This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 456
Xu Nan is also paying attention to the movement on the Internet.

Xu Nan was speechless when he saw the bad-mouthing of the media and the joke-watching attitude of the insiders.

No, what do you guys think.

A movie with a cost of 300 million yuan and a box office of 300 million yuan, you actually said that this movie hit the street?

How dare you say it's a money-making movie?

Especially some people in the industry, the movies you have worked so hard to make can't make any money at all, but you come to despise my movies that have already made money, how dare you guys.

But this is also normal. Many people are like this. They obviously don't understand anything, but they dare to talk nonsense about things they don't understand at all.

For this kind of person, if you take one more look, you will lose.

Moreover, this movie is "Sharknado".

"Sharknado" is a famous series of spoof movies shot by American Shelter Films.

How fierce is this series of movies?
From "Sharknado 1", to "Sharknado 2", "Sharknado 3", until the sixth film "Sharknado 6: The Last Sharknado".

In this series of movies, one is more exaggerated than the last, and one is more shocking than the last. By the fourth movie, the Sharknado has gone into space to attack the space station, and the fifth Sharknado has caused the end of the world. Almost destroyed the whole world.

The sixth part is the most exaggerated, and Sharknado begins to travel through time and space, completely rubbing people's IQ on the floor.

Countless viewers crazily scolded the Sharknado series, but the more they scolded the series, the more popular the movies were, and the more people watched them.

A spoof film can be made in six consecutive films, and each film makes money, do you understand what this concept is.

It's a cash cow.

You guys are still looking down on it.

It doesn't matter, the more ruthless the voices are now, the more I want to hear the slaps in the face of these people when the "Sharknado" series makes money in the future.

Although these guys may turn around and forget about it.

"President Xu, here we are, Morning Star Entertainment." The company photographer Yu Fei said.

Xu Nan looked at the surrounding environment and nodded slightly: "The office environment of Morning Star Entertainment is quite good, as expected of a big company."

Yu Fei immediately said: "It's just a glamorous appearance, maybe it's still losing money, I'm surprised, Mr. Xu, why do you have to come to the door in person when you're looking for an actor, all you need is a notice, it's her loss if you don't come. "

Xu Nan smiled: "It's not necessary, coming to the door in person can show my sincerity, and Zhang Qingqing is indeed a popular actor, so it's not too bad for me to come to the door."

"When the movie is successful in the future, it will be a good talk if it is spread, and it can be marketed."

Yu Fei was a little unconvinced, but didn't say much.

No matter how much the industry criticizes Summit Films, the employees of Summit Films have a strong sense of superiority.

Because they are the only company in the industry that has produced two billion-dollar movies, and their treatment can definitely rank among the top three in the industry.

With such a brilliant record in hand, the employees of Summit Film and Television generally hold their heads high when they go out.

Therefore, for Xu Nan to personally invite an actor, Yu Fei felt a little uncomfortable and felt that he had lost his role.

The process of things is very simple.

Xu Nanxin's film "The Beginning" has entered the casting process.

This time, Xu Nan intends to seriously make a good movie, even if it is not a classic, at least it must be an excellent movie.

So the choice of characters is extremely important to this movie.

Some movies may be of average quality, but relying on the actors' classic performances, they have become classics in film history.

Some movies may have good scripts and directors, but because of the wrong actors, they end up becoming a pile of garbage.

There are so many lessons learned from the past, so Xu Nan is extra cautious in casting roles this time, not daring to be as perfunctory as before.

The plot of "The Beginning" is very simple. It tells the story of Li Shiqing, a college student, and Xiao Heyun, a game architect, who accidentally encountered a bus explosion and came back from the dead, returning to the moment when they were riding the bus.

The two went through the time loop during the time of the bus accident. In order to break the time loop and save a whole bus of people who died due to the explosion, the two tried their best to save themselves. story.

Among them, Li Shiqing, a college student, is the heroine of this movie, and it can even be said to be the well-deserved core.

In a sense, "The Beginning" can even be called a major heroine movie.

Therefore, the choice of the heroine is very important to this movie. If the heroine is chosen correctly, the movie will be half successful.

Li Shiqing, the heroine of "The Beginning", is a college student, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, with a weak appearance and a strong heart.

In the face of the terrible bus explosion, she did not choose to escape and shrink back, but bravely tried to find the truth, even if she encountered setbacks again and again in the process, she never thought of shrinking.

It is not easy to express Li Shiqing's characteristics of being soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The key lies in the soft appearance.

The weak appearance can make the audience pity the heroine from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, when the heroine makes a brave move to save the whole car, the audience will admire her courage and admiration.

A famous director once said that when choosing an actor for a movie, the actor’s face is the key to choosing the actor’s face. As long as the face is right, the acting skills are not important.

Xu Nan also thinks so, as long as the actor's own characteristics fit the role, it is actually acceptable to have poor acting skills, because the lower limit is guaranteed.

It's a big deal, you can grind it a few more times, and you can always shoot well.

But if the actor doesn't fit the role, no matter how hard he tries to perform, it will be a disaster in the end, because the audience will not believe it instinctively.

It's as if you let a character with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes play a decent character, no matter how you look at it, it's awkward.

Xu Nan searched through the profiles of famous and surnamed actors in the entertainment industry, and found that the person who best suited his role as an actress was Zhang Qingqing, an actor from Morningstar Entertainment.

For this reason, he specifically watched all the film and television dramas played by Zhang Qingqing, and confirmed that this is the actor he wanted.

Although it is not 70.00% consistent with the character, but there is a [-]% fit, which is already very good.In addition, there is no one in the entertainment industry who is more suitable for this role than her.

Zhang Qingqing made her debut as a child star and worked with big directors when she was very young. Later, her development in the entertainment industry went smoothly. She starred in many film and television dramas and became a first-line star at a young age.

For such a well-known star, the quotation must be expensive, but considering the quality of the film, Xu Nan still sent her an audition invitation and invited her to come and audition.

But an embarrassing thing happened. Zhang Qingqing actually rejected Xu Nan's audition invitation. Even if he asked Liu Yang to call for the second time, Zhang Qingqing's agent still politely refused.

This is speechless.

This was the first time Xu Nan encountered such a thing.

Anyway, he is also a big director. With his fame and status in the circle, the heroine of the new movie is the top pie in the circle. It is really rare to be rejected when an audition invitation is sent out.

But considering the fit between Zhang Qingqing and the role, Xu Nan finally decided to personally come to persuade Zhang Qingqing to play the role. For this reason, he even brought the script.

Even if Zhang Qingqing was offered a high price, he would accept it.

at the same time.

Inside an office of Morningstar Entertainment.

"How did you do it? You don't even pour me a glass of water. You want to die of thirst."

The actor Zhang Qingqing, who Xu Nan personally came to invite, was throwing a tantrum at his assistant. His fierce expression did not match the softness and cuteness shown by the outside world at all.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." A little girl next to her apologized again and again: "I was negligent, I'll go and pour you some water."

Zhang Qingqing's expression changed: "Not yet."

The little girl hurried out of the office, and quickly brought Zhang Qingqing a glass of water in a disposable drinking cup.

Zhang Qingqing scolded: "Why use this disposable cup, don't you know that I have a special cup for drinking water?"

The little girl's face turned pale: "I'm sorry, I was too anxious and didn't pay attention, I will change it now."

Soon, the little girl found a special cup, filled it with water and handed it to Zhang Qingqing.

Zhang Qingqing just took a sip, put it heavily on the table, and cursed.

"Why is it so cold, you don't know that I can't drink cold water these days."

The little girl showed a flattering smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention, I'll change it right away."

After speaking, she took the cup, ran out of the room to fill a cup of hot water, and handed it to Zhang Qingqing in a fawning manner.

Zhang Qingqing took it, his expression changed, he splashed it directly on the little girl, and screamed: "It's so hot, you want to burn me to death."

The little girl's face changed, and she instinctively avoided it, but she was still splashed with hot water on her face. Fortunately, the water was not boiling water, but hot water, but even so, her face was still red.

Zhang Qingqing was not at all embarrassed, and continued to curse: "I can't do such a simple thing well, I'm clumsy, can I still do it, if I can't do it, get lost."

Misty mist appeared in the little girl's big eyes, and she stood there aggrieved, almost crying.

At this moment, Zhang Qingqing's manager walked into the room, seeing this scene, his expression turned cold.

"Xiao Li, what's going on, Qingqing is angry again, why don't you hurry up and apologize."

The little girl bowed to Zhang Qingqing, and said humbly: "I'm sorry, Miss Qingqing, it's my fault, don't be angry."

Zhang Qingqing rolled his eyes, didn't speak, and turned his head away, revealing the word disgust from his demeanor to his expression.

The little girl looked at the manager helplessly, not knowing what to do.

The manager frowned: "Continue to pour water, pour a few more glasses, both hot and cold."

"Such a simple thing, do you still need me to teach you?"

The little girl suddenly realized, and hurried out with the cup.

After the assistant left, the agent said to Zhang Qingqing: "Qingqing, pay attention to your image, director Xu Nan is here, come with me to see him."
