Chapter 255, Black Pearl
(Don't talk about Linchen in the future, it's a failure.) )
"The Silence of the Lambs" was finally completed, with 27 days of filming and 10 days of post-production, and it was finally completed in time for mid-October.
This speed is not fast in the Hong Kong film industry, which produces a film in ten and a half days, and some directors who catch up can shoot it in a week when they go crazy, and they don't even want a script, but it will be slow in 27 days.
It's the first time to be a director, and there is such a speed, which is enough to surprise everyone. And this is still a thriller and suspense film, not a purely funny comedy, which is very remarkable.
The directors of Phoenix Culture, from the veteran Wu Yusen and Xu Anhua, to the youngest Du Qifeng and Zhang Wanyao, none of them did not express their admiration.
Even Wang Jing, who has always been known for his speed, had to give Mo Fei a thumbs up and say in admiration: "Amo, I really convince you." I sometimes wonder how long your head is, you have to be a head above others in everything, you are very bad like this, it will make everyone very shameless. ”
"Soon, I don't think so." Mo Fei didn't give any face to such a compliment, and pouted: "It took me more than a month to make the script in advance, and it took a lot of time to prepare for props and other things, and there are no particularly time-consuming shots in this film, which is already very slow." ”
Wang Jing originally wanted to praise Mo Fei a few more words to lay the foundation for his next words, but his serious attitude made him unable to say anything to praise. had to speak directly and said, "Amo, when are you going to shoot that naval battle movie?" Are the actors all arranged? ”
Mo Fei knew that this fat man was definitely not at ease, so he glanced at him and said, "The actor has already been booked, who are you going to help intercede, what did you do earlier?" ”
"It's not about intercession, it's about seriously recommending an actor to you." Wang Jing corrected: "This guy is amazing, he grew up in the United States. He is proficient in Chinese kung fu and Western fighting, and his personal image is also good, and his mother is even more famous......"
"You're talking about Zhen Zidan, right?" No need for Wang Jing to finish. Mo Fei already knew who he was talking about, this guy must have been asked by Yuan Heping to intercede, Zhen Zidan is Yuan Heping's apprentice, when will it be his turn to be recommended by Wang Fatzi.
For this Zhen Zidan. It's not a good feeling. It's not a bad feeling. In his previous life, he had a verbal lawsuit with another kung fu star, and a lot of people were involved, and this guy and many kung fu stars had more or less festive times, and it was said that his character was not good enough.
But Mo Fei doesn't care about these, even if everything is wrong with him, but since he has offended so many people, he can still mix well, at least it can explain a little. This person did have two hits, otherwise he would have been killed early in the morning.
But if you let Mo Fei use such an actor. That's not going to work, what he wants is to be as harmonious as possible in each crew, and there shouldn't be too many contradictions between the artists within the company, so that he can control the entire company.
Just like he is reluctant to use directors like Mu Dunfu and Mai Danxiong, this Zhen Zidan, who causes trouble everywhere, is not something he can bear. And the roles in "Pirates of Malacca" are indeed basically booked, and the rest are ready to use foreign actors, and there is no room for Chinese actors.
Fortunately, Wang Jing said it late, otherwise he would have to make a lot of effort to reject him, so after secretly rejoicing, he said: "I know the actor you are talking about, Yuan Heping's apprentice, his mother is Mai Baochan, right?" But it's really not good, the roles have already been arranged, if he is willing to play passerby A, I can still arrange it. ”
"There's really nothing to be done?" Wang Jing is still a little unwilling, he has been able to arrange roles in so many films before, but he can't speak to this big production, and it's not easy to put this face alone.
Mo Fei glared and shook his head, and said, "It's not that I don't give you face, but I really can't help it." There are two male protagonists in this film, I have to vacate one to use a ghost actor, even if there are other roles, they are not suitable for a beautiful boy like him, so I can't let him play the male lead, right? ”
Having said that, Wang Jing also knew that it must be useless, but he still didn't want to lose face, so he retreated and said: "What about other films, can you arrange it?" ”
Could it be that he was really angry, why did this fat man suddenly become like this, and he began to be a little out of business, and said: "Let's not talk about whether there are suitable roles for him in other films, Phoenix Culture's filming plans have been arranged a long time ago, and there are so many newly signed actors in the back who may not have a chance to play the play, do you say that there are any other roles to give favors, isn't there also a role in the "Xinzha Senior Sister" directed by you?" What benefits did you receive from Yuan Heping, and you had to work so hard to help his apprentice speak? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I think this Zhen Zidan is very good, and I want to use him to open two plays when I start a company after I finish it, so I give him some benefits in advance."
Wang Jing can be regarded as telling the truth, so he no longer cares about him, but has to give him a vaccination, and said: "That's even worse, if it's just a temporary exchange of interests, it's okay to say, but I really don't recommend you to work so hard for a long time." That Zhen Zidan I know, short-tempered and arrogant, it's hard to say whether he can work for a long time under Yuan Heping, and help you open a new play, let's wait until he can survive until you open a company, maybe it won't take half a year, this guy won't be able to do it. ”
didn't wait for Wang Jing to say anything, and said to himself: "Speaking of your "Xinzha Senior Sister", I remembered that this matter has to be arranged, and it doesn't hurt to prepare on time in advance." ”
After speaking, he picked up the phone on the table and asked the secretary Yinan to inform Xiong Xinxin to come to the office. Since Xiong Xinxin entered Phoenix Culture, he has taken his group of brothers and apprentices to start Phoenix Culture's own martial arts team, which has brought a lot of benefits to Phoenix Culture, especially the action direction in "Die Hard", which really added a lot to the film, and he also has his credit for the film's big hit. Naturally, he will not forget this hard-working subordinate.
Xiong Xinxin also has his own office in the company, and he knocked on the door and came in within two minutes, and said hello to Mo Fei and Wang Jing. sat on another chair opposite Mo Fei, waiting for Mo Fei to arrange a job for him.
First-class kung fu, hard-working, hard-working, and rushing to the front in everything, this is the evaluation that Xiong Xinxin has received since joining Phoenix Culture, which is also where Mo Fei values him the most.
Regardless of Xiong Xinxin and Wang Jing's habit of not smoking, Mo Fei lit a cigarette before he began to speak, "Little Bear." How are you doing, are you still used to it in Hong Kong, and is there anything you need the company to help solve? ”
The owner's concern is still very touching. Xiong Xinxin was not bald at this time, scratched the short hair on the top of his head, and said, "It's all good, Mr. Mo, you don't have to worry about it." If there is anything I need, I will bring it up to the company. ”
"That's good. I'm worried that you're too self-conscious, and you won't say anything about what you can deal with, because that's not what I want to see. If you work for the company, the company will do what the company should do for you, so that you can work with more peace of mind. Remember that you have to bring up anything, either in life or at work, and although I can't solve the emotional aspect, we can also communicate it. ”
Mo Fei is very concerned about this team composed of all professional martial arts actors and coaches. After telling Xiong Xinxin again that he must bring it up, he began to say anything else. Said: "In the company's winter films, "Xinzha Senior Sister" and "Miss Beauty Pageant" need to be martial arts, and they will not be very busy at work, if the brothers want to go home to see, they can arrange you as much as possible, after all, it has been a while since they came out, and it is normal to be homesick."
There is another thing, that is, the naval war film that the company is preparing to shoot, you should also know that there will be a lot of action scenes in it, and you need to pay more attention to this. And you can't be a martial arts instructor forever, I still hope that you can take care of playing some roles, which is very beneficial to your future development, so I arranged a role for you in this film, and you can also show your martial arts skills, and slowly adapt to the work of an actor from this play. This is the script, you can take it back later, and by the way, you will also study the action, but no one else has this script, so you must keep it. ”
When he first entered the film industry, he just had the idea of being a stuntman actor first and gradually developing into a martial arts director, but it didn't take long for Mo Fei to be a motion director, and now he has the opportunity to be an actor, Xiong Xinxin couldn't believe that this was true, and he was busy thanking Mo Fei, and he was about to burst into tears when he walked out of the office.
After Xiong Xinxin left, Wang Jing was a little unconvinced and reluctantly said to Mo Fei: "Didn't you just say that you don't have a role, why did you run out of a role with an action scene?" ”
No wonder the fat man's expression just now was a little wrong, daring to love is because of this, Mo Fei put out the cigarette in his hand, and said angrily: "You are stupid, can they be the same, Xiong Xinxin and Zhen Zidan are completely two styles, do you think the roles of the two of them can be reversed against each other." And I told you just now, that Zhen Zidan is a little impetuous, as far as he is concerned, he is not an actor, do you think I am talking nonsense to you? ”
Wang Jing then thought that the two of them were completely different styles, and they really thought about it by themselves, and they wouldn't really not give themselves face, so they hurriedly stood up and grinned: "Okay, okay, big guy, it's me who is wrong, okay, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll talk about it when I have time." ”
……
After the production of "The Silence of the Lambs" was completed, Mo Fei had already arranged for someone to go to the United States with the copy, and the release through Columbia has now been decided, and the premiere is scheduled for October 27, so Mo Fei will also go to the United States to see the specific situation of this film.
This film will not have a premiere in the United States, so there is no need to stop the progress of other films and go with the main creator. Mo Fei settled a few women, and only took his assistant Wu Long and a few bodyguards to board a flight to the United States, and his first stop was Ohio.
"Boss, the hotel has been arranged, the person has been found, and we will be able to meet tomorrow." When I walked out of the entrance channel of Cleveland Hopkins Airport, an employee of Phoenix Culture in the United States had already taken over the luggage and began to report to work.
Although the car was only rented, a Chrysler business car, Mo Fei still felt that it was good to have a company in the United States, and everything had already been arranged before the people arrived, and there was something that could be done in advance.
"What's going on with her now, does she have a contract, or does she have any contracts that have been signed?" As soon as he got in the car, he began to ask about the specific situation.
An employee named Frank from the U.S. company was in charge of the matter, and replied: "There are no contracts signed yet, and no other companies have any intention of signing them. Tomorrow, she'll take a picture for a local magazine, and the magazine took the initiative to find her. ”
"Okay, well done." Mo Fei praised Frank and said, "Let's go to the hotel first, contact me tomorrow, and then consider how to arrange it according to the specific situation, I hope everything can go well." ”
was praised by the boss, Frank looked beautiful and said: "Boss, I think she should agree, although she has made some achievements in the beauty pageant, she is still a little-known person, there is a company willing to sign a contract with her, and it is such a powerful company, I think she will be very happy, this is a rare opportunity for anyone who wants to develop in the entertainment industry." ”
The next morning, led by Frank and another employee, Mak Ka-keung, went to a small local studio in Cleveland. There were a lot of people in it who were busy, the staff were shuttling back and forth, and where the spotlights gathered in the middle of the venue, a model was posing.
On the other side of the studio, a few girls with makeup were laughing and chatting, waiting for a staff member to call their names, and then go to stand under the flash and pose for their future to be charming enough.
Among the girls, there is a dark-skinned one who stands out, not because she is the only one with dark skin here, but because her appearance is much better than the other models.
A face with a little boyish mischievousness, thick lips showing a different sexy taste; The figure is hot enough, with long curly chestnut hair, and a decent backless evening dress specially provided by the magazine, he is simply a star. Even among so many models, people can find her at a glance.
Mo Fei stood at the door of the studio, his eyes passed through the crowd, looking at this glamorous black pearl. At this time, Harry Berry already has a bit of a futuristic temperament, and while she has not yet debuted, she signed a contract with Phoenix Culture, which is one of the most visionary investments in the future... )
