This director only makes bad movies

Liu Yifei's agent Liu Lili was also anxious.

"Fei Fei, you can't be willful anymore. You must contact Liu Yang immediately, otherwise the role of Telephone Mother will be taken away."

Liu Yifei was very angry: "Didn't Summit Film and Television invite me first? I haven't replied yet. How can they choose someone else?"

Liu Lili laughed angrily: "My little ancestor, please stop talking about this. If you don't apologize to Xu Nan, we won't even have a chance to enter the casting process."

When it comes to business, Liu Yifei is still very hesitant: "I have to apologize. Is it okay if I don't apologize? If I apologize, will the role of Dian Mu be mine?"

Liu Lili was almost speechless.

"Dian Mu is the top pie in the industry. All qualified female celebrities in the entertainment industry are eyeing it. Originally, this resource was indeed ours, but who told you to put up conditions at that time?"

"Times have changed, and the situation has changed. Now if you apologize, you still have a certain chance of becoming the actor of Dian Mu, but if you don't apologize, then there is really no chance at all."

"Must I apologize?" Liu Yifei was still hesitant.

Liu Lili said decisively: "I must apologize."

"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded frustratedly.

In fact, there are no real fools who can make it in the entertainment industry. The main reason was that Liu Yang's attitude was too licking before and confused him. In addition, Liu Yifei had always been smooth sailing, which led to misjudgment of the situation.

Now that a big stick was coming, Liu Yifei actually woke up and knew that she was not qualified to negotiate terms. If she didn't bow her head, she might not even have the chance to lick the cake.

There is no one in the entertainment industry who is not a fan of the world. Even if he is, under the fierce competition in the entertainment industry, he can only join in the same trend.

The situation at hand was not right, and Liu Yifei could not keep calm anymore, so she decisively called Liu Yang.

It's not that I don't want to call Xu Nan's number, but that I can't get Xu Nan's number. Even if I can get it, the effect of calling without contacting him in advance may not be good.

Liu Yang is different. He is the person responsible for casting, and he is also a fan of hers. As long as she says a few nice words, he will definitely sell her face.

"Hello, who are you?" Liu Yang's voice came from the phone.

In fact, he knew who was calling, and he asked this question intentionally.

Liu Yifei didn't care about anything else and said directly: "Hello, Director Liu, I am Liu Yifei. We talked on the phone before."

"Oh, Miss Liu, what's the matter?" Liu Yang pretended to just remember.

Liu Yifei said: "That's it. What happened last time was my fault. Please forgive me."

"Hey, this is about it." Liu Yang smiled: "It's like this in the industry. If the conditions are not agreed upon, just forget it. We can cooperate next time if we have a chance."

"No need for next time." Liu Yifei said anxiously: "We can cooperate this time."

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Liu Yang looked confused.

Liu Yifei didn't bother to play riddles anymore and said directly: "I am willing to play the role of Lightning Mother, and I can also reduce the salary."

"I'm afraid that won't work. We, Mr. Xu, have no plans to go to the United States to make movies for the time being." Liu Yang refused directly.

Liu Yifei: "No need for this, I don't need Mr. Xu to promise me anything, just let me play the role of Dian Mu."

Liu Yang smiled: "That's not okay. We have already said that we will open the casting. There are so many female celebrities in the entertainment industry waiting for us. We can't go back on our word, otherwise it won't sound good if word gets out."

Liu Yifei was dumbfounded: "What should we do?"

Liu Yang chuckled: "Miss Liu can participate in the open casting. As long as she fits the role, I believe Mr. Xu will consider it."

"ah?"

Liu Yifei couldn't hold herself any longer.

Are you going to participate in an open casting call and compete with other female celebrities?

How could this be?

She was the first one invited to play the role of Dian Mu, so why was she suddenly reduced to competing with others.

"Well." Liu Yifei said softly, "You can't choose me directly. Mr. Liu, didn't you say before that I must be the role of Mother of Lightning?"

"Haha." Liu Yang smiled: "Did I say this? I don't quite remember."

"Miss Liu, that's it for now. I have other things to do, so I'll hang up first."

After saying that, Liu Yang hung up the phone directly, leaving Liu Yifei with a confused look on her face.

Oh, I was so polite to you because I had a filter on you before. Now that I don’t have a filter, you are nothing.

More than ten years ago, you were a fairy sister, but now you are forty, and you are an aunt.

He really took himself seriously.

"He hung up on me."

Liu Yifei still couldn't believe it.

Liu Lili asked anxiously: "What about the role? Have you got the role of Dian Mu?"

"He wants me to participate in an open casting call, but he hasn't said that he will definitely give it to me." Liu Yifei was devastated.

Liu Lili sighed: "There is no way, mainly because the previous conditions offended Summit Film and Television too much, so I missed this role."

"Now that I want to play the role of the Lightning Mother, I have no choice but to participate in the open casting call."

"Furthermore, Summit Film and Television's first choice was you. Even if we participate in an open casting call, our chances of winning are very high."

"I really want to participate in the open casting." Liu Yifei was anxious.

Agent Liu Lili took a rare tough stance: "I have to go."

Liu Yang was busy with the public casting call to choose actors suitable for Dian Mu, but Xu Nan, as a director, took a break from his busy schedule and had rare free time.

However, at this moment, Xu Nan's phone suddenly lit up.

Looking at the name, it turned out to be Lin Ziyi, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Could it be that he is also here to intercede for an actor who wants to play the role of the Lightning Mother?

This was Xu Nan's first thought.

After picking up the phone, Lin Ziyi's first words stunned him.

"I'm back in China. Let's meet up when I have time."

After saying that, Lin Ziyi hung up the phone directly.

Then, a text message was sent with the address.

A park.

Xu Nan sat next to Lin Ziyi, and the two of them occupied the benches on the left and right. Looking from a distance, it felt like they were on a blind date.

"It's better to stay in China. It's full of fireworks. The key is to be comfortable."

Lin Ziyi stretched out her arms and stretched her body, like a stretching black cat, graceful and seductive.

"The United States is pretty good too. You can experience the thrill of the battlefield every day." Xu Nan said slowly.

"Pfft." Lin Ziyi smiled: "Why don't you stop being poor? You have ruined the good atmosphere."

Xu Nan shook his head: "I'm not poor, I just want to tell you that I've been here for five minutes. If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. I'm very busy, okay?"

"Tch, isn't it just the casting for "Dian Mu"? It's like no one knows about it." Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes: "The casting will take at least a few days, so there's no need to rush."

"But that's no reason for you to waste my time."

"Okay, I won't beat around the bush with you." Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes at Xu Nan: "I came to you just to ask if you are willing to start a business with me."

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment: "That's it?"

"Otherwise, what do you think is going on?"

"Nothing." Xu Nan shook his head.

In fact, he thought Lin Ziyi came to him to intercede for Lin Hongxiu for the casting of "Dian Mu".

But there is no need to say such things.

Lin Ziyi said directly: "In the United States, the two of us work very happily together. You know my abilities and I understand yours. It can be said that we have a very good basis for cooperation."

"Why don't you go work for Shenhua Group?" Xu Nan asked.

Lin Ziyi's eyes became a little gloomy: "The old man has indeed arranged a high-level position in the group for me. In fact, he asked me to go to the United States to take charge of the Imperial Cinemas. He also wanted me to have some experience and then come back to take over."

"But I don't want to follow the path set by the old man. I want to make my own way."

After speaking, Lin Ziyi explained seriously without waiting for Xu Nan to answer.

"You should have seen my situation when you were in the United States. At that time, I had just taken over the Imperial Cinemas. The senior executives relied on their seniority and often made things difficult for me. It was very annoying."

"Later on, I worked very hard to deal with them. Just fighting with them took a lot of thought, and it took me a long time to control the theater."

"It's probably the same in China. For my dad's sake, the people in the company may be more calm, but that's just superficial respect. Deep down, they still look down on me and think that my promotion is all thanks to my dad."

Xu Nan said slowly: "I believe that your talent, as long as you have enough time, will definitely be recognized by the employees of Shenhua Group."

"Yes, I can do it." Lin Ziyi nodded: "But the question is why do I have to be so tired."

"No matter how good the Shenhua Group is, it was built by the old man. I am young, why can't I build a world on my own?"

"When I make my way outside, I want to see who else in the group dares to be weird."

"Bah bang bang."

Xu Nan clapped his hands.

"Okay, be ambitious."

"Six six six."

"You." Lin Ziyi laughed angrily: "You're ruining the atmosphere for me again, aren't you?"

"It's not to ruin the atmosphere." Xu Nan shook his head: "Everyone has dreams, and everyone can talk big words. The key is to see whether they can be realized."

"If you can succeed, you are right. If you can't succeed, you are just a clown."

Lin Ziyi was very unconvinced and seemed not to be shocked at all.

Xu Nan didn't care about Lin Ziyi's thoughts and asked directly: "Since you asked me to come out, you must have an idea. Tell me, which line of work are you going to engage in?"

"The entertainment industry." Lin Ziyi said seriously: "To be more precise, it is the streaming media industry."

"In the United States, I believe you should feel the power of the streaming media giant Netflix. Whether it is a theater chain or a film and television company, it is lower than Netflix."

"The streaming media industry has huge potential, which is just right for us."

"Currently, with the development of mobile Internet, more and more people are buying and owning smartphones. This is a blue ocean that has not been fully explored."

"There are two of us. You have talent and I have connections. If we join forces, we will definitely be able to make a big difference."

"Bullshit." Xu Nan laughed angrily: "The blue sea is a hammer, this is obviously the Red Sea, and it is the kind of Red Sea where the fighting is extremely fierce."

"A few years ago, there were more than a dozen domestic streaming media platforms, including Penguin Video, Kiwi Video, Oil Depot Video, Moon Video, Baofeng Video, etc."

"Now that a few years have passed, there are only five or six streaming media platforms left alive, and a dozen have died. There are so many tragic examples in front of you. If you dare to go up, you are really stubborn."

"Long-form videos are already a dead sea. It's better to use short-form videos. If you really want to do streaming media, will you excuse me for not accompanying you?"
