(On the day of the last update, I fell ill.,I can't hold on to it after I barely finish writing.,The second half of August was interrupted.,Continue now.。 )

As of the beginning of June of '86, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" can be regarded as the hottest movie in the United States, and it is also the craziest step movie, and it has almost determined the status of the box office champion of the year in less than half a year.

This film can't make money, it's not good, the movie story from the 21st century, after the Oscar Best Screenplay Mo Fei, an experienced person who has come over, has adapted it, a new oriental kung fu-style action interpretation, a strong and hot gunfight scene, and one of the most popular female stars at the moment, Zhong Chuhong, and Pierce Brosnan, who has been tirelessly pursued by many companies, as the male and female protagonists, almost have all the factors of a money-making movie.

Of course, the strong push of Columbia is also a very important reason. Perhaps it is the continuous success of the past two years that has had a great impact, and Columbia is even more optimistic about this film than Phoenix Culture, and even postponed the original "Weilong Kid" publicity plan, and invested more manpower and material resources in the film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

In the original history, the North American film market in 86 was Paramount's most dazzling time, and three of the top five movies at the annual box office were produced by Paramount.

A classic air combat movie "Top Gun" not only won the North American and global box office championship that year, but also led to the popularity of Ray-Ban sunglasses and Air Force flight jackets, and the actor Tom Tom also became the main spokesperson of Ray-Ban, and blatantly advertised Ray-Ban in many subsequent movies. Even the U.S. Air Force has seen a significant increase in enrolment.

The other two films are "Crocodile Dundee", which ranked second, and "Star Trek 4: Save the Future", which ranked fifth, and "Crocodile Dundee". It followed "Top Gun" closely, with a score of 320 million US dollars, and together with the first place, it won an excellent result of nearly 700 million US dollars, which was really remarkable in the 80s.

However, in the current history, because of the disturbance, the situation is very different. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was born. It was also released on Friday, but it won $10.7 million at the box office in just three days, and "Top Gun", which was released two weeks ago, was more than 2 million. Although it is far from the final settlement of the box office after the necrosis. But it is already certain that the chance of this film becoming the champion of the year is at least eighty percent.

"Top Gun", which was originally released in 05, was hyped through the scandals and marriage changes of the heroes and heroines, and the box office bought more than 50 million. But the results began to slip later. In the end, it stayed at the North American box office of 180 million US dollars, and it is not too much to say that it is anticlimactic. Fortunately, in the 21st century, where entertainment and information are highly attached, and because of various hype methods, it finally won more than $400 million at the global box office.

But in the 80s, there weren't so many hype gimmicks, and the average ticket price was more than a dollar lower than in '05, so it was not easy to reach that high box office.

However, judging from the box office, Mo Fei is still very satisfied. Although movie tickets are cheaper. But the movie audience in this era is more than in 05 years, and the box office of 10 million is even more calm. And the response of the movie audience is also very good, according to this trend, even if it does not reach the original box office of more than 400 million, it will be able to pass "Top Gun" steadily.

It stands to reason that the box office of "Top Gun" of 350 million is very high, and in terms of the proportion of movie ticket prices, it is almost impossible for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" to want it, but there are more factors in this.

Originally, 86 years in history was the era of Paramount's glory, and "Top Gun" had no competitors at all in the same period, and it was a movie that told the story of American heroes, so it was natural to get a good score.

But now that there is a competitor, and a strong competitor, it is very interesting to say who will die in the end. In terms of casting, Zhong Chuhong, who has become popular in Berlin and Cannes, is definitely more attractive than Tom Tom, whose status has not been completely consolidated, and has Brosnan, a recent topical character, the combination of the two is definitely much more eye-catching than "Top Gun"; And MGM's blush has also become a good booster, so that the attention of this movie has always been in the front row.

In addition, it is propaganda, Columbia has put a lot of effort into publicity, and Phoenix Culture America has also put a lot of effort into it, which is definitely not low compared to Paramount's formation. This is especially true in markets outside of North America, where the vaunted heroism of Americans meets the iron and rose of romanticism, and without even too much propaganda, the impact is naturally overcome.

And the most important thing is the audience, because the number of screens will not change, so the number of audiences is so much, it is impossible to watch this at the same time, and the difference will become bigger and bigger. The longer one is "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", especially in the Asian market and the European market, Zhong Chuhong's attraction is definitely several grades higher than that of the young Tom, and "Love Actually" at the beginning of the year also added a lot of fire to Brosnan, to be honest, Brosnan is indeed more handsome than Tom, and the gap between them is even more obvious.

For the box office performance, Mo Fei was naturally very satisfied and even a little happy, but the ensuing troubles made him a little unhappy. Because MGM has made a heart-warming condition, if Brosnan can play the leading role in the next "OO7" series, MGM is willing to co-invest in the production with Phoenix Culture, and can even add more oriental elements and actors from Phoenix Culture.

What is this, this is a great opportunity to expand its influence. Don't look at the current Phoenix culture is very powerful, and there are a lot of popular actors, but compared to the influence, it is much worse than the eight major Hollywood companies, and being able to cooperate with MGM is still such a classic film, it takes more courage to refuse.

More importantly, with the gradual rise of Phoenix culture. Hollywood's big-name studios are bound to carry out a campaign of encirclement and suppression to brutally suppress this rising star. For Phoenix Culture. Now is the time when allies are needed, and pulling a batch to fight a batch is the most correct choice. Companies like Disney and Warner hardly work together, and MGM is a good choice.

But for these old film companies, Mo Fei's understanding will not be less. Don't look at MGM's current weak trend, it needs to rely on the cooperation of Phoenix Culture to recover, but once it eases up. The first thing to clean up is the Phoenix culture, and the credibility of the Yankees is very unguaranteed.

It's not that he didn't have an idea, he even thought about cooperating with MGM to expand the Phoenix culture. Let the company completely take root in the North American market, and then try to replace MGM when it has not completely turned over, but the success rate of doing so is quite low.

In a dilemma, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. With a bold idea. For now, I still choose to analyze and investigate before making a plan. The filming plan of the next "oo7" will take a long time, so don't refuse or accept, put this matter off for a while, see if your plan is feasible, and then make plans.

For this bold plan, Mo Fei couldn't even believe that he had thought of it. Phoenix Culture is indeed doing well now, and it has a lot of money in its hands, not only through the Phoenix series of companies. There is also a lot of money in the financial market. But if you really want to buy MGM, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

Fortunately, if you have self-knowledge and understand that you can't do such a thing, why not leave it to a professional person to do it, isn't there a big god of wealth at home?

After thinking about it for a while, looking at the watch, it was just afternoon in Hong Kong, Mo Fei picked up the phone and dialed Dai Caishen's eldest brother: "Nancy, are you busy now?" ”

Listening to Mo Fei's words, Dai Mozhen knew that she should be talking about serious things, otherwise she would definitely be playing a hooligan tone when she opened her mouth, shook her head that was a little dazed because of looking at the data, and then made a smile to herself, she was alone in the office, and she didn't know who she was looking for.

Said: "It's okay, it's not too busy, do you have any instructions?" ”

For Dai Caishen, after such a period of time, Mo Fei can be regarded as a better understanding, according to the three good women who can go out of the hall, enter the kitchen, and get the gums, one by one, "Lord Boss" screams, which can always cause him to be angry.

But now is not the time to think about those things, Demi Moore, bedding in the United States, happened to be on the set in the past two days, and it was not a good thing to really catch fire, he couldn't just find someone to solve it, he had never done that kind of thing, and he didn't want to have something similar happen to him.

hurriedly suppressed the little caterpillar in his heart, and said, "I'm alone now, are you responsible for causing the fire?" Today is to get down to business with you. ”

Dai Mozhen on the other side of the phone giggled and said, "If you are responsible, you will be responsible, what's the big deal, or I will go to be responsible now?" No, what about your little American lover, it shouldn't be that she left you, but don't you have a little cousin, why don't you go to her? ”

Today's Mo Fei and Dai Mo Zhen are also husband and wife who are about to get a license, and the prenuptial agreement has been signed. And Dai Mozhen occasionally plays a small game of catching rape in the main room, and it is not taboo even between the beds, which is a different kind of stimulation, which makes Mo Fei feel very excited, of course, this also makes Dai Caishen an important trick to maintain the relationship between the two.

Originally, he just wanted to talk about things, but Dai Mozhen's reminder here made him think even more, this matter also needs to be investigated and analyzed in the United States, so it is better to do it like this.

smiled and said: "Your proposal is really good, why don't you come to the United States now, this matter also needs you to come here." ”

Dai Caishen just wanted to tease him a little, who knew that this guy was such a cannonball, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, the joke ends here." Don't say that I really want to go to the United States to accompany you, in the past two days, I have been investigating the information about Standard Chartered Bank, and my head is about to explode, so let's talk about your business, so that I can change my brain. ”

"Nancy, no kidding. I'm just telling you seriously, this really needs you to come to the United States. Of course, what you want is to kill two birds with one stone, and it is really delicious to say that Dai Caishen is really delicious. Since this time, life and work have not been wrong, and said: "You will come tomorrow, this time I am going to make a big move, the acquisition of MGM." ”

"Buying MGM?" Dai Mozhen was a little incredulous, this is not easier than taking advantage of the chaos in the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, how big is this man going to play, and asked, "Are you sure it's not your own hot head." Or is it because of friction with MGM, so that's why you are angry at business? ”

It's not without reason and basis for Dai Mozhen to think so, maybe he has a criminal record. Although the legend is outrageous, he wants to target Jardine Matheson. Guan Da Beauty is not completely useless in it; In addition, his plan to acquire Sing Tao Newspaper was also because of friction.

But I feel very wronged, it is simply a strange injustice through the ages, and Dai Caishen is also his own fan no matter how he says it. Now she is still her own woman. It's not unfamiliar with all kinds of entertainment news, hasn't she tasted some flavor from the recent entertainment news. Speaking of the most simple and straightforward place, Phoenix Culture wants to really play big in the United States, this kind of thing has to be done sooner or later, it is impossible for her as a big housekeeper to be unaware, not to mention that she has not shown relevant meaning before, but the plan is in advance.

He exhaled heavily and said, "Am I going to be hot-headed about this kind of thing?" Besides, I'm not the kind of person who makes up my mind with a pat on the head, and I can't do it in a short time. The various interests in it are complicated to death, and it will take at least more than a year to be enough, and now you are just going to understand it first, and be ready to start at any time. ”

There is a simple estimate of the time, it seems that it is really going to be done, and Dai Mozhen is no longer vague and joking at the moment. Of course, men's affairs will be put in a more important position, and after the two set a time on the phone, Dai Caishen immediately handed over the work at hand to someone else, and asked the secretary to book her the fastest ticket to the United States.

……

Dai Mozhen's plane will not arrive in Los Angeles until the next night local time in the United States, so he will also take advantage of this time to solve another matter, which is also very important to Phoenix Culture.

Speaking of which, it shouldn't have been so complicated, but memory is sometimes not very reliable. Maybe when you want to find something from your memory, you can do it easily, but if you want to let the memory automatically remind you of something, the difficulty is not ordinary, after all, no one's brain can be in the brain.

If it weren't for the pursuit of intuitive feelings, he insisted on contributing a box office to "Top Gun", the box office rival of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", this matter would have been completely delayed.

It is said that after Honggu and Du Qifeng and others left the United States and returned to Hong Kong, they took Demi Moore housewarming to buy tickets to watch "Top Gun", saying that this film is really good, although he watched Blu-ray discs in his previous life, he still felt like he was in a movie theater.

When he saw the movie halfway, Mo Fei was suddenly stunned when he looked at a supporting actor on the screen, and he didn't even feel Demi Moore kissing him next to him. This is also to give Demi Moore no name and no points, if she changes to Honggu, it is estimated that she will have to screw him twice.

But Mo Fei kept complaining about himself in his mind at that time, since he came to this era, it is said that he has tapped a lot of potential actors, but how can he forget this actor, it is simply too undeserved.

Hollywood sweet sister Meg Ryan, with her sweet image and smile has attracted countless fans, known as the 'American sweetheart', and the 'American sweetheart' before her is the Canadian actor Mary Pinkerford, who was born in the 19th century, that is, the one who founded one of the eight major Hollywood film companies with Chaplin and others. She is also the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress and Lifetime Achievement, and one of the founders of the American Film Institute.

Meg Ryan can inherit the title of 'American sweetheart' after Mary Pinkerford, you can imagine her status and influence in the hearts of Hollywood and American fans, this is an absolute potential stock, it is enough to bring fame and benefits to a film company, how can you not accept it.

Mo Fei and Phoenix are now very famous, but if they want to win an actor in the fertile soil of Hollywood, and they are also potential actors who have been favored by many directors and film companies, fame alone is still a little enough, there must be something enough to attract actors, and for an actor, there is nothing more attractive than a popular movie.

Today's Meg Ryan has not yet been called the 'American sweetheart', and the image of Hollywood's sweet sister has not yet been established, and it is still in the early stage of exhibition, of course, it can't be set off by her works after she became famous, but this problem is not a problem at all in terms of Mo Fei, you can use her famous works, we don't lack this the most, right?

So, there was this visit to the two founders of the future Castle Rock Entertainment, Rob Reiner, Andy Shainman, and the film's screenwriter Nora Ephron.

These three people were originally very good friends, and they had been working together for a long time, and finally in 87 years, the first two co-founded their own film production company Castle Rock with a few friends, and cooperated with the company to produce movies and produce many excellent movies. The "Miss Beauty Pageant" that Phoenix Culture has filmed is the original work of Castle Stone, and the most famous is the famous "The Shawshank Redemption".

and Meg Ryan's famous work "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle", which established her status in Hollywood; and Demi Moore's stunning "Stripper" and the $200 million box office hit "Few Good People", all of which are Castle Stone's works.

In other words, this visit is not just to collaborate on a movie, he also hopes that through this preemptive "When Harry Meets Sally", these three filmmakers with a very set of sets can be brought to Phoenix Culture, even if it is a joint venture to build a new film company, and even the name has been thought of, it will be called 'Castle Stone Pictures'. It's a little shameless, but it's a good name, isn't it?

Rob Reiner, Andy Scheinman, and Nora Ephron often work together, and as long as one of them is contacted, the other two can be found, and the same method is used, so that the people in the company can first find Rob Reiner, the backbone of the three, and make an appointment to meet at their place of work.

If you want to get such a talent, you must show enough sincerity and strength, otherwise why should people do it with you.

Greeting each other after meeting is the simplest and most basic courtesy. Next, Mo Fei didn't have too many greetings, and directly talked about the professional: "I came to meet the three of you today, I have a small idea to talk about, I heard that you are working on a script about the impossibility of maintaining a mere friend relationship between friends of the opposite sex, and I have had similar ideas here for a long time, and I have already had a basically formed script." The three of them are all very powerful talents in the film industry, I don't know if they are interested in cooperating with this film, Mr. Reiner, you will be the director, Mr. Shaynman and Ms. Ephron will be in charge of the production, and you can account for 30% of the shares in this film......"

But the ideal is plump, but the reality is extremely skinny. Could it be that in order not to startle the snake, he didn't even say anything about the cooperative company, and was going to talk about it after the movie was released to make money, but even so, it was not negotiated.

Rob Reiner didn't know if he had an opinion on Mo Fei's dislike, or on Phoenix culture, or if he fundamentally had a different opinion on the Chinese, in short, he didn't wait for Mo Fei to say anything, so he directly chose to refuse to cooperate.

I don't think it's time to lose weight for my ideals, at least don't have too many illusions about some people, only after you are strong enough, you can think about it.

But it doesn't matter, all the content of this film is ready-made, and this has been found, and the sincerity is complete enough. This is your own choice, don't blame my brother for not giving you a chance when the time comes, then let it be nonsense about what castle stone, we will make a good movie.

Isn't there anything that has stolen other people's creativity and hard work, these guys are all foreign devils, and they are very impolite foreign devils, as the so-called 'non-my race will have different hearts', even if it's a little exaggerated, it won't be too far, who called my brother to cross and be reborn, and I also bullied and bullied the Americans, which feels very cool.
