Chapter 253, each with a ghost
Originally, things didn't develop as Yi Yifu feared, and he didn't plan to fight with Fang Yihua in the newspaper, what was going on, and when "Pirates of Malacca" officially started, everything would be clear.
As long as Wu Yusen himself is okay, everything else will be fine, but Wu Yusen is so busy every day that his feet hit the back of his head, how can he have that time to have problems.
But how can things be as good as they should be, a few idle and boring newspapers saw the article in the "Sing Tao Daily" and moved their minds, and Mo Fei happened to have nothing to say about this issue, so they began to look for something about this issue.
When it is really "nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of people with hearts", a tabloid reporter finally determined the whereabouts of director Wu Da after following Wu Yusen tirelessly for three days - playing in the mud on the beach in Sai Kung every day.
Well, the matter finally spread, what is Wu Yusen going to do in Saigon Waihai, it's not really for fun, this must involve the new film of Phoenix Culture, reporters began to run to the beach in Saigon in large quantities, there is likely to be first-hand news.
It's just that the reporters underestimated Wu Yusen's level of playing ball and playing tricks, and in the face of the reporters' seemingly endless questions, they would explain it with the company's regulations at first, and then directly said that they were just enclosing the sea here, and they didn't know anything else.
Wu Yusen, the executor, is "ignorant", and there are only those who really know, but Mo Fei is so good at talking, he will scold people when he is unhappy with the media, and he won't say anything if he really asks. How can this make the journalists willing.
In the end, a more daring reporter asked Mo Fei this question, Mo Fei had just come out of the office building where Phoenix Culture was located, and a reporter who was guarding downstairs rushed over. I've seen this reporter before. It was from the "Oriental Daily", and the impression was not bad, so he specially asked the bodyguards to let him go, and it was time for "Pirates of Malacca" to release some news.
"Mr. Mo, many people are now saying that you and Director Wu Yusen have broken down their relationship because of personal conflicts, but then someone found out. Director Wu Yusen is encircling the sea by the sea. May I ask Mr. Mo, is Director Wu Weihai because of Phoenix Culture's next new film, can you tell me about the general situation of this film? "The reporter knows that this opportunity is not easy to come by. As soon as I came over, I took out my interview machine and started recording.
Mo Fei slowed down his pace and said: "Saying that I have a bad relationship with Director Wu is pure nonsense, if my relationship with Director Wu is really as some people hope." Now Director Wu is still willing to help me reclaim the sea in Saigon. I'm afraid I've already gone drinking and chatting with friends. Director Wu's encirclement of the sea is indeed preparing for the next film of Phoenix Culture, and he himself will serve as the director of this film. ”
Reporters are insatiable, even the best reporters are the same, and continue to ask: "So, Mr. Mo, can you talk about this movie, such a large area of the sea." It shouldn't be a simple film, will this film be like a fierce movie like "Die Hard"? ”
Mo Fei also knew that he would not be satisfied with the previous question. After a slight pause, he saw that there were no reporters around, and then said: "Whether it is a blockbuster or not, you can only know when the box office comes out, who can guarantee it in advance." However, we have great hopes for this film, which will be a naval war film, and the whole preparation process will take more than a year, from the beginning of this year to implement this shooting plan, and it will not be able to officially start production until next year.
And in terms of capital investment, only the cost of the props has exceeded 20 million US dollars so far, and the reservoir and sink built by Director Wu in Sai Kung are part of the props; In addition to Hong Kong actors, we will also invite Hollywood stars to play roles in the film this time, and the stunt part of the film will also be produced using the most advanced technology, and the cost of all filming is likely to exceed 50 million US dollars. ”
The reporter couldn't help but gasp when he heard Mo Fei's words, a movie with a cost of more than 50 million US dollars, this is a big production that can only be found in Hollywood. With so much money in other companies, I don't know how many films I want to make, how can I shoot dozens or hundreds of films, but in Mo Fei's hands, it's just one, it's crazy.
After the interview, this reporter left immediately, and he wanted to sort out what he got today as soon as possible and put it in the most important position in tomorrow's newspaper.
When other reporters wanted to interview Mo Fei, they were rejected by Mo Fei, so the news could only be sent out by one newspaper and then reprinted by other newspapers to achieve the best publicity effect.
It is believed that in three days, almost more than eighty percent of the media in Hong Kong will reprint this news, plus the follow-up "Ming Zhou" and "Bi-weekly" and so on, it will probably last for more than a week. For such a long time, people have been talking about Wu Yusen and 50 million movies, I believe that for "Sing Tao Daily" and TVB, this slap is enough to hurt; Collect such a little interest first, and wait until Phoenix Culture is completely settled, and then go to these two to settle the account.
The very next day, the Oriental Daily published an article with a huge headline - "What kind of movie can be made with 390 million!" The content is the dialogue between Mo Fei and the reporter, as well as some relevant information and personal analysis summarized by the reporter himself.
The article specifically took out Mo Fei and Zou Wenhuai as heroes in the Hong Kong film industry, saying that both of them are crazy people in the film industry, burners who are completely crazy for movies.
Zou Wenhuai went crazy four years ago, Golden Harvest claimed to have invested 40 million US dollars to make movies in Hollywood, but in the end it was only able to pay off; Now it's going crazy, Phoenix Culture has to spend 50 million US dollars to make a film, and I don't know if it will be a profit or a loss in the end. Although this kind of crazy behavior is very risky, there are already people in the Hong Kong film industry who do it, and there is more than one, I believe that there will be more and more such crazy behaviors in the future, and there will be more people willing to do it, and Hong Kong films will have a future.
If it is based on the consistent performance, this 50 million investment should not be a loss. "Die Hard" has won 140 million at the box office in North America, and the global box office has already exceeded 200 million US dollars.
As soon as this article was reported, it was quickly reprinted by other newspapers, as Mo Fei thought. Some are still building buildings behind, adding their own comments, saying that some are not good words to support, and there are also sour words waiting to see jokes, in short, within three days, this matter has spread all over Hong Kong.
The most ugly thing now is "Sing Tao Daily", which has just made up so many rights and wrongs without shame, and now it has been slapped in the face, and it hurts hotly.
But no matter how painful it is, the grievances between "Sing Tao Daily" and Phoenix Culture have long been settled, and they can't be resolved if they want to, what they can do is to continue to target Phoenix Culture and find a place where they are not happy.
Hu Xian, the owner of Sing Tao Daily, the chairman of Sing Tao Daily, sat behind her desk and gave orders to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, saying: "We can't stop it, we can't be soft, and in the future, not only daily newspapers, but also evening newspapers and express newspapers will also participate." In fact, we don't suffer a loss, wireless has to give money every time we use it, and it is a news topic figure, as long as he appears in the newspaper, sales will definitely rise, why don't we do it. ”
As the saying goes, "things gather like and people are grouped", it is difficult for people who do not have the same composition to come together, while Hu Xian thought about making money on both sides, Fang Yihua also secretly rejoiced in his office: Fortunately, the newspaper belongs to the Hu family, and Hu Xian can still be in front of him, otherwise this face will be lost, and he doesn't have to contribute and come forward, it's just great, and he will have to do it in the future.
For Mo Fei to dare to invest 50 million US dollars to make a movie, to be honest, Fang Yihua still admires him from the bottom of his heart, daring to play such a big scene at a young age, this is definitely a material to do big things, and this is also what makes her jealous.
Yi Yifu has been playing movies all his life, and he has always lived a cautious life, not to mention Mo Fei's 50 million US dollars, or Zou Wenhuai's 40 million US dollars, even if it is 10 million US dollars, he has never played, Fang Yihua thought of this, and held his breath for a while, it is strange that he can fight like this.
The news that Phoenix Culture invested 50 million US dollars to make a new film spread, and the most shocking thing is, of course, the entertainment industry. What the media thinks of this matter is a matter for the media, but insiders will not be the same as the media, they have their own judging standards, and even if a $50 million film is a bad movie, it is definitely worth fighting for one of the roles.
No matter how Fang Yihua and Hu Xian have their own ghosts, and how much the media argues about this matter, all the targets are actually aimed at one person, that is, Mo Fei sitting in the Phoenix Culture office.
Since the report article of "Oriental Daily" was issued, it is impossible to be idle here, such a movie, who doesn't want to run a role for themselves.
The first person to call was Xu Ke: "Mr. Mo, my old Xu, you are really super generous this time, with an investment of 50 million, another record in the history of Hong Kong films, it's really exciting." I'm calling you to ask for something, see if you can leave two characters in the film, one is to run for a friend, and the other is my own, as long as my character can show his face, just to participate. ”
"Okay, you say, who is this person, there are not many roles in this film, as long as it is suitable, I will definitely keep it for you, but it can only be this one, and I have to leave a few old actors who are ready to use ghosts for other roles." has always had a good relationship with Xu Ke, and Lin Qingxia was also introduced by Xu Ke, so she can't help but give this face.
