Chapter 653 Your role is the most important
after one day.
Summit Film and Television.
Mimi, Shi Shi, and Liu Yifei met unexpectedly.
Seeing that there were others, the three of them looked surprised at first, and then quickly showed hostility.
You don’t have to think about it. What other reason could it be for Xu Nan’s new movie to appear on Summit Film and Television during this time period?
In the office, Xu Nan was not surprised to hear that three people had arrived at the same time.
This was the result he wanted, otherwise, they wouldn't have made an appointment on the same day.
"Invite them all into the conference room."
"OK."
The assistant in charge of trivial matters nodded and left the office.
Soon, Xu Nan arrived at the conference room.
Different from what he imagined, in the conference room, the three female celebrities were sitting together like very good best friends, chatting and laughing generously, and having fun.
If he hadn't known the true relationship between these people, seeing this scene, Xu Nan might have really thought that they had a good relationship.
But actually.
Plastic sister flowers.
"Director Xu, you are here."
Mimi saw Xu Nan first, her big eyes lit up, she walked over with a smile and chatted with him, looking extremely familiar with him.
Xu Nan was not in a hurry and started chatting with Mimi at the door.
Seeing this, Shi Shi was not to be outdone, and came up to interrupt their conversation, and also started talking to Xu Nan.
Liu Yifei was more reserved, but she also took the initiative to greet him and chatted for a few words.
Xu Nan chatted with a few people for a while and got acquainted with them again, which would also facilitate subsequent cooperation.
Among the three of them, Mimi and he last worked together several years ago, the same goes for Shi Shi, and the latest Liu Yifei has not seen him for a year. Apart from sending some congratulatory messages during the holidays, they basically have no contact. , Xu Nan of course needs to get acquainted with them.
After all, these are the protagonists of his movies.
Xu Nan took a closer look at the condition of several people, and found that they were all in good condition. They were still radiant and looked several years younger than their actual age.
After all, he is a celebrity who relies on his face to make a living, so he pays great attention to this aspect.
After chatting for a while and getting acquainted with each other, Xu Nan finally expressed his intention.
"You beauties, actually I invited you here today because I want you to star in my next movie "Sweep the Alliance"."
"us?"
Mimi was the first to notice something was wrong.
Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, it's you."
"You should remember that I said that all superhero movies have the same world view. As long as everything goes well, there will be a collection in the future."
"'Captain China', 'Spider-Man', 'Stargazer', and 'Dragon Mother' have all been successful, so I plan to make a big collection movie. The story is that all the superheroes unite to fight the villains."
"This is the script, you can take a look."
Xu Nan asked Yu Fei to distribute the script to three people.
Seeing that it was not the heroine movie they imagined, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but also a little happy at the same time.
Because it means they won't lose.
Moreover, when shooting a sequel movie, the probability of success is higher, even if the quality is worse, the box office will not be low.
Several people read the script seriously.
There's nothing much to say about the content of the script. It's a typical story of good triumphing over evil. They also have a rough idea of whether the script is good or bad. This script is obviously good.
Looking at the subtle expressions on the three people's faces, Xu Nan was very confident that it was impossible for these three people to reject him.
The reason is simple, this is his Xu Nan's movie.
Moreover, although "Sweep the Alliance" is a group movie, it has a lot of scenes, which is much better than those movies with male protagonists and sided female protagonists.
The development of these people is like that. Unless they are smart, how can they be willing to reject his movie.
really.
He was right.
A few people just took a cursory look at the script and agreed to star in "Sweep the Alliance".
The reason is simple. This is Xu Nan's movie, and Xu Nan is the guarantee of success.
In the entertainment industry, everyone hopes to cooperate with successful people and share the fruits of success.
but.
Even if a few people agree to appear, things are not that simple.
First of all, there is the issue of schedule. The three stars all have a lot of announced schedules. When the movie will start, it needs to coordinate the time of the three people to decide.
Then there is the salary. All three people are on the front line, so the salary must not be too low. If only one person stars, they may consider lowering the salary, but with three people together, they will not lower themselves.
In addition, there are various treatment issues, such as whether to use a dressing room alone or shared by multiple people, or whether the crew should provide an RV to the star, what specifications the food is, and whether the place of stay is a five-star hotel. Wait, wait, it's all a lot of things.
Some stars have extremely high requirements in this regard. There was once a star who asked for thousands of conditions when filming a movie, including food, water, accommodation, rest, and even pet dogs to help take care of them. He also needed to ask for help Pet stylists help with grooming.
Although the requirements of Mimi and others are not that perverted, they are not much lower.
In this regard, Xu Nan did not interfere too much, but asked producer Yu Fei to negotiate with several people's agents.
As long as the conditions they propose are not too excessive, you can agree to them.
After all, he is a first-line star, so he still needs to have a good reputation.
Fortunately, several people sincerely wanted to star in Xu Nan's film, and the conditions they proposed were not too excessive. The producer Yu Fei and several agents negotiated and signed the contract.
After the contract was signed, Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei said goodbye to Xu Nan one after another. They still had notices to run and their schedules were full.
Mimi stayed to chat with Xu Nan.
"I'm telling you, Director Xu, you are too cheating. The movie you promised to have a female protagonist turned out to be a group portrait movie."
"I treat you as a friend, but you cheat on me like this."
Xu Nan said in surprise: "When did I trick you? All four leading actors in "Sweep the Alliance" are women. Isn't it a movie with a female protagonist?"
Mimi: "."
Are you embarrassed to say it?
Shouldn't there be only one protagonist in a movie with a true female protagonist?
There is a huge gap between group movies and single-protagonist movies.
"Director Xu, I regard you as a friend."
Mimi looked at Xu Nan with big eyes, her expression was extremely sincere.
Xu Nan's face straightened: "Mimi, in fact, I also regard you as a friend."
Mimi doubted: "Really?"
Xu Nan solemnly nodded: "Of course it is true. Although "Sweep the Alliance" is a group movie, I can guarantee you that Spider-Man has the most scenes in it, and it is also the most important."
"real?"
Mimi's eyes lit up.
If this is the case, then "Sweep the Alliance" means a lot to her, and it might become another masterpiece after "Spider-Man".
I'm a little speechless. After so many years since her debut, the only movie that can be regarded as her masterpiece is "Spider-Man" with Xu Nan.
At the same time, this movie also has the highest box office.
Other movies in which he appeared.
Don’t talk anymore. If you talk too much, you will shed tears.
So, I still have to work with a great director like Xu Nan.
Only by cooperating with great directors can the quality of the film be guaranteed.
Wasn't it because of her cooperation with Xu Nan that her career reached its peak before?
So this cake smells really delicious.
"Of course it's true. What's the relationship between the two of us?"
"I still use the gift you gave me last time."
"Besides, what reason do I have to lie to you? Spider-Man is indeed the most important character in "Sweeps". Because this character has the lowest background and the widest audience, I have designed the most scenes for this character."
Xu Nan spoke very seriously, and it seemed sincere at first glance.
Mimi suddenly felt happy, and the smile on her face was particularly bright.
Sure enough, it is useful to give gifts during the holidays. It is true that she personally selects the gifts. Isn't that the effect?
"It seems that I wrongly blamed you, Director Xu."
Xu Nan frowned: "Forget it, we are friends, I don't blame you."
"But let me say the ugly things first. In this movie, you have the most scenes and the most important role. So when you are on the set, you must stand up for me and never let me down."
Mimi's expression turned solemn: "I'm sure Director Xu, since this movie is mainly about me, I will definitely do my best."
"That's good."
Xu Nan's expression softened a lot: "Get ready, I hope to see your amazing performance on the set."
"no problem."
Mimi just patted her chest to make sure.
"Oh, right."
Xu Nan slapped his head: "Spider-Man has the most scenes in the movie. I'm only telling you. On the surface, your scenes are almost the same, but in fact, when editing, I will definitely focus on Spider-Man. So don’t tell anyone about this matter, I’m afraid that a few other people will have opinions and it will affect the filming.”
Mimi nodded wildly: "Don't worry, Director Xu, I will definitely not tell anyone."
"It's a little secret that only the two of us know."
After talking with Xu Nan, Mimi felt confident and went back excitedly, as if she had been given a shot of blood.
In the movie "Sweep the Alliance", I have the most roles, and I am also the most important one in the movie.
Must work hard.
The film quickly entered the preparatory stage.
Xu Nan initially estimated that the total cost of this movie would be 700 million, with Peak Film and Television providing 100 million, Nanmu Video 100 million, and the remaining money would be invested by other people.
This is to spread risk.
Of course, if the movie makes money, Xu Nan will definitely get the biggest piece of it; if it loses money, his loss will be the smallest.
It’s an old routine in the industry.
But even with such harsh conditions, there was still a large group of people queuing up to send money to Xu Nan, for fear that he would not accept it.
The reason is very simple. Xu Nan has never suffered a loss since his debut, and he can be called the undefeated God of War.
The advertising investment was also extremely smooth. In order to appear in the movie, major advertisers lined up to send money to Xu Nan, fearing that they would not accept it.
The preparation of the film went extremely smoothly.
Including Lin Hongxiu, although she didn't have a good impression of Xu Nan, it had been so long ago and it wasn't a deep hatred, so it naturally faded away.
With the support of Lin Ziyi, Lin Hongxiu finally agreed to participate in the movie "Sweep the Alliance".
This made Xu Nan relieved.
If Lin Hongxiu doesn't act, it's not impossible for him to find someone else to take over, but that will definitely have a negative impact on the movie.
It would be best if Lin Hongxiu agreed to participate.
In order to prevent problems, Xu Nan also specially asked Lin Ziyi to connect, treated Lin Hongxiu to a meal, and went out for a day. The barrier was finally eliminated, ensuring that it would not affect the filming of the movie.
When they parted, Xu Nan even patted her chest and promised in front of Lin Ziyi.
"It was my fault that I made a bad movie last time. I didn't expect you to be so demanding."
"But don't worry this time, "Sweep the Alliance" is definitely a serious movie, with big special effects and big scenes. Your Chinese captain also has the most scenes in the movie and is also the most important character."
"I guarantee this movie will impress everyone."
Lin Hongxiu snorted coldly: "If you dare to lie to me again this time, I will ignore you for the rest of my life, and I will ask my sister to ignore you as well."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. I swear to God."
soon.
It's time for the movie to start shooting.
On this day, Xu Nan held a launch conference and provided reporters with a lot of material before starting to shoot the movie.
Before filming, he found a chance to be alone with Liu Shishi.
"Shi Shi, there is something I must tell you."
Xu Nan's expression was serious.
"Director Xu, tell me."
"Have you read the script of "Sweep the Alliance"?"
Liu Shishi immediately said: "After watching Director Xu, I not only finished watching it, but I can also recite most of the lines in it, which ensures that I will not be held back during filming."
Xu Nan looked pleased: "Sure enough, I know that your attitude is the best, Shi Shi. Then I can rest assured to hand over the heavy responsibility to you."
"ah?"
Liu Shishi looked confused.
Xu Nan whispered: "Shi Shi, I'll give it to you."
"On the surface, in the movie "Sweep the Alliance", you two have similar roles, but in fact, your Glare Man is the most important character in the movie. He plays a key role in connecting the past and the next, and he also has the most roles."
"real or fake."
Liu Shishi felt happy.
"Of course it's true. Other characters have superpowers that are either mutated or have their own superpowers. Only "Starer" relies on high technology. This character is unique in the movie and plays a very critical role in the battle situation."
Xu Nan vowed with sincerity.
"Then" Liu Shishi suppressed a smile: "Isn't this bad for other people?"
Xu Nan spread his hands: "There is no way, the movie always has to focus on something, this is all for the sake of movie quality."
Liu Shishi couldn't help but nodded.
Yes, it’s all for the sake of movie quality.
"So."
Xu Nan warned seriously: "Shi Shi, you must act well and be at your best, otherwise the quality of the movie will be affected."
Liu Shishi immediately said: "Director Xu, don't worry. Don't you know it? I am focusing on the movie and I promise to give you the best acting skills. I will never let you down."
"I can rest assured that."
Xu Nan looked pleased.
"By the way, no one else knows about this. On the surface, your roles are almost the same, so you must not tell others."
