This director only makes bad movies

Chapter 240 The Concept of the Movie Universe

Shi Shi suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Xu Nan is so optimistic about Mimi, so Mimi will definitely be her first choice when making movies in the future.

No, it couldn't be like this. She had to take the initiative to fight for it, otherwise this great director would pass her by.

Shi Shi asked: "Director Xu, do you remember the last premiere and you asked me to act in a movie?"

"I was very busy with my schedule at the time, so I didn't reply, but now I think clearly. Director Xu, I will act in your movie even if my schedule is busy."

Xu Nan smiled slightly.

Shi Shi's words were basically what he expected.

To put it harshly, with his current status in the industry, if he wants to invite someone to act in a movie, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not refuse as long as he is a star.

It's normal for Shi Shi to actively seek roles.

It just so happened that he had a role suitable for Shi Shi.

So Xu Nan nodded and said: "I do have a movie in my hand. The movie is currently in the preparation stage, and there is a role in it that is just right for you."

Shi Shi said decisively: "I'll act, no matter how much money it takes."

Mimi was anxious and said quickly: "Director Xu, don't forget about me. Didn't you say that my acting skills are very good?"

Xu Nan smiled: "Mimi, my new movie is in the same world view as "Spider-Man". You can't play this role."

He already has an idea for a movie universe in his mind and has begun to implement it step by step.

The successful examples of Marvel in the past are here, why not learn from them.

In this world, American Hollywood movies are very powerful, but they are slightly different from the previous life, at least not in the movie universe.

Comics like Marvel and Justice League are owned by the United States, but the copyrights of the characters in them are so scattered that it is impossible to put together a movie universe.

The success of the American movie universe in the previous life was also very accidental. Iron Man was only a second-tier hero in the comics, and he was the only superhero that Marvel could make a good movie about.

Unexpectedly, it became a hit after it was filmed, and then the Marvel Cinematic Universe was gradually established.

In this world, comic book companies are even worse off. They don’t even have a second-tier superhero on hand, and it’s almost impossible to put together a movie universe.

It just so happens that he can be the first person to make a movie universe.

However, it is not easy for the movie universe to succeed.

Take Justice League as an example. Although there are successful examples of Marvel in the past, it still fails repeatedly.

The main reason is that they were too impatient and did not prepare the ground well.

Marvel is different. From the beginning with Iron Man, to the Hulk, Captain America, and Thor, it took several years to lay the foundation for the world view before finally taking out the Avengers, the king bomb, and creating a new world. The title of the Marvel Universe.

He also needs to learn from Marvel's successful experience. "Captain China" is the beginning, "Spider-Man" is the development, and there will be other superheroes in the future, one after another. After the world view is laid out, come on Big one, let everyone see his level.

Two movies in succession have become hits, and Xu Nan is now very excited and wants to make a big one.

Of course, in order to avoid failure, you must choose the actors well.

Shi Shi is very good. In terms of traffic, it is not much lower than Mimi. Let her be the protagonist, not only will it bring tens of millions in box office, but it will also be very convenient for publicity.

Of course, if Shi Shi doesn't want to, he can choose someone else. Anyway, the initiative is in her hands.

Of course Shi Shi is willing.

She immediately smiled: "Thank you, Director Xu. We can sign the agreement of intent now."

Once you sign the agreement of intent, things are almost half done, because breach of contract will require liquidated damages.

Xu Nan said: "There is no rush to sign the contract of intent. The film may have to wait until next year. Let's talk about it then."

Shi Shi's expression changed. By next year, the day lilies will be cold. How many female stars will compete if the news spreads? Will the resources still be in her hands?

It is very common in the entertainment industry to compete for roles.

But what can she do? Xu Nan said to wait until next year, which means waiting for next year. She can't force Xu Nan to make a movie.

Seeing Shi Shi's disappointed expression, Mimi felt very happy and glanced at her proudly, her face was radiant and charming.

Want to take my sister's place?

It's early!

Shi Shi forced a smile and said, "Then we have decided, Director Xu, that you must come to me next year."

"Absolutely." Xu Nan responded with a smile.

But regardless of whether she was Shi Shi, she knew that the agreement between the two people now actually didn't count.

You can change roles even if you sign a contract, let alone if you don't sign a contract, it's just a simple verbal agreement.

Shi Shi just took advantage of it verbally, and then figured out a way to confirm it when the movie actually started shooting.

Xu Nan said this on purpose. Although he had already made up his mind to let Shi Shi be the protagonist, he couldn't show a very urgent look and wanted to show her off first.

Shi Shi is a very famous star, so we need to put some pressure on her so that she can be energetic when filming.

Xu Nan and Shi Shi chatted for a while, but they didn't talk too much, so they just chatted casually.

Shi Shi also asked about the plot setting of the new movie and said that he would go back and prepare early.

I have to say that she is still very sincere, and it can be said that she worked very hard to play Xu Nan's movie.

But the key is that Xu Nan doesn't know what the plot of the new movie is.

He only had an outline in his mind, and he had to go back and think about the specific plot and settings carefully, so he could just deal with it.

After chatting with Shi Shi, Xu Nan chatted with Mimi again.

"Mimi, "Spider-Man" will be released soon, and the box office will definitely exceed one billion. Congratulations."

Speaking of this, Mimi was also very happy: "Congratulations to Director Xu. By the way, Director Xu said during filming that there will be a sequel to "Spider-Man", is it true?"

Xu Nan nodded: "It's true, but we have to wait for a while. After all, Spider-Man has just been released, so we need to give the audience some buffering time."

Generally speaking, movies that make money will get sequels, and the probability of making money is greater.

There will definitely be a sequel to Spider-Man, but it will take a while.

If a sequel is made, no need to think about it, Mimi will definitely be the number one heroine, and no one can take her position away.

Xu Nan and Mimi chatted seriously for a while.

He and Mimi are quite familiar with each other. After all, the two of them have made a movie together and the movie was a success. It is difficult to have a bad relationship.

While chatting, Xu Nan suddenly saw a person, Wang Tian, ​​the boss of Guangguang Film and Television.

Wang Tian is a big shot in the entertainment industry and has a very high status. Xu Nan wants to welcome him personally.

He apologized to Mimi and hurried over to greet her.

"Mr. Wang, you are welcome to come. After you come, my place will be full of glory."

Wang Tian smiled: "What you said makes me a little embarrassed, so I'd better stop being so polite."

Wang Tian's attitude was very polite. Xu Nan was not only a director, but also the boss of a film and television company, which was similar to him in status.

The two of them had a great time chatting.

While chatting, Wang Tian suddenly asked: "Mr. Xu, do you know that the relevant departments want to have a meeting with us?"
