This director only makes bad movies

After negotiating the terms and signing the agreement of intent, Liu Shishi left.

Last year, the two of them verbally agreed to let Liu Shishi star in the movie, but it actually didn't count. Now that they have signed the agreement, the matter is finally settled.

The reason is simple. If you regret it after signing the contract, you will need to pay liquidated damages.

Liu Yang felt a bit at a loss: "Mr. Xu, I feel there is no need to choose her. Liu Shishi's acting skills are average."

Xu Nan nodded: "I know her acting skills are average, but I can't help it. There are only a few big stars in the industry who are qualified to be the protagonist. Who else can I choose if I don't choose her?"

Not everyone can act in a movie. Sometimes amateurs can be used, but amateurs are not as useful as celebrities, especially first-line stars, who have their own fans. Many times, the audience doesn't care about the quality of the movie, and just looks at the name of the star. Go to the movies.

The most obvious example of this is "The Great Wall", which has just exceeded 1 billion in box office. Although this movie has been ridiculed, many people still choose to watch it. What they see is not the quality of the movie, but the content. star.

What’s even more exaggerated is that because there are several popular stars in it, a group of fans take the initiative to book tickets and buy tickets for their brother. According to statistics, the movie "The Great Wall" brought in almost the same box office because it invited several popular stars. There are tens of millions.

In the traffic era, although everyone says this is not good, but in the face of the box office, who can bear it.

There are only a few big names in the industry that can compete with the box office, and Liu Shishi is already a good choice. Her fans are also famous for their strong fighting ability, and the guarantee can also add tens of millions to the movie's box office. Who else could I choose to choose her?

Liu Yang thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the same reason.

There are really not many stars to choose from in a top-notch big production.

Director Xu can indeed choose an amateur, but why should he choose an amateur when he can choose Dahua.

Liu Yang changed the topic and asked: "So Mr. Xu, are we really going to make a big production this time?"

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, the initial cost is around 500 million to create the country's first superhero blockbuster with big special effects."

Liu Yang exclaimed: "This is really a big deal. It can be ranked among the top ten domestic films."

"But I have a question."

"explain."

"Do we have to pay all of this money?"

Xu Nan shook his head: "No, the company only provides 200 million, and we will invest in the rest."

Xu Nan couldn't afford 500 million, but the problem was that the risk was too great.

Although he was very sure that the movie would be successful, what if it failed.

Therefore, it is better to invest. It is good to make a profit, but you will not lose too much if you lose, and you can also find a way to transfer the risk.

This is what Hollywood does, they find people to invest, others lose money, but they make money.

Xu Nan is not that unscrupulous, but it is still necessary to spread risks.

Liu Yang pondered for a moment: "There should be no problem in attracting investment. With your reputation, Mr. Xu, you can get one billion, but you must have the leadership of the project in your hands."

Xu Nan nodded immediately: "Of course, the prerequisite for investment is not to interfere with the crew's filming, otherwise we will not want their investment."

Summit Film and Television is Xu Nan's one-stop shop, and everything he decides can be implemented smoothly.

Preparations for a new movie have begun.

This is a large-scale production. It is currently the largest film produced by Summit Films. It is also a challenge for the company. There is a lot of complicated work that needs to be prepared in advance.

This is not a copycat film that can be released with just a tap of the head. This is a top-notch large-scale production, and every aspect must be the best.

Whenever there is a problem in one link, it may affect the quality of the movie.

As for how complicated the film's preparations are, let's put it this way. The preliminary preparations alone will take less than half a year to complete.

This is top-notch production.

Xu Nan estimated that even if he made a movie relatively quickly, it would take at least a year from project establishment to release.

Making a good movie is so complicated.

Otherwise, why would some people say that film is a heavy industry?

A small production with a small budget may be casual, but a large production can be really troublesome.

However, this is also a process that Summit Film and Television must go through. If you want the superhero movie universe to take shape, and if you want Summit Film and Television to become one of the largest companies in the industry, this level must be passed.

Just when Xu Nan was involved in preparations for a new movie, Liu Shishi suddenly announced that she would participate in Xu Nan's next movie and play the leading role.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly detonated the entertainment industry.

You know, "The Beginning" hasn't been released yet, and Xu Nan is now very popular in the industry. Not to mention the best director in the country, he is at least one of the top three directors.

The protagonist of his new movie is the top-notch pie in the industry.

As soon as the news came out, Liu Shishi's fans cheered for joy.

"marvelous."

"I knew Shi Shi was the best."

"Xu Nan's movies are the top resources in the industry."

"I don't think anyone dares to say that our Shi Shi's acting skills are poor. If her acting skills were poor, would she be chosen by Xu Nan?"

"Great, Shi Shi is going to ascend."

"Xu Nan really has a discerning eye and picked our sister Shi Shi at a glance."

"You will be a noble movie star after you give."

Shi Shi's fan, Little Lion, was very happy, as if it was the Chinese New Year. To be precise, he was even happier than the Chinese New Year.

The celebrity himself may occasionally become decadent, but the celebrity's fans are always full of energy and care about the celebrity's career more than the celebrity himself.

Sometimes when a celebrity shows off a little bit and is lazy, the fans of the celebrity may not be able to bear it even before passers-by say anything.

Therefore, fans of celebrities are the ones who care most about their careers.

Liu Shishi is a first-line star in the industry, a top female star.

The little lions are usually very proud of it and have always been proud of it.

But the problem is, precisely because Liu Shishi is at the top, it is very difficult for her to continue to move up.

In terms of popularity, Liu Shishi is definitely not inferior to anyone, even better than those with low traffic.

It has only been a few years since the popularity of young celebrities emerged, and most of the fans are not yet adults. Liu Shishi is different. She has been popular for a long time and is spread among all age groups.

It is precisely because Liu Shi has been using fire for too long, which means that it is a bit prosperous and then declining. There is no shortage of second-level resources, but the top-level resources have never been available.

Capital is very realistic. Liu Shishi has proven herself in TV series, but she has not proven herself in movies, so no one asked her to act in movies.

Of course, if Liu Shishi insists on acting in a movie, she can still get a script, but the problem is that she is on the front line, so she must be cautious when accepting scripts. It is better not to accept a movie that is too low-key.

In the past few years, the little lions have watched Liu Shishi spinning around in TV series, spinning around again, but they couldn't get any good movies, and they were almost dying of anxiety.

Compare that to Mimi, who was originally about the same as Shi Shi, but thanks to Xu Nan's movie, Mimi, who rose to the top, almost went crazy.

Now seeing that Liu Shishi has been cast as the heroine in Xu Nan's movie, all the little lions went crazy and wanted to let the whole world know about it.

As a result, the news spread throughout the Internet in a short period of time.

Liu Shishi's fans let everyone know in the shortest possible time that their idol had received Xu Nan's movie.

The media also joined in the excitement at the right time.

"Liu Shishi participated in the movie. 》

"It is revealed that Xu Nan and Liu Shishi will reach a cooperation. 》

"Xu Nan spent one billion to create a major domestic movie, and Liu Shishi joined the cast. 》

"The story Liu Shishi and Xu Nan have to tell." 》

"Blind Sister and Blind Brother." 》

People in the circle also got the news.

"Xu Nan's new movie is coming out?"

"Is there any mistake, so fast?"

"Xu Nan has always made movies very quickly."

"Xu Nan made movies quickly in the past because the quality was not high. Now he wants to make good movies, so he can't be as messy as before."

Yes, in the past, Xu Nan's copycat films and spoof films were regarded as nonsense by many conservative people.

In other words, Xu Nan filmed a movie called "The Beginning" to cleanse himself, otherwise some people would speak more unpleasantly.

There are no secrets in the industry that can be hidden, especially when it comes to such a big deal as Xu Nan is going to make a new movie.

Soon, insiders learned more news.

"Xu Nan is going to make a superhero movie this time, and the cost is very high."

"How tall is high?"

"It is still under preparation and the estimated cost is about 500 million."

"hiss"

"With such a big deal, 90% of the movie box office is less than 500 million."

"Xu Nan went to Hollywood, and his projects became bigger and bigger every time. He dared to make movies worth 500 million yuan."

"I wonder if Xu Nan can afford so much money."

"The money must be available. Don't forget how high the box office of Xu Nan's movies in the past was. However, I have received news that Summit Films will only provide part of the funds for this movie, and the remaining funds will need to be raised through investment."

"How can I attract investment? Such a lot of money is not a small amount. Many directors are not talented, but they just can't find people to invest in making movies."

"It's true that finding investment is very difficult. Sometimes, even some big directors can't find investment for movies."

"A big director is good. He can at least talk to film and television companies on an equal footing. Small directors are really miserable. They are worse than a pug in front of film and television companies and sponsors."

"Many directors are actually very talented, but they just can't find anyone to invest in them, causing their talents to be buried."

"Like a truck driver."

"It may also have something to do with the subject matter. Some subjects are obviously very risky, and capital will definitely not invest in them."

"What type is Xu Nan's new movie?"

"A superhero movie, and a special effects blockbuster."

"Oh haha."

"Done."

"The buff stack is full."

"Superhero movies have never had success in China. As for special effects blockbusters, the corpse of "The Great Wall" is still hot."

"It is estimated that few people would dare to invest in this movie. Firstly, the cost is too high. Secondly, there is no successful precedent. Thirdly, the lead actor Liu Shishi cannot handle the box office."

"Xu Nan's movie may be aborted. Even if it is not aborted, it will probably be shrunk."

There was a lot of optimism in the circle.
