This director only makes bad movies

Liu Yang acted quickly. After getting Xu Nan's approval, he immediately contacted Liu Yifei's agent and told him that Xu Nan's new movie intended to have Liu Yifei play the leading role.

The other party's reply was very enthusiastic, and he said that he would make time to get to Summit Film and Television as soon as possible.

Liu Yang was not surprised by this.

Everyone in the entertainment industry doesn't know Mr. Xu's name.

Mr. Xu’s new movie is the top resource in the entertainment industry, the biggest and most delicious cake.

If there is an opportunity to participate in Xu Nan's new movie, any star in the industry will treat it carefully.

If you don't understand this, you can refer to Little Yellow Duck, an ordinary high school student who quickly became a first-line female star in the industry just because she participated in the movie "Guoshi".

Xu Nan's status at this moment is so exaggerated in the industry.

Liu Yang was looking forward to seeing Liu Yifei.

More than ten years ago, Liu Yifei became the most popular star in the industry with her role as Ling'er in "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry". Her charming smile and fairy-like figure will forever be engraved in the hearts of many people. .

At that time, Liu Yang was still a young man who had just debuted. He was extremely green. He looked at the perfect figure on TV and dreamed of one day being able to cooperate with his idol.

But at that time, he knew clearly that his dream was actually a delusion. Liu Yifei was a fairy in the sky, and he was just an ordinary person. It was almost impossible for the two to interact.

More than ten years later, he became the second-in-command of a top entertainment company and finally had a chance to realize his dream.

When he thought that he would be able to meet his idol soon, Liu Yang, who had already been hard-hearted after struggling for more than ten years, felt extremely excited, like a young man who was just beginning to have an affair.

Even the employees of Summit Film and Television have discovered that Mr. Liu of the company has been suffering from snake syndrome these days. He always shows a lewd smile from time to time, which makes people feel chilled.

Moreover, Mr. Liu started to dress up. He put hair gel on his head and specially customized clothes. He held his head high every day and looked like a successful and elite person.

In Liu Yang's extreme anticipation.

Three days later, Liu Yifei came to Summit Film and Television.

To be more precise, it was Liu Yifei's agent who came to Summit Film and Television.

According to Liu Yifei's agent, because Ms. Liu Yifei had just finished filming a movie, she was not feeling well, so she needed to rest at home.

The matter of cooperation can only be discussed by the agent.

Liu Yang was extremely disappointed.

This time I couldn't see my idol.

But he soon cheered up. It doesn't matter if he can't see his idol now. He will definitely be able to see him when the filming of the movie actually starts.

Xu Nan also felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, he is also the top director in the industry, not to mention the number one in China, at least one of the top three, but you actually asked your agent to negotiate.

Sincerity is a bit too low.

You know, Mimi and Shi Shi took the initiative to come to negotiate, and they even lowered their remuneration for this reason.

Although you, Liu Yifei, are still barely in the spotlight, one movie after another has hit the market, and you are known as a box office poison, and you are still so confident.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei's agent Liu Lili's attitude after meeting was quite good, which finally made Xu Nan feel a little better.

Liu Lili's attitude was very polite: "Special thanks to Director Xu Nan for remembering our concubine. It is our concubine's honor to be able to star in Xu Nan's film."

Xu Nan nodded.

This attitude is quite acceptable.

Liu Lili whispered: "It's just that our concubine wants to know what kind of movie "Dian Mu" is, so that we can easily decide whether to star in it or not."

Xu Nan revealed the setting of the movie: ""Dian Mother" is a superhero movie, similar to "Spider-Man" and "Stargazer". This movie belongs to the same world view as the two movies that have been released. At the same time, it is also one of the few films in the industry with a leading female protagonist.”

Xu Nan deliberately mentioned the previous two movies just to imply that "Dian Mu" will continue the glory of the previous two movies.

I believe that no star in the industry can refuse such a movie.

You know, Mimi and Shi Shike both rose to prominence through movies. I believe Liu Yifei cannot refuse this piece of cake.

Liu Lili asked: "Is there a script?"

Xu Nan shook his head: "Sorry, no, because the movie has not been approved yet, so the script has not been written yet."

"However, the plot of "Dian Mother" is inherited from the movies "Captain China", "Spider-Man" and "Stargazer". It belongs to the same world view as them, and it will most likely be a hit."

"If there is no script." Liu Lili frowned, seeming a little embarrassed.

Xu Nan felt a little unhappy, but didn't show any signs of it, waiting for the other party to make his own decision.

There is indeed a problem without a script, but this kind of thing is very common in the industry. Many big directors start to raise funds for movies as soon as they have an idea.

With the success of several films, Xu Nan believed that Liu Lili would make a wise choice.

"If there is no script, I'm afraid our concubines will have objections."

"Director Xu, you may not know that because the results of several consecutive movies have been unsatisfactory, Feifei now attaches great importance to the script of the movie. If she can't even read the script, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to agree to star."

"So?" Xu Nan was expressionless.

In fact, he was already feeling a little angry at this time.

With his status in the industry, would he invite a female star to star in a movie?

And she is an actress who is already known as box office poison.

He's actually still picky.

Are you taking yourself too seriously?

Liu Lili did not notice Xu Nan's anger and said to herself: "I heard that Mr. Xu has achieved very good results in the United States. Our concubine has always wanted to develop in Hollywood, but there is no way. If Xu guides you Agree to help our concubine make an American movie. I think our concubine will definitely agree to star in the movie "Dian Mu"."

Xu Nan smiled half-heartedly: "So, if I don't help Ms. Liu Yifei make American movies, she won't act anymore, right?"

"Uh" Liu Lili seemed to have noticed something, and replied cautiously: "We still need to go back and discuss this before we can decide."

Xu Nan laughed angrily: "You can't make a decision as an agent, why should you come to talk to me?"

"Okay, after careful consideration, I feel that Miss Liu Yifei's image is not suitable for my new movie, so let's forget about it."

"Liu Yang, see you off."

"Okay, Mr. Xu." Liu Yang stood up immediately.

He walked up to Liu Lili and said politely but without doubt: "Miss Liu, please."

Liu Lili was stunned.

It was only then that she realized that Xu Nan was not the kind of person she could bargain with, let alone a humble ordinary little director.

As a great director, Xu Nan has the confidence to be willful.

To put it bluntly, everything is decided by Xu Nan, and she is not qualified to negotiate terms.

"that."

Liu Lili originally wanted to say something, but at this time Xu Nan no longer wanted to pay attention to her.

What the hell do you think you are, how dare you negotiate terms with me.

I’m giving you face, right?

When Liu Yang sent Liu Lili away and returned to the office to meet.

Xu Nan asked dissatisfiedly: "Liu Yang, look at all the people you recommended. You can just find an agent to come and talk to me. You still want to negotiate terms with me. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Liu Yang didn't know how to defend himself.

Mainly because he didn't expect something so outrageous to happen.

The top domestic director invited an ordinary female star to star in a movie. Not only did the actress not readily accept the offer, she was picky and wanted to negotiate terms.

No novel would dare to be written like this.

In fact, it is not a problem if Liu Yifei herself does not show up to let the agent negotiate the contract.

Many stars in the industry are like this. They don't come out to discuss cooperation and leave it directly to their agents.

Even some relatively powerful agents occupy a dominant position in cooperation with celebrities. The stars are in turn controlled by their agents, and the agents decide whether to accept scenes.

After all, not all celebrities are good at interpersonal communication and business negotiations. Many celebrities have empty heads and nothing but a face. In this case, they can only leave it to their agents.

But the problem is that this agent's whimsical attempt to negotiate terms with Mr. Xu is outrageous.

As an ordinary director, you have no problem negotiating terms as a first-line star, but this is a top director who has set a domestic box office record and is the top person in the industry, so what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms.

Until now, Liu Yang has not figured out what Liu Yifei and her agent are thinking and where they got the courage.

The brain circuit is very clear.

No wonder it started off so well and got worse over the years.

It’s really too hard to figure out.

"Mr. Xu, it's my problem. I didn't expect this." Liu Yang apologized decisively.

As an old employee of the company, the Minister of Humerus who worked with Xu Nan to get out of the company's predicament, he was not worried about what Xu Nan would do to him.

Sure enough, Xu Nan had no intention of pursuing it and shook his head: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with you."

"If you don't have contact, you won't know that the other party is so unreliable."

"The key to the problem now is the casting of "Dian Mother"."

"You are right. Although "Dian Mother" will not be filmed until next year, considering the star schedule and publicity factors, casting can be carried out now."

"My idea is to open the casting call to the entire entertainment industry and tell everyone that the lead role in "Dian Mother" is vacant and waiting for them to compete."

Liu Yang nodded: "It's a very good decision. On the one hand, you can take advantage of the popularity of "Staring Man" to excite female stars in the industry. On the other hand, you can also take the opportunity to promote the film and let the audience have an impression of the film. "

Xu Nan added: "Another point is that we can select the most suitable actors by expanding the sample."

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"Is it okay, Liu Yang?"

Liu Yang was excited and assured: "Absolutely no problem."
