Chapter 240: The Idea of the Cinematic Universe
Shi Shi suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Xu Nan is so optimistic about Mimi, the first choice for making movies in the future must be Mimi.
No, it can't be like this, she must take the initiative to fight for it, otherwise this big director will pass by her.
Shi Shi asked: "Director Xu, do you remember the last premiere and said that you invited me to act in a movie?" ”
"At that time, I was very busy with the schedule and didn't reply, but now I think clearly, Director Xu's movie, even if the schedule is busy, you have to act."
Xu Nan smiled slightly.
Shi Shi's words were basically what he expected.
To put it mildly, with his current status in the circle, if he wants to hire someone to act in a movie, unless it is a last resort, as long as he is a star, he will not refuse.
It is normal for Shi Shi to take the initiative to ask for roles.
It just so happens that he has a role that is suitable for Shi Shi.
So Xu Nan nodded and said: "I do have a movie in my hand, and this movie is currently in the preparation stage, and there is a role in it that is just right for you." ”
Shi Shi said decisively: "I'm acting, I don't need money." ”
Mimi was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Director Xu, don't forget me, didn't you say that my acting skills are very good." ”
Xu Nan smiled: "Mimi, my new movie is in the same worldview as "Spider-Man", you can't play this role." ”
He already had an idea of a cinematic universe in his head, and he had already begun to implement it gradually.
The successful examples of Marvel in the previous life are here, why not learn them.
Hollywood movies in this world are very fierce, but there are slight differences from the previous life, at least there is no such thing as the movie universe.
Comics like Marvel and Justice League are owned by the United States, but the copyrights of the characters in them are so scattered that they can't make up a movie universe at all.
The success of the movie universe in the previous life was also very accidental, Iron Man was only a second-tier hero in the comics, and he was the only superhero who could get his hands on Marvel's movies.
I didn't expect it to become popular after it was filmed, and then there was a Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In this world, the company that draws comics is even worse, and there is not even a second-tier superhero in hand, and it is almost impossible to put together a movie universe.
It just so happened that he could be the first person to shoot a cinematic universe.
However, it is not so easy for the cinematic universe to succeed.
Take the Justice League as an example, there are obviously examples of Marvel's success in the front, but it still fails repeatedly.
The main reason is that they are too anxious and do not lay the groundwork well.
Marvel is different, from the very beginning of Iron Man, to Hulk, Captain America, Thor, it took several years to pave the way for the worldview, and finally took out the Avengers, the king bomb, and played the name of the Marvel universe.
He also wants to learn from Marvel's successful experience, "Captain China" is the beginning, "Spider-Man" is the development, and there will be other superheroes next, one after another, after laying the foundation for the worldview, let's make a big one, let everyone see his level.
The two movies have exploded in succession, and Xu Nan is now high-spirited and wants to make a big one.
Of course, in order to avoid failure, you must choose a good actor.
Shi Shi is very good, when it comes to traffic, it is not much lower than Mimi, let her be the protagonist, not only with tens of millions of box office, but also very convenient publicity.
Of course, if Shi Shi doesn't want to, he can also choose someone else, anyway, the initiative is in her hands.
Of course Shi Shi is willing.
She immediately smiled: "Then thank you Director Xu, we can sign the contract now." ”
After signing the contract of intent, the matter is almost half the battle, because the breach of contract will pay liquidated damages.
Xu Nandao: "There is no hurry to sign the contract, this movie may have to wait until next year, and then talk about it." ”
Shi Shi's expression has changed, and when she waits for next year, the daylilies will be cold, and how many female stars will compete when the news spreads, and the resources will still be in her hands.
It's very common in the entertainment industry to grab roles.
But what can she do, Xu Nan said to wait for next year, that is, wait for next year, and she can't force Xu Nan to make a movie.
Seeing Shi Shi's lost expression, Mimi was very happy, and glanced at her proudly, radiant and charming.
Want to take the place of your sister?
It's early!
Shi Shi reluctantly smiled: "Then Director Xu, we have decided, you must find me next year." ”
"Definitely, definitely." Xu Nan smiled and responded.
However, whether it is her Shi Shi, it is clear that the agreement between the two people now does not count.
You can change the role after signing the contract, let alone not signing the contract, it is just a simple verbal agreement.
Shi Shi only took a pit verbally, and when the movie really started, he would find a way to determine it.
Xu Nan said this on purpose, although he had already made up his mind to let Shi Shi be the protagonist, but he couldn't show a very urgent look, and he had to dry her first.
Shi Shi is a very famous star, and he has to put some pressure on her, so that he will be in a hundred and twenty points of spirit when filming.
Next, Xu Nan and Shi Shi chatted for a while, but they didn't talk too much, so they chatted casually.
Shi Shi also asked about the plot setting of the new movie, saying that he would go back and prepare early.
I have to say that she is still very sincere, and she can be said to have worked very hard to act in Xu Nan's movies.
But the key is that Xu Nan doesn't know what the plot setting of the new movie is.
He only has an outline in his head, and the specific plot and setting have to go back and think about it carefully, so he can only deal with it.
After chatting with Shi Shi, Xu Nan chatted with Mimi again.
"Mimi, "Spider-Man" is about to be released, and the box office will definitely break one billion, congratulations."
Speaking of this, Mimi was also very happy: "Tongxi, Director Xu, by the way, Director Xu said that there is a sequel to "Spider-Man" during filming, is it true." ”
Xu Nan nodded: "It's true, but it will take a while, after all, "Spider-Man" has just been released, and we have to give the audience a little buffer time." ”
Generally speaking, movies that make money will make sequels, and the probability of making money is greater.
"Spider-Man" will definitely make a sequel, but it will take a while.
If you make a sequel, you don't have to think about it, Mimi must be the first heroine, and no one can take her place.
Xu Nan and Mimi chatted seriously for a while.
He and Mimi are still relatively familiar, after all, the two of them have made movies together, and the movie is successful again, and it is difficult to think about a bad relationship.
Chatting and chatting, Xu Nan suddenly saw a person, Wang Tian, the boss of Radiance Film and Television.
Wang Tian is a bigwig in the entertainment industry and has a very high status, and Xu Nan wants to welcome him personally.
He confessed to Mimi and hurried over to greet him.
"Mr. Wang, welcome to come, after you come, I will shine here."
Wang Tian smiled: "You say that, it makes me a little embarrassed, so don't be so polite." ”
Wang Tian's attitude is very polite, Xu Nan is not only a director, but also the owner of a film and television company, and his status is about the same.
The two of them had a great time chatting.
While chatting, Wang Tian suddenly asked, "Mr. Xu, do you know that the relevant departments are going to have a meeting with us?" ”
