Chapter 653: Your Role Is the Most Important Thing
A day later.
Pinnacle Films.
Mimi, Shi Shi, and Concubine Liu met unexpectedly.
Seeing that there were others, the expressions of the three people were first surprised, and then quickly showed hostility.
You don't have to think about it, this time period appears in the peak film and television, in addition to Xu Nan's new movie, what else can it be.
In the office, I heard that the three of them arrived at the same time, and Xu Nan was not surprised.
This was the result he wanted, otherwise, he wouldn't have made an appointment on the same day.
"Invite them all to the conference room."
"Okay."
The assistant who specializes in chores nodded and left the office.
Soon, Xu Nan arrived at the conference room.
is different from what he imagined, in the conference room, the three female stars sit together like very good girlfriends, talking and laughing generously and having fun.
If he didn't know the real relationship between these people, seeing this scene, Xu Nan might have really thought that they had a good relationship.
But actually.
Plastic sister flowers.
"Director Xu, you're here."
Mimi was the first to see Xu Nan, her big eyes lit up, and she came over with a smile to greet him, and she seemed extremely familiar.
Xu Nan was not in a hurry, and chatted with Mimi at the door.
Seeing this, Shi Shi was not to be outdone, came up to interrupt their conversation, and also talked to Xu Nan.
Concubine Liu was more reserved, but she also took the initiative to greet him and chat a few words.
Xu Nan chatted with a few people for a while, and he was re-acquainted, which was also convenient for follow-up cooperation.
Among the three of them, the last time Mimi and him cooperated was several years ago, and Shi Shi was the same, the latest Concubine Liu Yi hadn't seen her for a year, and there was basically no contact except for sending some congratulatory messages during the New Year's holidays, of course Xu Nan had to get acquainted with them.
After all, these are the protagonists of his films.
Xu Nan took a closer look at the state of several people, and they all maintained a very good appearance, still radiant, and looked several years younger than their actual age.
After all, it is a star who eats with his face, and he pays attention to this aspect.
After chatting for a while, everyone got acquainted with each other, and Xu Nan finally said what he meant.
"A few beauties, in fact, I invited you here today just to let you star in my next movie "Sweeping the Alliance"."
"We?"
Mimi was the first to notice that something was wrong.
Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, it's you." ”
"You should remember that I said that super hero movies are all the same worldview, as long as it goes well, there will be a collection in the future."
"'Captain China,' 'Spider-Man,' 'Staring Man', and 'Electric Mother' were all successful, so I planned to make a big compilation movie where all the superheroes banded together to fight the villain."
"Here's the script, you can take a look."
Xu Nan asked Yu Fei to distribute the script to three people.
Seeing that it was not the big heroine movie they imagined, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but also a little lucky.
Because it means they won't lose the election.
And the probability of success in shooting a sequel movie is higher, even if the quality is poor, the box office will not be low.
A few people looked at the script seriously.
There's not much to say about the content of the script, a typical story of good triumphing over evil, and they also have a rough idea of how good or bad the script is, and this script is obviously good.
Looking at the delicate faces of the three people, Xu Nan was very confident that it was impossible for these three people to refuse him.
The reason is simple, this is his Xu Nan's movie.
Moreover, although "Sweeping Alliance" is a group movie, it has a lot of scenes, which is much better than the bordered heroines of those big male lead movies.
The development of these people is just like that, unless they are funny, how can they be willing to refuse his movies.
Really.
He guessed right.
A few people just took a cursory look at the script and agreed to star in "Sweeping the Alliance".
The reason is very simple, this is Xu Nan's movie, and Xu Nan is the guarantee of success.
In the entertainment industry, everyone hopes to be able to cooperate with successful people and share the fruits of success.
But.
Even if a few people agree to star, things are not so simple.
First of all, there is the issue of schedule, the three stars have a bunch of announcements, and when the movie will start, the time of the three people needs to be coordinated to decide.
And then there is the salary, the three of them are all first-line, and the salary must not be too low, if only one person starred, they may consider reducing the salary, but with three people, they will not lower their value.
In addition, there are various treatment issues, such as whether to use a powder room alone or shared by multiple people, or whether the crew should provide an RV for the star, what specifications are the food, whether the place to live is a five-star hotel, etc., etc., these are a lot of things.
Some celebrities have extremely high requirements in this regard, there was once a star who filmed a drama and put forward thousands of conditions, eating, drinking, lodging and resting, and even pet dogs had to help take care of them, and they also needed to ask a pet stylist to help take care of them.
Although Mimi's requirements are not so perverted, they are not much lower.
In this regard, Xu Nan did not interfere too much, but asked producer Yu Fei to negotiate with several people's agents.
As long as the conditions they put forward are not too excessive, they can agree.
After all, he is a first-line star, and he still has to have a line.
Fortunately, several people really wanted to star in Xu Nan's movie, and the conditions put forward were not too excessive, so Yu Fei, the producer, and several agents signed the contract.
After the contract was signed, Liu Shishi and Concubine Liu said goodbye to Xu Nan successively, and they still had notices to run, and the itinerary was very full.
Mimi stayed to chat with Xu Nan.
"I said Director Xu, you are too pitiful, you said that the big heroine movie was good, but it turned out to be a group movie."
"I treat you as a friend, but you cheat me like this."
Xu Nan was surprised: "When did I pit you, the four leading actors of "Sweeping the Alliance" are all women, isn't it a big heroine movie?" ”
Mimi: "."
Embarrassed to say?
A real heroine movie, shouldn't there be only one protagonist.
The gap between group portrait movies and single-protagonist movies is too big.
"Director Xu, I regard you as a friend."
Mimi looked at Xu Nan with big eyes, and her expression was extremely sincere.
Xu Nan's face was straight: "Mimi, in fact, I also regard you as a friend." ”
Mimi wondered, "Really? ”
Xu Nan nodded solemnly: "Of course it's true, although "Sweeping the Alliance" is a group movie, I can assure you that Spider-Man's scenes are the most important in it, and at the same time." ”
"Really?"
Mimi's eyes lit up.
If that's the case, then "Sweeping the Alliance" means a lot to her, and it can't become another masterpiece after "Spider-Man".
is a little speechless, she has debuted for so many years, and the only movie that can be regarded as a masterpiece is "Spider-Man" with Xu Nan.
At the same time, the film also had the highest box office.
Other films starred.
Don't talk about it, it's all tears when you talk too much.
Therefore, I still have to cooperate with a big director like Xu Nan.
Only by cooperating with big directors can the quality of the film be guaranteed.
Her career reached its peak before, wasn't it because of her cooperation with Xu Nan?
So this pie, it smells really good.
"Of course it's true, what is the relationship between the two of us."
"I still use the gift you gave me last time."
"Besides, what reason do I have to lie to you, Spider-Man is indeed the most important character in "Sweeping the Alliance", because this character has the lowest background and the widest audience, so I designed the most scenes for this character."
Xu Nan spoke very seriously, and he was very sincere at first glance.
Mimi's mood suddenly became happy, and the smile on her face was extraordinarily bright.
Sure enough, gifts are useful for the New Year's holidays, and it is not in vain that her gifts are hand-selected, and the effect will come.
"It seems that I blame you by mistake, Director Xu."
Xu Nan frowned: "Forget it, we are friends, I don't blame you." ”
"But the ugly thing I said was in front, in this movie, you have the most scenes, and at the same time, the role is the most important, so when you are on the set, you must support me, and you must not drop the chain for me."
Mimi's face was solemn: "Sure Director Xu, since this movie is based on me, then I will definitely do my best." ”
"That's good."
Xu Nan's face softened a lot: "Prepare well, I hope to see your amazing performance on the set." ”
"No problem."
Mimi almost patted her chest and promised.
"Oh yes."
Xu Nan patted his head: "I will only tell you about the fact that Spider-Man has the most scenes in the movie, on the surface, your roles are almost the same, but in fact, I will definitely focus on the role of Spider-Man when editing, so don't talk about this matter, I'm afraid that several other people have opinions in their hearts and affect the filming." ”
Mi Mi nodded madly: "Don't worry, Director Xu, I definitely won't say it." ”
"It's a little secret that only the two of us know."
After talking to Xu Nan, Mimi was full of confidence, as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and went back happily.
In the movie "Sweeping the Alliance", he has the most scenes, and it is also the most important one in the movie.
There must be an effort.
The film was soon in the preparatory stage.
This movie, Xu Nan initially estimated, the total cost is 700 million, 100 million for Peak Film and Television, 100 million for Nanmu Video, and all the rest of the money is invested by others.
This is to diversify the risk.
Of course, if the movie makes money, Xu Nan will definitely get the biggest piece, and if he loses money, his loss is the smallest.
It's an old routine in the circle.
But even under such harsh conditions, there were still a large group of people lining up to send money to Xu Nan, for fear that he would not accept it.
The reason is very simple, Xu Nan has never lost money since his debut, and he can be called an undefeated god of war.
Advertising investment is also very smooth, in order to be able to show their faces in the movie, major advertisers lined up to send money to Xu Nan, but they were afraid that they would not accept it.
The preparation of the film went exceptionally well.
Including Lin Hongsleeve's side, although she didn't have a good impression of Xu Nan, it had been so long, and it wasn't a deep hatred, so it naturally faded.
With Lin Ziyi's help, Lin Hongsleeve finally agreed to participate in the movie "Sweeping the Alliance".
This made Xu Nan breathe a sigh of relief.
If Lin Hongsleeve doesn't act, it's not impossible for him to find someone else to top, but that will definitely have an adverse impact on the movie.
Lin Hongsleeve can agree to participate, that is the best.
In order to prevent problems, Xu Nan also specially asked Lin Ziyi to match, invited Lin Hongsleeve to have a meal, and went out to play for a day, which finally eliminated the estrangement and guaranteed that it would not affect the filming of the movie.
When they were separated, Xu Nan patted his chest in front of Lin Ziyi and assured.
"It was my fault for making a bad movie last time, I didn't expect you to be so demanding."
"But this time, don't worry, "Sweeping the Alliance" is definitely a serious movie, big special effects, big scenes, and your Chinese captain is also the most important role in the movie."
"I promise, this movie will impress everyone."
Lin Hongsleeve snorted coldly: "If you dare to lie to me again this time, I will ignore you for the rest of my life, and let my sister ignore you." ”
"Don't worry, absolutely not, I swear to God."
Soon.
It's time for the movie to start filming.
On this day, Xu Nan held a press conference and provided reporters with a lot of materials before starting to shoot a movie.
Before the filming of the movie, he found an opportunity to be alone with Yoo Shi-shi.
"Shi Shi, there is something I have to tell you."
Xu Nan's expression was very serious.
"Xu Dao, you say."
"Have you read the script of "Sweeping the Alliance"?"
Liu Shishi immediately said: "After watching Director Xu, I not only finished watching it, but I was able to recite most of the lines in it to ensure that I would not lag behind during filming." ”
Xu Nan looked relieved: "Sure enough, I know that Shi Shi's attitude is the best one, so I can rest assured that I will hand over the burden to you." ”
"Huh?"
Liu Shishi looked dazed.
Xu Nan whispered: "Shi Shi, I'll give it to you." ”
"On the surface, in the movie "Sweeping the Alliance", several of you have similar roles, but in fact, your staring man is the most important role in the movie, playing a key role in connecting the previous and the next, and he also has the most scenes."
"Really, fake."
Liu Shishi was overjoyed.
"Of course it's true, other characters, superpowers are either mutated or come with their own, only "Staring Man" relies on high technology, this character is unique in the movie, and it plays a very key role in the battle."
Xu Nan swore with a sincere face.
"That," Liu Shishi forced a smile: "It's not good for other people." ”
Xu Nan spread his hands: "No way, the movie always has to be focused, it's all for the sake of the quality of the movie." ”
Liu Shishi couldn't help nodding.
Yes, it's all for the sake of the quality of the movie.
"So."
Xu Nan seriously admonished: "Shi Shi, you must act well and show your best, otherwise the quality of the movie will be affected." ”
Liu Shishi immediately said: "Director Xu, don't worry, don't you know me, I am focused on the movie, and I promise to show the best acting skills, and I will definitely not let you down." ”
"Then I'll be relieved."
Xu Nan looked relieved.
"By the way, no one else knows about this matter, on the surface, your roles are similar, so you must not tell others."
