In Mo Fei's original plan, the sixth movie to be made this year should be a comedy or action movie, and the task of '84 is just to make a fuss at the box office.
But now that he is going to change his plan, the first four films are all big hits, and the box office of the fifth film is basically guaranteed, and it is time to think about things other than business in the movie, or it can be said that it is a good combination of business and art.
In the 80s, Hong Kong had just entered a period of rapid economic development, and even the whole world was entering a new period of development in the 80s.
So I plan to make an inspirational film to give a shot in the arm to the hesitant Hong Kong people, at least to send a positive and brave message, and this film is the Oscar-nominated biopic "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".
The actor in the film has considered Wu Mengda, since the gambling debt incident, Wu Mengda has adopted his heart and cultivated his temperament, studied acting hard, and has enough strength to complete this film.
But when Mo Fei found Wu Mengda, Wu Mengda actually chose to refuse in the face of this role that was very likely to make him soar. The reason for his refusal is that although he has experienced setbacks, his age and experience are not enough to support him to play this role well, and he has also set a future path for himself, and it is also a great success to work hard to play a supporting role.
Wu Mengda's refusal did not make Mo Fei uncomfortable, but took a higher look at him, perhaps it was precisely because of this mentality that he had the later gold medal supporting role, and he had the "Uncle Da" who played everything vividly.
An excellent actor who is willing to be a green leaf, a gold medal supporting actor who can play any protagonist, for such Wu Mengda, it is natural to give preferential treatment. This film will definitely go to the awards, and arrange a supporting role for Wu Mengda in it, so that more audiences can know him, or he can win an award, which can be regarded as a reward for hard work.
Wu Mengda doesn't act, and finding someone to play it makes Mo Fei more worried. Zhou Yanfa's acting skills are good but he doesn't have enough experience, Liang Chaowei is too young and not suitable, Chen Baixiang is completely born for comedy or not, Yongjiang has enough experience and good acting skills but is too old. A day ago, Mo Fei was still lamenting that he was also strong, but now he found that no one in the company could be qualified for this role, and even some actors outside who were free to make film appointments were difficult to achieve the image of the protagonist in Mo Fei's heart.
In the end, it was Wu Mengda who gave Mo Fei a trick and said: "Mr. Mo, if you can't make up your mind about the actor in this play, why don't I recommend someone, he should be able to play this feeling well, and even perform Cailai." ”
Mo Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Brother Da, you are now a real strength actor, there will be no problem with your vision, you say let's see, what kind of person makes you so respected." ”
"Actually, the person I recommended Mr. Mo must have heard of it, it is Liu Songren, and now he is the contracted actor of ATV, and we all call him Brother Song. Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-five years old, has more than ten years of acting experience, and also went to the United States to study film and television courses, among the actors of that generation, he is the best, and he will definitely be able to play this role well. ”
"Well, he's the right fit." Mo Fei nodded. Speaking of Liu Songren, there is still a little relationship with Mo Fei, after Honggu ran for Miss Hong Kong, she failed the wireless audition, and it was Liu Songren who discovered Honggu to shoot "Blue Water and Cold Mountain", and embarked on the road of screen performance.
Liu Songren is a well-deserved famous movie star in the history of Hong Kong film and television, and he is also an irreplaceable symbol of the golden age of Hong Kong films. has played a variety of roles, the assassin Jing Ke in "Qin Shi Huang", Zhou Qihua in "The Kindness of the Earth", and Inspector Li Yu in "The King of a Thousand Kings Reappears in the Rivers and Lakes", almost all the roles are deeply rooted in the hearts of the audience, and in the hearts of the vast majority of audiences, Liu Songren has always been one of the most charming actors.
The children in the film are not difficult to find, and the actress is not important, but the actor must be carefully chosen. If Liu Songren can play the leading role in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", the success of this film will also be even higher.
……
Tang Hai had never seen his father since he was a child, and his childhood and adolescence were very unsatisfactory, and he did not meet his biological father until he was twenty-eight years old. He told himself that after he had a child, he had to be a good and conscientious father. But unfortunately, his life was not smooth, his career did not progress, his life was poor, and he traveled between various hospitals every day, making a living by selling medical rehabilitation equipment.
By chance, Tang Hai learned that being a stockbroker does not require a university clerk, as long as he understands numbers and interpersonal relationships, he can do it. So Tang Hai took the initiative to find a securities company, and with his persistence and a clever mouth, he successfully got an internship opportunity through a small game of playing the Rubik's Cube. But the conditions of the probationary period are also a little breathless, Tang Hai must work for half a year without a salary, defeating more than 20 people who are also on probation, and then he can become an official stockbroker.
At this time, Tang Hai's wife couldn't bear the poverty, so she left her children and her husband and went to Australia alone. Tang Hai and his son also lost their homes due to poverty, and had to rely on charity to survive, running from place to place, queuing up every day to live in the church's relief house, and sometimes even going to the public toilet for the night. But Tang Hai has always been optimistic, never flinching in the face of difficulties, and even went to sell blood because of extreme poverty, and firmly believed that happiness would come tomorrow......
The hard work paid off, and through his own efforts, Tang Hai finally stood out from his competitors and got a job as a stockbroker. And after many years, he started his own company and became a real rich man. ”
Liu Songren sat opposite Mo Fei and quietly listened to him finish this simple story. This is just a very normal story of struggle, an embarrassing situation, a difficult struggle, endless bad luck, and then a glimmer of opportunity, and finally a dawn, almost just by looking at the beginning, you can know the ending.
But people like to read stories like this, because they can find strength for themselves, and every time they hear about it, they always think, I'm in much better shape than him, then I will have hope. In this simplest thinking, a simple and beautiful story can play a role in filling the void and can also bring great power to people.
It is precisely because of the simplicity and popularity of this story that it is able to show how important it is to have an optimistic and positive heart in times of difficulty; It is precisely because of the simplicity of the story that the audience can resonate, recognize and accept the positive message that the story brings to everyone.
Of course, the story sounds simple, but if you want to make a good movie, it's not easy. First of all, the writer of this story must have a very high level, and there must be a director who is very good at digging and expressing the hearts of the characters, as long as these two points are met, the actor is not very important.
Mo Fei is undoubtedly a screenwriter of a very high level, which can be seen from his previous films. After pondering for a moment, Liu Songren asked: "This story is indeed very inspiring, I wonder which director Mr. Mo is going to invite to direct?" ”
is worthy of being an experienced actor, as soon as the problem came out, he was on the point, Mo Fei secretly praised it in his heart, and said: "The ideal director in my heart is Xu Anhua, and the second is Yan Hao, otherwise the filming of this film will be delayed indefinitely." ”
"Thank you Mr. Mo for trusting me and letting me play the leading role in this film, and I took this play. Director Xu Anhua, I am willing to go with Mr. Mo. ”
