This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 496
After the two discussed, they went back to prepare

Opening a new company is not just a matter of lip service. It also needs to go through formalities, get the office location, recruit employees, and a series of complicated tasks.

Fortunately, both of them are vigorous and action-oriented. After they decided to start a company together, there was no delay. They quickly settled a series of formalities and allocated funds.

After a little debate over the name of the company, it was determined to be called Mu Nan Video. Originally, Xu Nan wanted to be called Nan Mu, which would be more fluent, but Lin Ziyi refused to agree.

After the successful registration of the company, Lin Ziyi immediately acquired Baofeng Video and merged it into Munan Video.

It can be seen that Lin Ziyi really decided to enter this industry after careful consideration, weighing the pros and cons, and confirming that she has a chance to succeed, rather than acting recklessly after her head became hot.

This can be seen from the acquisition of Baofeng Video.

This is an old-fashioned streaming media platform. Although it has fallen behind in the fierce competition and is dying, it is not that simple to acquire it. It must have gone through a very complicated process.

But after the establishment of the company, it only took Lin Ziyi half a month to get it done.

Although it cost [-] million yuan to acquire Baofeng Video, it was all worth it.

Because the previous Munan Video, although it was established in name, is actually just an empty shell, and there is no TV series or variety show on it.

Such a video platform is meaningless to the audience.

But it’s different after being merged into Storm Video. Although this video platform is dying, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the content on it is still very rich. The variety shows of movies, TV dramas are very complete, and many of the content are exclusive.

At the same time, this video platform has many members, and its history is relatively long among other video platforms.

After Munan Video merged with Storm Video, it immediately made up for its shortcomings and gained a firm foothold in the industry.

At the same time, the news also caused a storm in the industry.

"Storm Video was acquired."

"Who?"

"Xu Nan."

"What is he doing?"

"That's right, Storm Video is dying, is it necessary to buy it?"

"There's no place to spend more money, right?"

"Is this trying to get into the streaming industry?"

"The idea is good, but it's doomed to fail."

"The streaming media industry is not accessible to ordinary people, even if he is a top director, even if he owns a film and television company."

The industry was very flat on the news.

Storm Video had already fallen behind in the fierce competition and was dying, just waiting to breathe its last breath.

Even if you Xu Nan bought it, what's the use of it.

Do you really think that you are a top director and can support a video platform?

Ten of you are useless.

Why doesn't the industry think that Xu Nan's acquisition of Storm Video is worth paying attention to, because operating a video platform is too expensive.

What supports a video platform is the content inside, not only old content, but also a steady stream of new content.

Due to fierce competition, the price of buying film and television dramas is now rising steadily.

The starting capital of Munan Video is one billion, which seems to be a lot, but other video platforms start with tens of billions of funds for purchasing new content a year.

Why have video platforms frequently closed down in the past few years? It is because the funds cannot support them.

The few video platforms that were able to survive were backed by countless capital predators, so they couldn't hold on to this, and began to try to make their own videos.

You Xu Nan has a little money, but it can be compared with several major video platforms. Any video platform costs more than tens of billions of dollars. Your little money is enough to burn for a long time.

Unless you can continue to create explosive models, let Munan Video have continuous hematopoietic ability.

But is that possible?
In fact, Xu Nan is not the only owner of Munan Video, and Lin Ziyi is also one of the owners.

But Xu Nan's reputation is much greater than Lin Ziyi's, so everyone assumes that this video platform belongs to Xu Nan.

In fact, this is not wrong, because Xu Nan also has shares in it, and he has made up his mind to get more shares in the future and become the real controller of this video platform.

And if you want to win more shares, you must bring more members to the website.

If you want to bring in more members, the best way is to make a blockbuster drama that makes the audience have to become members.

Moreover, Xu Nan had already thought about what kind of TV series to shoot.

Just shoot "Unexpectedly".

This is the first nonsensical spoof network skit in Chinese history, which in a sense created history.

This little skit, which adds up to less than an hour, may not be as long as an episode of other TV shows, but it has made multiple histories.

Many of the lines in it have become Internet buzzwords and have endured for a long time.

For example, I think of running in the sunset, that is our lost youth.

Or, in a short time, I will be promoted and raise my salary, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of my life.

This short play is extremely influential and has profoundly changed the video landscape in China. It can be called the originator of short plays.

The most important thing is that this short play is extremely simple to shoot, and the cost is very low.

Low cost, high quality, and a big hit, it must be shot.

After deciding to shoot the TV series "Unexpectedly", Xu Nan began to prepare the crew.

To be honest, this short play is really easy to shoot and easy to prepare, even easier than Shanzhai Touching Porcelain.

The people in the company even thought that Xu Nan was going to imitate the popular movie of Pengci again. After all, this was the old business of Dingfeng Film and Television and Xu Nan.

While preparing for the filming of "Unexpectedly", the public casting of "Mother of Lightning" has also come to an end.

"Here's the list of actors who made it to the final round."

Liu Yang handed a document to Xu Nan.

Liu Yang has always been in charge of the public casting of "Mother of Lightning", but he can only be in charge of the first few rounds, and it is Xu Nan who can really make the decision.

Xu Nan glanced at the list, curled his lips and said, "Concubine Liu Yi also made it to the final round."

Liu Yang showed a serious look: "I did consider whether to eliminate her, but her image does fit the movie, so I let her enter the final round."

"And whether to choose her as the protagonist of "Mother of Lightning", I think it should be up to you, Mr. Xu, to decide."

Xu Nan nodded, accepting Liu Yang's explanation.

There are four stars entering the final round, namely Liu Yifei, Fan Bing, Tang Wei, and Tang Yan. They are all top female stars, and they are also very suitable for the role of Dianmu.

Who to choose in the end is really nerve-wracking.

However, after the interview, Xu Nan finally chose Fan Bing, the female star.

She has a title, the Queen of the Red Carpet, who is constantly controversial and the top female star in the entertainment industry.

Another key point is that Fan Bing is very beautiful, her face is almost perfect, she was once regarded as a plastic surgery template by major plastic surgery hospitals, and I don’t know how many young internet celebrities have plastic surgery based on Fan Bing’s face.

In the setting, the electric mother comes from the heaven of high civilization, and her appearance must not be low.

Originally, Xu Nan thought Concubine Liu Yi was the most suitable, with an ethereal air of immortality, she was just right to play the role of a fairy god.

But who told her to do it herself?

Moreover, Fan Bing's appearance is not inferior to Concubine Liu Yi's, and even better to some extent.

Since this is the case, it is not a bad idea to choose Fan Bing.

When the news spread, Fan Bing was overwhelmed with joy, while Liu Yifei's expression was completely distorted.

I didn't choose it.

I have already condescended to participate in the casting, but I haven't been selected yet?

But no matter how sad and indignant Liu Yifei felt, how unbelievable she was, the facts could not be changed.

The entertainment industry is so cruel and ever-changing. If you miss it, you will miss it.

The media also started reporting.

Concubine Liu Yi, Tang Yan, and Tang Wei unfortunately failed to be selected, and Fan Bing confirmed to play the role of Dianmu. "

"The Queen of the Red Carpet and the Superhero, Reviewing Fan Bing's Ten Years of Controversy. "

"Liu Yang: Electric Mother is the most critical part of the superhero universe. "

"Fan Bing: Mother of Lightning, who else is mine?" "

"Industry experts: Dianmu will open the era of blockbuster special effects. "

"Are you looking forward to the electric mother?" "

"The connection between Electric Mother and Captain China, Spiderman, and Stare. "

Because of the aftermath of "Glaring Man" and the fact that this casting almost wiped out all the female stars in the entertainment circle, the public paid great attention.

After the results came out, it was also on several hot searches, triggering discussions among many netizens.

"It's actually Fan Bing, she doesn't have any outstanding works."

"Why doesn't Bingbing have any works that can be sold? It's better than some celebrities who rush to the street every day."

"I thought the role belonged to Concubine Liu Yi. After all, she is the most beautiful among the four."

"Nonsense, Bingbing is the most beautiful."

"What's wrong with my Tangtang?"

"Please make it clear, Tang Wei is not worthy?"

There is a scuffle below the hot search.

After all, these four female stars are so popular, it can be said that they are well known by the whole people.

No matter which female star is chosen to play the lead role in a movie, there will be controversy.

And this kind of controversy is also good for the movie "Electric Mother", which makes more people have an impression of this movie.

Although the film has not yet been filmed, the early publicity can be regarded as the beginning.

Lin Ziyi, who was busy at work, swiped her phone to see the relevant news, shook her head, and called Xu Nan.

"I have almost communicated with the American side, and the authorization of some classic film and television dramas should be settled soon."

Xu Nan replied: "That's good. There are quite a lot of people in China who like to watch American dramas. With the authorization, the software should have many more users."

Lin Ziyi reminded: "I have already done what I said at the beginning, how about you?"

Xu Nan: "Don't worry, Mu Nan's video will definitely be launched as soon as "Glaring Man" is released. In this regard, I will never break my promise."

Lin Ziyi said again: "This is not included in the contribution."

Xu Nan replied: "I understand, since the authorization of those old content is not considered your contribution, then of course my movie is not considered a contribution."

Xu Nan and Lin Ziyi's agreement was to compete on innovation ability, that is, new content, and old content, whether it was Xu Nan's "Glaster Man" or the film and television drama license obtained by Lin Ziyi, did not count.

The key is who can produce a new blockbuster film and television drama and attract viewers to pay.

The two then discussed the development strategy of Munan Video for a while, then hung up the phone.

After finishing the call, Xu Nan played with his phone and showed a smile.

"I didn't expect Lin Ziyi to be quite competitive."

If this is the case, then he can't fall behind, otherwise the shares of Munan Video will really fall into Lin Ziyi's hands.

"Unexpectedly", the filming started immediately.
