Chapter 334, Relief of the Heart
When he returned to Hong Kong from the UK, he was treated like a hero, including the media, which had always complained about Mo Fei's strength, and was sincerely and warmly welcomed, except for the newspapers in the Star Island system.
The Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film and Supporting Actor, or the British Academy Film Award for Best Foreign Language Film Actor, these are indeed good awards, and they are definitely heavyweights at the Hong Kong Film Festival, but compared with the Berlin Film Festival, the name is down a notch. One of the three major international film festivals, the reputation is not too big.
The Berlin Film Festival has been held twice in two years, and two top actors have become popular, which is a major event in Hong Kong films, and even a major event in Chinese films.
The media was reluctant to let go of this opportunity, of course they were not willing to, and they naturally hit it off with each other, and held a press conference on the second day after returning to Hong Kong, which made the media very addicted.
The excitement passed quickly, life still has to live, work has to work, it is impossible to avoid vulgarity, the first thing after arriving at the company is to watch the demo tape of "Top Ambition".
This "Top Ambition" is a product that combines the original "Top Ambition" and "Kung Fu Football", and adds more content to spread football culture, such as the coach's explanation of tactics, the joys and sorrows of fans, and even asked Jude Gen to invite Hong Kong's authentic sports boss Huo Daheng to play a few minutes of true performance, which can be regarded as painstaking.
The film is handled very well, not as mysterious as "Kung Fu Football", and it lacks the procrastination of "Ambition", love, friendship, and family affection are all reflected through football. In particular, Maradona's performance can be said to be quite powerful, and he is worthy of being able to play the character of "God's hand, Maradona's head". Look at it this way. After he retires, he can also ensure that he has a good life as an actor, but I don't know if Lao Ma's addiction can be broken, otherwise he won't be able to do anything for long.
A TV series can show a lot more than a movie. With this series as a pedal, it is enough to show ATV's enthusiasm for spreading football culture. There is a more important point of "professionalism", coupled with the suggestions made to ATV before, it is a sure thing to win the broadcast rights of the World Cup that year while taking advantage of the last train. If this can be robbed of the broadcast rights by wireless, it will really be unreasonable.
From morning to afternoon, I watched a lot of sample films, and Mo Fei also felt a little dizzy, and just wanted to stand up and take two steps to stretch his muscles. Wu Long also sent the box office statistics of Phoenix Culture Films for the period after the New Year, and the box office data of all Hong Kong films during the Spring Festival is attached to the table.
After "True Love First", Phoenix Culture has three more films in the early spring, Zhang Guorong, Fu Li, Honggu, Lin Qingxia collaborated on "Wedding Terminator". "Ransom Storm" starring Liang Chaowei and Wang Zuxian, and "The Twelve Young People on Temple Street" starring Andy Lau and Li Lingyu.
The performance lineup of "The Wedding Terminator" is enough to complete the next two films, and after almost a month, Hong Kong has achieved a score of more than 50 million, and the box office in other cities perfectly interprets the meaning of Honggu as an absolute box office guarantee. Before it was fully rolled out, the global box office reached $80 million.
Of course, the box office appeal of Liang Chaowei and Wang Zuxian is also very good, and the film was released in the gap between "Love Actually" and "The Wedding Terminator", and it also got 40 million local box office in Hong Kong month after week. The box office in Asia also exceeded HK$150 million.
Andy Lau is still studying hard for progress, and his fame is not as good as Zhang Guorong and Liang Chaowei, but compared with this time in his previous life, he has also improved a lot because of the development of the rules, and he starred with Li Lingyu and won the box office results of more than 20 million in the Spring Festival stalls.
The box office of these three films can basically be judged before their release, and the first two closely followed "Love Actually" to occupy the top three box office rankings. followed by Golden Harvest's "Rich Train" and Xinyicheng's "Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman", which won more than 31 million and 29 million box office respectively.
The high prosperity of the Hong Kong film market has also brought good income to major film companies, and the box office of "North and South Shaolin" released on the southern front has also exceeded that of the previous life, reaching more than 19 million, and Debao's "Eight Joys are Coming" was also affected, buying more than 17 million.
The box office of these movies is not surprising, the inevitable result of the market boom, if only Phoenix Culture's own films are in the limelight, then the film market will really have problems.
But in this statistical document, Mo Fei also found a problem, movies that did not belong to this era, or even movies that never appeared at all. A company called "East Asian Films" launched a "Detective Longwei", which sold 18 million at the box office, becoming the biggest outlier in the Spring Festival stalls.
Whether it is Southeast Asian capital or a Taiwanese company, there will be a bit of movement when entering Hong Kong, and it is impossible to come quietly, but this East Asian movie has played a trick for people to enter the village.
Entering the film market is silent, except for the heroes and heroines of the movie are wireless artists Lu Liwei and Liu Jialing, directors, producers, screenwriters, etc., none of the names have been heard, and Hong Kong colleagues don't even know whether the boss of this company is a man or a woman.
Wu Long glanced at the information in Mo Fei's hand out of the corner of his eye, and followed Mo Fei's eyes to the part of "Detective Longwei", he also had a great opinion on this movie, and said: "I don't know what kind of company this is, what do you want to do with your head and tail, making a movie is not so much to follow the trend of "Die Hard", but to copy it, at least one-third of the plot is almost exactly the same as "Die Hard", it is just a change of actors, and such a film can sell more than 10 million, and the audience in Hong Kong is too easy to deceive." ”
"Hehe, you're very angry, do you want to take a vacation to eat turtle jelly?" Mo Fei was amused by Wu Long's tone of speech, and said: "What's wrong with this, imitating "Die Hard" can imitate more than 10 million box office, doesn't this just show that our movie is good enough, what's so angry, if you really want to do this." Sooner or later, you'll have to be, so let's get started. ”
was persuading Wu Long, but Mo Fei's eyes were fixed on the word "East Asia". Others don't know what it is, but he knows it too well. Enter the film market in this way of hiding cats. I didn't even write my name, it really took a lot of scheming, and I was ready to never see anyone in my life, so I played with you and let you know what this Tibetan cat meant.
If it were someone of this era, you would definitely not know which "East Asian movie" it is, but Hong Kong has the Bank of East Asia. But BEA would never do such a thing, and to be honest, I can't afford to lose that person.
Of course, Mo Fei does not dare to guarantee that his judgment is absolutely sound, and there may be a 1 in 1 to 1 thousand possibilities, this is a company that wants to fish in troubled waters. It was also taken by the power of Phoenix Culture, so I had to come secretly. But this possibility is very small after all, Hong Kong films have a long tradition of following the trend, and few people have gone to court for this matter for so many years, so they are more willing to believe it. This company is here for more purposes.
But this kind of thing can't make Mo Fei too interested, when it comes to the best sound, it's a pick-up of people's teeth, and there is nothing more applicable to describe it, the first film to open the door is a film company that follows the trend in a similar way to a remake, and it's strange that it can be bigger in the end. It's not the material for making a movie at all.
After resting for a while, I finished reading the rest of the samples, and it was time to finish work. During this time, I was either in the United States or in Europe, and I didn't spend a few days in Hong Kong at all, so I didn't just have to do work when I came back.
Honggu won the award in Berlin, and Honami was also nominated for the British Academy Film Awards, although the ghost side will not have much resentment because of this, but the feeling of discomfort must be there, and there is no meeting during the New Year, and now I have to comfort it.
After dinner, when I returned home, as soon as I entered the door, I hugged the ghost sister from behind, and said in my ear: "I'm sorry, I've been busy running around and running west during this time, and I haven't been with you for two days, don't be unhappy, I've been living with you for the past two days." ”
Since the time they met in the evening, Mo Fei found that the ghost sister's mood was not very good, and even the smile was a little reluctant, so she naturally thought that it was because she was ignored, so she couldn't be interested.
"No, I'm not unhappy, what you're doing outside is serious, why should I be unhappy because of this, do you want to stay in Hong Kong every day. And you're such a person, full of flowers, and I can't afford to be angry with you. The ghost girl pursed the corners of her mouth, raised her head and kissed Mo Fei lightly on the face, and said: "I'm angry for myself, I can't do anything else except sing, and I can't help you, I'm afraid that I will become a burden to you, and you will slowly dislike me." ”
Dare to love for this, it's just nonsense, Mo Fei stared at his eyes and shrugged his shoulders and quickly swung his head a few times, Yi expressed his disagreement with this sentence, stretched out his hand to hold the cheek of the ghost sister, and said: "Silly girl, how can you think of so much, are you reversely developed to the age of sentimentality?" You are you, why compare with others, what I like is you, if I change to something else, I won't be able to adapt to it. Everyone has their own characteristics, others can't replace them, if you insist on erasing your own characteristics, and compare what you are not good at with what others are good at, isn't it all a failure? Besides, there are many places where you can help me, and I have one thing I want you to help with today. ”
"I hate it, if I can only help you, then no one can help you, and I'm even more useless." The ghost sister obviously misunderstood Mo Fei's meaning, and she was very dissatisfied with Mo Fei's answer.
Mo Fei made a bitter face, took out a script from his bag, and said: "You think wrong, I'm talking about this, inviting you to help me make a movie." I also said that I hate it, you yourself always think about whether it is good or not, and then again, your coquettish appearance is really too tasteful. ”
The ghost sister was really embarrassed now, she glanced at Mo Fei angrily, raised her hand and took away the script, turned around and twisted her buttocks to go inside: "If you do this again, I will ignore you today." ”
"Today, I look at the table below, it's already past ten o'clock, you take a shower and clean up and take care of it, it's going to be twelve o'clock, it's tomorrow, you don't seem to have time to do anything." Ghost girl doesn't have any good results in movies. Mo Fei had already guessed that she would feel uncomfortable because of this, and now she really felt a little inferior, and this script was a prescription he had prepared in advance. Wait and then put the medicine primer in, and you can basically get rid of the disease. At this time, I was also happy to tease the ghost and adjust the atmosphere.
"Haven't you read the script, you've been doing maintenance all the time?" Mo Fei came out of the shower and found that the script was still at the head of the bed, and the ghost girl was lying there with a mask.
"I don't want to read it, you can tell me, I like to hear you. All I saw was that the script said 'I'm crazy about you', and this should be a love story. Of course, you have to tell the love story. "I haven't gotten along with Mo Fei for so long, no matter if I say it well or not, the ghost sister wants to hear Mo Fei's voice more.
This "I'm Crazy for You" is not the Hong Kong-made salty film in '91, nor is it an adaptation of the American drama series in '92. It's based on another American movie "I'm Crazy for Mary", which adds some Hong Kong-flavored jokes.
"I originally wanted you to see for yourself, to be able to bring in a little more, okay, I'll tell you." I wrote it myself anyway. Mo Fei didn't bother to read the script, so he sat on the bed and put the ghost girl's head on the memory lap, and said, "This story is about two high school students. In the 70s, Ah Xing and Xiaowen were both studying in a high school in Tainan, and Ah Xing was a person who seemed destined to be destined for success. A mouthful of "sharp" teeth with orthodontic braces can be daunting; Xiaowen is a tall and good-looking school flower, and all the boys in the school are fascinated by her. However, fate always likes to joke, and between such two people who are by no means compatible, there is a bizarre story.
Xiaowen's brother suffers from mental illness and has to be taken care of every day, just one day when Xiaowen's brother was lost, a mad cow almost killed him, and he happened to be rescued by Ah Xing passing by, and it was because of this that Xiaowen had a good impression of Ah Xing. The relationship is so inexplicable, the relationship between the two seems to be developing very smoothly, Xiaowen even took the initiative to invite Ah Xing to participate in the sorority organized by the school, but Ah Xing caused a misunderstanding because of his uncompetitive zipper, and a relationship ended there.
Eleven years later, Ah Xing Shilai has become a well-known writer, but he still remembers Xiaowen back then, and his friend suggested hiring a private detective to find Xiaowen's whereabouts, Ah Xingye accepted the offer and hired the detective Ada recommended by his friend to do this. Ada, on the other hand, is a guy with no work ethic, or even moral corruption. When he saw Xiaowen, who was already a surgeon in Taipei, he was immediately fascinated by Xiaowen's beauty, and returned to Kaohsiung to tell Ah Xing that Xiaowen was already an old and ugly woman, and that she was so poor that she even had to sell * to support her family, and persuaded Ah Xing to dispel her thoughts as soon as possible.
Ada worked hard to use various despicable means such as eavesdropping, stalking, etc., to conduct a detailed investigation and understanding of Xiaowen, summarized every liking and dislike of Xiaowen, and then pursued Xiaowen with the right medicine. Just when he was about to succeed, he accidentally revealed the news, Ah Xing learned everything about it and prepared to go to Taipei to find Xiaowen. However, things didn't go so well, and on the way to Taipei, Ah Xing was mistaken by the police for a murderer because of his kindness, and was mistaken for a murderer by the police......"
"Is this drama going to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda? Amo, I beg you to be okay, don't always use the actor's name to write the script in the future, it's the same name every time, the audience will be bored, you have to be responsible for yourself, so many people in Phoenix Culture rely on you to eat. ”
In fact, it's not just everyone who has this kind of thought, almost all the employees of Phoenix Culture have this feeling, it is not the names of all the characters in the script, eighty percent of them can't escape the circle of the company, and it is a strange thing to be able to come up with a good script, but they are too lazy to use their brains on the names of the characters. Even Huang Zhan complained more than once, could it be that all the protagonists of meat jokes are Xiao Ming, so that he has now begun to habitually use Xiao Ming as the protagonist of the story.
In fact, this is really wronged, most of the content in those scripts is adapted from memory, but every name in the script is really decided after consideration, only those who are suitable for the actor's name will do so, and occasionally change the unsuitable, which has the advantage of being able to make the audience remember the actor as much as possible, rather than the role in the movie, which is really well-intentioned.
"The name is like this now, it's not completely unbeneficial, the most important thing is that I said you, don't always set too many goals for yourself, always feel that you don't do enough, in fact, you are already very good, really great, I don't need you to do too much, it's just right now." I want you to be completely authentic, not to change something for me, hiss......"
As he spoke, he felt a warm feeling between his legs, and the vital place was surrounded by a warm and slippery place, turning up and down, and instantly became high-spirited.
Looking down at the ghost girl who was swallowing, she said that this girl has really become bad, and she dares to take advantage of the danger of people to sneak attack, but this feels really good. Unable to say anything more, the two clutches stretched out and stretched forward, covering the pair of delicate ......
"Amo, you have to be lighter, it's been so long, I'm afraid I can't stand it if you push too hard, oh ......" (to be continued)
