This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 458

"Are you interested in becoming an actor?" Xu Nan asked directly.

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

Xu Nan didn't expect to meet an actor who was so suitable to play Li Shiqing here.

The first time he saw this little girl, Xu Nan decided that Li Shiqing must be her.

Because this person's temperament and appearance are really suitable for Li Shiqing, with a weak temperament, innocent eyes, and a quiet face.

This is simply the resurrection of Li Shiqing.

"Huh?" The little girl was confused.

The agent was also confused.

Zhang Qingqing was also confused.

This turn was so fast that they didn't react for a long time.

A small assistant was invited to be an actor just after being splashed with water by a big director. What kind of outrageous setting is this?
TV shows can't do that.

But it happened in reality.

"Hello, I'm director Xu Nan, and I'm casting for my new movie. I think you are very suitable to be the heroine of this movie. Would you like to?"

Xu Nan asked again.

"No."

Before the little girl could speak, Zhang Qingqing refused.

Xu Nan frowned: "Why not?"

Zhang Qingqing quickly said: "She is my assistant, how can she be an actress, she has never studied acting, why should she play the leading role as soon as she comes up."

In fact, Zhang Qingqing was very jealous.

Although she rejected Xu Nan's invitation, she knew exactly how big Xu Nan's new movie was in the industry.

To put it bluntly, Xu Nan really has the ability to flatter people.

Lin Hongxiu, Zhao Xiaolan, Zhang Ying, Mimi, which one is not a living example.

Thinking of allowing her humble assistant to turn into a star on an equal footing with her, Zhang Qingqing felt very upset.

The agent also said: "Director Xu Nan, I'm not questioning your decision. I just want to say that this assistant has never studied acting, and she is also clumsy in doing things. You saw it just now, and she can drop water on the ground." , She is really not suitable for acting, she doesn't have that talent."

Relatively speaking, the manager's words were much more tactful, as if he was thinking for Xu Nan inside and out, which was much nicer than Zhang Qingqing's.

Xu Nan shook his head: "Who to choose as the protagonist of the movie, I think I know better than you as a director."

"Little girl, you don't have to worry about anything else, just tell me if you want to act, and if you want to be a star."

The little girl nodded immediately: "Of course."

She is not an idiot, she understands what Xu Nan's words mean to her.

No one is willing to be called around every day.

She was so humble before, just because she had no choice, now there is an opportunity to change her destiny, she certainly will not give up.

One is to continue to be a lowly assistant who gets angry every day, and the other is to become a glamorous big star. Even a fool knows how to choose.

Xu Nan smiled: "Okay, it's up to you."

"By the way, what's your name?"

Xu Nan suddenly realized that he didn't know the little girl's name yet.

It's a bit abrupt to invite someone to be an actor without even knowing their name, and it will definitely make many people speechless if it spreads.

The little girl said earnestly: "My name is Li Ruoshui, Li from Muzi Li, and Ruoshui who is as good as water."

Xu Nan nodded: "Li Ruoshui, what a good name."

Li Ruoshui and Li Shiqing happen to both have the surname Li, this is fate.

The more Xu Nan looked at Li Ruoshui, the more satisfied he felt, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

"Let's go, let's sign the contract first, and when the time comes, we will start filming."

With that said, Xu Nan was about to take Li Ruoshui back to sign the contract.

"Stop." Zhang Qingqing was in a hurry: "She is my assistant, and she can't leave without my permission."

Xu Nan frowned.

Li Ruoshui looked at Zhang Qingqing angrily.

This woman is really bad. Seeing how good her external image is, I thought it must be very comfortable to be an assistant, but I didn't expect to be tortured every day after I came here.

Now there is a better opportunity for development, and she is still blocked.

The manager quickly patted Zhang Qingqing, and then forced a smile.

"Qingqing means that at least we have worked together, so it's too rude to just leave, and it's the same to leave after a meal."

"No"

Zhang Qingqing opened his mouth to say something, but the manager quickly pinched her and cut off her words.

From the manager's point of view, Zhang Qingqing's attempt to prevent the assistant from leaving is stupid. He is only your assistant, not your slave, so why should you stop him.

To put it bluntly, it is a job, and people can quit whenever they want.

Instead of trying to be a bad person to stop it meaninglessly, it's better to get together and get together and form a good relationship.

It's a pity that Zhang Qingqing grew up in the entertainment circle, and was spoiled in the big dye vat. He was so arrogant and indulgent that he never thought of this.

Xu Nan shook his head: "You don't need to eat, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, Xu Nan took Li Ruoshui away directly.

"Damn it." Zhang Qing gritted his teeth angrily.

The manager frowned: "Qingqing, you are getting more and more irritable now, this is not good, if your fans see it, things will be troublesome."

"I know you don't want to see this assistant become popular, but you can't make it so obvious. She is your assistant. If the people around you hate you, do you know how much trouble it will be?"

Zhang Qingqing was still in awe of the manager, reluctantly said: "I see."

The agent smiled: "You are too worried. Although Xu Nan is famous, he got it by making bad movies and spoof movies. This time he wants to switch to making high-quality movies. It is not certain whether he will be successful or not." Well, maybe it will hit the street."

Zhang Qingqing was much happier now, and echoed: "Yes, it will definitely hit the street. How can a good movie be so easy to shoot? Even great directors sometimes fail, let alone Xu Nan."

"He even chose an amateur as an actor, so unreliable, he will definitely fail."

With Li Ruoshui, Xu Nan left Morning Star Entertainment.

Downstairs, Yu Fei is waiting for him in the car.

Seeing Xu Nan come back with an amateur, Yu Fei was shocked. When he learned that this was Xu Nan's choice for a movie heroine, his eyes almost popped out.

Back at the company, Yu Fei asked while Li Ruoshui was away.

"President Xu, are you sure you want to choose her?"

Although he was not very satisfied with Zhang Qingqing's attitude, no matter in terms of fame, image, or popularity, Zhang Qingqing was a good choice.

But this amateur named Li Ruoshui, why?

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, I have already made up my mind, and I will choose her as the heroine of our movie."

Yu Fei whispered: "But she is an amateur."

Xu Nan said in a deep voice, "I know."

In fact, Xu Nan is very aware of Yu Fei's concerns.

Why do many film and television dramas have to choose famous actors when they are filming? Isn't it said that the content is the most important?
That's because the actors have their own fans. Many times, when the audience watches a movie, the first thing they pay attention to is the lineup of the movie. A movie starring a well-known actor and another movie starring an unknown actor. The former is definitely more attractive than the latter. audience.

This is also the fundamental reason why film and television companies invite stars.

Li Ruoshui is indeed more suitable for the role of Li Shiqing in "The Beginning" than Zhang Qingqing, but the audience doesn't know.

They only know Zhang Qingqing, as for Li Ruoshui, who is that?
But after careful consideration, Xu Nan finally decided to choose Li Ruoshui.

Regardless, movie quality is what matters.

Li Ruoshui is the most suitable candidate for Li Shiqing. With her joining, the quality of the film will definitely be improved.

If an amateur actor is chosen, the reputation of the film will definitely be affected to a certain extent, but it is not a big problem for Xu Nan.

Because he is a famous director.

Ordinary directors choose an amateur who is not well-known, which is almost tantamount to courting death.

However, if a famous director chooses an amateur, it will arouse the curiosity of the audience and the media.

For example, our director Zhang chose an amateur in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", which immediately made Zhou Pingping a second-tier star, and our director Zhou, after "The Mermaid" chose Ms. Lin, quickly made her a hot star. .

A great director has such self-willed confidence.

And Xu Nan is a big director. Choosing an amateur actor will indeed bring about certain adverse effects, but he has the confidence to bear it.

Now that Xu Nan had made up his mind, the people in the company had nothing to say and agreed to let Li Ruoshui play Li Shiqing.

Since this girl is a pure amateur, the price was very cheap when she signed the contract, which can almost be said to be scrap price.

For this, Li Ruoshui would like to thank Xu Nan with great gratitude for giving her this opportunity.

In order to prevent the filming of the crew from being affected, Xu Nan also specially helped Li Ruoshui find an acting teacher for emergency training.

Finding Li Shiqing's actor doesn't mean Xu Nan can relax.

But "The Beginning" still has many important characters, such as Xiao Heyun, the game architect who experienced reincarnation with Li Shiqing, the bus driver, and Aunt Guo with explosives, etc.

After careful consideration, Xu Nan gave the role of Xiao Heyun to Zhang Wei, the actor who has played the role of the leading actor in the top film and television countless times.

This brother has no acting skills, it's just that he was unlucky, and he acted in a lot of film and television dramas that were not lukewarm.

Considering that everyone has collaborated many times before and the image is more suitable, Xu Nan simply gave him the role of Xiao Heyun.

The driver, Auntie Guo with the bomb, and the rest of the characters, Xu Nan conducted an open casting process. After careful selection, they all selected suitable actors, both in terms of image and acting skills. A sort of.

Time passed quickly in the tense film preparations. Summit Film and Television is a mature film and television production company with rich experience.

Xu Nan himself is also a veteran, and minor problems such as venue props were quickly resolved.

In late April, after the film's preliminary preparations were completed, Xu Nan started filming immediately without any delay.

"beginning".

Officially set sail.
