This director only makes bad movies
Chapter 603 Liu Yifei plays the role of Mother Lightning
"Do I still have a chance?"
Liu Yifei asked her agent.
She really wanted the role of the Electric Mother.
Liu Lili was full of confidence: "80% sure, you know, you were originally the first choice for the Mother of Lightning, but you were only rejected because of an accident. Now that Fan Bing has an accident, who else will I choose?"
"Very good." Liu Yifei clenched her fists tightly, looking excited.
"But there is one thing about concubines. We can't be so arrogant anymore. We have to be humble. If we still have the same attitude as last time, we will definitely not get this role."
"I understand." Liu Yifei nodded.
It has been almost a year and a half since the release of "The Eyed Man".
In the past year and a half, Liu Yifei's career curve has been declining steadily, and she has launched another blockbuster co-produced by China and the United States. The reputation of being a box office poison has been hanging on her head.
If it weren't for the support of some die-hard fans, she would almost have no such person in the entertainment industry.
Being beaten so hard by society, Liu Yifei couldn't float even if she wanted to.
Seeing that Liu Yifei had a correct attitude, Liu Lili breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she has a correct attitude, she will be sure to win this role.
Liu Lili took action.
Having been in the industry for many years, she certainly has some skills.
Moreover, she has been in contact with Xu Nan and Liu Dongdong and knows who in the crew can have a say in casting.
Of course Xu Nan is the one who calls the shots, but Liu Yang, the assistant director, actually also has a lot of say.
The first person Liu Lili contacted was Liu Yang. She knew that Liu Yifei was Liu Yang's idol. This emotion originated from childhood is the deepest and is difficult to eliminate.
As long as you make good use of this, you can definitely ask Liu Yang to help say a good word to Xu Nan and increase the probability of Liu Yifei getting the role.
In just over a day, Liu Yang took out a list and handed it to Xu Nan.
"Tang Yan, Tang Wei, Liu Yifei, the same ones." Xu Nan sighed.
Liu Yang's expression remained unchanged: "There is no way to direct. They are the most suitable. If we don't want them, we will have to start a large-scale casting process again."
Xu Nan shook his head.
Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive to recast a large-scale cast, the crew will also be shut down as a result, causing considerable losses.
He didn't want to do it until the last minute.
Xu Nan asked: "Who do you think is the most suitable?"
Liu Yang said without hesitation: "Concubine Liu Yifei!"
"Why? I remember her agent had a very bad attitude last time."
"Mr. Xu, Fan Bing was caught stealing and leaking water. There will definitely be a wave of rectification in the industry, and it is estimated that many people will be implicated."
"Tang Yan and Tang Wei seem to have similar problems, but Liu Yifei is Chinese from the United States and is very clean. There is no problem in this regard."
Xu Nan nodded.
Americans do have an advantage when it comes to taxation. The domestic taboo is not to get involved in drugs, and the American taboo is not to pay less tax.
In the United States, even those who sell powder must pay taxes, otherwise they will be severely beaten by the tax bureau.
When it comes to tax issues, Liu Yifei, as an American, does have great advantages.
Considering this, Liu Yifei is really the most suitable candidate.
Xu Nan hesitated for a moment: "I'll inform her and ask her to come over for an audition."
Liu Yang nodded.
Once you get to the audition stage, things are basically set.
The audition process went smoothly. Liu Yifei's acting skills were actually average, but Xu Nan could tolerate this shortcoming.
Fitting the character image is the most important thing.
The mother of lightning comes from the heavenly court of a higher civilization. This setting dictates that actors must have good looks.
It's not that there aren't actresses with good acting skills in the industry, but their image is still far from Xu Nan's imagination of Dian Mu.
So overall, Liu Yifei is indeed the most suitable actress to play the role of the Mother of Lightning.
Whether it is commercial value or topicality, Liu Yifei is not lacking.
After thinking seriously for a while, Xu Nan looked serious.
"Miss Liu, I don't want to lie to you. You are a very suitable actor to play the role of the Lightning Mother."
Liu Yifei smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
"but."
Xu Nan's expression was serious: "I'm really worried about your basic qualities and whether you can play the role of Lightning Mother well."
Liu Yifei's expression froze.
Liu Lili, who was standing next to her, immediately said: "Director Xu, Feifei has many acting experiences, and her basic qualities are definitely passable."
Xu Nan said calmly: "That's why it's called Box Office Poison, right?"
Liu Yifei: "."
Liu Lili: "."
Liu Lili said feebly: "Those movies failed for a reason."
That's what he said, but Liu Lili knew that this explanation was difficult to convince people.
The failure of one movie can be said to be an accident, the failure of two movies can be said to be accidental, but the failure of three movies is still accidental and accidental, not to mention that there are far more than three movies that Liu Yifei hit the street.
At this time, Liu Yang said: "Director Xu, I think we can give Miss Liu a chance. She especially wants to get rid of the reputation of being a box office poison. I believe she will perform well."
"Yeah."
Liu Yifei and Liu Lili nodded hurriedly.
Xu Nan sneered: "What's the use of talking, what I want to see is actions."
After a verbal battle, Xu Nan and Liu Yifei signed a harsh unequal treaty.
First of all, there was the remuneration. Liu Yifei promised not to pay in exchange for a 2% share of the film.
In other words, how much money she can get depends entirely on the box office performance of the movie. The higher the box office, the more remuneration she will get.
Relying on this, Xu Nan firmly tied Liu Yifei to the movie.
Then there is the liquidated damages, which should be raised as high as possible, so high that Liu Yifei cannot breach the contract at all.
These are only the two most basic points. The other provisions of the contract are also extremely harsh, ensuring that Liu Yifei must devote herself wholeheartedly to the filming of the movie and serve the movie.
The reason why Xu Nan asked Liu Yifei to sign the contract so harshly was to force Liu Yifei to the maximum extent to show her best condition and acting skills.
The contract was very harsh, but Liu Yifei and Liu Lili argued weakly for a few words, and after finding that nothing could be changed, they reluctantly signed it.
There is no way, he is already a poison at the box office. If he doesn't think of a way to reverse the situation, he will soon be nowhere to be found in the entertainment industry.
No one knows how fierce competition is in this circle than Liu Yifei, who is in it.
After finally becoming a big star, she had tasted the taste of scenery, but she didn't want to give up.
Moreover, she pounced again and again, but she actually didn’t have much choice. If she didn’t play the role of the Lightning Mother, she wouldn’t be able to get any good roles in the future.
To think about it another way, Xu Nan has never been defeated so far.
As long as "Dian Mu" is a box office hit, she can not only wash away her reputation as a box office poison, but she can also use the fame of this movie to return to the top.
Therefore, after considering various factors, Liu Yifei agreed to Xu Nan's harsh conditions and became an actor in "Dian Mu".
