This director only makes bad movies

After the two people discussed it, they went back to prepare

Opening a new company is not something that can be done just by talking. It also requires a series of complicated tasks such as going through formalities, finding an office location, recruiting employees, etc.

Fortunately, both of them were resolute action men. After they decided to open a company in partnership, they didn't delay much. They quickly solved a series of formalities and allocated funds.

After a little debate, the name of the company was decided to be called Munan Video. Originally, Xu Nan wanted to call it Nanmu, which was more convenient, but Lin Ziyi disagreed.

After the company was successfully registered, Lin Ziyi immediately acquired Baofeng Video and merged it into Munan Video.

It can be seen that Lin Ziyi did decide to enter this industry after careful consideration, weighing the pros and cons, and confirming that there was a chance of success, rather than acting recklessly after having a hot head.

This can be seen from the acquisition of Baofeng video.

This is an old streaming media platform. Although it has fallen behind in the fierce competition and is dying, it is not that simple to acquire it. It must have gone through a very complicated process.

But after the company was established, it only took Lin Ziyi half a month to get it done.

Although 200 million yuan was spent to acquire Baofeng Video, it was all worth it.

Because the previous Munan Video, although it was established in name, was actually just an empty shell, with neither a TV series nor a variety show.

Such a video platform is meaningless to the audience.

But things are different after being merged into Storm Video. Although this video platform is already dying, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The content on it is still very rich. The film, TV series and variety shows are very complete, and many of the contents are exclusive.

At the same time, this video platform has many members, and its history is relatively long among other video platforms.

After Munan Video merged with Storm Video, it immediately made up for its shortcomings and gained a firm foothold in the industry.

At the same time, this news also caused a stir in the industry.

"Storm Video was acquired."

"Who?"

"Xu Nan."

"What is he doing?"

"That's right, Storm Video is almost dead. Is it necessary to acquire it?"

“There’s too much money and there’s nowhere to spend it, right?”

"Are you trying to get into the streaming industry?"

"The idea is good, but it is destined to fail."

"The streaming media industry is not something that ordinary people can get involved in, even if he is a top director, even if he owns a film and television company."

The industry was calm about the news.

Storm Video has already fallen behind in the fierce competition and is dying, just waiting to take its last breath.

Even if you Xu Nan buy it, what's the use?

Do you really think that you are a top director and can support a video platform?

Ten of you are useless.

Why don’t the industry think that Xu Nan’s acquisition of Storm Video is worthy of attention? It’s because operating a video platform consumes too much money.

What supports a video platform is its content. It must not only have old content, but also have a steady stream of new content.

Due to fierce competition, the price of buying movies and TV series is rising steadily.

Munan Video’s starting capital is one billion, which seems to be a lot, but other video platforms start with tens of billions of dollars a year to purchase new content.

Why have video platforms frequently closed down in recent years? It’s because funds cannot support them.

The few video platforms that were able to survive were supported by countless capital giants, but they couldn't hold on anymore, so they began to try to make their own videos.

You Xunan has a little money, but can he compare with several major video platforms? Any video platform consumes more than tens of billions of funds. Your little money will last you a long time.

Unless you can continuously create hits, let Munan Video have continuous hematopoietic ability.

But is that possible?

In fact, Xu Nan is not the only owner of Munan Video, Lin Ziyi is also one of the bosses.

But Xu Nan is much more famous than Lin Ziyi, so everyone assumes that this video platform belongs to Xu Nan.

In fact, this is not wrong, because Xu Nan also has shares in it, and he has made up his mind to acquire more shares in the future and become the real controller of this video platform.

If you want to win more shares, you must bring more members to the website.

The best way to bring in more members is to produce a hit drama that will force viewers to become members.

Moreover, Xu Nan has already thought about what TV series to film.

Just shoot "Never Expected".

This is the first nonsensical spoof online short drama in Chinese history, which in a sense creates history.

This short drama lasted less than an hour in total, which may not be as long as one episode of other TV series, but it created a lot of history.

Many lines in it have become Internet buzzwords and have endured for a long time.

For example, I think of running under the sunset, which is our lost youth.

Or, it won't be long before I get a promotion and a salary increase, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of my life.

This short drama has great influence and has profoundly changed China's video landscape. It can be called the originator of short dramas.

The most important thing is that this short drama is extremely simple and low-cost to shoot.

It's low cost, high quality, and can be a big hit, so it must be shot.

After deciding to film the TV series "Unexpectedly", Xu Nan began to prepare the crew.

To be honest, this short drama was really easy to film and easy to prepare. It was even easier than copycats.

People in the company even thought that Xu Nan was going to copy another popular movie. After all, this is Summit Video and Xu Nan's business.

While preparing for the filming of "Unexpectedly", the public casting call for "Dian Mu" also came to an end.

"This is the list of actors who have made it to the final round."

Liu Yang handed a document to Xu Nan.

Liu Yang has always been in charge of the public casting of "Dian Mu", but he can only be responsible for the first few rounds. The one who can really make the decision is Xu Nan.

Xu Nan glanced at the list and curled his lips and said, "Liu Yifei actually made it to the final round."

Liu Yang showed his serious face: "I did consider whether to eliminate her, but her personal image does fit better with the movie, so I let her enter the final round."

"And whether or not to choose her as the protagonist of "Dian Mu", I think it should be decided by you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Nan nodded, accepting Liu Yang's explanation.

There are four stars who have entered the final round, namely Liu Yifei, Fan Bing, Tang Wei, and Tang Yan. They are all top female stars, and they are also very suitable for the role of Dian Mu.

It’s really nerve-wracking to decide who to choose.

However, after the interview, Xu Nan finally chose the female star Fan Bing.

She has a title, the Queen of the Red Carpet. She is constantly controversial and is the top female star in the entertainment industry.

Another key point is that Fan Bing is very beautiful and has an almost perfect face. He was once used as a plastic surgery template by major plastic surgery hospitals. I don’t know how many female Internet celebrities have used Fan Bing’s face for plastic surgery.

In the setting, Dian Mu comes from the Heavenly Court of a higher civilization, and her appearance must not be low.

Originally, Xu Nan felt that Liu Yifei was the most suitable. She had an ethereal fairy spirit and was just right for playing the role of a fairy.

But who told her to do it by herself?

Moreover, Fan Bing's appearance is not inferior to Liu Yifei's, and is even better to some extent.

In this case, it might not be a bad choice to choose Fan Bing.

When the news spread, Fan Bing was overjoyed, while Liu Yifei's expression was completely distorted.

I didn't choose it.

I have already condescended to participate in the casting, but I haven’t been selected yet?

But no matter how angry and disbelieving Liu Yifei felt, the facts could not be changed.

The entertainment industry is so cruel and ever-changing, if you miss it, you will miss it.

The media also began to report.

"Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, and Tang Wei unfortunately lost out, and Fan Bing is confirmed to play the role of Mother Dian. 》

"Red Carpet Queen and Superhero, Reviewing Fan Bing's Controversial Ten Years." 》

"Liu Yang: Lightning Mother is the most critical part of the superhero universe. 》

"Fan Bing: Who else would I be if Mother Lightning were to leave me?" 》

"Industry Expert: Dianmu will usher in the era of special effects blockbusters. 》

"Are you looking forward to the electric mother?" 》

"The connection between Lightning Mother and Captain China, Spider-Man, and Glare Man. 》

Because of the residual popularity of "The Starry Man" and the fact that this casting almost wiped out all the female stars in the entertainment industry, the public is very concerned about it.

After the results came out, it went on several hot searches, triggering discussions among many netizens.

"It's Fan Bing. She doesn't have any outstanding works."

"Why doesn't Bingbing have any works that can be used? It's better than some celebrities who are on the street every day."

"I thought the role belonged to Liu Yifei. After all, she is the most beautiful among the four."

"Nonsense, Bingbing is the most beautiful."

"What's wrong with my Tangtang?"

"Please make it clear, isn't Tang Wei worthy?"

There was a melee below the hot search.

After all, these four female celebrities are so popular that they can be said to be well-known to everyone.

No matter which female star is chosen to star in a movie, there will always be controversy.

And this kind of controversy is also good for the movie "Dian Mother", allowing more people to have an impression of the movie.

Although the movie has not been shot yet, advance promotion has begun.

Lin Ziyi, who was busy at work, checked her cell phone and saw the relevant news. She shook her head and called Xu Nan.

"I have almost communicated with the American side, and the authorization of some classic film and television dramas should be finalized soon."

Xu Nan replied: "That's good. There are quite a few people in China who like to watch American TV series. With authorization, the software should be able to gain many more users."

Lin Ziyi reminded: "I have done what I said at the beginning, what about you?"

Xu Nan: "Don't worry, Munan's video will be released as soon as possible after "The Staring Man" is released. In this regard, I will never break my promise."

Lin Ziyi added: "This is not included in the contribution."

Xu Nan replied: "I understand, since the authorization of those old contents is not considered your contribution, then of course my movie is not considered a contribution."

Xu Nan and Lin Ziyi agreed to compete on innovation ability, that is, new content, and old content, whether it is Xu Nan's "Staring Man" or the film and television drama licenses obtained by Lin Ziyi, do not count.

The key is who can create new hit movies and TV series and attract viewers to pay.

The two discussed the development strategy of Munan Video for a while, then hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Xu Nan played with his phone and showed a smile.

"I didn't expect Lin Ziyi to be quite competitive."

If this is the case, then he cannot fall behind, otherwise the shares of Munan Video will really fall into Lin Ziyi's hands.

"Never Expected" will start filming immediately.
