On the Beverly Hills Highway, in a sedan moving slowly, a relatively thin driver and a young man sitting in the back seat are chatting, and their destination is also the hotel where Mo Fei is located.

If there aren't enough people who know Matt Damon, then this young guy is different, the fame is so great that almost anyone who has a little interest in movies, or even a little bit of it, definitely knows his name, Nicolas Cage.

Born in an Italian-American family, known as the Coppola family in the American film and television industry, his uncle is Francis Coppola, one of the four major Hollywood directors, and the famous film history masterpiece "The Godfather" is from this person; His cousin was the first American female director to be nominated for an Oscar, and she also won the Golden Lion in Venice.

And Nicolas Cage himself is a two-time Oscar winner, this family and the Oscar can be said to have a deep fate, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have won nine trophies in more than 20 Oscar nominations, which can be called the top family in the entertainment industry.

It's just that in this family, there is such a strange person as Nicholas, in order to avoid being said that he took advantage of his uncle's east wind to set sail, he simply gave up using the family's original surname Coppola and used his stage name to enter the entertainment industry. Although no one knows whether he borrowed the elder Dongfeng or not, the two Oscar statuettes are real, at least in terms of acting skills, he is an absolutely successful one.

"Nicholas, what kind of role do you think you will receive today, will it be like "Die Hard"? To be honest, I really didn't judge Johnny when he auditioned last time, if I could have inquired clearly, and I had arranged for you to go at that time, the role would be yours now. The agent was chatting with Nicolas Cage as he drove.

"Summer, that's not something you can know at all, I've already asked Johnny, and the situation is completely different from what we imagined. You knew that when Johnny went to the audition that day. He only went for a TV series, and that movie was a makeover decision, no one could have imagined. "Nicolas Cage is showing that it doesn't matter.

The agent still felt that he had made a bad move, shook his head and said: "But Nicholas, it's a Vietnam War movie, I asked your uncle, and he promised that the film will definitely be a hit." The director experienced the Vietnam War and then wrote his story into a movie. The most you need now is to boost your fame, and although you have starred in two movies, those two movies have not been very successful......"

"Come on Summer, I know what success you are talking about, business." Nicolas Cage interrupts the agent. "The commercial success of a film is very important, and it can also prove whether an actor is good and whether he is accepted by a wider audience. But Summer, you also have to understand that that opportunity was given by Johnny himself, and even if I was there at the time, I might not be able to get that role, do you want me to tell the other party. 'I'm old Coppola's nephew, please give me a chance', and if I do, why would I insist on using my stage name? ”

"Well, Nicholas, I can't tell you. But it's not bad, the new darling of the Golden Globes also has a crush on you, and you don't have to be like Johnny that guy to star in this film. I had to go to the rainforest to get training, I heard that it was very hard and dangerous, there was no water to drink, there were beasts and pythons at any time, and many people would get the plague there, that kid was really pitiful. "Agents always think that Nicolas Cage is not exactly the same, but his uncle has given him some pointers.

Young people always crave to be recognized. Listening to the words of the economic man as if he was dissatisfied with the movie, Nicolas Cage was really anxious and said, "Summer, Johnny got a good opportunity." I don't have any jealousy or resentment, you look me in the eye ......"

"I'm sorry, Nicholas, I'm driving, so I can't accommodate your request for the time being."

"Okay, okay, I'm a little excited. But Summer, don't think of me so narrow-mindedly, and don't forget that Johnny was what I recommended to you, and if I was going to be jealous of him, would I have had to do that? Nicolas Cage gestured in the back seat: "We say the basics, Johnny was able to get that role because he auditioned for the TV series, and I didn't want to appear in the TV series, so it was definitely not my turn." And I heard my uncle say that the director of that movie, Oliver Stone, took the script and found many film companies, but no one was willing to invest, but he went to Phoenix Culture at that time, which may be the arrangement in the dark. ”

The agent also understood that there was indeed no problem, and there was no need for him to worry about it anymore. He is also Johnny Depp's agent, the more good actors he has, the more glamorous and capable this agent is, if there is something wrong between Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp, then he will have a big head.

Pulling the car into the courtyard of the hotel, he said as he parked: "Okay, Nicholas, this is indeed something I think about too much, but you should understand that I sometimes have to worry about these problems. This Mr. Mo's vision in movies is very accurate, this time Phoenix Culture decided to invest in "Field Platoon", at least more than eighty percent of this movie will not be bad, now Johnny has been selected to play the leading role, his fame will definitely have a big boost in the future, if there is any problem between you, it will be difficult for me to do it, so Nicholas, you have to understand me. ”

"Alright, let's not talk about that, I really don't have any jealous thoughts, and I don't have the idea of comparing myself to Johnny. Let's get out of the car quickly, it's rude to keep others waiting, and don't forget that we are actors, not investors. Nicolas Cage doesn't want to continue to talk to his agent about Johnny Depp, he knows very clearly in his heart, what to worry about, difficult to do, it's all nonsense, and I'm worried that he will target Johnny Depp through some means, but is this possible, this agent's mind doesn't seem to be so pure, is he considering another one, by the way, remind Johnny, this guy is really unreliable.

The two didn't talk much anymore, and went straight to the floor where the hotel conference hall was located, just in time for reporters to come out of the conference hall in twos and threes. Coming to the door of the conference hall, the agent found a staff member and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Mo Fei here?" We made an appointment to meet, my name is Hoover Summer, and I'm the agent for Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp. ”

"Hello, Mr. Summer, I'm just a staff member of the hotel, please wait a minute, I'll help you verify."

The staff turned to leave. The two were left waiting, but soon a reporter recognized Nicolas Cage.

"Look, isn't that the star of "Birdman" and "Melancholy Boy", the one named Nicolas Cage, next to him seems to be his agent. What are they doing here, is there a piece of appointment to talk about? It must be a new film of Phoenix Culture. ”

"I think it must be, it seems that we can't leave yet, we should stay and wait for news, or an interview about it."

The reaction of the reporters is exactly what Mo Fei wants, so that the reporters pay attention to a movie from before the film has even started, as long as the movie itself is not too problematic, the final result will definitely have a big improvement.

The new film he is going to look for Nicolas Cage to star in is "The Courier". The Chinese translation is called "Death Express" or "Extraordinary Human Trafficker", this film was not so good at the box office in the previous life, in addition to the problem of actors, European films are not so good in North America is also an important reason, of course, the hype effect in the early stage is also very important.

"Hey, Cage, it's nice to see you here, okay for a few words. Are you here to meet with Mr. Mo Fei today, do you want to talk about the new film contract, and is there any news you can say? A reporter immediately went over and reached for Nicolas Cage, hoping to get first-hand information.

However, he was soon disappointed, Nicolas Cage is not very old, and he has been used to hearing all kinds of things in the entertainment industry since he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to deal with reporters that it is a child's work.

I gave the reporter a smile first. said: "I'm also very happy to meet you, but I'm really sorry, I'm just here to meet with Mr. Mo Fei today, and I don't know much about the specific situation." So there's nothing to come up with, I'm really sorry. But rest assured, as soon as there is any new news, I will definitely release it as soon as possible. ”

The role of the agent is about to be reflected at this time, and when he saw that the staff over there had come out, he immediately stopped between the reporter and Nicolas Cage, and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, now the appointed time has come, please let me go, don't let Mr. Mo Fei wait for a long time, thank you!" ”

After the two entered the conference room, a staff member of Phoenix Culture came out of it, it was Frank, a sycophant monkey, of course, he was still very serious at this time, and said to reporters: "Everyone, I believe you are very interested in the two people who went in just now, so okay, I know that with your character and habits, it will be very uncomfortable if you don't figure it out, so now please come with me, I will explain this matter carefully for you." ”

“…… Phoenix Culture will invest in more than 30 films in '86, most of which will be released within the year, and almost a third of them will premiere in the United States, and more American actors will be ......used in the films. The title of this new film is called "Courier", which is an action plus gunfight crime and thriller genre film, and Mr. Nicolas Cage, whom you just saw, will be the leading actor of this movie......"

While Frank was talking to reporters, he was also telling Nicolas Cage about the film, because he had communicated with his agent before, and both parties came for the purpose of cooperation, so there was no need for more foreshadowing. And as the new Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film Producer, as well as the record of several outstanding actors who have become popular, the opportunity to cooperate with Phoenix Culture artists still cares more.

"The film is set in Florida, where Nick is a race car driver who was forced to retire due to manslaughter, specializing in helping deliver to customers who need more secret services." In terms of the story setting of the film, he has already begun to lay out the layout for other films in the future, and other storylines will also undergo some minor surgeries: "His goods are always strange, maybe antiques, maybe banknotes, or nuclear bombs." This time, he received a business to send a package from Miami to Los Angeles, and it was this package that completely disrupted or even turned Nick's life upside down. In the process of delivering the package, Nick discovers that the package can move, so he breaks his first rule of 'never check the goods he is shipping', and releases an Oriental girl from the package. Then, the other two rules that allowed him to enjoy a high reputation in this industry, 'never change the job' and 'never inquire about the shipper', were also broken, and more seriously, Nick fell in love with the 'goods' he shipped......"

As soon as he was halfway through, the door was knocked twice and pushed open from outside, He Chaoqiong came over with a stack of papers and handed it to Mo Fei, smiled at Nicolas Cage and the two, and then kept smiling, but said to Mo Fei with some dissatisfaction: "Did that foreign girl come again last night, I smelled a woman's perfume in your room, and it smelled the same as last time, it is impossible for the waiter to use such a high-end perfume?" ”

"Really no, you must be too sensitive, it's all from those reporters, you also know that I will do an interview in the living room of the room in the past two days, I really don't understand why you are so suspicious." Mo Fei took the document and avenge himself with a clear conscience, and the two were not afraid that the other side would understand Cantonese.

patted the sofa next to him again, and said, "Are you tired, sit down and rest first, I will be able to do it soon, and I will invite you to eat something delicious later." ”

The expressions and tones of the women in the world at this time are all similar, and Summerer can't figure out what the two of them are talking about, but he can guess that the eight achievements are a little awkward. Thinking about the legendary Mo Fei's romance and flowery heart, of course he knew that it was impossible for him to come out of nowhere, and at least nine of the ten things were close to the truth.

They are so awkward, as a bystander is also very uncomfortable, Summer, in line with the principle of helping others is helping himself, took the initiative to resolve this scene, and said: "This beautiful young lady is the heroine of this film, I believe that your charm will definitely bring more audiences to this film." ”

"Hehe, I can't afford to pay her." Mo Fei secretly praised He Chaoqiong before revealing the matter, and said to Nicolas Cage: "The story is in the script, I won't tell more, you can take it back and figure it out for yourself." It's a series of movies with some kung fu elements added to it, so all you have to do during this time is Nicholas to keep your body in shape, and you can also improve the flexibility of your body and find a way to keep it up.
