This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 494

Liu Yifei's manager, Liu Lili, was also in a hurry.

"Concubine, you can't be willful anymore, you must contact Liu Yang immediately, otherwise the role of Mother Dian will be snatched away."

Concubine Liu Yi was very annoyed: "Didn't Zenith Film and Television invite me first, I haven't replied yet, how could they choose someone else?"

Liu Lili laughed angrily: "My little ancestor, don't talk about this, okay, if you don't apologize to Xu Nan, we won't even have the chance to enter the casting."

Speaking of business, Concubine Liu Yi still hesitated: "I have to apologize. Is it okay not to apologize? If I apologize, then the role of Dianmu will be mine."

Liu Lili was almost speechless.

"Dianmu is the top pie in the industry, and all the qualified female stars in the entertainment industry are watching. Originally, this resource was indeed ours, but who told you to put forward conditions at that time."

"Times have changed, and the situation has changed. Now if you apologize, you still have a chance to become the actor of Dianmu, but if you don't apologize, you really have no chance at all."

"Must I apologize?" Liu Yifei was still hesitating.

Liu Lili said decisively, "I must apologize."

"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded dejectedly.

In fact, there are no real fools who can be in the entertainment industry. The main reason is that Liu Yang's attitude was too smug and confused him, and Liu Yifei has always been smooth sailing, which led to a misjudgment of the situation.

Now that a big stick is coming, Concubine Liu Yi is actually awake, knowing that she is not qualified to negotiate terms, if she doesn't bow her head, she might not even have the chance to lick the cake.

There is no one in the entertainment industry who does not eat the fireworks of the world. Even if they were originally, under the fierce competition in the entertainment industry, they can only join forces.

The current situation was not right, and Concubine Liu Yi couldn't keep her composure anymore, so she decisively called Liu Yang.

It's not that I don't want to call Xu Nan's number, but that Xu Nan's number can't be reached. Even if I can get it, the effect of calling without contacting in advance may not be good.

Liu Yang is different, he is the person in charge of casting, and he is also her fan, as long as she says a few nice words, she will definitely sell her face.

"Hello, who are you?" Liu Yang's voice came from the phone.

In fact, he knew who was calling, and he asked this question on purpose.

Concubine Liu Yi didn't care about anything else, and said directly: "Hi, Director Liu, I'm Concubine Liu, we talked on the phone before."

"Oh, Miss Liu, what's the matter?" Liu Yang pretended to just remember.

Concubine Liu Yi said: "That's right, what happened last time was my fault, please forgive me."

"Hey, this matter." Liu Yang smiled: "It's like this in the circle, it's fine if the conditions are not agreed, and we can cooperate next time if we have a chance."

"No need for next time." Concubine Liu Yi said anxiously, "We can cooperate this time."

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Liu Yang looked confused.

Concubine Liu Yi didn't bother to play charades anymore, and said directly: "I am willing to play the role of Mother of Lightning, and the salary can be reduced."

"I'm afraid that won't work. Mr. Xu has no plans to go to the United States to make a movie." Liu Yang directly refused.

Concubine Liu Yi: "There's no need for this, there's no need for Mr. Xu to promise me anything, as long as I'm allowed to play the role of Dian Mu."

Liu Yang smiled: "That's not okay, we've already said that the casting will be made public, and there are so many female stars in the entertainment industry waiting, so we can't break our word, or it won't sound good if it spreads."

Liu Yifei was dumbfounded: "Then what should I do?"

Liu Yang chuckled: "Miss Liu can participate in the public casting, as long as it fits the role, I believe Xu will consider it."

"what?"

Concubine Liu Yi couldn't hold back anymore.

Want to participate in an open casting call and compete with other female stars?
How can this be?
She was the first to be invited for the role of Mother of Lightning, so how could she suddenly be reduced to competing with others.

"That." Liu Yifei said softly: "You can't just choose me, Mr. Liu, didn't you say before that the role of Dianmu belongs to me?"

"Hehe." Liu Yang smiled: "Did I say that, I don't quite remember."

"Miss Liu, let's just leave it at that, I have other things to do, so hang up first."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yang hung up the phone directly, leaving Concubine Liu Yi in a daze.

Heh, it was because I had a filter for you before that I was so polite to you, but now that there is no filter, what are you?

You were a fairy sister more than ten years ago, and now you are forty, and you are an aunt.

Really took myself seriously.

"He hung up on me."

Concubine Liu Yi still couldn't believe it.

Liu Lili asked anxiously: "What about the role, did Mother Dian get it?"

"He wants me to participate in the public casting, but he hasn't said that he will definitely give it to me." Concubine Liu Yi lost her mind.

Liu Lili sighed: "I can't help it. It's mainly due to the prerequisites. I offended Zenith Film and Television too much, so I just missed out on this role."

"Now that I want to play Dianmu, I can only participate in the public casting."

"Besides, Peak Film and Television's first choice was you. Even if you participate in the public casting, we have a great chance of winning."

"I really want to participate in the public casting." Concubine Liu Yi was anxious.

Manager Liu Lili was very tough: "We must go."

Liu Yang was busy with public casting, choosing actors suitable for Dianmu, while Xu Nan, as a director, sneaked away from his busy schedule and had a rare free time.

However, at this moment, Xu Nan's phone suddenly lit up.

Looking at the name, it turned out to be Lin Ziyi, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Could it be that he also came to intercede for some actor and wants to play the electric mother?

This was Xu Nan's first thought.

After picking up the phone, Lin Ziyi's first words made him stunned.

"I'm back home, I have time to meet up."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ziyi hung up the phone directly.

Then, a text message was sent with the address.

a park.

Xu Nan sat next to Lin Ziyi, and the two of them occupied the bench, one on the left and the other on the right. Looking from a distance, they felt like they were here for a blind date.

"It's better in China, it's full of fireworks, the key is freedom."

Lin Ziyi stretched out her arms and stretched her body, like a black cat stretching its waist, graceful and seductive.

"The country of America is also very good. You can experience the thrills of the battlefield every day." Xu Nan said slowly.

"Pfft." Lin Ziyi smiled, "Why don't you be poor, the originally good atmosphere has been ruined by you."

Xu Nan shook his head: "I'm not poor, I just want to tell you that I've been here for 5 minutes, please tell me if there is anything, I'm very busy, okay?"

"Cut, isn't it just the casting of "Mother of Lightning"? No one seems to know about it." Lin Ziyi rolled her eyes: "The casting will take at least a few days, so there is no rush."

"But that's no reason for you to waste my time."

"Okay, I won't play around with you." Lin Ziyi gave Xu Nan a white look: "I came to you just to ask you if you would like to start a business with me."

Xu Nan was stunned for a moment: "Just this matter?"

"Otherwise what do you think is going on?"

"Nothing." Xu Nan shook his head.

In fact, he thought that Lin Ziyi came to him to intercede for Lin Hongxiu for the casting of "Mother of Lightning".

But there is no need to say such things.

Lin Ziyi said directly: "In the United States, the two of us cooperated very happily. You know my ability, and I also understand your ability. It can be said that there is a very good basis for cooperation."

"Why don't you work for Shenhua Group?" Xu Nan asked.

Lin Ziyi's eyes darkened a little: "The old man indeed arranged for me a high-level position in the group. In fact, he asked me to go to the United States to take charge of the Emperor Cinemas. He also meant for me to experience some experience and then come back to take over."

"But I don't want to follow the path set by the old man. I want to make my own way."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Nan's answer, Lin Ziyi explained seriously.

"When you were in the United States, you should have seen my situation. At that time, I had just taken over the Emperor Cinemas, and the senior executives relied on their seniority and often tripped me up. It was very annoying."

"Later, it took me a lot of effort to get rid of them. Just fighting them wits and courage took me a lot of thought, and it took me a long time to control the theater."

"It's probably the same in China. In view of my father's face, the people in the company may be a little quieter, but that's only superficial respect. In their hearts, they still look down on me. They think that I can only rely on my father."

Xu Nan said slowly: "I believe that your talent, as long as you have enough time, will definitely be recognized by the employees of Shenhua Group."

"Yes, I can do it." Lin Ziyi nodded: "But the question is why do I have to be so tired."

"No matter how good the Shenhua Group is, it is the old man's country. I am young, why can't I build a country by myself."

"When I make a living outside, I want to see who else in the group dares to be weird."

"Clap clap clap."

Xu Nan applauded.

"Okay, ambitious."

"666."

"You." Lin Ziyi laughed angrily: "You're spoiling the atmosphere again, aren't you?"

"It's not to spoil the atmosphere." Xu Nan shook his head: "Everyone has dreams, and anyone can say big things. The key is to see if they can be realized."

"If you can succeed, you are right. If you cannot succeed, you are just a clown."

Lin Ziyi was very unconvinced, and seemed not to be hit at all.

Xu Nan didn't care about Lin Ziyi's thoughts, and asked directly: "Since you asked me to come out, then you must have an idea. Tell me, which line of work are you going to do?"

"The entertainment industry." Lin Ziyi said seriously: "To be precise, it is the streaming media industry."

"In the United States, I believe you should feel the power of the streaming media giant Netflix. Whether it is a theater chain or a film and television company, you must lower Netflix."

"The streaming media industry has huge potential, and it is just right for us to display it."

"At present, with the development of the mobile Internet, more and more people buy and own smart phones. This is a blue ocean that has not been fully tapped."

"The two of us, you have talent, I have connections, and if we join forces, we will definitely be able to make a difference."

"Nonsense." Xu Nan laughed angrily: "The blue sea is a hammer, this is clearly the Red Sea, and it's the kind of Red Sea where the fighting is extremely brutal."

"A few years ago, there were more than a dozen streaming media platforms in China, such as Penguin Video, Kiwi Fruit Video, Oil Depot Video, Moon Video, Storm Video, etc."

"Now that a few years have passed, only five or six streaming media platforms have survived, and a dozen have died. With so many tragic examples ahead, you dare to bump into it. It's really hard work."

"Long videos are already a dead sea. How about short videos? If you really want to do streaming, please forgive me?"
