This director only makes bad movies

"Are you interested in becoming an actor?" Xu Nan asked directly.

It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.

Xu Nan didn't expect that he would meet an actor here who was so suitable for playing Li Shiqing.

The first time he saw this little girl, Xu Nan decided that Li Shiqing must be her.

Because this person's temperament and appearance are really suitable for Li Shiqing, with his weak temperament, innocent eyes, and quiet face.

This is simply the resurrection of Li Shiqing.

"Ah?" The little girl was confused.

The agent was also confused.

Zhang Qingqing was also confused.

The turn was so fast that they didn't react for a long time.

A small assistant was invited to be an actor just after throwing water on a big director. What kind of outrageous setting is this?

Even TV dramas would not dare to act like this.

But it happened in reality.

"Hello, I am director Xu Nan, and I am currently casting for my new movie. I think you are very suitable to be the heroine of this movie. Are you willing?"

Xu Nan asked again.

"no."

Before the little girl could say anything, Zhang Qingqing refused.

Xu Nan frowned: "Why not?"

Zhang Qingqing said quickly: "She is my assistant, how can she be an actress? She has never studied acting at all, why should she play the leading role as soon as she comes on?"

In fact, Zhang Qingqing was very jealous.

Although she rejected Xu Nan's invitation, she knew very well how big a piece of cake Xu Nan's new movie was in the industry.

To put it bluntly, Xu Nan is really capable of flattering people.

Lin Hongxiu, Zhao Xiaolan, Zhang Ying, Mimi, who is not a living example.

Zhang Qingqing felt very upset when she thought of her humble assistant being turned into a star on her equal footing by being driven by her.

The agent also said: "Director Xu Nan, I'm not questioning your decision. I just want to say that this assistant has never studied acting, and she is usually clumsy in doing things. As you just saw, she can even drop a piece of water. , she is really not suitable for acting, she doesn’t have that talent.”

Relatively speaking, the agent spoke much more tactfully, as if he was thinking about Xu Nan both inside and outside his words, and he sounded much nicer than Zhang Qingqing.

Xu Nan shook his head: "I think I know better than you as a director about who to choose as the protagonist of the movie."

"Little girl, you don't have to worry about anything else. Just tell me if you want to act and if you want to be a star."

The little girl nodded immediately: "Of course I do."

She is not an idiot and understands what Xu Nan's words mean to her.

No one is willing to be called around every day.

She was so humble before just because she had no choice. Now that there is an opportunity to change her destiny in front of her, of course she will not give up.

One is to continue to be a humble assistant who suffers every day, and the other is to become a glamorous star. Even fools know how to choose.

Xu Nan smiled: "Okay, the decision is yours."

"By the way, what's your name?"

Xu Nan suddenly realized that he didn't know the little girl's name yet.

It's a bit abrupt to invite someone to be an actor without even knowing their name. If word gets out about it, many people will be speechless.

The little girl said seriously: "My name is Li Ruoshui, Li from Muzi Li, Ruoshui from Ruoshui."

Xu Nan nodded: "Li Ruoshui, what a good name."

Li Ruoshui and Li Shiqing happened to both have the surname Li. This was fate.

The more Xu Nan looked at Li Ruoshui, the more satisfied he became, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

"Let's go, let's sign the contract first, and when the time comes, we'll join the set for filming."

With that said, Xu Nan was about to take Li Ruoshui back to sign the contract.

"Stop." Zhang Qingqing said anxiously: "She is my assistant and can't leave without my permission."

Xu Nan frowned.

Li Ruoshui looked at Zhang Qingqing angrily.

This woman is really bad. Seeing how good her external image is, I thought that being an assistant would be very comfortable, but I didn't expect that she would be tortured every day after she arrived.

Now there is a better opportunity for development, but she is still blocked.

The manager quickly patted Zhang Qingqing and forced a smile.

"What Qingqing means is that after all we have worked together, it would be too rude to leave like this. It would be the same thing to leave after having a meal."

"No"

Zhang Qingqing opened her mouth to say something, but her manager pinched her quickly and cut her off.

In the manager's opinion, Zhang Qingqing's attempt to prevent his assistant from leaving was stupid. He is just your assistant, not your slave, so why should you stop him.

To put it bluntly, it is a job, and people can quit it at any time if they want to.

Instead of meaninglessly trying to be the bad guy to stop them, it's better to get together and get together and form a good relationship.

It's a pity that Zhang Qingqing grew up in the entertainment industry, was spoiled in a big dyeing vat, and was so arrogant that he never thought of this.

Xu Nan shook his head: "There's no need to eat. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Xu Nan took Li Ruoshui away directly.

"Damn it." Zhang Qingqing gritted her teeth angrily.

The manager frowned: "Qingqing, you are getting more and more irritable now. This is not good. If your fans see it, things will be in trouble."

"I know you don't want to see this assistant become popular, but you can't be so obvious. She is your assistant and someone close to you. If she hates you, do you know how much trouble it will be?"

Zhang Qingqing was still in awe of the agent and reluctantly said: "I understand."

The agent smiled and said: "You are too worried. Although Xu Nan is famous, he only got it by making bad movies and spoof films. This time he wants to switch to making high-quality movies. It is not certain whether he can succeed. If you don’t, you might be thrown into the street.”

Zhang Qingqing was very happy now and agreed: "Yes, it will definitely hit the market. Good movies are not so easy to make. Even great directors fail sometimes, let alone Xu Nan."

"They even chose an amateur as an actor. It's so unreliable. It will definitely fail."

With Li Ruoshui, Xu Nan left Morning Star Entertainment.

Downstairs, Yu Fei is waiting for him in the car.

Yu Fei was shocked to see Xu Nan returning with an amateur. When he learned that this was the heroine of the movie chosen by Xu Nan, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Back at the company, Yu Fei asked while Li Ruoshui was away.

"Mr. Xu, are you sure you want to choose her?"

Although I am not very satisfied with Zhang Qingqing's attitude, Zhang Qingqing is a good choice whether it is in terms of fame, image, popularity, etc.

But why should this amateur named Li Ruoshui do it?

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, I have already thought about it and chose her to be the heroine of our movie."

Yu Fei whispered: "But she is an amateur."

Xu Nan said in a deep voice: "I know."

In fact, Xu Nan was very aware of Yu Fei's concerns.

Why do many film and television dramas have to choose famous actors when filming? Isn’t it said that the content is the most important?

That's because actors bring their own fans. Many times, when viewers watch a movie, the first thing they pay attention to is the movie's lineup. If a movie stars a well-known actor, and another movie stars an unknown actor, the former is definitely more likely to attract fans than the latter. audience.

This is also the fundamental reason why film and television companies invite stars.

Li Ruoshui is indeed more suitable for the role of Li Shiqing in "The Beginning" than Zhang Qingqing, but the audience doesn't know that.

They only know Zhang Qingqing. As for Li Ruoshui, who is that?

But after careful consideration, Xu Nan finally decided to choose Li Ruoshui.

Regardless, movie quality is what matters most.

Li Ruoshui is the most suitable candidate for Li Shiqing. With her joining, the quality of the film will definitely be raised to a higher level.

Choosing an amateur actor will definitely affect the film's reputation to a certain extent, but it is not a big problem for Xu Nan.

Because he is a famous director.

If an ordinary director chooses an unknown amateur, that is almost tantamount to courting death.

But the famous director chose an amateur, which will arouse the curiosity of the audience and the media.

For example, our director Zhang chose an amateur in "Hawthorn Love" and immediately made Zhou Pingping a second-tier star. And our director Zhou, after choosing Miss Lin in "Mermaid", she quickly became a hot star. .

Great directors have such willful confidence.

And Xu Nan is a great director. Choosing amateur actors will indeed bring certain adverse effects, but he has the confidence to bear it.

Now that Xu Nan had made up his mind, the people in the company had nothing to say and agreed to let Li Ruoshui play Li Shiqing.

Because this girl is a pure amateur, the price when signing the contract was very cheap, almost a scrap price.

For this reason, Li Ruoshui would like to thank Xu Nan profusely for giving her this opportunity.

In order to avoid affecting the filming of the crew, Xu Nan also specially found an acting teacher for Li Ruoshui to provide emergency training.

Having found the actor Li Shiqing, this does not mean that Xu Nan can relax.

But "The Beginning" also has many important characters, such as the game architect Xiao Heyun who experienced reincarnation with Li Shiqing, the bus driver, and Guo Auntie who carries explosives, etc.

After careful consideration, Xu Nan gave the role of Xiao Heyun to Zhang Wei, the actor who had played the leading actor of Peak Film and Television countless times.

This brother's acting skills are nothing to say, but he's just unlucky and has acted in many movies and TV dramas that were lukewarm.

Considering that we had collaborated many times before and the image was more suitable, Xu Nan simply gave him the role of Xiao Heyun.

Xu Nan conducted an open casting process for the driver, the bomb-carrying aunt, and the remaining roles. After careful selection, they selected suitable actors who best suited the roles in terms of image and acting skills. A sort of.

Time flies by in the intense film preparations. Summit Films is a mature film and television production company with rich experience.

Xu Nan himself is also a veteran, and small problems such as venue props are quickly solved.

In late April, after the preliminary preparations for the film were completed, Xu Nan started filming immediately without any delay.

"beginning".

Officially set sail.
