Chapter 325, Rush for Time
With such a small episode, not to mention Mo Fei, Nicolas Cage and Summerer were also a little less comfortable, quickly finished talking about what should be finalized, and left in less than an hour.
"Nicholas, it seems that Phoenix Culture attaches great importance to this "Courier", the heroine arranged for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film to play the actor, that should be the actor they want to focus on. The current Phoenix culture is still in the initial stage of development, and it definitely needs some actors who have been working with us for a long time, and I think you can do it, so Nicholas, you must play this movie well, so that we can continue to talk about future cooperation. While driving this car, Summerer was kind to Nicholas, and no matter how hard it was for his money bag, it was worth it.
Nicolas Cage didn't listen to this sentence much, he was thinking about what he told him before leaving, "Nicholas, first of all, I don't have a hobby of listening to other people's **, and I only heard this news inadvertently, so you must not think that I have other purposes." If it's convenient, can you help me bring a message to Mr. Coppola? I have a film that I want to ask him to be the producer, of course not now, the film won't start until next year, I just want to confirm his schedule and make arrangements. But don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with our cooperation, whether Mr. Coppola agrees or not, we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. ”
Nicolas Cage believes that Mo Fei really has no other meaning, with Mo Fei now has a pretty good reputation, it is impossible for the proposed film contract even the four major Hollywood directors to refuse without considering it, if it is a good script, even if it is directed in person, it is no problem.
He wondered who had heard of him from and was sure that he was the nephew of the elder Coppola, something that even Johnny Depp didn't know. Or maybe it's his former classmates, every one of the Caltech students is superb, and it's possible that they can know the news. But whatever, it's not a big deal.
Then I turned my head to look at my agent, I really don't know what to say about him, his mind is really good, and his activity ability is relatively strong, but he cares too much about the gains and losses of money, and his utilitarianism is too heavy. I don't know if it's right to work with him all the time. Let's go back and ask my uncle's opinion, anyway, Mo Fei said that there will be many opportunities to cooperate in the future, and I must not disclose it to him now.
Sent away Nicolas Cage and his agent, but after cleaning up here, he was going to accompany the eldest lady to eat good food, according to Miss He's request, it was still the same routine as last time. It's just that this time it's a little longer, and there are about two hours before dinner, and it's also requisitioned to go shopping.
Mo Fei doesn't know what's wrong with herself, she seems to care more and more about He Chaoqiong's feelings, obviously there is nothing between the two, but she just has to think about what she thinks and thinks, this is obviously the state of feelings to sprout. Because of the crossing. Could it be that he is more concerned about some supernatural phenomena, and sometimes he even thinks about whether he was tricked by Miss He or something, or whether his trip to travel through the underworld has anything to do with He Chaoqiong.
……
This time I returned to Hong Kong for the Chinese New Year, and I don't know how long it will take to come to the United States, Demi Moore will certainly not let go of the opportunity of this last night, and she waited in the room early, and the two were entangled to death. After a night of tossing, he returned to his new apartment in the early morning light.
The result of such a night of tossing is that Miss He once again discovered the clues, even though Demi Moore has changed the perfume, she is still ruthlessly exposed by the keen He Chaoqiong, and seriously despises it.
"Amo, you're a pervert. That foreign girl came into your room again yesterday, didn't you, what can you do if you don't do those things for a day, you shouldn't have that kind of excitement, right? ”
"What are you talking about, I went back to the hotel last night and washed up and went to bed. How can there be any mess you said, don't just wronged people. Moreover, you're a girl, don't always talk about color embryos or something, how ruin your image. Of course I won't admit it.
"You just make it up, anyway, you're the best storyteller in Hong Kong." He Chaoqiong pursed her lips with an expression of contempt for you, and said: "Don't forget, I'm a woman, and many things are more than yours, although the smell of perfume in your room has changed, but people who use this kind of perfume will generally use the previous one." And your room has been cleaned up yesterday afternoon, and it is impossible to smell of perfume anymore, and you say that if someone hadn't come at night, would it be a thief? ”
Come on, this is the end of doing bad things, being about to point at your nose and despise, and you can't resist at all. This woman must have been a pig in her last life, and her nose is smarter than that of a dog. I really doubt that I was a butcher in my last life, and I had a life-and-death enmity with her, and I have to go through this life to pay off my debts.
Depressed and depressed to the company for a trip, arranged the work of gold, gave everyone a red envelope, after the money was dispersed, the mood also calmed down a little, Mo Fei said that this is not cheap, scattered wealth but comfortable.
After coming out of the company, I met with Meryl Streep's family of four, and about 20 people rushed to the airport, and the flight arrived in Hong Kong at about 11 o'clock in the morning at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, just enough time to make arrangements.
It's just that every time I take a plane like this, I will have a feeling of panic, when I get on the plane, it is still Monday morning, and after more than ten hours, it will become Tuesday afternoon, and all the time earned when I come will be returned, and this account is a loss.
Meryl's two children, one was just six years old in the winter, and the other was less than three years old, and none of them went to school. Americans don't have the Spring Festival either, so they can take advantage of the crew to take their children to play in Hong Kong for two days while the crew is resting, and it can be said that this film appointment is the most lenient one, filming with family members, which is super preferential treatment.
Mo Fei looked at the two-year-old girl very interestingly, squatting on the side to play with the little guy, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a big-bellied woman not far away.
Child, pregnant woman, it seems that something is wrong. Mo Fei suddenly looked back at Aunt Mei's stomach and looked over, there was nothing flat, how could it be a pregnant woman, at this moment, it felt like she was in a dream, the whole world was so unreal.
I have been thinking about the problem of the movie before, and the memory is not so deep, so people completely ignore a problem, Meryl Streep should also have a big belly at this time, otherwise how did the "Heart Fire" come about. But now she is not pregnant, and she has not heard of the "Heart Fire", which is completely unscientific, no, it should be said that it is completely unreal.
After more than two minutes, Mo Fei's posture and expression did not change at all, and the little girl named Mamie scratched his leg several times and did not respond. It wasn't until Wu Long came over to block the light that he returned to reality because of visual problems.
"Mr. Mo, the American company just received a call from Hong Kong, the box office of "Ransom Storm" on the first day of release was very good, winning 2.8 million, and the attendance rate was above 90%, according to this momentum, it should be no problem to reach about 50 million. The recent box office statistics of "Love Actually" have also been announced, and the total box office in Asia has exceeded 140 million, and the record of "Party A and Party B" is just around the corner. ”
This passage also completely brought Mo Fei back to reality, he is not dreaming now, but living a real life, the 140 million Asian pre-box office made him feel very uncomfortable, and even felt a little pain, the pain is very real, this is a feeling that you can't dream of.
The box office of "Love Actually" will surpass that of "Party A and Party B", which was certain before the film started filming, but what I didn't expect was that the gap between the two would be so big. Last year's "Party A and Party B" bought more than 220 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia, which was more than a month's achievement, and this "True Love First" has only been on Hong Kong for about two weeks, and Southeast Asia has been on for more than a week, and Japan has "The Silence of the Lambs" to compete, in such an environment, they both took 140 million, which shows that the two movies are not on the same plane at all.
I always think that I can make Chinese movies develop rapidly, and I always feel that although Chinese films in my previous life are not as good as Europe and the United States, they also have a lot of merits, but now it seems that I am just comforting myself, which I dare not face from my heart.
It's like an ostrich that buries its head in the sand and feels that the whole world is in darkness; Or like a turtle, it always suffocates in its shell and doesn't come out. But why does the turtle hide in its shell and can't come out, it's because it doesn't have shark teeth and is strong, so if you want to make yourself free, you have to use shark teeth.
Chinese films started late, and the local market in Hong Kong is too small, and the Southeast Asian, Japanese and Korean markets alone can't feed this ever-growing sponge fish, and even survival is a problem, so what do you want to forge ahead. If we want to solve this problem, we must start from the root, not only to train first-class actors and directors, but also to keep up with other aspects, while vigorously developing the film market and further integrating with the European and American film industries, talent and technology production must be strengthened, and schools are a very critical point, and we must prepare for this.
At this time, Mo Fei had already calmed down, settled on a general concept, and then looked back and remembered his vigilance just now. The crossing is indeed a crossing, but there are many things that have changed with it, Lin Qingxia was born eight years late, and Aunt Mei's belly that should have been big has disappeared, this is all real, and the fate of several people around him has also changed a lot. What has changed and what hasn't changed in this world, many things are completely different from what I remember. What will change next, will there be anything that they can't accept, and how much will have an adverse impact on themselves, these are still unknown and cannot be guaranteed, since it is unknown, it is impossible to guarantee, it is necessary to control these unfavorable factors within the minimum range, and strive for everything that can be fought for as soon as possible, paving a road to the sky for their future, and it is time to grab the key point of time, and start ruthlessly when necessary.
