"Hey, honey."

"I forgot that no one can forget you."

"The next movie is still in the works."

"What, is there a role for you?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't have that."

"Okay, we'll talk next time."

In the office, Xu Nan hung up the phone.

Since the box office of "The Beginning" exceeded one billion, he has re-experienced a hot feeling.

The entertainment industry is so realistic.

Everything depends on the box office, as long as you can make money, then you are a god.

In the past, Xu Nan still had some controversy, which caused some reserved female stars to be reluctant to take the initiative to find him, but now that "The Beginning" has exploded, all controversies have disappeared.

This movie is known as the best suspense film in China, and even the official praised it.

This is the first time for Xu Nan, in the past, there were two movies like "Captain China" and "Spider-Man", although the box office, the official will definitely not boast.

One is because the quality of the movie is not good, and the other is that Xu Nan's means of promoting the movie are too much.

But "The Beginning" is different, it wins with quality in a dignified manner, and no one can gossip.

Of course, the official has to praise this kind of righteous movie.

With the official endorsement, people in the circle no longer have any scruples and began to inquire about Xu Nan's next movie.

Of course, they know that Xu Nan's next movie will not come out so soon, but if they say a few good words now, maybe they will be able to take advantage of this advantage in the future.

It doesn't matter if he has dates or not, let's talk about a few shots first.

And some smart people look far away, Xu Nan is so young, and he has a film and television job under him, and he is destined to be a big man in the entertainment industry in the future.

Building a good relationship now will only do good in the future, and there will be no harm in doing so.

At this time, Liu Yang walked in and told Xu Nan a piece of news.

"Mr. Xu, Shi Shi is here."

Xu Nan was stunned: "Which Shishi?" ”

Liu Yang shrugged: "First-line star, Liu Shishi." ”

"She said she wanted to see you because you said last year that you wanted her to play the heroine of a movie."

Xu Nan's expression became subtle: "There is such a thing. ”

After the release of "Spider-Man" last year, the box office exploded, and at the celebration banquet, Liu Shishi tentatively said that he wanted to participate in his movie.

At that time, Xu Nan agreed, but it was postponed to this year, and the two made a verbal agreement at the banquet.

In fact, this kind of verbal agreement can be completely inappropriate, after all, even the intention contract has not been signed.

However, Xu Nan planned to agree to Liu Shishi.

Because he has already thought about what to shoot in his next movie, the name is called "Staring Man" if nothing else, which is the third part of the superhero universe series.

The so-called superhero universe is a movie universe built by several movies such as "Captain China", "Spider-Man", "Staring Man", etc., and it is no surprise that a "Electric Mother" will be added in the future.

This is a series of movies inspired by Xu Nan based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe in his previous life, which has been adapted locally and added to his own inspiration.

The superhero cinematic universe, the first "Captain China" and the second "Spider-Man", have all been huge successes and opened up popularity.

What Xu Nan has to do next is to build on the good foundation laid by the previous work and continue to walk along the road of success.

Once this series is successful, the profit will be calculated in tens of billions, and he himself can earn a steady stream of benefits with this series.

After clearing his thoughts, Xu Nan said directly: "You let her in." ”

Liu Yang nodded: "Okay." ”

But before leaving, he said: "Mr. Xu, do you remember Zhang Qingqing, who is the female star who refused to participate in "The Beginning". ”

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"Her agent called to congratulate "The Beginning" on its big hit, and asked us if there were any film plans in the future, and if so, she was willing to let Zhang Qingqing audition."

Xu Nan pouted: "Why did you go earlier." ”

The last time I took the initiative to invite the door, I was rejected, and now I see the success of the movie and think of it?

Former and backward.

Don't think about it, if there are similar roles in the future, the first thing that comes to mind of Summit Film and Television must be Li Ruoshui, and the second consideration is Zhang Qingqing.

And with Li Ruoshui as a competitor, Zhang Qingqing's life should not be very good.

Originally, there was only one weak and innocent actress in the circle, Zhang Qingqing, but now that a competitor has come out, she will definitely compete with her, and maybe some resources that should have belonged to Zhang Qingqing have been pried away by Li Ruoshui.

But who is to blame, it's not you Zhang Qingqing who did it yourself.

Anyway, Xu Nan doesn't have a good impression of Zhang Qingqing, and basically won't have any cooperation with her in the future.

After Liu Yang finished speaking, he went out directly, obviously not optimistic about Zhang Qingqing's agent's behavior of burning the cold stove.

The icing on the cake is good, but it's still not as good as sending charcoal in the snow.

There are some things, after that village, there is no such shop.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.

"Knock knock."

"Please come in."

Liu Shishi walked in and said very familiarly: "Congratulations, Director Xu, "The Beginning" is a big hit, and the box office has exceeded one billion. ”

Xu Nan said modestly: "It's just luck, I didn't expect this movie to be so popular, I can only say that the audience is cheering." ”

"What's any luck, to put it bluntly, Director Xu is strong enough, the box office of the second movie "Captain China" broke one billion, the box office of "Spider-Man" broke one billion last year, and now "The Beginning" has broken one billion, I'll see which one dares to gossip."

Xu Nan laughed.

I have to say that those who can mix into a line are a bit level, Xu Nan and Liu Shishi haven't seen each other for a long time, and they seem very strange, but between three words, the two of them became acquainted.

After chatting for a while, Liu Shishi realized his intentions.

"Director Xu, do you remember, when "Spider-Man" was released last year, you said that you have a movie with a role that suits me, and I agreed at that time, why didn't I get any news about "The Beginning"."

Xu Nan smiled: "The movie I'm talking about is not "The Beginning". ”

Although he had already made up his mind in his heart to let Liu Shishi play the protagonist of "Staring Man", this did not prevent him from bargaining with his posture and making Liu Shishi give in.

The reason is simple, he is a director, and he naturally stands at the top of the food chain, upstream.

As a first-line star, Liu Shishi may be able to take a position with some ordinary directors, but he can only be honest here.

It's not an unspoken rule or anything, but to take advantage of that advantage and talk about the best conditions.

Liu Shishi also knew that her status and Xu Nan were not equal, but she really wanted to act in a movie so much that she didn't care about anything else, so she asked directly.

"Then Director Xu, which movie are you talking about, you are a big director, you can't lie to me."

Xu Nan smiled: "Of course it's impossible to deceive people, in fact, the movie I told you last time belongs to the same world view as "Captain China" and "Spider-Man", and it is a superhero movie. ”

Liu Shishi couldn't cry or laugh: "It's the same as "Captain China", and "Spider-Man"? ”

Seeing Liu Shishi's expression, Xu Nan felt very angry.

What's the matter, look down on "Captain China" and "Spider-Man", right?

I admit that these two movies were a little rough, but the box office is over a billion.

There are several movies with a box office of more than one billion in the entertainment industry, why look down on them.

The atmosphere in the circle is so strange, many directors have made several movies, and the box office adds up to less than one billion, but this does not prevent them from rightly looking down on the two movies "Captain China" and "Spider-Man".

When these two movies are mentioned, many insiders have a dismissive attitude.

Just as many graduate and doctoral students who can't find a job despise the nouveau riche with low academic qualifications.

There is always an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Even if Xu Nan hadn't made a "The Beginning" and conquered everyone with quality, he might not have been recognized by the mainstream circle.

Ironically, a director who surpasses everyone at the box office can still be looked down upon.

Truly speechless.

So Xu Nan looked at Liu Shishi with a reluctant look and felt very uncomfortable.

Liu Shishi saw Xu Nan's expression, and immediately "chuckled" in his heart.

Oops, her performance just now seems to have made Director Xu Nan angry.

We have to find a way to remedy it.

Liu Shishi immediately smiled: "That's great, the new movie will definitely be able to continue the success of "Captain China" and "Spider-Man", here I wish Director Xu a big hit in advance." ”

Xu Nan's face looked much better.

Liu Shishi asked cautiously, "That. Director Xu, what kind of role am I playing? ”

Xu Nandao: "If nothing else, you are the protagonist, just like Mimi and Lin Hongsleeve, the absolute protagonist." ”

Liu Shishi's eyes lit up.

"And this movie, the cost is about 500 million, and it is an absolute top big production."

Liu Shishi's breathing began to become rapid.

"Also, this movie is what I plan to use to hit the box office record, it belongs to the super cinematic universe, and there will be a sequel."

Liu Shishi's breathing became heavy, and his chest rose and fell.

"I do."

Xu Nan smiled: "What would you like?" ”

Liu Shishi said directly: "I am willing to star in this movie." ”

Xu Nan smiled: "Miss Shi Shi, although I am very optimistic about you, but how to say it, there are different opinions in the company. ”

Liu Shishi said simply: "As long as you can let me act, let me do anything." ”

"Can you do anything?" Xu Nan smiled evilly: "The unspoken rules are okay?" ”

Liu Shishi hesitated, straightened his chest, and said tragically: "Others can't do it, but if you want to guide you, you can." ”

Xu Nan glanced at it and suddenly sighed.

Unremarkable!

And the eyes are blank.

I can't do it at all.

Xu Nan shook his head: "I don't want your body, I want your professionalism and your full cooperation." ”

Liu Shishi: "? ”

Next, Xu Nan and Liu Shishi had a completely unequal negotiation and forced her to sign an unequal treaty.

The first is the salary, which is pressed to the minimum.

Then when it was time to shoot the movie, Liu Shishi had to cooperate throughout the whole process, focusing on the filming of the crew, and was on call.

I have to say that Liu Shishi really made a big concession this time.

Let's not talk about the salary or anything, anyway, she doesn't make money purely from the salary, the key is the second one, fully cooperate with the crew's shooting.

You must know that Liu Shishi is a first-line star, with many itineraries, and any commercial performance starts at hundreds of thousands.

Even if you are acting, it is impossible to stay in the crew the whole time, and you must participate in some activities in the middle.

promised to stay in the crew the whole time, which was really a big concession.

The reason why Liu Shishi is willing to agree to Xu Nan's conditions is also very simple.

She wants to act in movies, she wants to be a movie café.

The chain is despised in the circle, and movies are always in front of TV series, and now Liu Shishi has the ability to carry TV series, but he does not have the ability to carry the box office.

When Xu Nan was controversial a year ago, Liu Shishi didn't mind acting in his movies, let alone now.
