This director only makes bad movies

Chapter 3 The fierce and long-legged heroine

After gaining the support of the company's only old employee, Xu Nan immediately started the preparatory work for the film.

Director, producer, assistant director, executive producer, and a series of other positions are all held by himself.

As the only employee of the company, Liu Yang also has to shoulder a heavy responsibility. He has to handle all the photography, videography, record keeping, lighting, props, equipment and other duties by himself.

If necessary, Liu Yang needs to appear anywhere on the set.

At first, Liu Yang was opposed to having to do so many things.

But when he saw the double salary Xu Nan offered him, he felt really good.

As for other aspects, we save what we can. The remaining staff will use the cheapest quotation. Regardless of their ability, they only look at the price. Whoever has the lowest price will be chosen.

After the behind-the-scenes work was done, it was time to cast.

Xu Nan's principle is still to save money first. I don't care whether your image suits you or not. I don't care whether you are famous or not. As long as it is cheap, I will use it.

Several film and television studio costars heard that they could be the protagonists, and even if they didn't pay for it, they would star.

Xu Nan was very happy about this. These young men were on the right track.

Newcomers shouldn't pay too much attention to money. Our film is a benchmark for Zhang Yange's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Soon, the crew was almost ready. As long as the heroine was found, the film could start shooting.

Other characters can be made do with, and if it really doesn't work, the crew can step in, but the heroine, Xu Nan, can't make do with it.

Why do Shelter Pictures’ copycat movies make so much money? It’s because they understand their audience very well.

A bad thing will be a bad thing, and a copycat will be a copycat, but there must be things that should be there.

In every movie, Shelter Pictures will arrange a fierce and long-legged heroine. She will definitely provide the benefits that should be given, and will still give the benefits that should not be given.

What is a good film company? This is a good film company.

So even if they make bad movies, even if they copy others, the audience will still support them.

Xu Nan must learn this point of success.

Moreover, the review in this parallel world is relatively loose. Other movies can give out benefits, but the benefits for copycat movies like theirs will be even more.

But heroines with fierce and long legs are a scarce resource. It’s no problem to be a special guest on any crew.

It’s not that you can’t hire someone, but it does cost money, and it shouldn’t be less.

This made Xu Nan very embarrassed.

But for the sake of the movie effect and the audience's movie-watching experience, he deliberately released public information online and even offline to publicly select the heroine.

Although the movie is a copycat movie, and although the filming cost is very low, others don't know about it.

When I saw whether I had chosen a heroine or a movie heroine, a large number of people came over.

"Yes, I'm coming."

"I know their company's last movie was a flop, but at least it's a regular movie company and she's the heroine of the movie."

"Maybe it will explode. Even if it fails, it would be good for me to be the heroine."

"Okay, no more talking, I'm hanging up the phone."

Seeing that it was almost her turn, Zhao Xiaolan immediately hung up the phone.

She is an actress who graduated from a professional college and joined a professional agency after graduation.

It's a pity that the agency doesn't take her seriously, and her agent doesn't take her seriously either, so she can only go out and look for drama on her own.

She took the initiative to choose the cast for this movie. Before coming, she checked online, but she didn't find much information.

The only thing I know is that Summit Films was established a year ago and invested 30 million to make a movie.

Then the movie crashed and was only released for five days.

Then the studio produced a new movie.

No matter which way you look at it, this movie is unreliable, and it looks like it's going to throw you off.

But she is a newcomer and has no choice. Moreover, there are many examples in the industry of the failure of the first movie and the success of the second movie. Maybe she will encounter it.

The last movie failed miserably. This company should have learned a lot of lessons. The new movie will definitely be more mature and easier to succeed.

Entering the interview room, Zhao Xiaolan saw the two people responsible for the interview at a glance.

One is the director of the film, Xu Nan, and the other is the film's cameraman, Liu Yang.

"Hello director, hello cameraman. My name is Zhao Xiaolan. I graduated from Nortel. This time I am running for the heroine."

Zhao Xiaolan smiled.

The heroine of a movie is destined to go through fierce competition, and she is mentally prepared for this.

"Very good, your image is very similar to the heroine of our movie."

Seeing Zhao Xiaolan's appearance, Xu Nan nodded repeatedly.

With her fierce and long legs, she looks like film material.

Zhao Xiaolan’s eyes lit up.

It seems that the director admires him very much.

Immediately, Zhao Xiaolan performed a wave of performances and dedicated her wonderful acting skills.

Xu Nan nodded faster. Although her acting skills were poor, her action scenes were very good. She was just the heroine he needed.

It's a bad movie anyway, it doesn't matter whether the acting is good or not, just being ferocious and having long legs is fine.

I really want to sign the contract, as long as she can meet the most critical conditions.

"Ahem." Xu Nan coughed, "Our crew is a bit tight on funds, the conditions may be relatively simple, and the pay is a bit low, can you accept it?"

Zhao Xiaolan blinked.

It sounds like this crew doesn't have much money.

That's right, this company called Summit Films failed a movie with an investment of 30 million some time ago, so it's normal for new movies to be a bit tight on funding.

After all, she is the heroine of the movie, and she is a newcomer, so the requirements cannot be too high.

"No problem, I'm not the kind of squeamish person, as long as the movie is done well." Zhao Elaine said nonchalantly.

Xu Nan immediately smiled.

Very good, this girl is good enough.

It’s decided, the heroine of the movie is you.

Xu Nan took out the contract while the iron was hot: "Come on, let's sign the contract now."

Zhao Xiaolan read the contract and after confirming that there was no problem, signed her name.

The smile on Xu Nan's face became even more enthusiastic, and she held Zhao Xiaolan's hand tightly.

"Welcome to join the crew, don't worry, the content of our film is very exciting, and the benchmark is "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" directed by Zhang Yange."

The naive Zhao Elaine's eyes lit up. Zhang Yange is a great director, and she actually compared him to "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"?

This is certainly a well-crafted and good movie.

Zhao Xiaolan nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, director, I will definitely provide wonderful acting skills,"

Xu Nan's eyes lit up: "Well, I believe in you, let's work hard for the movie together."
