Chapter 257, directed by the female elder
As the head of the performance of the modeling agency, Ruth understands Halle Berry's thoughts very well, and after winning the beauty pageant under 20 in the United States, she is very confident in the next Miss America pageant, and even dreams of the title of Miss Universe.
It is a good thing to have such confidence and ideals, which can allow her to have a better performance and performance in future beauty contests, but in the face of such an opportunity now, this kind of confidence persistence is very important, which is not just stupid, but fatal.
Miss America has been selected for so many years, Miss Universe has been selected for so many years, and the number of winners is almost uncountable, but there are a few who have really become popular through that channel, and most of them have basically returned to the dull in the end.
Maybe I participated in Miss America, I participated in Miss Universe, and I ended up winning awards, but then what. If you want to enter the real entertainment industry, don't you have to start as a model, and then wait for the opportunity to be selected by the film and television company, go around in a big circle, and finally start again.
Of course, these are not what Ruth is most worried about, she is afraid that Halle Berry will say this, which will make the other side think that this is waiting for the price to sell, then she will really cry.
What kind of company is Phoenix Culture, at least in the current view, it is enough to compete with the old Hollywood companies, if it can get the attention of such a film company, it is equivalent to advancing the success by many steps, isn't it much better than participating in the beauty pageant, what is the beauty pageant for, not to be famous.
Moreover, Phoenix Culture is a newly established company, and it is certainly not perfect in all aspects. It is when someone is needed to join in to fight the world together, and becoming a member of it now is needless to say the benefits in the future.
The main thing is that this is a road to the real entertainment industry. Even if it gets to the worst level, Phoenix Culture can't do it anymore, but it has already brought her into that circle before that, isn't it, as long as she gets in, there will be opportunities.
But now, this stupid girl didn't think about it so much at all, and she was still thinking about expressing herself through beauty pageants. Once she annoys Mo Fei, this opportunity will slip away in vain, and God knows if she will regret crying for today's hesitation.
Of course, this matter is definitely good for Jumbo Models. Being able to launch a model who signed a major film company, won praise and reputation in the industry, and was able to vacate a fillable spot to participate in the Miss Ohio beauty pageant, this is killing two birds with one stone.
If there is no interest. A lot of people will be a spectator. But for the sake of the company and for their own good. In order to be able to help Halle Berry, a silly girl, Ruth must say a few heart-wrenching words at this time.
"Harley, my little darling, do you still need to think about it so much at this time?" Ruth took Halle Berry's hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to choose between participating in beauty pageants and making movies, even if you participate in beauty pageants and win all the way, you can only start as a model in the future, but now you can start as an actor." What's the reason why you shouldn't choose an easier path? ”
"But......" Halle Berry didn't understand this, but she also had her own concerns.
Ruth is really scared of Halle Berry. was afraid that she would say something offensive to people, so he immediately stopped her and said, "I know, you're worried that you're not capable of performing in the movie, right, but what's the matter, don't those actors all start from the beginning, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to do a good job." ”
Knowing Halle Berry's achievements in the future, of course, he can "foresee" what kind of improvement her acting skills will have, and he wants to sign Halle Berry not only because "Pirates of Malacca" needs a black actress, he wants an Oscar actress.
Seeing that Ruth had almost persuaded her, she also spoke at the right time: "Harley, if you don't mind, I'll call you that." Actually, acting is not that difficult, the main thing is that you combine yourself with the character you want to perform, so that you yourself are her, so that it is no problem. And as a new actor, it is impossible for me to arrange too heavy characters for you, first start with roles that do not test your acting skills, familiarize yourself with the atmosphere and rhythm of the performance, and then start to get in touch with the role of supporting roles, and eventually become a famous heroine.
Of course, before that, I will arrange for you to go to the school for a while to have a preliminary understanding of the performance, and then it is time to start joining the crew. The movie you're going to play won't start until the late spring and early summer of next year, and you still have half a year to learn, and I'm sure you can do it. If you sign a contract with Phoenix Culture, as long as you are willing to work hard, I can guarantee that you will be the heroine within two years and become a real Hollywood star. ”
Frank next to him also helped: "That's true, Miss Halle Berry, Mr. Mo Fei has never failed, you should know that all the movies released by our company have received good box office, whether in Asia or North America, there is no doubt about this." Now the hot Miss Chung Chuhong and Bruce Willis, you must have heard of them, they are both big stars who are popular by Mr. Mo Fei himself, as well as Mr. Zhou Yunfa and Mr. Liu Songren, who won the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival, and many actors, all of whom became popular by taking on Mr. Mo Fei's movies.
And what you don't know, in Hong Kong, the East, the most profitable movies are the works of Phoenix Culture, and many famous stars are signed actors by Phoenix Culture. Bruce Willis was a little-known actor half a year ago, but now he has been paid more than $1 million; As an actress, Miss Chung's salary has reached $3 million. If you become a contracted actor of Phoenix Culture, maybe one day you can do the same. ”
Well, Halle Berry is still a little girl, under the persuasion or temptation of several people who are so famous and profitable, she can't bear it, and she quickly figured everything out and agreed to sign a contract with Phoenix Culture.
Now that he has signed a contract as a film actor, there is no need for the modeling agency to stay any longer. Halle Berry returned to the modeling agency and said a brief goodbye to her former colleagues. Knowing that she had signed a contract with the film company, the girls all sent their blessings, including the one who was sour before. This moment can only be happy and blissful.
Then everyone took a group photo together, Mo Fei, the boss of the film company, will naturally not be forgotten, and several more lively girls also took a photo with Mo Fei alone.
Looking at Halle Berry, who was lively with the girls, Mo Fei was also quite emotional. At this moment, these girls may be envious of Halle Berry for getting a good opportunity, but who can know how dazzling this slightly immature black pearl will shine in the future. He only picked up the leak by relying on his foreknowledge.
Sexy stunner, Bond girl, Miss America runner-up, Oscar for Best Actress, Berlin Film Festival Best Actress, the most valuable black actress, these are all Halle Berry's labels. It's just that from this moment on, the identity of the runner-up of Miss America has nothing to do with her. She may have a few more titles in the future, but what they are, it's still unknown.
Then Halle Berry went home and told her mother and sister that her parents divorced when she was four years old. It was her mother who raised her and her sister. Now that I have the opportunity to soar, of course, I have to share it with my mother.
Sitting on the flight to Los Angeles, Halle Berry still hasn't looked back, but in just one day, she has changed from a small model to a movie actor, signed with one of the most popular film companies.
If someone had told her about it before yesterday, she would have thought of them as mentally ill or liars. But now, Halle Berry quietly pinched her own leg. There is a feeling of pain, and it is all a reality.
It's been since I got on the plane. Just close your eyes and think about things. When he boarded the plane, he happened to see Halle Berry's right ear with a small earring, and remembered that during the relationship between Halle Berry and Wesley Snipes (the one who played Blade), the man beat his right ear to almost deafness, and then thought of Halle Berry's love history, and the real feelings of various fake acts made by artists, and I don't know if it is a good thing to be too deep in the play.
But these are not things he can control, as long as there is an actor, this kind of thing is impossible to avoid, the moral code of human beings has not been noble to that point, just like "Farewell My Concubine", the brothers can sing their feelings, not to mention more modern movies and more open modern people.
After arriving in Los Angeles for a night's rest, he took Black Pearl with him to meet Jackson in Columbia, and he asked Jackson to help arrange for Halle Berry to audit the art school. It's just a year since college started, and many courses have just started, so it's not too late to transfer to the class, and half a year or so is enough time for Halle Berry to learn something.
Couldn't have brought someone with him, Jackson didn't come by himself, and there was a tall beauty with a lot of charm around him, or it was not accurate to describe him as tall, among women, especially among women who were not sports professionals, this should be regarded as an elder.
The two of them were already very acquainted, and after meeting each other, they hugged briefly, and without waiting for Mo Fei's introduction, Jackson looked at Halle Berry and exclaimed, "Oh my God, great Mo, how can I praise you." Why do you always have beautiful women around you, it's so jealous, it seems that those rumors are not carefully enough, at least they don't know about your affairs in the United States, I want to take a picture of today's picture, and then fax it to those media in Hong Kong. But it doesn't seem like you need to, you're going to be more and more famous in Hollywood and the whole of America, and the entertainment journalists in the U.S. will let you feel their enthusiasm. She's pretty, isn't she! ”
In the face of Jackson's ridicule, Mo Fei smiled indifferently, introduced him and Halle Berry to each other, and said: "This is the actor I just signed to Phoenix Culture, Halle Berry, if you pay attention to this year's beauty pageant under 20 in the United States, you should have an impression of her." Hallie, this is my good friend and a valued partner in our company, Mr. Gleason Jackson of Columbia Pictures Group Distribution. ”
After Jackson and Halle Berry met, Mo Fei also looked at the tenor next to Jackson and joked to Jackson: "Actually, you should be better than me, I dreamed of finding a girlfriend who is taller than me, at least taller than me in high heels, but I never found it, and you did it." ”
Jackson is 1.8 meters tall, and the tall man next to him is a little taller than him in flat heels, so this joke is really to the point.
This joke actually has a slight explanation, if a woman's height is taller than most men in her life, she will have a little inferiority, especially when she sees a woman of normal height like Halle Berry. So Mo Fei used this joke to tell the other party that in fact, height is not a problem, at least he will not think that there is anything inappropriate or uncoordinated about a woman's tall figure.
And this female tall woman is obviously not as tall, so she added a sentence "At least the high heels are taller than me" to make his meaning clearer. Judging from the smile of gratitude from the other party, this sentence should be very useful.
As for saying that he wants to find a girlfriend who is taller than himself, it's basically. Could it be that it is very high among Hong Kong people, and if you calculate carefully, it is more than 1.84 meters, and if you want to find a girlfriend who is taller than yourself and meets the specific conditions, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.
Jackson had to secretly admire Mo Fei's means and mouth in his heart, no wonder so many beauties would follow him, with Mo Fei's identity and status, and such a ability, it is strange that this situation does not occur.
Shaking his head helplessly about some gap between them, Jackson introduced Mo Fei and the eldest woman, saying: "This person next to me is not a girlfriend, but my wife's college classmate and good friend of our family, Catherine Birog, she is also a director, and she directed a movie "Ruthless" with Mondy Montgomery. Catherine, I don't need to introduce this one, don't you just want to meet this famous producer today? Oh, by the way, he's also a director now, so you can talk to each other, and you'll probably be a little taller than him when you're wearing high heels, hehe. ”
When they first met, Mo Fei felt as if this eldest woman had met somewhere, and when Jackson said the name "Catherine Birog", he finally remembered, how could he not be familiar, this person's name is quite not small.
Now she may just make a short film and co-make a feature film with someone else, but if history does not change, in more than two decades, she will become the first female director to win an Oscar, and she is ashamed of the number of male directors who call themselves masters.
Catherine Birog can be said to be a special case among women, with beautiful appearance, enviable talent, and of course, a height that is different from the average woman.
Catherine Birog, whose directorial style is obviously masculine, is a real woman, and her most domineering quote is "I can do that man's job very well".
Knowing that Phoenix culture is going to develop globally, she immediately guided a future Oscar director who had just debuted to meet him, and listening to the meaning of Jackson's words, it seems that this female elder is still more interested in Phoenix culture. If you don't fool this eldest woman into signing a contract with Phoenix Culture, she is likely to be damned. . . )
