Chapter 25 The focus of the movie is to find a fierce and long-legged heroine
"Seven days?"
Liu Yang hesitated and said: "This is too short."
Xu Nan shook his head: "This time is not short. If you follow the process well, it will be no problem to finish a movie in seven days."
In the previous life, Asylum Pictures was able to do this, produce a movie with a complete plot in seven days, and then release it before the movies they copied, oh no, borrowed from.
Looking at Liu Yang's troubled expression, Xu Nankai explained.
"Old Liu, don't worry about whether you can do it or not. Just try to do it first."
"Also, by the way, let me tell you the key points of making this movie."
"First, find a heroine with a thin waist, long legs, and fierceness."
Liu Yang nodded: "I understand this."
Isn't that what Mr. Xu did when filming the last movie? Just follow suit.
"Second, find a heroine with fierce legs and long legs."
"Uh, there's no need to repeat this," Liu Yang said softly.
Xu Nan glanced at Liu Yang and said loudly again: "Third, we still need to find a heroine with fierce and long legs."
"The reason why I have to say it three times is because this point is very important and affects the success or failure of the movie."
"As for filming the scene over and over again, props can be as cheap as possible. I don't need to repeat these small details. I can just film them once according to the way I shot the last movie."
This is the really important point. Why did you leave it at the end and say it in such an understatement?
Liu Yang complained in his heart, but on the surface he nodded repeatedly, looking like he had been taught something.
Xu Nan nodded, "Very good, you will be responsible for the preparations for the movie."
What about you, Mr. Xu? Liu Yang said doubtfully.
Xu Nan smiled: "I have more important things to do. The company has no future if we just shoot bad movies. We also need to shoot some real 'blockbusters'."
When he mentioned "blockbuster", the smile on Xu Nan's face suddenly deepened.
Liu Yang suddenly realized what Mr. Xu meant.
Make money from bad movies, and then use the money to make serious movies.
By walking on two legs at the same time, the company's development can be more stable.
As expected, Mr. Xu is a wise man, and he has a bright future with such a boss.
Liu Yang is confident and will take action immediately to prepare a new movie.
"By the way, Lao Liu, do you know where there is a gym nearby? I want to exercise." Xu Nan suddenly asked.
Liu Yang replied: "There is one in the community with complete facilities."
Xu Nan shook his head: "That one is no good, it doesn't meet my requirements."
"I want to practice fighting, and I want to be able to fight in real combat. I need to find a qualified coach."
Liu Yang shook his head: "Then I don't know."
"Forget it, you can continue to prepare the movie, I will find it myself."
Xu Nan waved his hand and asked Liu Yang to go about his business.
In the next few days, Liu Yang was busy preparing for the movie, and Xu Nan was also busy looking for a new company venue.
Now that the company has money, it can no longer stay in a rental house, otherwise it will be difficult to negotiate business.
Moreover, the company cannot always have only two people, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything and there will not be enough manpower.
Although it mainly makes money from filming bad movies, it still needs key employees.
A few days passed quickly, and Xu Nan found a new company venue with affordable prices and a good environment.
By the way, he also found ten employees, who were mainly selected from the shooting team of the previous film.
The number of employees at Summit Film and Television has rapidly expanded to twelve.
Liu Yang also quickly completed the initial preparations for the film and found a fierce and long-legged heroine named Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying also came from a major and had only played some minor roles before. This time she knew she could be the heroine, and she was extremely excited.
She also checked the company Summit Film and Television and roughly knew what kind of movie she wanted to shoot.
Even though it’s a bad movie to make.
But she is a heroine. Even if she is a heroine in a bad movie, she is still a heroine, and it is a rare qualification to speak out.
Didn’t you see that the heroine of the previous movie, Elaine Chao, has gained a lot of popularity through the movie, and her number of fans has increased by tens of thousands.
This is her example.
When choosing the heroine, Xu Nan took a special look and made a decision on the spot.
Fierce, with long legs and a pretty face.
The perfect movie heroine.
Acting?
that's not important.
Other main actors, male protagonists, etc., will be selected first from the co-actors in the previous film.
In two days, Liu Yang managed to recruit the entire crew of a film crew.
Although the number of people is small, although funds are scarce, and although the props are rubbish.
However, a crew has everything they need to ensure a complete movie.
Many people here have filmed "Along the River on a Qingming Festival" with Xu Nan, and they know very well how to film next.
Quality is not important, speed is key.
After spending a day filming with Liu Yang on the set and confirming that Liu Yang understood his spirit well, Xu Nan gave up.
He has more important things to do.
Although it is possible to make money just by shooting bad movies, it is still not safe enough.
Just like Shelter Pictures, while making bad movies, they also don't forget to make original blockbusters.
For example, it was so shocking that it made people want to complain about it, but they couldn't help but want to watch it anyway, and filmed six consecutive Sharknado movies.
Xu Nan is studying Shelter Film Industry, and of course she also has to shoot some original blockbusters.
As a director, he is also ambitious and hopes to become a world-renowned director one day.
Just like Brother Bao.
In order to learn from Brother Bao, he even spent a lot of money to hire a fighting coach, waiting for the day when he would become a blockbuster.
Since it is a blockbuster film, it cannot be compared to other films like "Along the River on a Sunny Day" and "Taoist Bian Shan".
Although Pengci movies can make money, they cannot make him famous.
Blockbusters must be original and must make money.
Xu Nan originally planned to write a movie script first, but then he thought about it. This blockbuster is used to make money. The script is not important, but the actors are.
He quickly searched online to see if there were suitable actors. Only when the actors were selected could he create a suitable script.
This world is the same as the previous life. Most actors do not have the ability to carry the box office. The few actors who can carry the box office are extremely expensive.
If you want to hire them to make a movie, you will definitely not be able to do it if you don’t have enough money, and when you get to the crew, you need to serve them like your ancestors and satisfy them.
For these actors who can carry the box office, but are very expensive and not easy to direct, Xu Nan immediately rejected them.
What he is looking for is the kind of actor who is easier to fool, and preferably the kind who has a certain degree of popularity and is easy to operate.
Xu Nan kept searching on the Internet, and suddenly, a hot post attracted his attention.
"Princess Shenhua, please don't come down to earth and cause harm to the entertainment industry, okay?"
