Xu Ke was actually very nervous about making this call to Mo Fei, with his understanding of Mo Fei, this new film, whose name has not yet been revealed, is definitely a big move to enter the international film industry, there are too few positions that can be placed in such a film, and everything must be considered as the first factor in the success of the movie.

But the face of his old friend made him have to help with this, so he had to risk being rejected by Mo Fei and put forward such a suggestive candidate, and even did not hesitate to use himself as a backing.

The relationship between him and Mo Fei is indeed not bad, but it is precisely because of the good relationship that Xu Ke has to be more careful when recommending actors, this is a big production with an investment of 50 million US dollars, not 35 million Hong Kong dollars to play casually, if you are not careful, there will be problems in one link, and then it will be more than just losing money.

The roles in such a big-budget movie can only be decided after being carefully selected many times, and some big-budget movies have to go through a year or more to cast, which is really not sloppy at all.

What he didn't expect was that Mo Fei was really face-saving, although he didn't say yes, but he was very happy, which is what it means to give priority to the premise of meeting the conditions.

Of course, this is not completely unconditional, Mo Fei's trust is capital, so the recommender must ensure that the actor he recommends can pass the test, otherwise he may not be able to have such a face in the future.

No matter how talented Xu Ke is, no matter how famous he is, it is impossible to know the future direction, and he doesn't know how famous Lin Qingxia will be in the Chinese world. It's impossible to know how much stuff Mo Fei has in his head.

So in Xu Ke's view, compared with this film, which is known as the film with the largest investment in Hong Kong film history, Mo Fei has directed two films before. and recommended a beautiful actress like Lin Qingxia, which is not a great thing, but thinks that the role in this film will make him owe him a big favor.

"Then I really want to thank you, Mr. Mo, this actor's name is Zheng Haonan, and he has just starred in "Flying Tiger" and "Eros No. 1", and his performance is not bad." In any case, this favor is owed. Xu Ke is not a hypocritical person, and after saying thank you, he said the name of the actor he wanted to recommend.

Zheng Haonan, an actor, knows it. is also one of the big male actors in Hong Kong, he borrowed a lot of leading roles when he first debuted, and was deeply liked by several New Wave directors such as Xu Ke, but he has never become popular since then. gradually became a second-tier actor. But this actor's acting skills are still worthy of recognition.

Now is when Zheng Haonan first debuted, he is being popular in the new art city, Xu Ke recommended him, compared to the new art city Mecca or Huang Baiming's request, I hope to be able to participate in the big production of Phoenix Culture, to broaden his market.

But Zheng Haonan is from Xinyi City, and if he wants to recommend it, it should be Huang Baiming or Mecca, how can he let Xu Ke speak. The content here has to be pondered.

However, Xu Ke spoke, and this actor can be regarded as passable. It's still okay to be a supporting role, Mo Fei thought about a few characters in the film, and said: "That's it, Lao Xu, there are only a dozen actors who can have lines in this film, and the first supporting role is definitely not good, I will try to arrange a position for him at the front." As for you, if you really want to have a good time, I'll give you another character with two or three lines, this shouldn't be too difficult. ”

As long as Mo Fei can agree, if he had known that the actors in this film were so tight, he would not necessarily take care of this matter, after all, the nature of this film is different, and Xu Ke did not have the illusion of how good a role he could run, so he laughed on the phone: "No problem, no problem, it's very good to be able to get a character with lines." ”

Could it be that Xinyicheng didn't personally recommend Zheng Haonan, but found Xu Ke to do it, could it be that there are other actors to recommend, if that's the case, it's not easy to arrange, there are not so many positions in this film. Especially young characters, even if they want to be inserted, there are not so many.

simply got to know Xu Ke first, and asked: "Lao Xu, this Zheng Haonan should be from Xinyi City, how can I ask you to recommend it, do they have other actors to recommend?" ”

Xu Ke knew that Mo Fei would definitely ask this, and he had already understood and confirmed it in advance, and said: "This is true, there are indeed two recommended candidates on the side of Xinyi City, but Mecca also knows that your film may not be so good, so he wants me to do me a favor, which of the two actors can get into is counted, if they can get in, it will be better." ”

"So who is the other actor, is it also a young actor?" Xinyicheng's approach is indeed a bit greedy, and it is also a bit unrighteous, which makes Mo Fei a little unhappy, and it is not impossible to plan to play, but it is definitely not such a way to play.

Xu Ke also knew that Xinyicheng's approach was not very authentic, and the purpose of hoping to use Phoenix Culture to support actors was too obvious, and it meant that it was a little bit drained of the water to catch fish. Mo Fei is not a fool, how can he not feel it, so it will not be easy to praise people through Phoenix culture in the future, and he will not even give them another chance.

But Xu Ke couldn't refuse the old friend's patting, but fortunately Mo Fei didn't express any dissatisfaction with him, this was already the best result, and he hurriedly responded: "I heard that they want to help Zheng Zeshi fight for a role, this year Zheng Zeshi just cooperated with Xinyicheng in "Why Have Me", Mecca wanted to keep Zheng Zeshi in Xinyicheng, so he thought of such a move. ”

Zheng Zeshi, could it be that chubby figure appeared in his mind, this person is indeed a talent, but he also has a big heart, it is not so easy to keep him, Mecca is afraid that he will miscalculate this time.

However, this person really has a suitable role in "Pirates of Malacca", the mute pirate with his tongue cut off and a parrot on his shoulder, is very suitable for this actor to play, I believe there will be a feeling of laughter in the audience, and the actor selected for this role is also Zheng Zeshi.

No matter what Mecca's reason is, he doesn't bother to care, in short, he won't let go of Zheng Zeshi's favor, so he simply sells Xu Ke a favor, and says: "Zheng Zeshi, this actor, Mecca really has a problem for me, I'll try to arrange it, Lao Xu, you tell them for me, you don't need to make a phone call, I use the actor here, but only these two, there is no way to do it again." ”[2008]

Xu Ke was just the first person to run the role, and then there were dozens of actors who wanted to participate in various relationships, including Wu Siyuan, Zou Wenhuai and others who personally called Mo Fei to intercede, and in the end, even He Chaoqiong participated.

With great difficulty, he took out two more role quotas, announcing that this is the last Chinese actor quota, and the other roles must be retained with actors from Hollywood and Europe, this film is a truly global film, and it is impossible to use all Chinese to play the role, otherwise where will the investment of 50 million US dollars be recovered.

As soon as these relationships were resolved, the call to run the role came to the door again, this time not from the Hong Kong film industry, but from Colombia, which has been cooperating in the film distribution business for a long time, and also recommended a very good actor to Mo Fei.

Colombia has branches in Asia, and how can such a big incident in the Hong Kong film industry not attract attention, and Columbia Pictures will of course get the news soon.

Phoenix Culture's movies are not only a weapon to attract money, but also a weapon to hold stars, just look at how popular Zhong Chuhong is in the United States now, of course, Colombia will not let go of any opportunity for possible cooperation, you must know that the life of Colombian movies in the past two years has not been so easy.

In fact, there is no need for Colombian people to bring it up, but since the beginning of considering the filming of "Pirates of Malacca", Colombia has already left a part.

Everyone has been working together for so long, and even Princess Jin and Golden Harvest have to give some face, and of course this bigger partner will not be left behind, and they are still left with a more important role.

Colombia will not let go, and of course the French Gaemon will not forget that a beautiful European classical beauty girl, this should be difficult to find the largest European film company with many beauties under its umbrella.

The small turmoil brought about by "Pirates of Malacca" has basically stopped at this point, but I can't help but laugh when I sit in my class chair and think about all this, the supporting roles of a movie are so sought after, and even become a hidden transaction between each other, which is really ridiculous.
