This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 469 No one will invest in Xu Nan

After negotiating the conditions and signing the agreement of intent, Liu Shishi left.

Last year, the two made a verbal agreement to let Liu Shishi act in a movie, but it didn't really count. Now that they have signed the agreement of intent, this matter is completely settled.

The reason is simple. If you go back on your word after signing the contract, you need to pay liquidated damages.

Liu Yang felt a bit at a loss: "Mr. Xu, I don't think it's necessary to choose her. Liu Shishi's acting skills are very average."

Xu Nan nodded: "I know her acting skills are average, but there's nothing I can do about it. There are only a few Dahuas in the industry who are qualified to be the leading role. Who else can I choose if I don't choose her?"

Not everyone can act in movies. Sometimes amateurs can be used, but amateurs are not as easy to use as stars, especially first-line stars, who have their own fans. Many times, audiences don’t care about the quality of the movie. Go to the movies.

The most obvious example in this regard is "The Great Wall", which just broke one billion at the box office. Although this movie was ridiculed out of the sky, many people still choose to watch this movie. star.

It is even more exaggerated, because there are several traffic stars in it, so a group of fans took the initiative to book tickets to buy tickets for their brother. According to statistics, the movie "The Great Wall" brought about the same box office because it invited several traffic stars. There are tens of millions.

In the era of traffic, although everyone says it's not good, but in front of the box office, who can bear it.

There are only a few big flowers in the circle who can resist the box office. Liu Shishi is already a good choice. Her fan cubs are also famous for their fighting power, and they can add tens of millions to the box office with a guarantee. Who can choose her?

Liu Yang pondered for a while, and it seemed to be the same reason.

There are indeed not many stars that can be selected for top-level productions.

Director Xu can indeed choose an amateur, but why choose an amateur when he can choose a big flower.

Liu Yang changed the subject and asked again: "So Mr. Xu, are we really going to make a big production this time?"

Xu Nan nodded: "That's right, the initial cost is about [-] million yuan, to create the first superhero blockbuster with special effects in China."

Liu Yang exclaimed: "This is really a big deal, and it can be ranked among the top ten domestic films."

"But I have a question."

"Say."

"Are we going to pay all the money?"

Xu Nan shook his head: "No, the company only pays [-] million yuan, and the rest will be settled through investment."

It's not like Xu Nan couldn't afford [-] million, but the problem is that the risk is too great.

Although he has great confidence that the movie will be a success, what if it fails.

Therefore, it is better to attract investment. It is good to make a profit, but you will not lose too much if you lose, and you can find a way to pass on the risk.

Hollywood does this all the time, find someone to invest, others lose money, but they make money.

Xu Nan is not so unscrupulous, but it is still necessary to spread the risk.

Liu Yang pondered for a while: "There should be no problem in attracting investment. With your reputation, Mr. Xu, you can get one billion yuan, but you must have the leading right of the project."

Xu Nan nodded immediately: "For sure, the prerequisite for investment is not to intervene in the filming of the crew, otherwise, their investment will not be required."

Summit Film and Television is Xu Nan's word of mouth, and the things he decides can be carried out smoothly.

Preparations for a new film have begun.

This is a big production, and it is currently the largest film produced by Summit Film and Television. It is also a challenge for the company, and there are many complicated tasks that need to be prepared in advance.

This is not a copycat movie, where you can shoot it with just your head, it is a top-notch large-scale production, and every link must be done to the best.

Whenever there is a problem in one link, it may affect the quality of the movie.

As for how complicated the preparations for the movie are, let's just say that the preliminary preparations alone will take half a year to complete.

This is the top big production.

Xu Nan estimated that even if he made a movie faster, it would take at least a year from project approval to release.

That's how complicated it is to make a good movie.

Otherwise, why would someone say film is a heavy industry.

A small production with a small cost may be very casual, but a large production is really troublesome.

However, this is also a process that Summit Films must go through. If you want to make the superhero movie universe take shape, and if you want Summit Films to become a big company in the industry, you must pass this hurdle.

Just when Xu Nan was preparing for the new movie, Liu Shishi suddenly announced that she would take part in Xu Nan's next movie and play the leading role.

As soon as this news came out, the entertainment circle was quickly detonated.

You know, "The Beginning" hasn't been released yet, Xu Nan is very popular in the circle, not to mention the best director in China, at least he is also one of the top three directors.

The protagonist of his new movie is the top cake in the industry.

As soon as the news came out, Liu Shishi's fan cubs cheered happily.

"awesome."

"I knew Shi Shi was the best."

"Xu Nan's movies, this is the top resource in the industry."

"I don't think anyone would dare to say that our Shi Shi's acting skills are poor. If she is poor in acting, she can be selected by Xu Nan."

"Great, Shi Shi is about to ascend."

"Xu Nan really has discernment, and he picked our sister Shi Shi right away."

"After Shi Shi, he will be a noble movie cafe."

Shi Shi's fan Xiaoshi is very happy, just like the Chinese New Year, to be precise, even happier than the Chinese New Year.

The star himself may be decadent once in a while, but the star's fans are full of blood all the time, caring more about the star's career than the star himself.

Sometimes when a celebrity shows off a little bit and is lazy, the fans of the celebrity may not be able to bear it before passers-by say anything.

Therefore, fans of celebrities are the ones who care most about their careers.

Liu Shishi is a first-line star in the circle, a top-ranking female star.

Usually, the little lions are also honored, and they have always been proud of this matter.

But the problem is, precisely because Liu Shishi is top class, it is very difficult for her to continue to go up.

In terms of popularity, Liu Shishi is definitely not inferior to anyone, even stronger than those small fresh meat.

It has only been a few years since the small fresh meat of traffic appeared, and most of the fans are still underage. Liu Shishi is different. She has been popular for a long time, and she spreads across all age groups.

It is also because Liu Shi has been on fire for too long, which means that there is no shortage of lower-level resources, but the top-level resources have not been received.

The capital is very realistic. Liu Shishi has proven herself in TV dramas, but she has not proved herself in movies, so no one asks her to act in movies.

Of course, if Liu Shi Shi insisted on acting in a movie, she would still be able to receive the script, but the problem was that she was the front line, so she had to be cautious when accepting the script, it was better not to accept a movie with too low a style.

In the past few years, the little lions watched Liu Shishi twirling in the TV series, twirling, and twirling again, but they were dying of anxiety even if they couldn't get a good movie.

Compare that to Mimi, who is almost the same as Shi Shi next door, but who has risen to the top with the help of Xu Nan's movie, is going crazy.

Now that Liu Shishi received Xu Nan's movie, which was still the heroine, all the little lions went berserk, and they wanted to let the whole world know.

As a result, the news spread all over the Internet in a very short time.

Liu Shishi's fans let everyone know that their idol has received Xu Nan's movie in the shortest possible time.

The media also joined in the excitement at the right time.

"Liu Shi Shi participated in the movie. "

"Reveal that Xu Nan and Liu Shishi will reach a cooperation. "

"Xu Nan spent one billion to create a big domestic movie, and Liu Shishi joined in with all his heart. "

"The story that Liu Shishi and Xu Nan have to tell. "

"Blind Sister and Blind Brother. "

The circle also got news.

"Xu Nan's new movie is coming out?"

"Is there a mistake, so fast?"

"Xu Nan's filmmaking speed has always been very fast."

"In the past, Xu Nan made movies quickly because the quality was not high. Now that he wants to make good movies, he can't be as nonsense as before."

Yes, in the past, Xu Nan's copycat and spoof films were considered nonsense in the eyes of many conservative people.

That is to say, Xu Nan filmed "The Beginning" to cleanse himself, otherwise some people would speak even worse.

There is no secret in the circle that can be concealed, especially such a big event as Xu Nan is going to make a new movie.

Soon, people in the circle learned more news.

"Xu Nan is going to make a superhero movie this time, and the cost is very high."

"How high is high."

"It is still in preparation, and the estimated cost is about [-] million."

"hiss"

"It's such a big game, 90.00% of the movie box office is less than [-] million."

"Xu Nan has gone to Hollywood all the time, and his money is getting bigger and bigger every time. He dares to make a movie worth [-] million yuan."

"I wonder if Xu Nan can afford so much money."

"The money is definitely available. Don't forget how high the box office of Xu Nan's films in the past was, but I got the news that this film will only be partly funded by Pinnacle Film and Television, and the remaining funds will need to be invested."

"Can we get investment? So much money is not a small amount. Many directors are not talented, but they just can't find anyone to invest money in making movies."

"Indeed, it is very difficult to find investment. Sometimes, even some big directors can't find film investment."

"Big directors are good, at least they can talk to film and television companies on an equal footing. Small directors are really miserable. In front of film and television companies and financial backers, they are even worse than pugs."

"Many directors are actually very talented, but they just can't find anyone to invest in, resulting in their talents being buried."

"Like a truck driver."

"It also has something to do with the theme. Some themes are obviously very risky, and capital will definitely not invest."

"What type of Xu Nan's new movie is it?"

"A superhero movie, and it's a blockbuster special effects movie."

"Oh shit."

"Fuck."

"The buff is full."

"There has never been a successful precedent for superhero movies in China. As for blockbuster special effects movies, the dead body of "The Great Wall" is still hot."

"It is estimated that no one would dare to invest in this movie. Firstly, the cost is too high. Secondly, there is no precedent for success. Thirdly, the leading actor Liu Shishi does not carry the box office."

"Xu Nan's movie may die prematurely, and even if it does not die prematurely, it will probably shrink."

There was a pessimistic voice in the circle.
