Chapter 288: Persuasion
Could it be that Luo Wei still had the intention of persuading, and was thinking about how to get rid of this guy, Xu Feng appeared in time, this partner really did a timely rain.
"What kind of killing is this, Tang Tai has already covered the trophies of the Golden Horse Actress, and I haven't even got the original product." Mo Fei also jokingly greeted Xu Feng.
Xu Feng looked at Luo Wei's somewhat reluctant depressed expression, as if he hadn't seen him here just now, and said, "Hey, Director Luo is also here, do you two have any important topics to discuss, if it's inconvenient, then I'll avoid it." ”
This half-old and Mo Fei are cooperating, Luo Wei knows this very well, the relationship between people must be much closer than himself, how can he let others avoid it at this time, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I also congratulate Mr. Mo for a few words, and then I'm leaving, Mrs. Tang, you continue to chat, I'll leave first." ”
Watching Luo Wei walk away, Xu Feng shook his head slightly, and said, "This Luo fat man is very flexible, and he actually thought of looking for Mr. Mo to cooperate, but I look at him, I should have been rejected by Mr. Mo, right?" ”
"This person is indeed very discerning, but his luck is not very good, Phoenix Culture is very cautious in foreign cooperation, and his company is even more cautious." Mo Fei guessed that Xu Feng was specially here to fight the fire, and said with a busy thanks: "Having said that, I really have to thank Mrs. Tang for appearing in time, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to entangle him." ”
"Honggu is so beautiful today, congratulations again on winning the actress award." Xu Feng said hello to Zhong Chuhong. Only then did he giggle again and said, "I came to talk to Mr. Mo, and it wasn't all to put out the fire for you." At the same time, I want to ask Mr. Mo your opinion, just think of it as my reward for helping you this time. ”
"Oh? Mrs. Tang guards Mr. Tang as a big think tank, what can't be solved by sunning, and I need to point fingers? "Xu Feng's husband is a Taiwanese real estate tycoon, the chairman of Tomson Group, and what Xu Feng's husband can't solve is probably only the problem of the entertainment industry.
Xu Feng pursed his lips and said, "This problem happens to be something he can't solve." Regarding a new film, I received a script some time ago and was hesitant between making it and not making it. So I want to ask Mr. Mo to help me take a look. ”
Now Xu Feng should no longer be an actor, this "shoot or not" should refer to whether to invest or not, for this point, he has an unparalleled innate advantage, and it is really right to find him as a staff officer.
Since collaborating on "Farewell My Concubine". The relationship between the two companies has always been good. Xu Feng really didn't ask Mo Fei for any help, and now that he opened his mouth for the first time, Mo Fei couldn't refuse, and said: "I don't know what the theme of this film is, what is the title of the film, Tang Tai, have you brought the script?" ”
After Mo Fei finished asking, he found that Xu Feng was a little squeaky, and looked at Mo Fei's Honggu and a few bodyguards. I looked at the other people of the Phoenix culture again, as if there was something unspeakable.
Such a reaction is very strange. Could it be that it shouldn't be a salty movie, Tomson Film and Television didn't do those things in my memory, could it be that even this point has changed in this history, that's really a sin.
After squeaking for a while, Xu Feng took a copy of the script from the assistant behind him and handed it to Mo Fei, without saying what the name and type it was, and said: "I knew that I would meet Mr. Mo at today's awards ceremony, so I brought the script in advance, this script was written by Wen Jun, and I just gave it to my company a few days ago. ”
As soon as I looked at the four big words on the cover page of the script, "The old lady is sassy enough", I knew why Xu Feng didn't say the name of the script, these four words were definitely a big damage to the image, others could only hear her say this, how could they know that this script was not so sassy at all.
This "Old Lady is Sassy Enough" can basically be regarded as a half-street work, it was only released for a week and took more than 2 million box office, if it weren't for Xu Feng's face, it is likely that this film would be painted on the third day.
Maybe it's because of the director's skills, plus the story of the script is lackluster and unattractive, this "Old Lady is Sassy" is honestly still a little interesting in terms of photography, and the other content is basically nothing special, Jiang Dawei, Ye Dexian and others' acting skills are completely blind.
For movies of this era, you don't need to read the script at all, as long as you know the title of the movie, you can tell whether the film will be successful or not. But he can't just look at it and say that the script is not good, then he will offend people, treating others insincere is a taboo, not to mention the entertainment industry whose reputation is already cherished.
And the award ceremony is not a place to speak, so he handed the script to Ah Huo and put it away, saying: "That's it, I'll take a good look at the script when I go back, and then let's talk on the phone, now is indeed not the time and occasion to speak." ”
Xu Feng didn't think about giving her an answer now, nodded and smiled: "I think so too." Originally, I wanted to invite Mr. Mo to have a meal to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but unfortunately Mr. Mo is very busy today, and it seems that you can only wait until you return to Hong Kong. ”
Mo Fei was originally going to call Xu Feng later, but on the way back to the hotel, Mo Fei suddenly thought of a person, who was Du Kefeng, the photographer of "Old Lady is Sassy Enough". This film can be said to be a fiasco, but the only highlight is the photography, and it also won the Best Cinematography Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and it is also the first time that the Academy Awards have awarded this award to a foreigner, which shows that Du Kefeng's photography skills are already very good at this time.
Christopher To is the first photographer in Hong Kong to be under Bao Dexi, and the first photographer in Asia after Bao Dexi became naturalized in the United States. In his early years, he was a seafarer, worked as a fake Chinese medicine doctor, and was once a master of digging wells in the desert.
This guy, who claims to be a "Chinese with skin diseases", has won six Hong Kong Film Awards Best Cinematography Trophies and four Golden Horse Awards Best Cinematography Trophies, and has also been recognized by the three major film festivals of Cannes, Berlin and Venice.
At this time, Du Kefeng was just about to return to Hong Kong from Taiwan, if he could be recruited at this time, and then give him a few good themes to shoot, I believe that the royal photographer of Wang Jiawei in the previous life will no longer exist, and in the future Hong Kong film circle, there will be an additional Phoenix culture exclusive photographer Du Kefeng.
With this attraction of Du Kefeng, Mo Fei doesn't want to wait too long, this should be a natural reaction after meeting talents, and he is always afraid that he will be signed by others if he starts a minute late.
Mo Fei took out the script in the car and took a brief look at it, and sure enough, it was no different from the "Old Lady Enough" I had seen in my previous life. The heroine has been living with her police husband for eighteen years, and she has always thought that she is a very happy woman, but she has no idea that her husband has a lover outside of her and has already given birth to a son. Suddenly, her husband's lover died in front of her eyes, and her husband committed suicide by jumping off a building in the police station, and after both of them were killed, a secret notepad of her husband's life also became a life-threatening thing. The heroine rescued her husband's illegitimate son and fled to Macau with the child, but she still couldn't escape the most stupid fate, and the boss who convicted her husband of committing suicide was actually the mastermind and the mastermind behind the whole incident. The same story, the same process and ending, and the same film that is destined to pounce.
Xu Feng is also a partner, although Phoenix Culture is indeed more suitable as the producer of the movie, but people can wait until there is a suitable opportunity to start filming "Farewell My Concubine", but they still chose to cooperate with the two parties, and are willing to give up greater benefits, but at this point, they can't watch Xu Feng jump into the pit.
Anyway, sooner or later, I have to talk about it, and now that there is Du Kefeng's matter, Mo Fei simply called Xu Feng as soon as he returned to the hotel, and it was Xu Feng's voice after being connected. Mo Fei signed up directly and said, "Mrs. Tang, I'm Mo Fei, I've already read the script you gave me today, and I personally don't recommend you to take this script." ”
"What Mr. Mo means is that this script is not good, or is it a failure at all; If I were to follow up, would you expect Tomson to make no money, or would he lose a lot of money? "Xu Feng is already a businessman now, not the actor he was at the beginning, and there are many things to consider, not just to make money or not, but to be completely in charge.
Mo Fei can roughly guess a little bit of Xu Feng's thoughts, maybe this script will only be considered by her to take over the filming when she looks at her face, or maybe she owes favors or something before, in short, the relationship here is not just as simple as investing in production.
If this is the case, I feel that I need to persuade more seriously, people are favors, business is business, especially in the film industry, the failure of one film is likely to lead to the failure of the entire company. Xu Feng, who was in his previous life, did not invest much in film production in the late nineties, and it was almost shortly after this movie, which is quite a crucial one.
After thinking about it, he said: "In my personal opinion, this film should basically lose a lot of money, and the box office is not expected to exceed three million Hong Kong dollars, it is a liar who is destined to lose all his money, so I advise Mrs. Tang that you still have the idea of investing in large and small amounts, even if someone invites you, you don't have to pay for the company."
