So he gritted his teeth and headed south from Peiping to Pujiang, hoping to find opportunities here. When he saw "I There was a recruitment information for the crew of "It's Zhan Er". I signed up without much thought, and only then did I find out that it was Zhang Tan's project.

The two had dinner and talked a lot about their college days. It wasn't until Zhang Tan received a call from Xiaobai that they said goodbye and left.

Wang Junhao watched Zhang Tan's retreating figure and was filled with emotions for a moment.
