This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 492
Liu Yang acted very quickly. After getting Xu Nan's approval, he immediately contacted Liu Yifei's agent and told him that Xu Nan's new movie intended to have Liu Yifei play the leading role.

The other party's reply was very enthusiastic, and said that they would spare time to rush to Summit Film and Television as soon as possible.

Liu Yang was not surprised by this.

No one in the entertainment industry knows Mr. Xu's name.

Mr. Xu's new movie is the top resource in the entertainment industry, the biggest and most delicious cake.

Any star in the circle will take the opportunity to participate in Xu Nanxin's new film seriously.

If you don't understand this, you can refer to Little Yellow Duck, an ordinary high school student who soon became a first-line female star in the circle just because she participated in the movie of the National Teacher.

Xu Nan's status at the moment is so exaggerated in the circle.

Liu Yang was looking forward to it, looking forward to seeing the picture of Concubine Liu Yi.

More than ten years ago, Concubine Liu became the hottest star in the circle by virtue of her role as Ling'er in "The Legend of Sword and Heroes". That sweet smile and fairy-like figure will always be engraved in the hearts of many people. .

At that time, Liu Yang was still a young man who had just debuted, extremely young, watching the perfect beauty on TV, dreaming that one day he would be able to cooperate with his idol.

It's just that at that time, he knew clearly that his dream was actually a delusion. Concubine Liu Yi was a fairy in the sky, while he was just an ordinary person, and there was almost no intersection between the two.

Fast forward more than ten years, he became the second in command of a top entertainment company, and finally had the chance to realize his dream.

Thinking of meeting his idol in a short time, Liu Yang, who has been hard-pressed for more than ten years, is extremely excited, like a young man in love.

Even the employees of Pinnacle Films have noticed that Mr. Liu of the company has been suffering from snake spirit disease for the past few days.

Moreover, Mr. Liu started to dress up, with hairspray on his hair, and custom-made clothes, with his head held high every day, like an elite model of a successful person.

In Liu Yang's extreme anticipation.

Three days later, Concubine Liu Yi arrived at Summit Film and Television.

To be more precise, it was Concubine Liu's manager who came to Summit Films.

According to Liu Yifei's agent, because Miss Liu Yifei has just finished filming a movie, she is not feeling well, so she needs to rest at home.

The matter of cooperation can only be discussed by the agent.

Liu Yang was extremely disappointed.

This time, I couldn't meet my idol.

But soon he cheered up, it doesn't matter if he can't see his idol now, after the filming starts, he will definitely be able to see him.

Xu Nan also felt a little uncomfortable.

Anyway, he is also the top director in the industry, not to mention the number one in China, at least the top three, but you actually asked your agent to talk.

Sincerity is also too low.

You know, both Mimi and Shi Shi came to talk on their own initiative, and for this reason they also lowered their salary.

Although you, Concubine Liu Yi, are barely still in the coffee position, one movie after another hits the street, and you have the title of poison at the box office, and you are still so big.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei's agent, Liu Lili, had a good attitude after meeting her, which finally made Xu Nan feel a little better.

Liu Lili's attitude was very polite: "I would like to thank Director Xu Nan for reminding us of our family's concubine. It is an honor for our concubine to be able to act in a movie directed by Xu Nan."

Xu Nan nodded.

This attitude is not bad.

Liu Lili whispered: "It's just that our concubine wants to know what kind of movie "Mother of Lightning" is, so that she can decide whether to act or not."

Xu Nan revealed the setting of the movie: ""Electric Mother" is a superhero movie, similar to "Spiderman" and "Glaring Man". This movie belongs to the same world view as the two movies that have already been released. At the same time, it is also a movie with a big heroine that is rare in the industry."

Xu Nan deliberately mentioned the last two movies, just to hint that "Mother of Lightning" will continue the glory of the last two movies.

I believe that no star in the circle can refuse such a movie.

You know, both Mimi and Shi Shike were promoted through movies, so I believe Concubine Liu Yi can't refuse this big cake.

Liu Lili asked, "Is there a script?"

Xu Nan shook his head: "Sorry, no, because the movie hasn't been approved yet, so the script hasn't been written yet."

"However, the plot of "Electric Mother" takes over the films of "Captain China", "Spiderman" and "Glaring Man". It belongs to the same worldview as them, so there is a high probability that it will explode."

"If there is no script." Liu Lili frowned, seeming a little embarrassed.

Xu Nan felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show much, waiting for the other party to make his own decision.

There is indeed a problem without a script, but this kind of thing is very common in the industry. Many big directors start raising movies with an idea.

There are several successful films before, and Xu Nan believes that Liu Lili will make a wise choice.

"If there is no script, I'm afraid our concubine will have objections."

"Director Xu, you may not know, because the results of several films in a row have been unsatisfactory, so now Feifei attaches great importance to the script of the film. If she can't even read the script, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to agree to act."

"So?" Xu Nan was expressionless.

In fact, he was already a little angry at this moment.

With his status in the circle, invite a female star to star in a movie?

And also an actress who already has a box office poison title.

Still pick and choose.

Are you taking yourself too seriously?

Liu Lili didn't notice Xu Nan's anger, so she said to herself: "I heard that Mr. Xu has achieved very good results in the United States, and our concubine has always wanted to go to Hollywood to develop, but there is no way. If Xu guides you Promise, help our concubine make an American movie, I think our concubine will definitely agree to appear in the movie "Mother of Lightning"."

Xu Nan smiled, "So, if I don't help Ms. Liu Yifei make American movies, she won't act, right?"

"Uh..." Liu Lili seemed to have sensed something, and replied cautiously: "This can only be decided after going back and discussing."

Xu Nan laughed angrily: "You can't make a decision as an agent, why come here and talk to me?"

"Okay, after careful consideration, I feel that Miss Liu Yifei's image is not suitable for my new movie, so let's forget about it."

"Liu Yang, see off the guests."

"Alright Mr. Xu." Liu Yang stood up immediately.

He walked in front of Liu Lili and said politely but without doubt: "Miss Liu, please."

Liu Lili was dumbfounded.

It wasn't until this time that she realized that Xu Nan was not the kind of object she could bargain with, let alone the kind of humble ordinary little director.

As a great director, Xu Nan is self-willed.

To put it bluntly, Xu Nan is in charge of everything, and she is not qualified to negotiate terms.

"that."

Liu Lili wanted to say something, but at this moment Xu Nan didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Damn what level are you, how dare I negotiate terms with me.

Give you a face, right?

When Liu Yang sent Liu Lili away and returned to the office to meet.

Xu Nan asked dissatisfiedly: "Liu Yang, you see who you recommend. It's fine to find an agent to come over and talk to me. You still want to negotiate terms with me. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Liu Yang didn't know how to defend himself.

Mainly because he didn't expect such an outrageous thing to happen.

The top domestic director invites an ordinary female star to star in a movie, but the other party not only refuses to accept it readily, but picks and chooses, and wants to negotiate terms.

Novels can't be written like that.

In fact, Liu Yifei didn't show up to let her agent negotiate the contract, which was not a problem.

Many stars in the circle are like this, they don't come out to interview and cooperate, and they directly hand it over to their agents.

Even some relatively powerful agents occupy a dominant position in the cooperation with stars, and stars are in turn manipulated by their agents, and the acting decisions are all decided by the agents.

After all, not all celebrities are good at interpersonal communication and business negotiations. Many celebrities have nothing but a face. In this case, they can only be handed over to the agent.

But the problem is, this manager's whimsical attempt to negotiate terms with Mr. Xu is outrageous.

As an ordinary director, you have no problem negotiating conditions as a first-line star, but this is a top director who has created domestic box office records, the top existence in the circle, what qualifications do you have to negotiate conditions.

Until now, Liu Yang has not figured out what Concubine Liu Yifei and her manager are thinking, and where did they get the courage.

It's okay to have a clear brain circuit.

No wonder such a good start has gotten worse and worse over the years.

The truth is too unclear.

"Mr. Xu, it's my problem. I didn't expect this to happen." Liu Yang apologized decisively.

As an old employee of the company, the minister of humerus who walked out of the company's predicament with Xu Nan, he was not worried about what Xu Nan would do to him.

Sure enough, Xu Nan didn't intend to pursue it, and shook his head: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with you."

"If you don't get in touch, you won't know that the other party is so unreliable."

"The key to the problem now lies in the casting of "Dianmu"."

"You're right. Although "Electric Mother" won't be filmed until next year, considering the star's schedule and promotional factors, the cast can be cast now."

"My idea is to publicize the cast selection to the entire entertainment industry and tell everyone that there is a vacancy for the lead role in "Mother of Lightning", waiting for them to compete."

Liu Yang nodded: "It's a very good decision. On the one hand, it can take advantage of the popularity of "Glaster" to stimulate the female stars in the circle. On the other hand, it can also take the opportunity to promote a wave of publicity and let the audience have an impression of this movie. "

Xu Nan added: "Another point is that the most suitable actors can be selected by expanding the sample."

"I'll leave this matter to you."

"No problem, Liu Yang?"

Liu Yang was shocked and assured: "It's absolutely fine."
